The Three Great Han Dynasties: Awaken Liu Bei with a scolding; you weave mats and sell sandals.

Liu Bei initially didn't believe it, until Xu Shu told him the whole story, and then he was completely dumbfounded.

Is the old man going to marry his sister-in-law?

Did you ask him, the son, about it?

Are we no longer a family?

Sons have no human rights.

Liu Bei was filled with complaints.

……

A few days later, it was the day of their wedding.

While it may not be described as a grand procession of red bridal processions or a scene of radiant spring, it was certainly a place of festive decorations and bustling crowds.

The bridal sedan chair traveled from the Marquis of Weining's residence all the way to the Liu family's private school, and then to the side courtyard, with the sound of drummers echoing through several streets.

Madam Xu had already changed into new clothes and then got into the bridal sedan chair.

Xu Shu followed closely behind the group.

Upon arriving at the main hall of the Liu family, under the watchful eyes of numerous guests, Liu Hong and Madam Xu bowed to heaven and earth, after which a great commotion ensued.

The day passed quickly, and it was already nightfall. The guests had all left.

As the groom today, Liu Hong was drinking the nuptial wine with Madam Xu. The wine was slightly cool as it went down his throat, and Liu Hong's heart gradually warmed up.

Looking at Madam Xu in front of me, her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and her light red wedding dress made her even more radiant and charming.

Have you eaten yet?

Liu Hong asked with concern.

Xu nodded shyly, then took the initiative to get up and go behind Liu Hong to undress him. Her movements seemed clumsy, but they were exceptionally gentle.

But just as Xu bent down to continue, Liu Hong suddenly grabbed her hand, his gaze falling on the snow-white cleavage extending from her neck. His throat bobbed, and his lips and teeth were already very dry.

Xu subconsciously looked up and met Liu Hong's burning gaze.

"Madam, the spring scenery is beautiful tonight, why don't we go to bed first?"

Liu Hong raised his hand and waved it out, extinguishing the candlelight.

But the new house was not shrouded in darkness; the bright moonlight outside still allowed the two to see each other.

In the flickering light, when Liu Hong looked at Xu Shi again, he felt a hazy beauty rise up and strike his heart once more.

Liu Hong stepped forward and hugged the lovely woman tightly. Her voluptuous body felt like he was holding a piece of pure white cotton.

Then they led her to the bed at the back.

Then, from some unknown point in time, the decadent music of the night began to slowly rise.

……

……

"Madam, here is some tea for you."

"My husband, this is your tea."

The next day, shortly after 7 a.m., Wu woke up early in the morning.

There aren't many rules in this house, but the necessary procedures still need to be followed.

She picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and glanced at Liu Hong with a resentful look before turning to Xu Shi. However, the resentment in her eyes had now turned into affection.

Only after yesterday did they become a real family.

"My husband has warmed my sister's heart, but he has left me feeling cold."

Wu bit her lower lip, her resentment growing more pronounced.

Liu Hong could only smile awkwardly, quickly cupped his hands in greeting, and left the place first, leaving the two sisters to get along well.

He used his Qi Observation Technique on Xu Shi, consuming 100 points of luck value.

Name: Xu

Age: 28

[Aura: Pale Yellow]

[Destiny: Resilient and persevering, a life of ups and downs, with mixed achievements and shortcomings, ultimately leaving little room for satisfaction.]

……

"System detection: You have met one of the requirements for the advanced task 'Imperial Concubine' and can be granted a title. Please select a title from 'Virtuous, Good, Gentle, and Wise'."

Liu Hong pondered for a moment, then thought to himself, "The Virtuous Consort."

"System detection: The host has selected the character '贤' (virtuous/wise). Conferment successful."

The system notification sounded again, but Liu Hong remained completely unmoved.

This is just a routine process for loading the panel. The previous appointment of Wu as empress did not bring any real benefits; it was just a simple record.

The one who truly needs to put in the effort is the emperor himself.

"Today, I hereby bestow upon Consort Xu the title of Third-Class Beauty."

"Ding! This conferment has consumed 250,000 points of luck value."

Name: Xu

Age: 28

[Official Rank: Third-Class Beauty]

[Fortune: Bright Red]

[Destiny: A virtuous husband and children, with aspirations and fulfillment.]

Destiny and fortune complement each other.

Destiny is like the foundation, and fortune is like a tall building; neither can be lacking.

Having a destiny but lacking fortune means being unknown and accomplishing nothing, just like the Xu family in history, whose life was aimless and ultimately came to nothing.

Having good fortune but lacking destiny is like a dazzling shooting star, shining brightly for a moment before plummeting to the ground.

The closer someone is to you, the more attention Liu Hong pays to their fate and fortune, and he will never allow them to get into trouble because of their circumstances.

The supreme ruler, absolutely not, would not allow it.

Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the king; on the shores of the whole land, all people are subjects of the king.

All things in heaven and earth belong to me; if I do not permit it, then it is not permissible.

After bestowing titles upon the Xu family, Liu Hong was satisfied and was about to leave the mansion when he suddenly saw Xu Shu coming to visit.

"Your son greets his father."

Liu Hong nodded, helped him up, exchanged a few words with him, and then told him to go about his business.

He then went straight to the government office.

Since arriving in Zhuojun, he, as the Commandant, has not yet visited the various counties, and now it is time to prepare proposals.

There were still several years of peace before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so the imperial court still had to put on a show.

He was the Marquis of Weining, appointed by the imperial court.

At the very least, superficial appearances are necessary; something made of paper is always better than nothing.

……

On the other end.

Xu Shu strode forward and stood in front of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

He stood up abruptly, blocking the path the three were about to take out: "Brother Xuande, you may dodge the first day of the month, but you can't dodge the fifteenth. Do you intend to damage the reputation of the Liu family and bring shame upon our people?"

Xu Shu asked the first question.

Liu Bei stared at him in disbelief, pointing at him with a furious expression: "Yuanzhi, you little brat, how dare you insult Liu Xuande like this?"

However, they still know how to compromise on the surface and recognize the current reality.

You can't fight city hall.

"Xuande greets his elder brother."

"Um."

Xu Shu nodded calmly, then looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind Liu Bei.

The two looked at each other, and after exchanging a glance, they said as if resigned to their fate, "Guan Yu greets elder brother."

"I, Zhang Yide, have also met you, elder brother."

"Excellent, excellent."

Xu Shu offered a few perfunctory compliments, but then couldn't help burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!!!"

"Today, I, Xu Yuanzhi, will remember this for the rest of my life."

……

At this time, Liu Hong had arrived at the government office.

The two deputy envoys beside him had been eagerly awaiting his arrival. Upon seeing him, they were overjoyed, as if they had seen their own parents. They grabbed his legs on either side and shouted, "Commander, you've finally arrived!"

"If we don't come to take up our posts soon, the prefect will blame us, and we officials really can't bear the consequences."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hong touched his nose guiltily, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

According to official custom, one should take up one's post on the first day of arriving in Zhuojun before dealing with family matters.

But who can blame us when the emperor is far away and the central government is in power?

As the Marquis of Weining, he was a member of the Han imperial family, which is why he ended up in this state. He truly felt sorry for his two subordinates.
