Chapter 451 Talent Show 2 (1)

Caiwei secretly glanced at the Queen for a few times, then lowered her eyes. The Queen was indeed stunningly beautiful, the most beautiful woman in the harem, no wonder she gave birth to such a handsome son like Nangong Yi.

However, her aura was very cold and arrogant, as if she was the only one in the world, and she did not have the affinity that a mother of a country should have.

Queen Mo held Luoxue's hand and stepped onto the steps leading to the Linshui Pavilion. The throne had been set up in the pavilion, and in front of the throne was a carved lacquer table. The eunuchs and palace maids were lined up behind the Queen, holding incense burners, embroidered handkerchiefs, gargle bowls, whisks and other things in their hands. Luoxue stood on the right side of Queen Mo, never leaving.

There were a few empty chairs on the left and right sides of the Queen's throne. Obviously, there were still people who had not come, but it was unknown who they were.

The seats of the young ladies were arranged according to the official rank of their families. The higher the status of the family, the closer the seat was to the Linshui Pavilion. Caiwei's table was far away from the Linshui Pavilion, so far that she could hardly see the people inside.

Helana's seat was arranged in the Linshui Pavilion. Although she sat at the end, she and Li Ruizhu were the only young ladies who could have a seat in the pavilion, except for the princess.

Today, the queen was obviously not in good spirits. She said a few polite words and ordered the banquet to start and served wine and food.

Everyone got up early to enter the palace. In order to avoid relieving themselves in the palace, they all came on an empty stomach. After playing for a whole morning, it was already past meal time. All the young men and women were so hungry that their chests were sticking to their backs. When they heard that the banquet was about to start, they all perked up and looked forward to it.

This palace banquet was very rich, with five imperial dishes: white braised fish lips, arhat prawns, roasted venison with deer tail, mountain delicacies, Acanthopanax senticosus, and eight-treasure rabbit cubes.

There were four kinds of steamed buns, one plate of steamed food, one plate of oven food, two snail boxes of side dishes, as well as emerald glutinous rice and mutton soup in a silver hot pot.

In addition, there were one small steamed bun with bamboo joints, one small steamed bun with elephant eyes, one small steamed bun with snails and bean curd, one square pastry with oil, one oil cake, one pea bun, one red cake with spoon, three kinds of oven-cooked buns, and ten kinds of rice, flour, oven-cooked and dairy products.

Caiwei didn't eat in the morning. She had fought with the guards for a long time, and she was half dead during her first period. She was already hungry.

With delicious food in front of her, she certainly wouldn't be polite. As soon as the order to start the meal came, she picked up her chopsticks and ate.

The ladies at the same table were still eating in small bites at first, acting like the daughters of wealthy families. But when they saw Caiwei eating so much, some of them couldn't hold back and started eating like Caiwei.

"Caiwei, here you go, this is delicious!"

Xiangyun, with food in her mouth and cheeks puffed, put a peeled prawn on Caiwei's plate.

"Thank you, sister Xiangyun!"

Caiwei picked it up and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Wow! It's so delicious!

Du Wanqiu looked at Mu Caiwei eating heartily, feeling angry, hateful and contemptuous.

This philistine woman, who was full of money, looked like she hadn't eaten for several lifetimes. She didn't sit or eat properly. She wasn't dignified or reserved at all. Except for her good looks, there was nothing good about her. But why did so many good men rush to her?

Oh! These men are so blind!

Caiwei was eating with little interest, when she suddenly felt a chill on her body, as if something had grabbed her. She subconsciously raised her head and saw from afar a man in Linshui Pavilion staring at her with a cold gaze.
