Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Noon, Regent Palace

Liu Yanyan sat upright on a golden nanmu chair, coldly looking at Concubine Li standing next to her. She slapped the handkerchief in her hand on the table and said angrily, "Sister Li, you should set some rules today! I have been in the mansion for so long, and you have never set any rules! It is time to pick them up now, otherwise people will say that our princess has no rules."

Concubine Li looked up in surprise, covering her lips with a handkerchief, and muttered in her heart, why would the princess suddenly embarrass her? This shouldn't be the case! "Sister Princess, Concubine Li hasn't set any rules yet, why is it my turn? This isn't right! Concubine Li should be first, I'd better move back and set the rules later, besides, we are all in the mansion, so it's not necessary to set these rules."

Liu Yanyan narrowed her eyes and smiled faintly. She wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and said with gritted teeth, "It's okay. Concubine Li is still under house arrest, and it will be the same for Sister Li first. There must be rules in this mansion. These rules must be established. Without rules, there will be no order." She was so embarrassed that people would step on her, but she didn't even set any rules.

Concubine Li lowered her head in fear, not daring to refute, but her face was full of resentment.

At this time, Yuzhen brought a basin of hot water and placed it next to Concubine Li. "Please, Concubine, take off the princess' shoes and wash her feet."

Concubine Li did not answer for a long time, and her unwillingness was very obvious. Seeing that the water was about to get cold, she was unwilling to squat down and wash the princess' feet.

Yuzhu kicked Concubine Li to her knees and said coldly in her ear, "Madam Concubine, it is my duty to serve my master. You haven't forgotten it, have you? Even if I am a concubine, I am only half a wife, or a concubine, and I am also a servant! It's just that I cannot be bought or sold."

Concubine Li shuddered with fear, lowered her head and tears flowed from her eyes.

Liu Yanyan was so angry when she thought about how humiliated she was today. Since she liked doing the work of a servant so much, let her do it well. She gently raised one foot and stretched it in front of the kneeling Concubine Li.

Concubine Li's eyes were filled with reluctance and anger, her face was slightly distorted, and she said with gritted teeth, "It is my blessing to serve the princess. I will wash your feet and give you a good massage." After that, she gently took off the princess's noble pearl shoes and silk socks, put the princess's jade-like feet into a copper basin full of flower petals, and massaged the princess bit by bit with her hands.

Seeing her unwilling but helpless look, Liu Yanyan's anger finally subsided. After letting her massage for half an incense stick, she squinted her eyes and said, "You should stay out of the house less in the future. Just stay here and serve me and the prince well. Your massage skills are still good."

Concubine Li did not dare to stop, nodded and said "yes", choking with sobs, "It is my blessing to be able to serve you and the prince. I am going today just to let outsiders know that there is a concubine like me." You really treat me as a foot-washing maid! I am so angry.

Liu Yanyan frowned. "Well, it's not that I don't allow you to go out. If you really want to go out, that's fine. I will arrange for Nanny Wang to teach you some rules while teaching Concubine Li. These rules for going out are essential, so as not to embarrass the palace."

Concubine Li held the princess's feet and felt unhappy when she thought of Nanny Wang's old face. "Sister Princess, I made you unhappy. I will change. Please don't let Nanny Wang torture me. I will be good in the future and not make you angry."

Liu Yanyan looked at her helpless appearance and sighed, "Okay, stop pressing, and get off! I'll call you over to set the rules when I take a day off."

Concubine Li wiped her hands fiercely with her handkerchief, stood up and saluted, "Princess, I'm leaving."

Liu Yanyan lifted her foot, and Yuzhen knelt down and wiped it dry with silk. "Princess, this concubine is too careless. There is a red mark on her foot. She is not unwilling to do it on purpose!"

Liu Yanyan looked at the red mark the size of her little fingernail and chuckled, "It's normal for her to be unwilling, but she doesn't dare to do it."

Outside the house, the Regent looked at Yanyan's slender raised feet. Her skin was like the finest mutton-fat jade, and her nails were round like gems. He thought to himself that it would be great if he could wipe Yanyan's feet. His nose was itchy, so he raised his hand to wipe it, and saw a little blood. He didn't even enter the house, but ran away, covering his nose.

Butler Zhou followed behind him, not understanding why, "Why did the prince stand by the window for a while and then have a nosebleed? Is he not going to come into the house?"

Liu Yanyan heard footsteps outside, so she pulled Yuzhen next to her to block her and said, "Yuzhu, go and have a look. Why are there noises outside? Maybe some pervert has climbed into the yard."

Yuzhu opened the window, looked out and saw Butler Zhou running away and said, "Princess, I saw Butler Zhou running away, could it be him?"

Liu Yanyan said, "Close the window!" It must not be Butler Zhou. Why is the prince standing by the window and not coming in? Is he afraid that I will embarrass his favorite concubine? If he is afraid that I will bully Concubine Li, he should come in and support him!

Liu Yanyan looked at Yuzhu and said, "Let's go and see if the prince is with Butler Zhou."

Yuzhu nodded slightly, turned and walked out.

Liu Yanyan stood up and walked to the dressing table, sitting upright. "Yuzhen, take off the hairpins one by one for me."

Yuzhu nodded "yes" and said that his hands and feet were rough and he pulled her hair several times.

Liu Yanyan patted Yuzhen's hand helplessly and said, "Let me do it myself! And you! Why are you still so clumsy after taking so long?" After saying that, without waiting for Yuzhen to speak, she took off the hairpins on her head one by one and put them in the jewelry box.

Yuzhen was so scared that she almost cried, "Princess, I will be careful next time. Please don't look down on me."

Liu Yanyan shook her head and said, "Don't cry. I don't dislike you. Why are you crying? Learn more from Yuzhu in the future."

Yuzhen lowered her head and carefully combed the princess' hair with a comb.

Yuzhu came back and reported, "Princess, Steward Zhou is with the prince. He is still in the garden. It seems that he is heading to the concubine's courtyard."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Liu Yanyan's eyes. "As expected, he still likes Concubine Li. He is afraid that Concubine Li will be wronged by him! Fortunately, he didn't slap her directly. What does he like about Concubine Li? He likes her stupidity?" Forget it, maybe he just likes stupid people.

Yuzhu lowered her head and did not dare to speak. After all, she also felt that the prince was here to protect Concubine Li.

Liu Yanyan stood up, Yuzhu stepped forward to help the princess take off her clothes, Yuzhen stepped forward to take the clothes and walked out.

Liu Yanyan walked to the bed, and Yuzhu knelt beside her, massaging the princess. "Princess, should the force be heavier?"

Liu Yanyan said, "No, the force is just right, that's it." More than ten minutes later, Liu Yanyan fell into a deep sleep.

Yuzhu was sure that the princess was asleep, so she stood up, moved the ice cubes next to her a little further away, took the silk quilt, gently covered the princess with it, and then left the room quietly.
