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

Yin Liu then said to Pei Zhiyan nervously, "Princess, did I say too much?"

Pei Zhiyan just leaned back in her chair, looking lazy, and smiled gently, "You did a good job."

Yin Liu was stunned, but a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.

When she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past, the princess protected the second young lady everywhere and would not let herself say a word bad about her. Now, she has to hand over the prince whom she loves so much and let the second young lady enter the mansion with the courtesy of a legal wife.

There were rumors that the princess was a fool, but she refused to listen and remained devoted to them.

While Yin Liu was in a daze, Pei Zhiyan spoke to the maids in the room in a calm voice, "Yin Liu, you all followed me in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, so from now on, you should call me Miss in private."

"Yes, miss." Several maids answered in unison.

Yin Liu looked at Pei Zhiyan with some confusion. The young lady was a little different today. Not only did she speak and act decisively and efficiently, but her eyes were also much clearer and brighter, as if she had become a different person.

Pei Zhixuan was overjoyed when she heard the matchmaker say that the sedan chair would soon arrive at the gate of Prince Jing's mansion. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and her heartbeat accelerated when she thought about meeting her lover.

Although she is the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she is just a concubine's daughter. In terms of status, she is not worthy of Xuanyuan Ping in any way. But with Pei Zhiyan paving the way, everything is possible.

She was well aware of Xuanyuan Ping's ambition and intelligence. In just three years, Xuanyuan Ping relied on the power of the Zhenbei General's Mansion to leap from an insignificant prince to a strong contender for the throne. Such an achievement was rare among many princes.

Xuanyuan Ping didn't love Pei Zhiyan at all, he even hated her very much, he just wanted to use her and was just playing a trick. And this silly sister of his used to obey him, when he entered the palace, who had the final say in this palace, wasn't it obvious?

Thinking of her future life in this palace, Pei Zhixuan couldn't help but feel proud. The corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a proud smile on her face. From now on, this palace will be her world!

Before she woke up from the dream, the sedan chair stopped and there was a noisy sound coming from the front.

Pei Zhixuan gently lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and asked with some dissatisfaction, "Mother Xu, what happened? Why did you stop?"

Mother Xu was Pei Zhixuan's dowry nanny. When she heard Pei Zhixuan's voice, she turned around immediately, looking a little nervous, "Miss, I will go over and take a look."

Mother Xu walked up quickly and negotiated with the butler of the palace. Not long after, she hurried back and reported to Pei Zhixuan, "Miss, the butler of the palace asked us to go in through the side door."

Pei Zhixuan was stunned and frowned. Go in through the side door? What does this mean? Although she is a concubine, it is agreed that she should be married with the same ceremony as the main wife. Should she go in through the main door?

"Did you make a mistake?" Pei Zhixuan asked in a low voice.

"The housekeeper said it was the princess's intention." Mother Xu replied.

"Sister?" Pei Zhixuan asked doubtfully.

A few days ago, her elder sister had assured her that all arrangements had been made, and that although she was only a concubine, she would be married as a wife. Even today's gorgeous wedding dress and sedan were prepared by her elder sister herself, so why did she want to go in through the side door now?

"Miss, the auspicious time is almost here, what should we do?" Seeing Pei Zhixuan silent, Mother Xu couldn't help but ask anxiously.

Pei Zhixuan took a deep breath, calmed her inner turmoil, and replied angrily, "Let them ask the prince what he means."

She clenched her fingers into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms. She thought her sister really wanted to help her and let her be with Xuanyuan Ping and become a happy woman. However, now it seems that this is just a superficial show by her sister.

Pei Zhixuan couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Humph, her sister played this hand really well. But she didn't think about it. She was not someone who could be bullied so easily. If she couldn't even stand such a small thing, how could she gain a foothold in the palace and fight with her sister?

She didn't believe that Xuanyuan Ping would let her go in through the side door. After all, her relationship with Xuanyuan Ping was not one or two days old. If she insisted on not going in, Xuanyuan Ping would definitely stand up and let her go in through the main door.

In the banquet hall, a steward hurriedly walked up behind Xuanyuan Ping and whispered a few words in his ear. Xuanyuan Ping's smile froze for a moment, and he walked towards the backyard.

"What do you mean, Princess?" Xuanyuan Ping's questioning voice was heard before anyone even stepped into the room. There was a hint of confusion and dissatisfaction in his tone, and even a hint of anger.

At this moment, the entire backyard fell into silence, and the servants were all watching this scene nervously. Everyone knew that the princess had asked the concubine to come in through the side door, and at this time, it was obvious that the prince came to settle accounts with the princess.

Now is not the time to tear her face with Xuanyuan Ping. Pei Zhiyan suppressed her nausea and smiled lightly. Her bright eyes were like stars. She opened her red lips and said, "Your Highness, the auspicious time is coming soon. Why are you here now?"

"You also know that the auspicious time is about to arrive, why don't you let the concubine in?" Xuanyuan Ping frowned and asked coldly.

Pei Zhiyan was slightly stunned, but soon revealed an innocent look and said softly, "Your Highness, I didn't stop the concubine from coming in. It was the concubine who didn't come in herself."

"Didn't we agree before that the concubine would enter through the main door? Why do we suddenly have to go through the side door?" Xuanyuan Ping's face became increasingly gloomy, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

"Xuan'er is your sister, and she has done a lot for me. It is unfair for her to be a concubine. If I don't treat her as a principal wife, I can't bear it."

"Besides, it was you who proposed to marry her according to the etiquette of a principal wife. Why are you going back on your word now?"

Pei Zhiyan looked at Xuanyuan Ping's questioning expression with a hint of smile on her lips. She sneered in her heart, "Oh, he really couldn't bear it. He really couldn't bear it. Why didn't he just marry her?"

I thought these two were connected because of my relationship, but I didn't expect that they had been secretly in contact for a long time. He said Pei Zhixuan had done a lot for him. What did she do for him? Under my nose, I was completely unaware.

Even if she had given a lot for him, was it as much as what she had given him? In her last life, she had given him her heart.

Haha, with my IQ in my previous life, I ended up with a tragic death, it’s not a loss!

Fortunately, God has given me a chance to live again. In this life, I must have some fun with these two people.
