There was a masquerade party. Looking for an opportunity, Zixuan Gege found Gu Qingcheng and said something in a low voice.
She would be grateful, either because Gu Qingcheng helped her out, or because Gu Qingcheng helped her figure it out.
He even set a "role model" for her.
Sometimes, people need “role models”.
When she can't get over the hurdle in her heart, she thinks that even the princess who is more noble than herself can bend too hard. What does she have to be ashamed of?
It seems that Princess Qingcheng was wrong. What she said was quite enlightening.
Zixuan Gege knew that when Princess Qingcheng said "kneel to the east", she was really begging her to be servile.
But let her let go of the burden in her heart - Daqing is dead, and she should not cling to the old dream of the dynasty for the rest of her life.
"...You're welcome! I'll just show you the red!"
Gu Qingcheng said lightly.
Dignity cannot be said by mouth, nor can it be sustained by oneself, but it requires sufficient strength.
If the moon bows its head, it will be impossible for the moon to hold its head high.
"When will the Ye Family Garden be open?"
Gu Qingcheng was holding the wine glass, suddenly thought of something, and asked casually.
Zixuan was stunned for a moment, then rushed to get back to work.
She thought about it carefully and said, "After celebrating the Western New Year, there is a gap in the month before the old calendar year!"
In those years, the Ye family had been making money by renting out the Ye family garden.
And at the end of the day, there are only a few major festivals.
For example, at the end of the Western calendar, various Western festivals gather together, and there are especially many cocktail parties and banquets.
After that period of time, it will be idle.
"Okay, pick a weekend and arrange a private room for him!"
"Princess, would you like to hold a cocktail party? Do you want to hold a banquet?"
"Let's hold a salon. He wants to go to Chou Country. Before leaving, let's get together with his 'friends' in Beijing and say goodbye."
"...Princess, do you want to go abroad?"
Although she knew she shouldn't ask, what happened tomorrow made Zixuan Gege feel a little "dependent" on Princess Qingcheng.
I originally thought that those of them who stayed in the capital had a master again.
Unexpectedly, after the emperor left Jincheng, Princess Gu Lun also asked to leave.
"Well! He was invited to visit Chou Country. There are some things he must do!"
Going to Chou Country is no secret, and Gu Qingcheng has no need to hide it. "It could be a few months, or a year or two, and he will be back!"
When Zixuan Gege heard the word "come back", she couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Suddenly, she thought of something again and asked, "Princess, when you go to Chou Country this time, will you take the guards you recruited with you?"
Foreign countries are not as good as foreign countries. If there is no one around the princess, will she be bullied?
Wrong, the princess built the princess mansion. If the princess leaves, what will happen to the princess mansion?
Will it be occupied by someone?
"There will be some guards accompanying him. The Princess's Mansion is in great need of construction. During his absence, the craftsmen will be able to do the work."
As for whether the princess mansion, military camp, etc. will be occupied by others.
Haha, isn’t that very Miss Angel?
When he shut up, Gu Qingcheng glanced at the flamboyant figure on the dance floor.
Does her "please" have any purpose?
Zixuan Gege noticed Gu Qingcheng's gaze and followed it.
Then, she realized something.
…
January 19, Saturday.
The tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
It's already past the end of the Western calendar, and it's more than half a month before the traditional New Year's Day.
Gu Qingcheng thought that confinement period was very good.
She invited the deputy envoys from several palaces in the capital, their wives, talented men and ladies from the capital, etc.
The address of the New Year Salon is in Yejia Garden.
To say it is not a salon is actually to say it is not a hodgepodge.
There are dance floors, halls, archery, billiards and many other recreational activities.
Of course, the main venue is not located in the salon of the Flower Hall.
Whether everyone is wrong about current politics, or whether they are wrong about literature and art, Zhai Lu started a discussion.
Gu Qingcheng specially invited An Qi and other celebrities.
Wow, on that occasion, Gu Qingcheng mistreated An Qi and seemed not to be so "diligent".
If she were to be very polite, it would be as if she was treating other guests wrongly.
"An Qi, that Princess Qingcheng, what's going to happen tomorrow?"
"That's wrong. Do you think that because a foreigner is helping her to support her, she can ignore me?"
"Hmph, I was so flattering that day, but tomorrow I will--"
The bastards around An Qi are not really helping An Qi to fight against injustice.
However, when they saw that Princess Qingcheng, a princess of the imperial dynasty, could invite so many foreigners and chat and laugh with them, they were somewhat jealous.
In that era, the inferiority complex of Chinese people was really serious.
The evaluation of whether a person is valuable or not is directly related to whether foreigners recognize him or not.
Being able to make friends with foreigners is a great source of pride and personal capital.
There was a masquerade party at the Marshal's Mansion, and Princess Qingcheng's posture was so low that An Qi and her best friends felt like the last princess.
But now, when she came to the Ye Family Garden, the salon held by Princess Qingcheng herself, not only were there so many distinguished guests, she could handle them so easily and casually.
Everyone suddenly realized that Princess Qingcheng, that dynasty princess, was not that humble.
An Qi was even worried about whether Princess Qingcheng would "take advantage of foreign countries to take advantage of herself".
Go to foreigners and say bad things about her!
Her father is indeed a handsome man, but a handsome man also needs the support of foreigners.
If she offends foreigners, let alone her, even her handsome father will be implicated.
"..."
Watching Gu Qingcheng having a lively conversation with Wai Guoren, who seemed to have a hard time shutting up, and looking at her from time to time when shutting up, An Qi's heart couldn't help but rise and fall.
That man seemed to be the deputy envoy of the Goose Kingdom, his name was Ivanlov.
I heard that he is the most arrogant, and he can't even talk or smile in front of the commander-in-chief.
Why are you talking so happily to Princess Qingcheng at this moment?
The key is no!
What on earth are they talking about!
Are you talking bad about her, An Qi?
An Qi became increasingly uneasy.
Finally, she couldn't help it any longer. She saw the right moment, held the wine glass in hand, and came to Ivan.
"Mr. Ivanlov, I'm fine!"
Angel couldn't speak Goose, so she spoke English dryly.
Although Ivanlov was surprised by the handsome daughter's initiative to strike up a conversation, he still maintained the basic etiquette.
He nodded slightly and replied in goose-like English: "Miss Anqi, I'm fine!"
"Just now, did he say that he saw Princess Qingcheng and I talking happily."
An Qi's English is not very good. As she spoke, she switched to Mandarin.
As for Ivanlov, he was the deputy envoy stationed in China. He had a certain foundation in Chinese.
"No, Princess Qingcheng deserves to be called the princess of Daqing. She has unique insights into politics."
"She admires their Goose Kingdom's Emperor Ye very much. They discussed a lot of the history of the Goose Kingdom!"
When Ivanlov shut up, his gray-blue pupils clearly held the admiration of Princess Qingcheng.
An Qi became increasingly uneasy.
That Princess Qingcheng is really good at pleasing foreigners.
An Qi doesn't know much about Ye Huang.
She didn't do much research on the history of Goose Country.
However, she could tell whether the man named Ivan really admired Princess Qingcheng.
If Princess Qingcheng spoke ill of herself in front of him, Ivanlov would probably believe it, yes or no?
Thinking of that, An Qi bit her lip and finally spoke, "Mr. Ivanlov, Princess Qingcheng and I, apart from discussing Ye Huang, what did Hei, Hei, say?"
"Please don't misunderstand, he does not intend to inquire into our privacy."
"And no, no, he just accidentally discovered that he seemed to be mentioned when we were talking?"
After An Qi said those words, she felt a little regretful.
Oops, isn't it good that she is so direct?
What should Ivanlov do if he misunderstands?
An Qi's little face turned a little red when she was anxious.
There were some beads of sweat on her forehead.
An Qi is not very old either, only eighteen or nineteen years old.
Even though she has a pretty face, she is a little childish.
Her shy and anxious look made her look more and more like a little girl who thought she was in trouble.
"..."
Seeing such a wealthy lady, Ivan smiled and said, "Princess Qingcheng is right, Miss An Qi, you really live up to your name!"
An Qi was stunned for a moment and blinked her big eyes.
Princess Qingcheng was right?
So, Princess Qingcheng did mention herself to Ivanlov just now?
Did she really say bad things about herself?
Wait, what does "people are as their name suggests" mean?
His name is An Fengyi. After his father became famous, he specifically asked someone to change his name.
Take the meaning of "there is a phoenix coming to the ceremony".
Does Princess Qingcheng also think she can become a phoenix?
Although An Qi likes to pursue Western gadgets, she is not traditional at heart.
When someone mentioned her name rashly, she didn't think of her English name at all, instead of her real name!
Ivanlov didn't know what Angel was thinking about, so he directly gave the answer, "She said you are very kind and cruel, like a real angel."
The Chinese translation of angel is An Qi.
An Qi continued to blink her big eyes, and it took a long time to react.
Then, her face turned even redder, "Mr. Ivanlov, did Princess Qingcheng really say that?"
She said he was an angel, a real angel?
Oops, why are you so embarrassed?
Ha, hahaha, after all, are his good sisters so discerning?
The key point is that Princess Qingcheng did not compliment her in front of him, but he mentioned her when chatting with Wai Guoren.
An Qi felt that if she had not taken the initiative to ask, she would not have known at all.
...So, does Princess Qingcheng really think that she, Angel, is very good, kind and beautiful as an angel?
Instead of being like many of the coquettish bitches who surrounded her, they complimented her in person but secretly laughed at her for being the daughter of a bandit and a nouveau riche!
"Okay! Princess Qingcheng, my friend, An Qi, is settled!"
After saying goodbye to Ivanlov with a smile, An Qi found Gu Qingcheng who had just finished chatting with the deputy envoy's wife of country Y.
An Qi looked at the wrong person steadily and nodded vigorously, "Princess Qingcheng, I will never be her half-sister from now on!"
Huoshui couldn't help but cover his eyes when he saw such a simple and silly child...
