Changle Palace.
Lu Bu smiled and asked first: "Your Majesty called me here this time, but do you want to discuss with me the specific matters of the princess's marriage?
I have also heard a little bit, and now people are saying that Your Majesty is going to prepare a generous gift for Princess Wannian.
You also want to build me a Prince Consort's Mansion, oh, this is such a waste!
But since it is His Majesty’s wish, I have no choice but to suffer the consequences! "
Liu Xie didn't know how to answer, so he had to look at Wang Yun.
Wang Yun cursed in his heart: Didn’t you spread these rumors?
But he said with a smile on his face: "Marquis Wen is joking, it's just some random rumors spread by some scoundrels in the market. How can it be counted?"
Lu Bu looked shocked: "Huh? Is it possible for the Tian family to marry a princess quietly? It has to be lively, right?"
Ordinary people have to fiddle with three matchmakers and six betrothals when marrying a wife, right?
Prince, if you want to marry your daughter, won’t you be able to do so in a glamorous manner? "
"Ahem, I invited Marquis Wen here this time not to talk about the princess's wedding, but mainly to talk about buying grain and your going to Xuzhou to serve as a state herder!" Wang Yun was about to change the subject.
"Oh, this is about it! Let's talk about it," Lu Bu said.
"I thought about it carefully and felt that what Marquis Wen said last time made sense. Food is the foundation.
Moreover, Marquis Wen, it is indeed inconvenient for you to bring so much food with you to Xuzhou, so let the imperial court come forward and buy your food. "
Lu Bu smiled and said: "It's just right. Isn't it convenient for you to make it easier for others? One hundred thousand gold!"
Wang Yun winked at Liu Xie, and Liu Xie had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Marquis Wen, I know your price is very fair.
But you also know that Dong Zhuo's political chaos has just made people in Luoyang and Chang'an miserable, and the national treasury is empty. How can there be so much gold and silver...
You got all this food from Dong Zhuo, can you..."
Lu Bu was not happy when he heard this, and said with a sullen face: "I'm talking about brother-in-law! What's the matter, I married your sister, are you still facing outsiders?
It is true that these grains were obtained from Dong Zhuo, but what did you say in the first place?
I made an agreement before killing Dong Zhuo that his property would belong to me afterwards. Are you going to regret it now?
Even though you are young, you should understand the principle of "You have no joke"!
Besides, since Princess Wannian is married to me, I can't let her starve and freeze with me, right?
I have to get some money to support her!
I can give you the food for free, but I’ll give you one million for the princess’s dowry! "
Liu Xie was originally a little afraid of Lu Bu, but now Lu Bu was pressing closer and harder, which frightened him so much that he almost peed his pants, so he had to look at Wang Yun again with an innocent look on his face.
Wang Yun had no choice but to say: "Don't worry, Marquis Wen, I didn't say I wouldn't give you money!
What your Majesty means is that the national treasury is empty, can you let the civil and military officials gather together?
But one hundred thousand gold is not a small amount of money after all. You have to give your Majesty some time, right? "
Lu Bu chuckled and said, "I see, I'm in a hurry, right? Well, if that's the case, you can take your time and I'm not in a hurry. The princess is still young anyway!"
Wang Yun said: "Although there is no rush for the princess' wedding, the people of Xuzhou are still waiting for you, Marquis Wen, to take office!"
Lu Bu frowned and said, "I have to take the money with me when I take office, right? Why don't you let the princess come with me to live in a thatched hut in Xuzhou and drink from the northwest wind?"
I said, Prince, you don’t want to give me a free note and owe me first, right?
Let me just say it up front, this is a small business and I won’t default on it! "
Although Wang Yun was also a cunning person, he had no good way to deal with Lu Bu's rogue behavior, so he had to say that he would collect 100,000 gold within a month.
Lu Bu said: "That's okay, a month? It just happens to be the wedding ceremony between me and Princess Wannian. I wonder what your majesty thinks?"
Now that I am going to Xuzhou, I don’t know when I will be free to come back, so I’d better do it first. Yes or no? "
Where did Liu Xie take the initiative? Just look at Wang Yun.
Wang Yun heard that Lu Bu said that after marrying the princess, he would stay in Xuzhou forever and not come back. Why was he unhappy? He quickly gave Liu Xie a wink to ask him to agree.
In the following days, everyone in Chang'an City was busy preparing for Princess Wannian's wedding.
Although the royal family is declining, marrying a princess cannot be too disrespectful.
The six rites of adoption, asking for a name, accepting a gift, accepting a petition, asking for a date, and welcoming a bride cannot be careless.
"Three songs and nine worships" and "music and dance" are also considered grand.
Almost half of the people in Chang'an City came to watch the fun, which added a festive atmosphere to Chang'an City, which had been devastated by Dong Zhuo's disaster.
Lu Bu didn't worry too much about the size of Princess Le'an's dowry.
After all, he used grain to get a large sum of money from Wang Yun. This amount of money was enough for him to recruit troops and buy horses for a period of time.
The ceremony was completed, and Lu Bu, dressed in a Xuanqi dress, walked into the bridal chamber.
Princess Liu Xiao stood up in a hurry, glanced secretly at the giant who was almost half taller than herself, lowered her head quickly, knelt down and bowed before whispering: "I have seen the consort..."
Lu Bu supported Liu Xiao and said, "Princess, there is no need to be polite."
Liu Xiao's petite body was trembling a little, and her heart was beating hard.
Although she was still an ignorant girl, in this era when early marriage was common, especially when she lived in the palace, she had heard a lot of talk about these matters between men and women from the palace maids.
She also knew what would happen next, and she couldn't help but be afraid, but at the same time she was a little hopeful.
Unexpectedly, Lu Bu said to the door: "You all come in!"
After a while three women walked in at once.
Lu Bu introduced them one by one: "This is my wife Cao, this is Cai Yan, the daughter of Cai Yong, and this is Diao Chan.
From now on, you will all be my women. As the saying goes, everything will be prosperous when everything is harmonious at home. I hope you can live in harmony and love each other as sisters in the future.
Although you are a princess, I don't want you to act like a princess. "
"Yes..." Liu Xiao agreed weakly, feeling a little aggrieved.
Is this giving yourself a thumbs up?
However, the Han Dynasty was in decline, her father Lingdi died, and her brother Liu Xie was young and had no authority at all now. She was just a pawn for Liu Xie to win over Lu Bu.
Although Liu Xiao is young, he is not stupid. He knows that his status in Lu Bu's family depends entirely on how much Lu Bu likes him, so he has long been mentally prepared to please him.
Looking at the situation today, is it his first time to work with these three women?
It's not that Liu Xiao can't accept this.
After all, her father, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, was a notoriously obscene king. Whenever there was a beautiful woman in the harem that caught his eye, he would snatch her away and do obscene things anytime and anywhere.
Even for convenience, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty asked the maids at that time to have their trousers slit to facilitate their actions.
Especially young court ladies aged 14 to 18 years old must wear heavy makeup and be ready to take off their clothes at any time to go to Wushan with Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.
They even spent a lot of money to build thousands of nude swimming pools in Xiyuan to escape the summer heat, and also developed various ways to have fun. It can be said that it has reached a certain level of debauchery.
Later, after the death of Ling Emperor Liu Hongga, Dong Zhuo messed up the government, committed adultery in the harem, and did many unsightly things. Although Liu Xiao was young and was not affected, he also heard about it.
If there are more people, just be more lively...
Anyway, I can’t afford to offend Lu Bu now…
Unexpectedly, Lu Bu asked everyone: "Who should sleep with you today?"
"It's...it's time to become a concubine..." Cai Wenji whispered.
Mrs. Cao coughed and said, "Marquis Wen, today is a happy day for you and the princess..."
"Ah, yes, yes, then you can spend more time with the princess for me."
As he spoke, Lu Bu held Cai Wenji's slim waist with his right hand, and hooked Diao Chan with his left hand and said, "Come on, you two are together today!"
