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

"Your Highness, the ministers in the court are like bees clinging to meat, all driven by profit. Whenever there is a slight disturbance, they will change their attitude and join the powerful backers."

"Your Majesty has always disliked the princes getting too close to the court officials. I think it would be better for my grandfather to contact these people."

"Grandfather has always been consistent and has always supported you. With him around, those people naturally dare not act rashly. As long as grandfather supports you, why worry that no one in the court supports you?" Pei Zhiyan raised her bright eyes slightly and said firmly.

"Yes, as long as General Lin supports me, I will have half the support in the court." Xuanyuan Ping looked at Pei Zhiyan deeply.

Pei Zhiyan's mind was as clear as a mirror at this moment. Xuanyuan Ping was sure that she loved him madly and never concealed his ambition in front of her.

Love or not is just a thought away, loyalty or betrayal is just a thought away. The contest between us has just begun. In this life, I must let you experience a brand new emotional journey. It is a feeling of falling from the clouds. Pei Zhiyan sneered in her heart.

The two of them were speechless for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

At this time, Pei Zhiyan changed the subject and asked with pretended concern, "Your Highness came back so late, I guess he hasn't had dinner yet. Do you need me to arrange it for you?"

She laughed in her heart after she finished speaking. She knew that he would definitely not stay, so she said this on purpose. These days, he and Pei Zhixuan were in love with each other and couldn't bear to be apart. How could he have dinner with someone he hated the most?

Xuanyuan Ping looked at Pei Zhiyan's face. To be honest, this woman was not only extremely beautiful, but also extremely smart. She was indeed the best candidate for the mistress of the palace. It was a pity... If she had not forced the marriage, how could he marry her? And how could he allow her to be the principal wife of the Jingwang Palace in order to win over General Lin?

However, the one he loved in his heart was always Pei Zhixuan, the kind, gentle, and lovely woman who always made him feel at ease and comfortable. He liked her innocence, her gentleness and thoughtfulness, and even more her endless kindness and love.

In the past, he was weak and helpless, and was bullied everywhere. As a prince, he was bullied by a group of eunuchs and palace maids in the palace. The ridicule and contempt made him feel heartbroken. He endured it silently, and kept telling himself that as long as he grew up, he could get rid of this humiliating life.

However, when he grew up, he thought he could control his own destiny, but reality once again dealt him a heavy blow. Even with power and ability, he still could not escape the shackles of power.

And if he had not married her, it is estimated that he would not have been able to establish Wang Kaifu so early. Although many court officials were very respectful to him in the court, it was only because he now had the power of the General's Mansion behind him.

Thinking of this, a feeling of disgust welled up in his heart again. He hated those who had brought him endless pain and humiliation.

He didn't want to stay in Yime Garden any longer. If it weren't for General Lin's matter, he would never set foot in Yime Garden.

She actually wanted me to stay here for dinner, what a pipe dream!

"Princess, you seem quite tired today. It must be because you have to deal with many affairs in the mansion. I don't want to disturb you too much. Please go to bed early." Xuanyuan Ping said in a concerned but restrained tone.

Pei Zhiyan bowed slightly, lowered her eyebrows and said graciously, "Your Highness is so considerate, I am grateful to you. Since Your Highness is so considerate, I will not keep you any longer, I will send you off respectfully."

"Yeah," Xuanyuan Ping responded calmly, then turned and left.

Xuanyuan Ping left Yime Garden, breathed a sigh of relief, and went straight to Yuxiang Pavilion.

Fortunately, Xuan'er also married into the palace. Now only Yuxiangxie can bring him a little warmth. Thinking of Pei Zhixuan's gentle, considerate and understanding appearance, Xuanyuan Ping couldn't help but speed up his pace.

He stepped into the gate of Yuxiangxie and a familiar fragrance hit him in the face, instantly soothing his restless heart. The candlelight was flickering in the room, and Pei Zhixuan was waiting for his arrival.

"Miss, the prince really went to Yuxiangxie as soon as he left the courtyard." Yinliu said angrily as soon as she entered the room.

Pei Zhiyan smiled indifferently and shook the teacup in her hand, causing the tea in the cup to sway slightly. She glanced at Yin Liu, shook her head gently, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

Now I no longer care about them. Let them be happy. When their love is strong, I will let them reveal their true colors little by little. That will be exciting.

Seeing that Pei Zhiyan had no reaction, Yin Liu continued, "Miss, why don't you care at all?"

Seeing that the young lady was not favored, the servants in the mansion who were good at changing their attitude according to the situation, all rushed to flatter the man in Yuxiangxie, either openly or secretly.

"Okay, Yinliu, don't be angry." Pei Zhiyan said lightly, "Their feelings are strong now. Besides, it's a good thing that our prince now has a woman he truly loves."

Yin Liu looked at Pei Zhiyan in confusion. The prince and the concubine had been inseparable these days. As a maid, she felt sorry for the young lady. How could the young lady still smile? What was wrong with the young lady now? Why wasn't she angry at all?

"Miss, the prince dotes on the second lady, is this a good thing?" Yin Liu looked at Pei Zhiyan with some confusion.

Pei Zhiyan ignored Yin Liu's doubts, stood up leisurely, and walked to the window. The sunset outside the window had gradually set, and the sky appeared a light orange-red.

Yin Liu looked at Pei Zhiyan's back in confusion. She didn't know what the young lady was thinking. But she knew that the young lady was no longer the young lady who was manipulated by others. The young lady had her own reasons for doing this.

Yinliu sighed, turned around and walked out to help the young lady prepare dinner.

After eating and drinking, Pei Zhiyan happily picked up a cup of hot tea, blew it gently, took a sip, and then asked calmly, "How is the person I brought back to the mansion today?"

"Miss, the beggar is fine now." Yin Liu continued, "The doctor said he had typhoid fever and prescribed some medicine. Someone was sent to get some back and he has taken it."

"When I came over there, I heard that he had woken up."

"Let's go and take a look." Pei Zhiyan put down the teacup in her hand, stood up and said.

Yin Liu followed behind her and couldn't help but remind her, "Miss, that beggar is dirty and smelly, you shouldn't go over there."

"It's okay, let's go over and take a look." Pei Zhiyan waved her hand gently, signaling Yin Liu not to say more.
