Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Liu Yanyan's face flushed slightly when she was stared at. "Prince, eat more too." Why are you staring at me?

Zhou Yanze came back to his senses, retracted his gaze, drank a few sips of soup, and sighed in his heart that the soup served by Yanyan was delicious. He tasted a few bites of the side dishes and couldn't help but praise, "Yanyan, the dishes you like are really delicious."

Liu Yanyan was puzzled. Is this really the regent? Shouldn't he be cold and vicious? How could this be different? "If your Majesty likes it, use more. This is the craftsmanship of Zhuangyuanlou. These dishes are cooked by the master chef with great care." After saying that, she picked up the jade chopsticks and handed them to Zhou Yanze, picking up the beef meatballs and three fresh shreds.

Zhou Yanze's eyes were full of smiles, and his mouth never dropped during the whole meal. After the meal, he said, "Yanyan, you like the cooking skills of the chefs in Zhuangyuanlou. I will invite them directly and let them cook for you every day. You can eat whatever you want."

A trace of surprise flashed across Liu Yanyan's eyes, and she said lightly, "Your Highness, that's not necessary. Zhuangyuanlou belongs to our family. When you return to the mansion to see your father tomorrow, just bring the chef from my small kitchen with you. The chef from my small kitchen is the master chef from Zhuangyuanlou."

Zhou Yanze said in annoyance, "That's good. It's good enough for Yanyan to eat the food she likes every day."

Liu Yanyan looked up at Zhou Yanze, with a hint of defensiveness in her eyes, "Your Highness, please take care of it. You don't have to worry about the meal."

After the meal, Zhou Yanze said, "Yanyan, can I accompany you to walk around the mansion?"

Liu Yanyan looked at the hot sunshine outside, dissatisfaction flashed across her eyes, but she didn't know how to refuse.

Zhou Yanze saw that Yanyan was unwilling and felt annoyed. "Yanyan, I have something else to do. I'll go back to the front yard first and come back to see you later." After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Yanyan to speak.

Only then did Liu Yanyan relax. After all, she had just woken up and was weak. The sun was so bright that she really didn't want to go out.

Yuzhu fanned gently, and Liu Yanyan felt the heat in her body dissipate a little. She slowly relaxed and fell asleep.

After Yuzhen saw that the princess had fallen asleep, she moved the ice bucket two steps away and stood by, waiting, "Sister Yuzhu, this way the princess won't get cold, will she?"

Yuzhu wiped the sweat off her face with her handkerchief and said, "It should be, little one. The princess won't catch a cold." After saying that, she gently fanned the young lady.

When Yuzhu's hands became tired, Yuzhen took over fanning her, and the two took turns.

Yuzhu looked at the lazy maid outside, and the servant was very dissatisfied, but he didn't say much as he had just arrived. He just wrote down everything and planned to clean it up slowly later.

Afternoon

Liu Yanyan was awakened by a loud noise. She rubbed her forehead and squinted her eyes as she woke up. "Yuzhu, what's going on? Why is it so noisy? I was sleeping soundly but was woken up."

Yuzhu made a bitter face and said unhappily, "Princess, Concubine Li and Concubine Li are waiting outside the main courtyard gate! Do you want to let them in?"

When Liu Yanyan thought about dealing with all this, she felt inexplicably depressed. "Please ask them to wait outside. I'll wash up and then go see them." Didn't Zhou Yanze have concubines? What's going on with these two?

Yuzhu helped the princess up, turned to Yuzhen and said, "Let them wait first." The princess had just gotten married, and she came here to cause trouble. What a pity.

Liu Yanyan suppressed her anger, took the handkerchief handed to her by Yuzhu, and washed her face and hands.

Then he let Yuzhu help him walk out, looking at the two people waiting outside, one was noble and the other was charming. He ignored them and went straight to the main seat in the main hall, sitting upright on the golden nanmu chair, looking up at Li who was sitting there, "Who are you?"

Concubine Li then reluctantly stood up and saluted, "I am the prince's concubine Li, and the one next to me is Concubine Li." After saying this, she was about to stand up and sit down.

Liu Yanyan glanced at him calmly, feeling upset. "How come there is no news outside? When did a concubine and a mistress appear in this mansion? Yuzhen should ask the prince to come and find out. If it is true, they will also kowtow and serve tea to me when I, the princess, enter the mansion."

Concubine Li sat on the chair, feeling a little uneasy. She said, "I came here to see the princess today. People outside don't know me, but the prince protects me so well that there is no news at all." After saying this, she raised her hand calmly, revealing the bracelet inlaid with pink gemstones on her wrist.

Concubine Li stood behind Concubine Li, lowered her head and said nothing.

Liu Yanyan's eyes were complicated and she had a faint smile on her face. She tightened her grip on the teacup and said, "Sister, you're joking. It's my first day of marriage and the prince didn't tell me about the situation in the mansion. It's true, but it's difficult for me. It's so hot and you have to wait outside for so long." After she finished speaking, she raised her hand to pick up the teacup and took a sip, revealing a ruby ​​inlaid dragon and phoenix bracelet.

When Concubine Li saw this, her eyes turned red with jealousy, and she smiled, "Your Majesty, you are so kind to me."

At this time, Yuzhu came over with tea and said, "Please ask Concubine Li to give tea to the princess. Kowtow and serve tea."

Concubine Li then reluctantly stood up, took the teacup, and knelt down in front of the princess.

Liu Yanyan looked at Concubine Li's awkward posture, and her anger became even worse. "Sister Li, are you unwilling to acknowledge me as your sister? What can I do? I am the principal concubine granted by the Emperor."

Concubine Li knelt down reluctantly, raised the teacup above her head and said, "Concubine Li, I pay my respects to the princess. Please have some tea."

Liu Yanyan then took the teacup, skimmed off the floating leaves, took a sip, and put down the teacup. "Sister, please get up quickly, otherwise the prince will be heartbroken if he sees it." After saying this, she gestured to Yuzhu.

Yuzhu held a pure gold azalea hairpin and handed it to Concubine Li.

Concubine Li stood up and took the hairpin. Her face turned blue with anger and she said with difficulty, "Thank you for the gift, sister. I like this hairpin very much." Then she sat on the chair next to her.

Concubine Li then stepped forward and knelt on the ground, "Greetings to the princess."

Liu Yanyan waved her hand, and Yuzhu came over with tea. "Please ask Concubine Li to serve tea to the princess."

Concubine Li respectfully took the teacup, raised it above her head, and said softly, "Please have some tea, Princess."

Liu Yanyan then took the teacup and took a sip. "You are a good girl. Serve the prince well."

Yuzhu held up an exquisite and small pomegranate hairpin and handed it to Concubine Li.

After receiving it, Concubine Li bowed happily and said, "Thank you, Princess, for the gift. I will serve you well."

Liu Yanyan rubbed her forehead with a headache and said, "Very good, you can leave now. You don't have to come to pay respects every day. Once every 10 days will be fine. I will take a day off every 10 days."

Concubine Li showed a look of surprise on her face, "Sister, are you still going to work in the government? You are a good princess, enjoying endless wealth and glory, why do you have to get involved in this mess? And endure this trouble!?"

Liu Yanyan said, "It's not bitter, I just want to do what I want to do, you guys can leave."

Concubine Li then stood up, turned around and left.

After paying her respects, Concubine Li said, "I'll take my leave now." Then she followed Concubine Li.
