Chapter 198 After Rebirth, the Young Lady Will Marry a Dandy Man (11)

So she's not from there?

Zhou Zimu lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Sanpan looked at the fish in the pond and suddenly asked, "Did the prince know the princess before?"

Zhou Zimu frowned: "I've never seen it before, why do you ask that, sir?"

"Alas, I, an old man, just don't understand why the prince looked at the princess with such deep affection and trust in her eyes." Li Sanpan sighed, "I remember that the prince was a very vigilant person."

Zhou Zimu finally reacted after he reminded him. No, it should be said that he had noticed it a long time ago, but he had been hiding his emotions and refused to admit it.

Zhou Zimu did not reply.

The fish in the pond were playing happily, swaying their bodies, causing ripples in the water, just like Zhou Zimu's mood at the moment.

The seventh day after Shen Ci married into Prince You’s Mansion was also the day for her to return home.

The so-called return visit is the day when the bride brings her husband back to her parents' home for the first time after marrying into her husband's family. After the return visit, everyone becomes a family.

As for the day when the bride returns to her parents' home, some say it is three days after the wedding, some say it is five days, and in some cases it is as long as a month after the wedding, all depending on the local customs.

The custom in the capital is to hold a wedding on the seventh day after the bride's marriage.

Shen Ci was woken up early, and after she had dressed up, it was already dawn.

After having breakfast with Zhou Zimu in the main courtyard, he took the return gift and set off for the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shen Ci sat in the carriage, full of interest.

The life of people in ancient times was extremely boring. Today she was returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so some competition was inevitable. Shen Ci, who had been idle for so long, was naturally full of expectations.

I don’t know if I will bump into the heroine today by chance. If so, it will be very interesting.

Thinking of this, she looked at Zhou Zimu.

Zhou Zimu noticed her gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your Highness knows that I am not the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. How will Your Highness treat me when I return home today?" She asked back with her red lips slightly opened.

The rouge that the maids changed for her today was very bright in color, which matched her skin tone very well, but also made her look charming.

Zhou Zimu looked at her lips, and his mind unconsciously recalled what Li Sanpan had said to him, 'The power of emotions is always enormous'.

He was not a fool, so he naturally understood what Li Sanpan was talking about. He was saying...

He developed feelings for the girl in front of him.

That's why he suppressed his heart-eating snake for her, always had inexplicable emotions towards her, and did things he shouldn't have done...

But Zhou Zimu didn't know whether this relationship was good or bad.

Despite what Li Sanpan said, her appearance was still too coincidental, making people doubt her identity.

Once he began to doubt her identity, he had to think a lot.

If she was from that side, how would he treat her? Hurt her? How could he bear to do that? If he didn't hurt her, she would hurt him.

And if she wasn't, and he dragged her into this fight, he wasn't arrogant, and he would definitely be able to protect her, because villains are always scheming, and if someone noticed her and wanted to use her to threaten him, if he didn't protect her well...

She will be hurt.

Zhou Zimu clenched his fists. He hated his identity as a prince and also hated his high and mighty father, the emperor.

"I am very satisfied with the Prime Minister's daughter, so I will treat you as I should." Zhou Zimu replied.

Shen Ci pursed his lips, dissatisfied with this answer: "My Lord, it's not enough."

"Not enough?"

"Yes, it's not enough. I want the prince to show the utmost favor towards me and to do whatever I say. I want the Prime Minister's Mansion to know what they have lost." Shen Ci grabbed Zhou Zimu's robe and moved forward, shortening the distance between her and Zhou Zimu.

Zhou Zimu was wearing a dark purple robe with golden cloud patterns embroidered on it today.

The robe is exquisitely made and not only looks noble, but is also extremely comfortable to the touch.

Shen Ci put his hand under his sleeve, placed his palm against his, then slowly bent his fingers and interlocked theirs.

Zhou Zimu stared at her intently, forgetting everything for a moment and only paying attention to the person in front of him.

"My Lord, please listen to me, please pamper me," she said with an innocent look.

Zhou Zimu opened his lips and said, "Okay."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Ci narrowed his eyes, raised his body slightly, kissed him on the cheek, and then quickly distanced themselves from each other.

Zhou Zimu was completely stunned. He raised his hand and touched his face. Although he tried hard to keep his expression steady, his slightly upturned lips showed that he was in a good mood.

"Cough." He coughed, turned his head away, and expressionlessly lifted the curtain of the carriage to look outside, but he did not notice that this action exposed his red ears.

Shen Ci also curled his lips, not wanting to disturb his happy mood, and whistled in front of the system: "Huh~"

System: [……]

System Angry: [I saw him as tall, mighty, cold and ruthless, how could he be so disappointing! ]

"Tong, you lost." Shen Ci sighed.

The system said stubbornly: [Who said that? The result has not been decided yet. Now it’s all illusion! Zhou Zimu, wake up! You should like the heroine! ]

The system shouted out the following words.

But it could only shout in Shen Ci's mind.

After shaking for a while, the carriage finally stopped.

Following the driver's "Call", the guard Wu Qing's voice came from outside: "Prince, we have arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Well, go and report it." Zhou Zimu raised his voice slightly so that Wu Qing outside could hear it.

"Yes." Wu Qing responded loudly.

Even though Zhou Zimu was known as the Mad King, his status was high enough that everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion came to greet him when he arrived.

Zhou Zimu also deliberately waited in the carriage for a while, and only when someone came to greet him did he say to Shen Ci: "Get off."

Having said that, he opened the curtain and got out of the car first.

"This old minister brings the Yan family to welcome His Majesty and pays homage to His Majesty." Prime Minister Yan Wei and the Yan family paid their respects to Zhou Zimu.

Zhou Zimu took a look and nodded, then withdrew his gaze with a neutral tone, waiting for Shen Ci to come out.

Shen Ci got out of the carriage, which was slightly high.

Therefore, the carriage would be equipped with a stool for the owner to step down.

But Zhou Zimu was good at martial arts and could just jump down directly, so the carriage was not equipped with these things.

Shen Ci didn't pay attention to these things. The carriage was a little high, but it was just that high. It wasn't like he couldn't jump down.

She lifted her dress and was about to jump off the carriage, but Zhou Zimu stopped her and whispered, "Silly."

Then he reached out his hand, grabbed her waist, and carried her down from the carriage.

"I, the king of martial arts, don't like stepping on stools, but I won't let you jump off like me."

His voice, expression, and movements were all gentle, leaving everyone stunned...
