Wufu's directness could be considered rude, leaving Princess Consort Wei not only shocked but also causing astonishment among many in the hall, because it was rare for someone to be provoked and not only refuse to retort, but even to counterattack.
Some would think her rude, yet others felt a sense of satisfaction, thinking: who told you to provoke her!
The one who picks the fight is the inferior one!
"You..." Princess Consort Wei was embarrassed and angry, thinking of this lowly countryside girl as extremely rude.
Wufu smiled faintly, looked at the Empress Dowager of Nanyue, and said, "Although my main training is in carving with my mentor, he is a great Confucian. Under his influence, though I am not proficient in composing poetry, I have learned a little."
She took a couple of steps, thought for a moment, and said: "Since it is the Empress Dowager's birthday, I have a piece here to wish Her Majesty a long life."
