I died tragically in my previous life, and I want to be an empress in my next life
Chapter 30: After all, the prince has the final say in this palace
Pei Zhixuan pouted even higher, and stared at the direction where Mother Xue disappeared with a look of dissatisfaction and unwillingness. She was just a servant, but she really thought of herself as the prince's biological mother. She was so arrogant!
Pei Zhiyan glanced at her, but smiled softly and said, "Sister, although it seems that I am the boss of this palace, in fact, the prince has the final say. I am just doing my best to work for the prince. If you have any objections to the monthly allowance, why not see what the prince means?"
Hearing this, Pei Zhixuan frowned and snorted coldly, "Humph! Since my sister has said so, don't blame me for bothering the prince over such a small matter."
Having said that, she stood up and left angrily, leaving behind a trail of anger and dissatisfaction.
Pei Zhiyan looked at her back, smiled faintly, picked up the teacup and continued to sip tea.
After Pei Zhixuan walked away, Yinping and Yinliu came over to clean up the tea.
"Miss, judging from the look on Second Miss's face, this matter will definitely be reported to the prince." Yin Liu frowned and said worriedly.
"Hehe, I'm just worried that she won't tell the prince about it." Pei Zhiyan chuckled and said with a hint of sarcasm.
Yin Ping and Yin Liu looked at each other, and then Yin Ping said, "Miss, what do you mean by this? If the prince knew, considering how much he dotes on the second young lady now, he would definitely blame you."
Pei Zhiyan smiled calmly, "Do you know why I asked Mother Xue to come over to have breakfast with me today?"
"We don't know." Yinping and Yinliu said.
Pei Zhiyan smiled calmly and said, "You will know later."
Yin Liu was still confused, but Yin Ping patted her head as if she had suddenly realized something, and said with a smile, "Just work hard and stop thinking about it. From now on, just do whatever the young lady tells you to do."
Yinliu is a straightforward and silly girl, but Yinping is a thoughtful one. The young lady wants to cut down the expenses of the second young lady. If she cuts directly, the second young lady will definitely report it to the prince, causing his dissatisfaction.
However, today, Mother Xue saw with her own eyes how extravagant and arrogant the Second Miss was. Mother Xue will definitely say a few more words in front of the prince. In this way, if the Second Miss goes to complain to the prince, the prince has always respected Mother Xue, and he will definitely not only listen to the Second Miss's one-sided story.
Pei Zhiyan picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
In the previous life, Mother Xue stood on Pei Zhixuan's side. Pei Zhixuan was protected by Xuanyuan Ping and Mother Xue in Prince Jing's Mansion, so even she, the princess, had to bow her head in front of her.
In this life, we must break up the two of them in advance and not give them the chance to form an alliance.
When she returned to Yuxiangxie and saw Pei Zhixuan looking very angry, Mother Xu knew that she must have run into a problem in Yimeyuan.
The eldest lady is no longer the eldest lady in Pei Mansion. Since the second lady entered the palace, the eldest lady's attitude has changed a lot. Although she is very indulgent to the second lady on the surface, in fact, she has been secretly stumbling the second lady.
Hey, it seems that the eldest lady is ready to start torturing the second lady...
Mother Xu poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Pei Zhixuan, "Second Miss, have a cup of tea first to calm down."
Pei Zhixuan took the teacup and drank it in one breath, feeling a little calmer. She put down the teacup, frowned, looked at Mother Xu, and said angrily, "Big sister is just married into the palace first, but she acts like the mistress of the house all day long and tries to control me everywhere!"
"Concubine Xuan, we must not underestimate the princess. People in the world are always superficial. Although the princess's behavior as a mistress may seem hypocritical to us, it is the standard that the world praises. Concubine Xuan should learn more from the princess." Mother Xu advised Pei Zhixuan earnestly.
When Pei Zhixuan heard this, she showed obvious contempt and disdain on her face, and said coldly: "What a mistress's manner, it's simply hypocritical! She doesn't act sincerely at all. If she can treat me sincerely, I can learn from her. But I will never be able to learn to be as hypocritical as her!"
Mother Xu shook her head helplessly. The second young lady was still too young and impatient.
At this time, Pei Zhixuan sighed and said helplessly, "Hey, Mother Xu, how can the monthly allowance be enough to cover the expenses of our hospital?"
Pei Zhixuan was not short of money. After all, when she married into the palace, her aunt and father prepared a lot of dowry for her. But she was used to spending lavishly. When she was in the Pei Mansion, her food, clothing and expenses were no worse than those of the daughters of real wealthy families, and her father never restricted her spending.
However, now her monthly expenses have become a fixed amount, which naturally makes her unhappy.
"Concubine Xuan, the key to this matter lies in the prince's attitude." Mother Xu frowned and said softly.
What is the prince's attitude? Yes, in the end, the prince has the final say in this palace.
Thinking of this, Pei Zhixuan couldn't help but feel a little happy. With the prince's favor towards her, he would definitely not cut back on her expenses.
No matter how much Pei Zhiyan emphasized the rules, she still had to listen to the prince in the end. After all, in this palace, rules and power coexisted, and the prince was the center of power here.
In the evening, after Xuanyuan Ping finished his official business, he came to Yuxiangxie. These days, he would go to Yuxiangxie whenever he had time, and basically ate and slept in this courtyard.
When Xuanyuan Ping arrived, Pei Zhiyan was sitting in the yard with Mother Xu and a group of maids and servants, enjoying the flowers, talking and laughing.
Pei Zhixuan was wearing a gorgeous pink dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her movements. The dress was embroidered with a few white peonies, which contrasted with the surrounding flowers. Her hair was simply combed into a bun with a jade hairpin inserted in it, and her smile was brighter than the flowers.
Xuanyuan Ping couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he saw this scene. Only here could he feel unprecedented tranquility and comfort. He could hear the sound of flowers blooming in the yard, smell the fragrance of flowers in the air, and see Pei Zhixuan's beautiful figure. All the troubles and worries were left behind.
Seeing Xuanyuan Ping coming, everyone stood up, saluted, and tactfully left.
