Long Yang's beating words not only shocked Li Wei, but also kept the other ministers silent.
The ministers who originally placed bets on Li Tong'er broke into cold sweats on the spot when they saw Li Wei's fate.
He also thought that Li Tong'er might really be able to catch the emperor's eye.
Now it seems that it was a big mistake.
On this day, Li Tong'er followed Mrs. Li to the banquet as usual and had no idea what happened in the court.
Today is a banquet hosted by Mrs. Gao, which takes place in the Gao Family Courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing.
Mrs. Gao's villa is planted with many precious and rare flowers. It is said that they were bought with a lot of money and a lot of thought, and are carefully cultivated by flower farmers every day.
The weather has been getting warmer these days and the flowers are blooming, so we organized this flower viewing banquet and invited ladies and ladies to come and enjoy the flowers.
Li Tong'er has been in the limelight these days and is used to being surrounded by people wherever she goes, thinking that she will get the same treatment today.
As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Gao family, he was prepared to be surrounded by his wife and young ladies.
However, today, since she stepped into the courtyard, everyone looked at her strangely, as if they were looking at something dirty, which made Li Tong'er very uncomfortable.
"How dare she come?"
"That is, if you have that kind of disease, aren't you afraid of infecting others?"
"If I had known she would come, I wouldn't have come today."
"Mrs. Gao, it's true that you dare to invite such a person. It's really unlucky."
…
Everyone did not lower their voices, so what was said reached the ears of Mrs. Li and her daughter word for word.
After understanding the meaning behind everyone's words, both mother and daughter turned pale with anger.
Li Tong'er tightened the handkerchief in her hand. She already looked weak, but now she looked even more pitiable.
Mrs. Li was so angry that she wanted to rush up and tear their mouths apart, but Li Tong'er still had some sense and hurriedly stopped her, "Mom, don't be angry, this is Mrs. Gao's territory. If we are in her place and If people argue, Mrs. Gao will be unhappy."
Mrs. Gao's husband is a military general and can speak well in the court. Therefore, after receiving Mrs. Gao's post, Li Tong'er actively came to the banquet.
Mrs. Li knows this is true, but listen to what those gossips are saying
Ouch, she was so angry!
Li Tong'er held her arm, patted her comfortingly, and then raised her voice a little higher, "The pure will become clear, and the turbid will become turbid! Mother, we are not afraid of distorted shadows if we are upright."
Her voice was not soft and she said it deliberately for those people to hear.
The voices of the ladies and ladies pointing not far away were silent for a moment, but soon started whispering again.
And his voice became louder and louder, and his tone was unabashedly contemptuous and disgusting.
"No, I won't be able to eat if I live under the same roof with such people. I'll leave first."
"Let's go together."
"Come on, if you stay a little longer, I'll feel uncomfortable all over."
Soon, all the young girls who had gathered together to enjoy the flowers left.
In such a large courtyard, there were only some older ladies left.
Relying on their status and not wanting to be embarrassed by their master, they were reserved and did not run away. However, they looked at Mrs. Li and her daughter with undisguised contempt.
When Mrs. Gao rushed out after hearing the news, the people were almost gone.
She didn't expect that a flower-viewing party would end up in such a lonely situation.
"What happened? Why did they all leave?" Mrs. Gao was furious, with an ugly face on her face, and directly said, "I won't invite them next time. There is no etiquette at all."
A lady who was still in the yard came over and said something in her ear.
Li Tong'er clearly saw Mrs. Gao's expression change, and she was even more surprised than when she learned that the guest had run away.
Li Tong'er frowned.
Sure enough, Mrs. Gao's eyes immediately looked over with scrutiny and scrutiny.
Li Tong'er couldn't be mute anymore and took a few steps forward to explain. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gao avoided her like a wild beast and stumbled back a few steps.
"Don't come near me." Mrs. Gao's voice changed.
