Picked Up a Beast, Turns Out He's an Emperor (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 25
Lotus Garden of the Summer Palace.
“Hehehe.”
“Kakakaka.”
“Karlreul.”
The carefree laughter of young noblewomen, all aged between eighteen and twenty-four, echoed throughout the garden.
Their cheerful giggles showed no sign of stopping—what could possibly be so amusing? Eleven empress candidates were enjoying lunch at a table carved from paulownia wood.
A short distance from their table, the maids serving the noblewomen huddled together, chattering amongst themselves. In truth, however, they remained alert, busily observing every move the candidates made.
“The first three—I’ve never seen their faces before… Is it really true that Lady Arabella was brought all the way from the Kingdom of Akurel?”

“Then I suppose she really did come from Akurel. But hasn’t Akurel had strained relations with the Empire for ages? I thought immigration by Imperial nobles was strictly forbidden…”
“So when exactly did they start serving Lady Arabella? To accompany her all the way to the Imperial Palace, they must’ve been with her since birth—just like us, right?”
“Then… are they from Akurel? But judging by their appearance and speech, they’re clearly from the Empire…”

Vera lifted the corners of her mouth with practiced ease and said,

Cold Male Lead Became My Clingy Husband (Female-Dominant)
Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.
Until she met the male protagonist from the book, Wei Jing Mo, and he took a liking to her!
Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”

Is she not concerned because the emperor told her she wasn’t going to become the empress regardless? He explicitly stated she only needed to break his curse & that she wouldn’t become the empress as she wasn’t qualified (I don’t recall his precise wording).
The Emperor’s shamelessness continues to astonish me. Just how long can he get away with this?
