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

Xuanyuan Ping was going to prepare for the competition, so Pei Zhixuan was naturally left alone. Seeing Pei Zhiyan also walked away, she knew in her heart that Pei Zhiyan didn't like her in front of everyone, and it would be bad to chase after her and embarrass herself, so she stood there looking around.

At this time, she saw Zhao Wanru alone in the stands, and she came up with an idea and decided to go over and talk to her.

She saluted from a distance, then approached Zhao Wanru with a smile on her face and said in a sweet voice, "Greetings, Crown Princess."

"Get up." Zhao Wanru glanced at her and said lightly, without any warmth in her voice and with a bit of disgust in her eyes.

The bill for the empress dowager's birthday banquet last time has not been settled with her yet, and now she comes running here again. What a cheap creature. Zhao Wanru felt a little contemptuous of her. Pei Zhixuan's flattering face made her feel sick.

Seeing Zhao Wanru's attitude, Pei Zhixuan looked a little embarrassed, but soon she put on a sweet smile and flattered, "The Crown Princess is so radiant today that people fall in love with her at first sight."

Zhao Wanru chuckled and replied calmly, "Concubine Xuan, you are too kind."

Pei Zhixuan is a cunning person. I was fooled by her last time at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. I can't be stupid this time. She is approaching me again today. She must have some plan. I need to be careful and not be fooled by her sweet words again.

Pei Zhixuan also knew that Zhao Wanru must be angry with her because of what happened last time, so she lowered her head and said docilely, "Crown Princess, I know that something went wrong at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet last time, causing the Crown Princess to misunderstand me."

"Actually, that incident was just a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to embarrass the Crown Princess on purpose. I was tricked by someone else. I was the most embarrassed person that day."

As she spoke, her eyes became red and her voice choked up.

Zhao Wanru felt relieved when she heard this, so she asked, "Oh? Is it a misunderstanding?"

Pei Zhixuan saw this and knew that her words had worked. She quickly struck while the iron was hot and nodded, "Yes, I didn't expect it to be like this. I'm loyal to the Crown Princess. Crown Princess, why don't you think about it, who would be proud if I made a fool of myself?"

When Zhao Wanru heard this, she understood something in her heart. To a certain extent, both of them were used by the same person. She naturally understood that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Thinking of this, her expression became much softer.

"Come over and talk."

"Thank you, Princess!" Pei Zhixuan said happily, then walked over and sat down with Zhao Wanru.

When Pei Zhiyan walked to the grandstand area, the women from the general's mansion were already sitting there, so Pei Zhiyan went over to join them.

Pei Zhiyan walked up to them with a smile, greeted them one by one, and then sat down.

"I'm so sorry, I'm late." Pei Zhiyan apologized to everyone.

Chen smiled and waved her hand when she heard this, "You are just too polite, kid. We know you have a lot to do and we won't blame you. Come and sit down, the game is about to start."

Pei Zhiyan nodded gratefully and sat down in the empty seat next to Chen.

She looked around and found that the stands were already full and noisy, with everyone excitedly discussing the upcoming game.

At this time, Cui Yue'e came over with her big belly, bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Princess."

"Madam Yue'e, please don't be polite. Please take a seat. You are pregnant now, so you have to be careful." Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly, then motioned Yinliu to help her up.

Cui Yue'e also bowed in front of Chen and Liu from the General's Mansion, and then sat down next to Pei Zhiyan. She looked a little tired, but still had a gentle smile on her face.

Pei Zhiyan picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Madam Yue'e is getting worse. Please take care of yourself."

"Thanks to the princess, the child is doing well now. I didn't want to go out today, but the court doctor said that I needed to move more, and the delivery would be smoother. So I came out to join in the fun and get some fresh air." Cui Yue'e said with a smile.

She paused for a moment, then moved closer to Pei Zhiyan and whispered, "Since the princess reminded me last time, I have been keeping an eye on the Yun family's movements."

"Now Yun is busy taking care of my food in the mansion all day long, and it seems that she has no time to do anything weird. All this is thanks to the princess's reminder and care."

Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly when she heard this, but she was secretly alert in her heart. She knew that Yun was not a good person, and maybe he just restrained his edge temporarily.

"However, Concubine Xuan returned home a few days ago and learned from the Yun family that the mother and daughter had been staying in the room for nearly two hours."

"Oh? Is this true?" Pei Zhiyan frowned slightly, revealing a bit of solemnity. She turned to Cui Yue'e and asked softly, "Do you know what the mother and daughter talked about in their room?"

Cui Yue'e shook her head lightly, a look of helplessness on her face. "Their voices were sometimes loud and sometimes soft, and we didn't get any specific information. However, Yun also mysteriously gave Concubine Xuan a porcelain bottle. I don't know what's in it."

"Madam Yue'e, the Yun family has always been good at forbearance and has deep scheming. This porcelain bottle is probably not simple." Pei Zhiyan said softly.

Cui Yue'e nodded in agreement, with a bit of worry on her face, "I also think that the porcelain bottle is unusual, but it's a pity that the people stationed in the Yun family courtyard can't find out what it is."

"However, I will continue to have people closely monitor the Yun family's movements, and report to you immediately if there is any news."

Pei Zhiyan pondered for a moment, then said, "Madam Yue'e, let's put this aside for now. Your health is getting worse and worse, so you must be careful and cautious every day."

"You also know that this child is not only important to you, but also to the Pei family."

Cui Yue'e glanced at Pei Zhiyan gratefully, lowered her eyes and whispered, "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I will definitely pay attention to it."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Cui Yue'e took her leave.

"This Cui is a smart person." Liu picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Hmph, as long as we don't let the Yun family succeed, it doesn't matter what family name she is." Chen snorted coldly, speaking sarcastically.

Although my sister-in-law was the mistress of Pei Mansion back then, she was often bullied by Yun. If it weren't for Yun, my sister-in-law wouldn't have died of depression at a young age, leaving the princess alone.

This Yun is extremely scheming. Relying on Prime Minister Pei's favor, she is now instigating the marriage of her concubine's daughter to Prince Jing as a concubine, which makes the princess feel disgusted. If she really becomes the mistress of Pei's mansion, who knows how she will harm others.
