Xie Xiang

Xie Yi was blindfolded, and walked through the door relying only on Liu Zao's lead.

The clear air that removes ice and snow in the air also has a fragrant aroma.She couldn't see anything, but she could feel the different atmosphere around her.Walking through a section of solid stone road, and then turning a corner, she stepped on the soft snow, and when she stepped on it, there was a light rustling sound.

Xie Yi was nervous, where did His Majesty want to take her.She was apprehensive, but she didn't care about position, and let Liu Zao lead her forward.

The Jiaofang Hall is very large, it is not just a magnificent and magnificent hall, there are also supporting palaces, plants, trees, mountains and rocks all around, complementing each other.

Xie Yi lived in this palace for more than ten years, and although there were some changes afterwards, the overall layout remained unchanged.They stopped at a side hall next to the main hall.

Xie Yi thought, what is His Majesty bringing her to this side hall for?

Liu Zao's voice sounded next to his ears: "There are steps, lift your feet."

Xie Yi was still thinking, but she had already listened to Liu Zao's words and stepped up the steps carefully.

Liu Zao looked at her, her face covered by the ribbon was gentle and obedient, the black ribbon reflected her white skin like snow, making her skin extra white, she couldn't see it, she could only tilt her head slightly to listen to the movement, It is rare to show weakness and helplessness.Liu Zao only feels that the heartbeat in this life is at this moment.

Xie Yi felt His Majesty holding her hand tighter. She didn't know what happened, but subconsciously responded with equal force.

They went into the temple.The hall was filled with candles, illuminating the room brightly.Xie Yi could see the candlelight flickering slightly on the ribbon.She walked in slowly, and when she reached a certain place, she heard Liu Zao say, "It's done."

Xie Yi followed her advice and stopped. She heard the sound of the palace door closing, and she untied her belt with one hand.Xie Yi was embarrassed, she took a step back, her face was a little nervous.

Liu Zao also realized that she had forgotten to speak, and hurriedly said, "I, I will change clothes for you."

It turned out that it was time to change clothes, Xie Yi also responded: "Yes, good." Before he finished speaking, his face turned red.

Liu Zao was dumbfounded, and after a while, until Xie Yi was a little uneasy, and wanted to raise her hand to remove the ribbon, she came back to her senses and hurriedly untied her belt.

Xie Yi remained motionless, allowing her to take off her clothes.She felt a lightness on her body, and the outer robe was taken off, and then, the cold cloth was attached to her middle coat, and she put on a new shirt.

Liu Zao had never changed clothes for others, so her movements were a little clumsy, but she was extremely careful, conscientious, trying to restrain her nervousness, and put on the clothes she had prepared earlier for Xie Yi.

Xie Yi put on the new shirt, which was a bit thick and weighty. Feeling the materials and the repeated patterns on the clothes, it was even more dignified than her prime minister's court clothes.Liu Zao walked away, Xie Yi heard her walking towards the inner hall gradually.After a while, she came back and said nothing, just said: "Okay, follow me."

After she finished speaking, she took Xie Yi's hand like when she came here, and led her out.

They left the side hall, Liu Zao took Xie Yi to another road, this road was covered with a long red carpet.Walking through the red carpet, they stepped up the high jade steps again.

Xie Yi took a step and counted in her heart, she walked to the top, a total of 81 steps, this is the main hall of Jiaofang Hall.The main hall is the place where the queen meets the ministers, but all important events are here.

Xie Yi stepped over the threshold, and heard the ceremony and music in the hall, and the sound of chime bells was like the sound of heaven.

"We're here." Liu Zao said.She went around behind Xie Yi and untied the ribbon.

Xie Yi's eyes lit up, and the scene in the palace came into view.

The whole hall is solemn and solemn, and there are music officials on one side, who perform rites and music together, and the rites and music are solemn, which makes people respect.In the middle of the main hall, the censer exudes curling smoke, hanging accessories, placing objects, newly laid lichen, and various other things to decorate the hall as a place for a big wedding.

Xie Yi saw that the clothes she was wearing were exactly the wedding dress used by the empress.The black dress is trimmed with red piping, and auspicious clouds and phoenixes are embroidered on the piping.She turned her head to look at Liu Zao, Liu Zao also changed into a robe, matching hers.

Today is their wedding day.

Xie Yi had already guessed a little bit before entering, but when she saw it, she still felt like a dream.

Liu Zao turned to look at her, she was nervous all the way, but somehow she calmed down when she got here, her heart was full of solemnity and awe.She looked at Xie Yi, looked at her face that suddenly became as solemn as hers, and nodded slightly with Hu Ao.

Hu Ao changed into the costume of a courtesy officer. A few days ago, Liu Zao found a reason to give him the title of courtesy officer.This is their wedding, there are many things that cannot be presented, but what can be done, Liu Zao is meticulous and strives to be perfect.

Holding a bamboo slip in his hand, Hu Ao said loudly: "The newlyweds enter the palace, they will eat together in the prison, and they will have sex together."

Liu Zao and Xie Yi walked side by side to the hall and sat facing each other.They looked at each other, both joyful and shy.Some palace people presented a beast, cut off a piece of meat with a dagger, put it in a cauldron, and presented it to the couple.Liu Zao ate a piece first, and Xie Yi ate a piece after that.

Two other palace servants stepped forward, removed the meat and the dagger, and presented a jug of wine.Along with the wine came a pair of paw melons cut open in the middle.The cut paw melon is a drinking utensil, which can hold wine.Liu Zao and Xie Yi each held half, poured fine wine, and took a sip each.

Pao melon is a bit bitter, and when it is poured with fine wine, the wine is also stained with bitterness, implying the meaning of sharing weal and woe.

In this way, eating together in the prison, and eating together together, it is over.

Since the Han Dynasty, according to Zhou etiquette, scholars got married, and the wedding ceremony was dignified and sacred, quiet and meticulous, and extremely ceremonial.The two followed the etiquette and did all the remaining steps. Every time they took a step, they felt that the bond between husband and wife became stronger.

When the etiquette is exhausted, the rest enter the bridal chamber.

It was also dark by this time.Candles were lit throughout the palace.Liu Zao took Xie Yi to the bedroom.

The sleeping hall is different from the main hall, the main hall is decorated in a solemn atmosphere worthy of the queen's status, while the sleeping hall has no corners, every aspect is according to Xie Yi's heart.

"Do you like it?" Liu Zao asked in a low voice.

Xie Yi's eyes were full of tenderness, she looked at her and nodded.

When Liu Zao saw it, his eyes suddenly lit up, full of joy.

Dishes and sake are prepared in the hall, as well as boxes of cloth and gold wares.The cloth and silk are all Qi Wan Shu brocade, which are very valuable, while the gold wares are mostly cups and cups.

Xie Yi's eyes fell on those objects, and Liu Zao explained to her: "This is a dowry gift, and it was originally locked in the vault. But I inquired about it, and said that I want to take some out and put them out to celebrate the festival."

Xie Yi stepped forward, stroked the cloth lightly, and asked, "Have you prepared a lot of betrothal gifts?"

Liu Zao nodded. She came here according to the standards of marrying a queen in the Han Dynasty, and prepared a total of [-] catties of gold as a dowry gift.But she thought that they couldn't show it to others for the time being, and she was very wronged and thanked them, which added a lot.The storehouses of the Jiaofang Temple were full and could not be filled, so she asked people to build two more.

Xie Yi smiled and said, "My dowry will be made up later." The dowry is the money and items that a married daughter brings into her husband's house.

By saying this, she really regarded herself as her wife.Liu Zaoxin's hair was hot, and said: "Yes."

The wedding is simple and elegant, but it also makes them hungry.Liu Zao and Xie Yi had some food after arriving at the food table, Liu Zao was very happy and wanted to drink to cheer up the fun.She can't drink well, but today she was so happy that Xie Yi couldn't help her and drank with her.After Liu Zao drank two cups, he felt warm from heart to body.

She took off her robe and lay down on the bed, Xie Yi went to the dressing table and took off the jewelry.The bronze mirror is polished brightly, engraved with gorgeous patterns and two lines of small characters. The writing in small characters is the light of seeing the sun, and it will never be forgotten.

Xie Yi looked at the words "Never forget each other", and couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, and then through the bronze mirror, he saw Liu Zao lying on the bed, with one hand propping his face, his eyes roving, looking at her.

What's next, needless to say.

The tension that had been pressed down for a long time came out again.After Xie Yi washed up, she walked slowly to the bed.

Liu Zao's gaze moved as she approached, she sat up, knelt upright on the bed, and then looked up at Xie Yi.Xie Yi stopped in front of the bed and looked at her quietly.

Liu Zao straightened up, grabbed Xie Yi's waist, hugged her, and said, "Don't be afraid."

She had taken a bath, and her body had the fresh aroma of acacia, and there was also a slight smell of alcohol, mixed together, it smelled very good.
