Xie Xiang

Xie Yi was amused and distressed at the same time, asking her to come forward and hug her.

Liu Zao finally said it, and Gao Xuan finally let go of his heart, and walked over to let Xie Yi hug him.Xie Yi said, "Are you aware of your mistake?"

Liu Zao nodded: "I know I was wrong."

Xie Yi asked again: "Don't you dare?"

Liu Zao shook his head: "Don't dare."

"That's good." Xie Yi said.

Only when Liu Zao was forgiven can he feel at ease.

Xie Yi woke up when she arrived at Tangquan Palace, she just thought that it would be disappointing to expose it at that time, so she kept silent, who knew that Liu Zao went too far.Her body was sore and weak, and she couldn't get up the energy to care about her, so she wanted to stay cold for two days. His Majesty was concerned about this, and with a guilty conscience, he would definitely admit his mistake.

Unexpectedly, this honest child can't even last a day.

"I sleep on the outside." Liu Zao said, let Xie Yi go to bed first, and then lay on the side of the bed by himself, "What do you want at night, tell me."

They usually don't distinguish between inside and outside, but tonight Liu Zao occupied the outside, so that he can hold water for Xie Yi and get up at night.

She thought so thoroughly, but Xie Yi said helplessly, "I never drink water at night."

Liu Zao insisted: "What if tonight is an exception? You'd better lie down, with me, nothing to worry about."

She didn't worry, but she didn't have to be so nervous.Xie Yi had no choice but to lie on the inside as promised.In fact, she was just tired and would be fine if she rested for a day, but Liu Zao was very nervous.

Blow out the lamps and candles in the hall, leaving only one in the corner, and the two go to bed.

Liu Zao held Xie Yi in his arms, and stretched out his hand to rub her sore spot.She was intelligent by nature, and she figured out the technique in a few moments. The strength was neither light nor heavy, just right, Xie Yi made her press comfortably, and gradually fell asleep in her arms.

Maybe Liu Zao went to bed early, and Xie Yi, who never drank water at night, suddenly became thirsty and woke up from a dream.She lifted the blanket and wanted to get out of bed to pour water.But Liu Zao woke up, dazedly grabbed her wrist, and mumbled, "Mr. Xie, what do you want?"

Xie Yi was grabbed by her hand, unable to get up, she said, "Water."

Liu Zao let go of his hand and said, "I'll go."

The hall was dark, only illuminated by a small lamp, and Liu Zao was half asleep, she got out of the bed gropingly, stepped on the ground barefoot, and walked around the screen in a daze.Xie Yi looked at her wobbly back worriedly, fearing that she would fall a few times, but soon, she came back with her ears in her ears.

The water was warm and not difficult to drink. Liu Zao stood in front of the bed, rubbed his eyes sleepily, tried his best to wake up, and looked at Xie Yi.Xie Yi finished drinking the water and handed the earcup back to her.

There was still less than half in the cup, Liu Zao asked, "No more?"

Xie Yi nodded: "Enough."

Liu Zao naturally picked up the ear cup, drank the rest of the water, then put the ear cup on a low table, and got back into the quilt.

Xie Yi is fully awake, but Liu Zao is still troubled by sleepiness.There was a chill on her body, Xie Yi hugged her into his arms to keep her warm.Before going to bed, Liu Zao was holding her, but now it's the other way around.

Without realizing it, Liu Zao chose a comfortable position in Xie Yi's arms, closed his eyes and went back to sleep.Before falling asleep, she thought drowsily, from now on she will sleep on the outside.

The memorial was sent back the next day, and the ministers were overjoyed when they saw the handwriting on the bamboo slips, and rushed to tell each other that all the seals submitted yesterday were reviewed by His Majesty himself.

When they were happy, they sent people to the palace to inquire, but there was a rift between His Majesty and Marquis Gong, and His Majesty did not want to see Marquis Gong meddling in the government affairs.As a result, after inquiring, I found out that Gong Hou was ill because His Majesty couldn't bear her toil.

The ministers were overjoyed for a while, and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Li Wen was at the side, and secretly thought, superficial, how can they change at will after more than ten years of getting along with each other, these people really don't know what true love is.He was still having a headache and went to find a man of high morals and respect. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a minister angrily say: "Corrupt the atmosphere! Your lord is so absurd, and everyone in the world will follow suit. Huh?"

This person has a pious name and a high name, and he was the most fiercely opposed last time, but he has some talent, is upright, and acts justly, His Majesty has never dealt with him.Now all the officials are silent, no one dares to speak out, he watched for several days, but couldn't stand it, and at this moment he yelled loudly, which also put life and death aside.

The officials were still sighing, but when they heard his words, they either turned their heads to look elsewhere, or hid their faces to avoid them, but no one spoke to him.

This matter naturally spread to the palace, Liu Zao was furious when he heard it, and issued an edict on the spot, posthumously enfeoffing Xie Yi's late father as a feudal lord, and sending people to repair the tomb of Xie Yi's father, according to the specifications of Liehou.

The officials were in an uproar, and it was the custom of the Han Dynasty that the father of the empress was granted the title of Marquis.The emperor acted blatantly and did not want to cover it up anymore.

Even knowing that her heart is here, seeing her do it is still shocking.

Not only the ministers, but also the people of Chang'an were all shocked, most of them thought this was absurd, but still no one dared to speak out.

Liu Zao let Qian Gao out again, she originally wanted to put him in prison, so as to beat him up, but Xie Yi stopped her, so she had no choice but to drive him to a remote village, so that he could be out of sight.

As soon as Qian Gao left, the courtiers dared not speak, Liu Zao was satisfied.

Ten days later, Li Wen finally found a respectable man, an old man who had never been an official.Everyone admires the old man's character and talent.

Li Wen originally thought that it would take some effort to persuade such an old man, but the old man agreed on the spot, but one of his disciples couldn't help frowning and said: "Yin and Yang are reversed, human relations do not exist, the world follows the trend, and in the future the noble girls will raise their eyebrows." The style of favoring concubines is bound to prevail, how can the teacher agree to this?"

The old gentleman smiled freely: "Didn't Ziyang see that there is a prince in the world who is good at the south wind?"

The south wind can survive, so what can a noble girl raise a concubine.

Even Li Wen admired the old man's mind.

So the old man took the lead in writing a letter, please make Gonghou his successor, and then the people of the ten places joined hands to write a letter, please make Gonghou his successor.Then many ministers headed by Li Wen knelt down and begged.The emperor readily agreed, and issued an edict on the spot, making Xie Yi, Marquis of Gong, his queen.

The edict was promulgated to the whole world. Half a year ago, everyone thought that the emperor's plan would be full of thorns and could not be fulfilled.Half a year later, the court was wiped out, and she made it.

Xie Yi had conferred the title of Jieyu in the past, and Jieyu was appointed as the empress, who belonged to Fuzheng, issued an imperial edict, bestowed a treasure seal, and sacrificed to heaven and earth, there was no need for a big wedding ceremony.

Liu Zao refused, she insisted on getting married once.

Let her be successful after the establishment, and if she insists on getting married, the ministers have no choice but to let her get busy back and forth.

But the most irritating thing is that marrying a wife by the emperor is not a child's play. The first half of the year is normal.

But His Majesty did not want to be separated from Gong Hou for a long time, so he set the wedding date at Zhengdan, saying that on Zhengdan day, he would bring the new queen to Gaomiao to worship the heaven, earth and the former king.There must be no shortage of various steps, and they must be done solemnly without any mistakes.

At this time, it is only half a month away from Zhengdan.

For a time, no one was idle in the court.On the road from Weiyang Palace to Gonghou Mansion, officials, palace guards and eunuchs came and went from time to time, escorting the emperor's dowry.

[-] catties of gold, [-] million yuan in money, and countless bi, horses, silk, and lacquerware. These properties were escorted by men and horses, and they were sent to Gonghou's mansion continuously. They were sent directly for half a month, but they were not finished.

The ceremony officials entered the palace to teach the emperor the wedding etiquette.Liu Zao studied very seriously, and even asked for a rehearsal, for fear that Jiali would make mistakes.

Hundreds of embroiderers rushed to make auspicious clothes, and they never closed their eyes for days and nights. They had to decorate both inside and outside the palace. Entering the palace on red silk to show the lingering auspiciousness and the inseparable love of the emperor and empress.

From Gonghou's mansion to the main hall, at least thirty miles away, how could there be so many red silks, even if the capital was emptied, so many red silks could not be found.So the ministers hurriedly searched all over the place, and all of them turned gray with worry.

Some officials even regretted it. They knew that His Majesty could be so troublesome, so they agreed to her last time. At that time, Zhengdan was still four months away. They could still prepare slowly so that they would not break their legs in half a month.

Liu Zao still felt that it was not enough, so he issued an imperial edict to amnesty the world, granting the first rank to the rank of the people, exempting the people of Hanoi, Yuyang, Shangdang, Sanyang and other 37 counties from paying taxes for one year.To show joy with the people.

In short, what the emperor did made this wedding the most extravagant and festive wedding since the Han Dynasty. The people in the capital were quite critical of the emperor's marriage at first, but they gradually merged into the lively scene and looked forward to it.

But the closer he got to Zhengdan, the more anxious Liu Zao became.Xie Xiang went out of the palace to get married, and she couldn't sleep alone for more than ten days, but she missed Xie Xiang more and more.

But the courtesy officer didn't let her see Xie Xiang.Liu Zao endured it for several days, and missed him more and more.

The Jiaofang Palace was finally welcoming its owner. Liu Zao went to see it several times in person. She even looked carefully at the lantern hanging on the door. She thought it was not hung properly enough, so she ordered someone to fetch a ladder and climb up to rehang it herself. .

Every utensil in the hall was selected by her, even the bedding and dowry were taken care of by her.This day was only three days away from Zhengdan, she was eager to see through, and couldn't calm down to do things, so she went to the Jiaofang Hall to have a look, this time she even wiped the floor in the hall herself.

Thinking that Xie Xiang would live here in the future and grow old together with her, Liu Zao was so excited that he wiped down the low tables, cabinets, dressing table and bed carefully.

The palace people couldn't stand her anymore, and at first they would kneel down to dissuade her, saying that this was not a job that His Majesty could do.Now, she can tell her what kind of material to use and what kind of cloth to wipe without changing her face, so as not to damage the wooden utensils.

Liu Zao endured a very hard life, and after another day, when Zhengdan was only two days away, she finally couldn't bear it anymore, and she insisted on seeing her thanks.

But the ceremony officer said that it is inauspicious for couples to meet before the big wedding.It was this unlucky sentence that stopped her for so many days.

Liu Zao thinks whether it is good or bad is not decided by the etiquette officer, it is the will of heaven.She ran to the altar of the gods and asked Fang Xiangshi to ask the gods for her, can I see Mrs. Xie today?

Fang Xiangshi made a divination for her. The hexagram said that if your majesty leaves the palace in the unitary time and returns before the child's time, it will be auspicious.

Liu Zao saw that it was getting late and the unitary hour was approaching, so he hurried to go.

Seeing her leaving in a hurry, Fang Xiangshi smiled and shook his head.Back then, His Majesty asked him to predict the life of Prime Minister Xie, but the result of the prediction was a secret and could not be seen.At that time, he couldn't figure out why the prime minister's life was a secret.

We won't know until His Majesty wants to stand up.

The only thing that cannot be predicted in this world is the emperor and empress.

Liu Zaote changed into black clothes, and took only three or five attendants with her, checking the time, and when the hour came, she would leave the palace.Because it was not easy for others to know, she abandoned the horse and walked quietly to Xie Xiang's mansion.He was also afraid to disturb the servants, so he didn't dare to knock on the door, so he found a wall and turned in.

The few attendants were almost scared to death, but His Majesty said that to avoid people's eyes and ears, they could only run around in a hurry under the wall without daring to make a sound.

Thanks to Liu Zao's fondness for riding and archery, and he often enjoys playing cuju, his skills are quite agile, and he didn't get hurt when he jumped off the high wall.

She was very familiar with the mansion, she carefully walked along the path, avoiding the patrolling soldiers and servants, and went straight to Xie Yi's room.

The night has fallen, she is wearing dark clothes, but she can hide in the night, and hides around among the grass and trees, without being noticed by others.But when he arrived in Xie Yi's Courtyard, Liu Zao still sensitively sensed something was wrong.Along the way, I met fewer people.

But she sneaked into Xie Yi's courtyard without thinking deeply.

There are figures on the window, doing needlework under the lamp.

Liu Zao's fear of being noticed all the way disappeared in an instant, staring at the figure on the window, his heart beating fast, is Xiang Xie embroidering a wedding dress?

The author has something to say: Mengmeng knows nothing about Xie Xiang's sewing ability.
