"certainly!"
Guo Feng also felt his breath catch in his throat, but he did not back down.
He nodded as he said, "Since you're looking for a son-in-law, if others can marry you, why can't I?"
"presumptuous!"
The Ninth Steward immediately shouted a rebuke.
I was deeply shocked!
Who is the Empress?
She stood out among the many princes and eliminated several powerful rivals.
They slaughtered several large families.
They used brutal methods to suppress the border barbarians and rebellious foreign tribes.
A woman who even the previous emperor felt immense pressure from!
No one has ever dared to say such frivolous things in front of her!
The Empress couldn't help but smile, waving her hand to stop the Ninth Chief Eunuch, and then looked at Guo Feng: "You're right, if others can marry him, of course you can too."
"but--"
She changed the subject abruptly, saying, "Whether it's your abilities or the power behind you, you're not qualified to marry me right now."
Guo Feng frowned.
He kept saying he wanted to marry the Empress, but it was just talk. Marrying the Empress is not that easy.
However, the fact that the Empress said this to his face still made him somewhat uncomfortable.
At this moment, the Empress said, "Of course, with your talent and the speed at which you are improving, you are not without a chance."
"Then tell me your conditions?"
Guo Feng asked with some dissatisfaction.
"My husband has at least the strength of the ninth rank, level nine. He may not be invincible, but he is definitely one of the best."
The Empress said calmly, "Moreover, he must be a ruler of a region, either commanding a million soldiers or leading one of the ten major sects."
She looked at Guo Feng and asked, "Is there a problem with this condition?"
"Forehead……"
Guo Feng had no choice but to nod in agreement.
This empress's beauty is probably unparalleled in the world.
Hua Yinxi was originally the most beautiful and attractive girl Guo Feng had ever seen.
However, Hua Yinxi was far inferior to the Empress.
One is the sky, the other is the earth.
The Empress's strength was at least at the sixth level of the ninth rank, but he couldn't fully perceive exactly how strong she was.
Moreover, she holds a prestigious position, controlling the life and death of hundreds of billions of people, and can command fifteen royal cities, hundreds of main cities, and thousands of large cities.
Her criteria for choosing a partner are indeed correct.
"I admit you're right, but, in all the world, the only people who could meet your requirements are probably the sect leaders of the ten major sects, right?"
Guo Feng chuckled, "If you wanted to marry these veteran sect leaders, you would have done so long ago. You must be either worried about them or you don't think they're good enough for you, right?"
"The empire is so vast, full of hidden talents, that it's not impossible for someone like you to rise to prominence."
The Empress calmly replied, "Besides, my decision to choose a son-in-law is merely a test of the loyalty of the various lords, making it easier for me to eliminate rebels. I, the Empress, would never actually go to such lengths as choosing a son-in-law!"
She paused for a moment, then said, "Do you really think that my power is so weak that I need to find a son-in-law to support my throne?"
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Guo Feng raised an eyebrow and suddenly realized what was going on.
yes!
As an empress who ruled the entire empire, how could she possibly entrust her power to someone else?
But we have to admit it.
Empress Yanyang's strategy worked.
Even Guo Feng underestimated the Empress from the beginning, thinking she was weak.
And those ambitious people, even if they could guess the Empress's thoughts.
However, ambitious people are ambitious precisely because they are gamblers!
If there's an opportunity, you should take a chance.
So, the Duke of Guo originally intended to play along, but after Guo Changsheng, Nan Liru, and Guo Feng caused trouble, he directly declared himself emperor and rebelled!
Others either wait and see.
Either pledge your loyalty!
Or... they might not be able to hold back and want to create a situation where warlords divide the country!
This empress is no ordinary woman!
"So how are you going to handle this?"
Guo Feng suddenly asked a question in return.
"Isn't this giving you a chance?"
The Empress chuckled, "You are an outsider, possessing monstrous talent but lacking powerful forces, making you entirely under my control."
As she spoke, a smile played on her lips. "Making you the emperor's son-in-law in name only is a win-win situation for both of us."
"good!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Feng couldn't help but laugh, "Empress, what you say is exactly what I was thinking."
"Let's be a couple in name only."
"Each takes what they need."
"In fact, I was born a playboy, and now that I've become the emperor's son-in-law, I can help you with things you can't do!"
He added, "Of course, since it's a mutually beneficial arrangement, I also have conditions."
"You're quite interesting."
The Empress smiled knowingly, looked Guo Feng over carefully, and then said, "However, now is not the time for you to make your demands."
"How so?"
Guo Feng asked again.
"You don't even qualify to be the emperor's son-in-law in name."
The Empress said calmly, "You still need to pass two tests of mine. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to just find someone I can control to be my puppet son-in-law?"
"test?"
Guo Feng raised an eyebrow and asked, "What kind of test? Tell me about it."
"First, become one of the five disciples of the Six Harmonies Sect."
"Second, find me an opportunity to kill Guo Guogong's thirteenth son, Guo Xiaoyi."
After the Empress finished speaking, she added, "Of course, all of this is on the premise that you can enter the Imperial Son-in-Law Examination alive before I can appoint you."
"OK."
Guo Feng readily agreed, "No problem."
"but."
He looked at the Empress and said, "You also need to agree to two conditions beforehand."
