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

"I'm not married yet," Xuanyuan Che said proudly, his eyes determined, "but if I were married, I would definitely let her live the happiest life!"

Xuanyuan Ping couldn't help but smile faintly when he heard this. He looked at Xuanyuan Che with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "Then I would like to congratulate Princess Galan."

"You!" When Xuanyuan Che heard this, his face changed and anger surged in his heart.

He knew clearly that he had refused the marriage proposal to Princess Galan in front of his father, yet he still said such words in such an occasion!

Princess Galan blushed and lowered her head shyly.

At this time, Xuanyuan Si also came over and said in a somewhat joking tone, "So, Sixth Prince has a special liking for Princess Galan?"

When Xuanyuan Che heard this, he became even more furious. He glared at Xuanyuan Si and suppressed his anger, "Princess Jialan is both talented and beautiful. This prince cannot afford to marry her!"

He didn't want to argue with Xuanyuan Si on this occasion, nor did he want to embarrass Princess Galan.

After saying that, Xuanyuan Che turned around and left, leaving Xuanyuan Si and Princess Galan looking at each other in bewilderment.

Xuanyuan Si looked at Xuanyuan Che's departing back, a smile on his face, "Sixth brother is shy."

"Princess Galan, my sixth brother is a shy person, please don't be offended."

Princess Galan smiled shyly, lowered her head and said nothing.

After the banquet, when they came out of the banquet hall, Xuanyuan Ping and Pei Zhiyan walked side by side.

Suddenly, a little maid hurriedly came over with tea. She looked a little flustered and said, "Greetings to Prince Jing, and Princess Jing."

"No need to be so polite." Xuanyuan Ping responded gently.

However, just as Pei Zhiyan passed by her, the little maid suddenly tilted her body and seemed to lose her balance. The tea on the tray instantly poured out and splashed right onto Pei Zhiyan's gorgeous dress.

"Ah!" Pei Zhiyan screamed and instinctively covered her dress with her hands, but it was too late. The tea flowed down her dress, wetting it all.

The little maid turned pale with fear and knelt on the ground begging for mercy, "Princess, please spare me. I didn't mean it."

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Ping immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, "Yan'er, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but it's a pity about the dress." Pei Zhiyan frowned as she looked at the dress that was splashed with tea.

Xuanyuan Ping turned his head to look at the little maid, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, "What crime should you be punished for being so careless?"

The little maid was so scared that she trembled all over and kowtowed repeatedly, "Prince Jing, please spare my life. This servant really didn't mean it."

Seeing this, Pei Zhiyan gently pulled Xuanyuan Ping's sleeve, signaling him not to pursue the matter too much.

She said to the little maid, "Get up and take me to change my clothes."

The little maid stood up with tears of gratitude and hurriedly led the way, "Thank you, Princess. I will take you to change your dress right away."

In wealthy families, women would often prepare one or two sets of replacement clothes when going out, just in case.

Yinliu went to get her some clean clothes.

Pei Zhiyan said to Xuanyuan Ping, "Your Highness, why don't you go to the carriage and wait for me first? I will go over after I change my clothes."

The wine served at today's banquet is the 30-year-old daughter's red wine treasured by the Princess's Mansion. It tastes light and mellow at the beginning, but has a strong aftertaste.

Xuanyuan Ping had drunk a lot with Master Ming today. Although he took hangover pills before coming, he was still a little tipsy. After hearing what Pei Zhiyan said, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I will go first."

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Che, who was in the dark corner, showed a smug smile on his face.

Xuanyuan Ping walked through many twists and turns to a corner of the garden, when suddenly, a swarm of bees attacked him.

The attendants waved their fans to drive away the bees, but Xuanyuan Ping was still stung by the bees. His face turned pale in an instant, his body swayed a few times, and he almost fell down.

Xuanyuan Ping just felt a little stinging in his jaw, so he applied some anti-swelling and anti-itching lotion. However, after returning to the palace, his entire chin was swollen and he couldn't even open his mouth.

Pei Zhiyan looked at him and secretly laughed in her heart, but she still asked with concern, "What kind of bee is this? Why is it so powerful? Is it poisonous?"

Doctor Liu replied solemnly, "Princess, these bees came from southern Xinjiang. Their poison needles are special, but they are not life-threatening. They will just cause swelling of the skin and flesh, and it will take at least several months to heal."

Xuanyuan Ping's heart sank as he listened. The bee could have stung anywhere else, but on his cheek. It would take months to heal, so wouldn't he be unable to leave the house for months?

"Why would such a poisonous bee suddenly appear?" Pei Zhiyan asked in confusion.

"Many of the flower seedlings in the Princess's mansion garden were purchased from the south. It is estimated that some young bees were mixed in with them when they arrived, and they sneaked into the garden and settled down, and have not been discovered yet." Doctor Liu replied.

This is definitely not just a coincidence, Pei Zhiyan thought to herself. She then thought about the way back. If her clothes hadn't been wet, she would have passed by there with Xuanyuan Ping, and she would probably have been injured by the bees.

It can be seen that the person should be targeting Xuanyuan Ping. Thinking of this, she already understood about 70% of it.

Xuanyuan Ping was also thinking, this happened in the Princess's residence, could it be that the Princess and Xuanyuan Si were intentionally dealing with him? However, he and the two of them were not so stupid as to fight in their own territory, could it be that he was just unlucky? !

eldest princess mansion

"Aunt, what happened today was not an accident. It seems to be done by my sixth brother." Xuanyuan Si walked into the eldest princess' room with a serious expression and a low voice.

The princess frowned upon hearing this, "This little Liuzi is becoming more and more troublesome."

The incident happened in their own house, so they had to give Xuanyuan Ping a reasonable explanation no matter what. However, they did not have any solid evidence to prove that Xuanyuan Che was indeed responsible.

The princess knew why Xuanyuan Che targeted Xuanyuan Ping, and it was probably related to Pei Zhiyan.

He actually dared to cause trouble in the Princess's Mansion. It seems that I have to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson.

The silence of the night was broken by a subtle sound of breaking through the air, and a dart shot into Pei Zhiyan's boudoir like a meteor. Pei Zhiyan woke up from her sleep, her heartbeat accelerated instantly, but then she calmed down, walked to the table and picked up the note on the dart.

Pei Zhiyan picked up the note and saw only one word on it - "Humph!"

She was very familiar with the handwriting on the note. It was an arrogant and domineering "humph", with sharp strokes and imposing aura.

She laughed secretly in her heart. Now, she knew completely who was responsible for what happened to Xuanyuan Ping today.
