In the eighteenth year of Shunchang, the traitor Zhao Teng kidnapped the emperor and the queen mother, and King Xiao Nanchen led troops to rescue them. Zhao Teng poisoned the emperor and the queen mother, and then committed suicide.

In the same year, the King of Taiyuan plotted to kill the King of Guangling and launched an army to rebel. King Xiao Nanchen ordered Xizhou generals Xiao Yan and Hong Xiaoyu to resist and defeated the Taiyuan army. The King of Taiyuan was captured and escorted back to Zhongzhou. He was asked to kill his daughter Queen Jin Zhen'er at the Meridian Gate. Being implicated by him, he was imprisoned in Baima Temple. From then on, the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng disappeared from the world.

Emperor Jingwen Liu Hui had no heirs. However, the country could not be without a king for a while, so hundreds of officials in Zhongzhou and the Liu family sent an edict to invite King Xiao Nanchen to ascend the throne.

King Xiao Nanchen refused, invited again, and refused again. Jian Guang led hundreds of officials to kneel in front of Shiqian Hall and threatened to die. King Xiao Nanchen had no choice but to ascend the throne.

He was named Emperor Zhongwu and his reign name was changed to Zhenguan.

The later emperor invited various aristocratic families from the north and Chen to come to the capital, and the visitors gathered in large numbers.

When Southern Xiao heard about the rebellion in Northern Chen, he sent general Xiao Hong to invade with 200,000 elite troops. The governor of Southern Jingzhou rebelled and surrendered to Nan Xiao. Shouyang guard Nao Feng led troops to meet the enemy. At that time, Nan Xiao's camp was often hit by thunder, and the morale of the army was in chaos. , Jianfeng personally led 30,000 cavalry to defeat the enemy.

The emperor also sent Hong Xiaoyu to lead 50,000 elite troops for reinforcements. The two sides attacked and defeated Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong was defeated and captured. 60,000 of the 200,000 elite troops died in the battle. 50,000 surrendered. Countless people fled in all directions. In the end, only 30,000 troops remained. Withdraw to Nanxiao.

From then on, the power of the Nanxiao royal family was greatly reduced, and some vassal kings in the territory took the opportunity to raise troops and cause chaos.

In the first year of Zhenguan, when the emperor appointed Cui's daughter Yang as his queen, many ministers issued an edict to ask the emperor to change the order. They said that Yang's daughter and the emperor had a master-disciple relationship, which was against ethics. The emperor did not allow it. Grand Tutor Xie Chong made a petition to the court. He accused many ministers that they had been members of Zhao Teng and Liu Yuan and harmed the people. The evidence was conclusive. The emperor was angry and issued an edict to kill the culprits. The others were exiled thousands of miles away and were not allowed to be employed within three generations of the same clan.

In the sixth month of the first year of Zhenguan, it was appropriate for the Emperor to enter the palace at the time of Emperor Yang. After the emperor paid homage to his ancestors, he married the daughter of Emperor Yang.

...

On the wedding day, call the house.

Shi Yi was dressed in red and sat nervously in front of the mirror, while the female officials around him methodically put on makeup, tied up his hair, and put on accessories.

Shi Yi looked at himself in the mirror. He was less elegant and more graceful than before.

Would the master like it if he saw himself like this?

Feng Qiao and Hong Xiaoyu walked in together.

When Shi Yi saw the two people coming in, she felt relieved. She was so nervous that she felt like she could hardly breathe.

"Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Sister, why are you here?"

Hong Xiaoyu spoke first: "Master said that your mother-in-law and brothers will be busy outside receiving guests at this time. We are afraid that you will feel bored here alone, so let us come over to accompany you."

Hong Xiaoyu looked at Shi Yi as he spoke and sighed: "Little junior sister, you are so beautiful today."

Feng Qiao walked around Shi Yi and said with envy: "Little junior sister, how can you be so good-looking? Senior sister, I almost feel excited when I see you."

Shi Yi felt that her face was a little hot, but because she was wearing blush, outsiders couldn't tell.

Hong Xiaoyu continued to joke: "Little Junior Sister, after today, when we see you in the future, we will have to call you the Queen. Even if we meet in private, we will have to call you Senior Wife."

Feng Qiao was amused when she heard this, and shouted twice from the side: "Master Shi Yi? Master?"

Shi Yi blushed even more when he heard this, and said coquettishly: "Senior sister, don't laugh at me anymore."

Rolling his eyes, Shi Yi said to Hong Xiaoyu: "Senior sister, isn't your and my brother's wedding also this year? I will have to call you sister-in-law when we meet."

Hong Xiaoyu didn't expect that the melon would happen to him, and his face turned red all of a sudden. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.

Feng Qiao on the side smiled so much that her mouth almost reached the sky.

Shi Yi said again: "Senior Sister Feng, please take it easy. You are more than two months pregnant now. Daxi is not very good for your health. If anything happens, Senior Brother Xie is afraid that he will have to fight with us."

Fight hard."

Feng Qiao hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands. After a while, she relaxed and asked in confusion: "How come you all know this? I only knew it not long ago."

Hong Xiaoyu smiled and explained: "That boy Xie Yun had a drink with Tian Xing and the others a few days ago. When he was drunk, he started talking to everyone. Now I'm afraid the entire imperial city knows everything that should be known."

Feng Qiao snorted and stopped talking. Who else could she blame for her husband's loud mouth?

The female officer was putting powder on Shi Yi's face, so Shi Yi didn't dare to smile and kept a straight face.

Hong Xiaoyu and Feng Qiao next to them also wisely stopped teasing her and picked out some interesting things that happened outside the palace recently for her to pass the time.

........

In this era, when an emperor married a queen, he had to follow the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty, including the "six rites of acceptance, asking for her name, accepting the acknowledgment, accepting the levy, announcing the date, and personally welcoming the queen."

Today is the wedding day. The previous acceptance, asking for names, acceptance, acceptance, and announcements have all been completed. All you need to do is welcome them in person.

However, He Tian did not have the opportunity to go to the house to pick up the bride wearing a big red flower like the folk do, so he could only wait obediently in the palace and let Shi Yi's family take her into the palace.

The wedding night was also very troublesome. According to etiquette, Shi Yi and He Tian first worshiped the heaven, earth, and ancestors together, and then ate something on the dining table where beans, bamboo slips, gui, baskets, and zu were placed, and then they

It’s time to drink a glass of wine, which He Tian is more familiar with.

Drinking a cup of wine was called Hexinli at this time, but unlike modern times, He Tian and Shi Yi each took half a gourd, mixed the wine inside, and then drank together.

Then, under the guidance of Shang Yi, the two of them took off their crown clothes and put on their regular clothes.

At this time, He Tian and Shi Yi had some space to be alone.

He Tian, ​​who was already very tired after going through such a process, suddenly felt no longer tired when he saw that it was time to change back to regular clothes.

He Tian has never been married, either in this world or in the last dungeon, so when he was alone at the moment, he actually felt a little nervous.

Shi Yi was also a little nervous. Thinking of the content in the album that Auntie gave him before, he felt a little soft all over.

He Tian took two deep breaths, sat on the bed, and gently held Shi Yi into his arms.

He Tian gently called in Shi Yi's ear: "Madam."

Shi Yi's ears turned red visibly.

Shi Yi raised his head and looked at He Tian, ​​and said shyly: "Mr.

He Tian looked at Shi Yi's face and felt that he was a little drunk. He coughed lightly and said, "Madam, it's late at night, let's rest."

Shi Yi blushed and nodded.

The two put down the curtain embroidered with a hundred children with different expressions and lay on the bed together.

He Tian turned sideways and held Shi Yi's hand, looking at her, and Shi Yi turned sideways and looked at her, both of their eyes shining brightly.

He Tian slowly came closer and kissed Shi Yi gently on the lips.
