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

Xuanyuan Ping stayed at Yuxiangxie for several days, which made Pei Zhixuan very happy. She said that the prince loved her and that he stayed at Yimei Garden because he was drunk. After a few days of love and affection, Pei Zhixuan almost forgot the pain of falling out of favor on the wedding day.

Pei Zhixuan did not go to Yime Garden these days. She thought that Pei Zhiyan had already told her to have a good rest and there was no need for her to go and pay her respects.

Fortunately, she was sensible. She had no intention of paying respects to the emperor every day. So what if she was the principal wife? In the palace, only those who could gain the favor of the prince were the real masters!

Pei Zhixuan was very proud of this.

Mother Xu tried to persuade her several times, saying that after all, the princess had the final say in matters of the palace's backyard, and that matters on the surface had to be dealt with, but Pei Zhixuan refused to listen and acted like a winner.

Mother Xu could only shake her head helplessly and let her young lady be happy for a few days and then talk about it later.

The day of returning to the parents' home is approaching, and Xuanyuan Ping agreed to accompany Pei Zhixuan to the Pei Mansion, which made Pei Zhixuan very proud. You know, Pei Zhixuan has never even returned to the parents' home.

That day, Pei Zhixuan went to Yime Garden with a proud look on her face.

"Sister, I'm here." Before the maid could announce the news, Pei Zhixuan walked in.

Pei Zhiyan, who was sitting in the inner room, frowned slightly and signaled with her eyes. Yin Liu beside her stood up, lifted the curtain and walked out.

"Concubine Xuan, the princess is changing her clothes. Please wait for a moment." Yin Liu said.

"It's already this late and you haven't gotten up yet. You're still changing clothes." Pei Zhixuan muttered, then sat down in the main seat without any courtesy, with a bit of impatience on her face.

She glanced at the pastries on the table, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, tasting the pastry.

"Concubine Xuan, please sit here. That's the princess' seat." Seeing this, Yin Liu quickly pointed to a seat below and said.

Pei Zhixuan glanced at her and said calmly, "My sister and I have always been inseparable. It doesn't matter where we sit. My sister is now a princess, but she is so distant from me. It's really disheartening."

As she spoke, she picked up another piece of cake, put it to her nose and sniffed it, then said with disdain, "Where is this cake from? It's far worse than the ones the prince brought back from Yufulou." After that, she put the cake back on the plate.

Yinliu couldn't help but feel a little angry when she heard this. The prince and the princess have been married for many years, but he has never brought any cakes or even a piece of paper to the princess. This concubine Xuan is blatantly showing off.

But after all, she was just a maid, so she could only roll her eyes secretly and curse her to choke to death next time she ate cakes!

At this time, the curtain of the inner room was gently opened, and Pei Zhiyan, wearing a simple and elegant long dress, walked out slowly. She looked at Pei Zhixuan who was sitting in the main seat, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.

She walked up to Pei Zhixuan with a smile on her face and said, "Sister, you're here so early."

Upon hearing this, Pei Zhixuan stood up perfunctorily, bowed, and said, "Hello, sister." After that, she sat back in her original seat, picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip.

Mother Xu did not come with them today, so Xiao Cui hurried forward to massage Pei Zhixuan's shoulders, showing her true nature as a caring little girl.

Seeing the master and servant acting like the guests had turned the tables, Pei Zhiyan sneered in her heart.

Pei Zhiyan sat quietly on a soft chair beside her and said calmly, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You look better and better."

Pei Zhixuan smiled proudly after hearing this, "Thanks to you, my life is relatively stable. However, I am not as free as you. You know that the prince comes to Yuxiangxie every day, and I only found some time to come and see you today."

Pei Zhiyan picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip, and then asked with a smile, "Sister, what's the urgent matter that brought you to see me today?"

Pei Zhixuan put down the teacup and said calmly, "It's nothing serious. I just want to discuss with my sister about returning home tomorrow."

"Oh?" Pei Zhiyan raised her eyebrows in surprise, "I almost forgot that tomorrow is the day my sister will come back home."

On the third day after I married into the palace, Xuanyuan Ping did not accompany me back home, citing his busy work as an excuse. But it didn't matter anymore. My mother was long gone and I had no attachment to her anymore.

"Sister, you didn't prepare any return gifts, did you?" Pei Zhixuan suddenly became a little excited, her voice unconsciously raised a few degrees, and she almost jumped off the chair.

Pei Zhiyan sneered in her heart. Haha, she was not prepared. But she said slowly, "How could that be?"

Pei Zhixuan calmed down and asked, "So what has my sister prepared?"

Pei Zhiyan picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. "Sister is the princess, and she didn't return home after her wedding. Now my sister has married into the palace. As both of us are girls from the Pei family, sister can't let my sister suffer any more grievances."

Hearing this, Pei Zhixuan's face showed a bit of pride. This time when she returned home, she wanted to prove her status in the palace to the world.

"The prince will return home with my sister tomorrow." Pei Zhixuan said with a beaming look in her eyes, full of pride.

Pei Zhiyan knew this of course. In the previous life, the two of them returned home together with a grand ceremony. They brought back a large number of precious gifts, which made the ladies in the boudoir envious.

And all of this was prepared by Pei Zhiyan. Now that I think about it, I am really a pure resentful person with a love brain!

"However," Pei Zhiyan frowned slightly and observed Pei Zhixuan calmly.

Sure enough, when Pei Zhixuan heard the word "but", her expression changed slightly, "But what?"

"However, because my sister's marriage to the prince has been the talk of the capital recently, Prince Jing's Mansion has been at the center of controversy these days." Pei Zhiyan said softly, revealing some worry in her tone.

"So, I hope that my sister can keep a low profile when she returns home."

"How do you keep a low profile?" Pei Zhixuan asked nervously.

"It's nothing, actually. I just hope that my sister won't be too ostentatious when she returns home. Just bring some necessary maids, servants and guards."

"Regarding the return gift, don't make it too extravagant. I originally prepared a lot of gifts for my sister, but I hope to keep it simple this time. Just bring the four treasures of the study, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and some tea and snacks. Is that ok?"

Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly and continued, "Our Pei family is a family of scholars, and these gifts are in line with our family tradition."
