Chapter 10 - Empress Hien Lixue

I woke up, looking right and left, as it there was someone watching me. I put my hand in my hanfu and took out the piece of paper my mother gave me. I opened it and read the instructions she gave me.

In the forest at home, there is a small tree in the middle, there will be a small box's with everything you need as evidence. Make sure no one sees you have that books until evidence is needed. There you will find letter. The letters are from the person Fa Ting gets her poison from. Make sure theseare the right ones.'

I closed the later and slipped it inside my bottom draw and looked outside my window. It was late and I was still a bit tired. I decided to sleep, since I know Weishang will not be coming, like most days. I got into the sheets and let the night take me away.

A week passed since I had seen Weishang and the day had come. Bai and Ai woke me up extra early just to wash me with scented oils and make up.

They brought the dress the tailor made and legs say I was impressed. It was white with a dress with a red flower pattern and a golden Dragon engraved in the back.

They put ornaments in my hair, which were quite heavy. They covered my face with a white veil, which symbolizes purity.

When I was done, I put on white boots. I couldn't see myself clearly, but from the reaction of Bai and Ai, I was beautiful.

They were both dressed in white dresses, with veils covering their noses and mouths. The dress was long at the back, but thanks to Bai and Ai, they carried it with no effort needed.

When the door opened, my father stood across my door. I couldn't see him properly, but he seemed surprised. "You... look wonderful" he said walking towards me. He took my hand and led me to the grand hall.

He let go of my hand when we were In front of the door. "Are you ready?" He asked. "....yes" I replied and held his hand tightly before letting it go.

The guards opened the doors and escorted inside. I heard the sound of dozens of pipas playing at the same time. The smell of lotuses infused came to my nose. I got to the sites and climbed them until I got to Weishang.

I couldn't see him but I felt his hand take my hand. He pulled my ear towards his face and whispered "I missed you" and we proceeded with the rituals.

When the process ended, he removes the veil from my face. I looked up and meet his dark eyes.

"Hi" I whispered. "Hi" he replied. We turned to the crowd and the priest announced "I now present to you all, Emperor and Empress Zhou, rulers of the Zhou dynasty" he said. Cheering was heard, as people clapped.

We sat on the grand throne and the celebrations began. The maids put a table in front of the throne with food and other stuff. Food was served to the guests and all the people of the kingdom.

"Finally, you are mine" Weishang whispered into my ears. I blushed looking down as a maid offered me a sweet item. I took it, and popped it into my mouth.

"You like sweet stuff. I'll give you something worth the sweetness" he said. I somehow coughed and he smirked, telling the maids to give me some tea so that my throat would be wet.

The celebrations continued and it was getting a bit late. "Come" he said, taking my hand. I stood up and took his hand into mine.

Everyone settled down and looked towards us. "My Wang Fei and I will be taking our leave. Please enjoy" he said.

We walked with guards escorting us. Bai and Ai were also escorting us, hold in my long trail. We got to my door and stopped there.

Weishang walked to my ear and whispered "get changed. There is something waiting for you the other side of your door. Get washed and relax" he whispered.

I nodded and walked into my room. "Well, looks like the emperor has a whole night planned for you" Bai teased as she helped me take of the dress. They also removed the ornaments from my hair and put it in a high bun.

They washed me and dried me. I felt so tired and drained from carrying those ornaments on my head. I put on the dress, which was a silk light dress. It was little bit see through, but not too much.

When I finished, Bai and Ai escorted me to the emperor's room. I walked behind them, looking down at my feet. I was a nerve wreck and I couldn't contain myself. "We are here" Ai said silently, as she directed me to the door.

I opened the door and saw him. His was undressed from the waist up. His body looked heavenly, which I could not take my eyes off. The bed had flower pedals on it and the room was full of a Jasmine scent.

"Hello my dear" he said seductively. He pulled me into the room and ordered the guards to stand guard. Bai and Ai already left, mean in I was alone with my husband. He pulled me in and closed the door behind me.
