The most romantic little emperor

Chapter 468: Three Great Academies

Qin Hao could feel that she had an innate arrogance, like an untamed horse who didn't want to be tamed by anyone.

Although she is in a foreign place, facing unfamiliar environment and people, and has to endure some things, she still maintains her unique pride and confidence.

But the wild and unruly blood running in my bones cannot be changed.

"Miss Jin'er, you are my honored guest, just treat this place as your own home."

Qin Hao smiled faintly and said, "Your father has betrothed you to me. From now on, you are my woman."

As soon as these words came out, Yelu Jiner's cheeks instantly turned red as if burning. She clenched her fists, her knuckles turned white, and her deep blue eyes flashed with an unyielding light, as if containing the wildness and fierceness of the northern grasslands.

"What are you laughing at! You shameless tyrant, I will never be your woman, don't even think about making me surrender!" She glared at him, her voice trembling a little, but she could not hide her determination.

Qin Hao was unmoved, and said calmly: "Miss Jin'er, you will eventually understand the cruelty of this world. You need to pay the price for your stubbornness and arrogance."

Yelu Jin'er sneered, her voice full of disdain: "Bah! Do you want to call me Jin'er? Don't think that I'm afraid of you just because you are the Emperor of Daxia."

"The warriors of our Liao Dynasty are as strong as the wind and are invincible. Your Great Xia has long lost its former glory. You, the incompetent ruler, can just be complacent here!"

Qin Hao narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly: "Yelü Jin'er, it seems that you still don't understand your situation very well."

He paused for a moment, and a disdainful arc appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What about your Liao Kingdom? When I have time, I will conquer it completely in one fell swoop!"

His words were filled with endless arrogance, as if the entire grassland was trembling under his feet.

These words hit Yelu Jiner's heart like a heavy hammer, making her shudder.

Yelu Jin'er's eyes were slightly stern, she stared at Qin Hao, as if trying to find more secrets from his deep eyes.

She was shocked by the courage Qin Hao exuded, which was a kind of confidence and determination that came from deep in his heart.

Ever since her father lost her to Qin Hao, she had imagined countless times in her mind how this little emperor would treat her, and she had even prepared various countermeasures.

However, at this moment, Yelu Jiner found that those preparations were of no use at all.

"Humph!"

Qin Hao snorted coldly, his face showing unquestionable majesty. He deliberately slowed down his tone, as if he was threatening or teasing her: "Come here, take this Princess of Liao away and let her learn the rules of the palace first. Remember, you must serve her attentively and not be negligent in the slightest!"

As he finished speaking, the palace maids and eunuchs outside the door hurried in and said respectfully to Yelu Jin'er, "Princess, please follow me."

Yelu Jin'er's heart trembled slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She raised her head slightly and looked at Qin Hao, with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Daxia, what do you want to do?"

Qin Hao looked at her panic-stricken appearance and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He stretched out his hand to lift her chin, his eyes wandering over her delicate features, his voice low and magnetic: "As long as you are obedient, I will not embarrass you. Otherwise, hehe..."

Qin Hao's voice was like a spring breeze, yet it also carried an irresistible strength.

Yelu Jin'er was fixed firmly on Qin Hao's sharp gaze, her heart was like a lake blown by a strong wind, rippling with waves, and she was in a panic.

She lowered her head slightly, her azure eyes were as deep and cold as a frozen lake in the north, with a hint of anger flashing across them, but reason told her that at this moment she must not become an enemy of the powerful Emperor of Daxia.

So, Yelu Jin'er nodded helplessly and let the palace maids and eunuchs take her away.

When Yelu Jiner's figure disappeared from his sight, Qin Hao gently placed his fingers on the tip of his nose, as if he could smell the faint fragrance left on her body.

Qin Hao raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself: This little hot pepper princess is quite wild and hot, quite interesting.

However, since she dares to threaten me, I must tame her and let her know how powerful I am.

At noon, Feng Lao came back quickly with a satisfied smile on his face. He reported to Qin Hao: "Your Majesty, the matter has been settled. Those people who chose to submit to the court have cleverly disguised themselves as merchants and followed Yelu Lingxiao to the border of Daxia to carry out your orders."

Qin Hao nodded slightly, his eyes gleaming with wisdom, and said softly: "The reason why I let them off the hook is that I hope they can sneak into Liao to collect intelligence for me."

"If they can really find out the strength of Liao, then my tolerance today will not be in vain."

Hearing this, Old Feng stroked his beard and smiled, with a bit of confidence in his voice: "Your Majesty, you really have a keen eye for talent. Although these people in the martial arts world are not top-notch, they all have their own unique ways in disguise and espionage."

"When I was screening, I found several promising talents. If they can return safely, I will let them join the Jinyiwei and serve your majesty. What do you think?"

Qin Hao nodded gently, a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he laughed: "Mr. Feng, I have always been at ease with you doing things. You can make the decision on this matter."

"By the way, Your Majesty, when I came back just now, I heard that there will be a poetry gathering at Pingxi Lake tonight." Old Feng suddenly remembered something and said softly.

Qin Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he became very interested in the poetry meeting that Old Feng mentioned. He asked eagerly, "Will Zuo Wenxuan, the famous talent in the capital, go there too?"

During the morning court session yesterday, Wei Zheng recommended Zuo Wenxuan to serve as an official in the court. Many ministers in the court praised him highly, which made Qin Hao curious about this person.

Anyone who can receive such praise from court ministers must have extraordinary talent and knowledge.

Elder Feng bowed slightly and chuckled, "Your Majesty, I heard that this poetry gathering is jointly held by the three major academies of Wenlan, Wenxin and Jingsi in the capital, and Zuo Wenxuan is the top scholar in the three academies. He is talented and famous, so I'm sure he will go."

Qin Hao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked calmly: "Old Feng, in your opinion, is it appropriate to select vacant positions in the court from among these literati?"

Elder Feng nodded without hesitation, his tone firm and powerful: "Your Majesty, these three academies were once the holy places that Emperor Taizu and the late emperor relied on the most. They house tens of thousands of books and gather the best talents in the world."

"Over the past twenty years, countless capable officials have emerged from here. They have made great military achievements for the country and contributed endless wisdom to the country. Therefore, it is a wise move to select officials from these literati."
