I died tragically in my previous life, and I want to be an empress in my next life
Chapter 45: She's Pretty
Liu was a little surprised to hear what Chen said, but she quickly realized that since Princess Jing had invited her and her daughter here today, she must have the intention of getting married.
Although Pei Xiangye's status and position are suitable for Yue'e, he is a widower after all, and is much older than Yue'e. However, she also understands that Yue'e is now old and it is not easy to find a suitable family. If she delays any longer, she can only marry into those small families.
Liu seemed to see the Third Madam's concerns, and she said, "Third Madam, the Pei Mansion is also a scholarly family with a simple population, only three concubines, and no other children except Princess Jing and the concubine. Prime Minister Pei is also a very talented person, and he is a good match for Miss Cui."
Mrs. Liu continued, "Although Prime Minister Pei is a little older than Miss Cui, he is a mature and stable person. He is more considerate and caring than those young men. After Miss Cui marries him, she will definitely be taken care of and protected by him, and will not suffer any grievances."
"Princess, what do you think?" At this time, Liu asked Pei Zhiyan again.
Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly, "This princess naturally admires someone as outstanding as Miss Cui. If she marries him, she will definitely add a lot of glory to the Pei Mansion."
Chen followed with a smile and said, "Third Madam, you see, the princess is also very satisfied with Miss Cui. When Miss Cui marries into the Pei Mansion, she will be the mistress of the house. If she gives birth to a big fat boy, her life will be perfect."
Hearing this, Liu was also somewhat tempted. Indeed, although Prime Minister Pei was old and a widower, he had a daughter like Princess Jing and was related to the General's Mansion by marriage. He was considered a wealthy and powerful family in the capital. Princess Jing and the General's Mansion were both very satisfied with their daughter, so there would be more support for her daughter to marry into the Pei Mansion.
Prime Minister Pei has several concubines in the backyard. I heard that there is a concubine named Yun in the mansion who is very powerful. But if she is really that powerful, then Lin of the Pei mansion has been dead for many years and she has never been made the wife. No matter how powerful such a person is, she is just a concubine.
The Pei family now has neither a legitimate son nor a illegitimate son. If Yue'e can give them a legitimate son, they won't have to worry about their status in the family.
Liu calmly picked up the teacup and looked at Liu, took a sip, and then said, "Madam, whether these two are suitable or not depends on the opinions of the parties involved. If they are really suitable, then it would be a good thing."
After hearing what Liu said, Liu gradually put aside her worries and said, "Madam is right. I still need to discuss this matter with my daughter."
Pei Zhiyan said at this time, "Then this princess will wait for the letter from the Third Madam."
Liu bowed slightly to Pei Zhiyan, "Thank you, Princess, for your kindness."
"We are all family, so there is no need to be polite, Madam Third." Pei Zhiyan smiled.
"If Miss Cui and the Prime Minister's marriage is successful, we will all become juniors of the Third Lady." Chen said with a smile.
When Liu heard this, she looked a little embarrassed and said shyly, "Mrs. Lin is good at telling jokes."
Liu stretched out her hand and scratched Chen, saying angrily, "You are so unruly."
After saying that, several people laughed softly.
Here, Lin Ruyin took Cui Yue'e to the back garden of Prince Jing's Mansion. They chatted and laughed along the way, talking about some interesting topics. As soon as they walked to a corridor, they ran into Pei Zhixuan.
Lin Ruyin has always looked down on Pei Zhixuan, thinking that she was too pretentious and always pretended to be noble, which was very unpleasant. When she saw Pei Zhixuan coming over, her face suddenly darkened.
Cui Yue'e noticed the change in the atmosphere and asked cautiously, "Ms. Lin, what's wrong?"
Lin Ruyin snorted and said coldly, "It's that annoying Pei Zhixuan again."
Although they were somewhat reluctant, since they had already met, there was no way to avoid it. Lin Ruyin and Cui Yue'e could only bite the bullet and walk towards them.
Pei Zhixuan, on the other hand, looked arrogant. She spoke first, her tone revealing arrogance and contempt, "Cousin Ruyin, long time no see."
This Lin Ruyin has never looked down on me and has always made things difficult for me. In the past, she was the eldest daughter of the general's mansion, so I was inevitably inferior to her. But today, I am the concubine of Prince Jing's mansion, so I must put a damper on her arrogance.
Lin Ruyin smiled contemptuously, "I only have one cousin, the princess. I don't dare to be called my cousin."
At this time, Xiao Cui stepped forward and said, "Ms. Lin, why don't you show respect to the concubine?"
Lin Ruyin glanced at her with disdain, "Why should I bow?"
Xiao Cui was so angry at her attitude that her face turned red, "You..."
Cui Yue'e, who was standing by, quickly pulled Lin Ruyin's sleeve, slightly bent her knees, and respectfully saluted Pei Zhixuan, "Meetings, Concubine!"
Xiao Cui whispered something beside Pei Zhixuan. Pei Zhixuan waved her hand, signaling Xiao Cui to leave, and then asked Cui Yueniang, "Who are you?"
"I am Cui Yue'e from Minister Cui's mansion." Cui Yue'e answered respectfully.
Pei Zhixuan slowly walked up to Cui Yueniang, her eyes revealing a sharp light, looking her up and down, and her tone revealed a hint of disdain, "Are you Cui Yue'e?"
Cui Yue'e smiled slightly, "It is you, my lady."
Pei Zhixuan snorted coldly, with a hint of contempt in her eyes, as if she was looking at a worthless sparrow, "She is quite pretty."
The corner of her mouth curled up with a hint of sneer, and she stepped forward to hook Cui Yue'e's lower horse, and then said sinisterly, "I just don't know if you have the ability to do it."
Cui Yue'e couldn't help but feel a little confused. What on earth was this concubine trying to test? She didn't seem to have any grudges against this concubine, but she could sense a strong hostility from her, as if she was very dissatisfied with her.
She was still speculating secretly, but Lin Ruyin pulled her up and said coldly to Pei Zhixuan, "I will not disturb the concubine's leisure. I will take my leave."
After Lin Ruyin finished speaking, she didn't wait for Pei Zhixuan to respond and took Cui Yue'e away.
Lin Ruyin learned from Liu the purpose of coming to Prince Jing's Mansion today. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that Pei Zhixuan would make things difficult for Cui Yue'e, so she quickly pulled her away. So what if she was just a concubine? She was not afraid of her.
Cui Yue'e couldn't help but look back at Pei Zhixuan, but saw that she was looking at her with hatred. Her heart trembled and she felt goose bumps all over her body.
