Xie Xiang

Liu Zao tossed and turned on the bed, after a while, he felt sleepy, drifting between half-dream and half-awake the whole night, woke up the next day, hurriedly washed and dressed himself, and was about to summon Xie Yi.

When Hu Ao saw it, he hurriedly stopped him, and persuaded him: "It's too early, and there is no urgent matter recently, so it's not suitable for an urgent call, so it's better to wait an hour."

In winter, the dawn is late, and looking out of the window at this time, it is still dark.

Liu Zao thought so, and walked back and forth in the hall twice, holding each other anxiously with his left and right hands.

"Why don't your majesty go and review the memorial first?" Hu Ao tentatively asked.

Liu Zao thought about it, it's okay, after he transferred to the case, he asked people to bring up the memorial.

There is no major event in the empire recently, Liu Zao hastily looked at it a few times, thinking that there is no major event, which can just make her calm down and tidy up the government affairs.It's just that this matter should not be taken too hastily, as things can change in haste, she still wants to be more stable.

As soon as he sank his heart, the time passed quickly, and when Liu Zao circled a few playbooks, he chose two from them, and when he wanted to call people to discuss matters, two hours had passed.

The prime minister is in charge of the affairs of state, and Xie Yi is the prime minister, which has an advantage, that is, whenever the emperor wants to call people to discuss matters, she can come.

Liu Zao sent people to summon the relevant ministers into the announcement room, his sinking heart rose again, he lowered his head to look at the playbook, then raised his head to look at the gate of the palace, thinking why the prime minister hadn't come yet, and secretly blamed the person who called for it, It must be that they walked slowly and were delayed on the way.

After waiting for half an hour, a loud announcement came from outside the hall: "All ministers have an audience."

The temple door was pushed open from the outside.

Liu Zao sat up straight suddenly, his body was tense and stiff, and he stared at the gate of the palace intently.

First, the warm sunshine came in through the door and sprinkled on the floor, as if covered with a layer of golden clothes, and then there was the figure of her day and night, the sun shone in from behind her, her body was bathed in golden light, and she could not see clear appearance.

Liu Zao's heart was pounding, and he looked at her with wide eyes.Xie Yi took two steps forward, stepped out of the halo, and appeared in front of the emperor clearly.

She walked to the five steps in front of the royal case, and waited for the three ministers behind her to enter the hall and stand still, before they bowed down together: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Liu Zao said, "Your honor is free." All the ministers thanked them and got up together.

Liu Zao's eyes fell directly on Xie Yi, Xie Yi raised his head, and met her eyes, Liu Zao pursed his lips and smiled, and blinked at her, Xie Yi felt that she was too bold, she kept making small moves in front of people, it can be seen Her bright eyes were bright, her smile was bright, and she couldn't help feeling sorry for her, so she also smiled with her.

Satisfied, Liu Zao swept away his anxiety and discussed matters with several ministers in a hale and hearty way.

What is discussed is the matter of Zhengdan.Three days later, it will be Zhengdan. After the Zhengdan festival, there will be a seven-day holiday. During the seven days, there will be no court, no government offices, and the king and his subjects will have a good New Year.In this way, everything needs to be arranged beforehand to prevent any unexpected events during the seven days.Furthermore, since it's the Chinese New Year, public servants and common people have all their leisure time, and they rarely visit relatives and friends. Chang'an City is bound to be overcrowded and lively everywhere, and public security matters must not be sloppy.

These are all things that are discussed once before Zhengdan every year. According to the convention, the deficiencies of the previous year will be corrected, that is.Several ministers are used to doing things, only one is Liu Zao who was newly promoted the year before last. He is still unfamiliar with everything in this official position before March, but it doesn't matter. Since he was promoted, he is naturally capable of doing things. Coping well.

After Liu Zao finished his orders, he asked again: "When will the talented man I want come to Beijing?"

There is a special person to handle this matter, but that person is not in the hall, so Xie Yi stepped forward and reported: "The holy will has been sent to the county, and the county will select talents. When the snow melts in the next year, it will be the day when Jun Yan enters the capital .”

Liu Zao said solemnly: "It's very kind, it suits my heart very much."

Xie Yi had no choice but to answer, no matter how well the ministers answered, His Majesty would at most say a good thing, she just responded casually, and since the matter was not done by her, His Majesty is very kind, and being very kind is not enough, one more thing to add It fits my heart very well.

So partial, too obvious.

But Liu Zao didn't think there was anything wrong, and after the discussion, she left Xie Yi alone.Xie Yi wanted to persuade her to restrain herself, but before she could speak, Liu Zao excitedly stood up from the couch, and said to her, "Qing will follow me to the garden."

Xie Yi thought that it would not be too late to persuade her later, so she said, "No."

The scenery in the garden is familiar and nothing new, but with Xie Yi in his company, Liu Zao feels that even the old scenery is very beautiful. All retreated.

Hu Ao knew that she must want to be alone with Mrs. Xie, maybe there was an act of intimacy, so he dismissed all the people, and retreated to a distance by himself, always keeping an eye on this side, in case His Majesty suddenly gave orders.

The water in the pool is frozen, and the ice is covered with white snow, which is covered with snow and reflects the sun.As soon as the person retreated, Liu Zao had nothing to hide, and stared at Xie Yi intently. Xie Yi made her blush, forced herself to calm down, and asked lightly, "What is Your Majesty looking at?"

Liu Zao said bluntly and honestly: "I think you look good in the sun, but just now when you entered the palace, I was dumbfounded."

She was always so straightforward, Xie Yi felt happy but also ashamed, and turned her head away.Liu Zao could only see her side face, and she was so moved by seeing it, she leaned forward and kissed the corner of Xie Yi's lips.

Xie Yi was shocked, looked around and saw that there was no one there, so she felt relieved, put on the airs of an elder, and said, "In broad daylight, don't be rude!"

Liu Zao was not afraid of her at all, instead he leaned forward and said softly, "I miss you very much, I couldn't sleep well last night, I missed you all the time, do you miss me?"

It's fine in the room, but outside, she is still so frivolous and has no intention of repenting, Xie Yi doesn't want to talk to her.

Liu Zao doesn't know what's on her mind, or maybe she knows it, but the youthful nature has always been straightforward and reckless, so it's just a matter of covering it up in front of others, and she doesn't want to restrain herself anymore.

Seeing that Xie Yi didn't answer, she said again: "I slept on the bed in our cave last night, and there was your breath on it, it was sweet, and it smelled so good, it disturbed my mind and made me sleep harder. It's good to be around, don't you miss me when you are at home?"

When Xie Yi heard her mentioning Dongfu, she thought of how indulgent she was that night, and her face turned red, and then she listened to her obediently telling her missing, and persistently asked her if she missed her, so she couldn't harden her heart, bit her lips, and replied :"I miss you as well."

Liu Zao was instantly satisfied, and the restless longing from yesterday's parting was only now filled. She smiled all over her face and said, "It's best if two people are in love with each other."

I didn't think much of it before, but since accepting His Majesty, Xie Yi often thinks of the years when she rejected her and hurt her heart. Every time I think of it, I feel distressed and blame myself. She shouldn't have been hurt like this.But His Majesty didn't complain at all, she didn't want to see it, so she covered up her love, she didn't want to hear it, so she kept silent, trying to satisfy her instead of disturbing her.

Even now, she just said contentedly that it is best for two people to be happy.

Xie Yi actually wanted to be strict with her. It is better to suppress the temperament of a young person, besides, a gentleman should know how to restrain himself and not give up his selfishness because of his feelings, but once he is alone with her and listens to her express his feelings, she will Nothing can be harsh.

Liu Zao started to say silly things again: "Then how do you miss me?" She wanted to thank Xiang, but couldn't sleep well, she wanted to know what Xie Xiang thought of her.

Without paying attention, Xie Yi was brought to the same level by her, and replied, "I'm going to pack the dowry."

Liu Zao's eyes lit up, and he said, "No need to take too much, bring it here quickly, and I'll store it for you in the warehouse of Jiaofangdian."

Xie Yi still wanted to be more careful, but seeing her anxious, she agreed, "Okay."

Liu Zao thought of something else, grabbed Xie Yi's hand, and asked, "What are Prime Minister Xie's plans for the seven-day holiday after Zhengdan?"

This is what it means to live with her, Xie Yi is very self-conscious: "I have no plans for now, I don't know what your Majesty wants?"

Liu Zao didn't have any plans, but after thinking about it, she came up with many ideas, and she said them one by one, asking for Xie Yi's opinion.Xie Yi listened, and really cared, she chose a feasible one, discussed it with her, and quickly settled on it.

The sun was in full swing, before she knew it, half of the day had passed, Xie Yi had been in the palace for too long and was about to leave, and there were still many official documents on her desk that needed to be dealt with urgently.

Liu Zao knew that their business should be the most important thing, but she just couldn't bear it, hugged Xie Yi into her arms, and said to her: "Take care of yourself, don't work too hard." She knew that Xie Yi would often stay up late when things were busy.

Xie Yi nodded and told her, "You too."

Liu Zao felt a little regretful, she shouldn't have kept her thank you for so long, she was already busy at the end of the year, and she took up a lot of her time, so she let go of her hand and said, "Go quickly."

Not far away, behind the dense forest, Li Lin looked at this place in surprise. There were rumors that His Majesty and the Prime Minister had been in close contact with each other a while ago, but firstly, His Majesty was furious, and secondly, the Prime Minister was always so clear, and there was no shame in hearing the rumors The color quickly dissipated, she thought it was mostly rumors, and she didn't want her to see this scene.

She couldn't enter the inner palace here, but because His Majesty likes Cuju, she organized a manpower, and the Jujube is in the inner garden, so she got a warrant to enter and leave the inner palace.Today is to go to the bow court to see how the people are practicing. I want to have a competition after Zhengdan to celebrate the New Year.

Unexpectedly, she broke the secret.

Over there, Xie Yi gave a salute, turned around and left, the emperor watched her after her, and did not get up until Xie Yi walked away and his figure disappeared.

Frightened, Li Lin came out from behind the dense forest and walked to the poolside, where Emperor Cai stood facing each other.Nothing was left here, but Li Lin could almost see His Majesty embracing the Prime Minister, how tender and sweet it was.

She turned from fear to expectation. Since His Majesty can get along with the prime minister, why can't he be with her?She feels that she is talented without a prime minister, but she is superior in her youth, and her youth is just right, so His Majesty may not be tempted.

The more Li Lin thought about it, the more she felt hopeful, and with a heart of turbulent expectation, she hurried away.

When Xie Yi left the emperor, Fang remembered that she originally wanted to persuade His Majesty to restrain himself, but for some reason she forgot and allowed her to be frivolous again and again in broad daylight.

Xie Yi was helpless, thinking that next time, she must be more prudent, and not let His Majesty do anything else.
