"Ladies."

"The road is wider now."

"There is no particular order."

"Let's all enter Tongque Square! Whoever falls behind is a puppy!"

Zhao Yu made a "please" gesture.

"good!"

On the viewing platform, Cao Cao was extremely excited.

"That's impressive! No wonder he's my son-in-law!"

"That door was a good move! It made all the difference in layout!"

At the intersection.

Cao Pi and Hongxiu exchanged a glance.

This groom is a ruthless man.

He'd even smash his own front door to stop his wife from fighting with him.

"Lift the sedan chair—!"

"Lift the sedan chair—!"

Two commands were given at the same time.

Two large sedan chairs drove side by side.

There was no scrambling or crowding.

perfect.

At the bottom of the platform, the two brides alighted from their sedan chairs.

365 steps.

It symbolizes peace and safety every year.

But in Zhao Yu's view, this has only one meaning: if you want to get married, you have to work yourself to death first.

It turns out that they specially installed an elevator so that people wouldn't have to climb stairs.

Who knew we'd have to climb in the end?

"Ladies, please."

Zhao Yu was clutching two large red silk ribbons in his hand.

He was holding Cao Jie's hand on the left.

He was holding Sun Shangxiang's hand on the other side.

"Start—Let's go!"

The emcee sang a song, and the three began their ascent.

The initial level 100 was considered respectable.

Cao Jie was dignified and elegant, her every step graceful and refined, fully displaying the upbringing of the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion.

Sun Shangxiang moved with incredible speed; this amount of exercise was hardly even a warm-up for her.

The problem lies with Zhao Yu.

Because it was a wedding, Zhao Yu did not use the system's abilities.

After the previous movements of the large hammer at eighty strokes and the small hammer at forty strokes,

His heavy ceremonial robe, weighing thirty pounds (stuffed with lead), became his biggest burden at that moment.

Every time I lift my leg, it feels like I'm doing a weighted squat.

When you reach level 200,

Zhao Yu was already panting like a broken bellows.

"Huff...huff...who built these steps...so steep..."

Zhao Yu cursed the previous supervisor a hundred times in his heart.

What a waste! Why did they have to build it so tall just for the sake of grandeur?!

"Husband, are you sure you can handle it?"

Sun Shangxiang's teasing voice came from the right.

Through her red veil, she deliberately tugged at the red silk in her hand, pulling Zhao Yu forward.

"If you can't walk, I don't mind carrying you up. I'm used to cross-country with a load anyway."

Do you need help?

"Get out of here, man... Ugh... I can't say no!"

Cao Jie on the left was also a little out of breath.

She sensed that Zhao Yu's pace had slowed down.

They also quietly slowed down.

Using the pull of the red silk, it subtly provided Zhao Yu with some support.

"My lord, calm down. Father and His Majesty are watching from up there."

One left and one right.

One wanted to carry him away.

The other one silently helped him walk.

This is probably a glimpse into my future life, a mix of pain and joy.

at last.

The 365th step.

Zhao Yu stepped one foot onto the platform.

I feel like my legs don't belong to me anymore.

He wanted to just collapse on the ground.

But seeing Cao Cao, Liu Xie, and the officials seated directly in front of him...

I could only force myself to straighten my back.

Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, is not wearing his imperial robes today.

Having changed into casual clothes, he stood in the emcee's position.

When the emperor himself is the master of ceremonies, it becomes a celebrated story.

Open the specially made red silk.

"My beloved ministers, today is the joyous occasion of Zhao Yu's wedding."

"As the officiant at the wedding, I have some things to say beforehand."

The entire room fell silent.

"Several months ago, when I bestowed this marriage upon you, I said that this was a matter of 'goods that are sold and cannot be returned or exchanged.'"

Today, seeing that Minister Zhao, though her legs were weak, managed to climb up with the help of the two ladies, I am greatly pleased.

A burst of good-natured laughter erupted from the audience.

"Now that the goods have been delivered, I will not dwell on those old almanacs today."

Liu Xie unfolded the red silk.

"Given the special circumstances of the Zhao family, which is a 'merger of Wei and Wu,' with equal wives on both sides."

To prevent the Zhao residence from becoming a second battlefield like the Battle of Red Cliffs, I have drafted a set of "Regulations for the Security Management of the Zhao Residence," also known as the "Three Rules!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu's eyelids twitched.

Three rules to be agreed upon?

I'm not Guan Yu, why does that sound like a compliment?

Article 1: Non-aggression Treaty.

"Although the left courtyard (Cao Jie) and the right courtyard (Sun Shangxiang) belong to Wei and Wu respectively, once they enter the Zhao family, they become one family."

If any disputes arise in the future, verbal communication is permitted, but physical violence is not allowed. If you are truly unable to contain your anger…

Liu Xie paused, then looked at Zhao Yu:

"Mixed doubles is allowed for the home team leader, but destroying the base is prohibited!"

The military officers below the stage were laughing so hard they were almost falling over.

Her eyes were filled with sympathy as she looked at Zhao Yu.

I thought it would be a blessing to have two wives, but it turned out to be a mixed doubles match.

Zhao Yu was on the verge of tears.

So I'm just a punching bag?

Liu Xie continued reading:

Article Two: Resource Allocation Treaty

"The Zhao family's financial power was under the overall control of Cao Jie, which was a measure of 'internal stability'."

The security and defense of the Zhao residence are under Shangxiang's overall command; this is the "resistance against external threats."

"As for Zhao Yu..."

He was granted the position of "Stone Lion".

He is responsible for earning money, cooking, and keeping his wife happy, depriving her of the right to "complain about being tired" and "hide secret stashes of money."

"There's a third one..."

Liu Xie stopped smiling.

He lowered his voice and became somewhat mysterious.

"This is my personal instruction to Minister Zhao."

The entire audience perked up their ears.

Liu Xie walked up to Zhao Yu and straightened Zhao Yu's slightly disheveled clothes.

"Minister Zhao, as the saying goes, 'It's not scarcity that's worrisome, but inequality.' When it comes to having two wives, the most taboo thing is to show favoritism."

"Tonight in the bridal chamber, and indeed in our future life together, you must ensure that... everyone receives your favor equally!"

"Remember this! Remember this! If anyone complains, I will hold you responsible!"

Liu Xie's use of the phrase "equal distribution of rain and dew" was deeply moving.

The entire audience understood immediately.

The group of military officers let out a lewd laugh:

"Hehehe, spreading the love evenly... that's hard work."

"General Zhao's small frame is in trouble!"

Ding Yi, his good friend, even looked constipated.

Don't they know that only oxen die from exhaustion?

Even though Cao Jie and Sun Shangxiang were separated by veils, you could feel that their faces were burning up.

How could the emperor behave like this in public!

"Alright, go ahead and pay your respects."

Two women,

Full of charisma

In the middle is Zhao Yu, trembling.

"I bow to Heaven and Earth!"

The three turned around and bowed to the vast sky and earth outside the door.

This bow went relatively smoothly.

Aside from the fact that the iron blocks on Zhao Yu's body were too heavy...

"Bowing to the parents a second time!"

The three turned around to face Cao Cao and Liu Xie, who were seated at the head of the table.

Cao Cao held a teacup in his hand. He had been waiting for so long, and finally, his son-in-law's tea had arrived.

Liu Xie was even more deserving; in the entire world, was there anyone more representative of legal principles than him?

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

This is the main event.

When a normal married couple bows to each other, they face each other directly.

There are three of us now, how should we pray?

Should we bow to the left side first?

Should we bow to the right side first?
