Han Moze’s smile was incredibly bright, as he turned to Ouyang Xiu.

“Emperor of Nanli, please give me your blessing for my marriage to Princess Changping,” he said with all seriousness.

Ouyang Yaoyi stared viciously at Liu Rushuang.

Nobody can steal what belonged to her!

Her eyes shifted slightly and wore a pleased smile which turned into a cold smirk. Then, in a loud voice, she cried, “Emperor of Beiming, I hear that Princess Changping is actually illiterate. May I ask, how can a woman like her be the empress of a nation?”

“Yeah! How can this person be an empress?”

“Well it looks like the Third Young Miss of the Liu family is more or less a fool!”

“I never imagined she was actually illiterate!”

…

Endless discussions broke out in the hall, against Li Rushuang becoming an empress.

In all this commotion, the hostile expression on Ouyang Xiu’s face also cleared up. “Emperor of Beiming, it looks like I cannot bless this marriage. Please choose another bride!” He said emotionlessly.

Liu Rushuang couldn’t help but look up at Han Moze. She was curious of how he would react.

Han Moze happened to turn his head and look over at her with a smile and determination written on his face.

As he turned to look at Ouyang Xiu, he spoke with a clear voice. “Emperor of Nanli, I decide whether Princess Changping will be the Empress of Beiming. If I say Princess Changping can, then she can.”

Those words instantly silenced the great hall. They could have heard a pin drop.

How could this Emperor of Beiming not follow the rules and regulations?

Liu Rushuang’s entire body tensed up, as she looked over at Han Moze.

Just why was he so adamant to be with her?

Ouyang Yaoyi tightened her fists. Deep down inside she was seriously pissed off, extremely upset and jealous!

What exactly did the Emperor of Beiming see in such an ordinary-looking and illiterate woman?

After Ouyang Xiu’s shock, his gaze turned dark.

Looks like the Emperor of Beiming was determined to marry that fool!

He gritted his teeth and spoke with a deep voice. “I wonder, Emperor of Beiming, why are you so adamant on marrying Princess Changping?”

“Because she’s beautiful,” cried Han Moze nonchalantly with a smile.

Everyone in the hall instantly started sweating. H… How was Princess Changping considered pretty?

Liu Rushuang shook her head and smiled helplessly. She really should have checked her horoscope before she stepped outside.

Han Moze suddenly twitched his lips, raised his feet and walked up to Liu Rushuang. “Princess Changping, please take the pill and revert back to your real face,” he whispered flatly.

Liu Rushuang’s eyes glowed eerily, as she stared at Han Moze and replied chillingly and quietly. “If the Emperor of Beiming wants to marry a beautiful woman, how easy would that be? Why must you not let me go?”

Han Moze scoffed and plainly replied, “Princess, you won’t forget what you promised me right? If you want to face the consequences, then the princess can decline.”

Liu Rushuang groaned inside. Let’s see who will win in the end!

She tightly clutched her hands. “Since this is how it’s going to be, then how about I write a rhyming couplet right now?” She offered in an emotionless voice.

Han Moze’s eyes lit up for a moment, as he smiled at the people in the great hall. “So Princess Changping is actually literate. Looks like some words cannot be trusted.”

With an even deeper voice, he ordered, “Give the Princess paper, ink, and a brush!”

People in the hall were left stunned once again. So, the Third Young Miss of the Liu family wasn’t actually illiterate.

Liu Ruyue and Liu Ruxing suddenly felt a chill all round them, which made their bodies shrink back.

They really thought that Liu Rushuang was illiterate so they spread the rumor around. So, they did nothing wrong!
