The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

It is said that money is something outside of one's body, which one cannot bring with him when he is born and cannot take with him when he dies. I am going to the west with nothing in my hands, but I have wasted one hundred and fifty taels of silver in vain!

"Does the question just now also count?"

"Snapped!"

Just when I was about to find this oleander elf to find out what was going on, I heard the crisp sound of a tea bowl breaking.

"Whose daughter are you? You poured such hot tea on me, are you trying to kill yourself?"

I was a little dazed by this sudden start.

I looked closely and saw that the person who was standing there with a sword drawn towards me was the first person who bullied me when he entered the palace many years ago - Xia Dongchun.

"An Lingrong, you have four chances left to waive your debt. The sixth question is: 'Does the question just now count?'..."

At the same time, the oleander flower flew back into the handkerchief with lightning speed, and then the white handkerchief also floated into my lapel at a high speed.

Now everyone turned around to look at Xia Dongchun scolding me, but no one noticed my oleander elf.

Seeing my old friend, I was still in shock and at a loss.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"I'm asking you! Where are you from?"

Xia Dongchun is still domineering.

"My name is An Lingrong, my father is..."

"Can't you even tell me your father's official position?"

"My father is Anbihuai, the county magistrate of Songyang."

In my previous life, I was used to being humble and submissive, so when faced with this sudden turmoil, I was still used to lowering my head and speaking softly.

"You are indeed a small family from a remote village. Why would you bring shame upon yourself to the palace?"

Following Xia Dongchun's ridicule, another young lady next to her also stepped forward to echo:

"Do you know that the person you offended was Xia Dongchun, the daughter of the Baoyi Zuoling family?"

Looking at Xia Dongchun's proud expression, I calmed myself down and looked around. This scene was distant yet extremely familiar.

How could I not know about the Baoyi Zuoling Xia Dongchun? She didn't live past the autumn. And the concubine before me, I also know very well that you have been given a sign. What's the point of fawning on her?

I sneered inwardly, but didn't want to stand out and draw attention to myself, so I humbly repeated the words of my past life:

"Lingrong had just arrived at the palace, and out of panic she accidentally spilled tea on Sister Xia. It was unintentional. I hope Sister will forgive Lingrong for this unintentional mistake."

"Even if you were allowed to see the emperor, you wouldn't be retained. What's there to be afraid of? Just being allowed to enter the Forbidden City is already a blessing for you for several lifetimes. How dare you still have such wishful thinking?"

Not only will I be retained, but I will also be a concubine in the future, far superior to you, Xia Dongchun - Xia Changzai.

It’s a pity that you, Sister Xia, won’t be able to see how glorious I will be at that time.

It's only a matter of time for me to get the golden embroidered robe, so I don't care about your idea.

I changed my previous life's timid and submissive attitude and showed a little nonchalant attitude:

"Sister, this dress is made of Suzhou embroidery, right? If you're angry, I'll compensate you with a set of clothes."

Xia Dongchun looked me up and down, still insisting:

"Oh! It's amazing that you, from a humble family, could recognize that my dress is Su embroidery! Compensation? Is your dress newly made? The stitches are so thick, it must have been rushed, and it's made of woven fabric that was no longer popular in the capital two years ago. Do you want to compensate with those two Su silver hairpins on your head, or those two gilded bracelets on your hands that no one would want even if they were given away as gifts?"

Everyone covered their faces and laughed at me, but in my heart I was laughing at them for not recognizing the great man.

Xia Dongchun, do you know that you will not live long?

"Today's incident was Lingrong's fault. Please calm down, sister. Your name is elegant and beautiful, just like you, but it lacks the vibrant color of autumn maple leaves. When you are registered, I will give you the 'One Zhang Red' as a token of my happiness. Is that okay?"

"What is 'Yi Zhang Hong'? Now that I'm in the palace, I can get whatever I want. It has to be awarded by the Empress or Consort Hua. What good gift can you give me?"

Xia Dongchun, you speak with such certainty, but you don't know that the "one zhang of scarlet" awarded by Concubine Hua will be the bitter fruit that you will taste carefully in the future.
