Chapter 502: Chapter 502: Marrying an Old Man (3)_1

"Cough!"

Emperor Jin Ming coughed once, throwing a reprimanding glance at Jin Guifei who seemingly blamed her for speaking out of turn. The imposing Emperor commanded respect without showing his anger, which instantly shut up for Jin Guifei.

"An Le, you and Prince Saknu will have a grand wedding on the fifteenth of this month. After your wedding, you will immediately accompany Saknu back to the Liaodan Kingdom and comfortably become a royal consort for him. As for the others, they ought to be out of your mind. You should know that marriage is a big deal, not just about the mutual affection of both parties, but also considering if the two of you are a match in social and economic status and whether both sides’ parents would approve. Otherwise, even if you two have mutual affections, it will be meaningless."

The emperor made his point clear, insisting that she and Nangong Yi do not make a fitting match, she is not worthy enough to marry into the royal family, and she should forget about Nangong Yi and dutifully be their puppet, marrying their daughter to the savage Liaodan for the marriage alliance.

Even though Cai Wei could not settle with her fate being dictated by others, she was helpless at this moment. She pressed her lips together and clearly said, "Thank you for your teaching, Your Majesty. An Le will keep it in mind. But, I’m afraid that Prince Saknu, knowing that my heart belongs to someone else, will bear a grudge and refuse to marry me."

The reason she spoke was to exploit men’s pride. Under normal circumstances, a man’s fiancée publicly acknowledging that she is already engaged to someone else would bring shame to the man, especially for someone like Saknu, who has such a prestigious identity. He certainly wouldn’t tolerate this, maybe even show anger on the spot and call off the wedding.

However, what no one expected was that Saknu didn’t care about it and even maliciously smiled and said, "What does it matter if you were privately engaged? As long as I, Saknu, like you, even if you are married to someone else, I will still take you away!"

Who would have thought that he would think like this!

Cai Wei was left speechless, like she had punched cotton; not only did she fail to make him consider calling off the wedding, she didn’t even manage to disgust him.

Empress Mo surely knew her thoughts, her cold gaze swept sideways at Cai Wei as if warning her. She then turned to Saknu and laughed, "Prince Saknu is indeed generous and broad-minded, not as preoccupied with minor details as other men. An Le is fortunate to be able to marry you. An Le, why don’t you show your thanks to the great prince?"

Saknu waved his hand indifferently, "An Le is already my woman, and she shouldn’t need to be polite to me. Instead, I would like to thank the emperor and the empress dowager. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have been able to marry An Le!"

Emperor Jin stroked his beard and laughed, "Great prince, you’re too polite, it’s a blessing to our citizens of Great Jin to be able to form a marriage alliance with Liaodan. It is the boon of every citizen in both our countries. It’s my duty to facilitate this union and bring eternal peace between the two nations."

Standing in front of the palace, Cai Wei listened as the two of them blatantly decided her fate. She bowed her head to hide her expression, lest others see her repressed rage. Nangong Yi went all the way to the battlefield to be with her, only to be met with deception from his father and conspiracy from his mother. His bloody battles turned into a meaningless joke. Her fate was determined by their light-hearted banter, and nobody consulted her, as if she was a non-living thing.

Saknu looked at Cai Wei’s repressed expression and seemed to see her anger. He maliciously chuckled, as if purposely provoking her, "I only regret that today is not the fifteenth. I really wish to marry her tonight!"
