The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

According to the rules passed down from ancestors, concubines must kowtow to the empress on the second day after their first sleepover to show respect and submission.

I was no exception. Therefore, I woke up early, dressed up carefully, and took Baojuan with me to the most solemn place in the palace - Jingren Palace.

Inside Jingren Palace, the atmosphere was solemn and dignified, as if even the air had frozen.

And sitting on the throne in the central palace was the vicious woman whom I hated to the core - the queen.

She was dressed in a gorgeous phoenix robe and had a dazzling phoenix crown on her head. She sat there like a majestic goddess.

However, in my heart, she is the vicious woman who cut off my chance of having children in my previous life.

Thinking of this, my heart tightened, and I secretly reminded myself to be cautious. The Queen is ruthless, and now that I'm already in her bedchamber, she might take this opportunity to give me something to try to prevent me from conceiving.

I have to be vigilant at all times and not let her succeed.

I took a deep breath, adjusted my mentality, and then according to etiquette, slowly knelt on the ground, folded my hands in front of my forehead, and respectfully performed the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows.

"Your humble servant An Lingrong pays respect to Her Majesty the Empress. May Her Majesty live a thousand years."

My voice was clear and firm, echoing in the empty hall.

The Queen nodded slightly, her eyes lingering on me for a moment before she slowly spoke:

"Get up. After serving the emperor, you will be a true concubine. I hope you can abide by the palace rules, help the emperor solve his problems, and contribute to the harmony of the harem."

"I will obey your command and do my best to live up to your high expectations."

After saying that, I bowed again, then slowly stood up and sat back in my seat.

I looked around. Apart from Concubine Duan and Zhen Huan who were absent due to illness, Yu Ying'er, the "concubine" of the demoted official, was also missing.

Except for the above three people, the rest are here.

At this time, Concubine Hua on the side spoke in a sarcastic tone:

"An Da Ying has finally come to the emperor's bed. I congratulate An Da Ying first. This time it's not like the 'return of the jade intact to Zhao' like last time."

Hua Fei deliberately prolonged her tone, and the sarcasm in her words was evident.

When the concubines heard this, they all covered their faces and laughed.

My face turned red instantly. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying hard not to let her tears fall. Shame and anger intertwined in her heart, and she could hardly control herself.

Looking back on my previous life, it was not long after I was favored by the emperor because of my singing voice. Concubine Hua was jealous and asked me to sing for her in the Yiku Palace in the middle of the night. In the end, she even "rewarded" me and humiliated me. What the hell was that? She clearly treated me like an actor.

And today, Concubine Hua wants to embarrass me again. I hate her so much.

However, she was the high and mighty Concubine Hua, and her brother was Nian Gengyao.

And me.

I can only endure it.

Seeing this, the Queen coughed lightly, her voice filled with unquestionable majesty:

"Well, we are all sisters, why do this?"

The Queen's eyes swept across everyone, finally settling on Concubine Hua, with a subtle hint of reproach in her tone:

"Hua Fei, as the most experienced person in the palace, you should know how to maintain harmony in the harem."

Then, the Queen changed the subject and said to me:

"Now that you have entered the Emperor's bedchamber, you are his wife. From now on, you must serve the Emperor with all your heart and soul, and at the same time, you must continue to provide for the royal family. This is your duty and your honor."

Although the Queen's words were a warning to An Lingrong, they also contained another kind of irony - Concubine Hua has not yet given birth to a royal heir.

After hearing what the Queen said, Concubine Hua's face became extremely ugly. She clenched her fists, her nails almost digging into her palms, but she still maintained calmness and pride on her face.

Although the queen did not mention anyone by name, every word was like a knife, piercing her sore spot.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely depressing.

All the concubines lowered their heads to avoid looking into the eyes of the Queen and Concubine Hua.

But I became even more determined in my heart. I wanted to find my own place in this harem and no longer be bullied.

"This morning, the Emperor sent Su Peisheng a letter to me, saying that he would promote you to the rank of Concubine, and asked me to make arrangements for you. Su Peisheng should come to your palace to read the imperial edict shortly. Congratulations in advance."

A wave of surprise surged in my heart, erasing the unhappiness I had just felt.

Promotion comes faster and better than in the previous life.

"I thank the Emperor for his grace and the Empress for her care. I will do my best to live up to their high expectations."

The Queen nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes:

"Get up, go back and prepare to receive the imperial edict."
