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

Yuxiangxie

Pei Zhixuan had been sitting in front of the wedding candle for a whole day. Her body was a little stiff, but when she thought that she would see Xuanyuan Ping soon and they could be together openly, the tiredness of the day disappeared.

The door creaked open, and Pei Zhixuan's heart beat faster and her face flushed involuntarily.

However, through the red veil, one could only see Mother Xu's hurried steps.

"Second Miss, the prince is staying at the princess's place tonight," Mother Xu said hesitantly, "You should go to bed early."

Pei Zhixuan's smile froze on her face instantly. She bit her lower lip tightly, and her tone revealed a hint of confusion and disappointment, "What? Why did he go there?"

Pei Zhixuan's heart went blank in an instant. Today was her wedding day. She thought she would spend the night with Xuanyuan Ping, but unexpectedly he stayed in her sister's room.

Hadn't they never slept together? Why would he stay there tonight?

"I heard that the prince drank too much, so the princess sent someone to pick him up. Maybe he is still drunk now." Mother Xu said softly.

"Didn't you send anyone to ask?" Pei Zhixuan asked hatefully.

This Pei Zhiyan really has bad intentions. Knowing that today is her wedding day with the prince, she actually took the prince to Yime Garden. Isn't she doing this just to slap herself in the face?

"I've already asked, and they said that the princess has turned off the lights and gone to rest." Mother Xu said weakly.

Pei Zhixuan's nose suddenly felt sore, and she couldn't help but burst into tears. She had suffered enough grievances today. She had agreed to enter through the main door, but she had to go through the side door. She almost got burned when she stepped over the brazier. Now she had to spend her wedding night alone! Her heart was filled with helplessness and unwillingness.

All of this was done by that bitch Pei Zhiyan. She must have used some coquettish tricks to keep the prince. What she said about the deep sisterly love was all fake. She was afraid that she would steal the prince's favor. But the funny thing is, when did the prince ever favor her? She was still making things difficult for herself at this time!

The more Pei Zhixuan thought about it, the angrier she became. The resentment and anger in her heart erupted like a volcano. She was obviously also a lady of the Pei Mansion, and she was obviously the most beloved person in the prince's heart, but why did Pei Zhixuan get all the benefits? How was she better than herself?

Pei Zhixuan angrily overturned the tea set on the table, and the sound of the porcelain breaking was particularly harsh in the quiet night. Mother Xu knew that she was feeling wronged, and reluctantly ordered someone to clean up quickly.

Mother Xu looked at her helplessly. She knew Pei Zhixuan's grievances and pain, so she could only silently clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and try her best to comfort Pei Zhixuan.

"Miss, don't think too much. It's all fate." Mother Xu comforted her softly.

Pei Zhixuan couldn't listen to these words at all. She stared at the front angrily with a sneer on her face. "Hmph, what's the point of life or death! Pei Zhiyan, let's wait and see!"

At this time, Pei Zhiyan just sneezed and soon fell into a sweet sleep.

In the alley behind the outer wall of Prince Jing's mansion, Xuanyuan Che was leaning against the wall and vomiting. His personal guard patted his back and frowned. What happened to his prince today? He drank endlessly with Prince Jing as if he had never seen alcohol before, but he and Prince Jing were not usually so close.

Xuanyuan Che's body swayed, and he walked to the side with the help of the wall. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and felt his stomach churning. The guard looked at him worriedly, patted his back, and said, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Do you want me to ask the imperial physician to take a look?"

Xuanyuan Che waved his hand, smiled bitterly and said, "No need, I just drank too much."

The guard looked at him in confusion, "But, Your Highness, I have never seen you drink so much. You and Prince Jing... don't drink often."

Xuanyuan Che took a deep breath and tried to stand firm. "Well, today is an exception. Let's go."

The two of them walked out of the back alley in silence. Xuanyuan Che leaned against the wall and retched from time to time. The guard was worried, but the prince obviously didn't want to say anything more, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the window onto Pei Zhiyan's face. She opened her eyes and felt the comfort after a good night's sleep. The dreamy light gently sprinkled on Pei Zhiyan's face, making her delicate face look even more delicate and tender.

She got up, put on a coat, and went to her room. She sat quietly in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror. The reflection in the bronze mirror was clearly visible. Haha, there should be another good show today.

At the same time, Xuanyuan Ping on the couch also woke up. He rubbed his still aching head, not yet fully recovered from the hangover, looking at this unfamiliar room. After many years of marriage, this was the first time he stayed here.

Pei Zhiyan turned around and saw that Xuanyuan Ping had woken up. She smiled and said softly, "Your Highness, are you awake? Do you feel better?"

Xuanyuan Ping nodded, with a little confusion in his eyes, "Yeah."

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Is your head still hurting?" Pei Zhiyan looked at Xuanyuan Ping's frowning brows and puzzled eyes, and sneered in her heart. She pretended to be concerned, walked to his bedside, and asked softly.

Xuanyuan Ping shook his head. After the hangover, his mind was still a little unclear. Looking at Pei Zhiyan's concerned eyes, he felt an inexplicable irritation and confusion in his heart. He tried hard to recall what happened last night, but his mind was fuzzy.

"Why is the king here?"

Wasn't it the day Xuan'er came in yesterday? Shouldn't I be with Xuan'er?

Xuanyuan Ping frowned, and tried to recall what happened last night. But his mind was fuzzy, and he only remembered that he and Xuanyuan Che were drinking. This kid was really difficult to deal with, and he kept forcing him to drink. He was gradually drunk by that kid, and what happened afterwards was fuzzy.

He saw that he was lying on Pei Zhiyan's bed, only wearing underwear. He frowned and felt angry. Could it be that this despicable woman took advantage of him being drunk last night...

Seeing this, Pei Zhiyan sneered in her heart. What was Xuanyuan Ping thinking? He really overestimated his own charm.

She picked up a bowl of hangover soup and explained in a gentle tone, "Your Highness drank too much yesterday. I wanted to send you to Yuxiang Pavilion, but you were unconscious and couldn't be woken up. I had no choice but to let you rest here for a while."

"I was afraid of disturbing His Majesty's rest, so I went to the ear room last night."

After hearing what Pei Zhiyan said, Xuanyuan Ping's face turned slightly red and his expression eased a lot.
