The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is magnificent, with a dragon throne hanging high and flickering candlelight, creating a solemn and warm scene.

The carved beams and painted buildings in the hall seemed to be bathed in this sudden joy, adding a bit of liveliness and peace.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, with a spring-like smile on his face and an excitement in his voice that was hard to conceal:

"God bless our Great Qing! Concubine Fucha's good news came a few months ago, and now Concubine Wan and Concubine An are also pregnant. This is truly a great blessing for the country!"

The Queen, dressed in gorgeous palace attire, stood dignifiedly to one side, her face filled with genuine joy. She looked at the Emperor tenderly and echoed softly:

"Yes, Your Majesty, it has been a long time since this palace has received such exciting news. As soon as I heard this good news, I couldn't wait to share it with Your Majesty, so as soon as Your Majesty returned to the palace, I immediately came to report it."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor's gaze softened, and he looked at the Empress with eyes full of trust and gratitude:

"The Queen is virtuous, and I am very pleased. I am delighted to have three heirs at once, but this also means that the Queen will have to worry even more."

The Queen bowed slightly, her tone firm but gentle:

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Taking care of the royal heir and protecting the dragon veins are my responsibilities as the empress. I will do my utmost to live up to your trust."

The Emperor looked at the Empress with a gentle gaze, his tone filled with determination:

"Reverend Wan has been a noble lady for a long time, and now she is pregnant. We should promote her to show the emperor's great grace."

Upon hearing this, the Queen showed an expression of approval and said softly, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. Concubine Wan is gentle and virtuous, and she is pregnant. Her promotion should be handled as soon as possible. However..."

The Queen paused slightly, as if hesitant:

"Promoting to the rank of concubine means she will be the head of a palace, and Concubine Wan is certainly worthy of this honor. However, Suiyuxuan is currently occupied by Concubine Li, who is the head of a palace and raising Princess Luyin. If Concubine Wan is also arranged to move in, Suiyuxuan will have two heads, which seems inappropriate according to the palace regulations."

The emperor frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said:

"Your Majesty is very considerate. This matter is indeed inconvenient. Perhaps we can choose another place as Concubine Li's residence."

The Queen shook her head slightly, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her eyes:

"Concubine Li is currently raising Princess Luyin. If you rashly transfer Concubine Li, it may deepen Bi Changzai's sorrow. This matter requires careful consideration."

Upon hearing this, the emperor frowned, obviously weighing the pros and cons.

After a moment, he slowly spoke:

"The Queen is right. This matter does require careful consideration. However, I believe that Concubine Wan has always been sensible and considerate of the overall situation. As long as we can treat her commensurate with the status of a concubine, she will naturally not interfere too much in the affairs of the main position. Furthermore, although the rules of the palace are strict, they are not unyielding. I believe there is always a way to achieve the best of both worlds."

The Queen took over the conversation with a gentle smile on her face and a hint of wit in her tone:

"Your Majesty is wise. However, she is not the only pregnant concubine. There are also Concubine Fucha and Concubine An. If only Concubine Wan is promoted, it will inevitably appear to be partial to one over the other. For this reason, I think that in order to demonstrate the emperor's great grace and to balance the various forces in the palace, it would be wise to promote Concubine Fucha to Concubine and Concubine An to Noble Concubine. This way, it can not only show the emperor's regard for the heir, but also let everyone in the palace feel the emperor's grace."

The emperor nodded slightly, obviously considering the queen's suggestion.

Seeing this, the Queen continued, "Furthermore, according to the old palace rules, the concubines in the same palace are obligated to take care of the pregnant concubines. When the three heirs are born safely, three more concubines will be promoted. In this way, wouldn't it be a grand promotion for all six palaces?"

At this point, the Queen showed a smile that seemed happy but actually had a deep meaning:

"Why don't we do it together when the time comes? It will be considered a major event in the palace."

The Queen's words hit the nail on the head, and the Emperor immediately showed an embarrassed look:

"We've already conferred titles on the six palaces once before. If we do it again, I'm afraid the palace will have to spend a lot more. Furthermore, there are rules and regulations for the number of positions above the rank of concubine in the palace, and we can't increase them at will."

Upon hearing this, the Queen sighed softly, as if she was worried about the Emperor's difficulties:

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. I have also considered this. However, if this promotion is not handled properly, it may cause dissatisfaction and disputes within the palace. I believe that this matter requires careful consideration. We must take into account the majesty of the emperor and the rules of the palace, while not alienating the concubines."

Upon hearing this, the emperor's eyes flashed with approval:

"The Queen is truly my virtuous wife. I will leave this matter to you. You must find a solution that demonstrates the Emperor's grace while balancing the interests of all parties."

Seeing that the emperor's attitude had softened somewhat, the queen felt a little relieved, so she asked tentatively:

"So, regarding the concubine's pregnancy, should the promotion ceremony be postponed for now?"

The emperor's eyes were firm, and he said without hesitation: "The noble lady Wan will be conferred a title, that is certain."

He hesitated for a moment and continued:

"As for rewarding pregnant concubines, it's not necessary to promote all of them. It's only natural that Concubine Wan should be promoted to Concubine Wan. I've also noticed that Concubine An has excellent embroidery skills. I previously ordered her to mend Empress Chunyuan's relics, and she completed the task brilliantly. She will surely make greater contributions to me and the palace in the future."

At this point, the emperor frowned slightly, as if he was somewhat dissatisfied with the embroidery department in the palace:

"I've noticed that the Embroidery Court has been getting increasingly rundown in recent years. Why not let Concubine An take over? I'll make an exception for her and, like the imperial consorts outside the palace, grant her a position as a female official. This will be a recognition of her talent."

Seeing this, the Queen, although she had some complaints about the Emperor's decision, could not directly refute it, so she forced a smile and praised:

"Your Majesty is wise. This move not only demonstrates the emperor's great grace, but also allows talented concubines to have the space they deserve. It truly achieves the best of both worlds."

Changing the subject, the Queen asked again:

"So...what about Concubine Fucha? What does the Emperor plan to reward her with?"

The emperor said without thinking:

"Just give her some good supplements and jewelry. She's pregnant, and these things will come in handy."

......

Xiao Tao gently tugged at my sleeve and said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, you see, Concubine Fucha is also pregnant, but the Emperor doesn't seem to care much about her, and the rewards he gives her are far less generous than those given to Concubine Wan and Concubine An."

My mother listened at the side, but she didn't seem to care too much. Instead, she smiled and said:

"Having said that, making an exception and letting Rong'er become a female official in the Embroidery Court is a great blessing. Apart from anything else, I will be able to see Rong'er often in the future, which is a great comfort to me."

When Xiao Tao heard this, a happy smile suddenly appeared on her face:

"Yes! This is indeed a great thing. Madam and Miss Rong'er can become much closer again."
