With the day coming to an end, the palace was brightly lit with decorated lanterns. Within the palace filled with guests, the atmosphere was very concentrated. What should have been a merry time now turned especially quiet.

Everyone’s attention was being attracted to one place.

This place was a three-sided beaded cotton screen. The screen was secluded, the three sides all showed a silhouette.

The silhouette was enchanting, as the gentle light swayed it unexpectedly matched the dancer’s movement.

The dancer’s movements were graceful, the light projected on the screen like a part of the cotton screen. The dancer fluttered, and the figure within the screen seemed to have jumped. It was vivid and lively.

Fu Yujun had merely pay attention to the cotton screen for the Emperor of the Mu Country, but seeing this passionate scene, his attention was completely sucked in.

Someone who was able to dance like this, he was really curious on this peerless talent.

He imaged that the person would have an exceptional appearance, an impressive figure, and a sweet, soft voice with a docile and clever temper.

Thinking this and that, Fu Yujun was full of expectation for the person behind the cotton screen.

The silhouette was sometimes graceful like an immortal beauty and other times, enchanting and charming.

The person behind the cotton screen would flip their sleeves from time to time, causing ripples, while other times swaying their waist, a pretty and flirtatious image appearing.

Under the light and shadow, they were unable to tell if the dancer was more graceful or enticing, they were also unable to imagine just how lovely the person behind this cotton screen was or how much they were like an immortal.

Surprise kept flashing through Fu Yujun’s eyes, and he suddenly understood why the Emperor did not look favorably upon his three beauties.

He already has a woman of unmatched beauty, anyone could tell who the better one was.

While thinking that, Fu Yujun saw the figure in the cotton screen do one last maneuver and then kneel on the ground, looking docile and clever.

The dance was already over.

Then, that person would now walk out from behind the cotton screen!

Seeing this, Fu Yujin couldn’t help but stand up, impatient to see the beauty leave the screen and eager to immediately witness the person’s peerless charm.

However, the beauty directly left the banquet after her salutations.

What was left to Fu Yujun was just a daydream of her figure.

“This…” Fu Yujun was full of doubt, according to Mu Country’s usual practice, after the woman displayed her skills, she would come out and pay her respects to the Emperor before leaving. So why did this beauty directly leave?

Was she not putting the Mu Country’s Emperor in her eyes? Could the Emperor of Mu Country bear this?

Fu Yujun couldn’t help but look at the seated high Emperor, only to see his general expression. His face was gentle, and satisfaction shone in his eyes, there wasn’t any scorn or anger.

Fu Yujun’s eyes flashed, a faint understanding in his heart. It looks like the departing of the beauty was approved by the Emperor, or that she was warned to. The Mu Country’s Emperor was unwilling to let this woman of unmatched beauty go out into the public and wanted to hide and support her himself…
