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

Just as Princess Nagara left, a familiar male voice suddenly came over, "What a great saying that sincerity can move mountains and open rocks."

Pei Zhiyan was slightly stunned, then turned around and saw Xuanyuan Che standing behind her quietly with a playful smile on his face.

"It's you." Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly, but she was a little flustered. "When did you come?"

"I came when you said you didn't know my preferences." There was a hint of teasing in Xuanyuan Che's voice.

Pei Zhiyan lowered her head somewhat awkwardly and explained softly, "I didn't mean it. I just, I just really don't know what you like."

Xuanyuan Che raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked again, "Then don't you know the woman I like?"

Pei Zhiyan's cheeks flushed instantly, she lowered her head and remained silent.

"You know that I have someone in my heart, yet you still want to push me to someone else." Xuanyuan Che curled his lips and said angrily.

Pei Zhiyan had calmed down by now and said jokingly, "Since you and I are allies, I am naturally concerned about your life events. Princess Galan is of noble birth, dignified and generous, and is a rare and good match."

"Besides, if you marry Princess Galan, wouldn't we have another helper?"

Xuanyuan Che's face changed when he heard this, "Humph! So in your heart, I am just a bargaining chip!"

He got angry, threw his sleeves and left.

Pei Zhiyan was a little stunned. How could Xuanyuan Che not take a joke?

When Pei Zhiyan returned to her seat, Xuanyuan Si and the Prince of Xiliang were already chatting animatedly. The Prince of Xiliang's face was flushed and he was half drunk. He pulled Xuanyuan Si aside, and the two of them talked about all kinds of poems and songs, as if they were close friends.

Although the Prince of Xiliang is a rough man, he has a special liking for poetry and songs. He was defeated in front of Xuanyuan Che last time, but today he and Xuanyuan Si have a good relationship.

Xuanyuan Ping was not idle either. He pulled Lord Ming to toast each other. Lord Ming was a man with a big capacity for alcohol. Xuanyuan Ping took a lot of hangover medicine before attending the banquet.

Not long after, Lord Ming was drunk again, and Xuanyuan Ping's drinking party with him came to an end.

Xuanyuan Che was drinking alone, his face was gloomy, and there was a trace of barely perceptible sadness in his eyes. He stared at the wine glass quietly, as if he could see his own reflection in the transparent liquid.

The sound of Pei Zhiyan's footsteps reached his ears. He raised his head slightly and glanced at her with a hint of pride in his eyes.

Xuanyuan Che snorted softly, then picked up the wine glass and continued drinking alone.

Princess Galan raised her glass, her eyes as clear as autumn water stared at Xuanyuan Che, her voice was gentle and sweet, "Sixth Prince, drinking alone is worse than drinking with others. Let's toast to this beautiful night together."

Xuanyuan Che raised his head and glanced at Princess Galan. There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes. He nodded, smiled slightly and said, "Okay, Princess Galan, we won't go home until we are drunk tonight."

A look of joy appeared on Princess Galan's face. She pursed her red lips and drank the wine in the glass.

Xuanyuan Che also raised his glass, drank it all, and then glanced at Pei Zhiyan arrogantly again.

Pei Zhiyan was a little amused and shook her head helplessly. Xuanyuan Che was acting childish again.

Princess Nagara continued, "I have been in the capital for a few days and have not had a good look around. If the Sixth Prince is free, can you take me to see the capital?"

"I am deeply honored to have an appointment with my beautiful lady. I would like to accompany the princess to visit the prosperous scenes of the capital and enjoy the beautiful scenery together." Xuanyuan Che raised his glass and gestured.

"Thank you very much, Sixth Prince!" Princess Galan said with a sweet smile.

Pei Zhiyan picked up the wine glass in front of her, took a sip, then lowered her head in silence.

The eldest princess, who had been sitting at the head of the group, was a little surprised. Xuanyuan Che had already openly refused the marriage proposal in front of the emperor, so why did he accept Princess Galan's invitation?

Today, she had wanted to test the thoughts of these two people, but now it seemed that they were chatting enthusiastically, as if she had nothing to do. The eldest princess smiled secretly, picked up the wine glass in front of her, and took a sip.

However, Xuanyuan Che never does things according to the rules, so maybe he has other intentions.

Seeing Pei Zhiyan keeping her head down and not saying anything, Xuanyuan Ping picked up a piece of fresh fish and brought it to her, saying softly, "Yan'er, you didn't eat anything tonight. You should eat more."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly.

Seeing this, Princess Nagalan sighed, "Prince Jing is so considerate to Princess Jing."

Upon hearing this, the princess smiled faintly and said, "Prince Jing and Princess Jing have always had a deep affection for each other. This is known to everyone in our capital."

Then, the princess turned to Princess Galan and continued, "Do you know? When Prince Jing went to the south to provide disaster relief, Yan'er was worried about his safety. She ignored the danger of the epidemic and personally traveled thousands of miles to find Prince Jing. This deep affection has become a legend in the capital."

After hearing this, Princess Galan showed an even more envious expression on her face, "It turns out there is such a touching story! The relationship between Prince Jing and Princess Jing is really moving."

Pei Zhiyan lowered her head and smiled, a blush appearing on her face.

Xuanyuan Ping gently took Pei Zhiyan's hand and said modestly, "Aunt, you are too kind. Yan'er and I have known each other since childhood, so our relationship is naturally deep."

Xuanyuan Che tightly grasped the wine glass in his hand, and his knuckles faintly revealed a kind of strength. A strange emotion arose in his heart, which was jealousy and envy. He looked at the two people in front of him, and the waves in his heart were difficult to calm down.

He obviously knew her back then, and if she hadn't shown up, he would have stepped forward to stop that group of eunuchs and palace maids.

If he had known this would happen, he would have stood up at that time. Then, the two of them might not have met.

The person who would openly hold her hand in front of everyone should be him!

He put down his wine glass, snorted, and said coldly, "I don't know what there is to envy about other people's feelings."

After hearing this, Princess Galan was slightly stunned, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

At this time, Pei Zhiyan also noticed Xuanyuan Che's jealousy. She calmly withdrew her hand and quickly interrupted, "Princess, there is no need to envy others. You will definitely meet someone who treats you sincerely in the future."

Xuanyuan Che smiled faintly when he heard Pei Zhiyan's words and said, "The most difficult thing in this world is sincerity. Some things are not as simple as they seem."

Xuanyuan Ping felt a little unhappy. This sixth brother never took him seriously and he even said this about him in front of Princess Galan.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, "Sixth brother, you haven't married yet, so you can't experience the joy of marriage."
