Chapter 216 After Rebirth, the Young Lady Will Marry a Dandy Man (29)

Although Xiao He agreed, she was still nervous after coming out.

Just as she said, she is the princess's relative. What on earth is the princess thinking that she was allowed to spread the news?

No matter how bad the relationship is with her family, it is still her family after all, right?

It will be disadvantageous to the princess herself.

Xiao He was filled with sorrow, but she had already agreed to the princess' request, so she was determined to do it.

Xiao He, who was just sighing, bumped into Zhou Zimu head-on.

She quickly knelt down and saluted: "Your Highness."

"No need to be polite," Zhou Zimu raised his hand to her, then asked, "What are you going to do?"

"The princess asked me to do something." Xiao He said.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Zimu continued to ask.

Xiao He didn't expect him to ask further questions. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should tell him or not. After all, this matter...

After thinking for a long time, Xiao He finally told the story.

Although she served Shen Ci, her contract was in Prince You's Mansion. Compared with the two masters, she naturally listened to the prince more.

Zhou Zimu was not surprised after hearing this, as he had expected that this girl would definitely interfere again.

He nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then said to Xiao He: "Go ahead and do it."

Xiao He was slightly stunned when she heard this.

Go to do it?

If the prince knew about this, shouldn't he have stopped it? After all, this is too ridiculous.

"Yes, I'll go right away." But she couldn't interfere with her master's thoughts. Whatever the prince said was what it was, and she, the servant, had to agree.

Xiao He walked away, and Zhou Zimu entered Shen Ci's yard.

When the servants saw him, they saluted him one after another, and then ran inside to report to Shen Ci.

Shen Ci, who was reading a storybook inside, put down the storybook and came out to greet them.

Zhou Zimu actually didn't like this kind of etiquette very much. He always felt that it distanced him from the other party.

"Your Highness, how come you have time to come here at this time?" He asked Zhou Zimu after welcoming him into the room.

This time is the Chenshi, which is eight or nine o'clock in modern times.

It is true that this time is very early, but for Zhou Zimu, it is the time for court. Officials would wait outside the Meridian Gate from three to five o'clock. The court would officially begin at five o'clock in the morning, and then end after nine o'clock.

Since Shen Ci and Zhou Zimu got married, the earliest time Zhou Zimu came home was 11 o'clock in the afternoon. Today was really too early, so she couldn't help asking.

"The emperor is in a good mood today, so he came to court early." Zhou Zimu said.

From the way Zhou Zimu addressed his father, it can be seen that he had a bad relationship with this father.

So why does the text say that the emperor doted on Zhou Zimu so much?

Shen Ci closed his eyes, full of contemplation.

"Are you in a good mood? Is there any good news today?" Shen Ci asked.

"It's just a happy event for him." Zhou Zimu said.

Shen Ci heard that there was something wrong with his tone, and moved his lips to ask more questions, but then felt that it was not a good idea, so he closed his lips again.

"Do you want to go out and play?" Zhou Zimu suddenly asked her.

"What are you playing?"

"I have a villa in Licheng. Do you want to go there? The scenery there is very beautiful, with many lotus ponds, peach trees, and chrysanthemums. The lotus and peach blossoms are out of season, but the chrysanthemums are in season. This season is also the time when the lotus roots and fish in the lotus pond are ripe. In the past, it was a great pleasure to enjoy a bowl of lotus root soup or fish soup while admiring the chrysanthemums. The chefs there are not as skilled as those in the mansion, but they are excellent at making lotus root pork ribs soup and fish soup."

Zhou Zimu spoke slowly, allowing Shen Ci to think of the scenery there.

But at the same time, Shen Ci also heard something amiss.

Zhou Zimu's attitude of trying hard to sell the product seemed to be that he wanted her to be moved and then go over to play.

"Will you join us?" Shen Ci thought for a moment and asked.

Zhou Zimu shook his head: "There are many things to do in the court, so I won't go."

"If you don't go, what's the point of me going alone?" Shen Ci replied.

"If you go, it will be like I've gone there too. I haven't been out of Beijing for a long time. Just consider it as fulfilling my wish, okay?" Zhou Zimu looked at her seriously and said.

If Shen Ci had a simple mind, she would have agreed, but she was not a simple-minded person.

Shen Ci took a deep breath and asked Zhou Zimu: "Prince, what happened?"

Zhou Zimu asked in confusion: "What happened?"

"Your Highness, you don't have to act with me. Your sudden proposal is very abrupt, you know that?" Shen Ci said.

Zhou Zimu's eyes flickered slightly. He was a little anxious, so he didn't act well...

"Things in the capital will change soon. My advice to you is to go to Licheng and stay there. Don't leave and don't come back." Zhou Zimu said.

"Stay there all the time?"

Zhou Zimu lowered his eyes: "Not really. After two or three years, you can leave, but don't return to the capital."

"What kind of changes will take place in the capital after such a long time?" Shen Ci asked him.

"I can't explain this matter to you clearly. After all, it is none of your business. Just leave." Zhou Zimu said.

He suddenly felt lucky that nothing had happened between him and her, otherwise...

"How is it none of my business, Zhou Zimu? Don't you understand enough about my behavior all along?" Shen Ci looked at him with gloomy eyes. She, who always loved to smile, was full of gloom at this moment.

"you……"

"I like you, do you understand? You kissed my ear that day, don't you take responsibility? I am a woman and you are a man. If you don't take responsibility, what do you think of me?" Shen Ci reached out and grabbed his sleeve tightly.

She couldn't accept it.

Even though she knew he was doing it for her own good, she still couldn't accept it.

Just like she couldn't accept that the man had used his own life in exchange for her life.

How could she possibly accept it?

Why is he always like this? To protect her, he should also ask for her opinion, okay? She has never been weak, and she can also protect him.

"Of course I will be responsible..." Zhou Zimu looked at her blankly and said.

Has she always liked him? Zhou Zimu felt happy, but also had some... various indescribable emotions.

Of course he wanted to be responsible for her, but if...

Zhou Zimu shook his head. There could be no ifs. With her words, he should make up his mind.

Find a way out for yourself, and the end of this road is her.

"When I come out, I'll come to find you." Zhou Zimu raised his hand, rubbed her face and said.

"Then why don't you keep me? Do you look down on me?"

"No, it's just that the capital city will be very dangerous, I..."

"In that case, let's fight." Shen Ci said.

Zhou Zimu was confused: "What?"

"I say, let's have a fight." Shen Ci repeated.

"Do you know martial arts?"

Shen Ci slapped his hand down and said, "What do you think, Prince? Otherwise, how do you think I made it to the capital safely?"

Zhou Zimu didn't know what to say for a moment...

Shen Ci grabbed his wrist and walked out to the martial arts field of Prince You's Mansion.
