049 Seeing the Empress Dowager for the First Time 2
The woman in front of her is wearing a light blue dress, as pure as the blue sky. Although she is wearing a veil, her smart eyes are clear and bright, and she does not seem to be someone who is playing tricks. This fact makes Queen Mother Chen extremely satisfied.
She doesn't like women who are too smart.
"Mother, her name is Wushuang. Didn't you say you wanted to listen to the piano two days ago, but I begged her for a long time before she agreed to come over to play the piano." Bei Tangye stood next to Queen Mother Chen and after introducing Lu Wushuang, he continued
Turning his gaze to Lu Wushuang, "Wushuang, this is my queen mother."
"I've met the Queen Mother." Lu Wushuang bowed respectfully, dignified and polite. She never expected that Bei Tangye would actually ask her to play the piano for his mother-in-law, the current Queen Mother. This may be a strange thing in the eyes of others.
It was such an honor, but Lu Wushuang felt strange in her heart. She felt like an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her mother-in-law. She didn't know why she suddenly had this strange idea.
"Get up." The voice was faint, but there was still a hint of arrogance. This may be the innate sense of superiority of the royal family.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." After thanking him politely, Lu Wushuang lowered his head again and stood in place politely.
"Ye'er, why do I remember that Prime Minister Lu seems to have a silly girl also named Wushuang?" I really don't know whether Empress Dowager Chen intentionally or unintentionally used this to humiliate Lu Wushuang, "I heard that she also made an appointment with Shangguan Qian's son Shangguan Haoyun.
Dear, it’s such a pity that Haoyun’s child, who looks so talented, actually got married to a stupid girl.”
After hearing what Empress Dowager Chen said, Bei Tangye really regretted bringing Lu Wushuang to see her. At this moment, through the veil, he could feel how gloomy and terrifying Lu Wushuang's face was behind the veil.
"What the mother said is different. Prime Minister Lu does have a daughter named Wushuang, and my son has also seen her. She is not stupid. Not only is she not stupid, she is also a smart and beautiful woman who has conquered the country." Bei Tangye quickly defended Lu Wushuang,
He still wanted to embrace the beauty, but he didn't want his mother to be prejudiced against Lu Wushuang, and he didn't want Lu Wushuang to feel disgusted with him because of what happened just now.
"Really? Are the rumors outside all false?" Queen Mother Chen frowned suspiciously.
"The rumors are not credible." Bei Tangye said.
"That's true." Queen Mother Chen nodded in agreement and turned her gaze from Bei Tangye's face to Lu Wushuang, "What songs can you play?"
"I wonder what kind of music the Queen Mother would like to hear?" Lu Wushuang asked without answering. If it weren't for her two hundred taels of silver wages, she would have left long ago.
"I have listened to many elegant sounds in the palace, and now I want to hear some bold and unrestrained tunes." Empress Dowager Chen's voice was calm, but still dignified.
"I know." A piece of music appeared in Lu Wushuang's mind. She glanced around and saw that the piano case had not been placed yet. She cast her doubtful eyes on Beitang Ye.
"Tie Yi, go get the 'Cai Feng Ming Qi' piano that belongs to me." After receiving Lu Wushuang's questioning eyes, Beitang Ye smiled apologetically and immediately ordered outside.
The breeze was blowing in the willows, and after a while, Tie Yi fetched Bei Tangye's qin. While Tie Yi was fetching the qin, the piano table in Zizhuyuan had been set up, and Beitang Ye also ordered someone to add it to the Empress Dowager Chen's side.
Take a chair and sit down.
Lu Wushuang sat down in front of the piano case and looked at the simple and elegant Luoxia-style guqin in front of her, with cracked ice lines, beautiful and unique.
She slid her bare hands across the surface of the piano, and the music sounded loud and clear.
