Kill the enemy and get a wife? I'll single-handedly slaughter my way through the Northern Barba

The bright and beautiful young woman was none other than the current emperor's ninth daughter and most beloved Princess Lin'an—Li Xiwei.

The one she called "Fifth Sister" was Li Hanxiang, the fifth daughter of the current emperor, who was granted the title of Princess Huaiqing.

Li Hanxiang was born with a unique fragrance, hence the name "Hanxiang" (meaning "fragrant").

These two sisters are famous throughout Beijing.

Aside from their royal status, which came with a silver spoon in their mouths, both women were stunningly beautiful and were hailed as the "Royal Beauties".

Princess Huaiqing, Li Hanxiang, was proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was also well-read and had unique insights into military strategy. She was known as a "female scholar" in the capital.

However, she was aloof and rarely interacted with outsiders.

In the capital, a princess might have only two or three close female friends. Such a noble and talented princess made many young men feel inferior and hesitant to approach her.

Princess Lin'an was skilled in dancing and gourmet food, and also had a fondness for strange and unusual objects such as alchemy and mechanical devices.

Compared to her exceptionally intelligent fifth sister, Princess Lin'an was nothing short of a "foolish beauty".

Of all the emperor's children, the one he loved most was Princess Li Xiwei of Lin'an.

Li Xiwei clung to Huaiqing's arm and said coquettishly, "Good sister, you have to help me shield myself from the old master's scolding."

"I've found you a really good poem called 'The Knight-Errant'."

Princess Huaiqing lightly tapped her nose, feigning reproach, and said, "Did you sneak out of the palace to play again?"

Caught off guard by her fifth sister's words, Li Xiwei couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "How can you say I was secretly playing? I... I clearly went to observe the people's conditions!"

Huaiqing looked at her helplessly: "Since you're supposed to be investigating the people's conditions, what have you actually discovered?"

Li Xiwei straightened her chest and cleared her throat: "Naturally, I've found something good for Fifth Sister, so listen carefully!"

"A Zhao knight wears a silk tassel on his hat, his Wu hook sword gleaming like frost and snow. His silver saddle shines on his white horse, swift as a shooting star!"

Oh?

Huaiqing initially thought she was joking, but unexpectedly, she actually had some good poems.

The first two sentences were refreshing to her.

"Kill one man in ten steps, leave no trace for a thousand miles. After the deed is done, dust off your clothes and leave, concealing your identity and name."

……

"Though he dies, his chivalrous spirit remains, worthy of the world's heroes. Who can truly emulate your esteemed reputation, your life dedicated to the profound mysteries of the universe?"

After finishing her recitation, Li Xiwei winked playfully: "Fifth Sister, how was it?"

Huaiqing was still immersed in the heroic spirit of "Ode to Gallantry," his expression one of deep contemplation.

"What beautiful poetry! What magnificent spirit!"

"Xiao Jiu, where did you hear this poem from?"

Huaiqing was a talented woman, proficient in poetry and prose, and could appreciate the chivalry and talent in this poem "The Knight-Errant".

Li Xiwei, with her hands behind her back, replied with a smile, "Naturally, I heard it from Chang Le Fang."

"Fifth Sister, wasn't the 'Magpie Bridge Fairy' you just sang also from Chang Le Fang?"

Huaiqing's beautiful eyes darted around, seemingly in disbelief: "Could 'The Knight Errant' also be the work of that person?"

Chang Le Fang in the capital was already a premier music hall.

In the past six months, two poems from Chang Le Fang have become popular in Beijing.

The two poems, "Shuidiao Getou" and "Queqiao Xian," propelled Chang Le Fang to new heights, surpassing other major music ensembles and stealing the limelight.

Huaiqing knew that both poems were discovered in secret by Liu Ruyan, the behind-the-scenes owner of Chang Le Fang, and were written by the same person.

Li Xiwei raised her fair and rosy face, smiling radiantly.

"Fifth Sister truly lives up to her title of 'female scholar,' she is incredibly insightful."

"The author of 'Ode to Gallantry' was none other than Lin Feng, the Cloud Cavalry Captain of Zhenyuan City in Youzhou."

It really is him...

Huaiqing couldn't help but look north and murmur, "I wonder what kind of person he is. He can fight on the battlefield and kill the 'Man-Eating General' Zheng Yan, and he can also compose such heroic poems."

Her eyes sparkled, filled with curiosity and a hint of barely perceptible admiration.

Based solely on this song, "The Knight Errant," she concluded that Raymond Lam must be an extraordinary man.

"What else could it be? He must have a full beard, a fierce appearance, and a body as strong as an ox, looking just like a black bear that has come to life!"

Li Xiwei described Lin Feng's appearance to herself.

"Aren't all soldiers like this? Tall and broad-shouldered. I heard that Raymond Lam won against the Northern Barbarian poet Zhamu with this poem, 'Ode to the Knight-Errant'."

"I gave her a nickname, 'Poetry Bear,' the 'bear' in 'bear'!"

A smile couldn't help but appear on Huaiqing's usually cool and aloof face.

Like a clear moon bathed in soft light, the detached feeling of being untouched by worldly affairs instantly faded a bit.

She gently pinched Li Xiwei's cheek: "You're talking nonsense again. Who in the poetry world uses 'Bear' as their pen name?"

"You just love giving people random nicknames, otherwise Mr. Wenlou wouldn't always be scolding you."

"Let's go to Wenlou. I'll help you deal with that old scholar."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiwei immediately beamed with joy: "Fifth Sister is still the best to me, unlike Second Brother, who's always so fierce."

"I really hope my second brother stays in Zhenyuan City, the longer the better."

Huaiqing and Li Xiwei walked hand in hand towards the outside of the Peony Pavilion.

She whispered to Li Xiwei, "It's fine to say these things to my face, but don't say them out loud outside. The situation outside is complicated right now, so don't do anything reckless!"

Li Xiwei nodded repeatedly: "Fifth Sister, don't worry, I know."

"Now, all the ministers in the court are vying to praise my second brother."

"Just these past few days, ministers have been submitting memorials to Father Emperor, hoping to promote my second brother to a higher position."

"I would never dare to speak ill of my second brother outside."

Princess Huaiqing wore a white jade belt with beads around her waist, which cinched her skirt and made her waist appear even more slender.

She asked Li Xiwei softly, "You...don't like Second Brother?"

Empress Daqian had four children: the eldest prince, the fourth prince, the fifth princess, and the ninth princess.

Li Xiwei was already closer to these three older siblings.

In front of Huaiqing, she spoke her mind without reservation: "My second brother is too domineering and always fierce towards me. He's nothing like my eldest brother, who is so gentle and kind."

Li Xiwei fiddled with the ends of her hair, her tone filled with dissatisfaction.

"My second brother also said that he wanted to marry me off to a playboy in the capital."

"That group of people has done countless evil deeds, ganged up on so many people, and ruined so many families. I have no intention of marrying them!"

Huaiqing's beautiful eyes darted around, and she teased, "How old are you? Already thinking about getting married?"

"Your sister asked you, what kind of person do you want to marry?"

Without hesitation, Li Xiwei replied, "Naturally, a fine young man from a distinguished family, skilled in both literature and martial arts, handsome and dashing, and devoted to me without ever wavering!"

Huaiqing chuckled and gently tapped her brow: "You, you want everything? There's no such thing as a perfect person."

"How about you marry General Lin, the author of 'Ode to Gallantry'?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiwei's eyes widened, and she shook her head vigorously: "No, no, Fifth Sister, Xiao Jiu will never marry 'Poetry Bear'!"

Huaiqing was amused by her appearance and covered his mouth to chuckle.

The two sisters chatted and laughed all the way as their figures gradually disappeared into the distance...

Youzhou, Zhenyuan City, night.

"Squeak—"

Lin Feng pushed open the door and tiptoed inside.

The room was dimly lit and filled with a faint scent of perfume, with only a lantern casting a dim light.

Lin Feng closed the door and entered the inner room, where he saw two beautiful women waiting behind the light gauze curtain.

Lin Feng returned from the near-death experience of Jiming City, and Song Yuwei and Su Wan'er were already weeping with joy.

He had just escaped death, and a couple of days ago, while he was being intimate with Song Yuwei, he secretly made a request.

He had been married to Song Yuwei and Su Wan'er for a long time, but they had never shared a bed together.

Life is too short to miss out on experiencing it all.

When Song Yuwei and Su Wan'er first heard this, they immediately and firmly refused, feeling both ashamed and angry, and scolded him for being "shameless".

Unable to resist Raymond Lam's persistent pleading, the two women finally reluctantly agreed to accompany him tonight to fulfill his wish of a "threesome".

Of course, only for one night, no more!

"My wife, I'm back!"

Lin Feng called out to the bed, and Song Yuwei softly replied, "Mmm."

Su Wan'er shifted her body slightly but remained silent, presumably because she was extremely embarrassed.

Parting the light veil, one could see Song Yuwei and Su Wan'er huddled under the covers, one on the left and the other on the right.

The two only showed their heads, and Song Yuwei even secretly glanced at him.

Lin Feng took off his outer clothes as he moved closer to the bed.

He reached under the covers and gently grasped the two women's slender, delicate feet.

"Why are you two ladies so quiet? Wan'er, are you asleep?"

As he spoke, Lin Feng mischievously tickled Su Wan'er's soles.

Su Wan'er said coquettishly, "Husband, you're naughty—"

Su Wan'er's sweet voice ignited a fire in Lin Feng's heart.

"Bad? My husband can be even worse!"

Lin Feng moved his large hand up and gently stroked the two women's smooth, rounded calves, causing Su Wan'er and Song Yuwei to shyly shrink back into the blankets...
