Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

After Liu Yanyan finished her bath, Ren Yuzhu helped her out of the bathtub, revealing her long neck and slender arms. Her hair was spread out behind her, dropping drops of water onto the wooden board.

Yuzhen took out a towel and gently wiped the water droplets off her skin.

Yanyan put on the light pink dress prepared by Yuzhu, and a pleated skirt of the same color embroidered with small yellow flowers. She lay on the low couch, revealing her slender neck, and let Yuzhu wipe the water droplets off her hair.

After my hair was completely dry, I let it fall behind me, lazily not wanting to move.

After a long while, Yuzhu finally said, "Princess, it's time to eat. It's getting dark."

Then he lazily stretched out his hand, Ren Yuzhu helped him stand up, and put on the shoes embroidered with small flowers. "Where did the prince go today? He didn't come today."

"Your Highness, I went to Concubine Li's courtyard today and gave her a few pieces of brocade from the south. Concubine Li was very happy! Everyone in the palace knew about it in the afternoon."

Liu Yanyan gently opened her eyes and yawned. "Oh, really? It's nothing. I don't care about a few pieces of brocade. You are so petty. You are so happy about a few pieces of brocade. You have never seen good things." Consider this as a reward for her to ward off disaster for me.

Yuzhu took the jade skin ointment and gave it to the princess little by little, applying it on her skin. "Princess, you are really open-minded. You don't care about this. People outside are saying that you have fallen out of favor. She is the apple of the prince's eye. You really don't care at all."

Liu Yanyan looked at Yuzhu's pouting mouth and said with a smile, "You care about everything. I don't know if I can live! I will die early if I am not angry every day. I want to live a few more years."

After Liu Yanyan stood up, Yuzhu brought a pink ribbon and gently tied the princess' hair, leaving two flowing ribbons that fluttered in the wind. "Princess, you can't talk nonsense."

Liu Yanyan said, "You are the only one who cares about these things. I won't say anything about them in the future, okay?" As she walked to the table to prepare for dinner.

Butler Zhou came over with his men, "Your servant greets the princess."

Liu Yanyan chuckled, "Get up! Why did you bring so many maids here?"

Butler Zhou said with a flattering look on his face, "Didn't Concubine Li break your antique teacup from the previous dynasty this morning? The prince feels very guilty, and in order to make up for the harm he has done to you, he specially sent you this compensation. I hope the princess will accept it."

Liu Yanyan looked at Yuzhen beside her in confusion. Seeing Yuzhen nod, she understood and said, "They are just some worthless little things. How can the prince spend money on them? They are just small things. It's not worth letting Butler Zhou make a trip."

Butler Zhou said respectfully, "The prince said that you can't spend money. These are your dowry. You can throw them away if you are unhappy. Without a husband, it is reasonable to use the wife's dowry, and a concubine is even more forbidden to use it."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yanyan curled the corners of her mouth slightly and stopped persuading people to "bring it up and let us see."

Then I heard Butler Zhou start to read "A box of East China Sea pearls."

The maid held the tray and walked over to the princess and knelt down. Liu Yanyan saw that each pearl was round and shiny, and they were all Dongzhu pearls, and nodded calmly.

Yuzhen and Yuzhu were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. "Wow, Princess, there are so many pearls. This seems to be..."

Liu Yanyan covered Yuzhu's mouth and said, "Yeah, it's just a pearl, just a little bigger, very beautiful."

Yuzhu then nodded, covered her mouth, and swallowed the word "Dongzhu".

Seeing that the princess was satisfied, Butler Zhou continued, "A box of rubies from overseas Persia."

The maid carried the tray and walked over to the princess and knelt down. Liu Yanyan saw that the ruby ​​was the size of a pigeon egg, with a bright color and very high clarity, so she smiled and nodded.

Yuzhu, Yuzhen covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming, but the surprise in her eyes was beyond words.

Seeing the two maids like this, Liu Yanyan coughed twice to remind them.

The two of them then restrained their expressions, but the excitement in their eyes could still be seen at a glance.

Seeing this, Butler Zhou chuckled and continued to recite, "A white jade Guanyin, a deep-sea blood coral, two thousand-year-old ginsengs, a thousand-year-old Tianshan snow lotus, a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix screen..."

Liu Yanyan looked at the compensation, each of which was of top quality, and nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness. In fact, there is no need to spend so much money. Each of these things is rare."

Butler Zhou smiled and said, "It's all my duty. I won't disturb you from eating. I'll take my leave now."

Liu Yanyan nodded gently. After seeing Butler Zhou walk out, she picked up the Dongzhu and played with it in her hand. She thought that he was thoughtful and would not let me suffer a loss. "Yuzhu, Yuzhen, count these and put them into the warehouse carefully. They are all treasures! It's rare to see them. Be careful not to bump them."

Yuzhu's hands were shaking with excitement, and after a long while she spoke, "Yes, Princess, I will go right away."

Liu Yanyan ate slowly and leisurely. Seeing these rare treasures, her appetite improved a lot and she ate an extra bowl of rice.

In the garden

Concubine Li was in the pavilion with the maids in the courtyard, enjoying the moon and the cool air. When she saw Butler Zhou coming out with a group of people, she understood that the princess must have received another reward. With so many maids, it seemed that the reward was quite a lot.

After Butler Zhou walked away, he was so angry that he smashed the plates on the table and swept everything on the table to the ground. "Damn it, damn it, why, why, she has everything, why."

Seeing this, several maids nearby knelt down with a plop, their knees bleeding. "Master, please spare me, Master, please spare me."

Concubine Li, who was passing by the garden gate, saw that Concubine Li was getting angry, so she retracted her head and tried to sneak away.

Concubine Li immediately shouted, "Sister Li, where are you going? How come you don't even know to greet me when you see me, your concubine? Let's catch up!"

Concubine Li had no choice but to walk towards the pavilion and said, "I pay my respects to Sister Li."

Concubine Li said slowly, "Sister Li, tell me why you are hanging out here before your confinement time is up. This is breaking the rules."

Concubine Li's face turned pale, and she subconsciously protected her belly. "I just caught a cold, so I came out to get some fresh air. Please, sister Li, don't blame me."

Concubine Li looked at Concubine Li's belly with jealousy, her eyes were about to burst into flames, but she suppressed her anger and said softly, "Sister Li, there is no order without rules. As your elder sister, I have to teach you. So when you go back, write a Diamond Sutra every day. When you come out of house arrest, I will read it."

Concubine Li looked up in surprise. She had not expected that she would let her go like this. She bowed hastily and said, "Thank you for your forgiveness, sister. I will go back to my courtyard now and will not come back until the time of confinement."

When Concubine Li saw Concubine Li leave, her face flushed with anger, "Taohua, did you tell Yuzhu what I said?"

Taohua bowed respectfully and said, "I will tell the main courtyard Yuzhu at noon today that the princess should know that Concubine Li is pregnant."

Concubine Li raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, "Liu Yanyan, let's see what you can do. I will just sit back and wait and see. You two will fight to the death and the net will be broken, and I will reap the benefits."
