Chapter 33
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!”
…
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!
