As Handsome as a God

"The Emperor of Beiming and his state officials have arrived!" All of sudden, a loud annoucement was made by the eunuch outside the great hall.

The people in the great hall suddenly fell silent and stood up altogether. They turned around and looked outside, ready to welcome the emperor and his state officials.

Liu Rushuang watched the people of Beiming draw closer and couldn't help but squint. That silhouette looked really familiar.

She waited until she could clearly see the person who had entered, when all of sudden, Liu Rushuang's eyes shot wide open. Complete disbelief shrouded her face.

The Emperor of Beiming right in the front, wasn't that the person she met today at Drunken Cloud?

Naturally, Liu Rushuang wasn't the only one left stunned. The eyes of everyone in the hall widened, as they too were left in shock.

Was this really the Emperor of Beiming and tyrannical bloodthirsty devil from the rumours? 

All they saw was someone dressed in luxurious black clothing with embroidered lotus' and his black hair up in the topknot behind a jade crown. A few strands of black hair fell on both sides of his forehead and his facial features clearly looked deep like it was carefully engraved by the heavens. He had a pair of unfathomable eyes that were demonic yet charming. His lips were diamond-shaped, thin, perfect, and seemingly emotionless. He walked so casually that he completely exuded an air that subdued them all.

A tint of envy couldn't help but rise in their eyes., as quite a few chancellors watched female faces flush and reluctantly blink as they looked out towards the Emperor of Beiming.

Surely, the Emperor of Beiming was here to shock people!

Stood behind Liu Rushuang, Qing'Er rubbed her eyes as hard as she could when she spotted Han Moze and Han Moxi behind him. It was definitely those two people from the afternoon! She couldn't help but clutched onto Liu Rushuang's sleeve, considering that she had met these guys with her true identity.

Liu Rushuang turned her head back, flashed a smile, and shot Qing'Er a relaxed glance. 

Qing'Er relaxed her arm, and suddenly calmed down inside. It looked like the Young Miss wasn't the least bit worried of being recognised.

Liu Rushuang really wasn't worried of being recognised by the Emperor of Beiming. Even if she was recognised, the final decision to the political marriage was in the emperor's hands. As for whether or not she would even be able to carry out the political marriage in the end, she had a plan to escape unscathed.

"Welcome the Emperor of Beiming!" Just as the people of Beiming entered the great hall, everyone welcomed them with bows and curtsies.

"Everybody, please stand. No need to be overly courteous," The ice-cold magnetism in Han Moze's voice did not carry a trace of emotion. He exuded an emperor's grandeur, making quite a lot of people tremble.

As Han Moze said that, he led five state officials inside. When he walked past Liu Rushuang, who was dressed in white, he subconsciously looked over at her.

Liu Rushuang slightly raised her head and their eyes met.

Han Moze squinted in curiosity. It seemed like he met this woman before!

He carried his suspicions with him whilst taking a seat of the honorary seat on the right. 

Han Moxi sat beside him, and the other four state officials also sat down in succession. The personal guards stood behind.

After Han Moze was seated, he looked over at Liu Rushuang.

Liu Rushuang felt his gaze but ignored it, keeping her head hung low and her lips in a helpless smile. Who would have thought that she'd meet the man she escaped from earlier? Fate really was relentless!

Han Moze seemed to act oddly, as he stared transfixed upon Liu Rushuang.

Liu Ruxing became infatuated with Han Moze the moment she saw him. But then, she remembered that Liu Rushuang was betrothed to him and cried in anger. "That idiot really got lucky!"

Liu Ruyue was even more upset. The Emperor of Beiming was more handsome than the Fourth Prince by who knows how many times!

Ouyang Yaoyi couldn't help but sneak glances at Han Moze.

However, she noticed that Han Moze only looked at Liu Rushuang and didn't even glance at her.

Deep down inside, she was burning with rage. This political marriage was meant to be for her. She had to find a way to steal it back! Hmph!
