"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Commander Fang knelt down with heartfelt admiration, prostrating himself before Liu Fu three times. Tears welled up in his eyes, making it difficult for him to see clearly. However, Commander Fang was filled with excitement, moved to tears, satisfied, and trembling with fear. A variety of unexpected emotions surged into his heart at once.
Without realizing it, Liu Fu won over another person's heart, making Commander Fang work wholeheartedly under his command.
Just as Commander Fang knelt down and wept, the people on the other side also turned their gazes in this direction. They also learned what was happening in front of Liu Fu at this moment. While looking incredulous and disbelief, they were all moved to tears and knelt down as well, expressing their gratitude to Commander Fang.
In fact, Liu Fu did not feel that he had done them any favors; he was just apologizing. How could apologizing for his mistake be considered a favor to these people?
Liu Fu immediately helped them up and also helped the other people stand up from the ground.
This is all because Liu Fu is a modern person. As a modern person, Liu Fu feels that these things are things that one learns innately, but in ancient times, this was not easy.
In ancient times, the monarchs were the most noble members of the royal family. They would not easily admit their mistakes or show weakness to the lowly common people. Even if officials committed serious crimes, even crimes punishable by death, the common people who wanted to file a complaint with the government office had to first receive 30 strokes of the cane on their buttocks before they could formally file a complaint.
In this situation, one can easily imagine the status of officials and the status of ordinary people.
Moreover, Liu Fu is not an official, Liu Fu is the emperor!
This is a level higher than an official position. For such a person to come out and apologize with such a sincere attitude, how could these people not feel that they have received Liu Fu's favor?
At that very moment, even Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu, and Hai Rui knelt before Liu Fu with heartfelt admiration.
This time, Liu Fu knew he had definitely done the right thing, and he was as happy as a child.
"Your Majesty, don't be so smug now that you've gotten such a good deal. Let's hurry back to the palace. These people are about to start rehearsing the performances for your wedding celebration in three days. You can't watch them here. Come with me now."
Despite the fierce scolding Hai Rui gave Liu Fu just now, he was now addressing Liu Fu as "Your Majesty" with great intimacy, completely different from before. Liu Fu couldn't help but sigh, "This guy really knows how to separate public and private matters very clearly."
It's so great to have someone like that around!
Liu Fu felt it was good to have Hai Rui by his side. In fact, Hai Rui also felt that having a monarch like Liu Fu was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, and that he had finally met a true master who could give full play to his learning.
Liu Fu originally wanted to stay here to see what kind of celebrations the people had prepared for his wedding, but everyone was keeping it a secret and wanted to give him a surprise on his wedding day. Since that was the case, Liu Fu didn't insist.
Two more days passed in the blink of an eye, and more and more people gathered in the eastern city. At this time, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the two talents who had been sent to Liu Laowu to help him govern the country, also returned.
Liu Fu knew that both of these guys had returned, and his father, Liu Laowu, must have already arrived in Dongcheng.
In fact, Liu Bin had sent someone to pick up his father, Liu Laowu, several days ago. However, Liu Laowu had not given a clear answer as to when he would arrive in Liaodong. But now that he had finally arrived, Liu Fu no longer had to worry about his father's safety all the time.
"Eighth Brother, you're getting married tomorrow, so where are our in-laws? As the emperor, I have to know some manners. Let's meet with your future in-laws beforehand, don't you think?"
Not only did Liu Laowu, the emperor's father, come, but soon Liu Fu's seventh brother and his brothers also arrived in Liaodong, along with his three sisters and their husbands. All these princes, princesses, and imperial sons-in-law gathered together, making the entire palace even more lively.
Even Liu Fu was starting to wonder why it had dragged on until now. What was Xiao Ying'er doing? Where were her family members?
The Liao emperor has already arrived in Liaodong, and the new emperor of the Jin dynasty has also come to offer his congratulations ahead of time. However, the Xiao family has not yet arrived, and no one knows why.
Liu Fu originally wanted to go and ask Xiao Ying'er what was going on, but with only one day left until his wedding, the groom was not allowed to meet the bride according to custom.
Liu Fu himself had no way to urge her, so he had to ask his sisters to inquire about what was going on with Xiao Ying'er.
When the three princesses arrived at the bride's room, Xiao Ying'er had already prepared all the wedding items: a bright red wedding dress embroidered with gold phoenixes, a golden crown with tassels, various kinds of rouge and powder, and other decorations, such as a jade ruyi and an embroidered fan...
"Oh my, our dear little sister looks so beautiful. Our eighth brother is going to be a lucky man in the future."
"Who says otherwise? Our little sister is truly a beauty that rivals the heavens and shames the moon and flowers. Eighth brother, you must treat our little sister well from now on, otherwise you can come and complain to us, your older sisters, and we will teach your little brother a lesson and stand up for you."
The three princesses had heard of Xiao Ying'er's beauty before, but they were truly shocked when they saw her today.
After exchanging pleasantries, they began to inquire about Xiao Ying'er's family.
"Hey sister, what's going on? Where are your family members? Father has come all the way to Liaodong to inquire about them. They're our Liu family's in-laws, so we have to treat them with the utmost respect. Father wants to see them right now. Where are they?"
"They've been in Dongcheng for quite some time now."
Judging from Xiao Ying'er's reply, it seemed that she was not lying. The three princesses were somewhat surprised when they heard this. Had the Xiao family already arrived in Dongcheng?
How come they themselves didn't know, and Liu Fu and his people didn't know either? This was right under Liu Fu's nose, so it was really strange that even Liu Fu didn't know about this.
"Hey girl, I heard you don't get along with your family. Is that true? You mustn't mistreat them. After all, they're your family, and relatives of the Liu family."
The second sister then asked directly:
"Where are the girls? Let's go meet them now."
Xiao Ying'er is truly ruthless. Her next words shocked the three princesses so much that they were speechless and unable to accept it.
"They are now imprisoned in the death row of the fiefdom."
"ah?????"
