Chapter 72: Observance

In October, there were crowds of people outside the south gate of Xianyang City. Princess Mi Qian of Jing married the king as her queen, so the king went out of the city to welcome her. In order to save horses, the marries of married daughters were mostly four-wheeled carriages, totaling more than 500. Adhering to the usual magnificence of the Chu people, even the carriages of the servants were extremely gorgeous, far better than the simple Qin carriages.

The Qin Road is not as wide and flat as the Chu Road. It is not a problem to travel a hundred miles a day. Qu Sui, who is a dowry minister, did not let the convoy go quickly. Along the way, he was waiting for the news of the Qin army withdrawing. Unfortunately, the convoy arrived in Xianyang until October, and he never heard of the Qin army withdrawing. Instead, he heard that the Qin and Wei army cut off the Chen Ying waterway and surrounded the king in the city.

The mother country was getting farther and Xianyang was getting closer and closer. The worried arrogance made the corners of his mouth bubbled and his expression was haggard. However, today when the King of Qin was in Xianyang, he had to wash up, put on court clothes, and go to the King of Qin with Mi Qian.

Like later generations, the man wanted to marry a woman's house, but the two countries fought, and the Qin king had to do whatever Qin envoys were. After entering the Qin territory, groups of kings and envoys, the officials of the county and county along the way kept saying to the King of Qin to be the dowry minister Qu Sui, and the king did not have to greet him in his kinship. These are all etiquette. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the king did not have to go to other countries to welcome him, but to welcome him outside the capital.

The Qin King Zhao Zheng, who was dressed in a mysterious clothes and dressed in a robe, stood in the suburbs, with a bright and charming smile on his lips. The people who accompanied him to welcome Mi Qian were not only the Queen Mother of Huayang, the Queen Mother of Zhao Ji, the Qin State office and the Qin court officials. Behind these people were countless temple men and palace maids, and behind the men of the temple men and the men of the Jias, the people of Xianyang who were bride-welcoming, and the crowded crowds of people.

Before Mi Qian got out of the carriage, the carriage slowly walked to Zhao Zheng and stopped. After Qu Sui greeted Zhao Zheng and others, the convoy followed the carriage that Zhao Zheng was riding to the south gate of Xianyang. When she came in, the south gate of Xianyang was at the outer screen of the palace, she got off the carriage with the help of her maid.

The red veil of later brides originated from the Eastern Han Dynasty, not the ancient customs of the Qin Dynasty, but the shameful fan started from the Southern Dynasty. Mi Qian had a faint Yanfei on her face, but her face was not covered at all. Her beauty was like jade, and her body was covered with black clothes, making her skin look whiter and softer. As soon as she got off the carriage, King Zhao Zheng of Qin stared at her tightly, and her eyes could no longer be moved. The Queen Mother Mi Ji looked at Mi Qian with a smile even more. Only the Queen Mother Zhao Ji was stunned at first, surprised Mi Qian's beauty. Seeing that her son could no longer move her eyes, she couldn't help frowning.

"Celebrity!" The guru was stunned for a moment, but fortunately he knew his duty well and moved his eyes away early.

The palace is the man's home. With courtesy, Zhao Zheng should bow to Mi Qian and then invite her to enter the palace together. After the gurus shouted a greeting, Zhao Zheng did not respond. He still stared at Mi Qian and looked closely, which made Mi Qian lower her head in shame.

"Celebrity!" The guru shouted again. This time, Zhao Zhengcai bowed to Mi Qian in a daze and invited her to the palace. The five gates of Qin Palace were extremely majestic. When they entered the gumen, the nine tripods of Zhoushi retrieved from Luoyang were displayed in front of everyone. The palaces all had the main road, and the main road was full of temple men and palace maids. The nine tripods were not blocked but were deliberately empty. Qu Sui and others were shocked by the nine tripods, but they did not look sideways, and they all looked at Mi Qian walking in front.

When he arrived at the gate outside the back bedroom, Zhao Zheng bowed to Mi Qian again and invited her to bed.

The wedding was at dusk, and it was at dusk. The palace was sleeping in Qutai Palace and the Liuying Palace. The entire palace suddenly became brightly lit. The court officials have always been promoted from the south steps to Mingtang. Different weddings were different. Mi Qian was promoted from the west steps to Zongzhang (the four palace halls are called Mingtang, the south is called Qingyang, the west is called Zongzhang, and the north is called Xuantang). The concubines and palace maids who married her into the Qin Palace quickly arranged a banquet in the room between Zongzhang and the court. A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Zheng and Mi Qian came into the table calmly and sat opposite each other.

Eat with the same prison and drink with the same jin. The prison is fatty meat, and the pork is bitter gourd. The marriage means that the couple will share the joys and sorrows from now on, and never leave them. After the banquet, they will sleep peacefully. Mi Qian entered the room and Zhao Zheng also entered the room. According to the ceremony, they helped her remove the tassels under her jaw. As soon as the black hat was removed, Mi Qian's black hair fell down casually, covering her white jade-like forehead.

When the Ying was shed, the two had already had a blind date. Mi Qian felt that Zhao Zheng's hand was cold. This was etiquette, and she did not refuse. However, Zhao Zheng's hand did not stop, but instead hugged her in his arms, kissed her lips on his hair, and kissed her forehead. Mi Qian was so scared that her body was stiff. The maid behind her was anxious and shouted: "Please respect yourself! Please respect yourself..."

"Get out!" From the first sight of Mi Qian, Zhao Zheng wanted to get her immediately. Taking advantage of Jie Ying's opportunity, he hugged Mi Qian tightly in his arms and kissed her cheeks and jade neck regardless of her resistance.

"Please respect yourself!" It was already dark, and after the banquet, the rest of the people had already left, and only the dowry concubines and maids were left. Seeing that the King of Qin was so rude, not only the maids, but also the dowry concubines also came up, trying to pull Mi Qian away from Zhao Zheng's arms.

"Get out!" Zhao Zheng was furious and kicked down a few people to see that they were coming up. He immediately let go of Mi Qian, turned around and called the temple man to drive all these Chu women out. Suddenly, there was a choking sound behind him, and a light reflected on the temple man's extremely frightened face.

"Why is this?" Zhao Zheng turned around and saw the dagger in Mi Qian's hand. This was a giant blade, not a bronze soldier. Under the candlelight, the sharp blade reflected a dazzling light, but the sharp blade was aimed at Mi Qian himself. He smiled and said, "You want to assassinate me?"

"I just want to ask the king to keep the courtesy. Don't insult me." After joining the prison, the two were husband and wife, so Mi Qian claimed to be her concubine. The dagger in her hand was very close to her chest, and her hands were trembling. This was given to her by Mi Qi.

"Keep the courtesy?" Zhao Zheng understood what Mi Qian meant, but Mi Qian was so beautiful that he couldn't control the heat inside his body, so he wanted to strip Mi Qian naked now and then press down on Yunyu under him. Seeing this, he browned and said, "If you want me to withdraw..."

"Since I am the wife of the king, I am no longer the princess of Chu, but the queen of Qin. Whether to withdraw the army or not is based on the king's wishes, I will not say a word." Mi Qian felt relieved when she saw that Zhao Zheng did not rush over again. She cried a lot and thought a lot. At this time, she only insisted on etiquette, to guard her dignity, and no longer wanted to ask the King of Qin to withdraw his army.

"Qin Queen?" Zhao Zheng let out several breaths, as if he wanted to exhale all the heat in his body.

"That's right." Mi Qian nodded and said again: "Please respect yourself and don't insult me, otherwise I will have to die."

Seeing the persistence in Mi Qian's eyes, Zhao Zheng was a little disappointed. He still bowed to Mi Qian and said, "I am rude, please do not blame the queen." After this bowing, he brushed his sleeves and hurried away. Several temple people blocking the way could not avoid it and were kicked away by him. When Mi Qian disappeared, she collapsed to the ground and cried whimpered. As soon as she cried, the maid who was dowry cried completely. Several concubines even cried, "The King, the Queen". The girls couldn't sleep all night.

"King, today's breakfast..." The next morning, when Mi Qian went to pay homage to the Queen Mother, Zhao Zheng was using breakfast. Zhao Gao had known about what happened last night, and was afraid that Zhao Zheng would be angry, so breakfast was all his favorite food.

"Good." If you don't get married without a crown, Zhao Zheng had his own concubine very early. After leaving the Western Room last night, he did not return to his room, but went out to sleep in Liuying Palace for a night. He also did not sleep all night, his face turned pale, but fortunately his expression was bright and as usual.

"Summon Huan Qi, I have something to ask him." Although my body was no longer hot, Zhao Zheng hated the Chu people the more he thought about it. He wanted to know when Xin Wu could kill King Jing.

"Summon Huan Qiong to see you." The envoy left in a hurry. Before Huan Qiong arrived, Qu Sui asked for a visit outside the bed.

"What's the matter with Qu Qing?" Zhao Zhengming asked knowingly that Qu Sui was a dowry minister, so he came naturally to withdraw his troops.

"I ask the king to withdraw his troops, and the two countries will choose a day to join forces to continue their troops, and no longer attack." Qu Sui bowed to the local area.

"When will I withdraw my troops, I will be responsible for it." Zhao Zheng's eyes flashed and he remembered something. "However, the Qin and Chu alliance need to marry each other. It is said that King Jing will marry the princess of Qi as the queen. Where will I place my Qin princess?"

"This is a temporary plan." Since Mi Qian has been married, it is impossible to abolish the Chu Qi marriage. Qu Sui did not hesitate at all and said: "If the Qin army retreats, the widow will abolish the Chu Qi marriage and marry the Qin princess in the future."

"No!" Zhao Zheng shouted slightly, "If you want me to withdraw your troops, your country should first abolish the marriage with Qi, and then send the princess of Qi back to Qi."

"Alas! I know." Qu Sui looked up at the sky, and stopped talking.

"Do you know what?" Zhao Zheng glared at him. Although he understood what he was going to say, he still couldn't help asking.

"I know the king has no faith." Qu Sui shook his head, "I still know the king has no rudeness." Qu Sui shook his head again. "I asked for his retreat."

"You!" When Zhao Zheng was angry, Qu Sui had already retreated to the hall, bowed to him from afar, and finally got off the stairs.

"How about King Jing? What about Chen Cheng? Xin Wu swears that Yu I can surround Chen Cheng and kill King Jing. But why are he always knocked out by Jingren Zhoushi..." It was unhappy that he failed last night. In the morning, he was criticized by the ministers of Chu State for being ruthless. Zhao Zheng is now a little furious. When he saw Huan Qi, he blamed him.

Huan Qi did not say anything, and after he finished speaking, he bowed and said, "Tell the king that Chen Cheng has been surrounded by the army, and killing King Jing should be sure to win."

Huan Shi's words surprised Zhao Zheng. He had received three reports of being hit by Jing Guozhou Army. He did not expect to be surrounded. "Be serious?"

"Report to the king, General Xin Wu personally reported it." Huan Qi took out a silk book and handed it to Zhao Zheng.
