Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Third Prince's Mansion

Liu Yanyan was helped down from the carriage by Yuzhu. Seeing Yanze and Concubine Li standing together, she felt aggrieved. But thinking that this was the Third Prince's residence, she endured it and walked to Yanze's side, "Yanze, let's go in!"

Zhou Yanze looked at Yanyan tenderly, but his words were a little stiff, "Princess, you should still address me as Prince in public."

Seeing his serious and cold face, Liu Yanyan restrained her emotions and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty, it was my negligence."

There was a flash of heartache in Zhou Yanze's eyes, and he said, "This won't happen again. Let's go back to the mansion first." Then he walked towards the Third Prince's mansion. Liu Yanyan stood beside Yanze, and Concubine Li lagged behind half a step.

Yuzhu and several guards followed behind.

The third prince came forward with his men to greet them, "Uncle, why didn't you tell me you were coming so I could go out and pick you up!"

Zhou Yanze said coldly, "No need."

The Third Prince rubbed his hands happily, "Uncle, please come in. It's just a family dinner, we didn't invite too many people."

The Third Prince paused, looked at Concubine Li who was wearing a black gilded dress and said, "This is my aunt, I'll let my wife accompany you later."

Concubine Li's eyes were full of pride, so she spoke with difficulty, "Third Prince, you're wrong. The one next to you is the princess's sister. I'm just a concubine, but the prince loves me." After saying this, her hand deliberately brushed across the pearl earrings on her ears.

Liu Yanyan was very upset, but her face was calm. She looked at the Third Prince and said, "I am the princess of the prince. Third Prince, we haven't seen each other for a long time. It's not uncommon for you to forget things."

The Third Prince then turned around, looked at the Princess and said apologetically, "Aunt, please forgive me. I will let my wife accompany you later. I was not able to see it just now because of my poor eyesight."

Zhou Yanze completely ignored all of this and walked straight in. Liu Yanyan could only laugh dryly and followed him in, staring with her eyes wide open, almost bursting with anger.

He glared at Zhou Yanze unwillingly for a few more times, and only then did he feel better.

When they reached the garden, a shrill voice rang out, "Prince Regent, Princess Regent, and the Prince Regent's concubine are here."

"Your servant, I pay my respects to the prince, princess, and concubine."

Zhou Yanze waved and walked inside. Liu Yanyan followed beside him and said, "Stand up."

Zhou Yanze sat at the upper seat prepared by the third prince, Liu Yanyan walked to Yanze's right and sat down, while Concubine Li sat on the left unwillingly.

Liu Yanyan looked up and saw several princes sitting opposite her. When she saw the Fifth Prince, a deep hatred flashed across her eyes, but her face was calm.

The prince opposite raised his glass to signal, Liu Yanyan picked up the glass, put it to her lips, covered it with a handkerchief, and pretended to take a sip.

Concubine Li wanted to get close to the prince, so she leaned towards him.

Zhou Yanze moved closer to Yanyan with a little disdain.

Seeing his little action, Liu Yanyan's anger subsided a little. "Your Majesty, I will pour you a cup of tea. It's hot and you can quench your thirst with a cup of tea."

Zhou Yanze's throat rolled, and he said coldly, "No need, Princess, just take care of yourself."

A hint of understanding flashed in Liu Yanyan's eyes. She nodded slightly, picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Yuzhu to test the poison.

Yuzhu whispered softly, "Princess, no problem."

Liu Yanyan then took it and ate slowly.

When Concubine Li saw the princess looking so leisurely, she was so angry that her teeth were itching. She didn't believe that the princess was not jealous, so she picked up the jade chopsticks, picked up a piece of taro cake for the prince, and handed it to his mouth.

Liu Yanyan looked up and saw Zhou Yanze with a cold face. He used Concubine Li's chopsticks to eat the taro pastry bite by bite. He was so angry that he almost crushed the pastry in his hand. He ate the pastry in his hand in one bite and no longer paid attention to what Concubine Li fed him.

When Concubine Li saw that the princess was angry, she finally smiled contentedly.

Liu Yanyan glared at Concubine Li and then looked away, but she could still hear some intermittent sounds in her ears.

"Look! How good the prince is to his concubine! They are so loving and affectionate!"

"That's right! The princess has been left out. So pitiful!"

"Ah! Is she pitiful? No! I heard that the princess is an official, so naturally she doesn't have the time to stick to the prince like a concubine."

"What's the point of being an official? You can't even capture a man's heart."

"How can it be useless? Being an official is so good! You can go wherever you want, and you don't have to stay at home to take care of your husband and children."

"Wake up! You don't want to be an official! Look at how many people can pass the exam."

"That's right! It's better to be like a concubine and capture a man's heart."

"No, I just want to try it. How can I know it won't work if I don't try it once?"

Liu Yanyan looked up and saw a few little girls chatting in the distance. The one who just said that she wanted to take the imperial examination was very cute in a green dress, with a chubby little face. When she smiled, she looked a bit like the Third Prince's Consort. She thought that there was someone with ambition in the Third Prince's Consort's family.

Zhou Yanze was being harassed by Concubine Li and wanted to chat with Yanyan, but when he saw her looking away, he turned his head angrily and picked up a piece of chicken for Concubine Li and put it in her bowl.

Concubine Li was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, my Lord. You are always the best to me.

Zhou Yanze ignored her coldly, but his action made the princes opposite him shift their gazes to her.

Concubine Li, with a shy look on her face, served food to Zhou Yanze. He had a cold face, but at least he finished eating.

This made the princes on the opposite side even more certain that Concubine Li held a different status in the Regent's heart.

Hearing Zhou Yanze coughing, Liu Yanyan turned around and saw Concubine Li picking up roast duck for him, so she withdrew her gaze.

Zhou Yanze glanced at Yanyan with resentment. Seeing that she ignored him, he didn't dare to say anything. He just glared at the little bastards opposite him.

At this time, the Third Prince's wife, dressed in a yellow wedding dress, walked slowly over with a big smile on her face. "Today is my birthday. Please come to my house for a gathering." She motioned the nurse to bring the child up, and said happily, "This is the first child in our house. Zhou Bingkun is being brought to my side today to raise. He is registered under my name and will be my legitimate son in the future."

The third prince also looked at his wife tenderly, "Today is a good day for double happiness."

Zhou Yanze said coldly: "Congratulations, you have a legitimate son."

Liu Yanyan also said, "Congratulations."

The fifth prince gritted his teeth and congratulated, "Third brother, congratulations."

The eldest prince and the second prince said sincerely, "Congratulations, third brother. You will have a legitimate son in the future. This is cause for celebration."

The Third Prince's wife held the child in her arms, with a big smile on her face, "Bingkun is a blessed child. He will definitely have a great future."

The third prince smiled and said, "For a family like ours, it's hard for him to fail. Take the child back! He will make trouble for you soon."

The Third Prince's wife then walked out with the child in her arms, and handed the child to the wet nurse beside her, with disgust evident on her face.
