After a fierce 'struggle', Qin Feng finally had his way.
One two three four, two two three four, three two three four, one more time.
A moment later,
Holding Li Xiuning, who was limp and weak all over, Qin Feng sniffed his fingertips with satisfaction.
"So fragrant!"
"..."
Li Xiuning, lying in Qin Feng's arms with her breathing slightly rapid, weakly rolled her eyes.
"Lord, what exactly are you thinking?"
"What?"
"Lord Liu's proposal!"
Qin Feng, who was staring blankly, was glared at by Li Xiuning, who forced herself to sit up.
"Lord Liu wants you to marry Gongsun Zan's daughter, so that Gongsun Zan can rest assured and do his work."
"This..."
Qin Feng, coming back to his senses, touched his chin and asked hesitantly:
"Gongsun Zan looks so rough, his daughter probably isn't very good-looking either, right?"
"???"
Li Xiuning, who was already prepared psychologically, almost couldn't keep up with Qin Feng's erratic thinking.
Is marriage about looks?
It's about importance!
Going by what you're saying, if she was good-looking, would you have agreed?
Li Xiuning pinched Qin Feng angrily, and said with a sour tone:
"Lord, do you think Liu Qi would dare to bring this up if she wasn't good-looking?"
"I took a look for you!"
"Although she can't be called a stunning beauty, her appearance is no less than ours."
"Really?"
Even with Li Xiuning's repeated assurances, Qin Feng was still a little uneasy.
He simply couldn't imagine how good-looking Gongsun Zan's rough daughter could be.
Genes were genes!
It was like someone telling you that a gorilla's daughter was a delicate lady.
Would you believe it?
"Heh heh~!"
As if sensing Qin Feng's wariness, Li Xiuning couldn't help but chuckle.
"My Lord, please rest assured!"
"Although she, like Sister Yanqi, also prefers armor to makeup, her appearance is no less than ours."
The more Li Xiuning said, the more uneasy Qin Feng became.
Another one who prefers armor to makeup?
What on earth is going on!
Yang Yanqi alone was already enough trouble for him.
What if the two of them got together and wanted to go to the battlefield every day?
However,
All reasons for refusal disappeared the moment he saw the person.
"This, this..."
Looking at the woman with long hair cascading down, wearing a bright red palace dress, whom Li Xiuning had led in, Qin Feng abruptly stood up from his seat.
"Jia, Jia Qing?"
"What?"
Hearing the unfamiliar name from his lord, Li Xiuning was stunned for a moment, then introduced with a hint of amusement:
"My Lord, this is Lord Gongsun's daughter, Gongsun Baoyue."
"???"
"Gong, Gongsun Baoyue?"
Qin Feng, already somewhat astonished, was completely bewildered after hearing the introduction.
Who was Gongsun Baoyue?
If one were a traditional Three Kingdoms fan, they naturally wouldn't know.
Because Gongsun Zan had no daughter in history.
But if you had watched the new version of the Legend of Zhao Yun, you would know that this was a character created by the screenwriter and played by a certain celebrity.
But now?
A character who should have been fictional was appearing before him in person?
Then was this a historical world? Or was it the world of the Legend of Zhao Yun?
"Ding~!"
As Qin Feng asked a series of rapid questions, the long-silent system reappeared.
"Respected host, this world is merely an alternate dimension between fantasy and reality. Please do not assign it to any specific category."
"But, but..."
"No buts!"
Before Qin Feng could finish speaking, the system's voice sounded again.
"Even Yue Fei, who originally existed in the Southern Song Dynasty, has appeared. Is it strange for Gongsun Baoyue to appear?"
"This..."
Qin Feng, who had wanted to say more, was rendered speechless.
Yes!
Even characters who had already died or who existed in the future could appear, so what was the big deal about a fictional character appearing now?
Moreover,
If one were to be precise, it was uncertain whether Yang Yanqi, the eighth sister, was actually real.
Thinking of this,
Qin Feng gave up his intention to investigate further and turned his gaze to Jia, oh no, Gongsun Baoyue.
Indeed,
Although the actress who played her was no longer young.
Gongsun Baoyue, as the character being portrayed, looked undeniably youthful and invincible.
Her fair and delicate face was full of collagen.
Even the persona of preferring armor to makeup hadn't made her skin rough.
With such a charming person offering herself, wouldn't it be a shame not to take her home?
Therefore,
Under Li Xiuning's expectant gaze, Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction.
Of course!
Although he desperately wanted to drag her home, Qin Feng still asked the perfunctory question.
"Miss Baoyue, do you have any opinion on your maternal grandfather's proposal?"
"I..."
Gongsun Baoyue bit her lower lip gently, wanting to say something, but ultimately swallowed it back.
"I will obey the Lord's arrangements!"
"Heh heh..."
Looking at Gongsun Baoyue's reaction, Qin Feng couldn't help but chuckle.
However,
Although he noticed her subtle movements, Qin Feng pretended not to see them.
What a joke!
If it were a summoned character, he might be interested in cultivating a relationship.
But a person sent for a political marriage?
Don't be silly!
Regardless of whether you are willing or not, I'll have you first.
After all,
In this era where free love wasn't emphasized, being too unconventional wasn't good.
What?
Craving her body?
You're just stating the obvious!
I'm craving her body, so what? You going to bite me!
With countless thoughts flashing through his mind, Qin Feng's expression remained unchanged.
"In that case, prepare yourself. This prefect will take you into my residence on an auspicious day."
"Yes~!"
After respectfully agreeing, Gongsun Baoyue, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, withdrew.
She did need to go back and prepare.
She thought she could change her fate by picking up a sword, but it seemed she couldn't escape being sent for a marriage alliance.
Although Qin Feng was not old,
Compared to her sisters who were married off as concubines to men in their forties or fifties, she seemed to be considered lucky.
But Gongsun Baoyue was still unhappy.
Why?
She was no worse than those men, so why should she be their subordinate?
What if she ran away!
As long as she could run back to Liaodong and find her father, perhaps this marriage could be avoided.
Unfortunately,
Liu Qi, who had been by her side, seemed to have seen through Gongsun Baoyue's little thoughts, and said in a low voice:
"Baoyue, you have lived in Liaodong for a long time and may not understand the current situation in Youzhou."
"Although Prefect Qin is young, he commands over a hundred thousand troops!"
"More importantly, he values your father highly!"
"Not only did he hand over the three prefectures of Liaodong to him, but he also gave him thirty thousand troops."
"You tell me..."
"If you were your father, what would you do at this time?"
