Ouyang Yaoyi smiled joyously and said, “Father, I’m willing to perform.”
“Alright. Yi’Er you shall perform next.”
Ouyang Yaoyi had already changed into another outfit during Ouyang Xiangmei’s performance. It was a red robe which tightly wrapped around her breasts and waist. The cutting of her dress accentuated her figure and her fine hair was wrapped loosely into a bun with a red flower. She looked completely charming from her very bones.
Ouyang Yaoyi glanced at the other ladies in annoyance.
Then, she walked out with a gentle and graceful look on her face, and arched her body.
In an instant, she drew the attention of everyone in the great hall.
Liu Rushuang heard the sound of a man gulping, and couldn’t help but look up at Han Moze.
She wanted to know what kind of reaction such an egotistical tyrant would have to such a captivating woman.
Who knew that just when she turned her head, she would immediately meet Han Moze’s gaze.
All of a sudden, she turned away uncomfortably like she had become increasingly bored to look at.
For a moment, Han Moze’s gaze lit up, as he finally waited for the beautiful woman to look back at him again.
However, when he saw Liu Rushuang’s face had turned cold, his mood worsened.
As for Ouyang Yaoyi in the center of the hall, he didn’t even bother to look at her.
The Empress looked at her own daughter and affectionately said, “Yi’Er, dance your favourite routine and that’ll be just fine.”
Ouyang Yaoyi knew that her favourite dance was also the one she was best at.
“Yes, mother,” she said with her lowered gaze and sweet voice.
With that said, Ouyang Yaoyi moved gracefully with the beat of the guqin.
She swayed her delicate waist and limbs slowly, lightly, and graciously as if she had no bones.
As she danced, she placed the long sleeves upon her chest and casted flirtatious glances at Han Moze.
…
After the song ended, everyone clapped and cheered that the performance was good.
The Empress beamed with joy.
She turned her head, then elegantly and kindly asked Han Moze, “What did the Emperor of Beiming think of the performance?”
Han Moze looked back again and noticed Ouyang Yaoyi’s exposed breasts in her red outfit, then furrowed his brows in disgust.
Thereafter, he turned to look at the Empress and spoke with a clear but dull voice. “Satisfactory.”
The Empress squinted slightly and replied with a chilling voice. “And what does your majesty find unsatisfactory about this performance?”
Yeah! What was wrong with it?
Many state officials in the great hall stared at Han Moze with interrogative glares.
Han Moze raised his brows and checked out Ouyang Yaoyi’s tightly bound breasts and her skinny frame. Then, he exclaimed, “Her figure is satisfactory,” in a dull voice,
The Empress looked at her daughter’s skinny figure and small breasts from being a picky eater.
“So the Emperor of Beiming likes women with ample features,” she said in a flat and deep voice.
“But of course!” Replied Han Moze as he tapped his fingers upon the table.
Ouyang Xiu glared at Han Moze with a colder, more sullen gaze. “Who’s next to perform?” He asked eerily.
Ouyang Yaoyi stared at her own humble breasts with rage in her eyes.
It’s all the chefs’ faults. The food they bring out were so disgusting, she couldn’t eat it which was why she became so skinny.
When she gets back, she’ll definitely punish them severely and kick them out.
With that, she headed back to her seat in anger.
The Emperor, empress, and imperial concubines at the seat of honor no longer looked in good spirits but seemed quite moody.
…
Following this, seven to eight other ladies performed. However, Han Moze only ended up either left comments like, they were ‘alright’, ‘satisfactory’, or ‘not bad’.
The expressions on the people of Nanli had become unsightly.
The Emperor of Beiming must hate Nanli talent!
No matter how perfect the performance was, he would always find something to pick on. If he was so great, then he should have gone up and performed!
Han Moze felt the hostile gazes all around him but he didn’t care in the slightest.
Instead, his eyes were transfixed upon Liu Rushuang. He hoped that Liu Rushuang would glance back at him again.
However, Liu Rushuang never willingly looked at him!
