You were asked to impersonate the King of Qin, not to become emperor!

"Your Highness, about Bai Huanhuan..."

Chen Xuan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Judging from Huo Yinjuan's demeanor, she probably wouldn't target her.

What he needs to do now is to first use Huo Meijuan's admiration for him to keep her in check.

Then find an opportunity to win over Huo Yinjuan, proceeding step by step.

"The King of Qin is a man of such great talent, rarely seen in the world. It is a great honor for Meijuan to have met him today. She has no regrets in this life."

Huo Meijuan stared at Chen Xuan with a complex expression in her eyes.

In order to obtain information about America, Chen Xuan had dealt with many noblewomen there.

From Huo Meijuan's eyes, she knew that she was a talented woman, but her heart was full of bitterness.

It would be difficult for an ordinary man to find common ground with such a talented woman.

He smiled and, as if to set the stage, asked, "I've heard that Miss Huo is over thirty, possessing both beauty and literary talent. Why is she still unmarried?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Meijuan gave a wry smile and said, "Please, Your Highness, have a few drinks with me."

Chen Xuan nodded.

Upon arriving at the table, Huo Meijuan personally poured wine for Chen Xuan. "There are many men in the world, but how many are truly talented? Meijuan has always been self-centered and only wants to find a good man, but unfortunately, she has never met one, and thus remains unmarried."

"I see. Talented women throughout history have their own unique personalities. Why should they be bound by worldly rules? Living authentically is true freedom!" Chen Xuan said, following Huo Meijuan's thoughts.

As expected, Chen Xuan's words startled Huo Meijuan.

Whenever she encountered other talented men, they would usually advise her to follow the traditional virtues of obedience to father, mother, and son.

I have no idea what's going on in her heart.

Chen Xuan's words touched her deeply; this was the first time she had met a man who truly understood her.

"The King of Qin is different from other men in the world. No wonder the two talented women, Wang Qingyi and Zhen Mi, were willing to marry him. It is truly enviable," Huo Meijuan said.

Perhaps he was truly envious, for the more he talked, the more he poured himself a drink, as if the wine could soothe his loneliness.

"Miss Huo has a free and easy personality, which is a rare find among women of our generation of scholars! I have seen countless women, but you are the most unique one I have ever met."

Chen Xuan didn't waste any words, only saying what resonated with Huo Meijuan.

The effect was indeed very obvious, and Huo Meijuan nodded repeatedly.

After a few rounds of drinks, a blush appeared on Huo Meijuan's pretty face.

"Unfortunately, Meijuan only loved the King of Qin in her life, but the King of Qin was already married, while Meijuan is still alone."

Huo Meijuan was already seven-tenths drunk. At this moment, looking at Chen Xuan, she didn't care that he was the Prince of Qin, but told Chen Xuan her inner thoughts.

Before Chen Xuan could answer, Huo Meijuan suddenly hugged him tightly: "Your Majesty, Meijuan is still a virgin. I believe that no man in the world has ever had this honor, except Your Majesty..."

Chen Xuan felt conflicted in the face of Huo Meijuan's response.

Huo Meijuan is tall, much taller than the average woman, and has exquisite features; she is a stunning beauty.

Even if Chen Xuan had his own schemes, at this moment, Huo Meijuan revealed her true feelings and wanted to offer herself to him.

Chen Xuan felt that he should have a relationship with Huo Meijuan, both because of her looks and his political calculations towards her.

As the King of Qin, it was perfectly normal for him to have three wives and four concubines.

In the future, the world will belong to him, and all the women in the world will belong to him.

Therefore, getting Huo Meijuan was not excessive for him.

"Meijuan, you're drunk. Let me carry you back to your room to rest." Chen Xuan carried Huo Meijuan to her residence.

"Your Highness, I am not drunk, I am perfectly sober."

After saying that, she pressed her red lips against Chen Xuan's cheek.

The kiss was like dry wood meeting a raging fire, especially since Huo Meijuan was holding him tightly around the neck, her beautiful eyes fixed on him.

No man could withstand such a test!

"Meijuan, are you really willing? And won't you regret it?"

Huo Meijuan looked at Chen Xuan and shook her head.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xuan removed her white veil, revealing her snow-white skin and slender, green legs that directly assaulted his vision.

This woman was completely different from the women he had been with before; her eyes held a unique spirituality.

"Then be my woman, King Qin's woman..." Chen Xuan pounced on her.

In an instant, the book-scented pavilion gradually transformed from an atmosphere of scholarly refinement into one that made people blush.

Even as darkness fell, the two remained inseparable, entwined in each other's arms.

Looking at the plum blossom patterns on the bed, Huo Meijuan's hair fell loose, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face.

She looked like a fairy stepping out of a painting, and Chen Xuan couldn't help but rush over again.

At this moment, at Qinglian Residence.

Huo Yinjuan, dressed in a thin red gauze dress, sat in the center, her brows furrowed. "Has the King of Qin not come out yet? I asked him to exchange poems with Meijuan, why hasn't he come out yet?"

The reason Chen Xuan was invited here was to have him compete in poetry with his sister.

To fulfill her sister's wish and help her find someone with whom she truly connects.

The main purpose was to discuss the hunting tournament with Chen Xuan, hoping to use Bai Huanhuan as a bargaining chip to secure a favorable condition for the Prince of Jin.

The maid standing to the side blushed deeply, but she dared not say it directly. She could only look at Huo Yinjuan solemnly and say, "Your Highness, you should go and see for yourself."

"Um?"

Huo Yinjuan was slightly taken aback, vaguely sensing that something was wrong.

Although her younger sister was exceptionally talented in literature, she was naive and easily swayed by love. Furthermore, from what she had just witnessed, she had seen Huo Meijuan's admiration for Chen Xuan.

"I'll go check on the Book Pavilion; you all prepare the dinner."

After giving her instructions, Huo Yinjuan quickly walked towards the Book Pavilion.

However, as soon as she disembarked, she heard her sister's painful cries coming from inside the Book Pavilion, and her expression changed drastically.

"That bastard dared to bully my sister! I will never let him get away with this! I will definitely report Bai Huanhuan's matter to His Majesty, even if it means we both die!"

However, when she actually entered the Book Pavilion, she did not see Huo Meijuan in pain, but rather a face full of unprecedented satisfaction, with her actively hugging Chen Xuan's neck.

Huo Yinjuan initially thought her younger sister was being bullied, but who would have thought she would be so proactive?

The scene before her was so embarrassing she couldn't bear to look. Covering her face with her sleeve, she angrily said, "What are you doing? Is this how you exchange poems?"

"elder sister……"

Upon seeing Huo Yinjuan, Huo Meijuan's pretty face tensed up, and she quickly moved away from Chen Xuan, curling up in a ball.

"Chen Xuan, you bastard!"

This time, Huo Yinjuan directly omitted the title of King Qin and addressed Chen Xuan by his given name.

Huo Meijuan quickly retorted, "Sister, it has nothing to do with the King of Qin. It's not what you think. I genuinely admire the King of Qin, which is why this happened!"

Huo Yinjuan gritted her teeth in anger, glaring at Huo Meijuan with exasperation. "Do you even know this man is the Prince of Jin's enemy? How can you treat him like this? How am I supposed to face him?"

Seeing Huo Yinjuan's exasperation, Chen Xuan realized he had the upper hand. He said calmly, "Your Highness, this was Meijuan's own choice. Think about yourself, is it really worth it for you to do this for him?"
