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

That day, Cui Yue'e sent someone to deliver a letter back to the Cui Mansion. When Aunt Yun sent more food, Cui Yue'e calmly asked the maid to accept it. After she left, she distributed it to the people in the courtyard.

Cui Yue'e was naturally very angry. She had been married into the Pei Mansion for several months, and since she saw that Yun had never offended her, she did not act like a mistress and bully her.

It seems that I am too soft-hearted after all. Thinking of this, a sinister look flashed in Cui Yue'e's eyes. Since she is restless, don't blame me for being cruel!

The next day, Liu sent two mothers over, which was prepared for Cui Yue'e a long time ago.

A century-old family like the Cui family would prepare some dowry for their daughters. At that time, considering that marrying into the Pei family would only mean marrying into the second wife, it would not be good to be too high-profile, so they did not send anyone over. Now that Cui Yue'e is pregnant, it would not be excessive to arrange a few people to come and help take care of her.

That day, Cui Yue'e summoned Aunt Yun, Aunt Liu and Aunt Li to the courtyard.

Cui Yue'e picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said tactfully, "I am pregnant now and I am exhausted every day. Fortunately, Aunt Yun helps take care of my diet."

Aunt Yun lowered her eyebrows and smiled, "Madam, you are too polite. These are what I should do. It is my honor to share your worries."

Cui Yue'e changed the subject and continued, "Madam Yun, you have been working hard for my wife's food all day long. I have decided that from now on, I will handle the internal affairs of the mansion myself. After all, it is my duty to take care of the internal affairs."

Aunt Liu and Aunt Li were silent, but they had their own thoughts. In this deep mansion, the power of internal affairs was like a sharp sword, whoever controlled it would have a foothold.

When Aunt Yun heard this, she became a little panicked.

Originally, as soon as Cui Yue'e entered the mansion, Madam Pei handed over the power of housekeeper to her. However, on the one hand, Cui Yue'e had just entered the mansion and did not understand the affairs yet. On the other hand, Prime Minister Pei still felt a little guilty towards Madam Yun, so he asked Madam Yun to assist Cui Yue'e in housekeeping.

Cui Yue'e has always loved to appreciate poetry and songs, and has no interest in such trivial matters as housekeeping. With Aunt Yun's assistance, she is happy to have a leisurely life, especially when she became pregnant, she let go of everything.

Why did Cui Yue'e suddenly think of the housekeeper today? Aunt Yun was confused.

Aunt Yun lowered her head and whispered, "Madam, I don't feel tired at all. I am just worried that you are pregnant and need to accompany the Prime Minister. It is very hard. Let me take care of these trivial matters."

Cui Yue'e smiled slightly, gently stroked her belly, and said softly, "Taking care of the backyard is my duty. Aunt Yun has helped for several months, and I am grateful. How can I trouble you again?"

She looked up at Aunt Yun with a hint of warmth in her eyes, "Besides, I've gotten used to the food Aunt Yun prepared these days, and the sudden change has left a taste in my mouth."

Aunt Yun was speechless when she heard this. She lowered her head, thought for a moment, and then said, "It's just that I'm worried that Madam is too tired."

"There's no need to worry about that. It happens that several concubines are here today. I was thinking that concubine Li and concubine Liu have nothing to do, so why don't you two concubines help me share some of the burden?" Cui Yue'e said to concubine Liu and concubine Li.

Aunt Liu and Aunt Li looked at each other, both a little apprehensive, "Madam, we two have no experience in housekeeping."

Cui Yue'e chuckled and said gently, "It doesn't matter, as long as you have the intention. The two concubines are kind and meticulous, and they will definitely be able to do the job."

After hearing this, Aunt Li and Aunt Liu had no choice but to agree.

Cui Yue Niang picked up the teacup, took a sip gently, and glanced at Aunt Yun calmly. Her health was getting worse and worse, so she wanted to cultivate the abilities of Aunt Li and Aunt Liu and let them have more responsibilities in the mansion. In this way, when she gave birth, the Yun family would not be able to dominate the mansion.

At Prince Jing's Mansion, while Xuanyuan Ping was away, Pei Zhiyan also made a quiet personnel change in the Mansion, replacing the maids and servants in each courtyard with some of her own people.

Pei Zhiyan was checking the account book in the room when Mother Xue walked in.

"See Princess."

"Mrs. Xue, please take a seat."

Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly, and then ordered Yin Liu, "Quick, serve tea to Mother Xue."

Mother Xue sat down, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then asked in confusion, "Princess, there seem to be some new faces in the mansion recently."

"The prince's status and position are becoming increasingly prominent now, so the mansion naturally needs more manpower to maintain daily operations. So this princess has recruited some new people into the mansion." Pei Zhiyan said with a smile.

Mother Xue thought to herself that what she said made sense.

At this time, Pei Zhiyan sighed again and changed the topic, "Speaking of which, Concubine Xuan has been in the mansion for nearly half a year, but there has been no movement. This princess is also very anxious. After all, having children for the prince is the top priority of the mansion, which will also make the mansion more prosperous."

"What the princess said is absolutely right." Mother Xue agreed, "But I don't know why there has been no movement from Concubine Xuan."

Ever since the prince married Concubine Xuan, the two have been in the sweet and loving stage. He stays there eight or nine out of ten days. But how come Concubine Xuan has been silent all this time?

The last time Concubine Xuan went back to Pei Mansion with the princess, she claimed to be sick for a few days after she came back. It seemed that she had some kind of deficiency of qi and blood. I don’t know if this was the reason that affected her fertility.

Mother Xue was still thinking secretly, and Pei Zhiyan interrupted her thoughts again, "Mother Xue, this princess also wants to find some more candidates to enrich the backyard for the prince. I wonder if Mother Xue has any good candidates?"

When Pei Zhiyan asked this, Mother Xue was stunned. The princess had married her own sister to the prince, and now she was thinking of adding a new wife to the prince. It must be said that the princess was magnanimous and graceful, and she was sincere to the prince. After all, for a woman, it is not an easy thing to push her beloved man to someone else.

"This is not something a servant like me can make an opinion on. If the princess has a candidate, I can give her some advice." Mother Xue said.

"Haha, then this princess will pay more attention to the noble ladies in the capital, and when the prince returns triumphantly, I will discuss it with him." Pei Zhiyan said with a smile.

"The princess is worthy of being the eldest daughter of an aristocratic family. Such demeanor really makes me admire her!" Mother Xue was also very impressed when she heard Pei Zhiyan's words.

Pei Zhiyan picked up the teacup and smiled gently.

Mother Xue had long forgotten that she had come to question the newcomer to the house.
