Three Kingdoms: Start by buying a governor.

Then there's Zhen Rong.

She doesn't talk much, but her eyes speak volumes.

"Rong'er..." Liu Ce held her hand.

"Husband..." Zhen Rong leaned on his shoulder.

Tender and lingering, like a gentle stream flowing endlessly.

Zhen Rong enjoyed the process and cherished it.

"My husband, please come often from now on."

"must."

Afterwards, she said to Liu Ce, "Husband, how about we try different positions next time? I saw some in erotic pictures..."

Liu Ce quickly covered her mouth, saying, "Rong'er! How can you say such things so casually!"

Zhen Rong blinked and said, "It's just the two of us in the house!"

...

Finally, there is Zhen Mi.

When Liu Ce entered the room, she was sitting on the edge of the bed, her hands trembling with nervousness.

"Mi'er." Liu Ce walked over and sat down next to her.

"Husband..." Zhen Mi looked up at him, her eyes watery.

Liu Ce reached out and pulled her into his arms: "Don't be nervous."

Zhen Mi leaned against his chest and whispered, "My lord, I... am a little scared."

Liu Ce smiled slightly, kissed her forehead, and said, "Mi'er, I'll be careful. If you... just tell me..."

Zhen Mi nodded, gave Liu Ce a deep look, and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, yet every word was clear:

"Please, my husband, cherish me..."

Liu Ce kissed her deeply...

...soft whispers and panting intertwined.

Zhen Mi... though a little inexperienced,... is mostly filled with sweetness and exploration.

......

(666 words omitted here, but in short, it's very gentle and caring... It's not that the author is lazy, it's that the censors won't allow it.)

The matter was completed in less than half an hour.

Zhen Mi nestled in Liu Ce's arms, tracing circles on his chest with her fingers, and whispered, "Husband... I like you very much."

"Silly girl," Liu Ce hugged her tighter, "I like you very much too."

Zhen Mi smiled contentedly, found a comfortable position in his arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at her youthful face, Liu Ce felt a surge of protectiveness.

"I will protect you all for the rest of my life."

Liu Ce held her close, feeling the warmth and softness in his arms, his heart overflowing with joy.

Ten wives, ten wedding nights.

The Golden Kidney plays an indispensable role!

...

For the next month or so, Liu Ce lived a life of "pain and pleasure".

During the day, he handles government affairs, inspects military camps, and meets with officials...

In the evenings, he would take turns visiting the ladies' rooms and showering them with affection.

The ladies gradually got used to this life—during the day, the sisters would get together to play cards and chat, and at night they would wait for their husbands to come.

Fortunately, thanks to the Golden Kidney, Liu Ce not only wasn't drained, but his energy improved, and he became radiant, which amazed Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai.

"My lord's married life is so blissful!"

"Look at that complexion, rosy and radiant!"

"As expected of our lord, you're in excellent health!"

Liu Ce smiled without saying a word, thinking to himself: You guys don't know anything, this is the power of cheat codes!

The ladies all looked radiant. Although they were a bit "tired" at night, they were full of energy during the day, thanks to the nourishment of love.

As the principal wife, Cai Yan managed the inner court impeccably. The ten sisters got along well and never quarreled. During the day, they did needlework, played mahjong, and studied together; at night... well, they waited for their husbands' favor.

The backyard is harmonious, and the front yard is peaceful.

Liu Ce was very satisfied.

But what he didn't know was that someone in Luoyang was unhappy.

...

The Yuan residence.

"What? Prince Liu Ce of Yan married ten women at once? And he didn't follow the ancient custom of having the principal wife and concubines enter the household on the same day?" Yuan Wei's eyes lit up when he heard the scout's report.

"Yes," the scout said, "the news has spread throughout Youzhou that the Prince of Yan broke the rules by marrying ten beauties at once, which has become a legendary tale."

"A fine story?" Yuan Wei said, "This is a violation of regulations! It's an overstepping of authority!"

He suddenly laughed.

His smile was sinister.

"Good, very good." He slammed his hand on the table. "Liu Ce, Liu Ce, you've finally given me some leverage!"

According to ancient customs, there was a strict procedure for taking a wife and concubines: one must first marry a principal wife, and only after a period of time could one take concubines. To marry ten at once? That's against the rules!

He immediately summoned representatives from prominent families.

Yang Ci, Yuan Feng, and several other heads of families gathered at Yuan's residence.

"Gentlemen, Liu Ce's actions are a grave violation of propriety!" Yuan Wei declared righteously. "Taking a concubine before even marrying a principal wife is already wrong. But he goes and marries them all at once, even mixing the weddings of his principal wife and concubines together! This is a trampling of propriety!"

Yang Ci frowned and said, "It is indeed against the rules. But Liu Ce is the Prince of Yan, and His Majesty favors him. I'm afraid... Moreover, he has military merits, so His Majesty may not punish him severely."

"What are we afraid of?" Yuan Feng slammed his fist on the table. "Even a prince is subject to the law! ...At the very least, His Majesty will only issue a few words of reprimand and embarrass him a little, and our goal will be achieved. We will jointly submit a memorial requesting His Majesty to punish him severely!"

"Yes! Submit a joint petition!"

The powerful clans had long disliked Liu Ce—not only was he made a king, but he also controlled the military affairs of three provinces, and now he was so arrogant.

We must suppress them!

...

A few days later, the group arrived at the palace and requested an audience with Liu Hong.

Inside the Greenhouse Palace, Liu Hong leaned lazily against the dragon throne and said, "My esteemed ministers, what is it?"

Yuan Wei stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, we wish to impeach Liu Ce, the Prince of Yan!"

"Oh?" Liu Hong raised an eyebrow. "Impeach the Prince of Yan for what?"

"The Prince of Yan has violated the rules!" Yuan Wei exclaimed passionately. "He has disregarded ancient customs, taking concubines before marrying his principal wife, and even marrying his principal wife and nine secondary consorts on the same day! This is a grave disrespect for etiquette and a trampling of royal rules!"

Other powerful ministers echoed this sentiment:

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Yan's actions have set a terrible precedent!"

"If all members of the royal family follow suit, the rules of propriety will be completely destroyed!"

"Your Majesty, we beg you to severely punish the Prince of Yan to set an example!"

They spoke with great passion, their spittle flying as they went. They elevated Liu Ce's act of "marrying ten women at once" to the level of "violating etiquette, disgracing the imperial family, and shaking the foundation of the state."

Liu Hong listened, secretly pleased: "My brother is amazing! Marrying ten at once! Not bad, not bad at all, he's really bringing honor to our Liu family! It seems he's truly listening to me and is hurrying to have more children!"

I once had the most concubines in one night, yet he dared to marry ten?

Playing cards again? What kind of cards are so fun? I'll get myself a deck to play with sometime.

He was secretly overjoyed, but he had to keep a straight face.

He said calmly, "I understand."

The ministers from the powerful families were taken aback.

Got it? And then what?

Yuan Wei gave Yuan Feng a meaningful look.

Yuan Feng stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, then... how should we deal with the Prince of Yan?"

Liu Hong repeated his previous statement: "I understand."

Read but replied randomly.

The powerful ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.

One stubborn official couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty! The Prince of Yan has violated regulations, a matter concerning the very foundation of propriety and law! We beg Your Majesty to make a judgment!"

Liu Hong frowned and said coldly, "I understand. Is there anything else?"

The impatience in those words was quite obvious.
