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

Pei Zhixuan had been back in the palace for several days, but Xuanyuan Ping had never summoned her, which made her feel annoyed and disappointed. Since the quick encounter on the day of the Imperial Noble Consort's canonization ceremony, she had not seen the emperor again. She knew that Xuanyuan Ping must have disliked her appearance.

Pei Zhixuan covered her face, her originally fair skin was now a little yellow, losing its former luster. She couldn't help but feel a little inferior and unwilling, she used to be so beautiful, but now she ended up like this.

Hongying came in with a wash basin in her hand. "My lady, I heard that in the previous dynasty, a kind of jade skin cream was popular in the palace. It can make people's skin smooth and tender after use. Princess Yongtai had a scar on her body, and she used the jade skin cream to heal it."

Pei Zhixuan sat up straight after hearing this and asked anxiously, "Are you serious? Does the Jade Skin Cream really have such magical effects?"

Hongying nodded, "It is absolutely true. I heard from the old people in the palace that the Jade Muscle Cream is indeed a treasure in the palace. Many concubines were vying to buy it at that time."

"How can we get the Jade Skin Cream now?" Pei Zhixuan asked.

Hongying pondered for a while, "Your Majesty, the Jade Muscle Cream is very valuable, and it is hard to find nowadays. However, I will try my best to ask the old people in the palace to see if there is any stock. Or maybe someone knows how to make it."

"Hongying, no matter what, you must help me find the Jade Skin Cream. No matter how much money it costs, I will not hesitate." Pei Zhixuan said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best to find the Jade Skin Cream for you." Hongying replied.

A few days later, Hongying mysteriously brought a box of ointment and presented it to Pei Zhixuan, "Madam, this is the Jade Skin Ointment."

Pei Zhixuan eagerly took the jade cream and carefully opened the lid. A faint fragrance came to her nose, which made her feel refreshed. She took out a little jade cream and gently applied it on the back of her hand.

The texture of the jade cream is delicate and it quickly melts on the back of the hand, bringing a cool and comfortable feeling. Pei Zhixuan carefully observed the skin on the back of her hand, looking forward to seeing magical changes.

Within three days, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the skin on the back of her hand gradually became smooth and delicate. The originally dry and dull skin now glowed with a charming luster. She excitedly stroked her cheek, expecting to see the same changes.

Pei Zhixuan’s confidence increased greatly. She firmly believed that as long as she continued to use the Jade Skin Cream, her appearance would be restored to its original state.

Weiyang Palace

Pei Zhiyan lay on the chaise longue, and Yinping gently massaged her.

At this moment, Yin Liu walked in from outside, with a hint of joy on her face, "My queen, everything has been arranged."

Pei Zhiyan opened her eyes slightly when she heard this.

Yin Liu immediately stepped forward and whispered in Pei Zhiyan's ear, reporting the progress of the matter in detail.

Pei Zhiyan nodded, closed her eyes again, and continued to enjoy Yinping's massage.

Since ascending the throne, Xuanyuan Ping has been so busy reviewing memorials and receiving court officials every day that he has no time to take care of other things.

After lying dormant for several days, Pei Zhiyan tried her best to act as if everything was normal. On this day, she brought Yinliu and a food box to the Yangxin Palace.

Pei Zhiyan did not disturb him, but quietly walked to the table, opened the food box, and placed the dishes on the table one by one. Yin Liu stood beside him obediently, helping to pass the bowls and chopsticks.

Soon, the table was filled with delicious dishes. Pei Zhiyan turned to look at Xuanyuan Ping and said softly, "Your Majesty, you have been busy all day. Why don't you take a break and taste the dinner I prepared for you."

Xuanyuan Ping finally put down the memorial in his hand, looked up and saw the sumptuous dishes on the table, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Xuanyuan Ping's personal eunuch, Li Gonggong, was holding a thin silver needle in his hand and checking the dishes on the table one by one. After Li Gonggong meticulously tried every dish, Xuanyuan Ping put down the memorial in his hand and slowly walked to the table and sat down.

"Why does the Queen have to work so hard? The servants can do it." Xuanyuan Ping said hypocritically.

Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly when she heard Xuanyuan Ping's words and said softly, "Your Majesty has worked hard for the country, and I am just trying to do my best."

After finishing dinner, Pei Zhiyan said, "Your Majesty, official business will never be finished. You have been busy all day. Why don't you go to your sister's place and sit with her?"

Xuanyuan Ping then remembered that he had not visited Pei Zhixuan since she entered the palace. Fortunately, today's affairs have been almost dealt with, so he might as well go and see her.

So he said, "Okay, there's nothing to do today, I'll go over and sit down for a while."

Pei Zhixuan's Palace

The night was hazy, and the moonlight fell like water in Pei Zhixuan's bedroom. The palace lanterns swayed, reflecting the luxury and tranquility of the palace. Pei Zhixuan sat alone by the window, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, looking at the moonlight outside the window with a dazed look.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the palace, and a little palace maid ran in breathlessly, her face full of excitement and excitement.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Emperor is coming this way!" Before the little palace maid had finished her words, the teacup in Pei Zhixuan's hand accidentally slipped and broke onto the ground. She stood up in shock, her eyes flashing with surprise and uneasiness.

"What did you say? The emperor is coming?" Pei Zhixuan's voice trembled slightly, she couldn't believe her ears.

Xuanyuan Ping had not come to visit her since she entered the palace. This sudden news made her feel both surprised and happy.

The little maid nodded repeatedly, with an excited expression on her face, "Yes, Madam, the emperor is really here! He is almost at the palace gate now!"

Pei Zhixuan felt an inexplicable excitement in her heart. She quickly adjusted her makeup and dress, making sure everything was perfect. Then, she walked out of the bedroom and greeted Xuanyuan Ping.

Pei Zhixuan was born beautiful and charming. After entering the palace for more than a month, her body had already recovered. In addition, she used the jade skin cream every day, which made her skin look as delicate and smooth as jade.

In the moonlight, Pei Zhixuan's figure looked particularly graceful. She was wearing a gorgeous palace skirt, the hem of which fluttered gently with her steps, like a fairy descending to earth.

Xuanyuan Ping saw Pei Zhixuan coming towards him from afar, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. He walked forward, held Pei Zhixuan's hand, and said softly, "Xuan'er, long time no see."

Pei Zhixuan looked up at Xuanyuan Ping, tears glistening in her eyes, "Your Majesty, you finally came to see me."

Xuanyuan Ping looked at Pei Zhixuan's tearful face and couldn't help feeling guilty. He gently patted Pei Zhixuan's hand and said softly, "I know I have neglected you during this period, but please believe me, you are always in my heart."

The two of them embraced each other, and the palace maids in the hall tactfully withdrew.
