The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

Upon hearing this, Fuchapin's face was immediately filled with anger. She seemed to be in disbelief that I dared to speak to her like this:

"What is your origin? How dare you ask me to bow to you! I am from the Manchu Fucha clan! Speaking of the main seat, I am obviously a concubine, and my family background should be superior to yours, but now you are sitting in the main seat of the first palace. If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Xia in the East Wing Palace gave birth to a princess, how could you have sat in the main seat of the first palace in the Yanxi Palace!"

I smiled lightly, with a hint of coldness in my eyes:

"If you're talking about luck, since you and I are both from the Yanxi Palace, why didn't the Emperor order you to take care of Concubine Xia's pregnancy? Is it possible that Concubine Fucha doesn't know the reason behind this? The fact that I was able to obtain this position was the Emperor's will, so how could you so easily interfere?"

"Humph, we're all in Yanxi Palace together. Everyone knows that when you were still a concubine, you ran to the East Side Palace like a lapdog all day long, just to curry favor with Concubine Xia! Now it's your turn to take care of her. But since you claim to be the mistress of the First Palace, how come you don't even know about such a big thing as Concubine Chun's relocation? I think your so-called mistress of the First Palace is just an empty title! Sooner or later, the Emperor will depose you from your position!"

After saying this, Concubine Fucha left angrily. I shook my head slightly, thinking secretly about the right and wrong in the harem.

Just as I was about to turn around and go back to the house, Concubine Chun had walked up to my side without me noticing. She asked with concern, "Sister An, it's so cold, why are you standing here?"

"It's okay, I just came out to get some fresh air. I heard you're moving to Suiyuxuan soon?"

Concubine Chun's face was filled with an expectant smile: "Yes, Sister Zhen and I both love lively places, so we naturally get along better."

Yes, we have similar backgrounds, so naturally we get along better.

Just now, Concubine Fucha used my background as a topic to mock me.

Even though I am now a concubine and the head of a palace in Yanx Palace, I can still feel the disdain and disrespect from the concubines.

My humble origins seem to be a label that I can never erase, and it often becomes a hidden pain deep in my heart.

......

"My lady, the Queen is here."

I walked into my main temple, exhausted both physically and mentally, and just wanted to lie down and rest as soon as possible.

As soon as she settled down in bed, Baojuan pushed the door open and came in to report.

Xiao Tao said to me:

"My lady, we don't have those 'puppets' or anything like that right now. I'm sure that even if the Queen suddenly arrives, she won't be able to catch us with anything!"

There was a hint of pride in her words, as if she was quite proud of her recent cautiousness.

I nodded slightly, and then the queen walked in.

"May the Queen be blessed with happiness and peace of mind."

"Get up. I heard you had a cough these past two days, so I came to see you."

After saying that, Jianqiu, who was beside the queen, brought two boxes of Dong'e Ejiao and placed them on the table.

"Look at you, you're so cold. Come, lie down quickly."

At this moment, the queen lifted the quilt on my bed without saying anything.

My heart was at peace, without the slightest panic or anxiety, because I knew this time it wouldn't be like last time, when that doll suddenly fell out from under the covers and caused endless turmoil.

"What is this?!"

Following the Queen's surprised question, I looked over and was surprised to find that—

Puppet!

It is exactly the same as the one in the previous life, and it still has the Hetian jade pendant awarded by Concubine Hua hanging on it!

Xiao Tao also widened her eyes and screamed in disbelief:

"Where did this doll come from? We've never made anything like this!"

I stood there in a daze, my heart filled with shock and confusion.

"This jade pendant, I remember, was given to you and Zhen Da Ying by Concubine Hua, one each. You actually used it to curse. Are you cursing Concubine Hua or Zhen Da Ying?"

I was filled with surprise, but quickly explained:

"It's unfair! Your Majesty, I really don't know where this doll came from!"

The Queen's face was solemn as she asked:

"Unjustly accused? This was clearly found under your bed, how could you be completely unaware of it?"

I pleaded urgently:

"Empress, please be discerning. I have been wronged!"

However, the Queen Mother seemed to turn a deaf ear to my explanation and simply coldly concluded that it was my fault:

"Since this is your first offense, I will pretend I didn't see it today. You must be careful in the future and never do it again."

After saying that, the Queen Mother stared at me with a sharp gaze, which made me feel creepy.

But her tone sounded very gentle:

"Princess An, you have always been the most humble and polite. This palace likes you from the bottom of its heart. This time, this palace will cover for you and prevent it from getting out of hand. If you have any grievances in the future, feel free to confide in me."

I forced a smile, but my mind was rapidly calculating the Queen's intentions like the beating of a drum. This was undoubtedly an obvious attempt to win over and show goodwill, how could I not hear it?

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am deeply grateful."

I whispered back, trying to stay calm.

Seeing my indifferent reaction, the Queen smiled softly and handed the doll in her hand to Jianqiu beside her:

"I'll keep this puppet for you. You should rest and recuperate first. There are many things going on in the palace today. Although Concubine Hua has the power to assist in managing the six palaces, she is always unable to do her job. I'm thinking of finding someone to share my worries..."

There was a hint of temptation in the Queen's words.

I bowed slightly and replied respectfully:

"I am a dull and incompetent concubine, but I will obey the Empress' orders."

Aunt Jianqiu, standing aside, took over the conversation in a tone that was both considerate and a bit worried:

"Indeed, Your Majesty. Concubine Xia just gave birth to a princess, and the joy has not yet faded. Then, Concubine Bi is pregnant with a dragon fetus. It is truly a great joy for the harem. However, this has also increased the things that need to be worried about in the palace. Although the arrival of children has brought endless joy and hope, the tedious affairs that come with it have also caused Your Majesty to suffer from frequent headaches. It is really heartbreaking."

The queen gently rubbed her temples, as if the headache had come back. She sighed softly:

"Ah, yes, my health is getting worse and worse. Moreover, the restoration of Zhen Yun is on the agenda."

Having said that, the Queen's gentle yet profound gaze fell on me, with concern in her eyes, as if she was weighing something.

But I knew in my heart that what she said was all false:

"My dear Concubine An, I understand you best. You have always been gentle and virtuous, and you know how to sympathize with me. But if Concubine Zhen is reinstated, her position in the Emperor's heart will not be shaken in a day or two. At that time, it will be even more difficult for you to win the Emperor's favor again."
