The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

After saying that, Huanbi and I covered our faces and laughed.

"The Emperor doesn't allow us to speak, how can we disobey His Majesty's will..."

Huanbi Road.

"Yes, I even asked Su Peisheng to tell her not to tell my sister. I wanted to give her a surprise."

I said so too.

Then the four of us laughed and chatted for a while, and also expressed our worries about the endless palace fighting in the future.

"Oh, by the way, just now in the Imperial Garden, your feet felt uncomfortable, and the Emperor said he would send a royal physician to see you. Has the physician come yet?"

Zhen Huan asked me.

"Well... the imperial physician just visited me, which delayed me a bit. Otherwise, I would have come to congratulate my sister a long time ago... The imperial physician said that I have a lot of cold in my body, and I need to do more to dispel dampness and cold."

After saying that, I pretended to be weak and rubbed my legs.

"Remove dampness and cold? Did the imperial physician tell me how to treat it?"

Shen Meizhuang asked.

"There's no good solution. They just prescribe some medicine. The imperial physician said that if I could bathe in a hot spring, I would recover quickly. But there are no hot springs in the palace..."

"I've been assisting with the six palaces these past few days, and the Imperial Household Department is arranging the Emperor's trip to the Tangquan Palace. Unfortunately, only the Empress and a few high-ranking concubines in the harem can accompany him. Even a noble like me can't go..."

Shen Meizhuang said in embarrassment.

"It would be great if Lingrong could go too... Does Sister Mei have any ideas?"

Zhen Huan asked.

"The Emperor has a set number of concubines he can bring with him to the imperial palace. Aside from the Empress, the only others who can go are Consort Hua, Consort Qi, and a few other high-ranking officials... I've looked at the records from previous years from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Consort Qi wasn't always able to go... However, if there's an opportunity, I will speak to the Emperor with respect."

"Thank you, Sister Mei."

I thanked Sister Mei, and then Yu Ying'er came in:

"My lady, the imperial physician said you should soak your feet in hot water more often. The water is already boiling. Please go back quickly before it gets cold."

"Okay...those sisters, I'll take my leave now."

......

After we walked out of Suiyuxuan, I asked Yu Ying'er to go to the Imperial Hospital and asked her to convey what I had told her before to Wei Lin.

......

In the past few days, the emperor has often visited Zhen Huan at Suiyuxuan, which has also aroused the jealousy and resentment of the six palaces.

This morning, the sunlight shines through the window lattice and into my palace, bringing a hint of warmth.

I had nothing to do, so I decided to teach the palace maids how to embroider, which was also a form of entertainment.

The new arrivals, Yan Erbao and Yan Sanbao, picked up the job pretty quickly. They'd already finished embroidering all fifteen rolls of silk I'd been given during my last visit. Baojuan had already gone to Huaxi Weaving and Exchanging silver for 2,500 taels. Looking at that thick stack of notes, the servants and I were all beaming with joy.

I nodded with satisfaction, and took out the "sixteen pieces of silk of various colors" that the emperor had rewarded me, and distributed them to them to continue embroidering.

However, only Yu Ying'er stood aside with no joy on her face.

That's because Yu Ying'er's embroidery prices didn't increase at all, so she didn't get any money.

Yes, Yu Ying'er had always been a maid in the imperial garden, so how could she do delicate work like needlework?

Yu Ying'er lowered her head and whispered, "My lady, this servant...this servant still doesn't know how to embroider."

"Oh? I see. The Emperor fined you a year's salary, but I have a great opportunity. Look at Baojuan and Baoque. Every month, the money they earn from embroidery alone is more than their monthly allowance. This is a great opportunity. You can learn well and alleviate your financial difficulties."

Yu Ying'er raised her head, a hint of stubbornness flashing in her eyes:

"My lady, I am very upset... I don't know if the emperor will give me another chance. I don't want to embroider anymore, but I still want to serve the emperor."

I was slightly stunned when I heard this:

"Yu Ying'er, since you've been demoted in this palace, it's impossible for you to rise to the top overnight. You must be patient and learn to bide your time. Embroidery may be a minor skill, but it can hone your character and improve your skills."

Yu Ying'er seemed to understand what was said and lowered her head without saying anything.

Then, I noticed that since Wei Lin took away the musk sachet, Yu Ying'er's waist was empty.

I'm worried about the Queen finding out.

So, I took out another identical sachet and handed it to Yu Ying'er:

"This is your sachet. I asked someone to make you an identical one. Take it with you..."

Then I whispered in Yu Ying'er's ear:

"Quietly...so as not to be discovered by the Queen."

Yu Ying'er immediately understood, took it and expressed her gratitude.

At this time, Xiao Xiazi, the emperor's favorite, walked slowly into my palace with light steps.

Yu Ying'er caught a glimpse of Xiao Xiazi's figure, and her expression instantly became complicated.

In the past, as a young mistress, she was so glorious and arrogant that she could boss servants like Xiao Xiazi around. But now, she has been demoted to a slave, her status has plummeted, and she has to curb her former arrogance.

Therefore, she deliberately avoided Xiao Xiazi's gaze and was unwilling to have any direct contact with him.

Xiao Xia Zi naturally also noticed Yu Ying'er's reaction.

Thinking of the two incidents of "peeling walnuts" and "white flower dan", an indescribable anger surged in his heart.

These two things created a great grudge between him and Yu Ying'er. However, although he was unhappy at the moment, he also understood his status and the situation.

He suppressed the anger in his heart, his gaze lingered on Yu Ying'er for a moment, then turned to look at me, and a respectful smile instantly appeared on his face.

"Your servant, Xiao Xiazi, pays respects to An Changzai."

He saluted respectfully, his voice tinged with deliberate flattery. Although he was filled with resentment towards Yu Ying'er, he still maintained his duties and courtesy as a servant in front of me.

I nodded slightly and motioned for him to stand up.

"Eunuch Xia, please stand up."

Xiao Xiazi's smile widened a little. He saluted me again and then slowly spoke:

"My lady is delighted. The Emperor has granted her permission to bathe in Tangquan Palace. Her carriage will be waiting outside the palace gates in the afternoon."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

"Which maid would you like to bring with you, young lady?"

I glanced at Yu Ying'er and met her expectant gaze.

"Let's just take Yu Ying'er."

But Xiao Xiazi was a little dissatisfied and made an excuse:

"My lady, this time the Emperor has also bestowed upon her the position of Concubine Wan from Suiyuxuan. Concubine Wan is accompanied by Aunt Jinxi... After all, Aunt Jinxi has been in the palace for a long time, so she will be more attentive in serving in the temporary palace. Why not...my lady, switch to a more experienced aunt?"

"Thank you, Eunuch Xia, for your concern. As you can see, the maids here are all young. I really can't find anyone more experienced. Besides, the Emperor and the Empress have ordered me to properly train Yu Ying'er. She has been serving me closely these past few days, so it wouldn't hurt to let her gain some experience."
