If I send you to join the army and marry a woman, will you conquer the Empress?

That evening.

A small poetry gathering was held at the lakeside pavilion in the Zheng family's back garden.

It was ostensibly a welcoming banquet for His Highness the Regent.

Qin Feng gladly accepted the invitation.

As soon as he entered the garden, he saw the woman sitting in the center of the pavilion, surrounded by admirers.

She wore a purple dress and exuded charm.

It was Zheng Wanyue.

【Sharp Eyes】Activated!

Name: Zheng Wanyue

[Identity: Eldest daughter of the Zheng family of Xingyang: Head of the "Listening Wind Pavilion"]

[Hidden Talents: Intelligence, Disguise, Ambition]

[Inner thoughts: Hmph, is this Qin Feng who scared Father half to death? He doesn't seem all that great. He's quite handsome, but I wonder if he's just a pretty face with no substance. Tonight, I'll test you out!]

Qin Feng withdrew his gaze, amusement creeping into his heart.

A silver-plated spearhead?

It seems necessary to show you the power of this king.

He walked calmly into the pavilion and sat down in an empty seat.

"Having met Miss Zheng today, I realize that the ancients' words, 'There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent,' are indeed true."

Qin Feng raised his wine glass, offered a toast from afar, and wore a warm smile on his face.

"Your Highness flatters me."

Zheng Wanyue covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her peach blossom eyes looking at Qin Feng with a seductive gaze.

"Compared to a great hero like Your Highness, who brought peace and stability to the country, what does my delicate and unassuming appearance amount to?"

"He is indeed gentle and refined. I have long heard that Your Highness is skilled in both literature and martial arts. Meeting you today, I can see that you have an extraordinary demeanor that is truly captivating."

The two exchanged words, engaging in a silent battle of wits and subtle confrontation.

All the other young masters from prominent families around him became mere background figures.

They watched Zheng Wanyue flirt with Qin Feng, her smile captivating, and their hearts broke.

But they dared not say anything.

After all, they didn't have the guts to steal a woman from the Regent.

After several rounds of drinks...

A charming blush rose on Zheng Wanyue's face, adding to her allure.

Holding her wine glass, she staggered towards Qin Feng, her body going limp as if she were about to fall.

Qin Feng reacted quickly, reaching out to pull her into his arms.

She was warm and soft, and he held her in his arms.

A faint, refreshing fragrance wafted into my nose.

"Oh dear, Your Highness, I'm sorry, Wanyue... is a little drunk."

Zheng Wanyue leaned against Qin Feng's chest, her breath sweet and her voice charming and alluring.

Her hand, seemingly unintentionally, rested on Qin Feng's chest, her fingertips gently tracing circles.

The provocative undertones were self-evident.

Qin Feng sneered inwardly.

Has the fox's tail finally been revealed?

He lowered his head, looking at the alluring face in his arms, and a wicked smile curved his lips.

"Since you're drunk, I'll escort you back to your room to rest."

After saying that, he actually picked Zheng Wanyue up in his arms in front of everyone!

"what!"

Zheng Wanyue gasped and instinctively wrapped her arms around Qin Feng's neck.

A flicker of panic crossed her face.

She only wanted to test Qin Feng, but she didn't expect this man to be so direct and domineering!

This is completely different from the script she had envisioned!

"Your Highness, where...where are you taking me?"

"Of course, I'll take you somewhere where it's just the two of us."

Qin Feng carried her and strode towards the backyard, leaving everyone with a dashing and domineering back view.

Everyone in the pavilion was petrified.

They looked at each other, both seeing the deep shock in each other's eyes.

He... he just took it away like that?

Your Highness the Regent is too fierce!

Zheng Yuanli was so anxious he almost jumped out of his seat!

He wanted to stop it, but he didn't dare.

She could only watch helplessly as her precious daughter was taken away by that "big devil".

He now only hoped that the wicked man would show mercy to the Zheng family out of consideration for Wanyue…

……

The night was quiet.

Inside the bedroom of Tingyuxuan, red candles flickered.

Qin Feng gently placed Zheng Wanyue on the soft bed.

Then, he sat leisurely on the chair by the bed, picked up a cup of tea, and looked at her with great interest.

There was no further action taken, nor did he utter a single word.

This left Zheng Wanyue somewhat at a loss.

She originally thought that Qin Feng would be like a hungry wolf, eager to devour her.

She had already rehearsed countless times in her mind how to feign reluctance, how to half-heartedly agree, and even how to propose her own conditions at crucial moments.

But now, what does he mean by this?

So you just brought yourself back and then just watched?

"Your Highness...why do you look at Wanyue like that?"

In the end, it was Zheng Wanyue who couldn't hold back any longer.

She lay on her side on the bed, propping her head up with her hand, striking what she considered the most alluring and charming pose, her peach blossom eyes gazing at Qin Feng with watery eyes.

"Could it be that there's something on Wanyue's face?"

"No."

Qin Feng shook his head, put down his teacup, and smiled.

"I was just thinking."

"Miss Zheng has gone to such lengths to use her beauty to seduce me."

"What exactly is the matter?"

boom!

A simple sentence, yet it struck Zheng Wanyue like a thunderclap from a clear sky!

Her face turned deathly pale in an instant!

The shyness and charm on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a deep, incredulous shock!

He... he actually saw through it?!

impossible!

His plan was flawless!

His acting was flawless!

How could he possibly know?!

"Your Highness... what are you saying? Wanyue... doesn't understand."

She forced down the turmoil in her heart, managed a smile that looked worse than crying, and tried to make a final stand.

"Can't understand?"

A mocking smile curled at the corners of Qin Feng's lips.

"Then I'll make it a little clearer for you."

He stood up and walked step by step to the bedside, looking down at her.

"From the moment the poetry gathering began, every glance, every movement, and every word you uttered was deliberately designed to seduce me."

"Do you think I can't see through it?"

"You pretended to be drunk and fell into my arms, just so I would bring you back so you could take the opportunity to negotiate with me, right?"

"Speak."

Qin Feng's eyes became sharp as knives, as if they could pierce through people's hearts.

"What exactly does the Zheng family want?"

"Do you want me to forgive your heinous crime of assassinating me?"

"Or do you still want to use your body to ensure the safety of 'Listening Wind Pavilion'?"
