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

At this time, Pei Zhiyan was sitting lazily on a mahogany chair, sipping the fragrant green tea with the aroma of tea wafting in the air.

Yin Liu walked in angrily, "That guy really takes himself seriously!"

Pei Zhiyan looked up at her, her eyes revealing a little helplessness and depth. This girl has always been a straightforward person, loyal to herself, and always protecting herself. It was also because of this that she ended up with a tragic death in her previous life.

"Who has annoyed you again?" Pei Zhiyan asked with a hint of teasing and inquiry in her tone.

"Hmph! That Second Miss started to lose her temper when she was asked to wait in the side courtyard for a while. She's really troublesome!" Yin Liu said angrily, her face flushed red.

Yin Liu has always been very loyal to Pei Zhiyan. Seeing that the second lady married into the palace and still wanted to bully her own lady, she was naturally very angry.

Pei Zhiyan smiled faintly, with a hint of disdain in her tone, "She has always had a bad temper, why bother with her."

"But, I really feel sorry for the young lady. Even now we are in the palace, she still wants to take advantage of her!" Yin Liu couldn't help but say.

"Oh, you've already said it, this is the palace, many things are beyond her control," Pei Zhiyan picked up the teacup again, flicked it, took a sip, and then put it down, "This year's new tea can't be wasted, let me have some tea first."

Pei Zhiyan's heart was already as calm as water. She had lived a new life and had experienced too many things, including power struggles, love, family affection... She had experienced all the twists and turns. She knew that only by staying calm and rational could she avoid repeating the same mistakes in this life.

After about an incense stick of time, Pei Zhiyan finally stood up, straightened her clothes, and waved to Yin Liu, "Go and invite her over."

After a while, Yin Liu brought Pei Zhixuan in. Pei Zhixuan looked at her calmly. This was the first time she met her since her rebirth.

Her eyebrows were like willow branches, curved and soft, bending gracefully along the shape of her eyes, adding a touch of fragility to her face.

Her eyes are deep black, like bright stars, revealing intelligence and agility. Her eyes sparkle with shyness and tenderness, which makes people feel pity for her.

She was wearing a light green dress with white peony flowers embroidered on the hem, which made her look elegant and charming. The green dress fit her soft figure tightly, highlighting her graceful figure.

She wore an emerald green belt around her waist, on which was inlaid a piece of white jade, which was as smooth as a mirror and as warm as jade. The white jade formed a sharp contrast with the color of her skin, which further highlighted her skin as white as snow.

What a pitiful girl! Pei Zhiyan snorted inwardly. If it weren’t for the bloody lesson in her previous life, she really would not have been able to see through this vicious "good sister"!

Pei Zhixuan also secretly looked at Pei Zhiyan and saw that her gorgeous clothes made her look noble and elegant, but there was a vague sense of alienation in her eyes, as well as a sense of oppression from a superior, which made Pei Zhixuan's heart tighten.

Looking at her now, her face was flushed and she looked very proud. Thinking about her wedding night last night, Xuanyuan Ping actually stayed here, leaving her alone in the bridal chamber all night, she felt angry and bit her lips tightly.

"Sister," Pei Zhixuan was full of grievances and anger, her lips trembling, tears welling up in her eyes, her eyes red and swollen, obviously she had been crying all night, "Why did the prince stay at your place last night?"

Pei Zhiyan frowned, said nothing, lowered her head and flipped through the account book in her hand, as if she didn't hear what Pei Zhixuan said.

Yin Liu rolled her eyes secretly, it was really funny, the young lady was the prince's principal wife, the prince stayed at the young lady's place, this was only natural, and she, a concubine, actually came to question the young lady, how could this make sense?

Pei Zhixuan was obviously stunned. Usually, as long as she pouted her lips, this silly sister would rush to ask about her concerns. But today, she was acting out of character and didn't even raise her eyelids.

Pei Zhixuan felt that she must be guilty, and that she had used some shady means to keep the prince last night and ruined her wedding night.

"Sister!" Pei Zhixuan stomped her feet in anger, and Mother Xu gently tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to calm down.

At this time, Yin Ping came forward holding a set of exquisite tea sets and said to Pei Zhixuan, "Concubine Xuan, you haven't served tea to the princess yet. Please pour tea for the princess."

When Pei Zhixuan heard this, she felt a little unwilling, but she still stood there without moving.

Yin Ping was still holding the tea set and patiently repeated, "Please serve tea, Concubine."

The words "Please serve tea, Concubine" were like a knife stabbing Pei Zhixuan's heart. Although she had married into the palace, her sister Pei Zhiyan still had one head over her in this situation. Was this a show of power to her?

As a concubine, I should pour tea for Pei Zhixuan, but is she worthy? Pei Zhixuan curled her lips and snorted in her heart.

Mother Xu gently poked Pei Zhixuan in the back and whispered, "Second Miss, now is not the time to act on impulse. There are so many eyes watching here. If you don't obey, won't you fall into the princess's trap? People in the mansion will think that you are arrogant and domineering."

Pei Zhixuan then came to her senses and saw that all the maids in the room were staring at her.

She sighed helplessly, walked forward with some reluctance, picked up the teacup, and said with a bit of arrogance in her tone, "Sister, please have some tea."

Her voice trembled slightly and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Pei Zhixuan held the teacup with her arm raised high, feeling a little anxious, but Pei Zhiyan was reluctant to take it, and the scalding tea made her fingertips hurt slightly.

Looking at the trembling hand, which seemed to be about to drop the teacup on the ground in the next second, Pei Zhiyan's lips curled up into a smile. Then she took the teacup, took a sip, and spoke lightly, as if letting her go.

"Sister, please get up quickly. From now on, you and I, sisters, must serve the prince together."

"Thank you, sister." Pei Zhiyan forced a smile on her face and said through her back teeth. Her voice was full of reluctance and helplessness, but also a hint of deep frustration.

"Okay, help Concubine Xuan to sit down." Pei Zhiyan gestured to Yin Liu.

Yin Liu rolled her eyes calmly and stepped forward to give her a light support. Pei Zhixuan stood up and sat below Pei Zhiyan, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Sister, there is nothing I can do about this," Pei Zhiyan sneered in her heart and looked helpless when she saw this. "This is the palace of the king, and the palace of the king has its own rules. There are so many people watching here, so I have to be considerate of you."

"Sister! But..." Pei Zhixuan shouted, but with some reluctance and grievance. It was obvious that she and the prince were the ones who truly loved each other, and her sister was just using her to consolidate her position in the palace. Since yesterday, she had been suffering so much.
