Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Zhou Yanze's eyes were full of love as he stared at Liu Yanyan, "Yanyan, sit down and have your meal. You don't have to go to the palace so early. You can still have time after dinner."

A trace of surprise flashed across Liu Yanyan's eyes, and she said calmly, "Is this not a good thing? I should go to the palace to express my gratitude today."

Zhou Yanze handed over the jade chopsticks and said, "The emperor is still in court, we can go later, you should relax, don't be so restrained, eat first."

Liu Yanyan then sat down on the golden nanmu chair next to the prince, took the jade chopsticks and placed them next to her, took the bird's nest that Yuzhu brought, and ate it in small bites, but there was a hint of worry on her face.

Zhou Yanze's eyes were full of love as he looked straight at Yanyan, while the people around him all lowered their heads and smiled secretly.

Liu Yanyan felt the burning gazes beside her, and she was stunned. She looked up. Yuzhu lowered her head to serve the dishes, and Xiaohe also lowered her head to serve the dishes. She looked at Zhou Yanze in confusion, but did not find anything unusual. She muttered to herself, "No one is looking at me here, why do I always feel like someone is staring at me? Am I too sensitive? Is it because I have been in a coma for a few days that I am more sensitive?"

Liu Yanyan collected her thoughts and ate slowly. After finishing her bird's nest, she looked up and said, "Your Majesty, should we go to the palace? Otherwise, what if the emperor gets angry?"

Zhou Yanze hid his smile and said, "Okay, let's go."

Liu Yanyan walked out, and her hand naturally rested on Yuzhu's hand. The large and warm touch of her hand scared her so much that she withdrew her hand, only to find that her hand was tightly held by Zhou Yanze. "Let go, Yuzhu, just hold me. It's not good for others to see you like this, Yuzhu..."

Yuzhu stood aside, lowered her head and chuckled.

Zhou Yanze's eyes were full of love, and his face was calm. "I'm supporting my own princess. What's wrong with that? I'm not even as good as a little maid. Don't worry, princess. I won't let you fall."

Liu Yanyan was about to argue, but when she saw Zhou Yanze's indifferent expression, she was in a trance. She didn't take back her hand, but let him lead her out. She only came to her senses after helping her get on the carriage, and said embarrassedly, "Your Highness, you can let go now. We are already on the carriage."

Zhou Yanze then let go, a trace of pity flashed across his eyes, "Yanyan, sit still, lean on the pillow if you feel tired."

Liu Yanyan blushed and always felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was awkward, and her eyes were always wandering outside the carriage.

Zhou Yanze kept looking at her intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes revealing deep love.

Palace entrance

When Liu Yanyan saw the carriage of the Duke's Mansion, she was so excited that she couldn't help shouting, "Stop, stop, stop quickly, I want to get off."

Liu Yanyan was about to get out of the car before Zhou Yanze could react. Zhou Yanze nervously supported her and said, "Slow down, slow down. What's wrong? Why are you so anxious? What if you fall down?"

After Liu Yanyan got off the carriage, she ran over and almost fell down. Her father held her up and said, "Why are you so careless? You just woke up. What if you fall down?"

Liu Yanyan looked at her father who had become so haggard in just a few days, her eyes filled with tears, "Daddy, Nannan is fine, she's awake, don't worry, she's fine, she misses you."

Duke Liu couldn't help but shed tears, "Don't cry, Nannan, Daddy is fine, as long as Nannan wakes up."

Duke Liu saw the Regent next to him and let go of Nannan. He wanted to bow, but Zhou Yanze stopped him and said, "You don't have to bow. How can you bow as a father-in-law? Hurry up."

After Duke Liu saluted, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it's not like that. First they are the monarch and his subject, then they are the father-in-law and the son-in-law."

Liu Yanyan was filled with distress and pulled her father, "Daddy, I feel bad when you do this."

Duke Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Nannan, you have to get used to it. Just wake up and live a good life with the prince. Daddy will support you." If Nannan hadn't been in a coma, I could protect her all her life. Alas, fate is so cruel.

Liu Yanyan raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at her father and said, "Daddy, don't worry, Nannan will be fine."

Duke Liu smiled bitterly, "That's good, that's good."

Zhou Yanze also spoke up rarely, "Don't worry, father-in-law. Since I married Yanyan, I won't let her suffer any grievances."

Duke Liu was relieved. "Okay, you guys live well."

The eunuch Xiao He next to him then spoke up, "Your Majesty, we need to thank His Majesty today, it's getting late now."

Liu Yanyan then reluctantly said, "Dad, please go back and have a good rest. I will go back to see you tomorrow."

Zhou Yanze also said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, I will protect Yanyan." After that, he took Yanyan and walked towards the palace.

Liu Yanyan was pulled into the palace. She couldn't help but look back. Seeing her father still standing there, she felt so sad in her heart that she almost cried several times, but she held it back.

Zhou Yanze's eyes were full of heartache, and he spoke coldly to comfort her, "Don't cry, you miss home, you can go back anytime, there's no need to be so sad."

Liu Yanyan looked up in disbelief. "Really? I can go home anytime?"

"OK."

Only then did Liu Yanyan calm down and walk beside Zhou Yanze.

Hall of Qinzheng

Liu Yanyan and the Regent stood outside the palace. They walked inside only after hearing the message from Eunuch Li.

Liu Yanyan knelt beside the Regent and kowtowed, "The Regent and the Princess pay their respects to the Emperor."

Emperor Hongda smiled faintly and looked up and said, "No need to be polite, stand up." He watched the two people stand up, then put down the imperial pen, walked down and said, "My uncle is finally married, it's really rare."

Regent Zhou Yanze said, "Isn't this just a coincidence? We can't let the princess remain unconscious. After all, she fell into a coma because she saved the princess."

Emperor Hongda looked at Liu Yanyan with a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "It's a good thing that the princess has woken up. The calculations made by that expert were too accurate. I have to go and take a look."

Liu Yanyan's eyes were full of confusion. She didn't know either. She had never thought of becoming a regent princess.

Regent Zhou Yanze calmly stopped Yanyan and said, "My princess just woke up last night and is still slow to react. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongda then retracted his gaze. "That's good. The Regent Princess should take good care of her health." The secret guard did not report this matter of the Regent Princess. Is this really a coincidence? No, it must not be a coincidence.

At this time, Eunuch Li brought a one-foot-long jade ruyi and said, "Your Majesty, I have brought the jade ruyi you asked me to prepare."

Emperor Hongda then calmed down and said, "Uncle, this is my wedding gift to you, please accept it."

Liu Yanyan followed Zhou Yanze and knelt down, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

"Get up, uncle is still too polite."

Liu Yanyan stood up and stood beside Zhou Yanze, silently saying nothing. She always felt that the atmosphere was not very harmonious.

Zhou Yanze's eyes were complicated, and he said calmly, "Your Majesty, you are busy with official duties, so we won't disturb you now. I will take the princess back to the palace first."

Emperor Hongda smiled and nodded, saying, "The princess has just recovered from a serious illness, so she needs to rest well. You can go back. Eunuch Li will see you off, the Regent and his wife."

Eunuch Li escorted the two out of the Qinzheng Palace before saying, "Farewell, Prince Regent and Princess Regent."

Zhou Yanze waved his hand nonchalantly and took Liu Yanyan away.

Liu Yanyan followed Zhou Yanze and walked on the way out of the palace. She relaxed a little and wanted to say something several times but stopped herself from speaking.

Zhou Yanze held Yanyan's hand and said, "Go back home. Don't be nervous. You don't have to go to the palace on weekdays. You only need to go to the palace to pay respect to the queen during important festivals."

Liu Yanyan lowered her head until she walked out of the palace and got on the carriage, then she whispered, "Your Majesty, you and the Emperor..."

Zhou Yanze smiled faintly, "It's better if you don't know."
