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

Seeing that the auspicious time was approaching and most of the guests had arrived, Pei Zhiyan, surrounded by her maids, went to the hall to greet the guests.

Pei Zhiyan wore a gorgeous light green dress with delicate lotus patterns on the soft silk fabric. The dress fit her body like a green leaf, perfectly outlining her figure, and at the same time, it was as natural as a spring. In the sunlight, the hem of the dress swayed gently, like a green lotus.

Her carefully groomed hair was tied into an elegant bun, with an exquisite golden hairpin inserted diagonally. The golden hairpin was inlaid with a crystal ruby, which was as dazzling as the last drop of nectar in the morning dew. Her makeup was elegant and delicate, and her red lips were slightly pursed, as if she was smiling, showing a unique charm.

The most eye-catching thing is the pair of emerald green jade bracelets on her wrists. The jade bracelets are warm in color, like two emerald green bamboo leaves wrapped around her wrists, forming a sharp contrast with the long skirt.

Everyone was stunned. The princess usually wore heavy makeup and dressed up gorgeously, looking gorgeous but very vulgar. But today she only put on a little makeup, which showed her natural beauty even more.

In the past, Aunt Yun always told her that girls should be as beautiful as flowers, so that they can win the love of men. Therefore, she always let her wear bright red and green.

Thinking about it now, it was really ridiculous that I actually believed her lies and made myself a well-known vulgar fool in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing.

Pei Zhiyan greeted everyone warmly, her face always filled with a faint smile. She walked past every guest, talking to them politely and kindly, with a calm look and a graceful demeanor.

At this time, Xuanyuan Ping also came over. When he glanced at her, a trace of trance flashed in his eyes, but he quickly put on his signature gentlemanly smile again.

When Pei Zhiyan saw Xuanyuan Ping coming over, she couldn't help but feel angry. If possible, she really wanted to cut him into pieces on the spot and grind his bones to ashes!

But reason told her that she couldn't do that, so she suppressed her anger and tried to calm herself down.

I still remember that before she got married, her grandmother reminded her that he didn't like her at all. He only cared about the power of the general's mansion and her generous dowry. But even so, so what? She was willing to be used by him, even if she was just a nominal wife, she was happy.

She had fallen in love with him a long time ago. Ever since she caught a glimpse of him at a palace banquet many years ago, there had been no room for anything else in her eyes. So when Pei Zhixuan encouraged her to climb up the rockery to take a peek, she did not hesitate at all.

Afterwards, she begged her grandmother to help her fulfill her wish and become the mistress of Prince Jing's Mansion.

Xuanyuan Ping greeted the guests one by one with a smile on his face, and the atmosphere was very lively. He walked up to Pei Zhiyan, lowered his voice, and said gently: "Princess, you have worked really hard today."

Pei Zhiyan raised her eyes slightly and glanced at him indifferently, her voice revealing a sense of coldness and alienation, "This is my job, Your Highness, don't worry about it." Having said that, she turned her gaze away and no longer looked at him.

Xuanyuan Ping was stunned. In the past, if he smiled at her, she would be so happy as if she had found a treasure. But today, she was so indifferent and had no reaction at all.

But on second thought, today was the day she was going to marry Pei Zhixuan, so it was normal for her to feel uncomfortable. Which woman wouldn't be jealous? What's more, she loved him madly.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Ping smiled secretly in his heart and prepared to greet other guests.

Pei Zhiyan was in a daze when she heard a male voice, "Congratulations, brother and sister-in-law!"

It turned out to be the Sixth Prince Xuanyuan Zhe. Xuanyuan Zhe was smiling with an elusive light in his eyes and a cynical look.

Pei Zhiyan frowned slightly. She didn't have a good impression of the Sixth Prince in her previous life. However, the Sixth Prince in her previous life was smart. After being named queen, he asked to go to his fiefdom and become an idle prince. He never cared about state affairs again.

Xuanyuan Zhe didn't seem to notice her expression, still smiling, and said, "My royal brother is so happy! Today, he finally got what he wanted and married the woman he loved. I came here specially to congratulate you, my royal brother, and I wish you a long and happy life together!"

Hearing this, Pei Zhiyan sneered in her heart. It turned out that everyone knew that Xuanyuan Ping's real crush was Pei Zhixuan, but she was kept in the dark like a fool.

At this point, Xuanyuan Zhe looked up at Pei Zhiyan again, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he said playfully, "The emperor's sister-in-law looks so beautiful today, my brother is so lucky to have the two beauties of the Pei family by his side, I am so envious!"

Pei Zhiyan's face changed and her brows knitted slightly. She felt Xuanyuan Zhe's unscrupulous eyes staring at her. This Sixth Prince was always arrogant.

"Sixth brother, you need to be careful with your words and actions. Don't forget your identity!" Pei Zhiyan said seriously.

Xuanyuan Ping was trying to be evasive at this time and said, "Sixth brother is always good at joking. Come on, I have a few jars of good wine. I'll drink a few glasses with you."

After saying that, he took Xuanyuanzhe's hand without saying anything and walked towards the guest seats.

At this time, Xuanyuan Ping had just gained some influence in the court thanks to the power of the Pei family and the Zhenbei General's Mansion. He did not dare to be arrogant in front of a prince like Xuanyuan Zhe, who had been arrogant and domineering since childhood.

Seeing Xuanyuan Ping's almost fawning expression towards Xuanyuan Zhe, Pei Zhiyan felt sick. She didn't know what she saw in him in her previous life? He was just a good-looking guy!

When I love you, you are as bright as the moon and the clear sky. When I don’t love you, you are worse than shit!

Once this person wakes up, he can control his own destiny!

Xuanyuanzhe glanced at Pei Zhiyan imperceptibly as he walked, with a meaningful smile on his lips.

Pei Zhiyan cursed inwardly in anger, "You rascal!"

Pei Zhiyan had just sat down in the main hall and was about to drink a cup of tea when the palace steward came to report, "Princess, the concubine's sedan chair will be arriving at the palace gate soon."

"Well, carry the concubine's sedan chair into the mansion through the side door." Pei Zhiyan said calmly, but there was no room for maneuver in her words.

The palace manager was stunned, "This......"

The wedding was arranged by the princess herself, and all the procedures were confirmed by her. Originally, they were supposed to enter through the main door, so why was it changed to the side door?

At this time, Yin Liu stepped forward and said, "Of course a concubine has to go through the side door. Who would come in through the main door? A concubine, not only does she ride in a big red sedan chair, but she also has to go through the main door. Wouldn't it be a joke if this got out?"

"Yeah," Pei Zhiyan put down the teacup in her hand and responded lightly.

Upon seeing this, the manager bowed his head, responded, and hurried out.
