The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

Looking at Zhen Huan again, there was a barely perceptible worry on her face, as if she was still worried about what had just happened in Yikun Palace.

So, I suggested sending Zhen Huan to Sui Yuxuan first.

After entering the Suiyu Pavilion, Zhou Ninghai took out two brocade boxes and opened them. Inside each box was a Hetian jade pendant.

"Thank you for your help tonight, young ladies. This is a gift from Concubine Hua."

"Thank you."

I took the Hetian jade pendant.

"If the two young masters have nothing else to do, then I will take my leave."

After saying that, Zhou Ninghai left Shuiyuxuan.

I looked at Zhen Huan's gloomy expression and said:

"This is your place now, cry if you want to."

Deep down in my heart, I actually have a subtle expectation, hoping to see Zhen Huan reveal her vulnerable side.

However, she didn't. Instead, she had a look of indignation on her face, as if she was having a silent battle with a corner of her heart:

"Now that the Emperor values ​​Nian Gengyao, Concubine Hua is also very proud. As long as Nian Gengyao is around, the Emperor will not neglect Concubine Hua."

I saw Zhen Huan pretending to be strong, so I fanned the flames and said:

"How can it be so easy? I see that besides Nian Gengyao, the Emperor and Concubine Hua are also truly in love with each other."

My words were like a thin needle, inadvertently piercing the calm surface of Zhen Huan's heart, stirring up circles of ripples that were difficult to calm down.

She slowly closed her eyes and remained silent. An elusive trace of sadness passed across her beautiful face, as if she was recalling the past, or savoring the bitterness of the present.

Thinking back to my previous life, I was always the first target of Concubine Hua's troubles and humiliation. However, Zhen Huan, as my companion, although she was in the midst of it, always gave me warm comfort with a detached attitude.

At that time, she seemed to be a bystander, looking at my burst of emotions with an attitude that was almost pity.

However, things are unpredictable, and things change. Today, Zhen Huan has also entered the predicament I once experienced. How can she be as relaxed and at ease as before?

After all, how many people in this world can truly empathize? Most of the time, we simply judge others' joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness from our own perspective, simply attributing them to weakness.

......

"Ah! My stomach hurts! Am I about to give birth?"

"Baojuan! Go get the imperial physician! Go get the midwife, quickly!"

......

Time flies and two months have passed since the last time I performed music in Yiku Palace.

Today, it is snowing heavily, and the white-clad Yanxi Palace looks particularly quiet and solemn.

On this cold winter day, the entire Yanxi Palace is busy because Xia Dongchun is about to face the most important moment in her life - childbirth.

After several hours of anxious waiting, accompanied by a crisp cry, Xia Dongchun finally successfully gave birth to a baby girl.

The delivery process was extremely difficult. Xia Dongchun's face was covered with sweat and her lips trembled slightly due to the pain, but her determined eyes never left the child in the midwife's arms.

When the little life finally came into the world, Xia Dongchun's face blossomed with the radiance of motherhood, and all the pain and fatigue turned into endless joy at this moment.

At this moment, I was in the west wing hall, staring at Xia Dongchun who was lying on the bed, looking a little tired but still full of happiness.

Beside her, the little life that had just arrived lay quietly. Its face was as delicate as Xia Dongchun's, its skin translucent and luminous. Its eyes, clear as water, sometimes opened, sometimes closed, and every blink seemed to express its curiosity and love for the world.

Looking at this scene, my heart is filled with relief and joy.

After taking care of Xia Dongchun's fetus for ten months, the fetus has finally been born safely. My mission of taking care of the dragon fetus has also been successfully completed. I feel relieved and am waiting for the arrival of the concubine position promised by the emperor.

"Has the Emperor been here yet..."

Xia Dongchun asked the maid beside her weakly.

"My lady, the Emperor is still in the Yangxin Palace, and the Empress is also there."

"Idiot! Hurry...quickly ask the Emperor to come and see the little princess."

"Yes...I will go immediately."

......

After a while, someone entered the Yanxi Palace.

This was not the emperor, but Su Peisheng, who was beside the emperor. He was followed by some eunuchs, who were holding some ordinary rewards in their hands.

"Good luck to Concubine An. Good luck to Concubine Xia."

"Why is it you? Where is the emperor?"

"My dear, the Emperor is...he is discussing 'important matters' with the Empress and cannot come at the moment. He has sent a servant to deliver the reward."

I stood quietly by, my eyes calm and deep, staring at Su Peisheng's slightly embarrassed face.

He spoke hesitantly and evasively, obviously trying to avoid the main point and convey some unpleasant news in a more tactful way.

I smiled slightly, and I understood in my heart - there was no so-called "important matter", it was just that the emperor was too lazy to come today.

Su Peisheng was known for his ability to read people's expressions and his ability to interact with people in various ways. His words were always carefully crafted to avoid offending anyone while subtly conveying the emperor's intentions. His remarks today were his usual diplomatic tactics, an attempt to maintain a respectable appearance in front of Xia Dongchun.

However, Xia Dongchun's expression was not good. Her face was full of disappointment, and her eyes, which were originally full of expectation, became dull and lifeless, as if they had lost all their colors.

She clutched the handkerchief tightly, her fingertips turning slightly white from the force, clearly trying to control her inner emotions.

"Oh... Then I'll take the princess to pay my respects to the emperor some other day..."

However, Xia Dongchun looked past Su Peisheng and saw the rewards in the hands of the eunuchs behind her, and she became even more displeased:

"Why is the reward so small? It doesn't look like anything valuable!"

Su Peisheng smiled apologetically:

"I am a humble servant, and I have never seen anything good. I think these rewards are already very good... In addition,"

Su Peisheng smiled and turned to me and saluted:

"The Emperor has issued an oral decree. Concubine An has been commended for her service in caring for the dragon fetus. According to the previously established rules, she will be promoted to the rank of Concubine and moved to the main hall of Yanxi Palace, becoming the head of the Yanxi Palace. This servant congratulates Concubine An."

I was made a concubine.

Compared with the ups and downs in my previous life, all this happened so quickly and so beautifully, as if fate was smiling gently at me.

Although I have not been given a specific title yet, my heart is unusually peaceful, and I even feel a little fortunate.

Because the word "An" is perfect enough for me, and I don't want to be bound by any other title, especially the word "Li" that once made me feel disgusted.
