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

Chapter 15: It's not worth it for someone you don't love anymore

Today's meal was particularly rich, and every dish was delicious. Yin Liu picked up a piece of braised fish and put it in Pei Zhiyan's bowl, saying, "Miss, this is your favorite braised fish."

Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly, she knew that this was specially prepared by Yinliu for her. She picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth, nodding with satisfaction.

"By the way, how is it outside today?" Pei Zhiyan suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this question, Yin Liu immediately became excited. Today, she went to the downtown area in person and found out a lot of information.

"Miss, you really asked the right question. The news about the concubine's marriage yesterday was widely spread in the streets and alleys, and there were all kinds of versions." Yin Liu said with a beaming eyebrow.

"There are all kinds of things, but most people say that although the second young lady is a concubine, she is lucky to be able to marry into the palace as a concubine. After all, a concubine is just a concubine. She thinks she is so great that she insists on going through the main gate of the palace. Isn't this asking for trouble?"

"Some people also said that the prince did not go to the bridal chamber last night, but stayed at the young lady's place. It can be seen that in the prince's heart, the principal wife is still more important. This matter has also been spread to everyone. Everyone says that the prince did a good job and should not give her face like this!"

Yin Liu said mysteriously, "Some people also said that the concubine was burned by the fire when she stepped over the fire basin. It must be that the gods did not want the concubine to enter the house. She is an unlucky person!"

Becoming a laughing stock on her wedding day did not cause any harm to Pei Zhixuan, it just added to her frustration.

Even if I had planned to prevent Xuanyuan Ping from going to the bridal chamber last night, so what? Xuanyuan Ping couldn't tell the world that it was a trick, right? If he didn't mind being embarrassed and was willing to do it, I had no objection. But he would just be branded as a jealous woman, and wouldn't it be the Prince Jing's Mansion that would be laughed at?

Haha, thinking of this, Pei Zhiyan laughed secretly in her heart.

Oh, an ominous person? This was the label Pei Zhixuan gave me in my previous life. In this life, I will give it back to her, so that she can also experience what an ominous person is.

Seeing Pei Zhiyan's smile, Yin Liu seemed to remember something, and suddenly scratched her head and asked puzzledly, "Miss, there is something I don't understand."

"What's the matter?" Pei Zhiyan asked with a smile.

"It's about what happened last night. I don't understand. Miss loves the prince so much, so why didn't Miss take the opportunity to be with the prince last night..." Yin Liu said, her face turning red.

As a personal maid who has always been with Pei Zhiyan, Yin Liu knows Pei Zhiyan's feelings for the prince best. Over the years, no matter what the prince's attitude towards Pei Zhiyan is, Pei Zhiyan always puts the prince first.

If the young lady and the prince had already made it a done deal last night, perhaps the prince's attitude towards the young lady would have changed in the future. If the young lady was pregnant with the prince's child, then the young lady's position as the principal wife would be secure.

By then, no matter how favored the Second Miss is, she will not be afraid of surpassing the Young Miss.

However, the young lady went to the ear room and slept all night last night, thus missing out on such a good opportunity.

"Oh, silly girl, how can we explain the feelings between men and women in this world clearly?" Pei Zhiyan chuckled, her eyes became deep and blurred, revealing a deep sadness, her voice trembled a little, as if she was trying hard to suppress her inner emotions.

Pei Zhiyan clenched her hands tightly together, her white knuckles trembling slightly from the force. She lowered her head to look at the rice in the bowl, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her eyelids, making it difficult to see the expression in her eyes.

She looked at Yin Liu and Yin Ping, as if she was saying to them, or as if she was talking to herself, "It's not worth it for someone you don't love anymore."

Yinliu and Yinping did not say anything, but just accompanied her to eat silently. They had all seen how the young lady felt about the prince over the years. Now that the young lady said such words, it seemed that the fact that the prince married a concubine had made the young lady disillusioned with the prince.

On the busiest street in the capital, the Yingbin Building stands there, like an eternal symbol, witnessing the rise and fall of the capital. This is the largest and most prosperous restaurant in the capital, and also a distribution center for all kinds of news.

In a private room on the second floor, a tall man was leaning against the window. His eyes were deep and bright, as if he could see through all hypocrisy and truth.

A man dressed as a guard appeared at the door with a serious expression. He knocked on the door and said respectfully, "Your Highness, the news came from Prince Jing's Mansion."

The tall man turned out to be the current sixth prince, Xuanyuan Che, with a noble and cold aura between his eyebrows. Because he had not yet married, he had not established a palace and was crowned king.

Xuanyuan Che frowned, his eyes deep and sharp. He looked up at the guard in front of him, his tone calm and serious, "How did it get out?"

The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, it was probably the servants in the palace who spread the news first. In addition, many of the ladies who were present yesterday also spread the news."

Xuanyuan Che's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He was silent for a moment, then slowly turned around and looked out the window. There was no expression on his face, but his fingers were tapping the window frame gently, thinking about something.

Xuanyuan Che was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Got it, go add fuel to the fire."

The guard understood and responded, then retreated. Xuanyuan Che turned to the window again, and Pei Zhiyan's face appeared in front of him.

This imperial sister-in-law was quite interesting. He had seen her love Xuanyuan Ping madly and to the point of losing herself in love. However, that day in Prince Jing's mansion, she seemed to be a little different.

That day, she stood beside Xuanyuan Ping dignifiedly, smiling and entertaining guests, as elegant as a blooming lotus. However, he caught a flash of disdain and even hatred for Xuanyuan Ping in her eyes.

He recalled the first time he saw her. At that time, her eyes were as clear as water. Although she was small in stature, she was very brave. She was a kind and innocent little girl.

When I saw her again, her eyes no longer had the clarity they once had, and were replaced by a deep melancholy and helplessness.

Every time he came into contact with Pei Zhiyan, he couldn't help but feel a bit of pity for her. He saw her persistence in love, and also her helplessness towards love.

For some reason, he always wanted to protect her and comfort her, but he also knew that he couldn't. She was his sister-in-law, and their identities determined their fate.

He could only do his best to silently care for her and protect her behind her back.
