The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

I used to feel that the days in the deep palace were extremely long, but somehow, sometimes they seemed to pass extremely fast.

When I first entered the palace, the autumn wind was blowing, but in a blink of an eye, the fallen leaves turned into white snow.

The begonias that were once inserted in the hair are no longer seen, replaced by clusters of red plum blossoms in winter.

New Year's Eve is here. It's time to celebrate the New Year.

Zhen Huan did not attend the palace banquet on New Year's Eve because she was allowed to recuperate by the Queen.

The other concubines really showed off their talents, all wanting to win the emperor's favor and gain his grace.

For example, Noble Lady Fucha began to play the guzheng, and Concubine Hua arranged the night banquet with special care, even placing plum blossoms in the corner.

The emperor became melancholy when he looked at the plum blossoms, but when I saw these plum blossoms, I became cheerful.

I know the emperor wants to go to Yime Garden to appreciate the plum blossoms.

I used the excuse that I had been drinking and wanted to go out to sober up, so I went to Yime Garden alone.

When I arrived at Yime Garden, I saw clusters of plum blossoms blooming in the white sky and earth, defying the frost.

And among these plum blossoms, I saw Zhen Huan wearing a red cloak, as if hanging something on the branches, ready to make a wish.

"elder sister......"

Zhen Huan was startled and turned around to take a closer look. It was me.

"Shouldn't Sister An be attending the palace banquet right now? Why is she here?"

"I'm a little drunk and wanted to go out for a walk to sober up, but I unexpectedly ran into you here. The emperor said he'd be here soon, so why don't you wait here with me so we can enjoy the plum blossoms together?"

Zhen Huan was terrified:

"No, no, I've been ill for a long time and can't stay in the snow for long. I'll leave you here alone. I hope you'll enjoy the plum blossoms and be proud of yourself!"

Zhen Huan encouraged me to attract the emperor's attention and gain his favor early, but she ran away alone.

I don't understand why she would dodge such a good opportunity. It doesn't matter.

The important thing is that I looked up and saw something hanging on the plum branch - a small statue!

I have heard that Prince Guo had long admired Huanbi, and it was only based on a small portrait of Huanbi that he persuaded the Emperor to marry Huanbi to Prince Guo.

But how did this small statue appear here?

I was filled with doubts, so I stood on tiptoe, took down the small portrait, and looked at it carefully - this small portrait clearly looked more like Zhen Huan!

This matter is of great importance and should not be underestimated. Why did Prince Guo hide the portrait of Zhen Huan for so many years? Zhen Huan is the emperor's concubine, and Prince Guo is the emperor's younger brother!

The entanglement here is like a tangled mess, impossible to cut and impossible to sort out.

At this moment, I heard footsteps approaching slowly from a distance. I secretly forgot that it seemed that the emperor was walking alone.

I quickly hid the statue in my sleeve and began the elaborate act I had planned:

I used my voice to chant a passage from "Ode to the Winter Plum Blossom":

"The red plum blossoms reflected on the white snow are a touch of beauty in the cold wind.

I do not seek to see a hundred flowers competing for my beauty in spring, I only wish to admire my own fragrance.”

Then, he put his hands together and pretended to make a wish to the plum blossoms:

“Since arriving at the palace, everyone has been seeking the emperor’s grace and favor.

I wish the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and my father good health and happiness. I also wish for a peaceful life in the palace. With the constant fighting in the palace, it is difficult to protect oneself. I wish—'If the adverse winds understand my feelings, do not let them destroy me!'"

"Who is there?"

I could tell it was the Emperor's voice.

I quickly hid myself and continued to listen to the emperor's majestic voice searching for me:

"Who's there? Who is it? If you don't speak up, I'll have the entire Yimei Garden turned upside down!"

The oleander fairy once gave me five steps: 1. Plan ahead. 2. Create chance encounters. 3. Show your talent. 4. Make a lasting impression. 5. Follow up.

Now that I have completed the first three steps, it is time to move on to the fourth step: "Leaving a lasting impression."

So I hid myself and responded:

"I am a maid from the Plum Garden. I did not mean to disturb you, Your Excellency. Please forgive me."

So I slipped away looking around, hoping that the emperor would find me and fall in love with me.
