Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Regent's House

Liu Yanyan returned to the main courtyard and was about to take off her official uniform when Yuzhen came over in a hurry and said, "Princess, Concubine He is asking to see you at the door. Please come in."

Liu Yanyan then patted Yuzhu's hand and said, "Since Sister He wants to see you, let's meet her! She came once yesterday, it's not good to not see her forever, but I don't know what made her like this."

Yuzhu then stopped what she was doing and buttoned up the button she had just unbuttoned. "Princess, you are so kind to Concubine He that you let her in."

Liu Yanyan smiled and tapped her forehead, watching Yuzhen run out to meet someone, putting her hand on Yuzhu's hand, and sitting on a chair outside.

Yuzhu looked distressed, turned around to get the hot water bottle and put it on the princess's hand, "Princess, please warm it up, don't let your hands get cold."

Liu Yanyan said soothingly, "It's not very cold now. Besides, there are several charcoal basins in the house. It's warm, so how could it be cold?"

Yuzhu nodded slightly, but still stared at the concubine He who walked in with an unfriendly look.

Seeing this, Liu Yanyan patted her gently. Seeing that she had put away her unhappy expression, she turned to look at the concubine He who was bowing and said, "Sister He, please stand up!"

Only then did Concubine He dare to stand up and stand obediently aside, pouring tea for the princess, "Sister Princess, please have some tea."

Liu Yanyan looked at her restrained appearance, took the teacup, and said coldly, "Sister He, why did you come here today? Just tell me!"

Concubine He was surprised for a moment when she saw the princess asking directly, and then she stammered, "Sister Princess, the yard where I live is too remote, and the wind leaks everywhere. Seeing that the weather is getting colder, I have the audacity to come to you and ask for help."

Liu Yanyan said awkwardly, "Your courtyard was arranged by the prince, so it's not difficult for me to intervene. Why don't you go directly to the prince? After all, this was arranged by the prince early in the morning."

Concubine He was unwilling to give up. She picked up a piece of cake and put it in the princess's hand. "Sister Princess, you are the princess of the mansion. Logically, you should be in charge of the backyard of this mansion. Please change the yard for me! The current yard is really uninhabitable."

Liu Yanyan put down the cakes and teacup in her hands, looked at Concubine He's fawning appearance, and asked, "Oh! Is this a yard you like? Can you tell me which yard you like? I'll think about it!"

Concubine He cautiously tried to test the waters, saying, "Sister Princess, I have my eyes on the courtyard next to the new doctor in the An Mansion, which is next to the garden at the back."

Liu Yanyan looked at Yuzhu in confusion.

Yuzhu said, "The courtyard where Doctor An lives is a small courtyard next to the garden at the back. The courtyard is very small, but not very far away. The courtyards next to it are empty, but they are just as small."

Liu Yanyan asked in confusion, "The yard over there is not good either. Why did you think of going there? The yard over there is not as big as yours."

Concubine He said hesitantly, "That place is always better than the yard we are in now. The yard now always feels cold, and my body really can't stand it." After saying that, she raised her hand and shed tears pitifully.

Liu Yanyan said coldly, "Oh! So the palace has wronged you? It's because the palace can't pamper you anymore. I didn't know my sister was so pampered."

Concubine He hurriedly shook her head and said, "Princess, I don't have this idea. I just like the courtyard over there. I beg you to fulfill my wish. I really can't bear it any longer."

Liu Yanyan slammed the table coldly, "Tell me the truth, don't think I'm easy to fool! Why do you have to live there?"

Concubine He then lowered her head and said in shame, "I was envious of Sister Li living in Liuyan Pavilion, so I wanted to change the courtyard."

"Oh, really?"

Seeing that she could no longer conceal the truth, Concubine He spoke up, "Princess, Concubine Li's face has been cured by the An family doctor. That's why I want to move to the side yard and let her treat me so that I can be more beautiful. I have no other ideas."

Liu Yanyan looked at Concubine He in confusion, "You are the prince's concubine. You asked her to take care of your body, and she couldn't refuse. Why did she have to move over? This is unreasonable."

Concubine He lowered her head, as if she had something to hide.

Seeing her like this, Liu Yanyan lazily said, "If your yard is not good, tell Butler Zhou to have it repaired. Butler Zhou will not ignore it. Your yard was chosen by the prince, and I can't change it for you! If you want to change it, you'd better ask the prince. Your residence was chosen by the prince."

Only then did Concubine He shut up unwillingly, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.

Seeing her like this, Liu Yanyan said to her, "Why do you want to stay and serve me today? You are a good girl, come in and serve me!"

Concubine He was startled, with a look of annoyance on her face. She lowered her head and smiled bitterly, "It is my duty to serve the princess, and I will serve you right away."

Seeing her like this, Liu Yanyan didn't hesitate to wave her hand and asked her to follow her into the inner room. As soon as she raised her hand, she rushed to undress before Yuzhu.

Seeing that she had been unable to untie it for several times, Liu Yanyan said calmly, "Let Yuzhu do it!"

Concubine He did not leave. "Sister Princess, my hands are just a little stiff. Don't be angry. I will untie them right away."

Liu Yanyan looked at her red and swollen hands and asked in confusion, "Don't you have a personal maid? Why are your hands so red and swollen? It's just the beginning of autumn, it's not that cold yet!"

Concubine He lowered her head, looking very pitiful. "Sister Princess, there are too many things to do in this courtyard. It's too much for a little maid to finish them all. That's why I started to work. But my hands are not good enough. I am like this when I start to work! I'm sorry to embarrass you."

Liu Yanyan's eyes were full of suspicion, and she said to her calmly, "You don't need to serve me today, please leave first!"

Concubine He then walked out with a look of grievance, looking back every step of the way.

Yanyan's hands were covered with sweat, and she said to Yuye who was serving her, "Take this official uniform and wash it, iron it with boiling water, and then dry it."

Yuzhu became more careful after hearing this, trying to avoid the buttons that Concubine He had just touched. She threw the official robe on the tray and said to Yuye, "Be careful, and make sure to scald it with boiling water."

Yuye then respectfully held the edge of the tray, holding up the official robe, and walked out.

Seeing this, Liu Yanyan was more satisfied with the maids' caution. She changed into a red-orange gradient dress and light embroidered shoes, then said, "Keep an eye on the backyard and don't let them make trouble. Inform housekeeper Zhou to repair her and Li's courtyards to prevent people from freezing to death."

Yuzhu said respectfully, "Princess, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on you."

Liu Yanyan nodded, walked to the dressing table, took off the hairpin on her head, and let her long hair fall down like a waterfall.

Yuzhu combed her hair carefully and praised sincerely, "The princess is so beautiful, like a fairy from heaven."

Liu Yanyan smiled faintly, "You are the only one who speaks sweetly."
