The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System
Chapter 167: Pine Cat at the Flower Viewing Meeting
The footsteps of spring arrived quietly, bringing with them the breath of revival of all things. Even the epidemic seemed to feel the warmth of spring and quickly dissipated.
Today, the Queen sent a message to all the palaces, saying that the flowers in Jingren Palace have already bloomed, with colorful and beautiful scenes. She specially invited the sisters from all the palaces to go together to enjoy the flowers and participate in the event.
Hearing this, my heart wasn't as calm as it appeared. The Queen was as deep as the ocean, and every one of her actions held hidden meaning.
Seeing that I was worried, Xiao Tao couldn't help but ask:
"Your Majesty, the Empress suddenly invited us to enjoy the flowers. What's she up to? We are no longer her followers, and we no longer need to be manipulated by her. We won't be fooled by her trick of using that cat, Pine Nut, to pounce on us last time. There must be something fishy going on at this flower viewing event."
I sighed softly and looked out the window. The newly blooming flowers swayed gently in the breeze, as if telling the story of spring.
"Those who come with ill intentions will not come. The Queen must have a purpose for this action. We must proceed with caution and not fall into her trap. The most important thing right now is the mission with Oleander. We must protect Concubine Fucha's baby and allow her to safely give birth to the heir."
Xiao Tao's expression turned serious when she heard this. She nodded, a determined light flashing in her eyes.
"Yes, my lady. I will be vigilant at all times and will not allow anyone to take advantage of me. However, there is one thing I must not forget..."
I tilted my head slightly and looked at her, already guessing what she was going to say next:
"Are you talking about...Zhen Huan being pregnant?"
"Exactly. That day was also the day when we were enjoying the flowers, and that was also when Zhen Huan discovered she was pregnant."
I reached out and touched my flat abdomen, a hint of gentle desire in my eyes:
"Yeah, when will I be able to get pregnant and have a child of my own? That would be such a wonderful thing."
Seeing me like this, Xiao Tao quickly stepped forward to comfort me:
"Don't be discouraged, Your Majesty. Even if you don't have any biological children now, you still have the most children in the palace! Princess Zhiqiu is smart, lively and lovely; the Fourth Prince is even more wise, precocious, sensible and filial. They are all your support and your comfort in this deep palace."
I forced a smile and nodded.
"You're right. I will take good care of them and will be more careful not to give anyone the chance to hurt them."
After saying that, I stood up, walked to the bronze mirror, and began to carefully choose my outfit for today's flower viewing.
I knew that today's flower viewing event was not only a visual feast, but also a test of the mind. I had to be at my best to remain invincible in this war without gunpowder.
......
"This Jingren Palace has the best geomantic energy, but you have the best fortune. It's been four months, right?"
In full view of everyone, the Queen gently stroked Concubine Fucha's bulging belly in a seemingly gentle and friendly manner. At that moment, the alarm bells in my heart suddenly rang, and an inexplicable uneasiness spread throughout my body like ice.
I clearly remember that in my previous life, it was on such an occasion that Concubine Fucha was suddenly attacked by a cat. She fell down in fear, which eventually led to the heartbreaking miscarriage.
Therefore, this time, I must not sit idly by and let the tragedy happen again.
I had instructed Xiaotao to follow Fuchapin closely, like an invisible guardian, always alert to any movements around her.
After Xiao Tao received the order, an unprecedented seriousness and concentration immediately appeared on her face. Her eyes were fixed on Concubine Fucha, as if she was using her eyes to build an indestructible line of defense for her.
As the flower viewing party progressed, the Queen and other concubines laughed and chatted happily. It seemed to be a harmonious and beautiful scene, but I knew that behind this glamour, there were so many unknown calculations and conspiracies hidden.
I prayed secretly, hoping that Concubine Fucha would be safe and sound and get through this smoothly.
"I heard that when Concubine Qi was pregnant, the Third Prince was already strong and rambunctious, so now he's a bit impatient, and it's hard for the Emperor to teach him."
"you......"
Concubine Qi was so angry at Concubine Hua that she was speechless. At this time, Concubine Fucha, who was in the same party as Concubine Qi, came out to offend people again:
"That's true. Only Sister Qi, the strong and boisterous one, can withstand this. How can the delicate body of Concubine Hua withstand the hardship of bearing children?"
......
"Lady Wan's nose is really effective. This is specially made for me by the Emperor. It will not harm the fetus and will moisturize the skin..."
When I heard Concubine Fucha casually mention the box of perfume powder, my heart suddenly trembled, as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible force.
That box of perfume powder was the one I carefully copied in my previous life in order to guide the pine cat to pounce on Concubine Fucha.
Xiaotao noticed that something was wrong with me. She touched my arm gently and looked at me to see what happened.
I forced a smile to try to hide my inner panic, but the reluctance and stiffness betrayed my true emotions.
"Since it's a gift from the Emperor, Concubine Fucha, you should keep it well. It's best to set it up on an altar. You said you applied it on your face and it's been exposed to the wind and sun, and the Emperor's gift will melt... Sister, let's go. Who hasn't been pregnant before? I can't bear to see her in this state."
"Oh, Concubine Xin, don't forget that you are a member of my palace, and the Princess Baji you gave birth to is also my daughter. Fortunately, I am now a concubine, and I can raise the child myself. I don't have to hand over the child to a higher-ranking official like some others. I think that must be very hard, right? Rather than that, it would be better not to give birth. Don't you agree, Concubine Xin?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xin's face turned pale. Although she was unwilling, she had no choice but to accept it because her princess was currently being fostered in Concubine Fucha's palace, and what Concubine Fucha said was true. She was speechless for a moment.
She bit her lower lip lightly, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, but she remained calm and restrained, unwilling to argue with Concubine Fucha.
Concubine Qi said:
"The weather is so nice today, why don't you, Queen, bring the pine nuts out."
"The cat that Concubine Qi loves the most is Songzi. She wants to hold him all day long now that he's here, but Concubine Wan is afraid of him. Well, Jianqiu, go get Songzi."
After the Queen finished speaking those profound and complex words, Xiao Tao and I both shivered involuntarily, as if an invisible cold wind had penetrated the hustle and bustle of the bustling palace and reached deep into our hearts.
Although I knew very well that I had not done anything to tamper with Concubine Fucha's powder this time, the situation in the palace was unpredictable and people's hearts were even more difficult to guess. Therefore, Xiaotao and I couldn't help but follow Concubine Fucha quietly, keeping a certain distance, so that we could be protected at any time in case of any emergency.
