The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

There was a bit of calculation in the Queen's eyes:

"Concubine Qi, you don't understand. In this harem, besides status and position, what's even more important is the heart of the people. As the Third Prince's biological mother, you should be the leader among the concubines, but now you are slightly inferior because of Concubine Hua, who is assisting in the management of the six palaces. You are also aware of Concubine Hua's petty nature. Why don't you take this opportunity to show your magnanimity and virtue to the Emperor?"

When Concubine Qi heard this, her eyes lit up, as if she understood what the Queen meant.

She smiled and thanked him repeatedly:

"Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty! I understand. I will go tell the Emperor that An Changzai is not feeling well and needs to recuperate in the hot springs. I will do it right away!"

A subtle cunning glint flashed across the queen's eyes:

"Well, go ahead. Remember, you have to strike a good balance. You have to let the emperor see your virtue without appearing too deliberate."

Concubine Qi bowed and left Jingren Palace with a happy face.

After Concubine Qi happily left, Jianqiu gently walked to the Queen's side, poured her a cup of hot tea, and asked with a hint of doubt on her face:

"Empress, An Chang comes from a humble family. Why are you taking so much trouble to promote her?"

The Queen took the teacup and took a sip, her eyes gleaming with a deep light:

"The Emperor only allowed Concubine Wan to go to the Tangquan Palace alone, clearly intending to spend time with her in private. This move by the Empress is not intended to truly promote Concubine An and allow her to gain favor, but rather to allow her to share the favor."

"But, Your Majesty, why don't you tell the Emperor yourself about this matter of sympathy for An Changzai's health? This way, it will not only show that Your Majesty is sympathetic to the concubines, but also demonstrate your magnanimity."

The queen gently put down the teacup, a sneer on her lips:

"Jianqiu, do you understand the limits of the harem? Even if I were to accompany him to Tangquan Palace right now, I'm afraid the Emperor would find it annoying, let alone adding Concubine An. It's better to let Concubine Qi handle this tactless task. She's hell-bent on competing for favor with Concubine Hua, so I'll give her this opportunity to perform well in front of the Emperor."

"Your Majesty is wise."

The queen nodded with satisfaction and looked into the distance again, as if she had already seen the wonderful scenes that were about to be staged in the harem.

......

I couldn't help but sigh once again that the queen was very thoughtful.

But fortunately, this also fulfilled my wish.

I need to take advantage of this opportunity to improve my "favor index" with the Emperor.

So I asked the oleander elf a second time:

"When I go to Tangquan Palace, I want the emperor to like me more. What should I do?"

"An Lingrong, in an environment like the Tangquan Palace, it does require some thought and strategy to make the Emperor like you more. Here are some suggestions that may help you.

......

Give in at the right time and show your magnanimity: When you notice other concubines getting along with the emperor, you might as well give in at the right time and show your magnanimity and tolerance. Doing so will not only win the emperor's respect, but also establish a good image in the harem.

......

Remember, winning favor is no easy feat; it requires patience, wisdom, and sincerity. May you win the Emperor's true affection in your own way at the Tangquan Palace."

I patiently wrote down what Oleander taught me.

Next, I inquired about my oleander warehouse.

"An Lingrong, when you meet the Emperor for the second time during the rain, your favor index will increase by 2%. When you meet the Emperor for the third time during the rain, your favor index will increase by 5%.

Yu Ying'er's rescue from the Imperial Garden increases by 5%. Helping Yu Ying'er with the Musk incident increases by 2%. Taking Yu Ying'er to the Tangquan Palace increases by 5%.

Reward Wei Lin, increase by 2%.

In addition, statistics of various income and expenditure:

Total warehouse:

Silver: 6085 taels, 500 wen

Item value: 9623 taels, 391 coins

Available personnel: 6 people

Party members: Huang Guiquan (20%), Xia Dongchun (25%), Yu Yinger (12%)

Wei Lin (2%)"

The Emperor’s Favor: Permanent Position (12%)”

......

I looked at the answer given to me by the Oleander Warehouse with satisfaction, and then called down the Oleander Elf.

Seeing the growing amount of money, I feel more secure than before.

Moreover, Yu Ying'er quickly became one of my followers.

......

The Tangquan Palace is truly magnificent. Looking up, you can see flying pavilions, flowing red buildings, and jade-like buildings. The steam from the hot springs rises up, blending with the surrounding scenery, as if it is a fairyland on earth.

Zhen Huan and I soaked in the warm spring water, enjoying this rare tranquility and comfort.

This was my first time taking a hot spring bath. I felt a warm current rising slowly from the soles of my feet and going straight into my heart. It was really comfortable.

The hot spring water is so smooth and clean, as if it can wash away all my fatigue and sorrow.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and sulfur, interweaving into a strange sense of tranquility, allowing me to temporarily forget the various disputes and calculations in the palace.

However, in this moment of tranquility, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In this harem, favor and status often determine a person's fate. Although I come from a humble background, I have my own persistence and desires in my heart.

Only by competing for favor can you get better, gain a foothold in this deep palace, and secure a stable life for yourself.

Reflecting on my experiences since entering the palace, I can't help but sigh. Initially, I was neglected due to my humble family background. Unwilling to accept this fate, I diligently cultivated various talents, hoping to distinguish myself before the Emperor. Now, although I've received some favor, I know it's far from enough.

In the harem, there is a turbulent situation and one could be doomed if one is not careful.

I opened my eyes and looked ahead with determination.

I secretly swore in my heart that no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will not give up easily.

This trip to Tangquan is my new starting point. I will take this opportunity to open a new chapter in my life.

Zhen Huan gently fiddled with the petals on the water, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she said softly:

"I never expected that the Emperor would not allow high-ranking concubines like Concubine Hua to enjoy this privilege, but instead, we two low-ranking concubines would have this honor."

"Perhaps the Emperor took pity on my poor health and granted me this special favor. But compared to my sister, my favor is nothing. My sister was given by the Emperor himself. This friendship is truly incomparable to anyone else."

Zhen Huan heard this, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled and said:

"Sister, what are you talking about? It's a rare blessing for us sisters to be able to gather together in this Tangquan Palace. I only hope that we can all be safe and happy in the days ahead, and live up to the emperor's kindness."

I nodded, and then we both fell silent.

Because the emperor is here.
