Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Zhou Yanze said helplessly, "Okay, I won't send it. I knew you didn't want to. I just kept holding back and didn't ask Butler Zhou to send the ice bucket." Then he took out a perfect Dongzhu necklace from behind and put it on Yanyan's neck. "Yanyan, you are so beautiful. Only the best can match you."

Liu Yanyan touched the extra necklace on her neck, picked up the huge pearl necklace, lowered her head to look at the beautiful necklace in her hand, raised her eyes to look at him and said, "Yan Ze, what kind of pearl is this! This pearl is big, round and shiny? It's really top-notch! I haven't seen such a good quality pearl at home."

Zhou Yanze looked at Yanyan's surprised expression and couldn't help but lean close to her ear and said, "Yanyan, of course the Duke's Mansion doesn't have it. This is an oriental pearl necklace. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's one in a million. I hope you like it."

Liu Yanyan looked at the necklace in her hand in surprise. She was not happy, but worried. "Yan Ze, this is not good! You should put it away quickly. This is for the queen to wear. It's not good for me to wear it! I can't wear this. If people see it, what if the emperor is unhappy? It will easily bring trouble to the Regent's Palace."

Zhou Yanze said with a smile, "Yanyan, you underestimate your husband. The emperor won't mind a pearl necklace. It looks really good on Yanyan, just wear it."

Liu Yanyan looked at the Dongzhu necklace, still worried in her heart. Looking at the joy in his eyes, she finally said nothing more, "Thank you Yanze, I like it very much, but you don't have to go to so much trouble to find such a precious thing for me in the future." This thing is too valuable and it's an overstepping of one's authority.

Zhou Yanze smiled and said, "These precious things are only worthy of Yanyan. Yanyan deserves the best."

At this time, Yuzhu brought a few maids, brought the food, arranged it one by one, scooped out the soup and placed it next to the princess.

Liu Yanyan picked up the soup spoon, looked at Zhou Yanze and said, "Let's eat! Your Majesty, please try it too. This side dish is quite appetizing."

Yuzhu hurriedly put some crisp and refreshing side dishes into the prince's bowl.

Zhou Yanze smiled and said, "Thank you, Yanyan, you are worried about me. Yanyan, you should eat more to replenish your body."

Liu Yanyan's face was slightly hot, and she ate faster. Zhou Yanze didn't move his chopsticks at all, and stared at Yanyan the whole time. It was not until Yanyan finished her meal that he spoke, "Yanyan, you should take good care of yourself. I'll go back to the front yard first. You should have a good rest. I'll come to accompany you tomorrow."

Liu Yanyan then stood up and saluted, "Your Highness, I respectfully send you off."

Zhou Yanze helped Yanyan to stand up, with a look of deep affection in his eyes. He wiped the sweat off Yanyan's forehead with a handkerchief and said softly, "Yanyan, there's no need to be polite. You are my wife, and we are one."

Liu Yanyan turned her head and said, "Your Majesty, this is against the rules. I cannot do this."

"Calling you Yan Ze is too distant from calling you Prince! Yan Yan should get used to my existence."

Liu Yanyan nodded gently and said, "Okay, Yanze, you go and do your work first! I will have a good rest, you don't have to worry about me."

Seeing that Yanyan had no intention of keeping him, Zhou Yanze said, "Okay, I'll come to accompany you tomorrow." After that, he turned around and left with Butler Zhou.

Liu Yanyan watched Zhou Yanze leave, then gently took off the Dongzhu necklace from her neck, walked to the dressing table, took out a golden nanmu box, and put the necklace in it.

Yuzhu asked in confusion, "Princess, why aren't you wearing it? This necklace is so beautiful, it's obviously top-notch."

Liu Yanyan chuckled, "No, there's no need to wear so many jewels at this late hour. Yuzhu, help me take off the hair ornaments on my head."

Yuzhu then took off the hairpins from the princess's head one by one. Yuzhen then walked over angrily and said, "Greetings to the princess."

Liu Yanyan saw Yuzhen's puffy face in the bronze mirror and said jokingly, "Who messed with our Yuzhen! She is a famous maid in the mansion! Who dares to offend you!"

Yuzhen pouted and said, "Princess, I just passed by the rockery and saw the prince and housekeeper Zhou going to Concubine Li's courtyard."

Liu Yanyan put down the comb in her hand and said, "Okay, okay, my Yuzhen, I'm not angry at all! You are the one who is angry, don't be angry."

Yuzhen said unwillingly, "Princess, I feel sorry for you! You don't care about it. The prince doesn't stay in the main courtyard. Aren't you worried? What if she gets pregnant first? There is no place for you in this palace!"

Liu Yanyan picked up the comb again, gently combed the ends of her hair and said, "I'm not well yet, so it's useless for Your Majesty to stay overnight. Even if you feel better, I won't be angry. Yuzhen, don't be angry." After saying that, she ignored Yuzhen and didn't notice the unwillingness in Yuzhen's eyes.

Yuzhu said, "That's right, don't worry about it, Princess. Don't be angry, Yuzhen, go get the princess's embroidered shoes and change into a pair of shoes. Princess' feet will be more comfortable."

Yuzhen lowered her head and walked out. Soon she came back holding a pair of pearl embroidered shoes.

Liu Yanyan raised her feet and let Yuzhen kneel down to take off her socks. She washed them with flower petal water and put on clean embroidered shoes. She said, "Yuzhen, do you have a boy you like? Tell me and I will make the decision for you. I will never let you suffer any grievances. It is best for you to live a peaceful and stable life."

Yuzhen lowered her head, hiding her reluctance and said, "How could I possibly have a favorite man? I want to serve the princess for the rest of my life. Please don't chase me away. I will serve you well."

Liu Yanyan looked at the humble Yuzhen and did not embarrass her. After putting on her shoes, she felt the softness on her feet, stood up gently and said, "Okay, when you meet a boy you like, tell me."

Yuzhen then said, "Thank you for your grace, Princess." Then she left with the shoes in her hands.

Yuzhu supported the princess, walked to the bedside and said, "Princess, why don't you punish her! She clearly has some ideas."

Liu Yanyan looked up at Yuzhu, feeling her sensitivity, and said, "Yuzhen was originally a dowry maid. I was unwell, so I should have been arranged to be the prince's maid, but I didn't want to. I always didn't want to. It's normal for a little maid to climb into the bed, so it's normal for her to have some thoughts. You should keep a closer eye on her in the future and don't let her cause trouble. If it doesn't work, send her away."

Yuzhu brought the lotus seed soup and said, "Okay, princess. I will take good care of Yuzhen. Don't worry."

Liu Yanyan took the lotus seed soup, ate it in small bites, looked at Yuzhu and said, "You can leave! I'll have a good rest."

Only then did Yuzhu retreat respectfully.

Liu Yanyan watched Yuzhu retreat, then slowly stood up and walked to the window. Looking at the sparse stars outside, she couldn't help but wonder, what was the matter with Zhou Yanze going to see Concubine Li so late at night? Could it be what she thought? She couldn't help but think wildly in her heart, feeling confused.

I went to the table and drank a bowl of tea, then returned to bed and hugged the quilt. I thought I would toss and turn all night, but I fell asleep as soon as I leaned on the pillow.
