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

That day, after lunch, Pei Zhiyan was reading a book in her room. Yin Liu walked in quietly with a happy smile on her face. "Miss, there was a letter from the Pei Mansion saying that Madam Yue'e is pregnant."

Pei Zhiyan put down the book in her hand after hearing this, "Really? This is a happy event! I should go back and take a look."

But there's nothing going on in the palace right now, so it might be a good idea to go back and take a look at what's going on.

Early the next morning, Pei Zhiyan ordered her servants to prepare some nourishing supplements, and then took Yinliu back to the Pei Mansion.

As soon as she entered the mansion, she felt a joyous atmosphere. Pei Zhiyan went directly to Old Madam Pei's yard.

Aunt Yun stood behind the old lady, looking submissive and humble.

Aunt Yun has become smarter now. She knows that the new wife doesn't like her, so she goes to Old Madam Pei every day to cling to her. After all, Old Madam Pei is her mother-in-law. As long as she clings to her, she can gain a foothold in this mansion.

It is said that these days, Aunt Yun comes to Madam Pei's courtyard every day to pay respects to Madam Pei and serve her. Old people like to be lively, and Aunt Yun is a good talker. She makes Madam Pei smile every day, and she has a better impression of her.

Pei Zhiyan walked into the room, and the old lady said to her with a happy face, "Yan'er, you also know that Yue'e is pregnant. This is a great joyous event for our Pei Mansion."

Pei Zhiyan smiled and said, "Yes, I heard about it too. Congratulations, grandmother, and congratulations to Madam Yue'e."

Aunt Yun interrupted and said, "It's good that the princess is back. The mansion hasn't had such a festive atmosphere for a long time." There was a subtle hint of sourness in her words.

Pei Zhiyan understood, but didn't show it. She just said, "Yes, I also feel the joy in the mansion. Madam Yue'e is pregnant, and we should all be happy for her."

When Aunt Yun heard this, her heart sank again. This news might not be a good thing for her. However, since Cui was pregnant, she would have the opportunity to serve the Prime Minister. She secretly made up her mind to make good use of this opportunity and win the Prime Minister's heart.

Pei Zhiyan had just sat for a while when Cui Yue'e came over.

Cui Yue'e, with a rosy face and a happy expression, came forward, bowed slightly, and said with a smile, "Greetings, Princess!"

Pei Zhiyan helped Cui Yue'e up and helped her sit on the chair next to her. She said with a smile, "Madam, please don't be polite. Take care of yourself."

"This is truly the greatest joyous event for the Pei family. It is a gift from heaven to the Pei family."

Madam Pei also said with a smile, "Yes, this is a happy event for our whole family!"

When Madam Cui Yue'e heard this, her face was filled with a happy smile. She had been pregnant for several months and had been looking forward to the arrival of this child. She patted her belly and said gently, "Now I just hope that he can be born healthy."

Pei Zhiyan approached Cui Yue'e, looked at her belly, and said with a smile, "Madam's belly looks bigger than that of an average pregnant woman. I think it must be a healthy baby."

"I've been eating well and sleeping well these days," Cui Yue'e stroked her belly gently, "but sometimes I feel a little greedy and want to eat something."

Pei Zhiyan nodded, "As long as you can eat and sleep, that's the best. Madam, please have a good rest. If you need anything, just let me know."

At this time, Madam Pei said with a smile, "Mrs. Yun has worked hard these days," she pointed at Aunt Yun and said, "Mrs. Cui's meals are all taken care of by Ms. Yun herself. She has put a lot of thought and energy into preparing these meals."

Aunt Yun quickly replied, "This is what I should do, for Madam and the future little prince. As long as they are healthy, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it. As long as Madam can take good care of the pregnancy and give birth smoothly, I will be satisfied."

"My appetite has been really good these days, and I have to thank Aunt Yun for bringing food to my courtyard four or five times a day. Thank you, Aunt Yun." Cui Yue'e said gratefully.

Hearing this, Pei Zhiyan picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip, and looked at Aunt Yun meaningfully. Aunt Yun seemed a little guilty and dodged.

At this moment, Pei Zhiyan couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, and she began to doubt Aunt Yun's intentions. She stared at Aunt Yun, trying to find clues from her expression.

As if to resolve the awkward situation, Aunt Yun hurriedly said, "Madam, I remembered that the kitchen was stewing bird's nest for you just now. I'll go and see if it's ready."

"Well, go ahead." Mrs. Pei said gently.

Aunt Yun turned and walked out of the house, her steps light, as if she couldn't wait. Pei Zhiyan looked at her back and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart. She always felt that Aunt Yun was deliberately avoiding something, but she couldn't tell.

"Yinliu, prepare some supplements for Madam after returning home." Pei Zhiyan instructed Yinliu.

"Yes, Princess." Yin Liu responded.

"Thank you so much, Princess. It is the greatest blessing for this child to have a sister like you to take care of him." Cui Yue'e said gratefully.

"We are all family, there is no need to be polite, Madam Yue'e." Pei Zhiyan smiled, shook her head and said.

Pei Zhiyan sat and drank tea and chatted with Old Madam Pei and Cui Yue'e for a while before she got up and returned home.

Back at the palace, Pei Zhiyan and Yinliu were sorting out some supplements to be sent to the Pei Mansion when Mother Xue walked in.

"Greetings, Princess." Mother Xue bowed slightly.

"No need to be polite, Madam Xue." Pei Zhiyan smiled and motioned for her to sit down.

"What is the princess busy with?" Mother Xue asked curiously.

"Mrs. Pei is pregnant, and I am picking out some supplements to send to her. It's a good thing that you are here, Mother Xue, so please help me pick out which ones are most suitable for pregnant women." Pei Zhiyan said while pointing to some boxes on the table.

Mother Xue walked to the table and carefully looked at the boxes of high-quality ginseng and bird's nest.

"This ginseng is the best six-year-old ginseng, which is very effective in enhancing physical strength and nourishing vitality," Xue's mother explained in detail, "and this bird's nest is a carefully selected swift bird's nest, which has the effects of moistening the lungs and nourishing the skin, nourishing yin and replenishing blood. Both of these are excellent tonics for pregnant women, and are also very helpful for the growth and development of the fetus."

Pei Zhiyan nodded repeatedly and said, "Then send these boxes over."

"Yes, Princess." Yinliu responded quickly.

"Mrs. Pei is so lucky. She used to have such a frail figure, but now that she's pregnant, the mansion serves her with delicious food and drinks every day. Although she's only three months pregnant, her figure is almost twice as round as before. It's really enviable." Yin Liu chattered as she packed the gift boxes.

Mother Xue frowned when she heard what Yin Liu said and said, "Princess, in my opinion, Madam Pei should be more careful about what she eats. Although food supplements are beneficial, if you eat too much, it will be bad when you are pregnant."
