The Deepest Affection in Qin's Time

Of course, if Cao Yuan hadn't sabotaged things here, he would have had other options.

But Cao Yuan is here, and he will only make things worse by trying to explain. In Cao Yuan's words, he is too clever for his own good.

Seeing that things had gone far enough, Cao Yuan couldn't bear to continue tormenting Han Fei.

"Didn't Your Highness want me to compose a poem? I still don't know what kind of poem Your Highness wants me to compose?"

Honglian pouted, glared at Han Fei, and stopped torturing him.

She said to Cao Yuan with a cheerful tone, "Just write whatever you like, as long as it's not worse than 'Snow Maiden Song'."

It's no worse than the Snow Maiden Song... Cao Yuan's eye twitched slightly.

Fortunately, he had received nine years of compulsory education, possessed the ability to remember everything he saw, and had the backing of literary giants from the past two thousand years.

otherwise……

Han Fei harbored deep resentment towards Cao Yuan, so naturally he couldn't just stand by and watch Cao Yuan seduce his sister.

"I think it would be better to compose a poem based on your wonderful painting today, little sister. What do you think?"

Han Fei laughed, his gaze fixed intently on Cao Yuan, "I suppose this is a piece of cake for Brother Cao, isn't it?"

Honglian's big eyes darted around slightly, and she laughed in a clear, bell-like voice, "Okay, okay, I was just wondering what to write on the painting."

Cao Yuan glared at Han Fei slightly.

He's really my brother-in-law.

Are you trying to sabotage each other?

You'll regret it someday!

Honglian led Cao Yuan and Han Fei to the stone pavilion.

On the stone table were scattered plain white silk and various colored pigments.

"Here it is."

Honglian pointed to an unfinished painting.

On the white silk, a phoenix is ​​about to take flight, painted with vermilion, azurite and other colors, the colors are bright and beautiful.

Cao Yuan was somewhat surprised, not expecting Honglian's painting skills to be so high.

It's as if the legendary phoenix has truly been imprinted on the silk, like a flame, lifelike and vivid.

"How is it? Isn't it beautiful?" Honglian said proudly, "This is the best painting I've ever done."

"Very beautiful, just as beautiful as Her Highness the Princess..."

Cao Yuan flattered Honglian without changing his expression.

Han Fei almost vomited when he saw Cao Yuan's nonchalant expression.

He had never seen such a shameless person!

"Brother Cao, do you have any poems to compose in response?"

Han Fei quickly interrupted Cao Yuan's increasingly cheesy words because he saw his younger sister being coaxed by Cao Yuan to the point of almost bursting into laughter!

If this continues, won't my own sister be kidnapped by that traitor Cao?

Honglian suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, you said my paintings are so good, so you must write even better!"

Han Fei smiled sinisterly and said, "Yes, Brother Cao, it must be better than this painting, and it must also be better than 'Snow Maiden Song'."

He had heard the Snow Maiden Song; it was an absolute masterpiece. Even the most romantic poet would find it difficult to write a poem that was no less excellent in a short period of time.

Besides, Cao Yuan is just a guy who only knows how to flirt with women!

Cao Yuan coughed lightly and said seriously, "Your Highness, please bring me a pen."

Honglian handed the calligraphy brush to Cao Yuan with a smile.

Han Fei thought to himself, "Good heavens, she treats my sister like this, she really doesn't respect me, her brother-in-law."

He was just waiting for Cao Yuan to make a fool of himself. If Cao Yuan's writing was not good, or not as good as "Snow Maiden Song", he would definitely use the name of his righteous brother-in-law to launch a heavy attack on Cao Yuan and let Cao Yuan know what was going on!

"Phoenix, oh phoenix..."

As Cao Yuan sang softly, a thought struck him: among the powerful figures he trusted, there seemed to be one who had written poems about phoenixes.

So Cao Yuan took up his brush and slowly began to paint beside the phoenix painting.

There was a beautiful woman, whom I could never forget.

I miss him terribly if I don't see him for a day.

The phoenix soars high, seeking its mate across the four seas.

Alas, the beauty is not here on the east wall.

Let me use the zither to express my feelings.

When will I see Xu Xi again, to soothe my wandering heart?

I wish to be worthy of your virtue, and walk hand in hand with you.

Unable to fly, I am doomed.

Cao Yuan finished writing the poem in one go and titled it "The Phoenix Seeks Its Mate".

This is as clear as day.

Cao Yuan looked at his neat and well-formed Korean characters and smiled with satisfaction.

Through persistent practice, he can now write in the languages ​​of the seven kingdoms. Although he is not as good as the masters, he writes them quite well.

"There is a beautiful woman, whom I have seen and will never forget..."

Honglian stared at the words on the painting, seemingly mesmerized, muttering to herself, unable to tear herself away.

Han Fei's mind went blank on the spot.

With his extensive literary knowledge, he understood the profound meaning contained within after just one reading.

He was careless!

He underestimated Cao Cao's talent!

He could hardly believe his eyes. Could Cao Cao really write such a beautiful poem that rivals "Snow Maiden Song"?

But Han Fei was immediately enraged, so enraged that he almost suffered a plasmolysis and his nose nearly twisted out of shape.

That scoundrel Cao is inhuman!

She actually flirted with his own sister right in front of him! And even confessed her feelings to his sister!

They completely disregarded their brother-in-law!

Cao Yuan had been keeping an eye on his brother-in-law's movements.

After seeing his brother-in-law Han Fei's reaction, he smiled slightly, which Han Fei found particularly irritating.

Han Fei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan when he saw that his younger sister was still engrossed in the poems written by Cao Yuan.

No, I can't let my little sister fall into this fire pit!

Han Fei made up his mind.

Didn't Cao Yuan have a crush on Zi Nu from Zi Lan Xuan? He even described her as having a face that could shame the moon and flowers—what a jerk!

Han Fei muttered to himself, then began to ponder how to bring Cao Yuan and Zi Nu together, so that his little sister would give up any inappropriate thoughts.

Thinking of this, Han Fei felt an immense pang of heartache.

Because he also had a slight crush on Zi Nu.

But for his sister's sake and for his own ideals, he decided to try to bring Cao Yuan and Zi Nu together.

"This is so well written..."

After speaking to herself, Honglian raised her head and looked at Cao Yuan with her soft, bright eyes, feeling more and more moved the more she looked at him.

Since ancient times, beautiful women have loved heroes, and ladies have loved talented men.

Honglian was at the age of blossoming youth, and she could not resist Cao Yuan's heartfelt confession.

She inadvertently recalled the scene of her first meeting with Cao Yuan yesterday; he was polite, honest, and trustworthy.

There is a beautiful woman, whom I cannot forget once I have seen her. If I do not see her for a day, I am driven mad with longing... Who is this describing?

Even though only a day has passed, I can't forget her, I miss her terribly...

Honglian was overwhelmed with emotion, her expression deeply moved, and she was so excited that she didn't know where to put her hands.

She longed to be alone with Cao Yuan, to confide in him, to understand this man, and to see how he would pursue her.

"Cough, cough..."

Han Fei coughed twice, spoiling the mood and startling Honglian, who was still lost in her fantasies.

Honglian glared at Han Fei angrily, but after regaining her senses, she subconsciously glanced at Cao Yuan, who was smiling at her, and her pretty face flushed red.

It was so embarrassing and shameful for her.

So annoying!

It's all my fault for having such an unreliable older brother!

"Well, it's almost noon, we'll be going now, little sister."

Honglian wanted to stop her brother from undermining her, but when she saw Cao Yuan, she suddenly felt lost and nervous, wanting to stop him but not daring to.

"I... I'll see you off."

Honglian was lost in thought, not even knowing what nonsense she was spouting.

Han Fei took a light breath, wanting to refuse, but fearing that his younger sister and Cao Yuan might cause trouble, he had no choice but to acquiesce.

Cao Yuan simply watched the siblings' performance with a smile, without saying a word.

Having reaped a bountiful harvest today, he understood the principle of moderation and refrained from further drastic measures against Honglian.

If Han Fei couldn't take it anymore and drew his Reverse Scale Sword to fight him to the death, that would be too...

Honglian saw Cao Yuan off from the Honglian Palace and continued to see him off. Compared to her previous chatter and carefree manner, she remained silent the whole way, seemingly not in high spirits. She would occasionally steal a glance at Cao Yuan, her little mouth moving as if she wanted to say something.
