"If you like it, I will give you this piano." Bei Tangye said with a smile on his face.
"Prince Qi is joking, how dare Wushuang accept such an expensive piano."
After Bei Tangye said the word "send", Lu Wushuang clearly saw the unhappy expression on Queen Mother Chen's face. She quickly declined, and the expression on Queen Mother Chen's face softened slightly.
"Let's begin." A voice that was neither happy nor angry came out of Queen Mother Chen's mouth.
Lu Wushuang nodded slightly. She saw her slender fingers move across the strings, gracefully and softly, like a stream of light dancing, but without losing the soul-stirring feeling, which made people feel so proud.
As the sound of the piano rises and falls, sometimes it is like the drizzle of love between lovers, lingering and pathos, sometimes it is as majestic as rolling waves, rushing away, sometimes it is sad and high, sometimes it is lingering and misty...
Beitang Ye and the Empress Dowager Chen, mother and son, listened intoxicated, as if they themselves had become a knight-errant in the turbulent rivers and lakes, holding a sword and fighting for the ends of the world, enjoying life.
The strings wind up and the song ends, leaving lingering sounds.
After a long time, Bei Tangye and Queen Mother Chen came to their senses from the song just now.
"You play so well. Shuang girls, what's the name of this piece?" Beitang Ye praised while clapping his hands.
"Prince Qi, thank you. If the prince hadn't ordered someone to fetch this fine piano, Wu Shuang wouldn't have been able to play a piece as good as "A Laugh from the Sea." Lu Wu Shuang said modestly. Such a literate way of speaking was really arousing.
Goosebumps. But there is no way. The person sitting opposite her is the current Empress Dowager. The etiquette must be strictly observed. Otherwise, if the other party is not happy, her head may move at any time.
"Miss Wushuang is right. If Ye'er hadn't generously taken out this colorful phoenix-ming qin given to you by the late emperor, how could you have been able to play such a good piece of music." Empress Dowager Chen just couldn't stand Beitang Ye.
When he looked at Lu Wushuang, he had a flattering look on his face.
"Ming Yue, go get ten taels of silver and give it to Miss Wushuang." Empress Dowager Chen was clearly offering a reward, but she was actually telling Lu Wushuang that she was just a piano player and should never dream of taking the position of Princess Qi.
"Mother, I will take care of the rewards given to the two girls by my son." Beitang Ye said dissatisfiedly from the side. He didn't understand the intention of Queen Mother Chen's move.
"Ye'er, my mother lives in your mansion, doesn't she even have the right to reward someone?"
Queen Mother Chen's face was stern and her eyes were as sharp as ever. Her question was so sharp that it forced Beitang Ye to compromise.
"Mother, what are you talking about? As the Queen Mother, you are not free to reward anyone you want."
At the right time, Mingyue took out the silver and hesitated whether to listen to the Queen Mother or Prince Qi.
"Ming Yue, why are you still standing there? You haven't given the silver reward to Wushuang girl before sending her out of the house." Zhizi Mo Ruomu, Beitang Ye's little move, a little look, Queen Mother Chen has already seen through his intentions.
Thoughts. When Beitangye just stood up, Queen Mother Chen had already spoken first and issued an order to expel the guests.
"Ye'er, my mother's shoulder has been hurting recently. Please help me squeeze it." Queen Mother Chen's next words successfully stopped Beitang Ye from walking toward Lu Wushuang.
Filial piety comes first. With no choice but to go behind Empress Dowager Chen, Bei Tangye squeezed her shoulders and acted like a filial son.
"Miss Wushuang, please come with me." Mingyue held ten taels of silver in her hand and handed it to Lu Wushuang. In front of Bei Tangye, her attitude was quite polite.
"The Queen Mother, Prince Qi has promised Wu Shuang that as long as Wu Shuang is willing to come to Prince Qi's residence to play a song, he will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver, no less."
