Beauty Portraits: I Build a Harem in Another World

Page 51

But the problem is, if an emperor is only concerned with sowing seeds in the harem every day, how can you expect him to properly handle state affairs?

Can such an emperor be considered a good emperor?

No need to even think about it...

Chapter 133: Being an emperor and playing with women are not mutually exclusive.

However, there are always exceptions!

Because Xia Lin's current son is Qin Feng, a guy who cannot be predicted by common sense.

Of course, I'm not talking about the unlucky Third Prince Qin Feng from before, but the 'unlucky' Qin Feng who accidentally transmigrated here. In particular, he was bound to a scoundrel artifact called the Beauty Picture. So now Qin Feng can not only summon countless goddess souls trapped in the Beauty Picture, but more importantly, he also has to rescue and release these goddess souls.

How to rescue them?

Of course, this is exactly what he's doing now: creating connections between those goddesses and real people, and then using real women as host bodies...

Then again?

If Qin Feng was somewhat confused at the beginning, thinking that these goddesses were about to descend and possess people, he was quite worried about the girls around him, fearing that they would completely lose themselves because of it.

But now Qin Feng understands very clearly that the "host body" the goddesses spoke of is actually a container, a container that allows them to truly become human!

Simply put, every girl who signs a contract with Qin Feng will eventually get pregnant and give birth to a daughter for him...

Just like that little girl Yu Wanlin, she's bound to give birth to a daughter named Chang'e in the future!

Like Bai Zhiwei, whose daughter is named Athena...

Do you all understand now?

That's right, this is the super bug devised by the goddesses trapped in the Beauty Scroll. Qin Feng has no way or power to directly control the Beauty Scroll and release them, so they simply took another approach. They used the portrait function of the Beauty Scroll to connect with reality, and then modified women in reality to make them the best vessels for their own reproduction. Ultimately, they used their wombs to truly reincarnate!

In other words, Qin Feng will have many, many daughters in the future...

Moreover, each of these daughters is a goddess, not only incredibly strong but also possessing a variety of powerful abilities!

You're talking about governing a country? Everyone knows Wu Zetian, right? Cleopatra is familiar, isn't she? Then there's Empress Lü Zhi, the wife of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Empress Dowager Xuan of Qin, and even Empress Dowager Cixi of Qing Dynasty, and so on. These are just the real historical figures, not to mention the various films and animations, like Mi Yue in "The Legend of Mi Yue," and various anime...

If you're talking about those skilled in handling domestic affairs, there are even more. In the Three Kingdoms period alone, there was Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying, Sima Yi's wife Zhang Chunhua, and then there were Xin Xianying, Cai Yan, Zhen Ji, and so on. They were all masters among masters. If we extend this to other dynasties, there are even more. If we also include those in anime and manga, I would say there are too many to count.

Similarly, there are various female generals who are skilled in battle, and goddesses who are proficient in all sorts of other abilities, and then they will all be reincarnated as Qin Feng's daughters...

So why does Qin Feng insist on doing everything himself?

Most importantly, because he is the host of the divine artifact, the Beauty Scroll, the two are now deeply bound together. These goddesses who have become his daughters are unable to leave Qin Feng for the time being because their marks are still in the Beauty Scroll.

So for Qin Feng in the future, if there's anything to do, he'll just leave it to the goddess; if there's nothing to do, he'll just mess around with the goddess...

How carefree this life is! And you can develop national strength and your family at the same time.

But the most crucial point is that with so many top talents and such a large base of powerful individuals, how could Qin Feng not make the Great Qin Empire thrive?

The longer the time goes on, the stronger Qin Feng will become, and the people around him will also become stronger. At that time, why would he need to bother with any expeditions?

I refuse to believe that when Qin Feng takes hundreds of goddesses whose strength far exceeds the twelfth rank to the Western Continent, the Holy Light Church can still exist peacefully...

Hundreds of experts with strength exceeding the twelfth level visited?

Don't be ridiculous! Even if only ten of them went, the Holy See of Light wouldn't be able to handle it!

The problem is, where are you going to find hundreds of level 12 experts? Do you think level 12 is as common as cabbages on the street? Besides, no human has ever broken through to level 12, not even your great-grandfather Cowen could, let alone you want to find two hundred...

But when faced with Xia Lin's question, Qin Feng just smiled and remained silent, "Mom, you're almost at the twelfth level, how come you still have no self-awareness at all!"

"!!"

"Besides, I'm already at level 12..."

"..."

"And our game has only just begun..."

"..."

Hearing her son say this, Xia Lin was overwhelmed with emotion. Since waking up, it seemed that she had fallen completely behind the times in many ways...

Putting everything else aside, the fact that Qin Feng can summon the goddess's soul is enough for Xia Lin to ponder for a while!

Unfortunately, she still had a lot to do, and even though it was already late at night, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures!

Later, Xia Lin took Qin Feng to the front hall of the palace to meet with General Bai, Prime Minister Xu Zibo, and other important officials of the court. The conversation focused not only on the funeral arrangements for the old emperor Qin Ziming, but also on the selection of the new emperor. These old officials naturally insisted that they were on the side of the third prince and fully supported his ascension to the throne as the new emperor.

With the support of these powerful ministers, and with Xia Lin having already persuaded the eldest prince Qin Yu to withdraw from the competition, the outcome was essentially decided. It was only then that everyone could finally go back to rest.

Back at Maple Forest Garden, the Fifth Princess Qin Ling had already woken up, but was still crying while hugging her second sister Qin Lan. After all, today's events had indeed been quite tragic for her...

When she first rushed back, the Fifth Princess Qin Ling only knew that the old emperor had passed away. Although the old emperor was high and mighty, he was still her father, so Qin Ling was truly heartbroken. But she never expected to hear such terrible news upon her return: the one who killed her father was actually her brother, the Fourth Prince Qin Yuan!

So Qin Yuan eventually died as well.

Then Qin Ling learned that her brother Qin Yuan was not the old emperor's biological son...

Do you know how serious this crime is?

Therefore, Consort Wang was also imprisoned because of this incident. The key point is that, feeling disheartened, she quickly confessed everything under the Ministry of Justice's methods. Only then did everyone realize that not only Qin Yuan, but even the Fifth Princess Qin Ling was not actually the old emperor's child, because she and Qin Yuan were actually siblings!

This……

After learning the whole truth, Qin Ling's world collapsed!

Fortunately, she was currently at Maple Forest Garden, and with the Second Princess Qin Lan by her side; otherwise, the Ministry of Justice might have come to arrest her!

But there's really no need to worry too much about that, because when Qin Feng returns later and learns what happened, he resolves Qin Ling's trouble with just one sentence... "She already signed a master-servant contract with me, she's mine now, how dare you take her?"

Of course, the people from the Ministry of Justice wouldn't dare; they're not stupid!

So quickly, after a series of actions by the Ministry of Justice, Qin Ling was not only completely extricated from this matter, but also retained her status as the Fifth Princess.

But actually, the second princess Qin Lan was also quite sad. She was overjoyed when she saw her mother Xia Lin, who had been resurrected. However, after hearing about her mother's story, especially her various competitions with the eldest prince Qin Yu over the years, Xia Lin affectionately flicked her nose and said, "Silly girl, you're a girl and you want to be the emperor? You're dreaming too much!"

Okay, even if Qin Lan had already given up her dream of becoming an emperor, her mother's words still deeply hurt her. Does everyone really not believe in me?

Then I'll just have to become an empress and show you all!

Otherwise, why can Haruko Yoda become empress and everyone supports her, but I can't?

Anyway, everything will be up to my third brother in the future. When he becomes more powerful, he can easily conquer a country next door and then grant her the territory. Wouldn't she then be an empress?

So when Qin Feng returned, Qin Lan immediately came to greet him, and then began to massage his shoulders and back with great care, "Third brother, you've been busy all day, you must be tired! Come on, let's go take a bath together to relax!"

"..."

Chapter 134: Caught Red-Handed by Mom While Stealing Food

To be honest, during their time in the Inazuma Empire, taking a bath with Qin Feng had become a habit for all the women...

After all, Haruko Yoda was a queen, and her palace even had a special high-end hot spring area. So, Qin Feng, who brought a group of girls to stay there, naturally spent his time soaking in the hot springs whenever he had the chance. When he was in the mood, he even took Haruko Yoda, Kaori Yoda, Kaori, Kaori, Bai Zhiwei, Hu Bingjing, and Hu Bingxin to have a hot spring party.

Later, even Qin Lan and Qin Ling joined in.

As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black," and... habits become second nature!

So, when they returned to the Great Qin Dynasty, to the Imperial Palace, and entered Maple Forest Garden to see Qin Feng's private luxury bath, which was no less luxurious than the hot springs of Yoda Haruko and the others, Qin Lan and the others naturally wanted to take a bath together to relieve the fatigue of their days of traveling.

Qin Lan and the others were well aware that due to the sudden death of the old emperor, Qin Feng would face immense pressure upon returning to the capital. Therefore, they hoped to share some of the burden with him and also wanted to ask him…

You should be the one to inherit the throne next, right?

Actually, this wasn't really a problem anymore, but each of them wanted a definite answer from Qin Feng!

This is why not only are Qin Lan and Qin Ling still lingering in Maple Forest Garden, but Bai Zhiwei, Hu Bingjing, and the Hu Bingxin sisters also show no intention of leaving. Princess Yoda Kaori goes without saying; she is the most anxious one, because Qin Feng's next move will directly affect her and Inazuma's future!

If Qin Feng could succeed as the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, everyone would be overjoyed. Kaori Yoda and Haruko Yoda's ideas could be implemented, and the Inazuma Empire could truly regain its vitality...

But if Qin Feng fails, the Inazuma Empire will likely face significant changes!

Therefore, Princess Kaori Yoda took the initiative this time. After entering the bath, she not only diligently massaged Qin Feng's body, but also later rode on top of Qin Feng, who was lying in the bath, and then, with her large sword between her legs, she twisted her waist and danced gracefully...

Just as Kaori Yoda was riding along, blushing and exchanging glances with Bai Zhiwei and the others, suddenly the maids outside exclaimed in surprise!

"Her Majesty the Empress has arrived!! Her Majesty... Her Majesty!! His Highness is taking a bath..." (The rest of the text appears to be a series of unrelated phrases and fragments, possibly from different sources.)

"..."

Because they were used to being at ease, Qin Feng and the others were completely unprepared for what they were doing at Fenglin Garden. Besides, there was no door to the large bathroom, so no one expected that Empress Xia Lin would stride in so directly. Although she was followed by a large group of palace maids, no one dared to stop her!

As a result, when Charlene entered, the people inside had absolutely no time to react!

Not only were the Second Princess Qin Lan and the Fifth Princess Qin Ling completely dumbfounded, but Bai Zhiwei, Yoda Kaori, and the other women were also extremely embarrassed, because they never expected the Empress to suddenly appear here. Most importantly, they were completely naked while bathing with Qin Feng!

Princess Kaori Yoda was riding on Qin Feng in an indecent position, and Qin Feng's greatsword was deeply stuck in her garden. Do we need to explain what the two of them were doing?

Even when Charlene came in, the lingering sound in Kaori Yoda's mouth hadn't completely faded away...

Upon seeing this, the scene fell silent. Everyone was too stunned to move, including Qin Feng, who was also dumbfounded. "Mom, what are you trying to do? I was taking a shower!!"

"What can I do?" Xia Lin shrugged with a roguish look. "When I returned to Yulin Palace, I found that everything there had become very unfamiliar. In particular, none of the maids who used to be by my side are left. I don't even have anyone to talk to. Besides, I'm afraid that old man like you will come back to haunt me. So I simply came to find you and thought I'd spend the night here with you!"

"That's not right, Mom. You're a necromancer, why would you be afraid of a zombie coming back to life?"

"Why shouldn't I be afraid? I'm a woman too, okay? I'm also a vulnerable woman who needs protection..."

"Uh..." Qin Feng was speechless. If his mother, whose strength now exceeds the eleventh level, is still considered a weak woman, how are others supposed to live?

"Oh, Lan'er's here too!" Xia Lin looked at the people in the bath and immediately smiled with delight. "It's even better that you siblings are all here. I'll soak in the tub with you. I've been so tired since I came back from the brink of death, my body is practically falling apart!"

"..."

Charlene wasn't just talking; she actually took off her clothes with the help of the maids behind her, then walked directly into the bath. Looking at the group of dumbfounded people, she said, "What's going on? It's just taking a bath together, what's all this fuss about?"

Okay, really, there's nothing to be surprised about!

It just goes to show that like mother, like son!

After Queen Charlene entered the bath, she immediately sat down next to Qin Feng and gently poked Princess Kaori Yoda's body, saying, "Princess Kaori's skin is so good, so smooth, I'm so envious!"

"Mother...Empress!" Kaori Yoda was almost in tears, but she had no choice but to greet her. Since she was now Qin Feng's concubine, it was normal for her to call him "Empress." The problem was that she was still with Qin Feng, and his great sword was still deeply embedded in her body!

"Hey! Just because you called me 'Mother,' I'll protect Princess Xiangzhi in Qin from now on. If anyone dares to bully you, I'll stand up for you!!" Xia Lin patted her chest with a hearty expression, revealing her ample bosom. "But aren't you tired of standing like that?"

"Hey, Mom..." Qin Lan was also a little helpless. With you sitting so close, it's not easy for me to separate from Kaori even if I want to!

"Alright, alright, Feng'er, don't look so gloomy. Do you think I don't know what you two are doing?" Xia Lin waved her hand dismissively. "It's okay, you two continue... just pretend I'm not here!"

What doesn't exist?

Who can pretend you don't exist?

While Qin Feng was still inwardly grumbling, Xia Lin had already turned around and beckoned to the Second Princess Qin Lan beside her, "Lan'er, come here, let's have a good chat, mother and daughter..."

"Yes, Mother!" Qin Lan dared not refuse and carefully got up and leaned closer.

"What are you doing? I'm your mom, not a bad person!" Xia Lin reached out and grabbed Qin Lan's chest. "From now on, just call me Mom, like your brother does. Calling me Empress Dowager makes you sound too formal!!"

"Uh... okay, Mom!"

"That's right... Lan'er, tell me quickly, how much do you know about this divine soul within you?"

"..."

Nothing much happened after that. Xia Lin first chatted with the second princess, Qin Lan, for a while, then called Bai Zhiwei and the Hu Bingjing and Hu Bingxin sisters over for a chat, and then took them all out for a spa!

In Charlene's words, because she had been lying down for far too long, her body was still noticeably stiff, so she needed to improve her blood circulation and remove bruising.

Of course, it's mainly because she was there that Qin Feng and Kaori Yoda couldn't relax, right?

After Qin Feng and Yoda Kaori finished, Qin Feng got up and dressed with the help of the palace maids. When he went to his bedroom to find Xia Lin and the others who were giving him a massage, he found his mother happily playing with pillows and various other pillows with Qin Lan and Bai Zhiwei!

Anyway, Qin Feng's bed is really, really big, and he has a lot of cushions!

Qin Feng was speechless at the sight of a group of girls throwing pillows around. Was it really that fun?

Chapter 135: Poverty Limits Imagination

In any case, Charlene's strategy was quite effective. In just one night, she completely won over her children!

Especially the second princess, Qin Lan, immediately developed a close relationship with her mother, like sisters!

Not only did they sleep together at night, but they even enthusiastically played a couples' game at breakfast the next day, sharing a noodle until their mouths were touching...

To be honest, at this moment, Xia Lin doesn't resemble the Empress Dowager at all; she's just a mischievous little girl!
