At the same time. April 12. It's night. Hai is two moments.

Although it was already late at night, the goose feather snow that was falling endlessly in the sky made the dark night a little brighter for no reason.

Tonight, when there is no wind, the goose-feather snowflakes can fall quietly from the sky, so that the beauty of the goose-feather snow is not disturbed, and the surrounding air is a little less cold.

On the border of Yan Kingdom, an official road in the mountains at the junction with the Red Ice Kingdom. Inn.

There are post houses on the official roads of each country between the nine countries, which are specially used for officials who come and go to deliver official documents to rest and change horses.

And this year, after the marriage of Princess Haoyue, the tenth princess of Yan Kingdom, and Prince Xu, the crown prince of Chibing Kingdom, was finalized, all the post houses on the official road from Yan Kingdom to Chibing Country were first touched by the Imperial Forest Military sent by Emperor Yan Tian himself.

Before Princess Haoyue's car passed by, all the post houses on this official road had to be temporarily closed, and no accommodation could be provided with any officials during the period, so it was necessary to ensure that when Princess Haoyue's car arrived at the inn, Princess Haoyue could have a quiet place to rest and not be disturbed by outsiders.

And after Princess Haoyue's car left, the post house where Princess Haoyue stayed before could resume normal operation.

Although this order made all the post houses on the official road from Yan Kingdom to Chibing Country complain, but after all, this was the emperor's order, and they ate all the imperial grain, so even if because of this order, the people in these post houses could not make extra money, they did not dare to disobey the yang and yin, and could only honestly wait for Princess Haoyue's car to come.

And in front of the gate of the post house facing the official road and backing the vast mountain, there is now a car of Princess Haoyue parked - the big red golden silk nanmu phoenix drawn by sixteen horses.

Because the sixteen horses had already untied the reins and led them to the stables of the post house to graze, yes, and now there is only one body left in this big red golden silk Nanmi phoenix chariot standing in front of the gate of this post house.

Because of the heavy snowfall, there is only one body left. But there is still a simple grass hut on top of it to shelter from the falling goose feather snow. It's just that I don't know how long this goose feather snow has been falling, and a thick layer of snow has accumulated on the roof of the grass shed. It is extremely doubtful that such a simple grass hut can be sustained!

The backyard of the post house.

This post house is built in the mountains, because of the local materials, although only two in and two out of the building, in the area is larger than many four in and four out of the post house. From the front yard of the post house to the back yard of the post house, it takes a lot of tea!

At this moment, it is already the second moment. It was snowing heavily, but the empty backyard of this post house was still brightly lit. The white gauze lanterns hanging from the eaves of the courtyard are all brightly lit, and the word "post house" is written on the white yarn of each lantern.

On the open field in the courtyard, there are hundreds of dowries painted with gold lacquer on the surface, and each dowry is wrapped with bright red silk flowers, and the lacquered gold box is matched with red silk flowers, which looks noble and festive.

On top of the dowry, there is also a grass shed used to shelter the goose feathers and heavy snow that falls, but this grass shed is extremely strong just by looking at it. It's not comparable to the grass shed on the top of the big red phoenix chariot in front of the post house. After all, these dowries are priceless things, and this protection measure should be excellent.

Under the corners of the eaves in the backyard stood soldiers in armor with spears in their hands, swords at their waists, and a rough count, there were as many as sixty or seventy people! These soldiers all straightened their backs, their faces were expressionless, and they did not flinch or fear even in the bad weather with goose feathers and heavy snow floating in the air.

These soldiers were all selected by Weiyuan General Ouyang Ye to escort Princess Haoyue this time, and they were on duty at the moment. While protecting the safety of Princess Haoyue and Yurong and Yuling, the two first-class ladies of the First Order, they must also protect the dowry that is piled up in the courtyard.

At this moment, a man wearing a silver helmet, a silver armor and red robe, a long sword at his waist, and stepping on the cowhide boots of the Goose Feather Gang with the word "Bao" on his feet. A handsome young man strode into the gate of the backyard of the inn.

"General!" Seeing the visitor, all the soldiers on duty at night saluted the visitor in a neat manner, and the voice was not loud, but it was enough for the visitor to hear clearly......

The person who came was none other than Weiyuan General Ouyang Ye.

Xu is Ouyang Ye came all the way with snowflakes, the silver helmet on his head and the red robe on his shoulders were more or less stained with snowflakes.

Listening to the respectful calls of the soldiers on duty at night, Ouyang Ye nodded to the soldiers. Without stopping at all, Ouyang Ye kept walking towards the place where the dowry was stacked in the courtyard.

Ouyang Ye walked all the way to the grass shed in the courtyard, stood next to the golden dowry, and after roughly counting and checking whether there were any problems with the hundreds of dowries of Haoyue Princess Yan Qingqiu, Ouyang Ye walked to the edge of the grass shed and stared at the two-story pure wooden building on the left side of the courtyard.

Because of the large number of people who gave off the marriage this time, this post house with two entrances and two exits, the people staying in the front yard were all in the post house, as well as the soldiers and eunuchs who gave off the marriage, including the leader of the escort team - Ouyang Ye, the general of Weiyuan himself, could only stay in the front yard.

Except for Ouyang Ye's arrangement, the soldiers who are in charge of guarding every day can be on duty within the specified duty hours, and the eunuchs who are responsible for delivering meals can enter and exit the backyard of this post house at the meal, and any other male is not allowed to step into the backyard of this post house for half a step at any time, even if it is a eunuch!

This order is not only aimed at the people in the post house, as well as the soldiers and eunuchs who gave the marriage this time, but also at Ouyang Ye himself, who made this order.

Ouyang Ye is an out-and-out soldier, and the duty of a soldier is to obey military orders, especially the military orders set by Ouyang Ye himself, Ouyang Ye must abide by them even more. Therefore, Ouyang Ye would only enter this backyard for a short stay when he routinely counted and inspected the hundreds of dowries of Princess Yan Qingqiu of Haoyue every day.

In this backyard, except for the three rooms with the best furnishings in the interior for Princess Haoyue, Mrs. Yurong and Mrs. Yuling, the other rooms are occupied by the palace maids who gave the marriage this time. And for these palace maids, Ouyang Ye also has a rule: no major matter is allowed to take the initiative to go to the front yard of the post house, and ordinary small things can only be told to the soldiers who are responsible for guarding in the backyard, and let the soldiers go to the front yard to report to Ouyang Ye.

Such a rigorous arrangement is not only because of the difference between men and women, but also because this arrangement can make these palace maids break off their delusions and take care of Princess Haoyue, Mrs. Yurong and Mrs. Yuling more attentively.

At this moment, the rooms on the first floor of the building that Ouyang Ye was looking at were all pitch black, and the people living in it were all the palace maids who had been married this time. Strictly abiding by the normal work and rest is the first thing that the ladies of the Yanguo Palace learn to do, and after the first moment, whether they can sleep or not, they must turn off the lights. It's no wonder that these palace maids were selected into the wedding team this time, and it seems that these palace maids have learned this well.

Ouyang Ye continued to look up at the second floor......

The other rooms on the second floor were fine, just like the first floor, it was pitch black, except for the one in the middle, which was covered with thick white veil and the hollow carved window still showed bright candlelight, which made it difficult to ignore.

Seeing this, Ouyang Ye subconsciously frowned, and casually summoned a soldier closest to him, Ouyang Ye frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Hasn't the princess rested yet?" ”

When the soldier heard this, he immediately lowered his head habitually, clenched his hands holding spears into fists in front of his head, and replied to Ouyang Ye in a respectful tone: "Back to General, the candle flame in Her Royal Highness Princess's room has not been extinguished since nightfall, and just before the general came, Her Royal Highness Princess just closed the window. ”

The accommodation in this backyard is all the palace maids who gave off this time, and the palace maids are careful to follow the work and rest time, at this point, more than ninety percent of the palace maids have already fallen asleep, although the soldier is replying to Ouyang Ye's question in great detail, but he tries to control his voice as much as possible, and try not to disturb those palace maids who are already asleep. After all, only those palace maids can rest at night and serve Her Royal Highness the princess and Mrs. Yurong and Mrs. Yuling well during the day.

When Ouyang Ye heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper, and his tone was a little bad: "Are princesses like this these days?" ”

When they left Yan Kingdom, it was always a cloudless and sunny day, until they came here, and when they came to the post house next to the official road in the mountains on the border of Yan Kingdom, they happened to encounter snow.

Because the mountain road is not easy to walk, and it is snowing, the mountain road is slippery, even if the snow is not big, Ouyang Ye does not dare to rashly order to continue to move forward, after all, he is shouldering the safety of Princess Haoyue!

There was no hesitation at all, even if Ouyang Ye ordered everyone to stop temporarily and take a break in this post house, no one would have thought that this stop, more than 500 of them stayed in this post house for six days!

What they didn't expect was that after they stayed in this post house for six days, the snow outside would drift for six days!

The snow was not particularly heavy in the first two days, but the more it went to the back, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, until today, it has been snowing all day long, but I didn't expect it to be even this night, and it has not stopped!

In the past six days, every day Ouyang Ye would come to the backyard of the post house at this hour to finally count and check whether there was any problem with the hundreds of dowries of Princess Haoyue Yan Qingqiu, but in the first five days, Ouyang Ye had never paid attention to the situation of Princess Haoyue Yan Qingqiu. Today, he just paid attention to it on a whim, but it turned out that he got such an answer that made him unhappy. (To be continued.) )
