The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

After Yu Ying'er entered the room, she even forgot the basic etiquette and just rudely picked up the comb and clumsily combed my hair. She kept muttering:

"Yesterday, it was Concubine Wan who was in the emperor's bedchamber. You didn't even see the emperor, and what about me? I didn't even see the emperor's shadow! This life is really unbearable!"

I listened to her complaints and felt a little disgusted:

"Yu Ying'er, you have to be patient. Things in the palace can never be rushed. Although I didn't get to see the emperor last night, there's still today!"

However, Yu Ying'er seemed to turn a deaf ear to my words. She suddenly stopped combing the brush in her hand, her eyes wide open:

"Patience? Waiting? My lady, that's easy for you to say! How long have I been waiting in this palace? If I wait any longer, I'm afraid the opportunity will be lost! I can't just wait like this in vain!"

I sighed helplessly, knowing that it was useless to persuade him any further.

"Yu Ying'er, I know you're anxious, but you can't get anything done in a hurry. We need to plan and act strategically. Your impatience will only lead to bad things."

"My lady, in this palace, you can't just wait for opportunities with patience. I have to fight for it myself, even if it means using any means!"

"Don't act rashly! Otherwise, I won't be able to save you!"

Yu Ying'er remained silent. I didn't know if she was listening.

......

Since it was only Zhen Huan and I who came to the Tangquan Palace, we had lunch with the Emperor at noon.

Su Peisheng, Cui Jinxi and Yu Ying'er were serving on the side.

The atmosphere was originally quite harmonious, but it seemed a bit abrupt because of Yu Ying'er's deliberate dress.

She had obviously dressed up carefully today, with heavy makeup on her face and a tacky pink silk flower in her hair.

She dressed like this, as if intentionally trying to attract the emperor's attention. She would deliberately approach the emperor from time to time, and her words and actions revealed a deliberate and eager attitude.

The emperor finally couldn't help it, his eyes swept over Yu Ying'er, his brows slightly furrowed, and his tone was a little unhappy:

"Yu Ying'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you dressed so tacky today? Dining in this palace is about elegance and tranquility, and you look like a wild flower in the street, dazzling and annoying."

Yu Ying'er's face froze when she heard this:

"Your Majesty, I was just thinking about having dinner with you today. I was so happy that I wanted to present myself in my most beautiful form. I didn't expect that I would upset your Majesty. It's my fault."

"Yu Ying'er, beauty lies not in outward splendor but in inner purity and elegance. You're being so deliberate that you've lost your true self."

"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean. But I sincerely hope to have more opportunities to serve Your Majesty..."

At this time, the atmosphere in the dining hall became a little tense. Zhen Huan spoke:

"Your Majesty, I believe that all beauties seek to please Your Majesty, and this is understandable. However, my sister's actions today may simply be a lack of education, and she doesn't understand what it means to truly please the eyes. If Your Majesty is displeased by this, then our trip to Tangquan will be a complete waste."

Yu Ying'er's face turned even uglier when she heard this. She had thought Zhen Huan would plead for her, but she had not expected this. She could not help but get furious:

"Wan Chang is wrong here. I know that I come from a humble background and am not as talented as Chang Zai, but Chang Zai doesn't have to laugh at me like this!"

I scolded Yu Ying'er, waking her up:

"That's not what Sister Wan meant. Don't talk back!"

However, Yu Ying'er obviously didn't listen to me. She glared at me and said in a sharper tone:

"It's easy for the young master to say..."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor's face darkened and he looked at Yu Ying'er with a sharp gaze:

"Yu Ying'er, your words and actions today are truly disrespectful!"

Seeing the emperor's anger, Yu Ying'er's face turned pale instantly. She quickly knelt on the ground and apologized repeatedly:

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I know I was wrong. I will reform myself in the future and will not cause trouble to Your Majesty again..."

The emperor snorted coldly:

"An Changzai, for your sake, I will not punish her yet. You still need to discipline your palace maids!"

After saying that, the emperor walked away, and the rest of us knelt on the ground.

......

Yu Ying'er's behavior really made me angry and annoyed. I felt like my heart was being scratched by a cat's claws and was very angry.

I was alone in the room, feeling sullen for no reason. Just then, Xiao Tao came skipping in, holding a candied haws in her hand.

"My dear, what's wrong with you? Why are you hiding here alone? Your face is longer than Changbai Mountain."

Xiaotao blinked her big watery eyes and looked at me innocently.

I sighed and told Xiaotao everything about Yu Ying'er. Xiaotao frowned, but soon relaxed again and patted my shoulder like a little adult:

"My lady, please don't be angry! We adults are magnanimous, so don't bother with her! Or...how about...try a bite of the candied haws? They're delicious!"

I smiled helplessly, and the anger in my heart gradually subsided under Xiaotao's comfort:

"Xiao Tao, but I'm worried that she will implicate me in this matter, which will greatly reduce my impression in the emperor's mind."

Xiao Tao raised her brows when she heard this, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes:

"My lady, don't worry! I'll help you keep an eye on Yu Ying'er. If she dares to do anything wrong again, I'll beat her to a pulp with my 'Little Peach Fist'!"

Looking at her confident and innocent look, I couldn't help but laugh at her.

In this palace full of intrigue and scheming, I am truly fortunate to have someone like Xiao Tao who treats me sincerely. I gently scratched her nose and said gratefully:

"Xiao Tao, you are really my good sister. With you by my side, I am not afraid of anything."

"Hehe, young lady, you should have a good rest first. I'll go and look after Yu Ying'er and make sure she doesn't do anything wrong. I'll come find you later!"

......

"My lady, this is bad! I just passed by the small kitchen and saw Yu Ying'er making safflower soup there!"

My heart suddenly tightened when I heard this. Safflower soup! That's a forbidden ingredient in the palace, often used to cause miscarriage or infertility. Yu Ying'er's move was clearly an attempt to murder me!

I stood up quickly, looking serious:

"Xiao Tao, did you see clearly? Are you sure it's safflower soup?"

Xiao Tao nodded repeatedly, her voice trembling a little:

"I saw it with my own eyes, so I can't be wrong."

I was horrified. If this were true, the consequences would be unimaginable.

I had to take action immediately, just in case.

I looked at Xiao Tao trembling, and said to her calmly:

"Don't be afraid, Xiaotao. Let's activate the Oleander Elf Mode."

"...Okay, sister... I have the Oleander Elf system in my mind, I can help you think, but just like before, asking questions will cost money..."
