The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

Yu Ying'er's eyes widened with anger, and she pointed her index finger at Xia Dongchun, cursing sharply:

"Bitch! How dare you secretly disfigure me? It's because you're jealous of my divine favor!"

Xia Dongchun fought back without giving in:

"Hmph, you, a lowly person who climbed up from a palace maid, are you worthy of talking about the emperor's favor? Do you really think the emperor will be deceived by the likes of you? If your face is really ruined, it will be your own fault!"

"You're talking nonsense! It's obvious that you were jealous and scratched my face on purpose! The Queen will definitely punish you in a moment!"

"Don't forget, slander is a serious crime in the harem. You accidentally scratched your face, but you're trying to put the blame on me. How ridiculous!"

As the argument between Yu Ying'er and Xia Dongchun intensified, Huanbi, who was standing by, felt a little uncomfortable when she heard the sensitive words "palace maid":

"My two sisters, please calm down. Regardless of our backgrounds, we are all serving the Emperor now. We are all the same and should live in harmony."

As soon as Huanbi finished speaking, Lipin beside her sneered:

"Oh, this palace maid is a palace maid. Even if she is a concubine, she has no rules at all. She doesn't know what it means to be cautious in words and deeds. Even if she is occasionally favored, it is still not presentable."

Huanbi knew that Lipin was mocking her, but because Lipin was a concubine and Huanbi was just a concubine, she remained silent.

Concubine Hua was a little unhappy because Huanbi was recently promoted to a concubine. She glanced at Huanbi.

"Huanbi, don't forget your status. In this harem, what matters is your origin and family background. If you climbed up from a maid like you, you must learn the rules and regulations if you want to gain a firm foothold. Don't speak when you shouldn't, and don't accidentally anger any concubine."

Huanbi's face flushed, but she had no choice but to humbly say:

"Empress Hua and Concubine Li are right. Huanbi must be careful with her words and actions in the future."

The discussion surrounding Huanbi's "palace maid origin" hurt Yu Ying'er's heart unconsciously. She angrily directed her spearhead at Xia Dongchun again:

"I am the Lady Miaoyin, personally appointed by the Emperor! You always use my background as an excuse! Xia Dongchun, don't try to quibble. It was you who scratched my face and added white flower dandruff!"

Xia Dongchun looked at Yu Ying'er with contempt:

"How ridiculous! You, a mere maid, dare to slander me, a member of a military family? Last time in Jingren Palace, the Empress made the final decision: you scratched it with your own armor. The Empress is so wise and intelligent, are you doubting the Empress?"

What Hua Fei envied most was the Queen's status as the legal wife, so she couldn't stand anyone praising the Queen in front of her. She sneered, her words secretly mocking her:

"I think this matter still needs to be investigated. If the Empress had made the right judgment back then, today's misunderstanding wouldn't have happened. I wonder if Concubine Xia feels that the Empress spared you the 'one zhang of scars' that day, and that with the Empress's support, she can act recklessly."

Xia Dongchun was stunned when she heard this, and said hurriedly: "That's not what I meant, it's just..."

Hua Fei interrupted her before she could finish her words:

"Just what? Isn't it? Otherwise, why would the emperor let me assist in managing the six palaces?"

After Hua Fei finished speaking, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Cao Qin silently observed everything. She was the one who knew how to protect herself. Now she was waiting for an opportunity and cleverly flattered Concubine Hua:

"Your Highness Hua Fei is absolutely right, but in my humble opinion, the most wise person in the harem is none other than the Emperor. The Emperor has asked you to assist in the management of the six palaces, naturally because he values ​​your talent and wisdom. I believe that you will be able to help the Empress run the harem more orderly."

There was a touch of flattery in her words, yet she was measured. She elevated Concubine Hua's status without directly belittling the Queen, appearing extremely tactful.

After hearing this, Concubine Hua showed a satisfied smile on her face:

"This palace assists the six palaces, naturally it is the emperor's trust and favor."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly responded respectfully, stood up and saluted, and said in unison:

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. I, your concubine, will certainly follow your instructions."

After Cao Qinmo's clever handling, the atmosphere eased somewhat.

Concubine Hua asked everyone to stand up. The concubines who had just paid their respects did not include Concubine Duan and Concubine Qi, who had the same rank as Concubine Hua.

At this time, the two of them also spoke.

Concubine Duan, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke:

"Since Sister Hua Fei has been ordered to assist in the management of the six palaces, and now that the Empress is away, it is even more important for her to maintain order in the harem... ahem... how could she allow the concubines to make such a scene in Jingren Palace? It's so disrespectful."
