The date of Liu Xie’s wedding was carefully selected by Yang Biao and the Taishi Department, and finally it was held in early May. As for what to say, the Taishi Department can quote scriptures and tell you countless allusions to tell you how auspicious this day is. Anyway, Liu Xie doesn’t understand anything.

As the days pass by, Weiyang Palace, which has been designated as the home court of the wedding, has also added a lot of things under the auspices of Liu Xie.

The Western style of later generations was not completely brought over. China had Chinese etiquette. At least in Liu Xie's view, if the most formal Chinese wedding was not much worse than Western etiquette, it was more about finding craftsmen to change the visual effects of Weiyang Palace.

The palace is extremely solemn, both in the exquisite architecture and in the layout of the building, but this solemnity, in Liu Xie's view, will bring people a strong sense of oppression and make people unable to help but feel pilgrimage. However, it is a bit too solemn when used as a wedding venue.

What Liu Xie wanted was not to leave an impression of being too extravagant on the Gentile envoys. The temperament of a rampant family was a bit inappropriate for the Han Dynasty, which had been in the country for four hundred years.

Solemnity and dignity must be preserved. After all, this is the palace, but on top of it, we need to add some sacredness and warmth, which requires adding some new arrangements to the original structure of the palace.

Liu Xie recalled some of the previous lives that were more likely to make people feel sacred, mostly Buddhist buildings or Western churches. The design and architecture of the building itself are second, and the most important thing is the visual impact brought to people by the eyes.

The theme of the palace is still black and gray, which gives people a bit depressing feeling. After repeated thoughts, Liu Xie decided to use gold as the main color of the Weiyang Palace. As for white, it is a bit unlucky for Chinese traditions. It can be decorated occasionally, but it cannot be too conspicuous.

Of course, after explaining some major issues, Liu Xie did not interfere too much in the work of craftsmen. After all, he is a completely out of the way in such matters. The most feared thing is that laymen guides experts. Liu Xie is not so much a guide, but rather has just put forward some requirements. As for how craftsmen do it, Liu Xie didn't care.

In Liu Xie's words, it's like a mountain to be separated. As for what others think, it depends on their own opinions.

Not only the palace, since it has decided to hold this wedding, and many foreign vendors have come here, they naturally have to take advantage of this opportunity.

Liu Xie, a chamber of commerce composed of Zhen Yao, Su Chi and Zhang Shiping, started to build connections to the Western Regions or recruit some Hu merchants from the Western Regions to join. He did this in his previous life, and in this life, he was naturally very comfortable. The bride gifts sent by the princes were sold to the Western Regions at a high price by the Chamber of Commerce, and some rare treasures sent by the Western Regions were sold to the Central Plains.

With the left hand in and the right hand in, and this time there was no business. In less than a month, the money obtained by the court was enough to meet the taxes collected in the three years of the Ling Emperor's reign, which was national.

Liu Xie had ordered the Chamber of Commerce to form a caravan to go to various countries in the Western Regions to buy food, but the journey was a bit tortuous. He had to bypass Xiliang and transport it to Chang'an via Hetao.

In addition, Liu Xie also asked the caravan to pay attention to collecting seeds from some high-yield crops in the Western Regions to enrich the grain production of the Han Dynasty.

If these goods are to be transported back into grain, Liu Xie estimated that they would have to wait until next year. It would be a smooth situation. After all, the Western Regions are united, and not all the families will sell the face of the big man. However, as long as these foods can be transported back half, it will be enough to make Liu Xie's life more comfortable. Many things that have been planned can be implemented.

Time gradually passed by this busyness without realizing it. In a blink of an eye, it was the day before Liu Xie’s wedding.

The weddings and funerals in the Han Dynasty were actually not complicated, but they mean the common people. When they arrived at the royal family, especially when the emperors were married today, even if the area controlled by the royal family was only Guanzhong, the emperor was still the emperor, and everything was done according to the highest specifications at that time.

Before dawn the next day, Liu Xie was led by the emperor's sister-in-law who suddenly became energetic and Cai Yan, who was invited, and the uterus maids ran from here like puppets.

According to the ancestral rule, we must first worship the ancestors of all dynasties, starting from the generation of Liu Bang's father, and worshipping until Emperor Ling Liu Hong. The series of tedious etiquettes took two hours. By the time Liu Xie came out, the sun had already risen.

Originally, the worship service should have been hosted by the elders of the royal family, but after the rebellion between Dong Zhuo and Li Guo, the Chang'an royal family was either driven out of the court or disappeared. Now, only Liu Yu, Liu Biao and Liu Yan are qualified to be called elders, so naturally they cannot appear in Chang'an. In the end, Liu Ye can only preside over the worship service.

Although it is a bit far away, in terms of seniority, it is still considered Liu Xie's elders.

After worshiping the ancestors of all generations, Liu Xie was surrounded by crowds and went to Lu Bu's mansion to welcome the bride, but was stopped by Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci and others.

"What are you trying to do?" Liu Xie glared and had a bad premonition. These people might not want to mess with him, the emperor.

"Your Majesty, today is a great day. You want to marry this beautiful lady and you will be able to overcome the family." Guo Jia laughed.

"When did you become Lingju's family?" Liu Xie looked at Guo Jia with a dark face.

"This doesn't matter." Guo Jia smiled.

"Tell me, how can Zhen Yao welcome the bride?" Liu Xie looked at Guo Jia and groaned.

"This is for the junior sister." Guo Jia pulled Cai Yan over and blocked Liu Xie. Liu Xie's cannibalism gaze made him feel a little unbearable.

"I will meet your Majesty." When Guo Jia pushed hard, he was almost pushed directly into Liu Xie's arms. Cai Yan's face was a little burned.

"Sister Zhaoji, why are you..." Liu Xie could only smile bitterly. He could still use his eyes to intimidate Guo Jia, but he could not be fierce to Cai Yan.

"Your Majesty, this is a custom in Guanzhong. Your Majesty must serve you or drink a bowl of strong wine to be considered as passing the test." Cai Yan said with a slight blessing and said in a warm voice.

"This..." Liu Xie glared and said for a while: "If I say that Guanguan Jujiu is on the river island, a beautiful lady and a gentleman are good friends, is it considered passing the test?"

Cai Yan smiled but said nothing, but this smile put too much pressure on Liu Xie. He swears that he would never ask for a talented woman if he wanted his wife in this life. That was purely a cause for suffering. Well... why did he say it again?

"It's better to drink a bar." Liu Xie knew it himself, but he could plagiarize some later poems, but only a few people knew it, and no one was suitable for the situation. Now he can only admit that he is unlucky.

"Okay, your majesty is so heroic!" Guo Jia took a tray from the maid's hand, and there was a bowl of sake on it. The strong aroma of wine was just smelled, and Liu Xie knew that this thing was now a famous hero wine in Guanzhong.

Liu Xie felt like he was digging his own grave. If he had known this, he would not have brought out the hero wine at the beginning.

"Your Majesty, please use it." Cai Yan brought the wine bowl over and handed it to Liu Xie.

"This..." Liu Xie looked a little bitter. He had absolute confidence in his alcohol tolerance. If he drank, why would he... be so slutty?

Just as hesitated, he saw Cai Yan squeezing at him and looking at the wine bowl.

Something is a trick!

Liu Xie nodded quietly, took the wine bowl, looked at Cai Yan again. Seeing that she had a wink at her, he couldn't help but be grateful. It seemed that the wine was tampering with it. Although it smelled fragrant, it should be full of water.

Taking a deep breath, he raised his head and poured a bowl of wine into Guo Jia's cheers.

"Cough~" A rich burning heat surged up from the cavity and rushed straight to the top of his head. Liu Xie knew that he had been fooled, so he looked up and glared hard, but he met Cai Yanshuang's innocent eyes.

I endure the days of great joy, so don’t fall into my hands in the future!

My heart was vicious and my face was already red, but I didn't feel drunk too much. It seemed that I had the alcohol tolerance I had in my previous life.

Accompanied by the waiter, Liu Xie first met his future father-in-law, Lu Bu. As the emperor, he did not have to worship anyone who was alive. After just a symbolic ceremony, under the leadership of Lu Bu, Yan and Diao Chan pulled Lu Lingju in red robe to Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty!" In front of Lu Bu's main hall, Lu Bu brought Lu Lingju to Liu Xie with a serious face, and bowed slightly and said: "Although there is a difference between the king and the minister, I only have this daughter. After today, although I marry into the royal family and have different ranks of the superiors and inferiors, I will always be his father."

With some warnings and some reluctance, Liu Xie could see that Lu Bu really loved his daughter.

"Don't worry, father-in-law, you have no jokes!" Liu Xie stood up straight and reached out to hold Lu Lingju's rough palm because he had been practicing guns and sticks all year round. Zheng Xin said: "In this life, as long as the beloved concubine does not surpass etiquette, I will cut her."

"The auspicious time has come!" The emcee's voice sounded outside the door.

"Father, take care of your mother." Lu Lingju looked at her parents reluctantly. Although she had fantasized about marrying into the palace countless times before, at this moment, it was the two families in the future. She suddenly felt reluctant to part with her parents, and her eyes were a little red.

"Don't cry, my daughter of Lu Bu, can't shed tears!" Lu Busen said.

"Here!" Lv Lingju had no choice but to hold back.

Liu Xie was speechless. He could naturally see that Lu Bu was reluctant to part with his daughter. However, his strong and majestic look at Liu Xie was a little funny and moved. As Li Ru and Guo Jia said, the one who can tie Lu Bu the most is not glory, wealth, grand career, but the love of children.
