Beauty Portraits: I Build a Harem in Another World

Only the Greek Empire would do something like this, and do it so ruthlessly!

Just because we usually avoid you?

However, many people are considering the significance beyond the announcement of the Xi Empire, because it is no secret that the Xi Empire and the Qin Empire have always been at odds...

Fifty years ago, the Rangxi Empire, relying on its strong military, forcibly took a piece of flesh from the Qin Empire. This was a blood feud no matter where it was. Therefore, during the reign of the old emperor Qin Ziming, a large number of troops were always stationed in the north, and the north was the most guarded area. Furthermore, the Rangxi Empire was almost never allowed to communicate with the Rangxi Empire. All the countries on the continent were well aware of these things. But now that Qin Feng has come to power, the Rangxi Empire has taken the initiative to seek peace.

There's always a reason behind unusual events. It's impossible for the Greek Empire to be a good person for no reason, especially when it involves such a large territory. Moreover, this land is not only large in area, but it has also been controlled by the Greek Empire for more than 50 years. It makes no sense for them to give it up now, right?

Considering that as soon as Qin Feng took the throne, Pope Randolph of Light surprisingly reversed his previous attitude and suddenly took the initiative to seek peace with the Great Qin Empire...

One event can be considered a coincidence, but two events occurring simultaneously are inevitable. And the reason for this inevitability undoubtedly lies with Qin Feng, the new emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty. This useless prince, who was ridiculed and looked down upon by the entire continent at the beginning, has now shocked the entire continent time and time again with his actions. First, he quelled the rebellion in the Inazuma Empire, then he reconciled with the Church of Light, and now he has made the Xi Empire take the initiative to return its territory!

Damn, is there anything he can't do?

Moreover, all of this was accomplished before he officially ascended the throne. What would happen once he officially became emperor?

Upon receiving the news, the heads of state of various countries, who had originally planned to wait, panicked and hurriedly ordered their men to prepare to depart. They realized that if they fell behind any further, they might be eliminated by this unprecedented 'great transformation' across the entire continent. They had to rush to the Qin Empire as soon as possible to make contact with the rumored new emperor, to get a direct understanding of him, and to make the most accurate judgment!

So things are probably going to get interesting on the mainland from now on!

However, when the people of the Great Qin Empire heard that the Rangxi Empire was going to return the territory, their first reaction was disbelief, followed by ecstasy and a sense of pride!

Because the defeat more than sixty years ago was the only defeat in the hundreds of years since the founding of the Qin Empire, and also the most humiliating defeat. The empire was forcibly ceded a piece of territory, which was an absolute pain in the hearts of all Qin people. Therefore, for more than fifty years, there have been people clamoring to fight until the Xi Empire reclaimed the land that originally belonged to us...

But this is just wishful thinking! Mei hasn't thought about whether Lin Zaizai has time...

The defeat more than sixty years ago caused the once mighty Qin Empire to plummet in strength. Moreover, that war was so brutal that both the Xi Empire and the Qin Empire paid a heavy price.

The Ranghi Empire was initially advancing rapidly in the Western Continent, conquering cities and seizing territory along the way. It seemed poised to penetrate the heart of the Western Continent, but due to a battle with the Qin Empire in the rear, they were forced to redeploy their forces from the Western Continent. As a result, they suffered a counterattack from the Western Continent, not only losing the occupied lands but also incurring heavy losses on their frontline troops. Fortunately, the Ranghi Empire was so formidable that the other states of the Western Continent did not dare to advance further into the Ranghi Empire's homeland; otherwise, the outcome would have been truly unpredictable!

For the Qin Empire, that battle was a national effort to resist the invasion of the Rangxi Empire. The defeat was due to the Rangxi Empire being too strong, especially after the elite troops withdrawn from the western continent were deployed to this battlefield. The Qin emperor at the time realized that if the war continued, the country might be destroyed, so he had no choice but to surrender, ultimately ceding three million kilometers of territory in the north of the empire.

This bitter fruit has always been a thorn in the hearts of all Qin people...

Even though the Xi Empire withdrew, the empire's situation was still very bad. Faced with the Qin Empire, which was severely weakened, everyone wanted to take a kick and grab some benefits. For example, the Indian Empire quietly pushed its border hundreds of kilometers into the heart of the Qin Empire, trying to make a fortune in silence. Not to mention the Weinan Empire and some other small fry around it, who took advantage of the situation and tried to grab a piece of the Qin Empire's big cake!

Fortunately, General Bai emerged at this time, and at only nineteen years old, he stepped onto the battlefield without hesitation. He fought against these wolves and wolves around the empire for more than thirty years. Otherwise, the Qin Empire might have been completely divided up by the wolves not long after!

Chapter 179: Even Signing an Agreement Requires a Barrage of Gunfire

It can be said that General Bai's reputation as a military genius was earned entirely through years of bloody battles. Moreover, the empire went from being weak and oppressed at the beginning to gradually recovering its territories, and even made the surrounding countries behave themselves. All of this was due to General Bai's hard work and dedication!

But the credit certainly doesn't belong to him alone, because a country can't succeed just because someone is good at fighting...

As the saying goes, war is about the economy and national strength!

Therefore, the emperor who trusted and fully supported General Bai's actions, the court officials who led and maintained the empire's economy, the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the capital, and even the countless people who worked tirelessly to revive the empire... these are the true greatest contributors!

It was this unity of purpose that rebuilt the glory of the Qin Dynasty and brought the empire back on the right track!

But precisely because of this, the Qin Empire would never dare to lightly declare war on the Ranghi Empire again. If history were to repeat itself, no one could bear the responsibility…

Therefore, General Bai's only regret in his life was that he was unable to personally reclaim that territory. That's why the old emperor Qin Ziming always sent Bai Hao to guard the northern border to prevent the Xi Empire from finding another excuse to invade.

But no one expected that more than sixty years later, as the generation of Qin people gradually grew old and the new generation of Qin people gradually forgot the pain of the war, and many people even thought that this land might never be recovered, the Xi Empire actually took the initiative to return this land that had been separated from the empire for more than sixty years. The reason was also quite high-sounding: as a congratulatory gift for the new emperor's ascension to the throne!

That's bullshit!

The first question is, what country would give away its territory as a congratulatory gift?

And ask the people of the Greek Empire if they would agree?

The people of Qin, who had experienced that devastating war, understood all too well how much blood had been shed on this land, not just by the people of Qin, but also by the Rangxi Empire... So even if you think about it with a grain of salt, they would never voluntarily return this land. So what do they mean by this now?

It's actually very simple, because a lot of information is right here...

The fact that the Xi Empire was the first envoy to come to the Qin Empire, and that it was a large delegation with almost half of the empire's high-ranking officials present, and that this news was only announced four or five days after the envoy arrived in the Qin capital, what does this mean?

It's quite simple. The Greek Empire must have needed something from the Qin Empire, and they've reached agreements with our new emperor on many things in the past few days. The price the Greek Empire has to pay is this piece of territory...

Regardless of what conditions the new emperor Qin Feng agreed to for the Xi Empire, as long as they can take back their territory, that would be the most triumphant thing, wouldn't it?

This also means that the Qin Empire has completely washed away the shame of that defeat more than 60 years ago. At least more than 60 years later, you have obediently returned what you took away!

In an instant, the entire capital was filled with excitement and laughter, and many people even spontaneously took to the streets to sing and dance, with shouts of "Long live the Emperor" ringing out continuously!

But this was just the beginning, because even more exciting news was about to be announced for the Empire.

After negotiations, the Qin Empire and the Inazuma Empire formally concluded an alliance, becoming not only 'all-weather strategic partners' but also the closest allies. From then on, the people of the Inazuma Empire and the Qin Empire could freely travel, trade, work, and even intermarry without any problems. Moreover, all goods from the Qin Empire entering the Inazuma Empire would not be subject to any tariffs, just like domestic products sold domestically, and the same applied to the Inazuma Empire. In addition…

In short, the Inazuma Empire is now practically a part of the Qin Empire, though it still symbolically maintains its own national system. From now on, Qin people can go to Inazuma whenever they want, and doing business or working there will be exactly the same as in their own country, without any difference!

One sentence in particular is quite eye-catching: the Inazuma Empire will no longer establish an army, and the responsibility for national security and law enforcement will be transferred to the Qin Empire. However, at the same time, the Inazuma people will still be required to fulfill the Qin Empire's military service requirements...

Upon seeing this, those who need to understand will understand: from now on, the Inazuma Empire will simply be an autonomous prefecture of the Great Qin Empire!

Was Empress Inazuma's coronation gift generous enough?

Okay, you guys are too greedy. You still think this isn't enough? Mei, where are you? Lin Kong, where are you? Lin Zai Zai, where are you?...

Do you know how Qin Feng negotiated this contract with Empress Inazuma Haruko?

Yes, it's in the Qian Yuan Hall, right on that dragon throne...

Don't worry, there are no other outsiders present. Qin Feng didn't bring any ministers, and Haruko Yoda didn't bring any staff either. Originally, Qin Feng hadn't thought too much about it. He just planned to have a good discussion with Haruko Yoda about the follow-up of the 'all-weather strategic partnership' and to fully implement this matter.

It's important to understand that although Qin Feng devised this plan when he was in the Inazuma Empire, he was merely a prince at the time. Firstly, he didn't have that much authority, and secondly, since the plan wasn't reported to the old emperor Qin Ziming, he couldn't make decisions or execute many things on his own.

But things are different now. Qin Feng is the emperor, and his words are the final standard. So when he sat down with Haruko Yoda to discuss these matters again, he was much more assertive and decisive. He made decisions on many things without even asking Haruko Yoda's consent.

This was primarily due to Qin Feng's improved strength. Secondly, his confidence in dealing with the Xi Empire's schemes had also been boosted. In addition, he had been diligently attending court and handling state affairs these past few days, which helped him understand many aspects of the empire's situation. Furthermore, he had learned a great deal from Xu Zibo and others, which naturally led to a significant change in his perspectives and approaches to matters compared to before.

Then Haruko Yoda's response was equally simple, consisting of only one word from beginning to end: "Okay!"

Most importantly, because the two were so close, even in the Qian Yuan Hall, a place where the emperor was in charge of his work, Haruko Yoda sat directly on Qin Feng's lap without any hesitation, and then acted very intimately and affectionately.

She didn't even glance at the documents Qin Feng gave her, because at that moment, she only had eyes for Qin Feng. So no matter what Qin Feng said, she agreed, and then she only cared about taking advantage of him by touching him. Especially when Qin Feng explained some new agreements he had come up with, Haruko Yoda simply took off Qin Feng's dragon robe, and while listening, she hugged his "big sword" and started eating it...

As a result, Qin Feng was also enraged by her, so he simply stripped her naked and pressed her down on the dragon table. He then severely punished her with his sword while explaining the situation and making her sign and put her fingerprint on the document!

Haruko Yoda, who was in such a terrible state, didn't even have time to read the contents of the agreement.

So after satisfying her, Qin Feng summoned Xu Zibo and the other ministers to explain the agreement.

As for Empress Haruko Yoda, who was not wearing any clothes, she naturally continued to hide under the dragon table. However, she was still unwilling to be lonely and continued to stick her butt out, receiving Qin Feng's favor...

Well, it's fortunate that Qin Feng's case was big enough, and it's also fortunate that he's not an ordinary person and wouldn't be able to resist making some uncontrollable moves like a normal man. Otherwise, if Xu Zibo and the other hardworking officials who worked so hard for the empire found out that this guy was still messing around with women during 'meetings', they would probably be furious!

Chapter 180: The Coronation Ceremony Finally Arrives

However, it's not entirely fair to blame Yoda Haruko for being too eager. Her status dictates that she can't stay in the Qin capital for long, and once Qin Feng's enthronement ceremony is over, she'll likely be returning to Japan. Even if she misses Qin Feng terribly, he can't always come to favor her, and who knows when they'll meet again. Naturally, Yoda Haruko is seizing every opportunity to be completely connected with Qin Feng; she won't consider anything else! (The last sentence appears to be unrelated and possibly spam/advertisement.)

And this also proves another statement, doesn't it?

Women in love are indeed blind...

But there's absolutely nothing wrong with that statement. Although Haruko Yoda is much older than Qin Feng and is already a mother of three daughters, who says she can't fall in love now?

Since being completely conquered by Qin Feng, especially after he made her younger, her heart has been completely opened. Now, she can't even fit anyone else in her heart except Qin Feng. What else could this be but love?

In fact, it wasn't just Haruko Yoda who was like this; wasn't Yu Wanlin's mother, Hu Xiafei, the same? After being rescued by Qin Feng, she only had this young man in her heart and believed that he was her only support for the rest of her life. And what about the forty-year-old saintess, Regina?

Regina, who has never been in love before, now has nothing but this man in her heart and eyes!

Even Empress Dowager Charlene was the same. Strictly speaking, Charlene didn't marry Qin Ziming because she loved him. Her decision was more for the sake of the Kelvin family. Therefore, she had never experienced love before. After being resurrected and meeting Qin Feng, who was about the same age as her, Charlene's actions were essentially those of a young girl in love. Especially after Qin Feng made her young again, Charlene didn't consider her status as Empress Dowager when she was with Qin Feng. She acted like an ordinary young girl!

Otherwise, why do you think Xia Lin would have Bai Zhiwei and the others call her Sister Lin instead of Mother?

In addition, there's now Liu Li...

Moreover, this "mom group" is very strong, especially because they are close in age and get along quite well. Xia Lin and Regina are already good friends, and now Liu Li is her in-law, as is Yoda Haruko. So the four of them quickly became a close-knit group. Especially after they performed the mother-daughter pairing game with Qin Feng yesterday with their daughters, their relationship became even closer. The four of them are always together and don't stand on ceremony.

After Qin Feng finally finished dealing with his 'political affairs,' he returned to the Qianqing Palace with Haruko Yoda. The Empress immediately recounted to Xia Lin and the others everything she and Qin Feng had done in the Qianyuan Hall. She described it in great detail and vividly, and even expressed that playing like that was very exciting and fun, repeatedly encouraging Xia Lin and the others to try it out...

Okay, Charlene had actually already tried it, but she wouldn't reveal it, so she just chuckled and pulled her son over, "Feng'er really worked hard this afternoon, come on, let's give you a good massage to relax!"

"I'll give His Majesty a massage!" Liu Li immediately raised her hand in agreement. "His Majesty said a few days ago that he really liked my massage techniques!"

"Right? What areas do you massage?" Charlene covered her mouth and chuckled. "You don't end up feeling more comfortable after each massage, do you?"

"You're so annoying!" Liu Li laughed, but without the slightest embarrassment. Her eyes darted around, "Then how about this: Lin-jie, you can massage His Majesty's upper body, and I'll massage his lower body..."

"Dream on!" Charlene spat softly. "Hmph... Your sisters will never agree to such a wicked idea!"

"Hehe, why don't we just do it together!"

"That's pretty much it!"

Okay, Qin Feng is about to have some tough time facing four round, heart-shaped butts coming his way...

As expected, the capital of Qin became increasingly lively as the date of the coronation ceremony drew closer.

As heads of state from neighboring countries arrived one after another, the welcoming ceremonies in the capital became increasingly frequent. Qin Feng was fair; regardless of the country, its size, or whether the visitor was male or female, as long as they were heads of state, they received the same treatment. Twenty-one firecrackers were provided, along with a deafening roar of welcome from the crowds…

However, the people of the capital are actually here to see Qin Feng, because they have found that the new emperor is very good at making everyone look good.

After all, in the more than three hundred years since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, where had such a grand and glorious moment ever occurred?

Not only did all the leaders of the entire continent gather here, but this was also the first time ever seen on the continent, let alone the Qin Empire!

Qin Feng was particularly firm. After all, these visiting foreign heads of state must have brought a certain number of defense forces, because no one would risk their life. But when they arrived at the gates of the capital, Qin Feng said one thing: all foreign troops and armed forces are absolutely not allowed to set foot in the territory of the Qin capital. So please stay in the designated garrison and absolutely do not leave, otherwise you will bear the consequences!

What? You absolutely must escort them into the city?

Alright, you can go back now. We, the Great Qin Empire, appreciate your kindness this time. I'll invite you for tea next time I have some free time.

In our Great Qin Empire, the safety of all of you should be the responsibility of us, the people of Great Qin!

So Situ Yang is quite powerful now, frequently appearing in front of heads of state from various countries, because the security detail for these heads of state is composed of his elite guards!

Especially after the arrival of political figures from various countries in the Western Continent, and particularly after the 'official' appearance of Pope Randolph, the capital city officially entered the 'Qin Dynasty' era...

On the day of the coronation ceremony, the entire capital was completely transformed, and even every household voluntarily planted the dragon flag representing the Qin Empire, turning the entire city into a sea of ​​flags.

Qin Feng was very busy that day. First, he performed the Fengshan ceremony, then led the officials to worship their ancestors, followed by a general amnesty. After that, he received the imperial edict to ascend the throne amidst the kneeling worship of all the people and obtained the Imperial Seal. Then he received the congratulations of the officials and envoys from all directions...

But the main event today is the grand military parade that will take place after all of this is over!

When the well-disciplined soldiers of the Great Qin Empire marched in perfect unison along the central avenue to the Royal Square, the entire capital city was practically hoarse from shouting!

Those heartfelt and deafening shouts of "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" echoed continuously in the capital, leaving the heads of state from various countries who were attending the ceremony dumbfounded and trembling with fear. Before they came, they had never imagined that the Emperor of Qin would have such prestige, such high level of support, and most importantly, that the people of Qin would possess such imposing presence!

Clearly, this coronation ceremony held by the Qin Empire was not only far larger in scale than ever before, but also unprecedented in its achievements!

Although for Qin Feng, it was really just a ceremony, a grand occasion and commemoration for him to truly ascend to the throne and officially become the supreme ruler of the Qin Empire.

But for others, the significance is far greater...

Especially the subjects of the Qin Empire, at this moment, every single one of them was extremely proud to be a Qin citizen, because the so-called tribute from all nations was nothing more than this!

So that evening, after Empress Dowager Xia Lin gave the order, everyone in Qianqing Palace, including all the palace maids, was not allowed to wear any clothes. She said that what followed was a sleepless night of revelry, and everyone had to be free and unrestrained to participate in the party. There was no hierarchy or etiquette to be bound by; everyone was equal, and everyone could fairly and justly receive His Majesty the Emperor's favor!

The result of this was that Qin Feng eventually lost count of how many women he had slept with, because there was always a continuous stream of women's high buttocks in front of him...

Is this the life an emperor should have?

Chapter 181: Now I'll Set the Rules for You

But that's not the point right now. The point is that the next day, after Qin Feng officially went to court as emperor, he suddenly came up with an idea that slightly deterred the heads of state from leaving...

Because Qin Feng proposed to hold the first Mainland Summit, while the leaders of all countries on the mainland are still here, we can strike while the iron is hot and reach some frameworks for cooperation between countries!

To put it bluntly, Qin Feng is about to set the rules for the Eastern and Western Continents!

Qin Feng understood this principle, and many others naturally understood it as well. That's why some heads of state initially dismissed it. Who do you think you are? You just ascended the throne and became emperor. You haven't even warmed your seat yet, and you're already worrying about the affairs of the entire continent. You even want to point fingers at us. You're such a young kid with barely grown hair, aren't you too ambitious?

The problem is that quite a few people have spoken out in support of Qin Feng. Not to mention Empress Haruko Inazuma, King Slin III of the Hispani Empire also stood up immediately to express his support. Then Pope Randolph of Light also said with a smile that this is the will of the Goddess of Light and a good thing that will benefit the continent. It must be supported!

Therefore, the heads of state of the Western Continent could only express their support one by one. Then, the countries of the Eastern Continent that were close to the Western Continent also expressed their willingness to participate. After all, they now had many connections and cooperation with the Western Continent. So if the countries of the Western Continent and the Qin Empire needed to reach some agreements, they would naturally want to know what the contents were, what impact they would have on them, and preferably get some conditions that were favorable to themselves!

Some of these countries were completely dumbfounded. Take the Indian Empire, for example. It had always coveted the wealth of the Qin Empire and had been trying to compete with the Qin Empire in every way, dreaming that one day it could defeat the Qin Empire. So, although the Indian Empire's head of state, Gandi, came to the ceremony, he was the stingiest in terms of gifts. Qin Feng didn't care about that.

However, this guy kept making sarcastic remarks during Qin Feng's coronation ceremony, especially after seeing the grand military parade of the Great Qin Dynasty, he described it as just a show, and even publicly stated that these soldiers had no real combat ability...

What's most infuriating is that even though Gandi is now in the capital of the Great Qin Empire, he has no idea what restraint is. He runs around the embassy districts of various countries every day, trying to win over the Weinan Empire in the southwest of the Eastern Continent and countries like Cambodia to fight against the Great Qin Empire!

Honestly, isn't this really going too far?

As a result, countries such as the Khmer Empire and Ireland later had to explicitly state that they wanted to distance themselves from the Indian Empire to avoid any misunderstanding by the Qin Empire.

Since most heads of state agreed to hold the summit, the first cooperation summit on the mainland officially opened two days later in the royal hall of the Qin Empire. Qin Feng, as the host, naturally sat on the dais, next to Pope Randolph, Emperor Slin III of the Hitler Empire, and Empress Caroline of the Noah Empire...
