Xie Xiang

During the cold winter, Liu Zao came all the way, his face flushed with cold.

She looked at Xie Yi's shadow on the window, and the urge to see her suddenly subsided into calm.It's just that Liu Zao felt very satisfied seeing Xie Yi's shadow through the window paper.

There are plum blossoms in the courtyard, and the dark fragrance floats.

Liu Zao moved one step, without paying attention, stepped on a dry branch, and made a crisp sound.The shadow on the window heard the sound and stopped.

Then, she stood up and walked away from the window.

Seeing her leaving, Liu Zao was a little at a loss, but after a while, the door opened.

Xie Yi walked out of the room, stepped down the steps, and walked this way.Liu Zao bit his lower lip, and the smiles in his eyes overflowed.

Xie Yi saw her and said with a smile, "I knew it was you."

Liu Zao couldn't wait to run over, she stood still in front of Xie Yi, looked at her carefully, then couldn't help but hug her into her arms, hugging her very cherishingly.

If others who don't know the inside story see this situation, they may think that this couple has been separated for several years and has never seen each other.

Liu Zao hugged Xie Yi tightly, rubbed against her neck aggrievedly, and complained, "They won't let me see you."

Xie Yi said in her mouth: "This is the rule." But she patted Liu Zao's back with her hand, comforting silently.

"Hmph, what I say is the rule." Liu Zao spoke boldly, then reluctantly let go of his hand, backed away a little, and said to Xie Yi, "It's cold, let's talk indoors."

In the winter night, the chill is like ice covering the body, so cold to the bone.

She had put on enough clothes before coming, and Xie Xiang was suddenly drawn out by her, the clothes were thin, it must be very cold.Liu Zao said while urging her to go inside.

The room was warm, and the charcoal in the brazier was burning red. Liu Zao walked over, stretched out his hand to warm the fire, and grabbed Xie Yi's hand to roast together.

She was in high spirits, and happily said to Xie Yi, "I asked Fang Xiangshi to make a divination, saying that it is auspicious to return before the child's time. With this hexagram, we will definitely go smoothly. Even if the ministers If you catch me, I can block them with this hexagram."

She looked very righteous, looked at Xie Yi again, pulled the hem of her clothes, shook her, her eyes were bright, and said: "Hurry up and praise me for doing things properly."

Xie Yi guessed early in the morning that she would not obediently wait until the wedding day, and would come to see her quietly.So he broke down the defense of the mansion early in the morning to make it easier for her to come.

Unexpectedly, she waited and waited for several days, but she did not come.She was also surprised, only then did she realize that she was afraid of breaking the rules, which was unlucky.

She smiled and boasted: "Your Majesty is really appropriate."

Liu Zao was very happy, his eyebrows and eyes were curved.She didn't realize at all that until now, there was no minister who would dare to look for her.The ministers only hope that she can live in peace, get married, and become an adult, and stop being so domineering and sending them around.

The ministers who went out of Beijing to raise red silk are still on the road day and night, desperately trying to get back to Chang'an on the day of their wedding, just as His Majesty wished, paving the road from Gonghou's Mansion to Weiyang Palace. The red silk, let Xie Xiang step on the red silk to enter the palace and become the queen of the big man.

Xie Yi smiled when she thought of the ministers who had come to the house to complain these days.Those people didn't know whether they saw that the important matter had been decided, and they were afraid that Mengmeng's diary would hate them for obstructing the establishment of the empress, or they were really forced to have no choice.Partly to show favor, and partly to come to the mansion in a serious embarrassment, and cried once, asking her to persuade His Majesty, the emperor's big marriage is not to be trifled with, but His Majesty's request is too harsh, this time the wedding ceremony The system is also too extravagant, and I am afraid it will be unprecedented.

Xie Yi didn't listen to them.

Before she came out of the palace, Mengmeng showed off to her triumphantly. For so many years, she didn't build a palace, didn't build a palace, didn't spend extravagantly, and didn't waste. marry a daughter-in-law.Therefore, all the property used in this big wedding came from the emperor's private treasury.

Secondly, Liu Mengmeng firmly believes that a big wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so the more solemn the better, it's not too troublesome to ignore it.

When she said this, her eyes were full of anticipation, so Xie Yi didn't remind her that they had been secretly married once for many years, and she let her be immersed in joy.

"We'll be back at midnight, I'm afraid it will be cold." Xie Yi poured out a cup of honey water and handed it to Liu Zao.

The warmth spread along the wall of the cup and spread to Liu Zao's hand, which dispelled the chill in her palm, and then spread to her whole body, making her body warm.

Holding the earcups, Liu Zao straightened his body so as to make his figure appear taller and more majestic, and said: "I am in good health, and I came here by car, so I am not afraid of the cold."

After saying that, he took a sip of honey water, and his body warmed up.

Liu Zao squinted his eyes comfortably, appearing to be enjoying himself.

Such a big person still likes to drink sweet, not sour, and only likes to drink a cup of honey water every day.It is also easy to raise.

Xie Yi shook her head, knowing that she had come so hard, she would definitely not want to go back early.Then he called someone and asked him to take a few pieces of fox fur and put them in His Majesty's car to keep her from being cold.He also ordered several attendants who were waiting outside the mansion to be called in, and personally ordered them to cook a dose of ginger soup to serve His Majesty after returning to the palace, to drive away the cold.

Liu Zao was sitting on the side, watching her busy with her with a smile. After she had prepared everything and ordered everything, Fang asked curiously: "Just now I saw Xie Xiang sewing under the lamp, but when Do you want to embroider a wedding dress?"

Xie Yi's expression froze, and after a while, she looked at Liu Zao helplessly.Liu Zao didn't know, so he raised his hand and scratched his cheek, and asked again: "Isn't it a wedding dress?"

With her little embroidery skills, if she makes a wedding dress, I'm afraid they won't be able to get married by the end of next year.

Xie Yi could only reply: "No."

Not a wedding dress, Liu Zao nodded and asked again: "What is that?"

She seemed to be asking the question, so Xie Yi had no choice but to get up and go inside to get the embroidered item.

As soon as she left, Liu Zao looked around quickly, she had been here many times before, but this time was different from the past, she saw many new decorations in this room.

The dressing table is new, the dowry box is also new, and there are several new lacquerware over there, all of which are newly added. The red background is painted with gold, and the pattern is a phoenix in the sky.

This must be one of the betrothal gifts sent from Weiyang Palace.The dowry was chosen by Liu Zao herself. She had chosen it for many years, and when she saw a good one, she put it away and wanted to keep it for her daughter-in-law.

It's a pity that some items are not durable. After years of time, they will be broken if they are hidden. Liu Zao felt distressed for a long time when she counted them. She felt that she must like all the items she picked, but it was a pity that they could not be handed over to her. .

These objects are placed in the room, so that the room is full of joy, with the atmosphere of a big wedding.

Liu Zao was happy in his heart, but felt somewhat restrained for no reason.

When Xie Yi came out with a sewing basket, she saw Liu Zao kneeling upright on the couch, her eyes carefully gliding over the newly added objects, with joy and a little restraint, it was really a bit of a bridegroom. The nervous anticipation of first arrival in the bride's boudoir.

"Let's take a look." Xie Yi smiled.

Liu Zao hurried over to her side, her hands and feet were a little stiff, she looked at Xie Yi, suddenly became shy, thinking, they are getting married, Xie Xiang is willing to marry her.

Liu Zao pursed her lips and smiled, then saw the basket, reached out and poked the fabric: "What is it?"

The fabric is not small, it looks like a piece of clothing.

Xie Yi originally wanted to present it to Liu Zao as a wedding gift after it was made, but since she was found out, she was not a petty person, so she just took it to Liu Zao to see.

"It's an underwear, it's almost ready." Xie Yi said.

Liu Zao's joy was shown on her face, she cupped it in both hands, looked at it, nodded and said, "I like it."

The white undershirt is made of pure silk, and the tentacles are smooth, so it is not afraid of sticky sweat in summer.Liu Zao looked at Xie Yi with special care for a long time, and then begged Xie Yi: "Are you ready soon? Then give it to me tonight." She said, looking at Xie Yi shyly, and said: "I want to get married Wear it that day."

In this way, it is better than a wedding dress if it is not a wedding dress.

Xie Yi knew what she was thinking, and said, "Okay."

After all, he took out the needle and thread and continued to sew.Liu Zao was not idle either, she went to move all the lamps and candles in the room, and put them around Xie Yi, so that they would be brighter and less hurtful to the eyes.

Only half of the skirt is left.After about half a stick of incense, it will be fine.

Xie Yi tied the knot and broke the thread, so Liu Zao stood up, took off his underwear, and weighed it on her body.Liu Zao stood upright, only her eyeballs followed Xie Yi's movements, and after some measurement, she asked, "Does it fit?"

Xie Yi hadn't measured the size before making it, but they were already close, and she knew every part of Liu Zao's body, so she consulted the maid who was good at sewing, and determined the size.

At this time, it is really close.

"It shouldn't be much worse, you can try it on."

Liu Zao took it happily and went into the inner room to change it.Her back is full of happiness, like a three-year-old child wearing new clothes.

Xie Yi spent a lot of effort on this inner garment and ruined it several times to get this decent one.

Liu Zao came out after changing. Fortunately, the room was warm. She stood in front of Xie Yi, tugged at the hem of her clothes, and said, "It fits well, it looks good."

I didn't even embroider the text, how could it look good.Xie Yi looked at it helplessly, and felt that the sleeves were two inches longer.

Liu Zao didn't hear her approval, so she was a little anxious, fearing that Xie Yi would feel bad and if she had to remake it, then she wouldn't be able to wear it on her wedding day.She quickly nodded affirmatively, emphasizing: "It looks good!"

Xie Yi had no choice but to agree, "Your Majesty looks very energetic when dressed."

Liu Zao smiled shyly.

"Go and take it off, so I can close the corners." Xie Yi said again.

Liu Zao obediently took it off.

Then Xie Yi cut off the sleeves by two inches, and then tucked away the corners to complete the undergarment. She calculated the time and saw that there was still time, so she embroidered a few bamboo leaves on the chest. It was simple but very simple. Qingli.

When the midnight was approaching, Xie Yi put the clothes into the wooden box and asked Liu Zao to take them back.

That night, she came in a hurry, and with longing heart, met Xie Yi, watching her sew clothes for her, Liu Zao felt happier than doing anything else.

She was reluctant to leave, hugged Xie Yi tightly, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm not leaving, I'm here."

This is self-willed words, Xie Yi patted her: "There are only two days left, you go back, in two days, I will come."

Liu Zao gave her a big hug, turned around and left, not daring to look back, for fear that she would be reluctant to leave once she turned around.

Back in the palace, Liu Zao slept with the casket in his arms until the next day, Fang summoned the female official in charge of the emperor's clothes, handed the casket to her, and said: "This is my auspicious clothing, please keep it safe."

The female official took the matter seriously, took it with both hands, stepped back, and carefully opened the wooden box in the Clothes Department, but saw that it was an underwear inside, she was stunned for a moment, looked at the stitches, it was not a skill in the palace, and guessed Most of these were sewn by Gong Hou for His Majesty.

She put the inner gown and the clothes she will use in the future together, so that His Majesty will wear it when he gets married.

Zhengdan, great auspiciousness, renewal of all things, great prosperity in everything.

Liu Zaoyin started at the same time, bathed and burned incense, changed clothes and hats, and had a banquet in the temple. He told the late king that today is the day when the emperor of the Han Dynasty married the queen.

When this step-by-step ceremony was completed, it was already dawn.

The Empress Dowager returned yesterday and lives in the Changle Palace. After all, she is still the Empress Dowager. Liu Zao went to the Changle Palace to meet her, and received her blessings from the Empress Dowager, asking her to live a happy life with the new empress. Liu Zao thanked the Queen Mother and left the palace to return to Weiyang Palace.

Tomorrow she and the queen will come here together to meet the elders.

Returning to Weiyang Palace, Liu Zao replaced the crown and placed it above the main hall to accept the worship of all the officials.

After the pilgrimage, Liu Zao only had to wait for dusk.

The ceremony of personal welcome is at dusk, when the golden sky is gradually fading to the west, and when the night is approaching but not yet.

Liu Zao was so nervous that he couldn't sit still, couldn't swallow food, so he simply went around the palace to see if everything was ready.

The etiquette officials hurriedly made sure that every step of the day was correct.There were people coming and going in the palace, everyone was in a hurry, but everyone looked happy.

Ribbons, red candles, brocade silk, good horses, precious cars, and fine clothes, inside and outside the palace, are decorated with lights and festoons everywhere.

In the city of Chang'an, on the streets of Luxiang, everyone was wearing new clothes and shoes, flocking to the road from Gonghou's Mansion to Weiyang Palace, waiting to watch the ceremony, Zhi Jinwu had to be there in person to maintain order.

The once-in-a-century grand occasion is today.

After finally reaching dusk, Liu Zao changed into auspicious clothes and hurried to the palace gate.As the prime minister, Li Wen acted as the ceremony officer and accompanied her, seeing this, he hurriedly reminded her: "Your Majesty should be in charge, don't run and run, lest the wedding go wrong."

When Liu Zao heard this, he quickly accepted the advice and slowed down.As she walked, she was nervous and complained about why the road was so long.

Li Wen saw her torment, and said to her: "The empress has just left, so don't worry, Your Majesty."

The emperor didn't know if he listened or not, so he nodded indiscriminately and looked straight ahead.

Habayashiro stood on both sides of the palace road, and the red tassels on their helmets fluttered in the wind, quite festive.

Liu Zao stood outside the palace gate, looking forward to it.From time to time, someone loudly reported: "The queen is out of the workshop!"

"The queen's car is leaning on the Zhangtai!"

"The queen passed the arsenal!"

"The empress passed the Changle Palace!"

Liu Zao's tongue was dry, and every time she made a notification, she became nervous.

The bride's car finally appeared, and the emperor couldn't hide the smile on his face.The wheels rolled over the red silk, with countless dowries and soldiers behind them, winding for dozens of miles.

The emperor stared at the car with burning eyes, and when the car stopped, she stepped forward.Shocked, the ceremonial officials hurriedly tried to stop her, according to the etiquette, it should be the empress walking towards the emperor, and she made a big salute, showing her superiority and inferiority, how could an emperor condescend to greet her.

Li Wen smiled happily, raised his hand to stop them, and let the emperor go.

The steps involved had been discussed with the emperor a long time ago, but at this moment, Liu Zao couldn't care less.

She walked to the front of the car, and the driver opened the door.

The woman in the queen's auspicious costume walked out slowly. Liu Zao watched intently. She reached out and helped her get out of the car.

Once Xie Yi caught that person's palm, she knew that this person was not a female official who had been arranged earlier, but a lover who wanted to go with her on a white-headed appointment.

The man also said nervously: "Be careful."

Xie Yi smiled softly, got out of the car with her support.

Afterwards, Liu Zao never let go of her hand, she took Xie Yi, walked hand in hand with her into the palace gate, changed to the palace carriage, and went to the main hall where the ceremony was held.

The guests in the front hall all arrived, and the inside and outside were crowded. Everyone offered congratulatory gifts, drank a glass of wine, and then talked happily.

In the Jiaofang Hall, it was silent and solemn.The matter of marriage embodies the righteousness of husband and wife, and the grace of marriage is not something to be treated noisyly.

The emperor led the queen into the palace, and the rest stayed outside the palace.

The ceremony began at dusk, and by this time, it was already dark.There are red candles everywhere in the Jiaofang Hall, reflecting the inside of the palace with a hazy crimson color.

Liu Zao and Xie Yi sat facing each other, they looked at each other, and after some time, as if they had agreed, they lowered their heads and chuckled in unison.

The servants in the side palace smiled and offered wine.

The newlyweds get together and eat together in prison to show the same respect, honor and disgrace, never leave, and love for a hundred years.

Hejiu wine is served in a jade cup with a phoenix pattern carved on the side of the cup.Liu Zao took a glass, handed it to Xie Yi first, and then picked up his own. They looked at each other and smiled, arms intertwined, and drank the fine wine.

When the wine was over, Liu Zao's face was dyed crimson, his eyes sparkled, he looked at Xie Yi, as if he had a thousand words to say to her.Xie Yi knew that she didn't drink much, and that the wine used in the wine was a hundred years old, so she was afraid that she would get drunk, so she comforted her with his eyes.

Liu Zao smiled at her silently, the water in his eyes sparkled and turned into warm affection.

The palace servants turned around to serve the sacrificial meat. When they came back, they saw the emperor and the empress looking at each other and smiling again. Somehow, their hearts became sweeter. These two were the emperor who ruled the world, and the other were once stirring up trouble in the court. Their prime ministers are all unknown figures, but at this moment, anyone can see that they have no room for others in their eyes.

After the ceremony was completed, only the two of them were left in the palace.

Liu Zao listened attentively, Xie Yi saw that she was cute, and asked, "What is Your Majesty listening to?"

Liu Zao said, "I've been listening to the guests leave."

It's still early, and most of them are still enjoying themselves, but no one can bother them.Xie Yi stood up and wanted to help her, but Liu Zao hurriedly stood up, looked at her, and stammered, "Yes, I want a bridal chamber."

As soon as the words "bridal chamber" came out, Xie Yi could no longer wait calmly, barely maintained her dignity, nodded, and said, "Take off your clothes first."

Liu Zao came forward and undressed her. Her hands were shaking, nervous and excited.Xie Yi also undressed for her, and the two of them went to the auspicious clothes, but both left their inner clothes.

Liu Zao's underwear was indeed the one that Xie Yi sewed by herself. When she tried it on that night, she didn't think it was special, but tonight, whether it was the red candles shining or her mood, Xie Yi only felt that she was extraordinarily good-looking.

The bedding on the bed is new and fully laid.

The two lay down, the faint smell of alcohol on Xie Yi's body made Liu Zao intoxicated and moved.

In the room, there was a sound of panting, and the feeling of spring was full.

Until late at night, Liu Zao hugged Xie Yi tightly, and the red candle was more than half burned, reflecting the whole room like a dream.

Liu Zao suddenly smiled, and rubbed against Xie Yi's ear, with a smile on his face, but he seemed to be in disbelief, and asked: "We will never be separated from now on, will we?"

Xie Yi opened her eyes, and following her gaze, she saw the many objects that can only be used in marriage. She had clearly worked hard for a long time to get the situation, and she suddenly felt like a dream, the hardships of the past were all here The red candle quietly disappeared, leaving only sweetness and affection.

"Never be separated again." Xie Yi turned her head, looked into Liu Zao's eyes, and said to her.

The emperor and the queen rule the world together.

From now on, they will be a pair made in heaven, and they will appeal to the heaven and earth, and send an edict to all peoples, and no one and nothing can separate them.
