Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Early next morning

The sunlight shines through the window lattice and into the house, making the whole house look warm.

Liu Yanyan was bathed in the sun, with a layer of warm light all over her body. She blocked the light with her hands and gently stood up. She pulled open the bed curtain and heard Yuzhu say, "Princess, the prince left the palace today with his concubine and Li Shiqi."

Liu Yanyan raised her hand to block the light and nodded gently, "Don't pay attention to them. Bring me a simple dress."

Yuzhen stepped back respectfully and brought out a cherry-red dress and a pleated skirt of the same color, the hem of which was embroidered with gorgeous pomegranate flowers.

Liu Yanyan let Yuzhu help her get up and put on her dress and embroidered shoes of the same color. "Why did you choose such a red color? It's too conspicuous."

Yuzhu, Yuzhen lowered her head, and Yuzhu said, "You are the princess, so you can't let the beautiful girls in the mansion overshadow you and make the servants unable to distinguish between the primary and the secondary."

Liu Yanyan yawned, walked to the dressing table, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and said calmly, "You all know that I am the princess. Even if they dress up fancy, I am still the princess! They have to behave like concubines in front of me. You don't have to care about these. By the way, where did the prince take them today? Why did they leave the house so early?"

Yuzhu lowered her head and said, "Today is the Fifth Prince's mother's day. Concubine Lan is holding a banquet in the palace. The prince took them to buy clothes early in the morning. He might be afraid that Concubine Li will be embarrassed like last time."

Liu Yanyan raised her eyes and looked at herself in the bronze mirror, dressed like a newlywed, and said, "This won't do. Get a new set of clothes, maybe light yellow! This red isn't suitable." The imperial concubine is not allowed to wear red in her entire life, so if she wears red, wouldn't that be deliberately attracting attention?

Yuzhu then stood up and went to the closet to get a complicated and multi-layered dress. "Princess, how about this one? It has light yellow peony flowers on it."

Seeing that the color was right, Liu Yanyan nodded gently, "Let's go with this one! The color is suitable, and not too simple." She stood up and changed into the light yellow dress, feeling annoyed in her heart, "I don't know why Concubine Lan held a banquet! A good rest day is wasted."

Liu Yanyan sat down in front of the dressing table again and let Yuzhu put a peony bun on her head. "Yuzhu, try not to choose a hairpin that is too big, otherwise it will hurt your neck. We don't know how long this party will last!"

Yuzhu nodded, picked up the six-tailed phoenix hairpin on the table and put it on the princess, and then put on two pearl flower hairpins.

Liu Yanyan only felt her head sink and sighed softly, "Yuzhu, choose something lighter! It's too heavy."

Yuzhu looked at her bun, which seemed empty, and said helplessly, "Princess, all the famous mistresses of the high-ranking families in the capital are going to go today!"

Liu Yanyan sighed helplessly, "What does it have to do with me if they go? They all have to salute me! Choose something simple, otherwise my neck can't bear it."

Yuzhu had no choice but to put down the pure gold hairpin that she had originally intended to give to the princess. She selected a few gold filigree hairpins inlaid with gemstones and put them on the princess. She then put a kingfisher necklace around the princess' neck.

Liu Yanyan looked at herself in the bronze mirror and nodded gently. "That's fine. It's so painful to wear so many clothes! By the way, remember to bring me a spare set of clothes when you go to the palace. Also, under what name did the imperial concubine hold the banquet? Where is the invitation? Why didn't I see it?"

Yuzhu whispered, "The Imperial Concubine is holding a banquet in the name of flower viewing in order to select a concubine for the Fifth Prince. The invitation was sent early in the morning. You didn't pay attention to it a few days ago. It was only when the Prince sent someone to remind you yesterday that I remembered it."

Liu Yanyan smiled and nodded, "Okay, fine. It's a good time to take a day off, so it's not bad not to go!"

After getting dressed and preparing to have dinner, Zhou Yanze came over with Concubine Li, who was wearing a light pink dress and delicate makeup, and Concubine Li, who was wearing a light green dress and no makeup.

Liu Yanyan slowly stood up and said, "I pay my respects to the prince."

Zhou Yanze helped Yanyan up and said, "Yanyan, no need to be polite. Are you ready? We are going to the palace."

Liu Yanyan nodded lightly and said, "Okay, let's go to the palace first! I'm ready here." After that, she let Yuzhu support her and walk out. Yuzhen and Yuye followed her out with the tray.

Zhou Yanze pushed Yuzhu aside and said, "Let me help Yanyan. Yuzhu is too weak. Yanyan should be careful not to fall down."

Yuzhu lowered her head in grievance and said nothing.

Liu Yanyan let Zhou Yanze support her as they walked out. Looking at the tenderness in his eyes, she felt very uncomfortable.

Concubine Li, who was dressed up in fancy clothes, was so angry that she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand.

Concubine Li twisted the handkerchief in her hand, stamped her feet in anger, and followed behind him.

Liu Yanyan was supported all the way to the Regent's Palace, and then she let go of Yan Ze's hand. Regardless of his reaction, she put her hand on Yuzhu's hand and walked towards her carriage.

Leaning on the gold-embroidered pillow on the carriage, she felt a pang of sourness in her heart when she saw Zhou Yanze carrying Concubine Li into the carriage.

Concubine Li touched her belly and said softly, "My Lord, I am pregnant and cannot walk by myself."

In the carriage in front, Zhou Yanze stretched out his slender hand and pulled Concubine Li slowly onto the carriage.

When Liu Yanyan saw this scene, she lowered the curtain directly. She didn't want to watch anymore and was too angry to speak.

Yuzhu pulled open the small table next to her, took out the food from the food box and placed it on the table one by one. "Princess, please eat a few bites, otherwise you will not eat anything at the banquet later, and who knows how long it will take!"

Liu Yanyan nodded, picked up a bowl of bird's nest, ate it in small bites, and pushed a plate of cakes to the three of them, "You should eat some too, otherwise you won't feel at ease eating at the banquet."

Yuzhu and the other two smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess, for the reward."

"Eat, this imperial concubine's banquet, who knows how long it will last!"

Liu Yanyan finished eating the bird's nest and two pieces of cakes, and then stopped eating.

Yuzhu wondered, "Princess, why don't you eat more?"

Liu Yanyan chuckled, "When the nobles in the palace hold a banquet, it's not a good idea to leave without permission. I don't know how many traps are waiting for you! You guys! It's best not to leave casually, lest you see or hear anything! And get implicated."

Yuzhu, Yuzhen and the others nodded repeatedly, "We will follow you, Princess, and we won't run around."

Liu Yanyan nodded, "That's good, in case something happens, I won't be able to protect you."

The entrance to the palace.

Liu Yanyan let Yuzhu help her get off the carriage. Just as she got off the carriage, she saw Concubine Li asking Zhou Yanze to carry her out of the carriage.

Zhou Yanze had a cold face and carried her down.

Liu Yanyan felt sour in her heart, but she still walked over and said, "Let's go, so that the imperial concubine won't have to wait."

Zhou Yanze then put Concubine Li down and walked to Yanyan's side. "Let's go!"

Yanyan nodded slightly and let Yuzhu support her as she walked towards the palace.

Concubine Li and Concubine Li walked half a step behind the two men, with their heads lowered, not daring to look up.

Walking into the palace, Zhou Yanze looked at Yanyan tenderly.

Yanyan glared at him fiercely, then looked away and ignored him.
