Chapter 150: Dou Xi (1 / 2)
TN: I was not able to update chapters yesterday. I will update 8 to make up for it today. Hope you enjoy reading them as much as I do reading and translating and editing them.“It was me who refused.”
When Empress Dou uttered these words, her tone was calm and collected, while Princess Xiangyang fidgeted with her icy fingers, her nose stinging with a hint of sourness.
“Why…”
“Your father was sincere, I know,” Empress Dou smiled faintly. There wasn’t a trace of mockery in her expression. “But if I had agreed, it might have been fine for a day or two. Over time, our relationship as ruler and subject would have outweighed that of husband and wife.”
“Is being ruler and subject… not good?”
Empress Dou shook her head. “Your father is stubborn, headstrong, and domineering. He may not always submit to softness, but he certainly never yields to force. As his wife, he would respect and love you. But if he sees you as a subordinate, he will suppress you, never tolerating defiance.”
Princess Xiangyang bit her chopsticks lightly. While children were not supposed to judge their parents, in her heart, she was already waving a flag of agreement.
