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

On this day, Pei Zhiyan had just stepped into Fuyun Tower when she heard Li Qiuniang come to report that Xuanyuan Che wanted to see her.

Pei Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, but soon laughed at herself. She had seen Xuanyuan Che's magical powers before, so it was not surprising that he could find out that Fuyun Tower belonged to him.

She entered the secret room and asked Li Qiuniang to bring him over.

The door creaked open, but no one was seen. Pei Zhiyan stared at the door in surprise, only to see a white furry creature suddenly pounce at her feet.

Pei Zhiyan was slightly startled and looked down, only to see a white fox looking up at her, with a hint of cunning and mischief in its eyes.

She had an idea and squatted down, gently stroking the white fox's soft fur. The white fox obediently let her stroke it.

The fox's fur is as white as snow, crystal clear, like a fine work of art. Its eyes are like black gems, flashing with mysterious light, which makes people fall in love with it.

Its body is petite and delicate, with graceful lines, like a dancer, jumping lightly. Its tail is long, like a white feather fan, swaying gently, revealing an elegant temperament.

The white fox seemed to feel Pei Zhiyan's love. It licked her hand gently, then jumped up, jumped onto her shoulder, and rubbed her face with its little head.

Pei Zhiyan laughed out loud at its cute appearance. She patted its head gently and said, "You little guy, you are really naughty."

The white fox seemed to understand her words, it whined twice, then jumped to the ground and began to run around in the secret room. Its movements were light and agile, like a gust of wind, dazzling.

Pei Zhiyan was so fascinated by it that she couldn't help but run after it.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Che suddenly appeared in front of her. Pei Zhiyan didn't react for a moment and almost fell into his arms. She quickly steadied herself and smiled awkwardly.

Xuanyuan Che looked at her flustered appearance, with a hint of teasing in his eyes. He stretched out his hand, trying to steady her, but Pei Zhiyan dodged it skillfully.

"Why did you suddenly appear?" Pei Zhiyan straightened her dress, sat up straight, trying to hide her embarrassment.

Xuanyuan Che smiled secretly when he saw this. She was just like a lively girl, but now she acted like a lady from a noble family. It was really interesting.

However, seeing her like this just now, she did look a bit innocent and cute as a child.

He walked to the table, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, then turned his gaze to Pei Zhiyan, his eyes full of interest.

Pei Zhiyan felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, her face slightly reddened, and she asked, "Why are you coming here now? What do you want from me?"

Xuanyuan Che did not answer her question directly, but walked closer to her, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and asked with a mysterious smile, "Do you like it?"

Pei Zhiyan was stunned and looked at him blankly, "Huh?" She didn't understand what he meant.

Xuanyuan Che stretched out his finger and gently pointed at the white fox that was rubbing against Pei Zhiyan's hand, his eyes full of smiles.

Pei Zhiyan was stunned. The white fox in her hand seemed to sense something and gently rubbed her palm. Her face was slightly red, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, "Is this yours?"

"If you like it, I'll give it to you." Xuanyuan Che said gently.

"Why?" Pei Zhiyan asked puzzledly.

"Because it's just as cute as you." Xuanyuan Che took a step closer, looked down at her with affectionate eyes.

Pei Zhiyan's heart beat faster and her face turned redder as she listened to his words.

She lowered her eyes, not daring to look him in the eye, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a shy smile, "You are good at making fun of people."

Xuanyuan Che chuckled and reached out to stroke the white fox's fur, "I just spoke my mind."

Pei Zhiyan remained silent, just picked up the teacup and took a sip to hide her embarrassment.

"It belongs to you now, you can give it a name." Xuanyuan Che said.

Want to give it a name?

Pei Zhiyan reached out and stroked its fur, falling into deep thought. It was snow-white all over and so smart, but she didn't even know what name to give it.

Pei Zhiyan thought about it, then looked up at Xuanyuan Che, "Let's call it 'Xue'er'. Because its fur is as white as snow, I hope it can be as pure and flawless as snowflakes."

"Xue'er? It's a good name." Xuanyuan Che teased it gently.

The white fox seemed to understand their words and jumped happily between the two of them. Suddenly, it jumped onto the table, grabbed the cakes on the table and started eating.

"What a foodie!" Xuanyuan Che shook his head, "Why not call him Little Bean Bun? Look at how round it is, just like a bean bun."

Pei Zhiyan was speechless. The white fox was such a spiritual animal, but he gave it such a vulgar name as Little Bean Bun. However, she couldn't help laughing when she saw the white fox eating with relish. The name Little Bean Bun was quite cute.

"Little Doubao, come here." Pei Zhiyan called softly to the psychic white fox.

The white fox seemed to understand her call, and happily jumped to her side, looking at her with its crystal clear eyes. Pei Zhiyan reached out her hand and stroked its soft fur, and couldn't help but sigh at the spirituality of the white fox.

Pei Zhiyan was very happy when she came back from Fuyun Building with Xiaodoubao, but she ran into Xue's mother unexpectedly. Xue's sarcastic face was like a dark cloud, which made Pei Zhiyan feel depressed instantly.

"The princess just came back from outside again?" Mother Xue said sarcastically.

Pei Zhiyan knew in her heart that Mother Xue was deliberately looking for trouble, so she smiled faintly and did not respond.

Mother Xue did not give up and continued, "Princess, please forgive me for being so nosy. After a woman gets married, she should stay at home and take care of her husband and children. It is really inappropriate for you to go out of the house every few days like this."

"Besides, if you do this, your Highness will lose face in front of his colleagues."

"Mother Xue, what do you mean by this?" Pei Zhiyan suppressed her anger and asked, "Doesn't a woman get married and can't go out?"

"Princess, that's not what I meant." Mother Xue said, "I just think that a woman should put her husband first and her family first. As a princess, you should put the interests of the palace first. If you go out every day like this, it will not only embarrass the prince, but also affect the reputation of the palace."

"Mother Xue, are you threatening me?" Pei Zhiyan said coldly, "Since I've married into the palace, I will fulfill my responsibilities and obligations. If the prince is not satisfied with me because of this, then I have nothing to say."

At this time, Mother Xue saw Yin Liu holding a white fox behind her. Her face changed drastically and she shouted angrily, "This white fox is a monster. How can you just bring it back to the palace? Throw it out now!"
