The night was indeed very deep. At this time, there were few people walking around in the fort except for the soldiers on duty.

The wind and snow that had already stopped slightly became more victorious at this time. The cold wind whistled, the snowflakes condensed like gooseberry, and the view was white, but there was not much snow on the ground. This was because the heating process was rusty when the fort was renovated, and the sealing and warming effect was not very good, which caused the heat to leak out.

The second half of the fort was originally built for the family of the garrison soldiers to live in. If the Huainan Army had not been highly prepared or sent out to fight, it would not be prohibited from accompanying the army. However, due to Shen Zhezi's arrival, he recruited this place as a temporary place for the princess and his ranks. The original garrison soldiers and their families had withdrawn to Shouchun City during the day, so now only the princess and the family members who accompanied him and the palace people rewarded by the Empress Dowager.

In fact, in order to welcome the arrival of the princess, Shen Zhezi also made some preparations here. Naturally, he would not do anything to force the girl to rob the girl. If he had any intention of revealing his desire to select a group of maids who served the princess' daily life, all families became busy in the realm, and even many people sent their own legitimate daughters directly. As for whether it was really just a simple use of cleaning up, everyone knew it.

It was snowing in the afternoon and could no longer rush back to Shouchun City directly, so these maids were also taken out of the city to come here, with nearly a hundred people. In addition, the princess was followed by hundreds of people, and the inner castle was only 20 to 30 houses, which were almost difficult to settle.

There is a single heating furnace in the inner castle, and the rooms are full of heat. Previously, there were female relatives from various village families here to welcome the princess, and the scene became even more chaotic. After those people left, the courtyard house only returned to a little quiet. The palace people were all tired from traveling. Except for the dozen people left by the princess, the rest of them all went into the room to rest.

The room where the princess lived was an ordinary house in the fortress, so naturally there was no luxury, it was better than cleanliness. Soon after the princess arrived, she felt in a bad spirit and slept in the inner room. In the outer room, several maids also held their foreheads with their hands and yawned repeatedly.

In a corner behind the screen in the room, several elderly women following the entourage were whispering.

"These stupid women really thought they could stretch their legs when they reached the earth and sleep with their legs! They didn't see the women standing in the courtyard, all staring at each other wide-eyed and staring at them..."

The person who spoke was a female Shi, a surname named Zhou who married the princess in her early years. Her son is now a disciple of Shen. This time he is here to wait for the selection of the boss. Therefore, the female Shi of Zhou has followed him all the way without hesitation.

On the other side is a charming young woman who covered her mouth and yawned. She was also the wife of Yunzhi who followed the princess out of the palace in her early years. She has already promised to be her second wife to Ling Renqiu. Hearing Zhou Nushi say this, Yunzhi couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh my aunt, don't be scary. There is no such thing in our mansion. The princess and the young princess are with us. We have met all the way, so how could this kind of right and wrong?"

After hearing this, Zhou Nushi smiled and said, "I am not a person who speaks right and wrong. You don't know about Madam Yunzhi. But when you look at the men of the court, Yan is just for the attendant to listen. His knuckles are white. He bent down and looked at him and felt stiff when he saw it. If he didn't say anything, he wouldn't know that he would always use hot soup utensils in front of the corridor. How could he have any attitude of using it? Our palace master is now in the south and north, who doesn't want to get close to him? Even if he only has a little hope, it is enough to fight with his own hands and bones. In previous years, in Jiangdong, all families always knew things and avoided taboos, but after passing through Jiang, a place where few people are involved in the royal sect, he naturally has fewer concerns..."

"I won't argue with you if the Zhou Nushi said this. However, the two young masters of our family are really a role model for lovers in the world. The Langzhu is a great husband with a heart of kingly destiny and people, and has never taken care of such deeds. The main family is prominent, not in recent years. If the Langzhu has these interests, why should it be limited to the north and south? Not to mention anything else, you can see how rich the Erlang curtain of the Beppu is, but you can see the relatives of the mansion. You are not just taking the new things casually. The few family members have learned many lessons but have not changed them again and again!"

Mrs. Yunzhi smiled and said, "After all, it has nothing to do with the north and south, nor has it to do with fortune. In the final analysis, our husband is still noble in character, so how can we allow ordinary women to be lightly defiled?"

"This has nothing to do with whether the character is noble or not. The Minister Xie, who accompanied him this time, is also a first-class talent in Jiangbiao. Who dares to say that he is not noble, but he is also very interested and has seen something along the way."

Zhou Nushi counted on his fingers and directly named Xie Shang who came with him. Xie Shang is indeed a good person, with considerable family background, characters, and interests, but he is indeed a little indulgent in his personal affairs. This time, the Empress Dowager rewarded so many palace ladies, so of course it is impossible for him to serve the princess. Some of them are also used to reward the soldiers who have been meritorious in Huainan. Along the way, Xie Shang has already chosen some of them first by taking advantage of his position. This is also a small matter of personal ethics and is not worth mentioning.

"The most fearful thing in the world is the word "serious". Our master is the natural choice in this world. Shi Yu and his family are rarely comparable, so there will naturally be too many people who want to use this secret knot to communicate well. So later, we will also remind these stupid ladies to guard the curtain door and not to disturb the master for a moment!"

"cough!"

Mrs. Cui Ling, who had been sitting next to her and not interrupting the discussion, suddenly coughed lightly and raised her hand to knock on the desk. At this time, several women sitting around and chatting noticed that there was a shaking figure behind the screen, and the sound of ring pendants, the princess who had already fallen asleep had already woken up.

Several women looked at each other, and they were all a little nervous. They hurriedly got up and picked up their thick velvet fur coats and walked up hurriedly.

After sleeping for nearly two hours, Princess Xing looked a little red in her pretty face. After leaving the inner room, a palace servant hurriedly brought warm tea, spit pots and other side of her side. The Zhou girl Shi carefully surrounded the princesses. Seeing that the maids in the corridor hurried over to enter the room to serve, her brows frown even more and signaled to the palace servant to block these people outside the door.

After asking the moment, Princess Xing waved her hand and asked the palace people to go down to rest. She sat in front of the screen and stared at the candlelight on the table in a daze.

After everyone else retreated, Mrs. Cui Ling, who was sitting on the other side, frequently looked at the princess's expression. After a while, she mustered up the courage and whispered: "Princess, I don't believe what Zhou Nushi said just now... The man, the man will never..."

"Miss A Ling, what did you say?"

Princess Xingnan turned her head and looked at Cui Ling in surprise. After a while, she realized: "Oh, are you talking about those women outside?"

Seeing the princess reacting like this, she couldn't help but find it difficult to answer. She couldn't help but watch out whether the princess was not worried or pretending to be calm, so she lowered her head and gently twisted the corner of her clothes with her fingers.

After being interrupted by Cui Ling's wife, Princess Xing'an's eyes regained their agility again. She pointed to the group of bellies standing under the corridor and said with a smile: "This is just an ordinary thing. I am thinking about him in my heart, and I care about what these idle people do. When I am young, I am a couple. How could I not know who he is? If I hadn't entered the town this time, he would not have the heart to do these idle things."

While speaking, a maid outside the door hurried to the door and whispered with excitement: "Master, the Master is here!"

After hearing this, Princess Xing'an showed her beautiful cheeks even more. She immediately stood up, pulled up the hood on her fur and put it on her head, and then walked out of the room and stood in front of the porch.

At this time, nearly fifty or sixty maids prepared by Huainan Neishi Mansion stood under the corridor. Because there were earth dragons passing by under the corridor, they didn't feel cold. Although most of them did not understand the court etiquette, they also understood the principle of avoiding the venerable. When they saw the princess walking out of the room, they all retreated slightly to more than a meter away and dared not approach. There were also people who looked up curiously, looking at what kind of woman was matched by Chen Hou.

"Horse Chen, Hou Chen is here!"

A woman suddenly heard a low cry from the other side corridor, so the maids in the corridor all turned to look at the entrance of the inner castle. Although most of them were locals in Huainan, to be honest, they really didn't have any chance to see Chen Hou. Even if they were selected to the Inner Historian Mansion to wait for the reception, such matters would be handled by the Mansion. No matter how idle Shen Zhezi would not come forward in person. Therefore, most of the people only heard the name of Chen Hou who was shocked by Huainan. Even if they saw him, they could only look at him from afar and not be able to see it.

At this time, the wind and snow became heavier, and the snowflakes as big as goose feathers were even swept into the corridor. Although the inner castle was brightly lit, the view was not wide. Looking around, you can only see the white and bright snowflakes dancing.

Finally, a tall figure appeared in the field of view. The black cloak was a bit hazy against the flying snowflakes. A small golden silk crown was faintly visible under the wind hood, and the two strands of drooping hair were rolled up by the night wind. The maids in the corridor who were looking up need to look at it carefully before they could see their handsome face through the flying snowflakes. The corner of the cloak was blown away by the wind. Under the jade belt, they were wearing heavy talismans, pressing the brocade robe without any chaotic movements. The deer-skin boots stepped on the ground, making steady but slightly rapid footsteps.

Even without other factors, Shen Zhezi was walking wide at this time, describing his demeanor. The snowflakes in the sky were dancing, the cloak was graceful, and the robe was shaking, which added a unique temperament. Compared with the solemn and majestic military uniform, he was wearing simple clothes, with a wide cloak, and his steps were agile and broad, and his handsome posture was eye-catching.

"This, is this Chen Hou?"

At this time, many maids watching the corridor could not help but murmur, their tone was a hint of uncertainty. The increasingly real, handsome and elegant man in his vision was more like a good match who might have existed in this world. He appeared in front of him in a beautiful and dreamy way in their fantasy, which was really inextricable with the mighty commander who was in charge of the killing of all troops and the life and death of all sentient beings.

"This is Chen Hou!"

A whisper of affirmation sounded from the waiting crowd, and then some people lowered their heads shyly, not daring to look at the Ying who was getting closer and closer. The Zhou Nushi did not misunderstand them. In fact, after they were selected as the Inner Shi Mansion, their relatives in front of them more than once told them to seize this opportunity. If they could serve in the court of Chen Hou, then it would be a great blessing for them.

Shen Zhezi quickly walked into the fort and saw the scene of the girls standing together in the corridor. He was stunned for a moment. However, after his eyes were turned around in the corridor for a week, he soon found the figure wrapped in a thick fur coat, so he smiled and accelerated his foot. But when he reached the corridor several feet away, Princess Xingnan had already run out of the corridor and threw her delicate body into his arms.

"Beware of the wind and snow!"

At this time, he was in the inner castle, Shen Zhezi was also casually behaved, handing the jade stick to the palace servant who was catching up with him, and then covering the princess's hood that was blown down by the night wind on her head, wrapping her cloaked in her arms. The girl snuggled deep into Shen Zhezi's arms, her eyeliner curved into crescent moons, and there were many protesting look back halls. It seemed that she was not completely unfavorable to these people who covet her husband.

The maids watching the hall in the corridor watched as Chen Hou disappeared into the door, and their eyes slowly could not be withdrawn. After a while, Mrs. Cui Ling walked out of the room with a hint of joy and pride on her face, and said, "Mr. Chen has an order. The snow and cold at night, so there is no need to leave the servant to listen. You all retreat and go to the lobby."

Nearly a quarter of an hour later, the wandering figures in the corridor gradually dissipated, and they felt lost and regretful. They were fortunate to see them, but they had no chance to attract them, which added a bit of self-pity and sadness to this stormy night.
