Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 512: The "Frustrated" Young Marquis in a World of Female Dominance

Lu Liluo was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "Isn't Mu Bai still a child? How can he talk about serving the emperor in bed?"

"Your Majesty~"

Yuan Xianjun was helpless.

"Mu Bai is already seventeen this year, how can he still be a child? Have you forgotten that you personally presided over his coming-of-age ceremony last year..."

Lu Liluo then remembered that this seemed to be the case.

Men in Dongchi Country have their coming-of-age ceremony at the age of sixteen, and then they can get married. Of course, there are also many people like Yuan Mubai who get married at a young age.

Generally, the wife will not hold a coming-of-age ceremony for her husband, and only a few will wait until her husband becomes an adult before consummating the marriage.

Lu Liluo had watched Yuan Mubai grow up, so she certainly wouldn't miss such a small thing, so she arranged a wedding for him. As for consummating the marriage, she really didn't think about it at all.

She has been busy day and night in the past few years, and the results are not just a few children and her improved cultivation. Now the national strength of Dongchi Kingdom has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

Under the leadership of the virtuous Lu Chengfeng, the country's agriculture improved, grain production increased, and the variety increased, so that the common people could basically afford to eat.

On this basis, Lu Liluo was not idle either.

Many safe houses for producing and nurturing fruits have been built all over the country. The output and pregnancy rate of fruits have steadily increased, but the price has continued to fall.

As a result, Dongchi's birth rate soared, driving the country's economy and consumption to grow rapidly. This was coupled with the support of the Shang Empire run by Yuan Xianjun.

As well as the steady improvement in military and social security, etc., how could Lu Liluo have the time to think about sleeping with another man?

After hearing what Yuan Xianjun said today, did she really have fresh meat to eat? She felt a little embarrassed.

"What does Mu Bai think?"

I still have to ask more questions. What if I touch it rashly at night and get kicked out of bed? How embarrassing...

"Mu Bai has long admired Your Majesty, and naturally hopes day and night that Your Majesty will show His grace and favor."

Yuan Xianjun didn't care at all.

This is how it is in Dongchi Country. Polyandry is normal. There are very few people like Your Majesty who don't value men (big mistake). Besides, Mu Bai is his younger brother, and marriage is his responsibility.

Isn't it that I can put my mind at ease if my younger brother consummates his marriage with His Majesty as soon as possible?

Lu Liluo felt relieved after hearing this.

So that night, red candles were lit in the palace for the first time in a long time, and wedding curtains were hung.

It seemed that clusters of fireworks were burning in the Imperial Garden.

In the Chengguang Palace where he used to live, Yuan Mubai, dressed in a bright red gauze dress, sat on a bed covered with peanuts, longans and red dates, nervously twisting his slender fingers.

At present, he is just a talented person, so according to the rules, he cannot wear bright red.

This gauze dress was sent by Tang Jiting himself. After all, he was raised by his brothers, and he was no different from his own brother, without so many rules.

Besides, a gauze dress is not a proper wedding gown.

At this important moment in a man's life, Tang Jiting felt that it was more important to make Yuan Mubai happy.

Through the gap in the wedding curtain, Yuan Mubai stole a glimpse of Lu Liluo, who was wearing a red robe, with a slender figure and a handsome face like a god, and was walking towards him slowly with a smile.

This is the woman I have admired since I could remember. She is so beautiful, noble, compassionate, and wise.

In a trance, the woman's hand had already gently lifted his chin. A pair of eyes seemed to look straight into his heart:

"Let me see, our Mu Bai has grown up..."

A cool and smiling voice.

Yuan Mubai felt his heart beating rapidly, and his beautiful face quickly turned red. He stammered:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Shh~"

Lu Liluo put his finger to his lips, silencing him. He bent down, easily lifted the person up, and walked towards the newly built hot spring pool next door...

The veil falls, the jade belt droops slightly; the room is filled with spring light, gentle and affectionate...

The bamboo shoots bathed in the rain are charming in spring, and the wind blows hard all night long.

The waiter lifted up Jiao's weakness, and it was Xincheng Enzeshi.

Lu Liluo was a newly promoted Golden Core Great Perfection cultivator, full of passion and enthusiasm. How could a rookie like Yuan Mubai agree to his request?

You will have to beg for mercy frequently.

Considering that the boy was still young and it was his virgin night, Lu Li Luo let him go.

I slept well all night holding him in my arms.

The next day, he got up early and ordered someone to convey the imperial decree, promoting Lu Chengfeng from the lowest position of the Four Lords, Dejun, directly to Huangguijun.

The vacant position of Dejun was given to Yuan Mubai.

The reason why Lu Chengfeng's position was raised so high was mainly to reward his contribution to promoting agriculture.

In recent years, Lu Chengfeng's hands-on and down-to-earth attitude has not only improved the variety and yield of grain and crops, but has also effectively promoted the farming and pragmatic atmosphere of the entire Dongchi State.

Following Lu Chengfeng's personal example, many aristocratic men who had nothing to do lowered their status and personally took root in their own small plots of land.

People are fiddling with vegetables and tending to fruit trees. Now, even greenhouse vegetable cultivation and fruit tree grafting have been developed.

Of course Lu Liluo had to commend Lu Chengfeng.

The other husbands naturally had no objection and they were also convinced by this.

Although everyone was not from a high background, none of them were as humble as Lu Chengfeng and willing to endure hardships.

His position is high, but it was earned through hard work.

Yuan Xianjun, in particular, was not at all dissatisfied with the sudden pressure of more people on him. Instead, he was secretly glad.

You know, there are only six men in the harem, and the Yuan family has two of these high-ranking men. How could they have done that? The entire court, both civil and military, is watching. If his rank were to rise any further, it would be embarrassing.

The current situation is just right. My younger brother has a lower position, so even if he has a daughter, it won't cause anyone to be jealous.

. . .

Fifty miles south of the capital.

Laizigou Village.

A clear river flows through the village. Beside some large rocks by the river, a group of men, their sleeves rolled up, are washing clothes barefoot.

While washing, they laughed and chatted about the latest gossip they had heard recently.

"Have you heard that our Dongchi Kingdom now has a princess."

"Really? That's great. Who is it?"

"Who could it be? It must be the eldest daughter born to our Emperor Tang."

"Yes, yes, I've heard that too... I've also heard that our princess is incredibly intelligent. She's only six years old, but she's already capable of writing and riding a horse to kill enemies."

"Is this true? You're just making this up, right? Take my cousin's eldest grandson, for example. He's seven years old this year and goes to the town's public school to learn Chinese characters. He learns ten Chinese characters a day, but forgets eight of them by the time he gets home..."

"Bah, with your Ma family's little incense, you are not worthy of being compared with our princess. Brother Hu, I think you have drunk too much horse urine, Hu Qin!"

"Hahahaha"

The group of men laughed heartily.

Not far away, a chubby man was lowering his head, concentrating on washing a pile of clothes at hand.

His drooping hair obscured his face, and his forlorn figure stood out from the crowd of cheerful people. A swollen face and gloomy brows appeared in the river water. Who else could it be but Wei Shimu?
