Restart the Disaster of Another World

Yong'an Palace.

"Your Majesty, please look! This is a night-shining pearl! It was originally a tribute from the South China Sea. There are only two in the entire palace, one in the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, and the other in the Emperor's bedroom. However, the Emperor loves you so much that he specially ordered the palace servants to place it in the Yong'an Palace." The maid Xiaohong held the rare treasures that the Emperor had just brought in in both hands, and excitedly showed them to Concubine Li, her face full of irrepressible excitement.

Concubine Li slowly turned around and her eyes fell on the dazzling night pearl, but her heart was not moved at all. She silently looked at the luxurious palace in front of her, and secretly sighed in her heart: Although this palace is gorgeously decorated and magnificent, in her heart, it is far less warm and friendly than the palace she once lived in; it can't compare with the colorful and colorful flower city in her hometown in summer.

What she really cares about is not the luxury of her living environment, but whether her family and friends far away are safe and healthy.

"Xiaohong, please tell Eunuch Li that I like this palace very much and thank the emperor for his painstaking efforts." Concubine Li said softly, her tone calm and firm.

"As long as your majesty likes it, I will report it to the emperor when I return and tell him that your majesty is very satisfied with this palace." The eunuch who came to Yong'an Palace to read the imperial edict paused for a moment, then reminded softly, "Your majesty, the emperor said that he will come to see you as soon as he finishes his government affairs."

When Concubine Li heard this, she was slightly stunned at first, then a shy smile appeared on her face, and she replied happily: "Really? That's great... I understand, thank you for your reminder, Eunuch Yu."

Eunuch Li smiled and said, "Now that Concubine Li is pregnant with the Dragonborn, her status is naturally different from before. The Emperor will definitely love and value her even more."

Concubine Li smiled slightly, turned around and winked at Xiaohong beside her. Xiaohong understood what she meant and immediately stepped forward, respectfully handing a bulging purse to Eunuch Li.

Eunuch Li quickly waved his hand and refused, "Oh, Madam, this is not allowed!"

Concubine Li chuckled and said gently, "Eunuch, you have been taking good care of me during this period. I am very grateful. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

Eunuch Li pretended to refuse for a while, but finally took the purse with a big smile on his face and said, "Thank you, Concubine Li, for the reward."

"The Imperial Concubine has arrived!!!"

Concubine Li was talking to Eunuch Li when she suddenly heard a commotion at the palace gate. She couldn't help but frown and muttered to herself, "Why is Concubine Han here?"

I saw a gorgeous chariot stopped at the gate of Yongning Palace, and Concubine Han slowly walked down from the carriage.

"Greetings to the Royal Concubine. May the Queen be healthy and happy." Concubine Li walked forward with the help of the palace maids and saluted Concubine Han.

"Don't be so polite, sister." Concubine Han looked at Concubine Li, with a barely perceptible cruelty flashing in her eyes, but on the surface she still smiled and said, "Sister is pregnant now, and her body is very precious. How dare I ask you to be so polite! Please stand up quickly~"

"Thank you for your concern, Imperial Concubine." Concubine Li looked calm, but she was sneering in her heart. How could she believe Concubine Han's lies? If she really believed them, she must be out of her mind! Now, she has become a thorn in the eyes of all the concubines in the harem. Her every word and action is closely watched by countless eyes and magnified infinitely. If she dares not to salute Concubine Han, it won't be long before her bad reputation of being spoiled will spread throughout the palace.

"My sister is so lucky. It's a great blessing for her to be pregnant with a royal heir!" Concubine Han said with a forced smile, her words full of jealousy and resentment.

Concubine Li frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy. She was sent to the palace because someone predicted that her fate was extremely noble. In order to protect her family, she had to leave her hometown and come to the capital alone. This experience has always been a thorn in her heart, and now that Concubine Han mentioned it to her face, how could she be happy?

"Noble Concubine, the Emperor has issued an order that no one is allowed to disturb Concubine Li's rest." Eunuch Li cautiously reminded Noble Concubine Han.

This decree had already been issued to all palaces yesterday, and the Imperial Concubine's Palace was no exception. Imperial Concubine Han insisted on visiting Concubine Li at this time, and her thoughts were self-evident.

Concubine Han's face was a little stiff, but she quickly returned to normal. If someone else had said such a thing, she would have been furious. However, the person in front of her was Eunuch Li! He was not only the eunuch who was close to the emperor, but also the chief eunuch of the palace, and his status was extraordinary. Concubine Han knew that she could not offend him easily, so she forced a smile and said, "Look at my memory. Thank you for reminding me, Eunuch Li. I will remember it."

Concubine Han turned her head and her eyes fell on Concubine Li. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an extremely hypocritical smile: "I am also worried that you are a new mother and don't understand many things, so I came to visit you. I want to help you, and I have no other intentions. I wonder if it is convenient for you? I hope I didn't disturb your rest?"

Concubine Li sneered in her heart. She certainly understood Concubine Han's intention. However, since the other party was so hypocritical, she might as well play a trick with her. So, Concubine Li smiled and replied: "Thank you for your concern, Concubine. I am fine. Thank you for your concern."

Before Concubine Han could speak, Concubine Li spoke first.

"Your Highness is old and has a bad memory. I will not argue with you." Concubine Li raised her lips slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sneer, and replied in a flat tone. She knew that she could not be compared with Concubine Han in terms of qualifications, and she was also at a disadvantage in terms of age. However, what she really cared about was whether Concubine Han would like this situation.

After Concubine Han used her to frame the Crown Prince last time, Concubine Li had seen the true face of this woman - she was vicious and far from being as kind as she appeared on the surface. From then on, Concubine Li was full of vigilance and resentment towards Concubine Han.

However, in this harem, which woman is easy to bully? Those weak and vulnerable women have long turned into bones and disappeared without a trace.

It can be said that Concubine Li was able to reach this point today entirely thanks to Concubine Han. If Concubine Han had not forced Concubine Li into the palace in order to consolidate her position and favor, she might still be able to reunite with her family and enjoy the happiness of family life, instead of living alone in this huge harem like now.

For women, especially those in the harem, what they care about most is often the aging of their appearance. Time is ruthless, youth is fleeting, and beauty is one of their capitals to gain power and favor. Therefore, when it comes to age issues, they are always particularly sensitive.

Especially since Concubine Han is already thirty-five years old this year, even though she takes good care of herself, some wrinkles are beginning to appear on her face.

At this moment, Concubine Han was extremely sensitive about her age. Normally, no one dared to mention this matter, but Concubine Li's blunt words were like a sharp knife stabbing her heart.

Concubine Han's chest heaved with anger, and for a moment she could hardly maintain the fake smile on her face.

Eunuch Li glanced at Concubine Li in astonishment. He had never expected that two people who should have belonged to the same camp would be so confrontational.

"Okay, okay!" Concubine Han nodded with a forced smile. If the palace maid beside her had not tried her best to hold her back, she would have almost been unable to restrain herself from rushing forward and tearing apart Concubine Li's sharp mouth.

"I came to congratulate you today. Please accept these gifts, sister." Concubine Han calmed down and did not argue with Concubine Li. She ordered, "Bring the gifts here and let Concubine Li see if she likes them."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The palace maid waved to the people behind her, and immediately someone came over carrying box after box of gifts.

These boxes looked quite heavy, and they were obviously filled with valuable things. After all, the Han family was very wealthy, and Concubine Han, as the daughter of the Han family, was naturally very generous.

As the boxes were opened one by one, a dazzling array of gifts were displayed in front of everyone. Among them were not only various precious jewelry, silks and satins, but also some rare antiques, calligraphy and paintings. These gifts were all exquisite, which was enough to show Concubine Han's attention and care for Concubine Li.

However, this was not the end. In addition to these material gifts, Concubine Han also brought a group of people as gifts. Four young and beautiful palace maids, four clever eunuchs and an old nanny stood in front of Concubine Li.

Concubine Li now lives alone in a palace. According to palace rules, she has a corresponding staff. Usually, there is a steward responsible for managing daily affairs, four first-class maids serving her personally, four first-class eunuchs assisting in handling chores, and eight second-class maids and eunuchs at her disposal.

Such staffing can not only ensure Concubine Li's daily life, but also highlight her status.

Once these nine people really stayed in Concubine Li's palace, Concubine Li's every move in the future would be controlled by Concubine Han, and it would even be hard to say whether she could keep her offspring.

"I am not worthy of these things, please take them back, Your Majesty." Concubine Li did not show any mercy to Concubine Han, and directly rejected the person without any hesitation. She was not a fool, so how could she use the person sent by Concubine Han?

Faced with Li Fei's blunt refusal, Han Guifei was not angry. She just raised her eyebrows, then looked at Li Fei with a smile and a calm tone, half reminding and half warning: "Even if you are pregnant with the Dragonborn, you must not break the rules of the harem. You know, this harem is now under the control of me, and the personnel arrangements of each palace are naturally decided by me. So, Li Fei, these people are not something you can refuse just because you want to."

"Oh, really?" Concubine Li also looked at Concubine Han with a smile, but unlike Concubine Han, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, revealing a smile full of irony.

"Your Highness, you don't know this!" Eunuch Li leaned forward and carefully reminded Concubine Han, "The Emperor understands that Concubine Li has just moved to Yong'an Palace and may not be used to it for a while, so the Emperor has specially granted Concubine Li permission to arrange all matters in Yong'an Palace on her own!"

Hearing this, Concubine Li couldn't help but frowned, thinking to herself: This Eunuch Li is really talkative! She had already planned to refuse these rewards, but now that he said this, it was a bit difficult to deal with.

"What?" After hearing what Eunuch Li said, Concubine Han's face instantly became extremely gloomy. She widened her eyes and looked at Eunuch Li with shock and anger.

Eunuch Li looked respectful, without a trace of falsehood. Concubine Han immediately understood that the emperor had already favored Concubine Li, and that she was just asking for trouble by coming to give a gift this time!

Thinking of this, Concubine Han could no longer hold back her anger. She flicked her sleeves and left Yong'an Palace angrily with the palace maids and eunuchs around her.

When Eunuch Li saw Concubine Han leaving, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face. He turned around and winked at the two young eunuchs behind him.

The two young eunuchs understood what he meant and immediately stepped forward to carefully count the gifts sent by Concubine Han. They checked very carefully, making sure that there was no problem with each item, and then registered them and sent them to the warehouse.
