129 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” Wedding

After more than a month of careful preparation, the ceremony was finally completed.During this period, the courtiers never stopped thinking about sending their daughters to the harem.Even though the emperor had made it clear at the night banquet, they gritted their teeth and quietly made plans, but they all retreated one by one.

Tomorrow is the queen sealing ceremony, but it is different from ordinary ceremonies.Xie Ciyan was not only a queen, but also a wife. Therefore, he did not violate the cumbersome etiquette of the ancestral system, but he added many folk customs of marrying a wife.

Due to the folk custom that men and women are not allowed to meet each other ten days before marriage, Yan Zhaozhao has not seen Xie Ciyan for several days.In the past, if you missed him, you could just look for him, but now, even if you think about it, you can only hold it in, flipping up the almanac day after day, looking forward to the day of your wedding to him.

Bi Luo extinguished the candles in the hall, and when she was about to go to bed, there was suddenly a slight sound from the window lattice. She sat up and listened carefully, as if someone was tapping the window with pebbles.She lifted the quilt and walked to the window sill, only to see a familiar figure standing outside the window. The person she had missed for many days suddenly appeared in front of her. She was overjoyed. When she was about to raise her hand to open the window, the man made a sound to stop her.

“Don’t open it.” Xie Ciyan leaned against the window lattice and looked sideways at Yan Zhaozhao’s figure in the hall. His eyebrows softened unconsciously, and the gap in his heart that had been vacant for several days was filled at this moment.”Just look at you like this.”

When he said this, Yan Zhaozhao moved his hands, seeming to remember the custom of not being able to meet each other, and had to suppress the longing in his heart.But her bright red mouth still couldn’t help but pout slightly, with displeasure written all over her face.”Then why are you coming here?”

Being separated by a window like this is even more heart-wrenching. The person you want to see is clearly in front of you, but you can’t see each other to express your longing for him.

“I miss my Zhao Zhao so much that I can’t fall asleep. It’s good to come and listen to your voice.” He didn’t want to open the window lattice to see her, and he even wanted to hold her tightly in his arms. However, after remembering those unlucky customs, he still tolerated these thoughts, thinking that tomorrow was the wedding day.

After hearing his words clearly, her cheeks suddenly felt hot, and her heart was beating wildly.”Thank you Ci Yan…” Yan Zhaozhao became more courageous now that the man could not see her.”After not seeing you for the past few days, I realized that I really miss you.” She glanced at the figure outside the window and seemed to freeze. Her cheeks turned redder, but she continued.”In the past, when I first met you, I felt that it didn’t matter even if I couldn’t see you again. I just wanted to live in this deep palace. But I don’t know when it started. I went from missing you after a few days to now, and now I keep thinking about what you are doing and whether you are also missing me after I don’t see you for a day.”

Yan Zhaozhao pressed his palm against the thin window paper. Seeing this, the man outside the window subconsciously raised his hand to cover it.”Thank you, Mr. Lang. I promise you that there is no one else in sight. You are everywhere.”

Xie Ciyan’s throat and hair were stiff, and his eyes looked a bit darker than the night outside.His voice was extremely hoarse, “Zhao Zhaohao, don’t recruit me.”

If she continued talking, he would probably open the window lattice in front of him and take his beloved into his arms, regardless of the customs and auspiciousness.

Yan Zhaozhao’s cheeks were also flushed, and even in the moonlight, the slightly exposed edges of her ears could be seen blushing.She bit her lower lip restrainedly and looked at the figure outside the window, but she couldn’t control the constant throbbing in her heart.Finally, he opened his lips and said, “Thank you, Mr. Sir, come here.”

Although Xie Ciyan was a little confused, he still followed the instructions and got closer.

“Closer.”

He moved closer again, his whole body pressed against the window lattice, and his face was almost pressed against the window paper.,

Yan Zhaozhao’s head was also approaching quietly, and gradually overlapped with the figure, but she still felt that it was not enough, and said again: “Get closer.”

Xie Ciyan had no choice but to follow her words and get closer to the window lattice. His thin lips were already pressed against the window paper. Just when he was about to ask her what she wanted to do, he saw the figure in front of him suddenly coming closer. There was a trace of warmth on his lips. It was fleeting and seemed to be absent, so fast that it seemed like it was his illusion.He was still dazed, but the woman who kissed him and quickly moved away suddenly whispered, like a whisper between lovers, “I’m waiting for Mr. Xie to marry me.”

Before he could say anything, Yan Zhaozhao’s figure quickly left the window lattice, leaving only Xie Ciyan standing in the cool breeze, covered with heat.But he didn’t feel cold at all, he only felt a hot fire running up and down in his lower abdomen.He had no choice but to chuckle unconsciously on his face. He straightened up and responded softly, regardless of whether she was still by the window or not, “Okay.”

It is already the season of flowers blooming in the palace, and the flower room is preparing to leave for this day. All kinds of flowers with auspicious meanings are filled in the palace, and everywhere you go there are flowers.

It was just after the fifth watch, and the night was still a bit cool. The window lattice was opened, and the faint fragrance of flowers blew into the bedroom along with the gentle breeze, filling the room with a sweet feeling.The entire dormitory was already brightly lit, with gorgeous palace lanterns hung up one by one. The palace ladies were busy going in and out of the green space, all with happy faces.

Yan Zhaozhao was surrounded by people sitting in front of the dressing table, wearing a mandarin duck wedding dress carefully embroidered by more than a dozen embroiderers.Mrs. Zheng, who was combing her hair behind her, was the most famous good-luck woman in Chang’an. Her husband and wife grew old in love, and they had many children. It was Xie Ciyan who specially invited her to come over and dress Yan Zhaozhao.”My wife combed my empress’s hair, and from then on she and Your Majesty had unquestionable love for each other until their hair grew old.”

Yan Zhaozhao stared at the bronze mirror.

The bronze mirror is slightly turbid and blurry, but it still does not reduce the brilliance of the figure in the mirror. It is as gorgeous and charming as the albizia flower in full bloom, making people unable to take their eyes away.A pair of twinkling eyes seemed to be filled with sparkling starlight. When the eyebrows were arched, they seemed to light up the darkness of the room. The tear stains at the corners of the eyes also added a trace of seductive charm, which was extremely moving.

All members of Yan Zhaozhao’s family moved outside the city, and she did not call them back even if she got married.When the wedding team arrived outside the palace gate, they took the round fan from Mrs. Zheng’s hand.The golden handle is embroidered with flowers blooming on both sides of the fan, and long golden tassels hang from the handle, which is extremely luxurious.She raised her round fan. When aristocratic brides came out of the palace, they would cover their faces with the round fan. They had to wait until the wedding night, after the guests had dispersed, and then when they faced their husband, they would put down the round fan to reveal their beautiful faces. This is called the “fanning ceremony”.

She originally lived in this palace, and she originally thought that she would be taken to the Yangxin Palace in a sedan chair.But Xie Ciyan was unwilling and insisted on letting the big red sedan go around Chang’an before sending it to the palace.He didn’t want the wedding between the two to be known only to the palace. He wanted all his people to see the queen of the Sheng Kingdom, and he wanted Yan Zhao to be carried into the palace in eight sedans.

Joy sounds all the way and never stops.People along the street heard the sound and gathered around the bustling street, wanting to see how special the woman who was about to become the queen looked. However, only a corner of the red silk blew in the wind, and they saw the embroidered shoes with exquisite embroidery of Dongzhu, but nothing else could be seen.

After walking around in a grand circle, when she entered the palace again, Xie Ciyan was already waiting for her at the palace gate.The man was not wearing a dragon robe, but was wearing a crimson wedding robe with dragon patterns, a gold and jade belt around his waist, and a wild gold crown on his head. After seeing her, his stern and noble face suddenly softened, and his narrow phoenix eyes outlined a lingering smile.

Yan Zhaozhao was distracted for a moment. As an emperor, he should have been waiting in the Zhengde Hall, waiting for her to walk up the steps step by step and walk to his side to perform the canonization ceremony. However, he waited at the palace gate early, how could she not be moved.

Xie Ciyan stepped forward, took the scale beam from one side of the plate, lifted up the red silk of the sedan chair, personally took the woman out of the sedan chair, and then stepped aside.

“Please ask the bride to get out of the sedan chair -” Bi Luo and Xi Po supported her on the left and right, and the remaining maids also gathered around, lifting the bride’s thick skirt to avoid stumbling.

Xie Ciyan never took his eyes away from Yan Zhaozhao for a moment.She was wearing a very beautiful wedding dress and a peony phoenix crown on her head. The gorgeous fan covered the face of her beloved, and only the two hairpins he gave her could be seen in her hair.Her delicate little hands are holding the handle of the fan, and her little finger is slightly raised. She is delicate and cute. You can also see the bright red dye on her nails, which adds a bit of color to the white, making it unforgettable.

Yan Zhaozhao was first escorted to the steps of Zhengde Hall. She quietly raised her eyes and glanced at the slanting hundred steps, and her legs felt weak.The phoenix crown is a bit heavy, and my neck already feels a little sore from the morning. Now that I have to walk up the steps, I can’t help but sigh.The next moment, she was afraid that the courtiers would see her planning, so she quickly gathered her emotions, put on the empress’ etiquette, and walked up the steps.

But before her feet even stepped on it, her body suddenly jumped into the air. Before she could even exclaim, a familiar and warm embrace held her tightly in his arms.Yan Zhaozhao didn’t dare to take off the fan in her hand, and whispered anxiously, “Thank you Ciyan, please put me down quickly!”

Xie Ciyan did not stop, but he held her up the steps step by step and walked towards the Zhengde Hall.”The steps are so long, how can I let you walk up them?”

“But… this is against the rules, they are all… watching!” She didn’t dare to struggle, so she had to let him put her down, and occasionally glanced at the courtiers standing on both sides.

Xie Ciyan glanced at them and saw that all the courtiers had already knelt down the moment he stepped onto the steps, their foreheads touching the ground, and they did not even dare to raise their heads.”Don’t worry, they don’t dare to look.” He leaned down and approached her and said, “If Zhao Zhao is tired now, what will he do at night?”

Although they were already married, she still couldn’t help her cheeks blushing when she heard these words, so she let him hold her and walk up, her heart bubbling with gurgling sounds, obviously she was extremely happy.

The Zhengde Hall is covered with red felt to prevent the bride’s embroidered shoes from stepping on the ground.When Yan Zhaozhao entered, there were only a few officials with third-rank or above official positions in the palace, as well as Xie Ciyan’s close friends, Huo Suanran among them.

The ceremony officer stood on one side, holding a red wedding fan in his hand, singing loudly, asking the newlyweds to bow to each other.

“Worship the heaven and the earth——”

They both turned around at the same time and bowed to the sky and the earth.

“Two bows to the high hall——”

After saying goodbye, Yan’s father, the emperor, his mother and his concubines were already on the crane, and Yan Zhaozhao’s father and mother were thousands of miles away. They bowed down to the empty chairs and bowed in vain.As the emperor, he should not have to have the etiquette and customs of paying homage to Yan Zhaozhao, but he insisted on making homage to Yan Zhaozhao. After doing so, they would be a real husband and wife, not a queen.

“Husband and wife pay homage——”

The two turned to face each other.After this worship, the two officially became husband and wife, and they lived and died in the same quilt from then on.Xie Ciyan thought of the way Yan Zhaozhao said this to him in the past, and smiled with a smile on his thin lips, calling softly, “Zhaozhao.”

Then he saw the woman’s hand holding the fan trembling slightly.

She moved her fan downwards slightly, revealing her plump and smooth forehead, with a beautiful crimson flower patch between her eyebrows, and her willow-leaf eyebrows were slightly curved, filled with a bit of intoxicating confusion.Immediately, those clean and shining eyes were revealed.

Her eyes were as bright as stars, as if she was telling him some sweet words, full of affection.

Yan Zhaozhao is looking at him.

Then he seemed to feel that it was against the rules and hurriedly raised the fan in his hand.

Xie Ciyan’s smile became even wider, and he solemnly bent down with her.

He finally married the sweetheart he had cared about for many, many years.

“The ceremony is completed——”
