Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Liu Yanyan hid in the room, leaning on the bed and hugging the quilt, her face was flushed, her neck was red, and she raised her hand to touch her cheeks, which were hot.

Listening to the footsteps coming from far away outside the door, my heart beat faster and faster. Looking at the unlit red candle in the room, I buried my face in the quilt in shame. Fortunately, the footsteps stopped at the door.

I raised my head in confusion and heard Zhou Yanze say, "Yanyan, I'm waiting for you. Don't be afraid. I'm waiting for the day when you accept me. I, I won't force you. I think you only have me in your heart and eyes."

After he finished speaking, a series of hurried footsteps were heard, mixed with the sound of a chair falling to the ground.

Liu Yanyan was stunned, looking up at the door curtain, and after a long while she was sure that the person had gone far away, she stood up, walked to the door, gently lifted the door curtain, looked at his leaving back, and said softly, "What a fool, what a fool."

In a daze.

Yuzhu came over respectfully and said, "Princess, why is your face so red? I'll push the ice bucket over here. I've brought you some cakes. Please help yourself."

Liu Yanyan waved her hand at her red cheeks, fanned the air gently, and looked at Yuzhu with a narrowed gaze, "You are so thoughtful. No need for an ice bucket. I really didn't eat much just now. A piece of cake will be enough."

After saying that, he picked up a piece of pink lotus cake, took a bite, and the fragrance lingered in his mouth. "This cake is unique and delicious. Remember to give the chef some reward."

Seeing that the princess liked it, Yuzhu said happily, "Okay, princess, I still have more than ten purses you left with me!"

Liu Yanyan swallowed the lotus cake in her mouth and nodded gently, "Well, as long as there is some, it's fine. If there is no more, tell me and I will give you some more silver. It's in this mansion! This silver is the most important thing."

Yuzhu held the blue and white porcelain plate of cakes and followed the princess to the window. "There are more, there are more."

Liu Yanyan looked at the sky full of stars outside and said, "Yuzhu, what can you think of when you look at the sky full of stars?"

Yuzhu looked up in confusion, "Princess, these stars are just stars! What can you think of this?"

After finishing her cakes, Liu Yanyan gently wiped her white and tender fingers with a handkerchief and said, "Bai has been following me for so long, but you really haven't learned anything at all! There are so many beautiful poems, but you haven't said a single one. You can't even remember the stories you learned before."

Yuzhu lowered her head in shame, her ears reddened. "Princess, when you were reading, I was very sleepy, how could I remember all this? I dozed off every time."

Liu Yanyan didn't feel embarrassed, because she knew Yuzhu was just lazy and found it boring, so she went back to the desk and continued reading the law code she had read yesterday.

Yuzhu was waiting on the side, grinding ink for the princess. After turning the wick twice, she stood back, drowsy.

Liu Yanyan looked back and saw Yuzhu was about to fall. She stood up and supported Yuzhu, and said to Yuzhen beside her, "Yuzhen, take Yuzhu downstairs and sleep!"

Yuzhen was about to help Yuzhu walk, when Yuzhu opened her eyes dazedly and said, "I'll serve the princess. I'll do it."

Liu Yanyan said distressedly, "Yuzhu, please leave. I have Yuzhen and Yuye to serve me. You should have a good rest today."

Before Yuzhu could say something, Yuzhen helped her out of the room.

Liu Yanyan walked to the bedside and raised her hand. Yuye came forward to serve her, "Princess, I will undress you."

Liu Yanyan nodded slightly, Ren Yuye took off her official uniform, sat on the bed, and took off her official boots.

At this time, Yuzhen came over with salt water.

Liu Yanyan took the salt water from Yuzhen's hand, rinsed her mouth, and then took the hot towel handed to her by Yuye to wash her face.

Liu Yanyan waved her hand to signal the two to leave, then she lay down on the bed, hugged the quilt and fell asleep, without any dreams all night.

next day

The sky is getting brighter

Liu Yanyan had just gotten up, put on her official uniform, washed up, and prepared to go to the yamen.

When I walked to the main courtyard gate, I saw a little maid kneeling at the gate with her head lowered. I was startled and said, "Get up! You don't have to kneel to pay your respects. Kneeling in this dark place is too scary."

The little maid looked up, revealing a swollen and deformed face, and mumbled, "Princess, I greet you."

Liu Yanyan frowned and took a half step back. "Who are you? How did you get beaten like this? If there are servants who are bullying you maliciously, you can go to Butler Zhou. Butler Zhou will control them well. There is no such thing as bullying in the mansion."

The little maidservant cried out of grievance and had to act coy.

Seeing this, Liu Yanyan couldn't help but frowned, "You better say it nicely, this makes it even uglier."

The little maidservant then spoke with a pig head, "Princess, I am the concubine that the prince took in yesterday. It's He Baoer! The prince said that I must kneel here every day and wait for the princess's forgiveness before I can stand up."

Liu Yanyan looked at He Baoer, whose head was swollen like a pig, and muttered in her heart that housekeeper Zhou had not been gentle with her. "Get up. Just come and kneel for half an incense stick every day for the next month. You don't have to wait for me to call you up." I don't want to see your face. It's scary.

He Baoer stood up and bowed softly, then stepped aside and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your understanding."

Liu Yanyan put her hand on Yuzhu's and walked out. "Send her away early next time. She looks so scary. How come her face hasn't gotten any better from the beating she received yesterday?"

Yuzhu supported the princess and said, "Princess, this is the prince's order. Don't give her the medicine. Let her learn a good lesson."

Liu Yanyan nodded. "She acted on her own yesterday, so the prince should punish her. But it's just that a beautiful woman has become like this. I'm afraid she won't recover in ten days or half a month."

Yuzhu supported the princess and walked over the threshold. "Princess, this is the prince's punishment. She is so unruly, she deserves to be punished."

Liu Yanyan nodded gently, "Okay, go back and take good care of my main courtyard. Don't let anyone take advantage of you. Don't make trouble with Nanny Wang easily. Wait until I come back. She is the prince's wet nurse, you should respect her according to common sense."

Yuzhu nodded and said, "Princess, don't worry. I won't make trouble with Nanny Wang. I can see clearly about this matter."

Liu Yanyan then stepped onto the carriage and said, "Then it's easy to go back."

Just as I was about to lower the curtain, Yuzhen handed me a food box.

He took the food box, waved to the two maids, and then ordered, "Let's go, it will be late to go to the government office later."

Only then did Liu Wu wave his whip and hurried to the yamen.

Yuzhu and Yuzhen looked at the direction the carriage left and couldn't help saying, "Sister Yuzhu, if only I were a man, I could protect the princess and follow her to the government office."

Yuzhu also looked at the guards riding tall horses behind the carriage with envy, "With our bodies, how can we protect the princess? It's better for us to stay in the palace and manage the main courtyard for the princess!"

Yuzhen looked at her small arms and legs and nodded helplessly, "Sister Yuzhu is right."

Yuzhu looked at Yuzhen and pulled her back.
