At this moment, the area in front of us was open and spacious.

A city came into view on the plain.

An official road ran through the city, and pedestrians and merchants on the road gave way when they saw so many soldiers coming.

Liu Wei sent someone to inquire about the location of the Zhen family, and learned that they were located in Zhenjiazhuang, five miles east of Wuji County.

"Wang Fangyi, find me a set of commoner's clothes!"

Liu Wei paused and pondered for a moment, then instructed Wang Fangyi and Yan Da, "You two do not need to follow me. Go to Wuji City and wait for me."

"Xuande, you shall lead your troops, bearing my seal of General Who Guards the North, and serve as my military advisor, to Zhuojun to meet Liu Yu, the Governor of Youzhou!"

Liu Bei and the others were very puzzled and disagreed.

It seemed that it wouldn't be long before they entered Zhuojun in Youzhou, killed the Wuhuan barbarians, and made great achievements.

At this point, Liu Wei actually broke away from the group, disregarding his personal safety, and decided to act alone.

"Your Highness, what are you doing? Why are you all alone?"

The crowd immediately asked, "Has Your Highness forgotten so quickly about the assassination attempt in Luoyang that day?"

"The Zhen family of Wuji is a wealthy and powerful clan. I wish to recruit them into my ranks!"

"I have also heard that the Zhen family has five daughters, all of whom are exceptionally beautiful and skilled in business. It would be a great blessing to marry one of them."

"My purpose in going to the Zhen family is to marry their daughter as my wise and capable wife!"

Liu Wei gazed intently towards Zhenjiazhuang, east of Wuji County, his eyes deep. "In this Jizhou territory now, who would dare to assassinate me?"

Was the world-famous Zhen Ji truly so virtuous, kind, and stunningly beautiful?

She was originally to marry Yuan Shang. After Cao Cao pacified Hebei, he also wanted to take her in, but Cao Pi beat him to it and later made Zhen Ji his empress.

Cao Pi's younger brother, Cao Zhi, who could compose a poem in seven steps, never forgot his sister-in-law and even wrote the poem "Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River" for her.

A woman who had been married before was able to captivate the three members of the Cao family, father and sons; she must have something extraordinary about her.

Now that I have the opportunity to take her in, of course I should act quickly. How could I let such a wonderful woman be ruined by so many people?

Liu Wei wasn't actually lusting after her body; he just wanted to give her a better future!

Moreover, he received different rewards from the system for sleeping with Cai Yan in Hetao and taking Lady Zou in Hongnong.

So if you know that winning over Zhen Mi will guarantee you a win, why miss the chance?

Moreover, she has four older sisters...

As Liu Wei pondered this, a strange fire rose within him.

A few nights ago, Liu Wei left a jade pendant as a keepsake for the courtesan in Pingyuan City.

If you have a child, you can come to Luoyang to find him in two years!

If not, then consider it a one-night stand between the two.

He also explained that Jian Yong and Fu Shiren were secretly taking care of him.

The woman, clutching the jade pendant, tearfully agreed, saying she would remain chaste for him and one day bring her son to Luoyang to find her father.

Human kindness still exists, and its essence is found everywhere!

Wang Fangyi and Yan Da immediately accepted the order and left.

They didn't question what their lord wanted to do; they simply followed orders.

Upon hearing Liu Wei's words, Liu Bei inwardly grumbled.

You, prince, must already have a harem of wives and concubines in the borderlands. You haven't forgotten to find women while passing through Zhongshan Kingdom!

Shameless!

They only want one woman, but you want them all. Can't you arrange a few for the three of us single brothers?

Does having power and influence mean you can do whatever you want?

"A beautiful and graceful lady is the object of a gentleman's affections!"

Liu Bei muttered to himself, but asked seriously, "It's a blessing for the Zhen family that Your Highness has taken a liking to their daughter!"

"Without the prince even bringing it up, the Zhen family will offer their daughters to curry favor."

Scholars, farmers, soldiers, artisans, and merchants!

At the time, it was considered a lowly profession for business people to engage in speculation, profit from price differences, and have the lowest social status.

The Zhen family was originally an official family, but they chose to go into business, which is simply self-degradation.

For Liu Wei, a prince of the Han Dynasty, to marry the daughter of a merchant is a form of social savvy and a way to help the poor.

If the Zhen family could climb up to the prince's back, coupled with their wealth, their fortunes would soar to new heights.

Liu Wei, however, said with a deeply affectionate expression:

"I say this daughter of the Zhen family is extraordinary; she is definitely worthy of being a wife!"

Zhen Mi is destined to be an empress in the future. If Liu Wei takes her in, he can't treat her too poorly!

Liu Wei had also worried about the woman he now had.

Before becoming emperor, he had three wives and four concubines; after becoming emperor, he had three palaces and six courtyards!

The position of principal wife has already been promised to Liu Hua, and will be reserved for her daughter, Fu Shou, who will become empress in the future!

He had two concubines, one of whom he had already promised to Diaochan.

After all, it was evident to all that Yao Guangxiao had presided over a joint wedding ceremony with five thousand of his men at the top of Shanwu City.

Although Diao Chan was once Empress Dowager Dong's spy, the two have long since reconciled, and Diao Chan is now pregnant.

As the first woman he encountered in this time and space, he couldn't be treated unfairly.

Liu Wei originally intended to reserve the other position as a secondary wife for Princess Salde of Loulan, who was waiting for him to return to Loulan City in the Western Regions, and to hold a grand wedding in front of the kings and envoys of the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions!

Cai Yan, a woman who had been married before, had no objection to being a concubine, especially since she wanted to pursue her educational career!

Zou Ling and Liu Yifei were born into humble circumstances, and they were already quite content to be concubines!

Now that Zhen Mi has arrived, where should we place her?

At worst, I'll have another equal wife position. My woman is my own woman, why should I care about these etiquette constraints?

Emperors had three thousand concubines in their harems, yet they were never seen worrying about this ranking.

Seeing that Liu Wei was determined, Liu Bei stopped trying to dissuade him and simply asked, "Why does Your Highness want to change into plain clothes before going?"
