Feng Guang's eyelids twitched; he knew something was wrong.

Sure enough, the Empress said with a smile, "The one sitting below the main seat is General Xie Zhan."

"Thank you, General." The princess picked up her wine cup and walked over. She offered a cup of wine, "During these years of war between our two countries, our generals have never been able to defeat you. I deeply admire you. Now that our two countries have become friends, would you like to have a drink with me?"

"Your Highness is too kind. It's just a cup of wine; how could I refuse?" Xie Zhan smiled and raised his own wine cup.

The two finished their drinks, and the princess said heartily, "That was refreshing!" She then looked at His Majesty and said, "Today I have brought a dance from my hometown to add to the festivities of this banquet. May I ask if I may use this space to perform a dance?"

His Majesty said, "If the princess wishes to dance, then please have the musicians play a tune."

The people of Xiqiu are a free-spirited nation, and their music is naturally extremely unrestrained. So this dance... is even less likely to be as gentle and affectionate as a young lady from the capital.

Though not gentle, she was still charming.

The princess changed into a dance outfit. Although it contained a lot of fabric, it was still considered very little in ancient times. The princess's graceful figure alone was enough to make any virile man drool, even without removing her veil. But as she danced, she inexplicably ended up on General Xie, which was enough to leave everyone bewildered!

No one would have expected that the ball would end up with Xie Zhan. Yet the princess's generous demeanor made it seem as if getting close to him was just part of her dance. If it were inappropriate, it would seem like she was the one who was inappropriate.

Then, another group of men stared at Xie Zhan, who still wore a smile, with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

The princess suddenly frowned. Just as she was about to push herself even harder, a hand pushed her away. Then, another petite figure in red sat on Xie Zhan's lap. She snorted heavily and said like a jealous little girl, "My third uncle has never even held me. Why should you hold me?"

The one who suddenly disrupted the scene was Feng Guang. She realized that the princess was deliberately rubbing against Xie Zhan to arouse his masculine reaction. The princess was a demanding one, and Xie Zhan was a normal man. If Xie Zhan actually got an erection in front of so many people, he would definitely lose face and become a laughing stock.

This princess is truly cunning. Xie Zhan has suppressed their country for so many years, preventing the Xi Chiefdom from gaining an inch of land. On the contrary, they have lost a lot of territory. As the princess of the Xi Chiefdom, how could she not want revenge?

Feng Guang was merely trying to cover up Xie Zhan's embarrassment as a man. However, when she sensitively noticed that the man, who had been perfectly normal, had an indescribable reaction the moment she sat down, she mechanically looked up and saw his ever-present smiling face.

Feng Guang sensed something was terribly wrong; she wanted to jump off his lap again, but it was too late.

Xie Zhan calmly held her waist and apologized to the princess, who was pushed aside and looked embarrassed, saying, "I'm really sorry, my niece is a child and doesn't know any manners. She offended the princess, and I apologize to the princess on her behalf."

Feng Guang slowly lowered her head and bit her handkerchief. What did this man mean?! Why could he act so nonchalantly?! Was the thing pressing against her buttocks fake?!
