Xie Xiang

Shangben, the king of Changyi, cried for poverty, and the court added five hundred food towns to him. Fearing that he would have dissent in the fiefdom, he sent officials to guard it.Liu Zao summoned the official and asked him to inquire if there were any craftsmen who were good at making copper lamps. If so, send them to Chang'an.

She wanted to make a copper lamp with Xie Yi as a statue, and it would be the same as the beauty lamp, without any threads.This cannot be understood by outsiders.

But when she got nervous, she said it out.

Xie Yi asked strangely, "What skillful craftsman?"

Liu Zao shut his mouth tightly, shook his head, and said nothing.

Children always have strange ideas.Xie Yi didn't ask further, just looked at the wound on her palm, raised her head and said to the palace: "Call the medical officer."

Liu Zao was in a hurry and stopped him: "No need, it's just a minor injury. When the medical officer came, he only sprinkled some wound medicine, it's useless." She finally summoned Xie Yi privately, and she didn't want there to be any irrelevant people in the hall man of.She just wanted to be alone with Xie Yi for a while.

The little emperor's tone was firm. Although Xie Yi was concerned, it was not easy to force her.She glanced at Liu Zao, and Liu Zao felt guilty because of her look, and mumbled: "It will be better tomorrow."

Xie Yi shook his head, swept the palace and said: "Such a big cut on my hand, even if I don't call a medical officer, I should wash it and apply medicine. How can I wipe it off casually. Your Majesty is still young and ignorant, you Not sensible either?"

In an instant, the palace servants knelt down on the ground.Xie Xiang was angry, and Liu Zao couldn't plead for mercy, and she was a little afraid of Xie Yi, so she glanced at her quietly, pretending to be calm and said, "I haven't fetched water yet."

Hu Ao also knew that they had neglected the matter, so he kowtowed and said, "The minister will go."

Not long after, there was a basin of clear water in front of Liu Zao.

She put her hand into the water, and after a while, the congealed blood melted away and drifted away a little bit, strands of blood rippled in the clear water, and the wound suddenly felt tingling pain, and the turned flesh was abnormally hideous.

Liu Zao said nothing, and when the blood was almost washed away, he raised his hand and drained the water.

Hu Ao was terrified when he saw it, and wanted to go forward to help the little emperor dry the wound and sprinkle the medicine powder, but he knew that if he really stepped forward, His Majesty would definitely complain, so he held back and stood where he was.

The drops of water stopped dripping down, Liu Zao took a clean handkerchief and tried to wipe the water, but her right hand was injured, and the handkerchief with her left hand was not smooth, and her movements were very clumsy.But she still didn't open her mouth, she didn't ask the palace people to come forward, she didn't look at Xie Yi for help, she was stubborn and strong.

Xie Yi, however, could see some weakness from the little emperor, and felt that these palace people were not caring, His Majesty was injured, so he didn't know how to call a medical officer, and he didn't even know how to go up to give her medicine.

She stretched out her hand to take the veil, and her tone inevitably became warmer: "I will do it for Your Majesty."

Liu Zao nodded expressionlessly, and when Xie Yi lowered her head and carefully touched the wound with a handkerchief, she immediately curled the corners of her lips, her eyes filled with a triumphant smile.

Hu Ao silently turned his face away, as if he didn't see anything.

I can't feel it when I don't touch it, but when the medicine is really applied, the wound hurts badly.The white powder spilled and melted in blood, and the potion seeped in, Liu Zao couldn't help hissing.

Xie Yi paused, raised her head and said, "Be patient."

Seeing her caring and soft eyes, Liu Zao felt warm in his heart, nodded and said, "Okay."

A well-behaved child is always annoying.Xie Yi kept her movements very light. If she wasn't afraid of getting too close, she would still blow Liu Zao's wounds.

The medicine powder melted into the blood, penetrated into the skin, at first it tingled, and when the pain passed, it became slightly scalding, like Liu Zao's heart, which was also scalding.

The medicine was ready, Xie Yi took a white cloth to bandage the wound, and said, "Your Majesty has been inconvenient for the past two days, I'm afraid it's hard to practice shooting and writing."

Liu Zao said: "It's okay, Master Li won't see any crime if I think about it." After she took part in the government, studying is no longer the top priority, but she has always been strict with herself and does not want to drop her studies, so she will study hard.

Xie Yi also knew that it was only at this moment that she remembered that His Majesty had come to Jiaofang Hall, she looked around and asked, "Why did Your Majesty come here?"

Liu Zao had already thought up his speech, and calmly said: "Che Qi has been obstructing me for several days to prevent me from choosing a husband. I am upset, so I came here to have a look." Xie Yi laughed when she heard her words, Liu Zao didn't know yet When she was drunk, she had emptied herself completely, and she still said solemnly, "Who knows that as soon as you enter the pepper room, you will see an empty hall. Thanks for your good eyesight, why don't you show me how the hall should be furnished?"

"How to furnish it is a matter of waiting for the owner of this palace to choose in the future. How can it be reasonable for the ministers to come and see it at this time?" Xie Yi declined politely.

A palace official stepped forward and took away the clean water that had just been cleaned.Liu Zao was not discouraged when Xie Yi declined, and continued to persuade, "Wouldn't it be too late by then? I can trust Mr. Xie, so there is no need to refuse Mr. Xie."

"How can it be late?" Xie Yi smiled, after choosing the candidate, he performed the six rituals, the period was less than three months, and the divination still needed to predict good and bad times, and set a good time, why is it so urgent to set up the palace?

He couldn't be fooled.Xie Xiang was so calm and composed that Liu Zao was at a loss for words. She summoned Xie Xiang to arrange the Jiaofang Hall together. It was originally a shy thought of her daughter's family. Now that she is rejected again and again, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, her cheeks puffed up, and said : "Even if it's too late, it's okay to take a look now, sir, don't refuse me."

Xie Yi fell silent.

Liu Zao was worried and angry, she was so domineering, yet she didn't deserve her thanks.She simply stood up, took two steps, pointed to the empty space in front of her and said: "I think it's better to deal with a screen."

After she said that, she waited, but Xie Yi still didn't speak.Liu Zaoda was discouraged, and said in his heart, yes, Xie Xiang is a powerful minister, how could he have the heart to arrange the Jiaofang Palace with her little emperor.When she thought about it like this, her heart felt as if she had been poked, blood came out from her heart, and it hurt sharply.

"Your Majesty's intention is very elegant, the screen should be faced with mountains and rivers." Xie Yi's voice sounded behind her.

Liu Zao suddenly felt pleasantly surprised, she turned her head and saw Xie Yi looking at her with a smile.The smile on her brows and eyes was as calm and warm as a spring flower, Liu Zao pursed her lips and followed suit with a smile, all the anxiety and depression just now dissipated, nodded and said: "Exactly."

Xie Yi thought to himself, after all, he was still a child. During the past few days in the court, seeing His Majesty's words and deeds, he was always sophisticated and shrewd, forcing Liang Ji to back down step by step, but in private, he still showed his anger and joy on his face.

Xie Yi also stood up, followed Liu Zao, and gave some pointers in the hall. Every time she said something, an eunuch would write it down behind her. Listen to what Xie Yi likes.

Xie Yi always felt that His Majesty's temperament would not do things for no reason. She remembered that His Majesty was drunk that day and confided in her that he had a crush on her. She couldn't help guessing whether it was related to that person. Maybe His Majesty wanted to decorate the Jiaofang Hall first. To please that person.

Thinking of this, Xie Yi felt a little displeased. I don't know which young man it is, he is so delicate, His Majesty is always thinking of that person, and he is afraid that he will be wronged in the future.

Liu Zao didn't know what Xie Yi was thinking, so he was very happy, and after being instructed by the hall, he was immediately satisfied.This is at the mercy of Xiang Xie, and Xiang Xie will definitely like it in the future.

Xie Yi was originally dissatisfied, but seeing Liu Zao's joyful eyes, the dissatisfaction dissipated.As long as His Majesty is happy, the rest is not so important.

At dusk, the two came out of the palace.Seeing that nothing happened, Xie Yi took leave first, and told Liu Zao not to get wet on the wound on his hands, and he had to be extra careful these few days.

Hearing her words of concern, Liu Zao was already overjoyed in his heart, and nodded calmly on his face: "I know, Xie Qing has a heart."

Xie Yi smiled slightly, looked at Jiaofangdian again, and turned around to leave.

Liu Zao watched her go, and waited until her back disappeared, then turned his eyes away and went to Xuanshi Hall.

As soon as Xie Yi left, Liu Zao regained his composure. She went to the publicity room and said to Hu Ao, "Preach the matter of me and Xie Xiangjiu's stay in the pepper room."

Weiyang Palace is very big, Liu Zao can't control the corners, how many eyes and ears are there among the many palace people, she can't spare time to pay attention to it, but the people around her are all clean and clear emperors .

She is no longer like a year ago, where she went every day and how many steps she took, everyone would know.If you don't spread it intentionally, the ministers may have to wait for several days to hear the news.

Hu Ao knew that His Majesty had a plan in mind, so he fulfilled his promise and went down to implement the matter.

The next day, the voice of asking for the emperor's husband came up again, and the ministers only thought that His Majesty went to the pepper room to show his eagerness and called to thank the prime minister. They were afraid that the two had talked about something.

Liang Ji had just suppressed the momentum, but unexpectedly the emperor went to the Jiaofang Hall, and the ministers started shouting again, and suddenly became very anxious, and had to enter the palace to ask the Queen Mother for instructions.

The Empress Dowager was also surprised that the little emperor was so obsessed with Xie Yi, and even the palace servants who were half alike made her at a loss, how could she be in a hurry to establish an emperor's husband?

She couldn't find the reason, so she went to the announcement room to inquire.

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor did not see each other very often.The two are only five years apart, they are not mother and daughter, let alone have a deep relationship.It is also embarrassing to see each other from time to time.Therefore, the Queen Mother has not seen Liu Zao for more than a month.

When she came back and saw Liu Zao goodbye, she sighed in her heart.The little emperor grew up too fast.In the past, he was still a little green, but now when he sees you again, he is calm and calm, with a look of joy and anger, and he can take it in and out freely.

When she saw the queen mother, she first smiled lightly, then got up and greeted her: "Why is the queen mother here?"

The queen mother put away her thoughts and said, "Come and see Your Majesty."

Liu Zao gave way and welcomed her to the throne, while he sat aside and ordered all the palace people to step down.

The people who screened out of the palace had something to say, and this time it was the queen mother who came to find her, and if she had something to say, it was the queen mother, not her.But she directly made people retreat, which showed that she was confident and took the initiative.

Sure enough, as soon as the palace gate was closed, Liu Zao asked with a smile, "Why is the Queen Mother looking for me?"

She asked straightforwardly, and the Queen Mother did not beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "I never knew that His Majesty cared so much about the imperial husband. Thank you, Prime Minister..."

Before she finished speaking, Liu Zao shook her head, her eyebrows stretched, and her posture relaxed: "Xie Xiang is Xie Xiang, and the emperor is the emperor's husband. How can it be trifling with the affairs of the country? This is not a matter for me alone. Let alone the elder After marriage, I can have one more person to help me, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

According to the current situation, the imperial concubine must come from the family of an important minister, which has long been a consensus between the court and China.Once you become a foreign relative, you will share weal and woe with the emperor, which is also inevitable.

The queen mother couldn't believe it, this is the person who couldn't help but blush when she mentioned thanking her that day, she held back her anger, and said: "Xie Yi is very high-minded, your majesty has a middle palace, even if she becomes one of the lower ranks Prisoners, and cannot communicate with His Majesty."

Liu Zao showed surprise, and said, "Since she is a prisoner and a plaything, why should I have a heart-to-heart relationship with her?"
