Chapter 68
In the evening, the brigade arrived at the post station, and the vanguard of the road exploration had already arrived, and everything had been arranged.
The post man with a large number of post guards, outside the post station to meet the king of Yu's car, this post station often live officials, and never came to the prince, the post Cheng was afraid that he would not be well entertained, very attentive, welcomed the king of Yu into the best yard of this post station, and let people feed the horses well.
King Yu and the little princess lived in the east and west rooms of a courtyard, Gonggong Kang and two maids lived in the east and west wings, Zheng Han, the chief of the guard, lived next to this courtyard with a team of cronies, and the rest of the people lived around this courtyard.
After a day in the carriage, Ye Qian's legs were a little tired, washed and changed clothes, and went around the yard. King Yu also came over and took her hand and walked with her.
"Brother Yan isn't busy?" Ye Qian asked.
"I don't have to do anything, someone else will arrange it." King Yu said with a smile, he went out with so many people, where do you need to personally arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation, Gonggong Kang is in charge of chores, Zheng Han is in charge of guarding, everything is in order, "Qianqian is not tired, why don't you take a day off here tomorrow?" The little girl hasn't been in a carriage for so long, and she can't adapt to it yet.
"No tired, no rest." Ye Qian shook her head, this is only the first day, and there is still a long road ahead. She looked at the courtyard, "It turns out that this is a post station, and the layout of the yard at home is similar." ”
King Yu took her hand and walked slowly, "This is the best courtyard of the post station, in addition, there are guest rooms without a courtyard, just next to each other, and a large shop, which is a big house where many people sleep." ”
"Oh, I see." Ye Qian understood, just like at home, not all the people in the family have separate rooms like Bai Zhen and Lu Fei, and many third-class little maids live together.
When the blood was smooth, the legs were comfortable, and the dinner was delivered, the two entered the house, and the dinner was not made by the post station, but prepared by the royal mansion, which was the same as what Ye Qian usually used.
After dinner, Ye Qian bathed and lay down on the bed. She still felt a little tired, thinking that she would definitely be able to fall asleep soon, Bai Zhen and Lu Fei were the first-class girls beside her, and they had never suffered like this in ordinary times, so she didn't let them keep vigil and sent them to the side room to sleep well, otherwise they would definitely be tired all the way.
Ye Qian was lying flat, her legs straight, her hands obediently resting on her stomach, and her eyes closed. My mind was full of mountains, wilderness, wheat fields, and small rivers that I had seen on the road......
She rolled over, opened her eyes and glanced out the window, but was startled by the swaying shadows of the trees, the black shadows reflected in the window, and there was a feeling of teeth and claws. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, just the shadow of the tree." She rolled over again, turned inside, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
But she always felt insecure when she was facing inward, as if something was behind her, so she quickly flipped it back.
King Yu hadn't slept yet, sitting in the hall and listening to her movements, she lived outside for the first time, and felt sorry for the maid who didn't let them keep vigil, he was not at ease, and planned to wait for her to fall asleep before going to sleep, but he heard the sound of her turning back and forth, and she could feel her uneasiness through a wall.
"Qianqian." He stood in the doorway and called softly.
"Brother Yan!" Ye Qian responded immediately, when she was a little scared on this night, she felt much more relieved to hear his voice.
King Yu pushed the door in, walked to her bedside, took off his robe, took off his boots, lay down on the bed, uncovered her quilt, held her in his arms, and patted her back gently, "Qianqian, sleep, I'll accompany you." ”
With a familiar embrace and a familiar smell, Ye Qian relaxed suddenly, yawned, nestled comfortably in his arms, and soon fell asleep.
King Yu originally planned to leave when she was asleep, but she grabbed the clothes around his waist with one small hand, and grabbed the placket of his clothes with the other. That's it, the little girl is not at ease after all, so let's sleep with her.
King Yu took her soft little body into his arms, rested his chin on the top of her shaggy hair, and closed his eyes. Soon, the two breaths intertwined, and together they became long.
In the morning, Bai Zhen entered the hall lightly, but saw Gonggong Kang waving his hand at her, making a silent gesture, and pointing to the east room. When he came over in the morning, he found that his prince was not in the west room where he was originally sleeping, and there was no movement in the east room, and it was estimated that both of them were asleep, so they waited quietly in the hall.
King Yu had actually woken up a long time ago, but the little girl was sleeping soundly in his arms, and he didn't want to wake her up, so he didn't move.
Ye Qian's thick eyelashes flapped twice, her big apricot eyes opened, she just woke up, she was still a little dazed, and smiled at King Yu, "Brother Yan." ”
"Qianqian woke up?" King Yu pulled up her messy middle coat and helped her pull the messy hair next to her cheeks behind her ears.
"Hmm." Ye Qian slowly came back to her senses, "Did Brother Yan sleep here last night?" ”
King Yu hugged her and let go again, "I have never slept in a strange place, I am a little nervous when I sleep alone, it is better to sleep with Qianqian, along the way, Qianqian sleeps with me, okay?" ”
Okay, great! Ye Qian was already a little scared, but she didn't expect that King Yu would be the same as her, so the two of them would not be afraid to be companions. She nodded happily, "That's great!" "Since the year she had acne, King Yu held her for a nap, and later when she was in King Yu's mansion, King Yu took a nap with her at noon, and the two slept together, and she never felt wrong.
Seeing that she agreed without hesitation, King Yu sat up and pulled her up with his hand, "Wash up, let's have breakfast." ”
The next day, take the carriage again, Ye Qian is not upright, King Yu's carriage is huge, both sides are soft couches, the length is enough to lie down a person, Ye Qian simply put her legs on it, comfortably leaning on the big soft pillow, and King Yu has a ride or not to talk.
On the third day, Ye Qian looked outside, Zheng Han and they were all riding horses, and they seemed to be very comfortable.
King Yu knew what she was thinking as soon as he saw her eyes, and took out a set of clothes from the carriage, "Qianqian, change this dress." ”
Ye Qian unfolded her clothes strangely and found that it was a men's robe, which was very similar to that on King Yu's body, but it was a lot smaller, "This is, for me?" ”
King Yu nodded, "Well, change to this, I'll take Qianqian to ride a horse." "The girl's skirt is not suitable for horseback riding, and he prepared this man's robe for her before she set out, and made several sets according to her size, and brought them all.
"Horseback riding?" Ye Qian was excited, "I'll change it out." She was not shy, she directly untied her dress and changed it in front of King Yu, mainly because the two of them have often been together in the past two years, and she is wearing a middle coat, King Yu has seen it many times.
She didn't wear a men's robe, she couldn't figure out the doorway, King Yu helped her pull her sleeves apart, cover the placket, tie the belt, and tidy it up smoothly, thought about it, and took apart the bun on her head, and pulled a man's bun, now Ye Qian became a very beautiful young master.
Ye Qian twisted her body curiously to look at it, King Yu took out a mirror from the dark grid and handed it to her, Ye Qian took a look at it beautifully, "Brother Yan, this is very good." "If you go out in men's clothes, it's not much more convenient than women's clothes.
King Yu stopped the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, turned around and hugged Ye Qian again. The surrounding guards watched King Yu get a little young master out of the car, their eyes were almost straight, and Bai Zhen and Lu Fei in the carriage behind took a closer look, only to find that it was their own girl.
Zheng Han led King Yu's horse over, Ye Qian stood in front of the horse, only to find that it was taller than she thought, and her happy heart was half cold, she looked at King Yu a little timidly, not knowing how to climb on the horse's back.
King Yu was not in a hurry, and taught her slowly, telling her to put one foot into the pedal first, grasp the saddle hard, and lift the other leg. Ye Qian was small and couldn't reach her legs, so King Yu took advantage of the situation to lift her, and Ye Qian sat firmly on the saddle.
"Brother Yan, I'm up!" Ye Qian's white and tender fingers grabbed the saddle tightly, excited and nervous, she had never ridden a horse before, she felt that she was very tall at this time, very far from the ground, she didn't dare to move.
King Yu leaned slightly, got on the horse lightly, sat behind Ye Qian, wrapped his arms around her body, pulled the reins, and said with a smile: "Qianqian, relax, with me, I won't fall." ”
Ye Qian's body moved slightly, she was encircled in the arms of King Yu, and she was much more relieved at once, feeling extremely safe now, "Brother Yan, let this horse go." ”
When King Yu heard this, he shook the reins, the horse took a step, and the entourage in front and behind also moved, and the whole team began to move forward slowly.
Although it was the first time to ride a horse, but with King Yu by his side, Ye Qian soon became no longer afraid. "Brother Yan, it turns out that riding a horse is so fun, let's also ride a horse in the future, okay?" She felt that riding a horse was much more interesting than riding a carriage, not to mention that it was only a little higher, but her vision suddenly widened a lot, and the scenery everywhere felt different.
"Of course." King Yu smiled, "As long as Qianqian is not tired, she can ride a horse at any time." "This way, thousands of mountains and rivers, even if his carriage is comfortable, it is inevitable to be bored to stay in it, as long as she is willing, in fact, he will accompany her.
"Not tired at all!"
Although she was not tired, after riding for half an hour, Ye Qian's waist was still a little sore, and her legs were a little sore. King Yu saw that she was not as happy as she was at the beginning, so he knew that it was almost over, reined in the horse, jumped down first, and hugged Ye Qian down, "Qianqian rode a horse for the first time, so I will be here today, and we will ride again tomorrow." ”
Only then did Ye Qian know that riding a horse was much more difficult than riding a carriage.
After that, Ye Qian had to ride a horse for half an hour every morning and afternoon, of course, King Yu took her, not let her ride alone. After walking for more than ten days, I arrived at a very large and prosperous city - Wonju City. King Yu decided to rest in this city for two days, so that everyone could slow down and get on the road again. The main thing was not that he was worried about those guards and his entourage, but that his little princess would not be able to stand it, so he simply stayed in the prefect's mansion for two days before leaving.
