I died tragically in my previous life, and I want to be an empress in my next life

Seeing Xuanyuan Che like this, Xuanyuan Ping frowned even deeper. He didn't want to have any interaction with Xuanyuan Che. But he couldn't refuse directly because the other party was a prince.

So, he replied calmly, "I am very grateful for your kindness. But I have something important to do today, so I can't stay any longer. I will have a chance to drink with you another day."

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Che raised a playful smile, "Third brother, you have always been cautious, why are you in such a hurry today? Is there something shameful going on?"

He knew that Pei Zhiyan was going out with Xuanyuan Ping today, so he stopped their carriage.

As soon as these words came out, a trace of anger flashed in Xuanyuan Ping's eyes. But he quickly suppressed his emotions and replied calmly, "My Royal Brother, you are too kind. I just have something important to do and cannot delay me."

Xuanyuan Che leaned his head into the carriage, but Xuanyuan Ping turned sideways, trying to block his view.

"Who is the girl in this car? Could it be that the third brother is also following others' example of keeping a beautiful girl in a golden house?" Xuanyuan Che's words were filled with a hint of teasing.

Xuanyuan Ping's expression changed slightly, and he stepped aside, saying with a hint of displeasure in his tone, "Sixth brother, don't talk nonsense. This is your sister-in-law."

Hearing the word "Emperor's sister-in-law", Xuanyuan Che's heart trembled violently. His eyes stayed on Pei Zhiyan for a moment, and a trace of imperceptible loss flashed in his eyes.

Jealousy, envy, helplessness and unwillingness, these complex emotions intertwined in Xuanyuan Che's heart. He was jealous that Xuanyuan Ping could be with her openly, but he could not have her.

He was unwilling to accept that he could only watch their happiness silently from the sidelines, even if Pei Zhiyan was just acting.

Xuanyuan Che stared at Pei Zhiyan closely, with a hint of provocation and temptation in his tone, "Do you two have anything important to go out and handle?"

"Your Highness has official business to attend to. Yuchun Tower recently received a new batch of fabrics, so he sent me over to pick out some fabrics." Pei Zhiyan said with a smile.

Xuanyuan Che glanced at Pei Zhiyan, then at Xuanyuan Ping, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Third brother is really considerate, if that's the case, then let's go together."

Pei Zhiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The three of them were going to Yuchun Tower together? What was Xuanyuan Che thinking?

"Yuchun Tower is filled with silks and satins. As a man, you would probably be bored if you went there." Pei Zhiyan said helplessly.

Xuanyuan Che chuckled, "How could that be? Isn't the Third Emperor also a man? He doesn't feel bored either."

Xuanyuan Ping said, "I am accompanying your sister-in-law, so I won't be bored. After you get married, it will be interesting to go shopping with your brother and sister-in-law."

“Oh, that’s perfect. I want to give some fabrics to the girl I like. Please help me choose, sister-in-law.” Xuanyuan Che said, emphasizing the word sister-in-law.

"It's hard to say. Everyone has different tastes. She may not like the fabric I choose." Pei Zhiyan said softly.

"She will definitely like what you choose." Xuanyuan Che looked at Pei Zhiyan, smiled slightly, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

Xuanyuan Ping at the side couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sixth brother has a favorite girl? I wonder which lady is so lucky?"

"She is an extremely special woman. Her every smile and every move makes my heart beat fast." Xuanyuan Che glanced at Pei Zhiyan, and then said with a hint of dissatisfaction and anger in his tone, "It's a pity that she is blind and her eyes cannot see me."

Pei Zhiyan's heart trembled, and she almost laughed and lowered her head to avoid Xuanyuan Che's gaze. This Xuanyuan Che was actually mocking her as a "blind person"! She tried to suppress her smile, but she felt mixed emotions in her heart.

Xuanyuan Ping also looked at Xuanyuan Che in surprise, "Is that so? Do you really like that woman? That's such a pity."

"But even if she is blind and deaf, I don't care!" Xuanyuan Che said again.

Pei Zhiyan's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her eyes to hide her feelings.

After hearing what Xuanyuan Che said, Xuanyuan Ping sighed, "It seems that this woman is indeed very special to be favored by the Sixth Prince."

The three of them fell into silence, and an indescribable emotion filled the air.

If I stay any longer, Xuanyuan Che might say something. Thinking of this, Pei Zhiyan took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that I had made an appointment with my aunt Lin to go to Yuchun Tower today. I guess my aunt is still waiting for me at the mansion."

"I'd better go to the General's Mansion to meet my aunt first. Your Majesty, please take care of your official duties first."

Xuanyuan Ping listened and looked at Pei Zhiyan's expression. Although he was a little confused, he still said, "In that case, Yan'er, you should go to the General's Mansion first."

After Xuanyuan Ping finished speaking, he got off the carriage.

Pei Zhiyan got in the carriage and left first.

The carriage went farther and farther away, leaving only a faint dust. Xuanyuan Ping watched the carriage go away, while Xuanyuan Che watched all this from the side, but he had a different feeling in his heart.

Xuanyuan Ping turned around and said to Xuanyuan Che, "Sixth brother, let's go have a drink."

Xuanyuan Che replied quietly, "Alas, I suddenly lost interest. Please do as you please, Third Brother."

Xuanyuan Che said this and walked away, leaving Xuanyuan Ping standing there alone with a gloomy face. He secretly swore in his heart that one day, he would let this sixth brother know who is the real king.

Pei Zhiyan's carriage drove towards the General's Mansion. Thinking of what happened just now, she felt angry and amused. This Xuanyuan Che was really like a child who never grew up. But it was good, as it helped her get rid of Xuanyuan Ping.

When she arrived at the General's Mansion, she first went to visit Old Madam Lin and her two aunts, and then went to find Song Qingfeng.

Last time, Xuanyuan Ping brought Doctor Liu to check her pulse, and although she had fooled him, Doctor Liu would come to check her pulse once every half a month, so she had to prepare some of the medicine from last time in case of emergency.

"Grandfather, hello, Master!"

Song Qingfeng was in General Lin's study, discussing something with him. When he saw Pei Zhiyan coming in, Song Qingfeng smiled and said, "My good disciple is here."

Pei Zhiyan walked in and felt relieved to see that General Lin had gotten rid of his wheelchair and was walking briskly.

"Grandfather, look, your leg disease has completely healed!" Pei Zhiyan's eyes were filled with a deep smile. She walked to the side of General Lin and looked at his legs carefully.

General Lin also had a bright smile on his face. "Yes, I never thought that Dr. Song's medical skills were so superb. My leg disease has completely healed these days and it doesn't hurt at all."
