Xie Xiang

Xie Yi's eyebrows were long and curved, with a broad and clear air, adding to her soft face an air of calmness and indifference.Liu Zao looked at it carefully, thinking about what kind of eyebrows to draw for her.

During Emperor Wu's reign, Zhuo Wenjun, the wife of Sima Xiangru, had eyebrows as beautiful as the distant mountains.Liu Zao has seen Yuan Shanmei in the beauty pictures, and it is indeed beautiful, but Yuan Shanmei is beautiful and gentle, suitable for a virtuous woman who manages a house.Xie Xiang is naturally gentle and virtuous, but she is a prime minister, although she is gentle on the inside, she needs to be virtuous and strict on the outside.They still have to go out today, they will be seen by outsiders, Yuanshanmei is not suitable.

That's the character eyebrow?Embarrassed eyebrows?Long eyebrows?

Liu Zao felt that it was not suitable, no matter what eyebrow shape, in her eyes, it seemed that it was far from being suitable for Xie Yi, and it couldn't match Xie Yi one-tenth of a million times better.

She hesitated for a long time, Xie Yi couldn't help but look up at her, Liu Zao noticed her gaze, and said seriously: "You are too good-looking, your ordinary style doesn't match you, let me think about it carefully."

She praised her straightforwardness, Xie Yi lowered her eyes slightly, and nodded slightly.Liu Zao didn't notice Xie Yi's slight shyness, she pondered for a long time, and finally sketched out a new pattern, took a snail, dabbed a little, and gently traced along the shape of Xie Yi's eyebrows.

Xie Yi closed her eyes, her brows felt a little itchy, and as she swept across them, she could feel how seriously this man was painting her brows.

After a while, Liu Zao stopped. She looked at Xie Yi carefully, showed a happy smile, and said, "It's done."

Xie Yi opened her eyes and looked into the mirror. Her eyebrows were curved like a crescent moon, thinner than the usual willow-leaf eyebrows, thicker in black, slightly pointed at both ends, but not sharp. It has a lofty and far-reaching meaning, unexpectedly matching Xie Yi.

"I've never seen this style before." Xie Yi looked into the mirror and said.

Liu Zao said: "I just thought of it, do you like it?"

Xie Yi smiled and said, "I like it."

Liu Zao was immediately proud, and said: "You are still beautiful, no matter how you draw it, it looks good."

Xie Yi glanced at her with anger.

At this time the door was knocked, Liu Zao said: "Come in."

Hu Ao pushed the door open with a smile and walked in. He walked up to the two of them, saluted, and said first, "Greetings, Your Majesty." Then he said, "I have seen the Prime Minister."

As soon as the word "Prime Minister" came out, he blamed himself again with a smile, knelt down, pretended to plead guilty and said: "Look at this look, how can you still be called a prime minister, you should be paying homage to Your Highness the Empress."

Xie Yi smiled and said, "Get up."

Hu Ao got up happily, and said again: "I have become the No. 1 court congratulations, your majesty will bless you."

Liu Zao also smiled, but her smile was very faint, and said: "Give me a hundred gold."

Hu Ao immediately thanked him endlessly, and after finishing his compliments, he said: "The car is ready."

Liu Zao nodded, and said to Xie Yi, "Let's go to visit my grandmother together."

The bride gets started and meets the elders.She doesn't want to sacrifice to the ancestors openly, but she can go to offer incense to the old lady, and in Liu Zao's heart, only the old lady is the closest to the elders.

Xie Yi stood up and said, "Okay."

They went out together, boarded the car, and went to the old house.

Liu Zao was a little depressed when Hu Ao called out the queen.Xie Yi could tell that His Majesty's depression was due to the word "Queen", and no one shouted after leaving the Jiaofang Hall, even Hu Ao, after today, I'm afraid it would not be so appropriate.

"This is already very good, I am very satisfied, and you should not feel regretful, it is a very good thing that we can be together." Xie Yi comforted.

Liu Zao nodded, then shook his head again.If Prime Minister Xie was in the same age as her, she would naturally be able to wait. Five years or ten years, the total energy consumption would reach the point when no one in the court dared to say no. It's like wasting, so I had to think of such a compromise.But this is not the result.

Liu Zao said: "It is a good thing that we can be together, but we must have nothing less."

Xie Yi didn't want to embarrass her, so she persuaded: "Don't risk the displeasure of the world for me."

Liu Zao smiled, took Xie Yi's hand, spread her palm on her lap, then lowered her head, and kissed her palm.Itchy, like thunder, directly hitting the heart.Liu Zao looked at her and said firmly: "It's not for you, but for us. I want to hold hands with you openly, live in the same room with you, sleep in the same couch, sleep in the mausoleum with you, and share sacrifices. We are inseparable."

Xie Yi's heart was already moved by her kiss on the palm of his hand, but listening to her words made his heart move even more.She suddenly felt that she was indeed old, so she did not have the vigor, confidence and determination of His Majesty.What she thought about was how to avoid troubles for her, how to make her live comfortably, but she never thought that the Empress Dowager is actually not her own business, but theirs, and she should fight for it just like His Majesty.

"Okay, we won't be separated." Xie Yi said.

Liu Zao looked at her with great joy.

They soon arrived at the old house.

After the old lady passed away, Liu Zao adopted a nephew for the old lady in order to continue the incense. Later, she gave the man a house and let him live elsewhere.This place has become an empty house, only servants and maidservants clean it every day, and there is no master to live in.

They entered the house and went straight into the hall, where the old lady's spiritual tablet was enshrined.The two lit incense and paid their respects together. After kowtowing, Liu Zao silently prayed and told his intentions in his heart.

They didn't know whether the old man would be furious if he saw the two falling in love if he was alive, or would he accept it helplessly. Xie Yi leaned towards the former and felt very apologetic.Liu Zao was more optimistic, she thought that even if her grandmother couldn't understand for the time being, after a long time, seeing that she and Xiang Xie had a good life, she would definitely be tolerant.

When I saw the old lady, it was noon.The two simply stayed in the old house and ate lunch.Hu Ao arranged it properly, and the meal was also a festive good intention.

After lunch, Liu Zao led Xie Yi to the place where she lived when she was young.

Although she seldom comes, everything in the room is as it was before, and the quilt on the couch is changed from time to time.

Liu Zao thought that it was time to take a rest because she was too tired to say goodbye last night, so she took a nap with Xie Yi.Xie Yi was also really tired, she fell asleep almost as soon as she closed her eyes, and had a good night's sleep.

This sleep was sweet and reassuring, and it was nearly dusk when I woke up.

After the two freshened up, Liu Zao sent Xie Yi back home.

She was very sad and felt that time was passing too fast.It's also a pity that if she can stand uprightly, she won't have to send her thank you back to the prime minister's mansion.

Seeing her expression, Xie Yi knew what she was thinking, and comforted her, "Why don't I send His Majesty back to the palace."

It was not too late, she sent His Majesty back to the palace, and she had time to get back to the mansion before dark.

Liu Zao shook his head: "It's too hard to go back and forth." Besides, even if Prime Minister Xie sent her to the gate of the palace, she would be reluctant.

Xie Yi was a little at a loss, and thought, why not go back to the palace and spend the night with His Majesty.But yesterday she did not come out after entering the palace, she must have been in the eyes of the ministers, today they went out of the palace together, after entering Shangguanli, she passed the gate of the mansion but did not enter, and went back with His Majesty, which made people suspicious.

Xie Yi hesitated for a moment, then said: "Why don't I go back to the palace with Your Majesty." Before His Majesty revealed his intentions for becoming a queen, even if there were people discussing that they were too close, most of them would talk about her deceiving the Lord, and there would be no disrespectful words towards her.

But what she could think of, Liu Zao could also think of. She sighed, smiled, and said, "No need, I'm going back."

Seeing this, Xie Yi knew that she had figured it out, and saluted, "Respectfully send Your Majesty off."

Liu Zao turned around and took two steps, then turned around suddenly, strode over to Xie Yi's side, and whispered softly in her ear, "Yi'er, I will miss you."

Immediately, blushing, he fled quickly and got into the car.

Her movements were quick and sensitive, and before Xie Yi could react, she disappeared.Xie Yi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help smiling.

She watched Liu Zao's car drive until it disappeared before entering the mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw that the mansion was full of candles.It is still bright at this time, so it is not possible to light the lamp early at this time.Xie Yi was surprised and called Chang Shi to ask.

Chang Shi was also puzzled, and replied: "Yesterday, His Majesty sent Huangmen into the mansion, and ordered the officials to keep the lights of the Prime Minister's Mansion on for three days and three nights, and they must not be extinguished in the middle."

It was only then that Xie Yi remembered that according to the etiquette, after the wedding, the bride's home must be lit for three days to show her daughter's reluctance to part, and the new son-in-law's home will have no dancing and music for three days to show solemnity and extend to the heirs.

Just now outside the door, Xie Yi was only focused on comforting Liu Zao's parting, she didn't think of herself at all, when she saw the candles in the courtyard and listened to Chang Shi's words, she realized that she didn't want to give up, she also wanted to be able to Always with Liu Zao.A wind blew up in the empty courtyard, making people feel cold all over the body, and I also missed the warmth of yesterday's pillow banquet even more.

Xie Yi took out the herring pendant from her sleeve pocket, held it in the palm of her hand, and told Chang Shi, "Open the storeroom, I'm going to have a look." She promised to make up for the dowry. Then go to pick the dowry.

On the other side, Liu Zao went back to the palace, she was originally going to the proclamation room, but after sitting in the proclamation room for a while, she felt that her longing was like a flood, and she was defeated.No matter whether she was reading the notebook or reading the classics, she couldn't calm down, she couldn't see anything in her mind, and was firmly occupied by Xie Yi's figure.

She had to give up meditation and went to Jiaofang Hall.The hall looks the same as before, on the dressing table, the Luo Dai, which she painted on the eyebrows to thank Xiang Xiang, is still there.Liu Zao walked over, picked up the box of snails, put it in the palm of his hand, and stared at it for a long time.

It's strange to say that she missed Xiang Xie in the past, but she has never been so intense at this time. Even in the period when they were most strangers, she missed Xiang Xie and felt uncomfortable, but she only felt distressed and could sink her heart Deal with the government.Now that she has got her, it is so unbearable that she is only separated for a moment, and she misses her endlessly like three autumns.

Liu Zao couldn't figure out why, she lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, just wanted to get through the night quickly, and tomorrow she could use an excuse to discuss matters and summon Xiang Xie to her side.
