The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

Hua Fei's face darkened instantly. She stared at Duan Fei, with deep hatred flashing in her eyes.

She knew very well that although Concubine Duan's words were apparently a reminder for her to maintain order, they were actually a secret satire on her inability to govern the harem.

Hua Fei forced a smile, with a hint of provocation in her tone:

"Sister, I will do my best to live up to the Emperor's trust. It's a pity that Concubine Duan has been ill for a long time and cannot help me to maintain the peace of the harem. If you come out today, don't let your illness spread to others and cause dislike for no reason."

"Sister, you're too kind. I'm weak and can't do anything... cough cough... But the Empress announced yesterday that all the concubines in the palaces are gathering today. They said that Wan Concubine of Suiyuxuan is temporarily resting in the palace because of her low rank, and I must come. I guess it's because my sister's assistance in managing the six palaces is not enough to resolve this matter... cough cough... That's why they asked the concubines to come together to help."

Concubine Duan dragged her sick body and kept coughing while speaking.

But her words made Concubine Hua's face even uglier.

Hua Fei could hear that Duan Fei was implying that she was not doing her job well in managing the six palaces.

The atmosphere between the two of them instantly became tense, and the concubines around them all chose to remain silent tacitly, for fear of being accidentally involved in this subtle fight.

Concubine Qi always spoke without thinking, but she added something inconsiderately, and it was unclear who she was siding with:

"The Emperor is wise and thoughtful, naturally allowing Concubine Hua to assist in the management of the six palaces. As for Yu Ying, it was because of her beautiful voice that she was given the title 'Lady Wonderful Voice.' This beautiful voice was meant to please the Emperor and sing court music, not to be used for quarrels and insults within the palace."

No one dared to say anything, and Er Zhang was confused.

It was obvious that Concubine Qi also disliked Concubine Hua, so she should have helped Concubine Duan.

However, these words secretly praised Concubine Hua, which embarrassed Concubine Duan.

When everyone was confused, Concubine Qi's next words made everyone understand that Concubine Qi wanted to show off that she had the only prince in the palace:

"Besides, as concubines in the harem, our most important thing is to provide the Emperor with children. Look at our Third Prince, he's grown taller recently."

After saying this, Concubine Qi covered her face and smiled proudly.

Speaking of the title of "Lady Miaoyin", Xia Dongchun felt extremely unhappy.

She thought of herself. She had been in the palace for half a year, but not only did she not have any title, she had also never been summoned to the emperor's bedchamber. She came from a good family, but had been in the position of "changzai" for a long time.

Seeing that Yu Ying'er, who was born as a palace maid, was constantly favored and had a title, she was naturally unhappy. What's more, Yu Ying'er was the confidant of her enemy, Concubine Hua.

Then, she started to speak again, mocking Yu Ying'er:

"So what if she's called 'Miaoyin Lady'? She sings every day, what's the difference between her and an actor? She doesn't have the dignity and nobility of a concubine. After all, a palace maid is still a palace maid. She comes from a lowly family. Even if she's given the title of concubine, she can't change her inherent lowliness."

Yu Ying'er could no longer control herself when she heard Xia Dongchun insulting her like that, and a flash of anger appeared in her eyes.

She took a sudden step forward, raised her hand, and slapped Xia Dongchun hard.

The crisp sound echoed in the palace, and everyone was shocked.

In an instant, Jingren Palace fell silent.

Xia Dongchun's cheeks were swollen from being beaten, and a trace of disbelief flashed in her eyes. Then she was furious and roared:

"How dare you hit me! I come from a family of military commanders. How could I allow a little maid like you to be so presumptuous?"

Having said that, Xia Dongchun was not willing to be outdone. He waved his hands and started fighting with Yu Ying'er.

The two of them pushed and shoved each other, twisting into a ball, their palace dresses disheveled and their hair loose, their usually dignified image gone.
