The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

"You can let this matter go. Even if you kneel down and kowtow to me and apologize, I will be magnanimous and let it go!"

Xia was still aggressive. Although I knew there was no need to kneel down, I didn't want her to trample on me so recklessly.

As I was weighing the pros and cons of whether to strike back or keep quiet, Zhen Huan appeared, one step ahead of me, and I stopped thinking:

"It's just a piece of clothing. Sister Xia is so magnanimous. It's not worth getting angry about."

"Who are you?" Xia asked.

"My father is the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, Zhen Yuandao."

"The Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple is not a high-ranking official." Xia said contemptuously.

Zhen Huan!

I meet you again. Half a moment ago, you, as a noble concubine, sent me off, your eyes sharp and your words eloquent.

This time she changed her gorgeous makeup to a simple and light one, but she still managed to steal my limelight invisibly.

It turns out that I was unfavorable to you, and it is retribution in the previous life, but in this life, we are still lifelong enemies.

I don't want you to be the only one!

I took the initiative and told Zhen Huan's logic in her past life:

"Regardless of official rank, the only thing that matters is reason."

When Xia Dongchun heard what I said, she obviously did not expect that someone like me from a "small family" would dare to talk back to her.

She glanced at me, then looked at Zhen Huan:

"You're so conceited about your beauty that you think you'll definitely be selected, so you can order me around?"

Zhen Huan was as calm and composed as ever:

"What Sister An said just now is absolutely right. I don't dare to order you around. I'm just thinking about you..."

"Today is the Han Army Banner Election,"

I interrupted Zhen Huan:

"Sister, I'm afraid this will alarm the Emperor. If His Majesty becomes enraged, how can you and I bear the consequences? Even if His Majesty isn't alarmed, if word gets to others, it will ruin your reputation as a virtuous woman and bring disgrace to our Han army. This is more trouble than good. I hope you'll reconsider."

I finished my speech in an orderly manner, and Xia Dongchun's anger came as expected:

"I will remember you!"

Zhen Huan looked at me and said with approval. She turned to Xia Dongchun and gave him a fake smile.

"Sister An's words make sense. Sister Xia should listen to them and think about them more. Besides, you are so beautiful. Anyone who has seen you will never forget you!"

"Humph!"

Xia Dongchun turned away unwillingly. Zhen Huan turned around and took my hands:

"Are you okay? Sister, you are so clever and thoughtful. I admire you so much."

When I heard her words, I felt a sense of pride and satisfaction.

I don't need your pity or charity in this life. I can still compete with you and even surpass you.

But it is not appropriate to make enemies now, and we need to be on good terms with her for the time being. After all, she is the concubine who will be the most favored in the six palaces in the future:

"I will never forget the kindness you showed me today."

"It's just a small favor, don't worry about it."

"That Sister Xia isn't a friendly person. If I provoke her for me, I'm afraid I'll get into trouble."

"She's the one who's worried, not me!"

I meant to remind her, but seeing her still so confident made me feel disgusted.

Then there was another tone, looking at Zhen Huan with concern:

"You are so bold even inside the imperial palace?"

I knew that the voice came from Shen Meizhuang.

She has always been good at keeping herself safe. She talks about sisterhood, but she just does things that go with the flow.

Just like when my father An Bihuai encountered difficulties under the jurisdiction of her father Shen Zishan, she did not stand up for him. After the matter was over, Shen Meizhuang pretended to be pretentious and acted like a wise man after the event.

It's the same today. Why didn't I see her just now? What's the point of going up to her to show my concern now?

I pretended not to know her:

"Who is this?"

"This is Sister Mei Zhuang."

"Hello, Sister Meizhuang."

After Zhen Huan's introduction, I bowed slightly to Shen Meizhuang.

"No need to be so polite, sister."

I watched Zhen Huan looking around, searching for something, but I took the lead and walked straight to a cluster of begonia flowers and picked a begonia.

When I returned to Zhen and Mei, I put the crabapple blossoms in my hair.
