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

"Mother Xue, Xiao Doubao is not a monster. It's just a cute little fox. It won't hurt anyone." Yin Liu said firmly.

Mother Xue's face darkened instantly, and she glared at Yin Liu angrily, "You are talking nonsense! A monster is a monster, and it must not be allowed to stay in the palace! If it hurts anyone in the palace, can you bear the responsibility?"

Yinliu ignored her and pretended not to hear her. She lowered her head and stroked the little bean bun's head, signaling it not to be afraid.

Mother Xue became even more furious when she saw this. She glared at Yin Liu and ordered the maids and servants behind her to go and grab the little bean bun. "Take this monster away from me!"

Those maids and old women usually followed Mama Xue's lead and relied on Mama Xue's power to act arrogantly in the mansion. When they heard Mama Xue's order, they naturally rushed forward to grab it.

Yinliu protected Xiaodoubao tightly, and was pushed and shoved by them, and actually fell to the ground.

"Stop!" Pei Zhiyan shouted angrily, and everyone stopped their actions. Her eyes were cold and her tone was full of majesty, "This is my princess's favorite pet, who dares to throw it away?"

This Mother Xue is so arrogant that she dares to treat the people of Yimeyuan like this in front of her.

"Princess, this fox has too much evil spirit. Keeping it in the mansion is a blasphemy against the gods!" Mother Xue said firmly.

Pei Zhiyan glanced at Mother Xue coldly, with a faint smile on her lips. "Mother Xue, you only know that the demonic aura is too strong, but you don't know that white foxes are always spiritual. It has both the side of being a demon beast and the identity of a beast of good fortune. Besides, everything in the world has spirituality, how can we easily conclude that it is a demon?"

Mother Xue's face changed, but she was speechless. Although she had some doubts in her heart, she also knew that what the princess said was true. She sighed helplessly, "The princess is right, I am ignorant."

"This is the auspicious beast that this princess invited. Treating it like this is a blasphemy against the gods." Pei Zhiyan's tone was a little displeased.

She walked to the white fox and gently stroked its soft fur. The white fox raised its head and looked at her with its crystal clear eyes, which were full of gratitude and dependence.

"The white fox is a very spiritual animal. They usually only appear in some mysterious places and are regarded as the incarnation of gods. It is fate that this princess can invite it. You should respect it instead of hurting it."

Pei Zhiyan's voice was full of majesty, making people dare not disobey. Her eyes revealed a kind of firmness and confidence, which made people feel awe.

Mother Xue was also shocked. This princess was becoming more and more unpredictable.

"Tolerance is not giving in without limits, nor is it kindness and weakness without moral integrity." Having said this, she suddenly paused, her cold eyes slowly swept over the maids and servants behind her, her voice becoming colder and colder, "You all have to listen to me carefully, do your job well, don't talk too much when you shouldn't, don't meddle in other people's business when you shouldn't!"

At this moment, Mother Xue's face turned red and white, which looked very beautiful. She knew in her heart that the princess was criticizing her. She lowered her head, not daring to look Pei Zhiyan in the eye, but she was extremely angry in her heart.

Humph, since the princess dotes on that little white fox so much, I must find a way to drive that white fox out. Only in this way can I let the people in the mansion know that I still have a say in this mansion.

Pei Zhiyan looked at Mother Xue's expression and sneered in her heart. She just wanted to make her understand that she was not a puppet at the mercy of others, nor was she a weak and incompetent woman.

She has her own bottom line and her own principles. She will not let anyone bully her, nor will she let anyone hurt the people around her.

As soon as they entered Yime Garden, the maids in the garden were very curious about the arrival of Xiao Doubao. The brave little maid even went forward to take a closer look at this cute little Doubao. Pei Zhiyan then ordered the maids to prepare some food for Xiao Doubao, and also prepared a small room for it, which was served by a little maid.

After finishing her work and sitting down, Yin Liu helped Pei Zhiyan change her clothes, and Yin Ping served her a cup of hot tea. Seeing that the two of them looked unhappy, she became suspicious, so she quietly asked Yin Liu, "What's going on?"

Yin Liu curled her lips, "Mrs. Xue is causing trouble again. She just now insisted that the little bean bun was a monster and wouldn't let it in. However, Miss didn't give her any face in front of everyone this time."

Yinping frowned slightly, she knew how powerful Mama Xue was. As the prince's wet nurse, Mama Xue had always been bullying others in the mansion. Now that the prince had finally changed his mind about the young lady, it would not be a good thing to offend her at this time.

"Don't be so gloating. Although Mother Xue is arrogant and domineering, she is the prince's wet nurse after all. We should try our best to avoid conflicts with her." Yinping said softly.

"She, she just said that Xiao Doubao was a monster and wouldn't let Xiao Doubao in!" Yin Liu said angrily.

The little bean bun is so cute, how could it be a monster? When Yinliu thought of the little bean bun’s snow-white and furry appearance, a sweet smile immediately appeared on her face.

Pei Zhiyan said lightly, "If she behaves herself, Prince Jing's Mansion will let her live out her old age in peace, but if she insists on doing it her own way, I will not tolerate it."

At this time, there was a flurry of footsteps outside. After a while, the little maid who was responsible for taking care of Xiao Doubao ran over in a panic, panting and saying, "Princess, it...it..."

Pei Zhiyan looked up and saw the little bean curd standing outside the door, motionless and looking a little pitiful. She guessed something and smiled knowingly. She walked towards it and gently held it in her arms, "Don't you want to stay there by yourself?"

The little bun licked her palm, made a few low "woooo" sounds, and stared at her with his eyes motionless, as if responding to her question.

Pei Zhiyan smiled gently. She stroked the little bean bun's back, then turned to the nervous little maid at the door and said, "It's okay. In that case, let it stay here."

The little maid breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Yes, Princess." Then she turned and left.

The little bean bun lay obediently on Pei Zhiyan's shoulder like a well-behaved child. Its two eyes were as bright as black gemstones, rolling around, curiously observing everything around it.

Pei Zhiyan then instructed Yin Liu, "Go prepare a quilt and put it next to my bed."

Yinliu responded respectfully and quickly went out to prepare.

She looked at the two little maids in the room again and smiled, "Don't be afraid, it's very well behaved and won't hurt anyone."

The two maids looked at each other, then looked at her, lowered their heads and replied, "Yes, Princess."

Pei Zhiyan smiled again, "There's nothing to do here, you guys go down first."

The two maids answered in unison, "Yes, Princess," and then retreated.
