Chapter 9: The Steps to Heaven

2. When the concubine enters the palace, the imperial power is stronger than the appearance, and the imperial power is weaker than the family background, to put it bluntly, whose mother's family is stronger, who will have the upper hand!

The Fu family has five sons and one daughter, and the eldest son Fu De, who carries the newcomer into the palace, is twenty-five or sixteen years old, tall, burly and powerful, relying on the recommendation of the family, the official worships the 'Tiger Ben Zhonglang General', responsible for the garrison of the palace, and is relatively outstanding among the sons and daughters of the nobles!

The Dong family was personally carried into the palace by Dong Cheng, who was born as a military general, skilled in bows and horses, quite powerful, and in the prime of life, climbing hundreds of steps, there is no problem at all!

The Cao family is a little troublesome here, the eldest son Cao Ang died on the battlefield, Cao Xian has no other brothers, so he has to be carried into the palace by his younger brother Cao Pi, but the difference in height and size between the two is a bit big!

Cao Pi is only fourteen years old, usually practicing literature and martial arts, and his body is not bad, but boys generally raise children late, and he inherited his father's short body type, he belongs to a short and capable teenager, his appearance is good, but his strength is not great!

In comparison, Cao Xian is seventeen years old, with a long figure, slim and elegant, a standard long-legged little beauty, half a head taller than Cao Pi, the sisters and brothers stand together, like peony flowers and cactus, high and low!

"Sister come up, I'll carry you into the palace!" Cao Pi is short in stature, but his heart is not timid, especially after being tempered in the army, he definitely has a strong heart of bravery, under the watchful eye of all people, he must fight for the Cao family!

"It's such a hard little brother!" Cao Xian curled up and gently climbed on Cao Pi's back, and the two sisters and brothers began to climb the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, followed by eight other maids, holding a hundred quilts, mandarin duck pillows, and pearl shirts...... Dowry items!

At the same time, the other two families also began to climb, mustering up their strength and moving forward bravely, both wanting to take the lead and hand over the bride to the little emperor, Xiao Yi, as the send-off, had already completed the task at this time, but looking at the Cao family sisters and brothers who were struggling to climb, they couldn't rest assured, and they also followed behind, just in case!

"Rather go into the water, don't go up the mountain, go thousands of miles along the water, it is difficult to climb the mountain, raise your legs high, fall lightly, your knees are sore and soft, sweat is like rain, wet clothes and shirts, in order to fight for the first, you have to grit your teeth and persevere, and move forward bravely!"

For the honor of the family, and for the happiness of their sisters, the three bearers all used all their strength to climb hard, a hundred levels of ......, everyone went hand in hand, two hundred levels of ......, all of them worked hard to persevere, three hundred levels, the gap slowly appeared~~

Among the three bearers, the degree of Fude is the fastest, this old man bows his head, bows down, and runs all the way with his sister on his back, their mother is the daughter of Emperor Huan of Han, and the brothers and sisters have been in and out of the palace since childhood, often playing on the high royal steps, which can be described as familiar with the road, and the degree is naturally faster!

Dong Cheng is not the fastest one, but it is the most relaxed one, the general's physical fitness is already strong, his luck is good, his sister is young, and she is a small and delicate woman, and she weighs only sixty or seventy pounds, and it is not difficult to carry it, and he doesn't even sweat much, but he deliberately presses the pace, and doesn't want to override the Fu family, after all, she is the real queen!

Cao Pi is very unlucky, he is the hardest working one, but also the most backward one, even the strength to eat milk has been used, still climbing very slowly, halfway to adjust the posture, to prevent the sister on the back from slipping down, the little face is red, panting like a cow, the heart is about to jump out, that's it, he still gritted his teeth and persisted!

Cao Pi was uncomfortable, and Cao Xian on her back was also uncomfortable, in order not to fall to the ground, she had to curl up as much as she could, and she had to take out a hand to wipe the sweat for her younger brother, the taste was really miserable!

Three hundred level ......, four hundred level ......, five hundred level ......, the long road is slow, where is the end?

No matter how strong the will of the person is, the body also has a limit, when the climb is halfway, Cao Pi is finally exhausted, being far behind, looking at the other two high up, anxious he clenched his teeth, trying to try his last bit of strength to catch up, but unfortunately, the sky does not follow people's wishes, the more impatient, the more rootless the feet, the white marble steps are smooth, one foot in the air, the sister and brother fell down suddenly!

"Oh no, the second son of the Cao family has fallen!"

"Hurry up and help, the newcomer's feet must not fall to the ground~"

"It doesn't matter if your feet hit the ground, hurry up and save people!"

……………………………………

There were hundreds of civil and military officials standing on the imperial steps, and when they saw Cao Pi's body leaning down, they immediately exclaimed, first, they were afraid that the newlyweds would fall to the ground with their feet and break the rules of the Han family's wedding......

"Brush! ~~Brush! ”

Qianjunyi, two big hands stretched out, one grabbed Cao Pi's belt to prevent him from slipping, and the other hooked Cao Xian's small waist, holding her firmly in the air, and her feet never landed!

Needless to say, at the critical moment, Xiao Yi made a move, and when he saw Cao Pi's physical strength, he was more careful, and when he saw that the sister and brother were about to fall to the ground, he immediately came to the aid and resolved the crisis!

"Thank you Metropolitan Governor for your help, you can finish the journey for me!" Cao Pi wiped his sweat, lying on the imperial steps and gasping desperately, with Xiao Yi making a move, he was very relieved!

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the rest of the matter!" Xiao Yi was not polite, hugged Cao Xian's back with one hand, supported the crook of his legs with the other, held her firmly in his arms, and continued to climb up with both feet!

Xiao Yi is eight feet tall, superb in martial arts, and his strength is even more amazing, he can lift a thousand catties of giant tripods, holding a little woman effortlessly, living in Crouching Tiger Mountain for several years, mountaineering and cross-country is his strength, two long legs step away, the wind under his feet, is no longer climbing, but jumping, each step can step through four or five steps, extremely fast, soon past the other two, towards the palace gate rushed!

"Damn, they actually changed people halfway, this is stealing the day!" Seeing Xiao Yi's figure leaping up, the other two scolded, of course, they scolded in their hearts, 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' is powerful, they still know it, and they don't dare to offend easily, besides, the son-in-law is also half a son, and Xiao Yi carries the newcomer into the palace, and he barely says it in terms of etiquette!

"No, let's chase ...... bit by piece, chase desperately, and use our strength to chase ......, but we can't catch up!"

lagging behind others, Volt and Dong Cheng were also anxious, climbing hard, trying to take a few more steps up, but unfortunately, the eyes were low and the skills were low, and they had no people's skills at all.

"The sound of the wind, up and down, fluttering, like flying!" It is said that it is more comfortable for women to be held by others, Cao Xian feels that he is about to fly, especially leaning on Xiao Yi's arms, listening to the vigorous and powerful heartbeat, so warm!

"The second sister is so blessed, it's a pity,...... If I had been diligent, proactive, and crying a few more times, maybe I'd ~~"

Cao Xian thought of the 'Hundred Flowers Robe', when the three sisters sewed together, the younger sister Cao Hua escaped to play, and after she was stabbed a few times, she also gave up halfway, only the second sister Cao Jie, with a bloody hand, just completed the production, and in the end, she became a big winner in life, not providence, but people's hearts!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

On the royal steps, Liu Xie was walking back and forth, the anxiety on his little face could not be concealed at all, the emperor is also a human being, and in the face of his own marriage, he is no different from an ordinary hairy young man, excited, nervous, impatient, and a little want to 'shhh'......

"Why haven't they come up yet, are they beautiful...... could it be a persimmon face, and then a little pockmark with a face, is it good-tempered?" Liu Xie was very worried that the dress was twisted into twist, and his neck was stretched out, hoping to see his beauty as soon as possible, but the first thing he saw was ...... Yat Siu!

With a tiger leap, Xiao Yat successfully reached the top, as for the other two, they are still struggling to climb behind, and it will take a while to come up!

"The Metropolitan Governor...... Why did the Qing family come? "Liu Xie was surprised and didn't know what to say, for this world's number one general, he is 'respecting his talents, respecting his heart, and hating not to be used for himself!'

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the wedding joy!" Xiao Yi stepped forward and solemnly sent Cao Xian over, "Remember, the emperor is also a man, even if the world is turned upside down and the world is reversed, you must protect your own woman!" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor has worked hard all the way, I remember it in my heart!" Liu Xie took the bride at a loss, saying that he was so big, it was the first time he hugged a woman, and the feeling of warm jade and warm fragrance was really comfortable!

"Thank you for your help, today's feelings, this palace keeps it in mind!" Under the golden silk red cover, Cao Xian's delicate voice came out, there was gratitude, regret, and inviolable dignity, from now on, she is the concubine of the emperor of the Han Dynasty!

The palace gate is like the sea, isolating family affection, and from then on, Xiao Lang is a passerby!
