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

On the second day, the eldest princess went to the palace to visit Princess Yongtai.

"Greetings, the eldest princess." Princess Yongtai stood up and saluted, with a barely perceptible hint of alienation in her tone.

The eldest princess nodded slightly, but was startled in her heart. Something must have happened to this child. She never called herself the eldest princess before.

"Yongtai, why did you take so long in the Sixth Prince's Mansion? What happened in the mountains that day? Your aunt is very worried about you." The eldest princess asked softly, her tone revealing her concern for Princess Yongtai.

Princess Yongtai glanced at her indifferently. After experiencing so many changes, she had matured and was no longer the naive little girl. Besides, there was a deal between them.

Princess Yongtai lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in them. She gently picked up a cup of fragrant tea, the aroma of tea filled the air, and her voice seemed calm, "It's nothing, but she escaped again. I was trapped in the mountains, but fortunately I was rescued by the Sixth Prince, so I stayed with him in the Sixth Prince's Mansion for a few more days."

The eldest princess looked at her calmly. She knew that things were not as simple as she said, and she must be hiding something from him.

However, the most important thing today is to test whether she is willing to marry the Prince of Xiliang.

"Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, Yongtai has grown up." The princess whispered softly, her eyes full of tenderness and relief. She put down the teacup in her hand and gently held Princess Yongtai's hand. The intimacy and care were like a spring breeze.

If it were in the past, Yongtai would have been moved by the princess's affection for her, but now, she felt that everything was extremely hypocritical. She calmly withdrew her hand and poured another cup of tea for the princess.

"Does Yongtai have someone he likes? Let your aunt help you choose one." The eldest princess asked jokingly.

Princess Yongtai smiled shyly, lowered her head and said, "Yongtai is still young, and doesn't know what it means to be moved."

A deep light flashed in the eyes of the eldest princess. "Yongtai, you are a smart child. You should understand that as a member of the royal family, our marriage is often not decided by ourselves. But auntie hopes that you can find your own happiness."

Princess Yongtai felt a tightness in her heart. It seemed that the eldest princess came prepared today, and it might be related to her own marriage.

She looked up at the eldest princess, with a look of doubt and confusion in her eyes.

The princess smiled lightly and asked directly, "Yongtai, what do you think of the Prince of Xiliang?"

Princess Yongtai was slightly stunned. She did not expect the princess to mention this directly. She took a deep breath, tried to keep herself calm, and replied, "Princess, the prince of Xiliang is talented and generous. He is the best in the royal family."

The princess nodded gently, "The prince of Xiliang is talented and humble, and he is indeed a rare and good match."

Princess Yongtai knew very well the eldest princess's purpose at this time. She wanted her to marry the Prince of Xiliang. Haha, now she was thinking of using her to please the Prince of Xiliang.

The Prince of Xiliang is actually a fool, and what he said just now was just a polite remark.

The princess said to herself, "Although Xiliang is a foreign country, if you marry the prince of Xiliang, after he ascends the throne, you will be the most noble woman in Xiliang."

"When that time comes, whoever you want to protect will only be a matter of a word."

Princess Yongtai lowered her head and thought to herself, oh, if there really comes a day when my second brother ascends the throne, I will bring my mother and the crown prince to Xiliang, where I will indeed be able to better protect them.

"Aunt, this matter is not a joke. Let Yongtai think about it for a few days." Princess Yongtai said with a smile.

"Yes, this matter was brought up a little suddenly. You should think about it carefully." The eldest princess chuckled and said.

From the word "Aunt", the eldest princess could tell that Princess Yongtai was already moved, so she decided to give her a few more days.

"It's getting late. I'll go back first and come back to see you in a few days."

"Goodbye, aunt." Princess Yongtai stood up, bowed and said respectfully.

After the princess left, Yongtai thought carefully again. He realized that he was no longer a virgin. Although only Pei Zhiyan and his sixth brother knew about this, if he stayed in the capital, no matter which family he married into in the future, Pei Zhiyan would have a handle on him.

If she went to Xiliang, no matter how long her arms were, she wouldn't be able to reach there.

Just as the eldest princess said, only when she becomes the Queen of Xiliang one day will she be able to truly protect her mother and her brother the Crown Prince.

Three days later, Princess Yongtai arrived at the Princess's Mansion in her usual gorgeous manner.

She was wearing an exquisite dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps, sparkling with brilliant brilliance. The exquisite hair accessories on her head, against the backdrop of the sun, looked like bright stars, making her look noble and elegant.

When she arrived, the Prince of Xiliang had been waiting for her for a long time. Upon seeing her coming, he immediately came to greet her and said, "Princess, I am sorry for not coming to greet you from afar. Please forgive me."

Princess Yongtai nodded slightly, her eyes lingering on the face of the Prince of Xiliang for a moment, then she turned to the eldest princess and Xuanyuan Si beside her, raised an elegant smile at the corner of her mouth, and said softly, "Hello, aunt, hello, second brother."

"Yongtai, you are as beautiful as a fairy in the sky today." The eldest princess praised with a smile.

Princess Yongtai smiled shyly when she heard this, like a blooming flower. She lowered her head and said softly, "Aunt, thank you for the compliment."

The four of them chatted in the hall while sipping the fragrant tea. The fragrance of tea filled the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

At this time, Mother Wang came in and said, "Princess, Commander Chen wants to see you and the Second Prince for something important."

The princess put down the teacup in her hand, a serious expression on her face. She turned to Princess Yongtai and said, "Yongtai, I have something important to discuss with your second brother. Please accompany the prince to walk around and appreciate the scenery in the palace."

Princess Yongtai nodded slightly, and the eldest princess and Xuanyuan Si walked out.

At this time, the Prince of Xiliang turned to Princess Yongtai, extended his hand and invited, "Princess, please."

Princess Yongtai followed the Prince of Xiliang to the back garden.

"Princess," Prince Xiliang suddenly stopped and turned to look at Princess Yongtai, "I believe you already know my feelings. Since the first time I saw you, I have been deeply attracted by your beauty and wisdom. I have always thought that if I could spend my life with you, it would be my greatest happiness. I wonder what you think of me?"

Princess Yongtai was slightly stunned. She knew that she came to the Princess's Mansion today because the Princess wanted to match her up with the Prince of Xiliang. However, she did not expect that the Prince of Xiliang would be so direct.

She looked up at him and said calmly, "Prince, I have long understood your feelings. I have always admired your talent and demeanor, and it is a pleasure to be with you. However, as a princess of the royal family, I cannot decide on my own marriage."
