Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress

Translator: Paperplane

Ouyang Xiu couldn’t help but also glance over at the women of Nanli.

He firstly spotted his own daughter, who was blushing like a delicate flower.

As an expert in romance, he naturally noticed that his beloved second and third daughters had fallen for the Emperor of Beiming.

To top it all off, ever since this emperor came to power, Beiming has gotten stronger by the day!

With that thought, he let out a candid laugh and happily said, “Emperor of Beiming, I previously chose my adopted daughter Princess Changping for you. However, this woman’s personality is rather unsophisticated. Meeting you today, I think she isn’t quite the match your bold spirit, so I’ve decided to reselect a bride amongst my daughters for you. How does that sound?”

A faint sneer formed in the corner of Han Moze’s mouth.

How could he possibly not notice that there was some kind of change in circumstances going on here?

Previously, the Emperor of Nanli couldn’t bear to betroth any of his daughters to him when he thought he was a tyrant, and so he used the state official’s daughter to stand-in for them.

Now that he saw his daughters were infatuated by him, he was prepared to give his daughters his blessing.

With that thought, Han Moze raised his head and laughed out loud. “If the Emperor of Nanli really is considerate, then how about I personally select my bride?”

Ouyang Xiu’s gaze darkened and his voice deepened. “I wonder, how would the Emperor of Beiming like to choose?”

Han Moze looked over at the young ladies again and squinted slightly. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

Then, he turned his head and made a compliment with his warm, magnetic and clear voice.

“The excellent natural resources of Nanli has truly nurtured each and every woman to look so full of life!”

With that, his eyes looked like he was in deep contemplation. “How about this? Give each young lady here a chance, so I can personally judge them. If the woman who I deem suitable also agrees to the marriage, then will the Emperor of Nanli bless our relationship?”

Though Ouyang Xiu’s eyes were cold, he wore a smile upon his lips.

He stared at both his daughters, who had a determined look on their faces to win, and he couldn’t help but feel relieved.

His daughters were of high status, beautiful and talented, so what was there to worry about?

With that thought, he laughed. “The Emperor of Beiming didn’t make a simple trip to come here, so let’s go by the emperor’s wishes.”

Han Moze wore a faint smile on his face, as he turned around and softly chuckled. “May all the princesses and unmarried daughters of the state officials, please step forward.”

Many young women in the prime of their youth heard this and couldn’t help but smile gracefully. Trying hard to put on their best form, they gazed at Han Moze.

Liu Ruxing couldn’t help but take a step forward first. She had just turned seventeen and she was the senior minister’s daughter. Naturally, she was qualified.

Ouyang Yaoyi looked at Liu Ruxing, who had stepped out, with evident dissatisfaction. She dared try to steal her thunder?

Then, she wore her sweetest smile and walked up to the first row with confidence that she would be the one chosen in the end.

The Second Princess, Ouyang Xiang, watched as Ouyang Yaoyi stepped forward and followed behind her.

...

The empress, who sat in the seat of honor, looked at her own daughter Ouyang Yaoyi with a satisfied smile.

The imperial concubine looked at her own daughter Ouyang Xiangmei with a charming smile. Her daughter Xiangmei looked a lot prettier than the Third Princess. If this Emperor of Beiming had a good eye, then he would definitely choose her daughter.

Han Moxi sat with a smile next to Han Moze. He was right after all. His royal brother had his pick of any noble woman of Nanli, but will he be able to choose one to his liking?
