The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

Chapter 14, Chapter 4, The Queen's Plan

When I was young, I always heard my mother singing opera tunes, and I was influenced by her and hummed along.

Whenever I heard my mother singing "The Legend of the White Snake", I was always puzzled by the scene where Xiaoqing stole the treasure "Maid's Maid with Charm" from Prince Liang's Mansion, and the maid could dance to the music and hear the gurgling of water. Today I got to see it and I was amazed.

The picture shows the lifelike Jingren Palace and the scene of the emperor and the queen having a meal together.

Now, the characters in the painting vividly present the events of the past before my eyes.

The Queen served the Emperor a bowl of soup, with a virtuous and gentle expression:

"Your Majesty, last time I made a soup, you praised its flavor. Today I made it myself again."

"Well, the Queen is virtuous." The Emperor drank it all in one gulp: "As always!"

The Queen smiled with satisfaction. Then she seemed troubled:

"Your Majesty, which Concubine Wan is here, the one you praised earlier as 'the willows swaying in the yellow, the flowers hanging in the mist'? I originally arranged for her to live in Chengqian Palace, to receive your grace, but Concubine Hua's residence has been replaced by Suiyuxuan."

Jianqiu next to him echoed:

"That place is quite remote and simple. It was originally a place for watching operas. It was where Concubine Fang lived in the past."

The Queen asked with a look of regret:

"Wan Changzai is the emperor's favorite. I wonder what the emperor thinks? That place is very remote. If you agree with Hua Fei, then I will send some osmanthus flowers over to help her look more noble."

The emperor closed his eyes and sighed:

"Concubine Hua is still so prone to being petty. That's all. I have something to ask myself. This morning, Fang Ruo sent someone to report that she discovered that the personal maidservant Huanbi, whom Concubine Wan was trying to bring into the palace, was actually her younger sister. What do you think, Empress?"

"I think that even if she is my biological sister, I cannot save face for the Zhen family. It would be unfair to treat her as an ordinary palace maid."

"Yes, I want to make her a concubine first and keep her in the palace."

"Agree? Fine, then agree—two of the Han army's flag-bearing ladies have agreed. Although Huanbi is not a concubine, she can also keep the other one company."

"What's the other one?" The emperor seemed unable to remember.

"An Yingying, the daughter of An Bihuai, a county magistrate in Songyang. Although the Emperor values ​​the Han army, Huanbi was not selected for the imperial selection. Instead, the Zhen family wanted to send her in as a palace maid. Wouldn't it be too conspicuous for her to become a Yingying?"

The emperor said "Oh", and seemed to think what the queen said made sense:

"Then you should be made an official lady first. Your position in the palace shouldn't be too high."

"Your Majesty is wise. The two sisters entering the palace together can serve as good companions. However, there are also great differences between them. I hope they can live in harmony in the future and avoid any rifts."

"The title of Zhen's eldest daughter will be retained, and the rest of the queens can decide for themselves."

"Yes, in my opinion, it would be better to first allow Wei Wan to agree, and then promote her after entering the palace. This would be legitimate and would not attract criticism. But why did the Zhen family conceal this matter? Is there something fishy going on? I really don't understand."

The emperor thought for a moment and uttered a few words:

"Then Queen, please pay more attention to me in the future."

So that's how it is. It was all the Queen's clever planning.

The queen was very cunning and was able to persuade the emperor with just a few words.

He demoted Zhen Huan's position and promoted the insignificant "official girl" Huanbi, without giving the emperor any face.

However, it seems that Huanbi's life experience has successfully aroused the emperor's suspicion. If any news is leaked later, it will cause an uproar.

The Oleander Elf only had one free question left, and there were only fifty-six taels of silver. Even if he lived frugally on a daily basis, it would be difficult to support two more questions.

We have to find a way to get some money.
