Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Liu Yanyan had just taken a bite of the pastry when she saw Yuzhen coming over with a few maids. After arranging the prepared dishes one by one, she stepped aside with her head lowered.

Yanyan put down the cake in her hand and looked up to see Yuzhen and several maids. Their skirts were wet and their embroidered shoes were also wet.

She said distressedly, "Yuzhu will serve you here. You guys go down first, change your wet clothes, and then come back to serve."

Yuzhen hesitated and said, "Princess, this is against the rules. The servants should be waiting for you when you eat. How can you leave first? We can serve you the meal and then change your clothes."

Liu Yanyan looked at their embarrassed expressions and said calmly, "I am the rule in this mansion, no one will say anything. Hurry up and change your clothes! Otherwise you will catch a cold and pass on the disease to me."

Yuzhen and the others then bowed and took their leave, carefully walking out holding up their skirts, not daring to let any water droplets fall onto the floor.

Seeing them leave, Yanyan picked up the jade chopsticks, picked up a silver-thread vegetarian bun, and ate it in small bites.

After eating, he picked up the Tremella soup that Yuzhu had scooped up and drank it slowly. He was half full after finishing it. Looking at the table full of vegetarian dishes, he lost his appetite and stopped eating.

Yuzhu was distressed when she saw that the princess ate too little. "Princess, please eat more. Your body can't stand eating only this. You eat too little."

Liu Yanyan said helplessly, "These are too plain, I really have no appetite at all! So that's it!"

Yuzhu looked at the dishes on the table and saw a dish of moist tofu. She scooped out a small bowl and placed it next to the princess.

"Try it. How does it taste? I heard it's a new dish. This is the first time I've seen it."

Liu Yanyan looked at the tofu without any appetite. Seeing Yuzhu's confidence, she scooped a small piece with a spoon. It melted in her mouth, and the strong egg flavor spread in her mouth without any bean smell. "Very good, reward."

Seeing that the princess was enjoying the meal, Yuzhu stepped forward with a happy face and said, "On behalf of the master, I would like to thank the princess for the reward."

Seeing her like this, Yanyan chuckled, "Okay, get up!"

After finishing a bowl of egg tofu, she put down the spoon and let the maids clear the dishes away.

At this time, Zhou Yanze came over in a black python robe with a white belt tied around his waist. "Yan Yan, let's go and follow me into the palace."

Yanyan raised her eyes to look at him and said, "Have you found out what happened? When will the second prince be buried? Today! It's too hasty!"

Zhou Yanze sat down on the chair, picked up the teapot and took a sip of hot tea.

"It has not been found out yet, and the second prince cannot be buried today. However, the second prince's mother, Concubine Li, fell ill upon hearing the news of the second prince's drowning. Several imperial doctors are helpless, and other noble wives have already entered the palace to take care of him. You should also go to the palace and pretend to be well."

Liu Yanyan nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go to the palace. It would be unreasonable not to go."

Zhou Yanze nodded and said, "Take Concubine Li with you!"

Liu Yanyan was stunned when she heard this. She didn't know what Zhou Yanze was thinking. She sighed slightly and said, "Okay, take her with you."

Turning to look at Yuye, he said, "Yuye, go and invite Concubine Li to come into the palace together. Remember to ask her to change out of her coral red dress and wear less hairpins."

Zhou Yanze looked at Yanyan after hearing this, and spoke after a long while, "Red dress! Didn't I tell you yesterday not to wear bright-colored clothes? Didn't you send someone to remind you?"

Seeing that he questioned her without asking any questions, Liu Yanyan was slightly displeased. "Yesterday, housekeeper Zhou sent someone to remind her early in the morning. I don't know why, but she came to pay her respects early in the morning wearing a coral red dress and gold jewelry. She was dressed in a golden outfit."

Zhou Yanze nervously pulled Yanyan's hand and said in annoyance, "Yanyan, don't be angry. It's all my fault. I just didn't expect that Li would deliberately do this and be so presumptuous."

Liu Yanyan felt sour in her heart, but she still said, "She is considered a half-wife, and she is not wearing red. I am too lazy to care, but she must be dressed in a way that is not suitable for entering the palace this morning. This is a reminder. I promised to take her, and I will take her."

After saying that, she pulled her hand away, placed her slender hand on Yuzhu's hand, and walked out, ignoring Zhou Yanze behind her.

Seeing that Yanyan was angry, Zhou Yanze took the oil-paper umbrella from Yuzhen's hand and held it above Yanyan's head, and his dragon robe got wet.

"Yan Yan, don't be angry, don't be angry! I didn't expect this, didn't I? It's all my fault, go ahead and hit me! I promise not to fight back, I didn't know she dared to do this on purpose."

Liu Yanyan looked at his pitiful appearance, and thinking that she was still the regent princess, she finally said, "Okay, but this won't happen again."

Before he could finish his words, Zhou Yanze grabbed his hand and held it in his arms. A warmth surged from his fingertips.

Zhou Yanze smiled foolishly, "Okay, I'll listen to Yanyan. I'll warm Yanyan's hands. Yanyan's hands are cold."

Seeing his silly look, Yanyan gently pulled back her hand and tried to get on the carriage by herself. She flew into the air and said, "Silly, what are you doing? Didn't you say that you can't let outsiders see it?"

Zhou Yanze smiled dotingly and said, "Don't worry, no one will see Yanyan. It's raining so hard, who would come out without worrying?" Then he carried Yanyan into the carriage, covered her with a quilt before leaving.

Liu Yanyan touched the thin blanket on her body and looked at his leaving back, lost in thought, not knowing whether this scene was real or fake.

Pulling a corner of the curtain and looking through the gap, I saw that he was leading the concubine Li, who was dressed exquisitely in blue clothes, towards the carriage in front and leading her into the carriage.

Yanyan felt sour in her heart and lowered the car curtain angrily, "Yuzhu, pour me a cup of hot tea."

Seeing that the princess was unhappy, Yuzhu knelt down and poured a cup of hot tea, respectfully placing it next to the princess.

Yanyan took the teacup and drank a cup of hot tea, then she suppressed the depression in her heart. "Nothing, take a rest, you have to go to the palace to serve the sick in a while! Don't kneel, you two should sit down too! Otherwise, you can't stand it."

Yuzhu and Yuzhen then stood up and sat respectfully below, not daring to look up.

Palace entrance

After Yanyan let Yuzhu help her get off the carriage, she saw Zhou Yanze getting off the carriage on his own and walking straight towards her, with Concubine Li chasing after him with her skirt lifted up.

Yanyan curled her lips helplessly, walked to his side, and glared at him fiercely with resentment in her eyes.

Zhou Yanze then looked at Yanyan, smiled dotingly, slowed down his pace, and said silently, "I'll wait for you."

Seeing that there were palace maids around her, Liu Yanyan did not reply, but just smiled gently, which counted as a reply.

Seeing the ambiguous relationship between the two, Concubine Li followed behind with gritted teeth, stomping her feet hard as if she wanted to crush the bluestone slab.

When Yanyan heard the noise, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and she walked towards the palace side by side with Zhou Yanze.

The few of them separated in the Imperial Garden. Liu Yanyan placed her hands on Yuzhu and Yuzhen's hands, and took Concubine Li to Concubine Li's Yong'an Palace.

When passing by the lotus pond, I couldn't help but shiver. When I thought about the gathering in the lotus pond a few days ago, when the Second Prince sank to the bottom of the pond, I felt very disgusted.
