Three Kingdoms: Start by buying a governor.

(Because this chapter has been completely revised and much has been deleted, an extra chapter has been added.)

The military officers drank wine from large bowls and ate large chunks of meat, making a great commotion, and the entire Prince Yan's mansion was immersed in a festive atmosphere.

Zhang Fei dragged Cheng Yaojin into a drinking contest, the two of them taking turns drinking bowls until their faces turned red and their necks thick.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu squatted in a corner, competing to see who could eat more pork knuckles. Dian Wei ate six, and Xu Chu ate seven. Dian Wei was not convinced, so he went to get another one, and ended up burping from being so full.

Guan Yu sat to the side, holding a wine cup, a smile on his lips, unusually not with a stern face.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao clinked glasses, exchanged a few words, and then both laughed.

Guo Jia, his face flushed from drinking, pulled Xi Zhicai aside and said, "Zhicai, don't you think our lord's luck with women is a bit too good? From Youzhou to Luoyang, from Luoyang to... how many is this now?"

Xi Zhicai laughed and said, "Who cares which number he is? As long as our lord is happy and the world is at peace, we'll have wine to drink."

Guo Jia thought about it and agreed, raising his wine cup: "Come on, drink!"

The commotion lasted until evening before the wedding banquet finally ended.

The group was so drunk they staggered and were helped back by their respective guards.

Cheng Yaojin was carried away by two guards, who kept shouting, "Another bowl, please."

Zhang Fei was lying face down on the table when Guan Yu picked him up and dragged him away.

Liu Ce had also drunk quite a bit, his face flushed slightly. After seeing off the last group of guests, he turned and walked towards the backyard, heading straight for Cai Zhenji's courtyard.

...

In Cai Zhenji's courtyard, red candles burned brightly, illuminating the entire room in a crimson glow.

She was wearing a bright red nightgown, sitting on the edge of the bed, twisting the hem of the dress between her fingers, her heart pounding like a rabbit's.

Although she had long been attracted to Liu Ce and had been looking forward to this day, she still couldn't help but feel shy when the moment actually arrived, and didn't even dare to lift her head.

The brocade quilt on the bed was newly changed, embroidered with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Incense, meant to calm the mind, burned in the incense burner, its delicate fragrance filling the air.

The red candle on the table popped and broke, startling Cai Zhenji.

With a creak, the door was gently pushed open.

Liu Ce walked in and closed the door behind him.

He stood at the doorway, looking at Cai Zhenji sitting on the edge of the bed, her face as red as a ripe apple, and couldn't help but laugh.

He walked slowly over, sat down beside her, gently lifted her chin with his hand, and said with a smile:

"What's wrong? Why is our fearless Zhen'er so shy today? Where did her courage to keep asking me questions go?"

Cai Zhenji blushed even more, slapped his hand away, turned her head away, and stubbornly said, "Who's shy! I'm not! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Oh? Really not?"

Liu Ce raised an eyebrow, deliberately drawing out his words, and whispered with a chuckle in her ear:

"I remember back in Zhuo County, Youzhou, someone would follow me around every day, asking me: '...All your other wives are pregnant, all ten of them are pregnant! How are you so amazing? How did you do it? Teach me, I'll need it when I get married.'"

He paused, then deliberately lowered his voice, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips:

"What, now that it's your turn, you're shy?"

"It's alright, husband, I keep my word. I'll teach you properly today."

Upon hearing this, Cai Zhenji's face instantly turned bright red, the redness extending all the way to her ears.

She was both embarrassed and angry, and punched Liu Ce lightly, scolding him playfully:

"You're so annoying! Don't bring up what happened back then! Who asked you to teach me! Bring it on, who's afraid of who!"

The words had barely left his mouth...

It blocked out the warm light that filled the room...

Soft whispers and gasps mingled with warm breaths...

They intertwined in the quiet bedroom...

Liu Ce lowered his head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes...

Laughing, I teased her:

"...Should I continue teaching you?"

Cai Zhenji bit her lip, her cheeks flushed, and glared at him...

But it had no intimidating power whatsoever; instead, it added a touch of coquettishness...

She muttered softly, "More..."

"Although it's a bit..."

Cai Zhenji breathed a sigh of relief, nestled obediently in his arms, and followed his rhythm...

Half an hour later...

Cai Zhenji lay slumped in Liu Ce's arms, panting heavily, thinking to herself:

It's almost over, I'm exhausted. I need to get a good night's sleep later.

Another hour passed...

"I'm so tired..."

"Could...could you take a break first...?"

He looked at her, her face flushed and her hair disheveled, and whispered in her ear:

"..."

Chae Jeong-hee wanted to cry but had no tears, and secretly regretted her actions:

If I had known... it was this amazing, I shouldn't have asked that question back then out of curiosity!

This isn't "teaching me," it's clearly "torturing" me!

But complaining aside...

She still reached out and hugged Liu Ce's neck tightly...

Following her own heart, she responded to the man before her...

After all, the man in front of her was the one she had longed for for so long, the only person she could rely on in this life.

They spent the night in passionate lovemaking, the red candles burning from dusk till dawn.

As dawn broke outside the window, the first rays of sunlight streamed through the windowpane into the bedroom, falling upon the two people sleeping in each other's arms.

Cai Zhenji was nestled in Liu Ce's arms, fast asleep, a faint smile on her lips.

Her hair was spread out on the pillow, her face still flushed, and her eyelashes trembled slightly like two small fans.

Liu Ce gently stroked her hair, his eyes full of tenderness and doting.
