When the princess gets married, the general must not flee

Chapter 255: The Witch’s Disaster

"Xin'er likes watching singing and dancing?"

When Lebrun saw that Bai Xin actually smiled, he couldn't help but feel excited. Finally, there was something that could attract Bai Xin's attention.

He remembered that day at the Dome Palace Banquet, when she saw Nan Shiya performing the Butterfly Dance, her face was full of smiles, and she must have liked it.

Bai Xin withdrew his gaze from Xi Yao and just glanced at Le Brun, neither saying that he liked her nor that he disliked her.

"If the queen likes it, it will be Xiyao's honor. Xiyao will definitely work harder!"

Seeing this, Xi Yao tactfully bowed in front of Bai Xin and assured him in a gentle and affectionate tone.

Seeing Bai Xin looking at Xiyao happily, Lebrun turned around and took a serious look at Xiyao.

Xi Yao felt the look in Le Brun's eyes and was excited, but she remained calm, with a smile on her lips, as if the spring breeze was blowing on her face and the warm sun was shining, making her feel pity for him.

"Yaoyao, your dance is for the emperor to see, how can you show it to others!"

Seeing how foolish she was, the Queen Mother couldn't help but step forward to remind her.

"Aunt, as long as the queen is happy, the emperor cousin will naturally be happy, and that will be worth it!"

Xi Yao looked at the Queen Mother and said with great understanding.

The Queen Mother was helpless, but seeing that her son did look at Xi Yao straight in the eye, she said nothing more.

Before the palace banquet began, Bai Xin sat in front of the dressing table and let Cai Yi help her dress up.

Nan Shiya stood behind, looking at Bai Xin's gorgeous beauty after she put on makeup, she couldn't help but grit her teeth in hatred. She could even assassinate the emperor and still be loved as if nothing had happened. She looked at Bai Xin in anger and said sarcastically.

"Your Majesty is so charming today, His Majesty will surely be completely fascinated by you!"

Bai Xin looked at her through the mirror in front of her, with a smile on his face.

"You don't have to serve at the palace banquet. Just serve in the room!"

Bai Xin saw that her attire today was comparable to that of the concubines in the palace, and it seemed that she wanted to show off at the palace banquet. However, she did not intend to do as she wished.

"Wu Yuexin, you! You are clearly jealous of me!"

Nan Shiya was so angry that she called him by his name.

Bai Xin just smiled faintly and ignored her. She was helped up by Cai Yi and surrounded by several other maids, and took a sedan chair to the palace banquet.

Arriving at the main hall of the palace banquet, Bai Xin saw the scale, decoration, and delicacies of the Xichang Palace Banquet, which were even better than those in the Dome. He couldn't help but marvel in his heart, thinking it was truly luxurious.

When everyone saw Bai Xin coming, they couldn't help but look at her curiously, and then they all knelt down and saluted her with their own ulterior motives.

Most of them were angry at her, a princess from a foreign country, who had deceived her own monarch into getting stabbed but the monarch was not punished but protected instead.

That night, the family army was even more powerful. In order to save her, they attacked their city with hand-to-hand combat and refused to retreat.

Everyone agreed that she was definitely a witch.

Bai Xin, expressionless, was supported by Cai Yi as she walked slowly through the kneeling crowd. Although she walked slowly due to her physical condition, she looked more dignified and graceful.

Le Brun, who was wearing a bright yellow banquet dress, was sitting in the main hall. Seeing Bai Xin walking towards him with light steps, his heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but walk up to her, took Bai Xin's hand, and led her towards his seat as if no one was around.

Just as he was supporting Bai Xin and putting his arm around her and was about to sit down, the prince, who looked like an old minister, did not wait for Le Brun to ask them to stand up, but stood up on his own, walked to the main hall, bowed, looked at Le Brun and spoke loudly.

"I, your humble servant, hereby advise you to die. This woman is a monster. She assassinated the emperor and caused harm to his precious body. She deserves to die!"

"The Ye family army is now besieging our border city, burning and killing all the citizens and soldiers, and not accepting any prisoners. Now we have lost another city. The only way for this witch to go is to tie her up and take her to the border to scare off the Ye family army!"

"Be bold!"

When Lebrun heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold and he looked at the old minister and scolded him.

"I have my own opinion on who to keep and who not to keep!"

"Your Majesty, if this woman stays here, she will be a disaster. She will definitely bring our Dome to an irreparable state, Your Majesty!"

The old minister spoke with tears in his eyes, and Lebrun frowned as he listened.

Bai Xin didn't show any expression, but suddenly she grabbed her clothes around her heart with her hand, her face turned pale, and she was about to fall into Le Brun's arms.

"Xin'er, your heart hurts again?"

When Le Brun saw Bai Xin staggering, he was startled and took her into his arms, then looked at the old minister and spoke sternly.

"Shut up! How dare you spoil my mood at today's palace banquet? Come, drag him out and give him twenty lashes!"

"Your Majesty, think twice. Old Qi is a veteran of three dynasties. He is just worried about your majesty. Forget your majesty's mercy. Old Qi can't bear so many beatings!"

A younger official quickly crawled out on his knees and begged for mercy from Le Brun.

Lebrun glared at Bai Xin, who was about to fall in his arms, and shouted angrily: "If my words don't work, then you will be punished as well!"

"Somebody come!"

Le Brun gave another stern order, and the guards outside the hall hurried in and dragged the man away.

"Your Majesty, she is a witch. Keeping her will bring disaster to the dome. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Although Mr. Qi was dragged out, he still refused to give up, and his loud shouts echoed around the palace and did not fade away for a long time.

Le Brun was busy helping Bai Xin sit down and told everyone to stand up.

When the palace banquet began, everyone had some thoughts in their minds, but they were also afraid of getting into trouble, so after standing up, they quickly immersed themselves in the lively atmosphere of the palace banquet with toasts and clinking glasses.

There were sounds of music and clinking of glasses at the palace banquet, but Le Brun was very happy and drank with other ministers. Although Bai Xin was not in the mood, he often refilled his glass, which made Le Brun very happy.

A melodious music came from the back of the hall. Xi Yao, who was dressed as a fairy, led six women who also looked like fairies. They came from the back of the hall to the dance music and danced gracefully in the center of the hall. Their slender hands fluttered like flowers and their figures were graceful, as if fairies from heaven had descended to the earth.

"Is this Miss Xiyao leading Liuli to dress up as the Seven Fairies to entertain His Majesty?"

"Liuli's dancing is truly unique in the world!"

"Liu Sheng's dance music is something that only exists in heaven. This is the first time we hear it on earth!"

Everyone enjoyed the singing and dancing of Xi Yao and Liu Sheng Liu Li with great gusto, and sighs were heard from time to time.

"Xin'er likes watching their singing and dancing?"

Although Le Brun was drunk, he could still catch the changes on Bai Xin's face. She watched Xi Yao's dance with shining eyes and a smile on her lips.

Bai Xin withdrew her gaze and did not respond to him. She just picked up the wine jug and filled his empty glass with wine.

"If Xin'er likes it, how about I let them stay in your palace and dance just for you?"

Le Brun took the wine that Bai Xin had poured with satisfaction, drank it all in one gulp, and looked at her and asked in a flattering manner.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Bai Xin opened her red lips slightly, responded with a smile, and filled his glass again.

Le Brun accepted all the wine and raised his glass to drink it all. With drunken eyes, he stared at Bai Xin in front of him. He reached out and touched her face. He couldn't help but want to lean over and kiss her.
