The mood in the room brightened further at the mention of the wedding, and all eyes turned to the bride-to-be. Yu Yan was the first to speak, her voice filled with motherly pride. "Wannian, my dear, the wedding is only a few months away. How are you feeling? It must be such an exciting time for you."

Wannian smiled, though there was a hint of shyness in her expression. "It is, Mother. I'm excited, but also a little nervous. There's so much to prepare, and I want everything to be perfect."

Diao Chan, ever the voice of reason and grace, leaned in with a gentle smile. "You don't have to worry too much, Wannian. Weddings can be overwhelming, but the most important thing is the love you and Sima Yi share. Everything else will fall into place."

Cai Wenji added, "I remember feeling the same way before I married your brother. It's natural to want everything to go smoothly, but it's also important to enjoy the process. This is your moment, and it's the beginning of a new chapter in your life."

The other women nodded in agreement, offering their own words of reassurance. Lu Lingqi, though less experienced in matters of marriage and the domestic sphere, spoke with her characteristic straightforwardness. "Sima Yi is a good man. He's intelligent and strategic, just like you, Wannian. You'll make a powerful couple."

Wannian blushed at the compliments but seemed more at ease. "Thank you, big sisters. I'm lucky to have such a supportive family around me. And I know Sima Yi and I will face whatever challenges come our way, just as all of you have in your own marriages."

Yu Yan placed a hand on her daughter's, her eyes shining with affection. "We're all so proud of you, Wannian. You've grown into a strong, intelligent woman, and Sima Yi is fortunate to have you as his wife. The wedding will be a beautiful celebration of that."

As they continued to talk about the upcoming marriage, the conversation naturally turned to the details of the event itself. Ying Yue, ever the planner, was quick to ask about the arrangements. "Have you and Sima Yi decided on the ceremony details yet? Do you need any help with the preparations?"

Wannian nodded, looking a little overwhelmed by the thought of it all. "We've started planning, but there's still so much to do. The guest list, the decorations, the banquet… it's a lot to organize."

Yu Yan, always prepared, smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry, Wannian. We've been through this before, and we'll help you with everything. Your father and I will make sure the ceremony is grand and befitting of the Lie Clan's stature, and your brothers and sisters will assist with the finer details."

Ying Yue leaned in conspiratorially. "And if you need help with the dress or anything else, I'll be happy to assist. We want you to feel like a princess on your special day."

The mention of the wedding dress caused a flurry of excitement among the women, with each offering ideas and suggestions. Diao Chan, known for her refined taste, offered to help design a gown that would reflect both the elegance of the Han traditions and Wannian's own personality.

"We can blend traditional elements with something unique to you," Diao Chan said thoughtfully. "Sima Yi is a man of intellect and refinement, and you are a woman of strength and grace. Your dress should reflect that."

Wannian smiled, her earlier nerves fading in the face of such warm support. "I would love that, Sister Diao Chan. Thank you. I want the wedding to be a reflection of both our families and who we are as a couple."

The conversation continued, with laughter and joy filling the room as the women bonded over the exciting event to come. They discussed the decorations, the food, and the entertainment, each offering their own expertise to ensure that the wedding would be a grand success.

Yet beneath the excitement, there was also a deeper sense of unity. As the women worked together to plan Wannian's wedding, they were also reinforcing the bonds that held the Lie family together. In this time of great political upheaval and uncertainty, these moments of family and connection were all the more precious.

Yu Yan, watching her daughters-in-law and daughter laughing and planning together, felt a deep sense of satisfaction. This was what she had always hoped for—for her family to be strong, united, and full of love. No matter the challenges that lay ahead, she knew that as long as they stood together, they could face anything.

As the evening drew to a close, Yu Yan stood and gathered the women together for one final piece of advice. "Remember, all of you, that family is our greatest strength. As we prepare for this wedding, and for all the challenges ahead, never forget that we are stronger together. Lean on each other, support each other, and we will always thrive."

The women nodded, their hearts full of gratitude and love. And as they left the living room to retire for the night, there was a sense of peace that lingered in the air—a feeling that no matter what trials the future might bring, the Lie family would face them together, united and strong.

The next day, the atmosphere in Xiapi's Governor's Castle was significantly more formal and tense than the evening of familial bonding at the Lie Clan residence. The great council room was filled with some of the sharpest minds of the era, all gathered around the imposing wooden table in the center of the hall. The sound of discussion, punctuated by the occasional scratch of a quill on parchment, filled the room as Lie Fan's advisors were in the midst of a crucial meeting.

Lie Fan sat at the head of the table, his posture commanding yet calm. He looked around the room, his eyes settling on each of his counselors as they contributed their thoughts.

Jia Xu, Xun You, Chen Qun, Liu Ye, Chen Gong, Lu Su, Sima Yi, Chen Gui, Yi Ji, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Cai Yong, Zhuge Xuan, Lu Zhi, Man Chong, Mao Jie, and Zhuge Jin were all present. Each one of them represented a different aspect of Lie Fan's administration, from military strategy to civil governance, and each brought their unique perspective to the discussion at hand.

The topic on the table was the grand celebration that would mark the completion of Xiapi's extensive expansion project. The city had grown significantly under Lie Fan's leadership, with the new outer walls and the entire outer section of the city finished and fortified.

Xiapi was now two or three times its original size, and the project had transformed the city into a sprawling hub of trade, governance, and military power. Such a monumental achievement required a celebration of equal grandeur, and Lie Fan wanted the event to reflect the city's importance.

"As you all know," Lie Fan began, his voice carrying the weight of leadership, "the expansion of Xiapi is complete. This city is no longer just a stronghold but a beacon of our power, stability, and future prosperity. To commemorate this, I wish to hold a grand celebration that will last well into the night. The people have worked hard, and they deserve to celebrate their achievements alongside us."

He paused for a moment, letting the significance of the moment sink in before continuing. "I envision this celebration to be unlike any other. It should be an event that not only honors the completion of the expansion but also solidifies the unity between the government, the military, and the people. I want the city to come alive with festivities, but also with a display of our technological advancements."

He gestured toward a small scroll on the table in front of him. "I've given much thought to this, and I believe the perfect way to conclude the evening will be with fireworks. A grand display that will light up the night sky, symbolizing the bright future we have built here in Xiapi."

There was a moment of quiet murmuring among the council members as they absorbed the plan. Jia Xu, ever cautious and calculating, leaned forward slightly, his sharp eyes focused on Lie Fan.

"Fireworks, my lord?" he asked thoughtfully. "They would indeed be a spectacle the likes of which the people have never seen. However, with such a large gathering of the populace, we must be sure that the security is tight. Any sign of weakness or disorder during such a high-profile event could be seen as an opportunity by our enemies."

Lie Fan nodded. "You're right, Wenhe. Security is of paramount importance. I've already considered this. I want patrols increased throughout the city. The guards must be vigilant both in the streets and on the walls. Additionally, I'll have the Oriole in place, watching from the shadows to ensure no disruptions occur."

Man Chong, who had been quietly listening until now, added his own thoughts. "The outer walls of Xiapi are newly completed, and this celebration will be the perfect opportunity to test their defense and our military readiness. We can position additional forces around the key entry points to ensure that nothing happens unexpectedly. It would also serve as a reminder to any would-be invaders that Xiapi is well-defended."

Xun You, the brilliant strategist who had helped Lie Fan in numerous campaigns, nodded in agreement. "Man Chong raises a good point. Not only should we increase patrols, but we can also use this celebration as an opportunity to showcase our military strength subtly. Have our elite troops stationed at strategic locations, not as an oppressive force, but as a visible deterrent."

The conversation continued as Chen Gong leaned forward, offering his thoughts. "My lord, the people will certainly be thrilled by the fireworks and the celebrations, but we must ensure that the festivities are not only about entertainment. This is also an opportunity to highlight the achievements of your rule. We should take time during the celebration to address the people, to remind them of the progress we've made, and to inspire them to continue supporting your vision."

Lu Su, ever the diplomat, agreed. "Yes, a speech from you, Lord Lie Fan, will help strengthen the bond between the government and the people. We can also honor key figures who have contributed to the expansion—builders, architects, and soldiers alike. This will show that every citizen, no matter their station, has played a part in Xiapi's success."

Lie Fan nodded approvingly at the suggestions. "I will address the people during the celebration, and we will make sure to honor those who have made this achievement possible. This is a moment for all of us, from the highest-ranking officials to the common laborers."

The room fell quiet for a moment as the advisors considered the various elements that would go into planning such an event. It was no small task to coordinate a celebration of this magnitude, especially one that would last well into the night and involve so many moving parts.

The room fell quiet for a moment as the advisors considered the various elements that would go into planning such an event. It was no small task to coordinate a celebration of this magnitude, especially one that would last well into the night and involve so many moving parts.

Chen Qun, the meticulous administrator, spoke up next. "We must also consider the logistics, my lord. Fireworks require careful preparation, and we'll need experts to ensure they are handled safely. Additionally, the influx of people into the city could strain our resources. We should increase our supplies of food and drink to accommodate the larger crowds, and set up temporary stalls and vendors throughout the city to distribute them."

Mi Zhu, who was responsible for much of the financial management of Xiapi, nodded in agreement. "The economic impact of such a celebration will be significant, but it could also be an opportunity. With the expansion of the city, we've attracted new merchants and traders. This event will showcase Xiapi as a thriving trade hub, encouraging even more commerce in the future."

Yi Ji, the quiet but astute adviser, added, "And we mustn't forget the cultural aspect. A grand celebration like this could include not just fireworks and feasts, but also performances—music, theater, and poetry readings. It would elevate the event beyond just a military or political statement and showcase the cultural richness of Xiapi."

Cai Yong, the renowned scholar and artist, smiled at Yi Ji's suggestion. "I would be happy to contribute to such performances, my lord. Perhaps we could invite renowned poets and musicians from across the region to perform at the event. It would show that Xiapi is not only a center of strength but of learning and culture."

Lie Fan considered all these suggestions carefully, weighing the different components of what would be a historic event for the city. The celebration would be a chance to showcase the strength, unity, and culture of Xiapi, and it was vital that every aspect of it was executed perfectly.

Finally, Sima Yi, who had been listening quietly for most of the meeting, spoke up. His tone was measured but thoughtful. "My lord, everything discussed so far is necessary for the success of this event, but there is one more consideration. Timing."

Lie Fan raised an eyebrow. "Go on."

Sima Yi continued, "We must be strategic in when we hold this celebration. While it marks the completion of the expansion, it could also serve as a reminder to our enemies of your growing power. Holding the celebration at a time when we are at full military readiness, perhaps shortly after strengthening our alliances or consolidating power in nearby regions, would send a clear message. Not just to our people, but to anyone watching."

A murmur of agreement spread through the room as the others considered Sima Yi's point.

Lie Fan nodded thoughtfully. "You're right, Sima Yi. The timing must be carefully considered. We will hold the celebration when we are ready, and when we can make the greatest impact."

He stood, signaling the end of the meeting. "Thank you all for your contributions. We have much work ahead of us to make this celebration a success, but I have no doubt that it will be a defining moment for Xiapi and for all of us. Let's begin preparations."

With that, the meeting adjourned, and the council members filed out of the hall, already discussing the next steps. Lie Fan remained for a moment, looking out over the city through the large windows of the hall. Xiapi had grown into a beacon of strength and prosperity under his leadership, and this celebration would be a testament to that.

But even as he looked forward to the festivities, Lie Fan knew that this moment was not just about celebration. It was a signal to the world that he was ready for whatever challenges lay ahead and beginning to show his ambition.

With his advisors at his side, his army ready, and his people united, Lie Fan felt confident that they would face the future with strength and determination.

The grand celebration would be a public display of his city's growth and prosperity, but privately, he knew it was much more. It was the beginning of a new era in Xiapi, one that would place him among the most powerful warlords of the era, even if he hadn't yet openly declared his ambition.

While others, like Cao Cao, had made their desires clear, Lie Fan remained quietly building his power base, his ambitions concealed behind careful political moves and a reputation for stability.

His mind wandered to the palace under construction—a palace that would serve not only as his official seat of power but as a symbol of his rising influence. The palace was designed to be grander than any other structure in Xiapi, a testament to his vision of the city as the beating heart of his domain. When completed, it would cement his status, allowing him to conduct his rule with the authority befitting a true contender for power in the fractured land.

Unlike other warlords, he had not yet made any overt claims to higher titles, but his actions spoke louder than any proclamation. In the eyes of many, including his own people, he was already more than just the Governor Of Xu Province. The Han Dynasty, while still existing in name, had been left in the hands of ambitious men who were effectively carving out their own kingdoms.

Lie Fan smiled faintly. While he hadn't openly declared any ambitions beyond his current rule, his plans were moving into place. Cao Cao and others would not attack him or move against him just yet, for he had not given them any overt reason.

Liu Bei might wrap himself in virtuous rhetoric about restoring the Han, but Lie Fan understood the game of power. Public perception mattered, and for now, he was content to let others think he was simply a dutiful governor, focused on his city and the welfare of his people.

But he knew better. The time would come when his ambition would no longer be a secret, and when it did, he would be ready. For now, though, all focus was on the grand celebration that was fast approaching.

Once the meeting had ended, Lie Fan's advisors immediately set to work overseeing the preparations for the grand event. Production of gunpowder was increased throughout the city to ensure that enough fireworks would be ready for the festivities.

Artisans and craftsmen were tasked with preparing elaborate designs, while skilled artisans were brought in to perfect the firework displays. The night sky above Xiapi would be transformed into a spectacle that would awe the people, marking the completion of the expansion project and signaling the city's continued rise.

The announcement of the celebration spread quickly across the city, and it wasn't long before the people of Xiapi were buzzing with excitement. The news was met with cheers and enthusiasm. After years of hard work and witnessing their city transform before their eyes, the citizens were eager to celebrate.

Merchants, always looking for opportunity, began stocking up on supplies, knowing that the influx of visitors and the celebratory atmosphere would provide ample business. The streets buzzed with the sounds of market stalls setting up, and traders began to advertise their finest goods in anticipation of the festival.

In response to the increased activity, a new patrol schedule was created. Guards were instructed to increase their vigilance, patrolling the streets day and night to reduce the risk of crime. Extra forces were stationed at key points throughout the city to ensure that the celebration went smoothly.

It was vital that the event proceed without any disruptions, not only for the enjoyment of the people but also as a statement to Xiapi's enemies. The Oriole, Lie Fan's shadowy intelligence force, would be deployed to monitor the situation discreetly, watching for any sign of unrest or sabotage.

The celebration would not only be a time for festivities but also a demonstration of Lie Fan's control and order. The presence of elite guards and hidden operatives ensured that any threat, whether internal or external, would be swiftly dealt with.

While Lie Fan's advisors focused on the logistics of the celebration, Yu Yan, Lie Fan's mother, saw an opportunity of her own. Having long overseen the successful Yu Clan Merchant Group, she recognized that the grand celebration would be an ideal time to assess the next generation of leaders within her family.

The Yu Clan Merchant Group had grown into a major player in the market, rivaling other powerful merchant families like the Zhen Clan, Mi Clan, and Lu Clan.

Yu Yan knew that for Lie Fan's ambitions to fully materialize, it was critical to have the backing of a strong economic base, and the Yu Clan Merchant Group had become one of the cornerstone of that power.

She gathered her daughters-in-law—Diao Chan, Cai Wenji, Ying Yue, and Lu Lingqi—and brought them into the fold of managing the merchant group. While the celebration was being planned, Yu Yan also set in motion plans of her own to test their abilities.

She wanted to identify a worthy successor who could eventually take over leadership of the merchant group, someone who could handle the complexities of the marketplace while also advancing the Lie Clan's interests.

"You have each shown great strength in your own way," Yu Yan said to them during one of their meetings. "But the time has come to see who among you can handle the weight of leadership. The grand celebration will draw many influential merchants and traders to Xiapi. You must ensure that our merchant group capitalizes on this opportunity. It's not only about profit but about forging new alliances and securing resources that will strengthen our position."

The women, each with their own talents, listened intently. Cai Wenji, with her sharp intellect and cultured background, had a keen sense for negotiation and diplomacy. Diao Chan, graceful and strategic, understood the importance of influence and persuasion.

Ying Yue, ever practical and grounded, excelled in the logistics and management side of trade. And Lu Lingqi, though more accustomed to martial matters, had proven herself capable of leadership and quick decision-making.

Yu Yan's task was not just about running a business—it was about selecting someone who could complement Lie Fan's political and military strategies with economic acumen.

The Yu Clan Merchant Group was not merely a commercial entity; it was a powerful tool in the larger game of power and influence that Lie Fan was playing. The one who would take over the merchant group would need to be shrewd, adaptable, and above all, loyal to the Lie Clan's cause.

As they began their work, Yu Yan kept a watchful eye, offering guidance when needed but ultimately allowing her daughters-in-law the freedom to prove themselves.

As the days passed, Xiapi underwent a transformation in preparation for the celebration. Colorful banners and decorations began to line the streets, and temporary stages were erected in key areas of the city for performances.

Musicians, dancers, and actors from across the region were invited to take part, their talents adding to the cultural richness of the event. Cai Yong, with his vast network of poets and artists, had taken a personal interest in organizing the performances, ensuring that they would be of the highest quality.

The city's markets became even busier as merchants prepared for the influx of people. The atmosphere in Xiapi was electric, filled with anticipation. It was not just the local populace who were excited; travelers from neighboring cities and regions began arriving, drawn by the promise of celebration and opportunity.

The event had become much more than just a local affair—it was becoming a regional one, with Xiapi at the center. Even among the common people, there was a palpable sense of pride. They had witnessed their city grow from a fortified settlement into a sprawling metropolis, and now they would have the chance to celebrate their part in its success.

Lie Fan, watching the city come alive with such energy was a reminder of why he had worked so hard to build it. Xiapi was not just a city; it was a testament to his vision, a place where people from all walks of life could come together, thrive, and contribute to something greater. And as the day of the celebration approached, he felt more certain than ever that this was only the beginning.

He stood on the balcony of his residence one evening, looking out over the city as the sun began to set. Soon, this skyline would be illuminated by the bright flashes of fireworks, and the streets below would be filled with people celebrating his achievements.

The palace, when finished, would dominate the city's landscape, and from there, he would govern not just Xiapi, but the vast territories that would surely follow. Lie Fan's ambition was no longer a distant dream. It was becoming a reality, piece by piece, and the grand celebration would be the moment when everyone would begin to see it.
