The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

"Sisters, I have some good news to share with you today."

Her voice was soft and clear, and every word seemed to be carefully crafted, falling into everyone's heart just right.

"In recent days, the palace has been flooded with good news. First, Concubine Xia announced her pregnancy, and then Concubine Bi was also confirmed to be pregnant with a Dragon Child. This is a blessing for our Qing Dynasty! Furthermore, it has been a long time since the Emperor has bestowed honors upon the six concubines..."

Before the queen finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps outside the palace. Then, Su Peisheng appeared at the door. He was holding a golden imperial edict, walking steadily with his usual respect and caution on his face.

"Greetings to Her Majesty. Greetings to all the ladies and ladies. Your Majesty, I have an important matter to report."

Su Peisheng's voice was neither too loud nor too low, but it just happened to interrupt the queen's narration, causing the atmosphere in the entire hall to freeze instantly.

The queen nodded slightly and motioned Su Peisheng to come forward.

Su Peisheng took two steps forward, respectfully presented the imperial edict with both hands, and whispered:

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has issued an imperial decree requiring me to read it here today."

At this time, all the concubines including the Queen stood up and knelt in the main hall, waiting to hear the imperial edict.

Su Peisheng cleared his throat:

"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:

Recently, joyful news has been pouring in from the palace: two concubines are pregnant with dragon offspring. This is truly an auspicious omen for the Qing Dynasty, and I am deeply pleased. To demonstrate the emperor's immense grace, I have issued a special decree to confer titles upon the six harems, signaling a flourishing era.

I hereby enclose:

Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan have been promoted to Imperial Concubines, their ranks have been elevated, and they have been given more honors. I hope you will continue to abide by the code of conduct for women, assist me, and contribute to the prosperity of this era.

Jingpin and Lipin have been promoted to imperial concubines. Their positions are honorable. They should be diligent, respectful and obedient to carry out my orders.

Noble Lady Qi, Noble Lady An, Noble Lady Xia, Noble Lady Fucha, and Noble Lady Cao have all been promoted to concubines. You are both talented and virtuous, and you should be encouraged to carry on the past and open up the future.

Chun Changzai and Xin Changzai were promoted to noble ladies, and Bi agreed to be promoted to Changzai. I hope you will perform your duties conscientiously and live up to my grace.

This decree is effective immediately. All concubines in the palace should remain in their respective positions, strictly abide by the palace rules, and work together for the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty. "I decree!"

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace. Long live the Emperor."

After hearing this, all the concubines were delighted and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

Hua Fei spoke first, with a hint of subtle pride in her voice:

"My father-in-law has brought me here to thank the Emperor. I will certainly assist the Empress in managing the six palaces. My brother will continue to help the Emperor with his worries and difficulties, and be loyal to the Qing Dynasty."

Jingpin and Lipin looked at each other, their eyes gleaming with joy, and said together:

"I, your humble servant, will live up to your Majesty's high expectations, fulfill my duties, and contribute to the great Qing Dynasty."

Although I knew the good news yesterday, I was also very excited, but I still kept a faint smile on my face and kowtowed with the other concubines:

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace. May your blessings last forever, and may the Qing Dynasty enjoy peace and prosperity."

At this time, Su Peisheng stepped forward:

"The consecration ceremony has been ordered to be held on an auspicious day. I would like to congratulate all the ladies and gentlemen here. If you have any instructions, please let me know and I will do my best to see it through. I will withdraw now."

After Su Peisheng left, the queen returned to her richly decorated throne in a dignified manner, and the concubines also returned to their seats. The palace returned to its former order and tranquility.

The Queen spoke slowly, her voice carrying a hint of majesty and gentleness:

"Congratulations to all the sisters first. This grand appointment of the six palaces is due to the emperor's great grace and is also the result of your daily diligence."

Upon hearing this, all the concubines bowed their heads, with expressions of humility and joy on their faces, and said in unison:

"Thank you, Queen, for your grace."

The Queen smiled slightly and continued:

"However, as your rank rises, the configuration of your palaces should indeed be adjusted to make them more prestigious. Take the Yanxi Palace, for example. Suddenly, there are three main seats: Fucha Concubine, An Concubine, and Xia Concubine. It seems a bit crowded and out of place."

The Queen paused for a moment and then continued:

"However, two of the concubines in the palace are pregnant with dragon offspring. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to make a big fuss and move palaces, as it might disturb the dragon fetus. It would be better if I and Sister Hua Fei carefully planned and found a solution that would satisfy both parties before notifying the other palaces."

Upon hearing this, all the concubines nodded in agreement, secretly speculating about the delicate relationship between the Queen and Concubine Hua, as well as the possible hidden meaning behind this upcoming palace adjustment.

"Let's stop here for today's discussion. Sisters, please leave."

Upon hearing this, all the concubines stood up and bowed respectfully to take their leave.

After all the concubines left, I slowly walked into my own bedroom, still thinking about the Queen's words about changing palaces.

At this time, Xiao Tao quietly came to my side with a look of worry on her face:

"Miss, regarding the Empress's statement about changing the palace, I have a feeling that this isn't that simple. Will the Empress do something about it?"

I sighed softly, a hint of determination flashing in my eyes:

"Xiao Tao, you're right. The Queen is a cunning and shrewd person. She will definitely intervene in this matter and may even use this opportunity to eliminate dissidents and consolidate her position. But we can't just sit there and wait for death. We can only respond to each move as it comes."

......

In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and the Queen has still not made any move regarding the rearrangement of the bedroom. However, the allergies on Xia Dongchun's cheeks are getting worse and worse, and the redness, swelling and itching seem to bother her endlessly.

As a result, her temperament became more irritable and her emotions were like the sea surface swept by a strong wind, difficult to calm down.

At this moment, Xia Dongchun is six months pregnant. Her belly is growing bigger and bigger, like a plump fruit, foreshadowing the coming of a new life.

I heard that moderate exercise is very beneficial for pregnant women during childbirth, so I often accompanied her for strolls on the quiet paths of the Imperial Garden.

In spring, the flowers are fragrant and the greenery is lush.

"Oh, my face, when will it get better? The emperor hasn't seen me for a long time, probably because of my face."

I quickly whispered to comfort her:

"Sister Xia, don't think that. The emperor is very busy, and perhaps he just hasn't found the time to visit you yet."

"May Concubine An live forever, and may Concubine Xia live forever."

I turned around slowly, my eyes involuntarily following the direction of the voice, only to see Zhen Huan and Huanbi walking towards me.

Zhen Huan was originally under house arrest, but now she is temporarily freed because she has to take care of the pregnant Huanbi, but she has not been officially reinstated.

Beside her, Huanbi's belly was slightly bulging, and the gentle glow of pregnancy added a touch of gentleness to her.

Originally, Zhen Huan, Huanbi and I all thought of ourselves as sisters, but because Xia Dongchun was present, they both greeted Xia Dongchun and me meticulously.

At that moment, my heart was filled with an indescribable emotion, mixed with an irrepressible joy.
