Peng Lingwei was a little furious. Li Guiniang was so domineering that she not only hurt Wei An's face, but also the girl from the Peng family.
When the time comes, people will not say that Li Gui Niang is ignorant of etiquette, but instead will say that the Peng family does not know how to make arrangements and how to behave.
She gritted her teeth and laughed, revealing nothing on her face. She looked at her with her head held high, neither humble nor arrogant. "I don't know whether it's a bedbug or not. I only know that everyone who comes here is my guest. Ah Gui, you said I flatter the powerful and trample on the weak, but I don't dare to admit it. Who do I flatter? Who do I trample on?"
There was an elegant gathering at home, and the adults were talking in front. Miss Peng Si saw something was wrong downstairs, so she quickly went upstairs and grabbed Li Gui Niang first, but her face was facing Peng Lingwei: "A Gui's hot temper still hasn't changed. Who has offended you this time? Are you taking it out on the new sisters?"
Li Gui Niang was naturally unwilling to accept this. She had been favored by Emperor Longqing since she was born, and she also got along well with the several princesses that Emperor Longqing loved. Her mother was even planning to marry the Fifth Princess on behalf of her son, so she had always been the first among the noble ladies.
But this time, after her mother came back from the palace, she sighed for a while, saying that she never expected that a girl from a ruined marquis's family would have such a lucky son. It was simply unheard of. It would have been fine if she had married into a high-class family and become the daughter of a prince, but because of the Ming family's previous affairs, the emperor and empress even made a special trip to save her face.
Several night-shining pearls the size of a baby's fist that were tributed from the South China Sea, as well as several pieces of brocade that were tributed from the Jinling weaving factory, were all given as rewards.
The title of the princess was also drafted by the Ministry of Rites.
All of them, the legitimate nieces and nephews of Emperor Longqing, were placed at the back.
This is nothing to be intolerable. The most intolerable thing is that Queen Fang revealed her intention, asking them to treat Wei An as a proper sister from now on.
This is what these spoiled girls cannot tolerate.
If Wei An was really the daughter of Princess Changning, then I would look up to her and accept her reluctantly, but Wei An was a concubine's daughter!
It's just that she was born on the same day as Mingyuyou's child thanks to her good fortune of reincarnation. She is so honored that she has jumped up to be on equal footing with them, and they still have to flatter her. How can they bear this
What's more, if you inquire about Wei An's reputation, you will be even more disdainful.
The feelings between girls are the strongest and most inexplicable. Whether they can be friends or whether they are compatible can be known at a glance.
Li Gui Niang took one look at Wei An's appearance and felt cold from the bottom of her heart to the bottom of her feet - at such a young age, he already had the appearance of a vixen, he must have been born to be a seductive concubine.
Her mother had been proud all her life and was a princess, but even such a proud person allowed her father to have several daughters born to concubines. Because she had inherited her mother's temper, she was not as respected as those illegitimate daughters in front of her father. This alone made her hate Wei An to the core.
He didn't even give Peng Si Niang face. He straightened his clothes, sneered, looked to the left, and pointed out the names of several girls: "I won't associate with such vulgar people. Do you want to leave?"
It's not like she had never met the princesses of the princess's family before. This time, the fairy-looking princess of Chang'an will also come in a while. But she has never been so disrespectful as Li Gui Niang. Peng Si Niang took back the hand she had already extended, bit her lip with a cold face and said righteously: "Since Ah Gui wants to leave, I will order my servants to urge the carriage."
The Peng family had their title taken away, and now they have established themselves as an upright family. If they blindly try to please others, they will inevitably be seen as inappropriate. There are so many girls here today, and if a word or two gets out, they will be branded as flatterers.
Compared with reputation, falling out with Li Gui Niang is not that big a deal.
Li Gui Niang never thought that the Peng family would be so tough. She was stunned for a moment. The knuckles of the fan in her hand had turned white and her face was pale. After a long while, she sneered and left without waiting for anyone.
Wei An suddenly called out to her, "Wait."
Li Gui Niang really stopped and turned to look at Wei An, with a look of arrogance and contempt, "Call me?"
Wei An endured anger for his entire life in his previous life.
If you don’t have the capital to be proud, you can only live in fear.
But she just doesn't want to keep her tail down for the rest of her life, and she doesn't have to keep her tail down anymore.
If she could not take control of her life over again, her future life would be no different from her previous one.
What Shen Chen said was that in this life, nothing is more important than making yourself happy.
She didn't even frown, and instead of answering, she asked, "My lady, you said I am crude and unworthy of sitting at the same table with you?"
Li Gui Niang was not afraid at all. Others might give some face to the newly promoted daughter of King Zheng, but if she didn't want to, she didn't have to. She didn't even stumble and immediately responded: "Standing together, I feel like a bitch, smelly and dirty!"
The girls around covered their faces with their fans, not daring to show any expression.
Most of them gasped in shock.
Everyone knew that Li Gui Niang had a bad temper, but this was the first time she had scolded someone so harshly, and no one wanted to embarrass herself.
Wei An was not angry at all, her eyes were sparkling, as if all the stars in the sky were gathered in her eye sockets, and as she turned towards the sun, the light was sparkling.
She smiled and said, "The Queen is the mother of the country, and she never despised me for being so dirty."
Although Wei An had some thoughts and was disliked in the past, he had never been so tough in front of others. Everyone looked at Li Gui Niang, then at Wei An, and it took them a while to smell the smell of gunpowder, and their faces changed.
Li Gui Niang pressed forward step by step, but Wei An refused to give in at all and even brought up the Queen. It was obvious that he had made up his mind to challenge Li Gui Niang.
Peng Lingwei felt that she had been humiliated by Li Guiniang today, so she didn't say anything and just stood aside, pretending not to hear anything.
Li Gui Niang snorted, "The Queen is so busy with her affairs, how could she know what kind of person this lowly person who was born out of a concubine's wife and took advantage of her birth date is like."
Wei An's face turned cold: "Please be careful with your words, Princess! My mother is the Princess of Zheng! What do you mean by concubine's daughter? How come I don't understand a single word you say?"
In the eyes of Emperor Longqing and Empress Fang, choosing her to be the daughter of Prince Zheng and Ming Yuyou was a face-saving move and a good way to suppress Prince Zheng. It was an injustice to Prince Zheng as well as to the Ming and Wei families.
Some things cannot be spoken of, but Li Gui Niang just doesn't know how to live or die.
