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

"I wonder why the princess asked me to come here today?" Mother Xue asked slowly again.

"Tomorrow is the day when Concubine Xuan returns home. I asked Mother Xue to come over because I wanted to discuss the return gift with Concubine Xuan." Pei Zhiyan said modestly at this time.

Pei Zhixuan felt ashamed again. She was just a wet nurse. Was it necessary to discuss this matter with her?

Mother Xue looked as if she had just noticed Pei Zhixuan, and said to her, "Oh, I am really old and useless. It turns out that Concubine Xuan is sitting here. Please forgive me for my blurry eyes and not being able to see clearly."

"This old servant greets Concubine Xuan. Please forgive my impoliteness." Mother Xue stood up and saluted expressionlessly.

This Pei Zhixuan is just a little concubine's daughter, but she has bewitched the prince. I guess she is just a vixen. Look at her disgraceful behavior today. A concubine actually ran to the main wife's courtyard and acted wildly, and even sat in the main wife's position. It seems that she has great ambitions.

This princess is a hopeless case. A principal concubine is bullied like this by a concubine. If it gets out, it will only be a laughing stock. The two of them are sisters. I think the princess was bullied by the concubine when she was in Pei's house.

Originally, I could have turned a blind eye to the jealousy between these two people, but since it caused gossips about Prince Jing's Mansion, I could not just ignore it.

No matter what, we cannot let Prince Jing’s Mansion and the Prince become a laughing stock!

Pei Zhixuan's face was also very happy at this time, "Mother Xue, no need to be polite."

"Tomorrow is the day when Concubine Xuan returns home, and I'm thinking of preparing some gifts for her return." Pei Zhiyan said softly, "I've never returned home before, so I don't know how to arrange it. Mother Xue is an old lady from the palace, so I want to ask her to come over and discuss it with me."

Mother Xue didn't exchange pleasantries with her, but just looked at Pei Zhiyan, "What is the princess's plan?"

Pei Zhiyan frowned slightly and said worriedly, "This princess is thinking that now the streets and alleys of the capital are talking about the grand wedding of Prince Jing's mansion that day. The world's evaluation of this matter can be said to be mixed."

"The prince is currently at the center of public attention, and if he acts too high-profile, it will probably lead to endless arguments."

"Therefore, on this return trip, this princess hopes that the prince and the concubine can keep a low profile and avoid the limelight."

Mother Xue thought about it for a moment. She had heard the rumors outside in the past few days. She had watched how the prince grew up from a lonely and helpless little prince to where he is today. She knew well the pressure the prince was under.

Yes, so many eyes are staring at Prince Jing's Mansion, watching the prince's every move. If he is not careful in his actions, he will be caught by those with ulterior motives and given excuses to criticize him.

"Yes." Mother Xue took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice, "What the princess said is absolutely right."

"Originally, this princess had prepared generous gifts, but seeing the current situation, I have to keep everything simple." Pei Zhiyan said helplessly.

"Sister! How can this be?!" Pei Zhixuan shouted anxiously when she heard it.

How could this be possible? It was already unfair enough to marry the prince as a concubine. If I had to keep everything simple when I returned home, how could I gain a foothold in the circle of noble ladies in the capital? In the future, when those sisters meet, won't they laugh to death at me? !

"Concubine Xuan, since you have married into the palace, you should put Prince Jing's Mansion and the prince first in everything you do." Mother Xue said lightly.

Pei Zhixuan rolled her eyes secretly but did not dare to be arrogant. In the past few days, Mother Xu had learned about Mother Xue's identity and status in Prince Jing's Mansion from the old people in the Mansion and told her, so today she could only tolerate her for the time being.

Then, Mother Xue turned to Pei Zhiyan and said, "Since the princess is the head of the palace, the princess will be the one who makes the decisions regarding the palace's backyard affairs. There is no need to discuss this with us."

"Even so," Pei Zhiyan frowned, her tone a little embarrassed, "I am still worried that if I don't handle it properly, it will make the prince dissatisfied."

"Princess, don't worry. This is how it should be handled. If the prince is dissatisfied with this matter, I will explain and report to him. I am sure that the prince will still give me some face." Mother Xue said, her eyes sweeping across Pei Zhixuan's face intentionally or unintentionally.

After hearing this, Pei Zhixuan could no longer sit still. She was in a bad mood and tried hard to suppress her anger. She said angrily, "Sister, I'm not feeling well. I'll go back first."

After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Pei Zhiyan's response.

"Sister, sister, why do you just leave like that? We can talk about it." Pei Zhiyan pretended to be serious and shouted a few words from behind.

Pei Zhixuan quickened her pace and walked away without looking back.

"My sister has been very favored at home since she was young. What happened these days has indeed made her suffer a lot of grievances. Please don't be offended, Mother Xue." Pei Zhiyan said helplessly to Mother Xue.

I have heard for a long time that Prime Minister Pei favors his concubine over his wife. It must be true. The princess is obviously the legitimate daughter, and the concubine is just a little illegitimate daughter. She dares to be so arrogant in front of the princess. She must have been spoiled in the Pei Mansion.

Thinking of this, Mother Xue looked at Pei Zhiyan with a little more sympathy.

Pei Zhiyan flattered Mother Xue again, and then Mother Xue left in a daze.

After everyone left, Yinliu and Yinping helped Pei Zhiyan change her clothes. Pei Zhiyan had not changed the clothes that were wet by the tea, so she kept wearing them.

"Miss, your clothes are all wet. You will catch a cold." Yin Ping couldn't help but said, "I will go to the kitchen to make you a bowl of ginger soup later."

Pei Zhiyan shook her head slightly and said lightly, "It's okay."

"Miss, why do you have to suffer this injustice?" Yin Liu looked at Pei Zhiyan, her eyes full of heartache and unwillingness. She thought of Pei Zhixuan's domineering look just now, and an indescribable anger surged in her heart.

"I'm sorry, you've suffered a lot following me." Pei Zhiyan sighed softly and said softly.

"Miss, that's not what I meant," Yin Liu explained quickly.

The young lady is obviously the principal wife of Prince Jing's Mansion, but she still has to act according to the moods of the second young lady and Mother Xue and endure all this humiliation.

"I know what you mean," Pei Zhiyan whispered, "One day, they will pay the price."

Oh, in the eyes of outsiders, she is the glamorous Princess Jing, but little do they know that she is walking on thin ice in this palace. She knows in her heart that the water in this palace is very deep, and she wants to make the water as muddy as possible.
