Chapter 114 Zhou Shuzhi Mansion
This is Bei'an Palace...

A personal maid lifted the curtain of the carriage, and another maid helped Zhou Shu get off the carriage.

Zhou Shu looked up at the signboard of Bei'an Palace in front of him, it looked very new, it seemed that it had been replaced not long ago.

In front of the gate of the mansion, Lu Wuyou and Yang Zhen were already waiting. When they saw Zhou Shu get off the sedan chair, their eyes lit up. It seemed that they did not expect this princess to have such an outstanding appearance.

The two immediately went forward: "I have seen the princess."

Even though Su Yuan had rebelled against him and didn't take any court or emperor seriously, the two of them still respected Zhou Shu.

Among other things, if one day Su Yuanzhen marries her, she will become a princess, mistress... In short, she must not be offended.

After the two introduced themselves, Lu Wuyou went to work on government affairs, and Yang Zhen was mainly responsible for arranging her residence and other matters.

"My lord princess, since I knew you were coming, I, an old man, have already started preparing a residence for you. The prince has already told you that you must live comfortably."

Of course Su Yuan didn't explain this kind of thing, it was purely Yang Zhen's random play.

However, Zhou Shu didn't seem to care too much. After she entered the palace, she looked at the soldiers patrolling the palace from time to time.

Be well guarded... she thought to herself.

The two maidservants followed Zhou Shu closely. Zhou Shu married his relatives, so they must also come with him.

Soon, Yang Zhen brought the three of them to a well-decorated house in the inner courtyard.

"My lord princess, are you satisfied with this house?"

"Very satisfied, thank you."

"My lord princess, what are you talking about? From now on, you will be a member of our palace, and you are all one family. Don't talk about two families."

"..."

Zhou Shu fell silent.

Instead, a servant girl asked: "Butler Yang, are you... King Bei'an not here?"

When Yang Zhen heard this, his old face suddenly appeared a little unnatural.

"My lord, he is busy with military affairs... he is not in Taiyuan now."

It's really embarrassing that the heroine is here, but the heroine is not there.

Zhou Shu's ears twitched when he heard the word "military affairs", but he didn't say anything, and even secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Although she tried to be calm, she was still a 16-year-old girl who had no human experience, and she still had a certain resistance to matters between men and women.

In particular, the marriage is not a kind of like-mindedness, it is purely a product of politics, and she is also weaker than Su Yuan in terms of status as the one being married.

And she knew in her heart that after sending her here, no one from the Great Zhou royal family would care about her anymore.No matter how she is treated by Su Yuan, the royal family will no longer care about her.

She is now in this unfamiliar place, she can only rely on herself.

With all these things, she inevitably felt a little fearful of Su Yuan.Now that Su Yuan is not here, she is glad in her heart.

Later, Yang Zhen explained some things to her.

"My lord princess, the courtyard next to you is the prince's residence. You can go and see it if you want. You can visit anywhere you want, but the prince of the East courtyard has explained before that idlers are not allowed to approach at will. You It's definitely not an idler waiting, but...before the prince speaks, you'd better not go there."

It doesn't matter if Yang Zhen doesn't say it, but Zhou Shu becomes even more curious when he says it.

Is there any place in this palace that is more important than Su Yuan, the prince's residence?
She can go to the Suyuan Courtyard, but not the East Courtyard?

After Yang Zhen said that, he was worried that Zhou Shu might misunderstand, and added: "Don't think too much, there lives in that courtyard a person whom the prince respects very much, and that person doesn't like making noise, so the prince doesn't let others bother him."

Those who don't like to be noisy are naturally Zhen Miao. Su Yuan has already explained that no one is allowed to disturb him if he has nothing to do, otherwise he will be dealt with severely.

"I understand."

As a newcomer, Zhou Shu naturally does as he pleases, and everything is arranged by Yang Zhen.

Soon, after Yang Zhen left, Zhou Shu and two maidservants cleaned up the yard and room.

Although the yard is not very big, there are many flowers and plants, which is very pleasant.Although there are only a few rooms in the house, they have all the necessary furniture, and one of them has a desk with paper, ink, pens and inkstones on it.

Zhou Shu felt that if she could stay in this small courtyard for a lifetime, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

But she knew it was just a delusion.

"Princess, the King of Bei'an really neglected you." After tidying up the house, the servant girl Xiaoqing said dissatisfiedly, "You came from the capital all the way, yet he is busy with military affairs and doesn't even see you."

"Yes." Xiaoyue, another maidservant, also said, "It seems that the King of Bei'an doesn't seem to care too much about you, Princess."

Zhou Shu smiled faintly: "Actually, this is quite good."

"Princess……"

Xiaoqing Xiaoyue saw Zhou Shu smiling, but her own eyes were red.

They all felt worthless for Zhou Shu. They knew that their master was beautiful, well-educated, and a talented woman, but in the end they could only end up as a married couple.

It's nothing more than a marriage, but Su Yuan, the king of Bei'an, doesn't take his own princess seriously, how can this not make them sad.

Seeing that the two were sad, Zhou Shu raised his hand to wipe away the tears on their faces, and said softly, "Okay, don't be sad. Let's go out for a stroll."

"Out of the house?!"

Both of them stared with anticipation in their eyes.

"Well, didn't Steward Yang just say that we can go out. Why, you don't want to go?"

"miss you!"

Without thinking, the two spoke in unison.

After finishing speaking, they all showed shame on their faces, as if they felt that their master had clearly experienced something bad, and they shouldn't be so excited now.

Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Okay, I don't usually go out of the palace very much. Like you, I am very curious about the outside world. Let's go."

She brought two maidservants to the gate of the palace and tried to go out, but the guards just glanced at them and did not stop them.

However, after the three of them went out, several palace guards followed behind.

One of them said: "My lord princess, Master Lu has told you that if you want to leave the mansion, the rest of us must follow to ensure your safety."

Zhou Shu has a good memory, and knows that the "Master Lu" that the guard said was the former Lu Wuyou.

She nodded: "Then it's time to work."

"The responsibility lies."

After finishing speaking, Fu Wei took a few steps back and kept a certain distance from Zhou Shu.

When the three of Zhou Shu left Bei'an Prince's Mansion, they saw the bustling streets, people coming and going from south to north, and life was full of turmoil.

"Didn't you say that Mozhou is a desolate place in northern Xinjiang?" Xiaoqing looked at it and said, "I didn't expect it to be quite prosperous."

"That's right, there are people singing over there! It's not like the 'hell on earth' that is said in the palace at all." Xiaoyue pointed in one direction.

Zhou Shu looked over, and sure enough there were a few people singing heartily on the side of the street, looking very complacent.

This leisurely city life made her feel a little relieved, but it also aroused her more curiosity.

She has been living in the palace, and it is inevitable that she will be affected by the rumors.Rumor has it that Su Yuan has a green face and fangs, saying that Taiyuan under his rule is a hell on earth.

But no matter how you look at it now, it has nothing to do with the word "hell".

Maybe...

A trace of inexplicable expectation arose in Zhou Shu's heart.She thought, maybe Su Yuan wouldn't be as violent and terrifying with a green face and fangs as in the legend.
