Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Great Prince of Liaodan (3)_1

Saknu strode to the front of the Waterside Pavilion, clutched his left chest, and bowed to Empress Mo.

"Your Majesty, I apologize for my late arrival. I hope for your understanding."

Empress Mo’s smile was indifferent, "We are already very satisfied that the Great Prince could come, don’t trouble yourself over ceremony, please take your seat. There will be a wonderful performance later, I am certain the Great Prince will certainly enjoy it."

Saknu straightened up and looked boldly into the Waterside Pavilion, causing the concubines and their women to duck their heads and take cover.

This savage was too presumptuous, daring to openly gaze at the sky, and scrutinized all women in the pavilion unabashedly.

If it was anyone else, they would be dragged down and beaten to death, but unfortunately it was him, and Empress Mo had to bear with it and turned to Li Zequan, "Why don’t you seat the Great Prince?"

"Yes!"

Li Zequan understood the Empress’s meaning, quickly hunched over and rushed out of the Waterside Pavilion and stood in front of Saknu, smiling politely, "Great Prince, please——"

"Move away——"

Saknu rudely brushed aside Li Zequan who was in front of him, and asked boldly, "Empress Dowager, why didn’t Princess Zhao Yang come?"

Hearing her daughter’s name mentioned, Empress Mo immediately showed a stern face and said coldly, "Great Prince, you needn’t worry about Zhao Yang’s affairs. Today, every noble woman from our Great Jin Nation is present at this banquet. Great Prince, feel free to have a look, if someone catches your eye, merely inform me, I will surely make sure to fulfill the Great Prince’s wish and grant her the title of Princess An Le, marrying her to the Great Prince, in order to fulfill the Great Prince’s wish to marry a Princess."

Saknu sneered and said out loud, "You can’t compare a roasted lamb leg to a sparrow’s leg, this king has come to seek a legitimate bride."

While saying that, he suddenly stopped talking and stared in the direction beyond the Waterside Pavilion.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but then they all followed his gaze towards the outside of the Pavilion.

Not far away, Cai Wei, who already changed into her dance costume, was elegantly approaching in the company of two palace maids.

She was wearing a water pink thin chiffon long dress. The long dress was exceedingly long, perfectly framing her slender waist and straight, slim jade-colored legs. The skirt hem reached her feet, accentuated by a ring of delicate rhinestones. When she moved, the enormous skirt fluttered in the wind giving a dreamy feel, like a fairy walking in the sea waves, incredibly beautiful.

Entering the Pavilion, her jade-like countenance captivated everyone’s attention.

Her pair of clear, enchanting eyes sparkled, her small and straight nose was just perfect, her rosy lips were as captivating as a newly bloomed rose. Her porcelain white skin and arched eyebrows like willow leaves added a sense of purity to her allure. They all stared at her, intoxicated and spellbound.

Before Cai Wei even stepped into the Waterside Pavilion, she unfortunately caught sight of Saknu. Seeing him gawking at her in a stupor, she couldn’t help but feel depressed.

Blast it, why did she run into him again? Surely she forgot to read the almanac before leaving the house. Thankfully this was the Empress’s court banquet, or he might have made some outrageous move.

Thinking of this, she felt much more at ease. Upon entering the Waterside Pavilion, she bowed to Empress Mo.

"Your Majesty, I have changed into the costume."

"Rise!"

Empress Mo glanced at Cai Wei, inexplicable astonishment flitted across her heart. Indeed, this woman’s beauty was beyond comparison. No wonder Yi’er was so smitten. This kind of seductive and charming woman was a real femme fatale. Leaving her by Yi’er’s side would surely bring him trouble. She must find a way to remove her as soon as possible.

But how could she remove Cai Wei without provoking Yi’er’s resentment?

While pondering, Princess Helana entered the room.

She wore a bright red foreign dress intricately embroidered with a beautiful pattern. She wore matching red lambskin boots and many small bells on her waist and wrists that tinkled delightfully as she walked.

The red attire was evidently eye-catching, enough to grab everyone’s attention. Unfortunately, with the presence of the exceptionally beautiful Cai Wei, who was dressed in such dazzling attire, Helana was instantly overshadowed.

Helana’s face instantly darkened with anger at the sight of Cai Wei’s outfit.

Indeed she had underestimated her, thinking what good clothes could a merchant’s daughter possibly have. Who could have imagined she would prepare this stunning outfit that left everyone in awe? This wardrobe and her exquisite makeup instantaneously crushed her prideful appearance in bright red into insignificance.

Helana’s face was gloomy, looking extremely unsightly. Her hatred for Cai Wei had already intensified to its peak.

"Hehe, truly a pair of charming beauties that everyone adores!" Jin Guifei commented with a laugh.

Empress Mo’s eyes moved from Cai Wei to Helana dressed in bright red and nodded, "Let’s begin!"
