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

Yin Liu said indignantly, "Madam Liang, today is the wedding day of Prince Jing and his concubine. All matters were handled by our princess. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard, but..."

"But the concubine was still not satisfied. She insisted on entering through the main door today. Our princess had to persuade her to come in through the side door, so it took some time."

After hearing what Yin Liu said, Liang looked at Pei Zhiyan in confusion and asked, "Shouldn't the concubine always enter through the side door? Why does she have to go through the main door? This concubine is also from the Pei Mansion. She is your sister, right?"

Pei Zhiyan sighed and smiled bitterly, "My younger sister is young. She has been raised in the palm of her father's hand at home since she was a child. Naturally, she is a little delicate."

Yin Liu continued, "The Second Miss is only a few months younger than the Princess. When she was in the Pei family, the Second Miss always targeted my Princess."

"It's a pity that my princess is the only legitimate daughter of the Pei family, but she can only swallow her anger just to maintain the relationship between sisters. This time, the second young lady married into the palace, but she still puts on such a big airs. It's really incomprehensible."

Everyone present here is the headmistress of each mansion, and they are all legitimate daughters of each family. Upon hearing this, they were all indignant. They had long heard rumors that the Pei mansion favored concubines over wives, and it seemed to be true. A legitimate daughter was bullied like this.

"Isn't this clearly bullying?" Madam Liang said angrily, squeezing the teacup in her hand, making a slight clicking sound. "How pampered can a little concubine's daughter be? It's already good enough for her to become Prince Jing's concubine. On her first day, she has to enter through the main gate. She's too ignorant of the world."

"That's right. She's just a concubine's daughter, yet she's so arrogant. What does she think of us, the legitimate daughters?" another noble lady followed suit.

Everyone started talking about it, some were sympathetic, some were watching the fun, and some were gloating.

"The second young lady of the Pei family is a little concubine, but she was able to marry Prince Jing. To put it nicely, she is a concubine, but in fact, she is just a concubine. On the first day of marriage, she has to enter through the main gate. This is really arrogant."

"I think the rumors about the Pei family favoring concubines over wives are true. The second Miss Pei is just a concubine who is not presentable. It was already good enough for her to become the concubine of Prince Jing. Now she has to go through the main gate on her first day. Isn't this too pretentious?"

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, a triumphant smile flashed across Pei Zhiyan's eyes. Ha, within three days, everyone in the capital should know that Pei Zhixuan had disregarded etiquette on her wedding day.

Pei Zhiyan frowned slightly, pretending to be angry, and scolded, "Yinliu, you talk too much!"

After hearing this, Yinliu quickly shut her mouth and retreated silently.

Then Pei Zhiyan apologized to the ladies with a smile, "Ladies, I'm sorry to make you laugh. The concubine has already entered the house, and I have to go and take care of her. Please do as you please."

Madam Liang held Pei Zhiyan's hand and said earnestly, "You are too soft-hearted, so you are easy to be manipulated. From now on, stand up straight. You are the principal wife of this palace, and you must maintain your dignity and dignity at all times!"

"Thank you for your teachings, Mrs. Liang." Pei Zhiyan lowered her eyes and said softly.

Pei Zhiyan smiled again, nodded to the ladies to express her apologies, and then walked towards the backyard with Yinliu.

"Look at this Princess Jing. She really has the demeanor of a lady from a noble family. She can still remain calm in this situation. It is really admirable."

"That's right. So, this legitimate daughter is a legitimate daughter. She is different from those illegitimate daughters who are not presentable."

Hearing another round of discussions behind her, Pei Zhiyan smiled indifferently and continued walking.

"Yinping, the concubine is about to come in. Go and see if there is anything else that needs to be prepared. She will have to jump over the fire basin later. Is the fire basin ready?" Pei Zhiyan asked as they walked.

"Yes, I'll go and check it out right away." Yinping responded.

Pei Zhiyan waved her hand and whispered a few more words in her ear. Yinping understood and left.

Here, Pei Zhixuan was stepping over the fire basin, and the matchmaker was saying auspicious words loudly, "The bride is stepping over the fire basin, and every step will bring good luck and fortune. I wish the prince and his concubine a happy marriage and a son soon!"

Mother Xu smiled and stuffed a purse into the hands of matchmaker. Matchmaker took it, weighed it, and put it into her sleeve with great joy.

At this moment, Pei Zhixuan's skirt suddenly caught fire, and the originally lively scene instantly became panic-stricken. Everyone's face changed drastically, and they cried out in surprise and hurriedly put out the flames on her body.

Pei Zhixuan was so frightened that her face turned pale, her legs went limp, and she almost fell into the brazier. Mother Xu, who was standing by, was quick to catch her.

The scorching flames made Pei Zhixuan feel a strong heat wave, which made her feel a little suffocated. She involuntarily pulled off the red veil on her head and rubbed her eyes which were a little sore from the smoke.

This sudden move stunned everyone present, and everyone was in an uproar. How could a bride take off her red veil by herself?

The matchmaker was so shocked that she was dumbfounded. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She said stumblingly, "Concubine, how could you take off the veil by yourself?"

Pei Zhixuan said angrily, "I...I'm almost suffocated to death."

Mother Xu quickly covered her with the red veil and said, "Please bear with it, my concubine. It will be fine soon."

"This..." The matchmaker looked helpless. She had been a matchmaker for her whole life, but this was the first time she had seen a bride take off her red veil.

Xuanyuan Ping saw the chaos outside and came out to greet them, "Xuan'er, are you okay?"

"Your Highness!" Pei Zhixuan felt even more aggrieved when she heard Xuanyuan Ping's voice, and was about to pounce on him.

Mother Xue, who was following behind, stepped forward to stop her and said with an unhappy look on her face, "Concubine, the auspicious time is almost over, so don't miss it."

Although Mother Xue was Xuanyuan Ping's wet nurse, she also had absolute authority in the mansion. She secretly despised her in her heart. She had always thought that the Second Miss of the Pei family was a vixen, and today she had caused all these weird troubles before she even entered the house.

A concubine, just a concubine, relied on the favor of the prince and insisted on entering through the main gate. She stepped over the brazier and it caught fire. She also took off her red veil. Today was supposed to be the prince's wedding day, but it was really unlucky. Now, Prince Jing's Mansion and the prince have become the laughing stock of the capital.

Xuanyuan Ping walked in holding Pei Zhixuan's hand, and the matchmaker said earnestly, "One step and the peach blossoms will bloom, two steps and the apricot blossoms will bloom, three steps and the plum blossoms will bloom..."

After entering, the two of them began to get married. They had just wasted some time, and if they delayed any further, they would really miss the auspicious time.

“Bow to heaven and earth!” the matchmaker said.

Xuanyuan Ping and Pei Zhixuan knelt down and bowed three times to the sky at the same time.

"The ceremony is over, send her to the bridal chamber!" As the matchmaker sang the last sentence, everyone came over to congratulate and jokingly sent Pei Zhixuan to the bridal chamber.
