128 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” Marriage Letter

The matter of Yan Zhaozhao’s enthronement was finalized, and as soon as the imperial edict came down, Xie Ciyan couldn’t wait to order him to go down and make arrangements.The Ministry of Rites went to inquire, and the emperor’s original words were that there was no need to care about money, everything should be of the best, from the phoenix crown to the small banquet meals.

As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, no one in the palace dared to show any slightest indifference. They all carried their heads tightly around their necks and went about their errands, fearing that if they made a wrong move, they would suffer disaster.

The palace people were busy up and down, and the sound of anxious footsteps sounded from time to time at the entrance of the palace, adding a touch of reality.To this day, Yan Zhaozhao is still in a daze, and the loud words of her thank you that day are still lingering in her ears. Every time she thinks of it, her heart feels warmer, and her mouth is filled with sweetness, as if she had eaten a sweet fruit, sweet and satisfying.

Bi Luo couldn’t help but smile when she saw her young lady leaning on the soft couch in a daze, and walked over to fan her with a fan in hand.”Miss, the imperial edict has been handed down for several days, why do you still look so unbelievable?” She joked with a smile, “Is the lady nervous?”

Yan Zhaozhao’s cheeks were slightly red, and she glanced sideways at the eunuchs and maids who were constantly coming and going, and said softly: “I can’t believe it.” She turned back to look at Bi Luo, her twinkling eyes revealing a bit of uneasiness, “Bi Luo, tell me…can I really marry Xie Ciyan? It feels so unreal…”

“Bah, bah, bah!” Bi Luo looked stern, and did not bother to fan Yan Zhaozhao, but said directly: “Miss, don’t talk nonsense, you are the only hostess in this palace now, and you are a noble and blessed daughter. Don’t say such depressing words to make the Bodhisattva listen.” After saying this, she clasped her palms together and bowed around her, muttering a few auspicious words in her mouth.

Yan Zhaozhao’s expression tightened, and she pursed her lips as if she was worried that what she just said would be effective, but she did not worship him like Bi Luo did, and only sighed heavily.She didn’t mean to say anything depressing, but things always gave her a sense of emptiness, as if her feet were not firmly on the ground and she was scared.

Bi Luo has been with her young lady since she was a child, knowing how difficult it is for her, and even more so why she is uneasy now.Miss… she has never had any hope for things that have not been settled.Just like when she was a child, the young lady saw the master coming back with sweet rose cakes in his hands. She thought it was a snack that the master had brought to her, and she happily went to greet him, but in the end she was scolded for being ignorant.

Since then, the young lady has been particularly prone to feeling uneasy. Even if someone brings her a favorite rose cake, she will subconsciously think that it is not something given to her, and she will not dare to take a look at it.These things have been deeply ingrained in the young lady’s heart, so much so that to this day, she still dares not to have hope for anything, fearing that the thing she is about to hold will slip quietly through her fingers.

Although Yan Zhaozhao was still worried, Xie Ciyan seemed to have prepared everything in advance, and the things she had accumulated for a long time could finally be handed over to her hands one by one.The style of the phoenix crown and harem was all decided by him personally and then sent to the clothing workshop to be sewn by more than a dozen skilled embroiderers. Every stitch and thread was not sloppy, so that his beloved would wear the most gorgeous and beautiful clothes in the world to marry him.

In the afternoon of this day, more than a dozen eunuchs walked calmly into the dormitory courtyard, all carrying heavy boxes on their shoulders, with a very beautiful red silk tied to them.Xie Ciyan’s dragon chariot followed the eunuch behind her. He did not wear the black dragon robe today, but instead wore a rare dark blue shirt. He walked towards her step by step, with the bell still hanging around his waist. It made a nice crisp sound when he walked. Yan Zhaozhao’s originally calm heart suddenly felt like a stone falling into a lake, with ripples appearing.

“This…” Yan Zhaozhao was a little confused. As soon as he asked for his hand, he was suddenly held by the man. It was as if the young boy couldn’t wait to announce his sweetheart to the whole world, and the rest of his words were blocked in his throat.

Xie Ciyan handed her a red booklet with a satisfied smile on his face.”Open it and take a look?” He motioned to Yan Zhaozhao to start reading, while he explained it to her in detail from one side.”These are the betrothal gifts for me to marry you. There are no close family members in Chang’an now, so you can collect the betrothal gifts yourself without my intervention.” After saying this, he said to Bi Luo who was standing on one side, “Keep it safe for your mother-in-law, and don’t let her worry about it.”

Bi Luo hadn’t finished reading the dozens of betrothal gifts in front of her. She was startled when she heard the emperor’s voice. Then she realized that he was talking to her and hurriedly responded.

Not to mention Bi Luo, even Yan Zhaozhao looked in disbelief, “So many…all for me?”

Xie Ciyan shook his head. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard him say: “This is only part of it. Some of it is being moved from the treasury. I think it will be delivered here in a few days.”

Yan Zhaozhao was really confused now, and blurted out: “Are you crazy?!” As if he realized that he had behaved inappropriately, he immediately lowered his eyes in embarrassment, moved closer to him, and whispered, “Are you going to empty out the treasury?”

Xie Ciyan didn’t notice anything wrong, “From now on, you are the only one in my harem. The things from my daughter’s family in the treasury are of no use to me, so I might as well give them all to you.”

Yan Zhaozhao suddenly remembered that what the deposed emperor loved most in the past were precious things that could be given to his concubines. There were many concubines in the harem, and whenever enemy countries paid tribute to the deposed emperor, he would also ask for more treasures that his daughter’s family liked so that they could be given to the concubines. I think these things now hold the most in the treasury.But she still felt something was wrong, there were too many. Just as she was about to speak, Xie Ciyan took her into the palace one step ahead of her.

Bi Luo was very eye-catching and did not follow her inside. She closed the palace door behind her back and took several palace maids to count the betrothal gifts.

Xie Ciyan sat on the chair, and at the same time pulled Yan Zhaozhao into his arms and sat down.Then, he took out the letter from his arms. Different from the ordinary letter, this one was actually dyed red, and the edges were outlined with gold thread, making it even more exquisite and beautiful.

“The most important thing I came here for today is not the betrothal gift from outside.” He shook the red letter in his hand.”I want to write our marriage letter with Zhaozhao.”

Xie Ciyan looked serious, his eyes full of affection.The tip of her heart trembled slightly, as if winter had ushered in spring withered plum blossoms, a warmth flowed through her, and a shy smile crept up to the corner of her mouth.She nodded solemnly, “Okay!”

The two looked at each other and smiled. Xie Ciyan picked up a vermilion wolf-hair pen, dipped it in ink mixed with gold powder, and asked Yan Zhaozhao to write. His big palm immediately covered the back of her hand, holding her little hand tightly in his palm, and outlined each stroke in detail.

The roaring mountains and rivers take it as proof, and the worship of gods and ghosts takes it as evidence.

From then on, the height of the mountain did not hinder his ambition, and the depth of the cave continued his journey.

The passage of time does not destroy its meaning, and the wind and frost do not conceal its feelings.

Even though the road ahead is full of thorns,

I will also hold hands and move forward without fear.

In this life, never leave.

Forever and ever, we promise to obey each other.

A pair for life.

When the pen and ink stop, the marriage contract is completed.The names of the two should have been mentioned, but Xie Ciyan’s hand did not move. Yan Zhaozhao was confused and looked sideways at him, but she did not expect that the former turned his head and stared at her profile at some point.”What…what happened?”

He looked at her, his eyes overflowing with endless tenderness and lasting smile, floating soft waves, as if countless love threads were surging, trying to surround her.”I finally…want to marry my sweetheart and go home.”

A word that sounded like a murmur, but it was like plucking the strings of a piano, making her heart no longer calm.

Xie Ciyan tightened her hand and clenched her pen again to write.

I wish you a thousand years of worry-free life.

Secondly, I wish you good health and success.

My third wish is that I will marry you as husband and wife, and we will grow old in a hundred years.

This time, without stopping, Xie Ciyan took her hand and dropped their names at the end, side by side, which was very pleasing to the eye, as if even their names seemed to match each other.

Yan Zhaozhao was startled, looking at the three words she had said to him before she heard him say: “Your wish is also my wish.”

Xie Ciyan leaned closer, and the warm breath sprayed on her cheeks. Her nose was filled with the delicious fragrance of albizia flowers. However, for some reason, her throat was tight and her mouth was inexplicably dry. She couldn’t help but poke out a small tip of her tongue to lick her dry lips.”Writing this wish in the marriage letter is my lifelong commitment to you.”

It is a vow that will remain unchanged until death.
