The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

The emperor has been secretly plotting to restore Zhen Huan to the throne. His determination is like the buds that grow tenaciously in spring, and has never wavered even in the aftermath of the severe winter.

And I naturally understand that Zhen Huan's restoration is only a matter of time.

At this point, going with the flow seems like a good option. If I can help Zhen Huan regain her position, not only will I win the emperor's gratitude and trust, but I can also establish my own prestige in the harem and improve the emotional index between me and the emperor.

However, while the idea was good, implementing it was not easy. I needed to weigh the pros and cons and consider everything carefully, ensuring that Zhen Huan could be successfully restored to power while also avoiding unnecessary trouble for myself.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to think about this. I am also anxious about Wan's promise, but this restoration requires careful planning to achieve the best of both worlds."

The Emperor seemed quite satisfied with my attitude:

"You have always been thoughtful and able to understand my intentions. Naturally, I trust you. I will feel at ease if I leave this matter to you."

"I will do my best."

The emperor showed a smile of approval, and his tone was even more intimate: "Noble Lady An is indeed considerate and docile."

This time, thanks to Zhen Huan, the index must have been rising quietly during my conversation with the emperor.

......

The next morning, I followed Concubine Hua's order and came to the quiet and hidden rockery in the imperial garden to wait.

I couldn't help but feel uneasy, my thoughts racing, wondering if Concubine Hua's anger would be even more unpredictable and difficult to bear than usual.

Such thoughts made my fingertips tremble slightly, and every minute and every second seemed particularly long.

Soon, a burst of quick and subtle footsteps broke the silence around me, and the figure of Concubine Hua finally appeared in my sight.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to Her Majesty Hua, and may Her Majesty Hua be blessed with good health and happiness."

When Concubine Hua heard this, she raised her lips into a smile, her eyes flickering with jealousy:

"My name is Jin An? I think Concubine An is the real Jin An. She looks so cheerful, unlike me who looks so haggard. I heard that the Emperor went to see you yesterday? That's really strange. Did the Emperor finally remember that there is such a noble lady like you?"

My heart tightened, but I forced myself to remain calm and responded with a more humble attitude:

"It has been a long time since I last saw the Emperor's holy face. How can I compare to Concubine Hua, who has been by His Majesty's side all year round and has received the most grace from you. In fact, the Emperor didn't come to visit me yesterday specifically. It was because Concubine Xia was pregnant with the Dragon Child and was not feeling well. The Emperor was worried about the baby, so he went to visit her."

After hearing this, Concubine Hua's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she resumed her proud attitude:

"Oh? So you're going to visit Concubine Xia? Humph, Concubine Xia is so lucky. She's pregnant, and yet the Emperor is so worried about her."

Seeing this, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to maneuver carefully:

"Yes, Concubine Xia is now the treasure of the palace, and the emperor naturally values ​​her very much. I am just living with Concubine Xia in Yanxi Palace, so I am able to accompany her by her side."

I carefully and skillfully diverted Hua Fei's anger at me for not sleeping with her.

When the matter of Xia Dongchun's pregnancy was mentioned, Concubine Hua's words were filled with jealousy and anger:

"Isn't it just that she's pregnant? I've been pregnant before, too, so why is she so squeamish?"

"Your Majesty is absolutely right."

"How did you do what I asked you to do last time? Did her face move?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xia's face has unfortunately developed an allergic reaction. It's now covered in a rash, like a sudden sore in spring. It's quite frightening."

Hua Fei curled her lips into a cold smile, seeming to be quite satisfied with the result, and asked again:

"The Emperor saw it yesterday. What was his reaction?"

I deliberately lowered my voice and added fuel to the fire:

"When the Emperor saw her, his expression changed drastically. He even refused to share dinner with her and ordered her to leave. It seems that Concubine Xia's position in the Emperor's heart is no longer as high as before."

After hearing this, Concubine Hua's smile widened, and her eyes flashed with a gleam of victory, as if she was quite appreciative of my "merit" this time.

After hearing my report, Concubine Hua's smile widened, and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes:

"Who told her to be so arrogant on a daily basis, relying on her beauty to dare to contradict me? Now this end can be regarded as a small lesson for her."

"Your Majesty is right. Concubine Xia used to act arrogantly and didn't know how to restrain herself. Now that this incident has happened, I think she will learn a little humility."

"You've done a pretty good job this time. When you work for me, I have clear rewards and punishments. As long as you work hard for me, I won't treat you unfairly."

After saying this, Concubine Hua glanced at Songzhi beside her. Songzhi immediately understood and took out a silver note from her sleeve and handed it to me. I took a closer look and saw that it was five hundred taels.

I respectfully took the banknote with both hands and said:

"Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty. I will do my best to help you."

It seems that in addition to getting these five hundred taels of silver notes, my relationship with Concubine Hua is also quietly rising.

......

During this period of time, I have been very busy and have had little free time, only occasionally finding a moment of peace and contemplation.

Recently, I have been tightly entangled with four important matters: the first is to follow the emperor's order to take good care of the dragon offspring that Xia Dongchun is pregnant with; the second is to support her maid Huanbi at the request of Zhen Huan; the third is that Empress Hua ordered me to find a way to wear down Xia Dongchun's spirit; as for the fourth, it is the most difficult matter - the emperor asked me to think carefully about a good plan to help Zhen Huan restore her position.

At this moment, Baojuan gently served me a cup of fragrant tea, and I was able to savor it carefully and think slowly in this rare leisure time.

"My dear, the material we carefully selected and embroidered last time has been successfully completed. Did you know that the material we spent two thousand taels to purchase was miraculously sold for a high price of eight thousand taels?"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel delighted. This unexpected good news was like a spring breeze, allowing me to smile, a rare moment in this busy life.

"Oh? Is that true? What an unexpected and good result, Baojuan. Your news really makes me feel much better."

"One twentieth of the profit, you can divide it among yourself."

"My lord, you are so considerate of your servants. I will arrange the distribution right away."

"Go and prepare some more. Take these two thousand taels to Liang Duorui and ask him to select some more high-quality materials for us. I hope the sisters can keep up the good work and we can achieve more success."

Baojuan's face lit up with excitement when she heard this: "Yes, my lady, I will definitely live up to your expectations and do it right away."

Then I pocketed the remaining 5,600 taels.

"Wow! So much silver, my lady, hurry up and buy some delicious food!"

I was startled, then turned my head and my eyes fell on Xiao Tao who had just entered the room. Her face was filled with childlike excitement and innocence, and my heart couldn't help but warm.
