Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Early next morning

Liu Yanyan was wearing a set of crimson clothes and a skirt of the same color. She had her hair tied up in a flowing bun and wore two ruby ​​hairpins. She put her hand on Yuzhu's hand and walked towards the old lady's yard.

In the previous life, on the second day after returning to the capital, all the generals received imperial edicts of rewards. Even if they were leaving soon, they had to prepare well before receiving the edict, otherwise it would be considered disrespectful.

When she entered the room, the old lady took her hand distressedly and said, "Yan Yan! Why did you come so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Liu Yanyan pulled her hand back and said, "Mother-in-law, I just changed the quilt and I'm not used to it. I didn't sleep well all night."

The smile on the old lady's face froze, and then she returned to normal, "This quilt needs to be changed frequently, otherwise you won't sleep warmly in winter." Rou'er is really something, why did she have to live in Guiranju, now it's good.

Just then, there was a noise of playfulness outside, and Aunt Zhao came running over, "Madam, Madam, someone is coming from the palace to read the imperial edict!"

The old lady looked serious and immediately ordered, "Quick, set up the incense table and receive the order!"

The servants quickly set up the incense table in the main courtyard. As soon as it was done, they saw the eunuchs from the palace coming in with several imperial guards.

Gu Beichen stepped forward and knelt, "Your Majesty, Gu Beichen, accept my order!"

The eunuch unfolded the imperial edict and read, "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that the fifth-rank military commander Gu Beichen, who was protecting the territory of our Zhou Kingdom, was injured in a vital part by the enemy on the battlefield and is no longer qualified to be a military commander. He is promoted to the fourth-rank city gate commander, responsible for the problems of Honghui to Mingguang Road, and will take up the post tomorrow."

Gu Beichen was shocked as he took the imperial edict. How could it be possible that this would control the thugs on the street?

The old lady saw Gu Beichen was stunned, and hurriedly took out a purse and handed it to the eunuch, "Excuse me, eunuch, Beichen was just too happy and didn't react for a while."

The eunuch took the money without saying anything and left with a few imperial guards.

After Liu Yanyan saw the imperial edict being read, she stood up and didn't want to pay attention to Gu Beichen. Just as she was about to leave, she found that Gu Beichen was holding her clothes. Her face was full of collapse, "Madam, how is it possible? Your father is the Duke! How could I be transferred to manage hooligans? It's impossible, how is it possible, it's impossible."

Lin Rou helped Gu Beichen up and said softly, "Sister, even if you don't like me, you can't joke about your husband's future!"

Liu Yanyan frowned, pulled back the corner of her clothes, and said impatiently, "That is an imperial decree, it is His Majesty's decision. Who do you think I am? I can influence His Majesty's decision. Gu Beichen, Lin Rou, if you are not convinced, you can go to His Majesty to ask for clarification. If you want to die, don't drag me into it."

Liu Yanyan wanted to leave but was stopped by the furious Gu Beichen, "Yanyan, how is this possible? I became like this because I went to the battlefield. How could His Majesty do this to me?" She was so angry that she didn't even stutter.

Liu Yanyan stared at him calmly and spoke word by word, "Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from heaven. You should be grateful. Now your right hand cannot move and you stutter a little. Where can His Majesty arrange for you? It is already a mercy of His Majesty to let you be the city gate commander."

Gu Beichen let go in frustration and slumped in his chair, unable to accept it for a long time.

The old lady was very sad to see that her imperial decree was gone. Seeing her son's decadent appearance and thinking that he was the only official in the family, she said, "Son, it's okay. The city gate order is good. At least it's safe. Mother finally doesn't have to worry every day. It's good that you can go home every day."

Gu Beichen was sad for a long time, but finally he accepted it. He suppressed his anger and convinced himself that this was the best arrangement. However, he was unwilling to accept it and always felt that it shouldn't be like this.

Lin Rou was also standing nearby. She had thought of this situation as well. After all, he was so badly injured, how could he still go to the battlefield? It was just that his official position was a bit low now.

Liu Yanyan watched Gu Beichen calm down and turned to leave the main courtyard.

Gu Beichen said, "Madam, where are you going? Let's have a meal together. Let's celebrate. I got a promotion."

Liu Yanyan's eyes were complicated, and she smiled, "Okay, then congratulations to my husband on his promotion, this is a good thing!"

The old lady also nodded. Although it was a promotion in name only and a demotion in reality, it was still a promotion after all.

Liu Yanyan saw a few simple meat dishes on the table and the cabbage that was obviously not fresh, and she forced herself not to show a look of disgust.

After the old lady picked up some dishes for Liu Yanyan, she said, "Beichen, report for duty tomorrow and work hard. Our family depends on you."

Gu Beichen nodded depressedly, "Okay, mother."

The old lady looked at Liu Yanyan who didn't say a word, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Yanyan, you should eat more vegetables and take care of your body. When Beichen recovers, you should also have a child as soon as possible."

Liu Yanyan's eyes were filled with displeasure, but she didn't show it on her face. She nodded slightly and said, "Okay, mother-in-law, we'll have a baby after Beichen recovers." She wanted to strangle him to death, but she still wanted to have a baby. It was wishful thinking.

When Lin Rou heard this, she just lowered her head to eat and was unwilling to speak. She was about to marry her cousin Beichen, but he could only be a city gate order for the rest of his life. What should she do? She had no chance to find another one!

The old lady saw that Lin Rou kept her head down and thought she might be nervous, so she didn't call her.

Liu Yanyan knew that she was shaken, but she didn't say it directly. After all, she still wanted to see her marry Gu Beichen, and the two scumbags would be locked together for life! Wouldn't it be fun to watch them fight each other?

The meal ended in a depressing atmosphere. Liu Yanyan didn't eat a single bite and left the main courtyard in a moment.

Walking out of the main courtyard, he saw that Nanny Zhao did not follow him, and he could not help but smile. His Majesty is so kind. Gu Beichen is so ambitious, and yet he lets him take care of the ruffians. Hahahahaha, that's great, really great.

The way back was covered with snow, but it did not affect her good mood. She always had a smile on her face. When she saw the wintersweet flowers, she walked up to them and picked a perfect one with a refreshing fragrance.

Return to Guiranju

Placing the wintersweet in a blue and white porcelain vase by the window creates a fresh and elegant beauty.

Yuzhu then said, "Madam, let me take off your cloak, so that the snow won't melt and get your cloak wet."

Liu Yanyan nodded and let her take off the cloak and go outside to shake off the snow.

Yuzhen took off her deerskin boots and put on her soft embroidered shoes. Then she stepped aside, washed her hands and asked, "Madam, you didn't eat just now. Can I ask the kitchen to bring some food?"

Liu Yanyan nodded in agreement. After all, she had indeed not eaten anything just now.

When Yuzhu came back, she was holding a hot water bottle in her hand. She came closer and said, "Madam, please use this. Your hands have been warm for a long time. They should not be warm anymore."

Liu Yanyan took the hot water bottle and said, "Yuzhen, go warm the bed. I didn't sleep well yesterday. I need to rest for a while."

After Yuzhen instructed the maid, she quickly replied "yes", turned around, opened the quilt, put the hot water bottle into the quilt, and tidied it up.
