148 Since ancient times, there are many beautiful women who are unlucky
"Stop making trouble, tomorrow is your mother's birthday." Lu Wushuang raised his hand and took away Beitang Ye's hand that was inserted into her clothes, frowning slightly.
"I know, but this doesn't affect us." Bei Tangye raised his eyebrows and reached in again, holding Lu Wushuang's two soft balls and rubbing them.
"Who said it won't affect me? If I have to dance or play the piano at tomorrow's birthday banquet, how can I perform if I have a sore back?" Lu Wushuang deliberately threatened. She really frightened Bei Tangye.
Lived.
Bei Tangye squeezed it hard a few times, then reluctantly took it out.
"I don't know what kind of programs my mother will arrange tomorrow. Girls, you must live up to your expectations and perform well to win the favor of your mother."
"Yeah." Lu Wushuang agreed, but she was thinking in her heart that Empress Dowager Chen hated her from the bottom of her heart. Even if she showed off eighteen talents, she would not be able to impress her. In this case, why bother using her enthusiasm?
Put your face against someone's cold ass.
In order for Lu Wushuang to perform well the next day, Bei Tangye naturally didn't dare to make any move, but he had just experienced the love of a man and a woman, but he couldn't do anything with the beautiful woman in his arms. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
, couldn't sleep at all. In the end, Beitangye decided to go back to Prince Qi's Mansion to sleep.
The spring breeze is warm and the sun is bright.
After a good night's sleep, Lu Wushuang got up early and put on the dress specially customized by Bei Tangye.
The long skirt made of silver silk was put on her body, making her skin even more white as snow. At first glance, she looked like a snow lotus blooming on the top of a snow mountain, elegant and refined, cold and arrogant.
"Miss Third is so beautiful in this outfit. She looks like a goddess walking out of the snow-capped mountains. She is so beautiful." Xiao Qing, who was standing aside, couldn't help but praise her.
"Your little mouth can talk. Okay, hurry up and do my makeup. Don't make it too heavy, just make it lighter." Lu Wushuang curled her lips and smiled lightly, walked towards the dressing table and sat down.
She swept her eyebrows lightly and tapped her red lips. Under Xiaoqing's skillful hands, Lu Wushuang looked at the reflection in the mirror. It was a face that made men crazy and women jealous. It was so beautiful that even she
I couldn't help but be stunned.
"Miss Third, you are so beautiful. You will definitely be the most beautiful woman in the entire palace today." Xiao Qing praised sincerely.
"Since ancient times, beauties have had bad luck, and being too beautiful is not a good thing." Somehow, Lu Wushuang suddenly thought of his mother, that beautiful but unlucky woman, and there was a trace of sadness in her eyes, and she spoke with emotion.
"Prince Qi loves you so much, the third lady will definitely be happy." Xiaoqing comforted her.
"Good luck to you." Lu Wushuang smiled. As soon as she finished speaking, housekeeper Lu Zhong walked into Luoqi Courtyard.
"Miss Third, I want you to go to the flower hall to have breakfast."
"I know, I'll be there in a moment." Lu Wushuang replied. She and Lu Wanqing would both be entering the palace today, so Lu Xiuyuan must have explained something, so he specially sent the housekeeper to invite them.
Lu Wushuang sat in front of the dressing table, selected a white jade hairpin engraved with an orchid pattern and inserted it diagonally into her bun. She stood up and led Xiaoqing to the flower hall.
When Lu Wushuang stepped into the flower hall, Lu Xiuyuan, Liu Furong and Lu Wanqing had already arrived and were sitting at the table.
"Good morning, daddy." After crossing the high threshold, Lu Wushuang walked to Lu Xiuyuan, bowed and greeted politely.
"Well, sit down." Lu Xiuyuan glanced at Lu Wushuang. The white dress made of silver silk made her noble and elegant, like a snow lotus in the mountains. She was very beautiful. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he was proud to have such an outstanding daughter.
.
When Liu Furong and Lu Wanqing saw the incomparably beautiful Lu Wushuang, the strong jealousy in their eyes could not be concealed.
"The dress on Third Sister seems to be woven with silver thread and studded with pearls. It must have cost a lot of money." Women usually like beautiful clothes and jewelry. Lu Wanqing's almond-shaped eyes stared at Lu Wushuang's dress.
Clothes, there is nothing but jealousy in my eyes.
"The skirt was given by someone else, and I don't know the price." Lu Wushuang lowered his head, and his calm tone made the jealousy in Lu Wanqing's eyes even more intense.
"I wonder who gave Third Sister the dress? Third Sister, you couldn't have promised me any benefits, so they would be so generous." Lu Wanqing's words were thorny, and then she said sarcastically: "The last time Third Sister left home,
I have been away for several months, and I wonder if the Gonggongsha on my arm is still there?"
This statement was straightforward and made it clear that Lu Wushuang was already unclean. However, Lu Wanqing really got it right.
"I don't need you to worry about whether you are here or not." Lu Wushuang glanced at Lu Wanqing coldly, retorted, then turned to look at Lu Xiuyuan, "Dad, did you ask Uncle Zhong to invite us to come to the flower hall for dinner? Is there anything wrong?
Do you need to explain something?"
Lu Xiuyuan put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at Lu Wushuang and nodded and said: "Wu Shuang, today's palace banquet is obviously to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, but in fact it is to choose a concubine for Prince Qi. I believe that many of the legitimate daughters of the ministers who enter the palace will perform their talents.
Are you sure?" Lu Xiuyuan asked this question because he knew about the relationship between Lu Wushuang and Beitang Ye.
"Dad, don't worry about this. I don't plan to perform any talent tonight." What Lu Wushuang said was what she really thought. Because Beitangye had already received the imperial edict granting marriage, there was no need for her to have sex with those women.
Just like the animals in the zoo, performing for everyone to see. Moreover, she believes that what is yours is yours, not yours. Even if you fight for it with all your life, you may end up with nothing in the end.
"But……"
Lu Xiuyuan wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Lu Wushuang.
"Dad, I know what's going on, so you don't have to worry."
Hey! His daughter has grown up and doesn’t need him to worry too much.
Lu Xiuyuan sighed, lowered his head and continued eating.
The meal ended in a dull atmosphere. Lu Xiuyuan took Lu Wushuang and Lu Wanqing to the palace gate in a carriage.
The palace gate was extremely busy today, and it was full of carriages from various ministers' palaces. The carriages from the Prime Minister's Palace were also among them.
After getting off the carriage, Lu Xiuyuan took Lu Wushuang and Lu Wanqing, led by the eunuch, to Chengqing Palace where the birthday banquet was held.
The splendid Chengqing Palace is a palace specially used for holding palace banquets. It gives people the impression that it is large and spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
When Lu Xiuyuan and his daughter arrived at Chengqing Palace, more than a dozen ministers had already arrived with their daughters.
Under the leadership of the eunuch, Lu Wushuang and Lu Wanqing sat down in the back row of the second table from the left. The first row was where the ministers sat. Lu Xiuyuan was greeting and chatting with several colleagues.
Half an hour passed, and the invited ministers and their daughters arrived at the Chengqing Hall one after another to sit down, but none of the distinguished guests and protagonists had arrived yet.
Lu Wushuang, who was bored, felt his butt hurt from sitting. He stood up and moved his body. Just as he was about to walk out of the Chengqing Hall, he heard a loud song outside the hall.
"The Emperor has arrived, the Queen has arrived, the Queen Mother has arrived, and Prince Qi has arrived."
The hall, which was filled with laughter and laughter a moment ago, immediately became silent and solemn. Everyone knelt in front of the seats, lowered their heads slightly, and shouted respectfully.
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Queen, may the Empress live a thousand lives, may the Queen Mother be blessed with good fortune, and may she be blessed with long life. May the Prince of Qi be prosperous."
In order not to attract attention, Lu Wushuang also knelt down along with everyone, but her red lips were tightly closed and she did not sing loudly with everyone.
"Let's all be flat."
Beitang Lie walked side by side with the Queen. He waved his hand and asked everyone to get up.
As everyone stood up one after another, Lu Wushuang also stood up. He raised his head and looked curiously towards the gate of Chengqing Hall.
The empress walking in front, Bei Tanglie, was dressed in bright yellow, embroidered with nine golden dragons, and wore a twelve-pointed crown. His eyes were deep and his expression was light, giving people a feeling of power without anger.
The queen walking next to Bei Tanglie was wearing a complicated and luxurious phoenix robe. She was twenty-seven or eighty years old, and her eyebrows were delicate. Maybe it was because she had never given birth to a child. In addition, she was well-maintained, and her young face looked like she was only in her twenties.
She looked like she was in front of her. There was a faint smile on her face, which made her whole person a little gentle. She was not like a high-ranking queen at all. But if you look closely, you can see that there is a hint of sharpness hidden in her black pupils.
As for Queen Mother Chen, today is her birthday, so she is naturally smiling. Wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe, she walked into the Chengqing Hall with the support of Beitang Ye. Her sharp phoenix eyes swept towards the flowers in the hall.
The beautiful and young girls nodded with satisfaction, and the smiles on their lips became even brighter.
However, when her eyes glanced at Lu Wushuang, who was wearing a white dress, the smile on her face faded, a trace of disgust slipped through her eyes, and her brows furrowed slightly, but soon relaxed, and the smile continued to creep up.
face.
Sure enough, after staying in the palace of silence for a long time, I never forget to wear a mask anytime and anywhere, making it impossible for people to see through and guess the truest thoughts in my heart.
Beitang Ye wore a purple-gold dragon brocade robe today, and his black hair was tied up with a purple-gold crown. He supported the Queen Mother Chen all the way, but his beautiful dark jade-like eyes were busy searching for Lu Wushuang's figure in the Chengqing Hall.
When that noble and elegant figure as white as a lotus came into view, a hint of surprise flashed through her eyes, and the corners of her mouth that were originally expressionless curled up, revealing a bright smile.
He turned his eyes slightly and released an electric eye towards Lu Wushuang, but the other party rolled his eyes at him.
He chuckled helplessly, but his eyes were full of affection.
The exchange of glances between the two was captured by Empress Dowager Chen's eyes, her brows furrowed slightly in displeasure, and she felt even more disgusted with Lu Wushuang in her heart.
In the solemn Chengqing Hall, Beitang Lie and the Queen walked up to the high platform and sat down. Queen Mother Chen also sat down with the support of Beitang Ye. Beitang Ye himself went to the first table on the left at the bottom and sat down. This
Bei Tangye was very satisfied with the seat because it was relatively close to Lu Wushuang.
As soon as he sat down, Bei Tangye turned to Lu Wushuang and smiled evilly. Before he could say a few words, a cold look came over him. This look did not come from Queen Mother Chen, but from the queen beside Bei Tanglie.
