Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress-Chapter 26: I Have Made a Decision

Translator: Paperplane

The Empress of Nanli glanced at her daughter Ouyang Yaoyi who was shooting her looks with eyes filled with affection.

She turned her gaze back and spoke with a gentle and tender voice. “I think that kind of lady is no match for the Emperor of Beiming. How about you reconsider? At least, choose a virtuous and beautiful lady.”

The Imperial Consort glanced at Ouyang Xiangmei and spoke with a soft voice. “Yes, your majesty, there are even prettier ladies of higher stature. Why choose someone who looks so ordinary? It’s better to make another selection.”

Han Moze’s words stunned all the state officials and made then feel uneasy in their seats. Now, one after the other, they were nodding their heads in support for the emperor, the empress, and the imperial concubine’s views.

Ouyang Yaoyi and Ouyang Xiangmi’s faces suddenly lit up.

They discreetly glanced at Han Moze, hoping that he’d change his decision.

Han Moxi squinted his eyes and checked Princess Changping up and down.

When he first laid eyes on her, he did feel like she looked familiar but didn’t think much of it.

Now that he heard Han Moze choose Princess Changping, he carefully checked her up and down a few times.

All of a sudden, he realised that something was wrong. Why did the maid behind her keep her head down so low?

He stretched his neck out and took two careful glances, when his doting eyes couldn’t help but widen.

Wasn’t she the maid who carried water with him in the afternoon?

Why was she here?

Then, he thought about Liu Rushuang’s voice and instantly came to the realisation!

So, his royal brother noticed that Princess Changping was the woman they saw in the afternoon!

Han Moxi helplessly shook his head. Her disguise fooled everyone!

His royal brother was ruthless and forceful as ever!

He would use force to get whatever he wanted!

This time, Princess Changping wouldn’t be able to escape!

Qing’Er heard Han Moze chose Liu Rushuang and couldn’t help but feel her heart seize up.

With the Young Miss’ personality, she definitely wouldn’t agree to marry a man with multiple wives. What was she going to do?

Han Moze held his deep and determined gaze in the face of all the opposing opinions around him. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

He smirked and spoke with a resounding voice. “Emperor of Nanli, I have made my decision. If you don’t believe in my taste, how about you let Princess Changping show her talents?”

Ouyang Xiu lowered his head and looked at Liu Rushuang who had a good figure. “Alright, I permit it,” he said with furrowed brows and a cold, hesitant voice.

He squinted his ice-cold eyes at Liu Rushuang and spoke with an eerie voice. “Princess Changping, I hope that you know your place, and-do-your-best.” Ouyang Xiu said the final four words through gritted teeth.

How could Liu Rushuang know the meaning behind Ouyang Xiu’s words?

He hoped that she would fail in front of everyone, and not steal the princesses’ thunder!

At best, he wanted Han Moze to give up on the idea of marrying her altogether.

However, she never let people control her!

Ouyang Yaoyi curved her mouth into a mocking, cold smirk. She wanted to see just how this fool was going to embarrass herself.

Liu Ruyue and Liu Ruxing glanced at Liu Rushuang in deteste, waiting for her to embarrass herself.

The state officials of Nanli heard that Liu Rushuang was illiterate, utterly stupid, and hadn’t earned Minister Liu’s favoritism, so they figured that the Princess Changping would be put on the spot to embarrass herself. Each and every one of them hardly hid the look of contempt on their faces.

Liu Rushuang heard movement from the great hall. They were not expecting her to do well at all.

She grinned with confidence. She never said that she couldn’t do anything.

As for the army generals of Beiming and the Minister of Rites, they sat quietly on the sidelines.

They believed in their Emperor Han Moze! f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

They stared at Liu Rushuang’s eyes only with impartiality. They didn’t look down on her at all.

However, deep down inside, they were curious as to why Han Moze would fall for such an ordinary looking lady...
