The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

"Xiapin, don't think that just because you are pregnant with the heir, you can act recklessly and look down on others."

Concubine Hua's voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Xia Dongchun's heart.

Xia Dongchun bit her lip, a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, but facing the majesty of Concubine Hua, she could only lower her head, her voice slightly aggrieved:

"I only spoke out to remind you because I saw that Zhen Da Ying was being rude."

After saying this, Xia Dongchun tried to subtly mock Concubine Hua:

"I know my status is humble, and I dare not be compared with Your Majesty. But I have also heard that despite Your Majesty's high position and power, she has not been able to give birth to a heir for the Emperor. In the end, when it comes to matters in the palace, offspring are the most important."

Speaking of offspring, this topic was like a sharp needle that deeply hurt Concubine Hua's heart.

Her face turned pale in an instant, and she said angrily:

"It seems that I didn't give out the "one zhang of scarlet" last year. Concubine Xia didn't learn her lesson and won't learn her lesson!"

When Xia Dongchun heard the words "Yi Zhang Hong", he was so scared that his face turned pale and his body trembled involuntarily.

But she quickly regained her composure, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes:

"Your Highness, I didn't mean to offend you. If I said 'a hundred scalds', it would be a bloody word. If it frightened the unborn child of me and Bi Da Ying, I would be afraid of violating a taboo..."

"Just what?"

Concubine Hua interrupted her, her tone full of sarcasm:

"Even if you were pregnant, you were only a minor noble, and you only became a concubine because the emperor conferred titles on the six concubines. Do you really think the emperor conferred titles solely because of your pregnancy? That's ridiculous!"

Xia Dongchun felt a pang of pain in her heart at Concubine Hua's words, but she still refused to give in and forced a smile:

"Your Highness is right. I was only able to be promoted by the grace of the Emperor. Although I dare not compare myself with Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Hua Guifei has no children, yet she was promoted to the rank of Imperial Concubine. If she had children, wouldn't she have surpassed the Empress?"

Concubine Hua's face instantly turned ashen, and she was furious:

"Xiapin, how dare you speak so arrogantly in front of me!"

"Who wants to pass by me?"

Just as Concubine Hua was furious and was about to punish Xia Dongchun, a majestic and steady voice was heard.

When everyone looked in the direction of the voice, they saw the Queen, dressed in a luxurious palace dress, walking towards them gracefully, with an unquestionable majesty on her face.

"May the Empress live in peace and happiness. Your humble servants pay their respects to you."

When Xia Dongchun saw the Queen coming, she was both terrified and relieved. She quickly crawled a few steps and knelt in front of the Queen, her voice filled with tears:

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua wants to punish me again. I am pregnant, but I cannot bear it. Please support me, Your Majesty."

The queen glanced at everyone present, and finally fixed her eyes on Concubine Hua and Xia Dongchun.

"Noble Concubine Hua, as the head of all the concubines and in charge of the six palaces, you should set an example and be lenient to others. Although Concubine Xia did something inappropriate, there is no need for you to be so angry. As for Concubine Xia, as a concubine, you should be more cautious in your words and actions and not make irresponsible remarks about the affairs of the harem."

When Xia Dongchun heard this, although she was dissatisfied, she did not dare to argue anymore. She could only lower her head and silently endure the queen's rebuke.

At this time, Concubine Hua spoke, her voice filled with unquestionable majesty:

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. Rules are paramount in the harem. But I would like to ask, if from now on, every time a woman becomes pregnant, she can embarrass her sisters of lower rank and disrespect the concubines of higher rank, then what is the point of having rules in the harem? How can such an atmosphere maintain harmony and peace in the harem?"

The Queen's eyes were filled with questions:

"What does Concubine Hua think?"

"Considering that Concubine Xia is pregnant, and for the sake of the heir, I cannot punish her. However, the death penalty is inevitable, and living punishment is unavoidable. Concubine Xia is used to not knowing the rules, so I thought of having Concubine Xia copy the "Female Training" and come to the Yikun Palace every day to copy it, and I will teach her personally. On the one hand, it will allow her to cultivate her character, and on the other hand, it will allow her to understand the rules of the harem and stop acting recklessly. Your Majesty, do you think I would secretly frame Concubine Xia while she is pregnant in the Yikun Palace?"

Yikun Palace?!

There is Huan Yi Xiang there!

I stood aside and was shocked. I was secretly worried about Xia Dongchun's future, afraid that the Huanyixiang from Yiku Palace would harm her dragon fetus.

When the Empress heard Concubine Hua's proposal, she was stunned for a moment. Then she held her forehead with a look of pain on her face:

"Jianqiu, my headache has come back. It hurts so much!"

Upon hearing this, Jianqiu immediately took a step forward nervously, held the Queen's arm, and said with concern:

"Your Majesty, the wind in the Imperial Garden is too strong. You must have been blown away. Let me help you back home."

The Queen nodded, looking a little tired. She turned to look at Concubine Hua, her tone filled with helplessness and instructions:

"Noble Concubine Hua, you have the power to assist in the management of the six palaces, and you are the head of all the concubines. You... you can do whatever you want. This palace has a headache and can't think about anything else. But you must prioritize your offspring and do not harm the heir to the throne."

When Concubine Hua heard this, a hint of pride and satisfaction flashed in her eyes. She bowed slightly and said:

"Yes, I obey your command. I will do my utmost to protect the heir and maintain the order and harmony of the harem. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I respectfully bid you farewell."

"Your Highness, I respectfully bid you farewell to the Empress."

Besides me, the Queen must have also understood the secret hidden in the "Huan Yi Xiang" in the Yiku Palace.

She had always regarded the fetus in Xia Dongchun's belly as a thorn in her side, and the previous conspiracy of the "cinnabar incense burner" had failed, which made her feel quite unwilling.

Now, Concubine Hua proposed a plan to let Xia Dongchun go to Yiku Palace for training, which undoubtedly gave the Queen a good opportunity to get rid of a major worry.

The Empress was extremely shrewd in responding to Concubine Hua's proposal. She neither agreed nor rejected it, and she didn't hesitate to express her opinion. This attitude not only maintained her dignity and dignity, but also allowed her to secretly control the direction of the situation.

If anything really goes wrong in the future, the queen can naturally deny it and put all the blame on the self-righteous and ambitious Concubine Hua.

The Queen's move was a two-pronged approach. First, she could get rid of Xia Dongchun and her unborn child, and second, she could use the opportunity to make Concubine Hua make a mistake.

At this moment, Xiao Tao beside me suddenly pulled my sleeve:

"My lady, please think of a solution quickly. If Xia Dongchun is harmed by Huan Yixiang, not only will we not be crowned as concubines, but we will also be demoted."

What Xiaotao is worried about is exactly what I am worried about.

Hua Fei raised a cold smile and said to Xia Dongchun:

"Xiapin, you first oppressed the concubines, and then committed insubordination. Considering that you are carrying the heir of the emperor, I will not let you suffer physical pain. However, punishment is still necessary. I will allow you to come to Yikun Palace every day and serve you with delicious food and drink. However, you must come and copy the "Female Training" every day until I am satisfied, so that you can learn the rules of this palace."
