Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Liu Yanyan took a bath and was helped out of the bathtub by Yuzhu and Yuzhen. She wiped the water droplets on her body with silk, then put on a light blue dress, walked out, sat on a chair, and let Yuzhu dry her hair bit by bit and tied it into a loose bun.

Liu Yanyan raised her hand and put a white jade hairpin on her bun. Under the soft warm light, she looked extremely beautiful. She turned her head to look at Yuzhu and asked, "Has the prince come back? Has housekeeper Zhou reported back? Do we need to wait for the prince to eat?"

Yuzhu carefully tidied the princess's clothes and said, "Princess, the prince is back and is waiting on the stone bench outside. I will go and invite him right away." After saying that, she was about to go out.

Liu Yanyan looked up lazily and said, "Yuzhu, you don't have to go. Yuzhen can just go and ask the prince to come in. It's too hot outside. I won't go out. I'll be sweating again in a while."

Yuzhen bowed and replied respectfully, "Okay, Princess. I will go and invite the prince to come in for dinner."

Liu Yanyan watched Yuzhen leave, and then was supported by Yuzhu to sit on the soft couch next to the ice cube, feeling the coolness brought by the ice cube. A comfortable look appeared on her face. It was not until she saw Yuzhen bringing the prince into the room that she lazily stood up and saluted, "Your concubine, pays respects to the prince."

Zhou Yanze smelled a faint fragrance, his ears turned red, and he quickly helped Yanyan up and said, "Yanyan, there's no need to do this, no need to perform formalities. We are husband and wife, and you are my princess, so you don't have to worry about these etiquettes."

Liu Yanyan then stood up, looked up at Zhou Yanze and said, "Your Highness is joking, but etiquette cannot be abolished."

Zhou Yanze stared at Yanyan with love in his eyes and said, "Yanyan, there's no need to be polite in the future. There's no need to be particular about this between us. We are husband and wife." After that, he supported Yanyan and walked to the table.

Liu Yanyan was a little uneasy when he supported her. When she sat on the chair beside the dining table, she came to her senses and whispered, "Your Highness, can you let me go? They are all watching us!"

Zhou Yanze looked at the maids serving beside him and happily withdrew his hand, "Yanyan, look at these dishes. I asked the kitchen to prepare them for you this morning. There are blood swallows, sweet and sour carp, braised chicken, fish maw and pork belly soup, boiled fish, etc. They are all what you like."

Liu Yanyan looked at the table of more than 20 dishes with complicated eyes. She sighed at the waste and said calmly, "Thank you, Your Majesty. You don't have to do this. There are too many dishes. The chefs in the small kitchen all know my taste. There is no need to prepare so many."

Zhou Yanze's eyes moved slightly when he heard that, and he said softly, "Yanyan, eat more. You've just woken up for a few days, so you need to nourish your body well. Don't be too harsh on yourself." After that, he picked up a piece of sweet and sour carp with chopsticks, put it in the bowl, and handed it to Yanyan.

Liu Yanyan reluctantly took the bowl, picked up the jade chopsticks, and ate in small bites, "Prince, you should eat more too. By the way, when I returned home today, I saw Sister Li waiting for you at the gate. Did you see me, Prince?"

Zhou Yanze heard this and said coldly, "Yes, I saw her. I have sent her back to Liuyan Pavilion. I don't know what she was thinking. She dressed up so gorgeously and stood at the gate of the mansion. She didn't feel ashamed. People outside didn't know and thought that I was a bad person who invited people of questionable character to come to my house."

Liu Yanyan nodded when she heard this, "That's right, Sister Li should restrain her behavior, otherwise people will laugh at the palace. Your Majesty, how is the eldest princess now? I haven't seen her since she returned to the palace, and there was no news of the princess the last time I went to the palace."

Zhou Yanze took a bite of the sweet and sour fish, put down his chopsticks, and said, "The eldest princess is much better now, but she has been poisoned for too long and can only move around in the palace. This prince consort is really causing a lot of harm to people. Damn it, it's a pity that we didn't catch him."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yanyan felt deeply sympathetic towards the eldest princess' experience and lamented that the eldest princess had met the wrong person. "Why did she choose such a prince consort? He is really too cruel. How could he have the heart to use such a chronic poison?" But didn't father say that the prince consort was already dead?

The regent took a sip of wine and said, "This prince consort is a hostage sent by a neighboring country. The emperor had no choice but to agree to their marriage because the princess liked him too much. I don't know why the princess liked that ungrateful man."

Liu Yanyan raised her hand to pour wine for the prince, "Prince, don't think too much. Drink some wine and you will forget all these things."

When Zhou Yanze heard Yanyan's caring words, his heart was warmed. "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I can drink a lot. This amount of wine is nothing. It's impossible for me to get drunk." After saying that, he drank it in one gulp.

Seeing this, Liu Yanyan was unwilling to accept it and poured wine more frequently. By the time the meal was over, Zhou Yanze had already drunk several pots of wine and looked drunk. She couldn't help but ask softly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you know who shot me and made me unconscious? Is there anyone involved?"

Zhou Yanze closed his eyes, fell on the table, and stammered with his tongue sticking out, "Prince Consort, Third Brother, you, you..." Then he fell on the table with a plop.

Liu Yanyan stared at him and saw that he hadn't finished speaking. She pushed him, but he didn't move. She shouted helplessly, "Your Highness, wake up! Your Highness, wake up! Your Highness, please finish your words!" Seeing that the prince didn't wake up, she shouted, "Yuzhu, call housekeeper Zhou. The prince is drunk. Take him back to the front yard to rest."

Yuzhu entered the room and saw the prince passed out drunk on the table. She turned around and went out to call for help.

Butler Zhou brought two servants into the room to "pay respects to the princess".

Liu Yanyan waved her hand and said, "Get up. The prince is drunk. Take him back to the front yard to sleep."

Steward Zhou looked puzzled, but nodded and said, "Okay, Princess, I'll take the prince away right away." After that, he and the servant helped the prince out of the main courtyard.

After Zhou Yanze walked out of the main courtyard, he stood up straight and said coldly, "Let me go, I can walk by myself."

Only then did Butler Zhou let go of the prince. "Prince, why aren't you drunk?"

Zhou Yanze said calmly "It's just a few pots of fruit wine, how could I get drunk, it's just Yanyan who wants me to get drunk, let's go back." Yanyan wouldn't have suspected me, otherwise how could she want to get me drunk.

I walked to the pavilion outside, sat quietly, and looked at Yanyan's yard. I felt aggrieved and couldn't help complaining, "Yanyan, how can you doubt me? I didn't do anything. I just don't want you to marry someone else."

He turned around and took the hangover soup handed to him by Butler Zhou, and drank it in one gulp with a cold face, "Butler Zhou, don't put so much coptis root in this hangover soup in the future, it's too bitter."

Butler Zhou picked up the bowl of hangover soup and handed it to the servant next to him, "Your Majesty, please have some candied fruit, and it won't be bitter anymore."

Zhou Yanze said coldly, "Butler Zhou, I'm already grown up, not a child anymore. Why should I eat candied fruit? Oh, send some candied fruit to the princess' room. The princess seems to like it very much."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will send it to the princess in a moment."
