The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System
Chapter 200: Second Vice Queen
After saying this, the emperor didn't want to look at the queen anymore, turned around and walked away in big strides.
His back looked so resolute, as if he wanted to take away all this love and hatred.
The queen collapsed on the ground, her crying gradually became weaker, and her eyes were full of despair and unwillingness.
I stood quietly by, witnessing all of this. I knew full well that in the harem, there were no permanent winners or losers.
Only by constantly adapting to the environment and improving ourselves can we be invincible in this war without gunpowder.
"The Imperial Concubine,"
I stood up and bowed:
"Your Highness, please have a good rest. I will take my leave now."
"I will take my leave."
......
In the deep palace of the Forbidden City, the years pass slowly, and power struggles and tenderness are interwoven into a series of complex and ever-changing pictures.
As the Noble Concubine Li who "assists in managing the six palaces", I have shouldered the heavy responsibility of leading the order in the harem and maintaining peace in the palace since Ulanara Yixiu was demoted to Imperial Noble Concubine.
Four months passed quietly, and the situation changed dramatically during this period. I managed the harem in an orderly manner with wisdom and gentleness, demonstrating the outstanding style of a harem manager.
A lot has happened in these few months.
Relying on her prominent family background, Concubine Fucha acted arrogantly and had frequent frictions with the new concubines. She was eventually demoted to a noble lady because of a quarrel, and her position as the head of Chuxiu Palace was taken over by Guaerjia.
This change not only highlights the delicate balance of status and power in the harem, but also serves as a warning to everyone: in this deep palace where power is intertwined, only by being cautious in words and deeds can one gain a foothold.
As for the newly promoted ladies, their fates were different and each had its own merits.
Although Kang Da Ying was promoted to Chang Zai, the progress was small, but it was the result of her hard work; Zhen Chang Zai attracted much attention because of her resemblance to Zhen Huan, and she became a noble lady, and her future path may be wider; but Sun Da Ying is still unknown, and seems to have been forgotten by the emperor. Her figure looks particularly lonely within the palace walls.
Looking at Sun Da Ying's lonely figure, I couldn't help but feel pity, as if I saw my own shadow in the past when I was neglected because of my humble family background.
With the empress dowager's niece Ulanara Yixiu being deposed from the throne, and the aftermath of the "Longkodo" incident still not over, the empress dowager's health gradually deteriorated, as if the successive blows had drained away her former energy and spirit.
During this difficult period, Shen Meizhuang served the Empress Dowager closely with her gentleness and loyalty. She not only took good care of her, but also warmed her aging heart with her filial piety.
The Empress Dowager, grateful for her deep affection, granted an imperial decree to promote Shen Meizhuang to the rank of "Hui Fei". This honor was the highest recognition of her character and dedication.
Meanwhile, in Yikun Palace, Nian Shilan seemed to have undergone a complete transformation. Gone was her former arrogance and domineering nature, replaced by an unprecedented calmness and indifference.
The deep hurt she suffered from the emperor made her become extremely indifferent to the love she once obsessed with, and she instead poured all her energy into the fetus in her womb.
She rested peacefully in her own palace while taking care of her baby. The hustle and bustle of the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with her. Only the glow of motherhood warmed this small place.
Whenever I have free time, I will go to Yiku Palace to visit Nian Shilan.
Every time we meet, I can clearly feel that the life in her belly is thriving. Her increasingly bulging belly is already seven months old, indicating the vitality of the new life.
Although Nian Shilan's face was calm, the occasional gleam in her eyes revealed her deep expectation and cherishment of this blood connection.
In this deep palace, everyone's fate is like duckweed, swaying in the wind and difficult to control.
Recently, the affairs in the palace have been so complicated that I have been too busy to take care of Zhen Huan who is far away outside the palace.
However, thanks to my own efforts, I have achieved remarkable results and reaped a lot of rewards.
I completed three oleander tasks in succession. Due to the many rewards from the system, I have now been promoted to "Deputy Queen". Although I still retain the title of Noble Concubine, I am actually on par with the Imperial Noble Concubine. Moreover, the power of "Assisting in the Six Palaces" has been upgraded to "Being in Charge of the Six Palaces", which means that I have greater power and responsibility, and it also indicates that my position in the harem is becoming more and more stable.
Xiaotao told me that my current index is 14% of the position of vice queen, while Ulanara Yixiu's index has dropped to 55%.
It seems that my ascension to the throne of queen is just around the corner.
However, my goal is not the throne of Queen, but the Queen Mother.
Under my careful guidance, my mother's embroidery studio has flourished and become famous.
The embroidery produced by the embroidery academy is exquisite and deeply loved by the royal family and nobles, which also brought us rich profits. My mother and I not only earned a considerable amount of money, but also won honor and respect for our family.
......
The sun was shining brightly today, and I wanted to take advantage of this rare leisure time to take a short rest, but I was interrupted by a burst of hurried footsteps.
Xiao Tao pushed the door open in a panic, with some excitement and curiosity that was hard to conceal on her face.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
She gasped and said:
"Do you know who I saw on the long street just now?"
I raised my eyelids slightly and asked lazily:
"Oh? Who is it?"
A mysterious light flashed in Xiaotao's eyes, and she lowered her voice and said:
"Prince Guo and Ye Lanyi!"
I was stunned when I heard that, then sat up straight.
It was understandable that Prince Guo had gone to the palace to attend to the Empress Dowager's serious illness. And it was also reasonable for Ye Lanyi, a skilled horse trainer at the Hundred Horses Garden, to go to the palace to receive an order to cancel the performance.
But the encounter between these two people made me feel confused.
"Did they know each other before?"
I asked.
Xiao Tao shook her head, her face full of confusion:
"Then I don't know. However, when I saw them walking side by side, the Oleander System suddenly popped up a task: Help Ye Lanyi marry Prince Guo, and the reward will increase the favor index by 17%."
I stroked the delicate tea set in my hand, a hint of curiosity flashed in my eyes, and whispered to Xiaotao:
"Xiao Tao, why don't you ask the oleander elf first, what kind of interactions did Ye Lanyi and Prince Guo have before? I always feel like there seems to be an unusual story between them."
Upon hearing this, Xiaotao immediately closed her bright eyes, her little face full of concentration.
After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes with a mysterious smile on her face, as if she had just returned from another world.
"My Lady, the Oleander Fairy told me,"
Xiaotao leaned close to my ear and said in a low voice:
"A few years ago, while traveling, Prince Guo accidentally saved Ye Lanyi from danger. Since then, Ye Lanyi has been deeply in love with Prince Guo. That feeling is deep and passionate. It is said that she is even willing to give everything for Prince Guo."
