Lu Wushuang did not reach out to take the silver reward handed over by Mingyue. She raised her head, and her lacquer-like eyes met the slightly angry eyes of Empress Dowager Chen without fear. Anyway, the old woman opposite looked at her sideways and vertically, just to see if she was not good enough.
It's pleasant to the eye. This job of playing the piano in the palace is probably useless. Besides, I have been humiliated today. I have to get some compensation, otherwise it will be a big loss.
When Lu Wushuang asked for a reward of silver, Empress Dowager Chen's face turned as dark as Bao Gong, "Ye'er, what she said is true. You really promise her that as long as she is willing to come to the palace to play a song, you will reward her with two hundred taels of silver."
."
Empress Dowager Chen is the empress dowager of a country. Although she is not short of money, she is not someone who spends it carelessly. Two hundred taels of silver is what an ordinary family has spent in the past ten years.
"Yes, Queen Mother." A bitter smile escaped from the corner of Bei Tangye's lips. How could he dare to say otherwise. As long as he denied it and proved that what Lu Wushuang said was untrue, then she would have committed the death penalty of deceiving the Queen Mother.
"Ming Yue, go get another one hundred and ninety taels as a reward for this Wushuang girl." The son even admitted it, and Queen Mother Chen was embarrassed to refuse the payment.
Mingyue turned around and went into the house again, took out one hundred and ninety taels of silver, put them on the wooden tray together with the ten taels of silver that she had taken earlier, and handed them to Lu Wushuang.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for the reward." Lu Wushuang showed no mercy and happily accepted the reward. She followed Mingyue and walked out of Prince Qi's Mansion. Poor Beitang Ye was stared at by Empress Dowager Chen's sharp, arrow-like eyes.
My scalp feels numb.
"Ye'er, it's not what my mother told you. Lie'er is in the palace and has been worrying about the insufficient treasury all day long, but you spent two hundred taels of silver just to hire a prostitute..."
The long scolding was like Tang Sanzang reciting sutras, which made Beitang Ye almost fall asleep.
Finally, when Queen Mother Chen stopped talking, Bei Tangye picked up a cup and handed it to Queen Mother Chen diligently, "Mother, you have been reprimanding your son for so long just now. You should be thirsty. Drink some tea to moisten your mouth."
"You child, what can the Queen Mother say about you?" Empress Dowager Chen sighed, neither angry nor angry. In short, she felt helpless to deal with Beitang Ye.
"Mother, Wushuang, she is not an ordinary woman, nor is she good at playing the piano. You heard it just now. Even the music master in the palace would be ashamed if she played the piano music." Beitangye took Chen
The Queen Mother handed back the tea cup, but in her mind she was thinking about how to say good things for Lu Wushuang and change Queen Mother Chen's view of her. But he didn't understand that if a person is dissatisfied with another person, even if she is excellent and does everything,
No matter how good she is, the other party will still dislike her.
"My mother does not deny that Miss Wushuang's piano skills are indeed extraordinary. But if a woman relies on playing the piano to make a living, her family background will not be much better, so how can she be worthy of you?" After all, Queen Mother Chen still disliked it.
Lu Wushuang was from a humble background. How would she feel if she knew that Lu Wushuang was the stupid daughter of Prime Minister Lu whom she had humiliated before?
"Who said her family background is not good? Her status is no lower than that of the lady from the Prime Minister's Palace." Bei Tangye argued for Lu Wushuang.
"Oh, then which family is she from?" After hearing Beitang Ye's words, Queen Mother Chen's eyes lit up. She thought, Ye'er is not young anymore, it's time to find a pleasant person to take care of him.
"This will be kept secret for the time being." Bei Tangye gave it a try, "When the two girls really fall in love with me, then your son will tell the queen her true identity."
