The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

"I and the others will serve the emperor wholeheartedly."

The Queen frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said:

"Last time, the emperor issued a decree that if a concubine became pregnant, a concubine from the same palace would be sent to care for her together with me, to show the royal family's benevolence. But this Suiyuxuan..."

As she spoke, the Queen sighed softly and swept her eyes over everyone, as if she was weighing something.

"I had originally hoped to allow Zhen Huan and Huan Bi to support each other and spend this time together, but now it seems I must make other plans."

My heart moved slightly, and I secretly guessed the Queen's intentions.

At this time, the Queen continued:

"I will personally report this to the Emperor. This matter requires further consideration to find the most appropriate arrangement. You have all worked hard today. Please disperse and return to your respective palaces."

"I will take my leave."

All the concubines spoke in unison, and then left the Queen's Jingren Palace one after another.

I followed the crowd out of the palace, but my heart was still savoring every word of the Queen. In fact, I understood that the Queen did not want to give Zhen Huan a chance.

Xiaotao followed closely behind me, her face full of concern and worry for me.

......

Back at the Yanxi Palace, as soon as I stepped into the palace gate, Xiao Tao came up to me impatiently and said anxiously:

"My lady, what should we do? It seems that the Queen doesn't want Zhen Huan to be restored to power."

I sighed softly, sat down in front of the dressing table, picked up the comb and slowly combed my long hair, but I was thinking about countermeasures in my heart.

"That's inevitable. Zhen Huan looks like Queen Chun Yuan, which is a thorn in the Queen's heart. Naturally, she doesn't want Zhen Huan to regain her favor."

Xiao Tao frowned even tighter when she heard this:

"So, we finally managed to get Huanbi pregnant, but now we're going to fail? Young Master, you have to think of a solution."

I put down the comb, turned around, looked at Xiaotao's anxious face, and a warm feeling surged in my heart.

In this turbulent harem, Xiaotao is the only one who will always be so loyal and stay by my side.

"Knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle. We might as well observe the Queen's actions first, and then act accordingly. Although the Queen is scheming, she is not invulnerable. Xiao Tao, go and get the Flower Shadow Scroll."

When Xiao Tao heard this, her eyes lit up and she immediately turned around and ran to get the flower shadow axis.

She carefully unfolded the scroll, which depicted a scene of blooming flowers. The flowers were blooming and vying for beauty, as if telling the story of the tenacity and indomitable spirit of life.

Xiaotao and I gazed at the scroll, our minds full of thoughts.

......

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is simple and solemn, its interior splendid yet exuding a sense of calm. The carved beams and painted buildings reveal the majesty and dignity of the royal family.

At this time, the queen was wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe, dignified and generous. Beside her was Concubine Qi, who was once Concubine Qi but now demoted to a noble lady. The two of them came together to pay their respects to the emperor.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a deep gaze. When he saw the two of them, although he was not very enthusiastic, he gave them enough face and nodded slightly to indicate that they didn't need to be polite.

The Empress and Concubine Qi sat down as instructed, on the seats given by the Emperor.

The Queen is gentle and dignified:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Bi from Suiyuxuan has promised good news: she is pregnant."

The emperor was delighted when he heard this:

"Oh? This is great news. I have another heir. God bless our Qing Dynasty."

Seeing this, the Queen took the opportunity to say:

"Your Majesty is right. This is a blessing for the royal family, and I am happy for you. As the mistress of the harem, I will do my best to take good care of every concubine for Your Majesty, especially those who are pregnant with the dragon heir. I have ordered the preparation of the best supplements and pregnancy-preserving medicines to ensure the safety of Princess Bi and the dragon heir."

After hearing this, the Emperor nodded with satisfaction, and looked at the Empress with a hint of appreciation in his eyes:

"The Queen is virtuous, and I am very pleased. With the Queen by my side, I am at ease with the affairs of the harem."

Upon hearing this, the Queen smiled modestly:

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I am only fulfilling my duty. However, the Emperor issued a decree last time, stating that if any concubine in the palace becomes pregnant, she will be cared for by the concubines in the same palace as me to ensure the safety of the heir. However, only Lady Bi and Lady Zhen live in Suiyuxuan now, and Lady Zhen is still under house arrest..."

"It doesn't matter!"

The Emperor interrupted the Queen:

"Since Bi promised to be pregnant, which is a great joy, I will allow Zhen to take care of her. After all, they live in the same palace, so it will be more convenient for them to take care of each other."

The Queen was displeased when she heard this, but she still maintained a dignified smile and said softly:

"But, Your Majesty, a confined concubine has many difficulties in moving around. I'm afraid I might be negligent in taking care of Bi-da."

The emperor waved his hand gently, his tone filled with unquestionable majesty:

"As a temporary measure, immediately release Zhen Da Ying from her house arrest so she can look after Bi Da Ying. This is only a temporary arrangement, not a restoration of her position. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry."

Seeing this, the queen sighed inwardly, knowing that it would be futile to say anything more at this moment.

She bowed slightly to show that she obeyed the order, and at the same time cast a subtle look at Concubine Qi beside her.

After receiving the Queen's subtle gaze, Concubine Qi immediately understood. She took a light step forward, her voice trembling and firm:

"Your Majesty, ever since I was demoted to a noble, I have been reflecting deeply on my mistakes every day. This time, I truly want to take care of Bi Da Ying sincerely to make up for my past mistakes. I beg Your Majesty to give me a chance to atone for my sins."

The emperor's eyes flickered when he heard this, and his tone was filled with a hint of tactful rejection:

"Lady Qi, I appreciate your kindness. However, matters concerning the harem require careful consideration. You were recently demoted and still need time to reflect on your mistakes. This may not be appropriate."

When Concubine Qi heard this, tears welled up in her eyes. She lowered her head slightly, her voice choking with sobs:

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. But please think about our Third Prince. He is the only prince raised in the palace and has an extremely noble status. But his biological mother is now only a noble. How can he survive in the palace? How can he make those servants feel in awe? I am truly concerned about our Third Prince's future..."

The emperor looked at Concubine Qi's tearful face, and a trace of annoyance appeared on his face, but his tone remained tactful:

"The Changchun Palace where you live is very far from the Suiyu Pavilion. How can you always take care of Bi Yingying? Moreover, Bi Yingying is pregnant now, and it would be inconvenient to move to another palace. I'm afraid it will disturb the fetus."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Qi seemed to have grasped a glimmer of hope and quickly said:

"Your Majesty, it is indeed inconvenient for Bi to move to my Changchun Palace, but I can move to Suiyuxuan to take care of her! I will stay by Bi's side and take good care of her."
