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

That night, Pei Zhixuan carefully cooked a bowl of fragrant bird's nest porridge, and came to Xuanyuan Ping's study in a silky dress, like a fairy from the Moon Palace. The lights were on in the study, and Xuanyuan Ping was buried in a pile of documents with a frown on his face.

Pei Zhixuan walked gently to Xuanyuan Ping, placed the bird's nest porridge on the table, and said softly: "Your Highness, you have worked hard. It's so late and you haven't eaten yet. You should drink this bowl of bird's nest porridge first."

She held the bird's nest porridge and stirred it slowly with a spoon. The porridge was fragrant and smooth in the mouth, adding to its flavor.

Xuanyuan Ping raised his head and saw Pei Zhixuan's charming appearance, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He gently rubbed his eyebrows, took the bird's nest porridge from Pei Zhixuan's hand, and said with emotion, "Xuan'er still understands my heart the best."

Pei Zhixuan smiled charmingly, "No matter how important your business is, you have to take care of your health. Only when you are in good health can you handle your business better."

While Xuanyuan Ping was tasting the bird's nest, Pei Zhixuan walked behind him and began to massage his shoulders. Her technique was skillful and gentle, as if it could dispel all the fatigue and sorrow.

Xuanyuan Ping closed his eyes and enjoyed it all, feeling a rare sense of tranquility and ease in his heart.

After an unknown amount of time, Pei Zhixuan stopped what she was doing. She said softly, "My Lord, it's getting late. You should go to bed early."

Xuanyuan Ping opened his eyes and looked at Pei Zhixuan, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's rest together."

Pei Zhixuan was delighted, she knew her plan was halfway successful. As long as she could continue to be so gentle and considerate and make Xuanyuan Ping feel dependent on her, then it would be just a matter of time before she could regain his favor.

The two of them held hands and returned to Yuxiangxie together.

As soon as he stepped through the threshold, Xuanyuan Ping smelled a strange fragrance, fresh and soothing. He looked around and saw that the interior was elegantly decorated and quiet, with soft lighting, and everything seemed so warm and comfortable.

Pei Zhixuan changed out of her icy silk dress and put on a light skirt, which swayed gently with her steps. She walked in front of Xuanyuan Ping, smiled slightly, and then began to perform a beautiful dance for him.

Pei Zhixuan danced to the rhythm of the music, her dancing posture was graceful, like a fairy descending to the earth. Her body spun with the ups and downs of the music, like a blooming flower swaying gently in the breeze. Her eyes were full of affection, as if she was expressing her love for Xuanyuan Ping through dance.

Xuanyuan Ping watched Pei Zhixuan's dance, his eyes flashing with confusion and obsession. He was deeply attracted by her beauty and charm, as if the whole world only had the two of them.

That night, Pei Zhixuan used her dance and charm to tie Xuanyuan Ping's heart firmly to her. The two spent a night of love, and their emotions intertwined and sublimated in the night.

The next morning, Xuanyuan Ping finished his breakfast and left Yuxiangxie. Pei Zhixuan stood at the window and watched him leave, with a smug smile on her face.

She knew that the effect of the scent of flowers had already shown up, and Xuanyuan Ping's attitude towards her had obviously become gentler. She believed that as long as she continued to give her heart and maintain this relationship, Xuanyuan Ping would soon dote on her again.

Every year at this time, the Princess's residence would hold a Cuju meeting. The Princess has always had a special love for Cuju. Now, although she is old, her passion for Cuju remains unabated.

The eldest princess was the emperor's elder sister and had a very noble status. In order to allow the emperor to ascend the throne smoothly, the eldest princess condescended to marry Shen Yesen, the second son of the Duke of Shen's mansion who held a large number of troops, and successfully persuaded the Duke of Shen's mansion to stand on the emperor's side.

Shen Yesen had been sickly since childhood, and died of illness less than three years after marrying the eldest princess, without leaving any children. In order to appease the Shen Guo Mansion, the eldest princess did not remarry, and even adopted a child from the Shen Guo Mansion and raised him under her own name.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he naturally showed great respect and love to the eldest princess. The eldest princess's status can be imagined. Therefore, every time no matter what kind of party was held, dignitaries in the capital would flock to it.

Today, not only Pei Zhiyan came, but Xuanyuan Ping also brought Pei Zhixuan with him.

Xuanyuan Ping and Pei Zhixuan rode in the same carriage, while Pei Zhiyan came alone in Princess Jing's exclusive carriage.

As soon as Pei Zhiyan got off the carriage, she immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. Her story of traveling thousands of miles south to help Prince Jing was widely spread in the capital, and people admired her courage and loyalty. Therefore, when she appeared in Prince Jing's mansion, everyone gathered around enthusiastically, wanting to see the style of this heroic woman.

However, the next scene made the atmosphere become subtle. Xuanyuan Ping and Pei Zhixuan got off the same carriage, and everyone showed contemptuous expressions, pointing and whispering at Pei Zhixuan, and a strange atmosphere quietly spread.

"Prince Jing really loves his concubine. He even rides in the same carriage with her in such a high-profile manner."

"That's right. Judging from the situation, the relationship between the two is very deep."

"It's a good thing that Princess Jing traveled all the way to the south to support Prince Jing."

Xuanyuan Ping's face showed a bit of embarrassment, and he calmly let go of Pei Zhixuan's hand.

But Pei Zhixuan seemed very calm. She held her head high and chest out, smiling, like a proud peacock.

Pei Zhiyan never cared about these things. She snorted coldly, and seeing that the Cuju game was about to begin, Pei Zhiyan walked towards the stadium.

When walking past Pei Zhixuan, Pei Zhiyan smelled a strange scent of incense. Pei Zhiyan frowned, glanced at Pei Zhixuan out of the corner of her eye, and then continued walking.

In the previous life, for Xuanyuan Ping's future, Pei Zhiyan would definitely go to entertain the princess on such occasions, but forget it today. Pei Zhiyan decided to go and meet up with Liu and Chen from the General's Mansion.

"Hey, isn't this the extraordinary woman who traveled thousands of miles to save her husband?" At this time, a sharp voice came.
