Cai Wei laughed coldly and said, "If I don’t see myself as a princess, then what should I see myself as? A dog servant like you? Surely, the imperial decree of the Emperor to make me a princess can’t be fake?"
Zhao Yang snorted and derisively said, "You? A princess? You’re merely a substitute picked by my imperial mother for my marriage alliance. What kind of princess are you? Even if you luckily managed to marry Prince Saknu, he won’t truly love you, because the woman he wants to marry is me. You are nothing but a fraud who seduces men to rise to power!"
Although Zhao Yang kept insulting her, she did not use Saknu’s misdeeds like Helana did to attack her. Instead, her words carried a strong tone of jealousy, which greatly surprised Cai Wei!
Why would she react this way? Could it be, like Du Wanyue, she was also charmed by Saknu’s masculine appearance?
However, isn’t the girl’s taste a bit too strong? Has she not heard those terrible rumors about Saknu? Or does she believe she can change him? Alas, girls in love indeed have low intelligence!
Unfazed by her insults, Cai Wei laughed and said, "It looks like you’re quite dissatisfied that I’m impersonating you for this marriage, which works out since I don’t want to marry him either. Why don’t we switch, he did originally intend to court you after all!"
Zhao Yang’s feelings were unveiled and her face flushed, gritting her teeth, she said, "Mu Caiwei, stop playing innocent in front of me. If you have no feelings for Prince Saknu, why do you seduce him at every chance? You hooked him, and then pretend to be a virtuous and unsullied woman, feigning innocence and refusing to marry. God! My brother Yi was fooled by a despicable woman like you. He even foolishly went to such a dangerous place for you, and yet you are here seducing other men. You’re the lowest kind!"
Cai Wei then laughed ominously, "Princess, have you ever wondered why Saknu, who originally insisted on marrying you, suddenly changed his mind and wanted to marry me?"
Hearing Cai Wei bring up this matter ignited Zhao Yang’s jealousy. She had been upset about it these past few days!
Initially, Prince Saknu was determined to marry her and was close to not going back to his country without her in his hand. This greatly satisfied her vanity as a maiden and she was flattered and delighted for a long time. But out of nowhere, the situation turned into today’s scenario.
She was greatly unwilling to accept the result of being replaced, blaming her brother for meddling and ruining her marriage predestined by fate; blaming Saknu for being indecisive. If he insisted on marrying her, the emperor might agree for the sake of the state of the country!
But the person she hated the most was Cai Wei.
If it weren’t for her gaudily performing the ’Flying Sky Dance’ during the Shangsi Festival, how could Saknu have taken a liking to her? How could he abandon the real princess to court a fake one? Looking at it from all angles, wasn’t it Cai Wei who seduced Saknu with her seductive fox tricks?
All because she had reprimanded her at the Cai Yue Pavilion on that day. This wench took revenge in return. Not only did she provoke her brother Yi to fight with her in public, but she also seduced her heart’s desire. She made her lose face and soul for so long. This wicked wench is unforgivable, she decided to deal with her properly today!
Zhao Yang scoffed disdainfully, "Isn’t it just because you shamelessly seduced him, performing dances to please him, displaying such a lowly, cheap style that a princess like me wouldn’t even learn!"
Cai Wei then corrected ZhaoYang earnestly, "Saknu said the reason he chose me over you is because..."
