The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

"Okay, upgrade quickly! Let Xiaotao come back!"

I couldn't wait any longer. Unexpectedly, the oleander fairy told me:

"An Lingrong, it will take three months to upgrade the system. During this time, the system will stop functioning and cannot be reactivated."

After saying this, the oleander elf disappeared, and everything turned into peace.

Three months, that is to say, during these three months, I had no help and had to fight alone.

Wait. Keep a low profile. Wait for Xiaotao to return.

......

These days, I have been immersed in deep thoughts of Xiaotao, as if the whole world has lost its color.

The changes in the outside world seem distant and vague to me.

Since returning from the Tangquan Palace, the Emperor has not summoned me again. However, this has also helped me, allowing me to avoid the turmoil of the harem and live peacefully in this turbulent environment. After all, without the help of the oleander spirit during this period, the best strategy is to protect myself.

However, the noise and disputes in the outside world did not subside because of my silence.

Zhen Huan was now the center of attention in the imperial harem. The Emperor's exclusive favor for her had sparked jealousy and resentment in nearly every concubine. The Emperor summoned her daily, even if it wasn't for his bed, simply to play chess. This level of favor made Zhen Huan a target of public criticism.

A few days ago, Zhen Huan was late for her visit to the Empress, and was met with taunts and ridicule from Concubine Hua and Concubine Li. That day, the atmosphere in Jingren Palace was suffocatingly tense. Concubine Hua's sarcastic remarks and Concubine Li's taunting made Zhen Huan's situation even more difficult.

Later, on the long street, Zhen Huan encountered Hua Fei's harassment again. This time, Shen Meizhuang, who was close to Zhen Huan, was also embarrassed. Hua Fei's arrogance and domineering behavior made everyone present tremble with fear.

Furthermore, Concubine Li went to the Empress Dowager to complain about Zhen Huan's exclusive favor. The Emperor also seemed to know about this. After visiting Zhen Huan for several days, the Emperor unexpectedly went to see Concubine Qi. However, it is said that after Concubine Qi kept muttering, "The Third Prince has grown taller again," she left immediately and went to Sui Yuxuan again.

Such news undoubtedly made the concubines in the harem even more jealous of Zhen Huan. They all speculated how long the emperor's favor for Zhen Huan would last.

Let’s talk about Shen Meizhuang, who has the power to assist in managing the six palaces. She has also been having a hard time these days.

Although she was slightly neglected by the Emperor due to Zhen Huan's favor, she always held tightly to her power of assisting the six palaces, never letting up in the slightest. This power was both an honor and a heavy burden.

However, this power also made Hua Fei, who once had the power to assist in managing the six palaces, dissatisfied with her.

One day, Concubine Hua deliberately provoked Shen Meizhuang by forcing her to copy the lengthy and tedious "Nu Lunyu." This "Nu Lunyu" is a model text for women in ancient times, serving as a model for self-cultivation and family harmony. Its lengthy text made copying extremely time-consuming and laborious. Concubine Hua's move was undoubtedly intended to intimidate Shen Meizhuang and show her that managing the six harems was no easy task.

Not only that, Concubine Hua often called Shen Meiyu to Yiku Palace on the pretext of "teaching her how to assist in managing the six palaces", and asked her to look at the account books and learn management. In fact, she was torturing her and making things difficult for her.

Although Shen Meizhuang knew it well, she could do nothing about it. She could only swallow her anger and deal with it cautiously.

However, the turmoil in the harem could not be quelled by simply forbearance. Those undercurrents and those with ulterior motives were all watching from the shadows, waiting for an opportunity.

Until the Shen Meizhuang "Thousand Carp Pond" incident. Although I have experience from my previous life and know that it was Concubine Hua who did it after the mystery was finally solved, I cannot change history immediately.

However, there is one event that history has changed: the incident in Zhen Huan's previous life where she was drugged by Yu Ying'er.

Since Yu Ying'er had been beaten to death, Zhen Huan did not hear about this matter.

Zhen Huan may not know yet, but it was me who indirectly helped her escape.

Another person who received my favor was Concubine Li.

She wasn't frightened into closure by the incident with Yu Ying'er. From then on, she continued to serve as her mistress in the palace, having not been banished to the cold palace by Concubine Hua. It's a pity that Concubine Li didn't know it was me who helped change her fate.

When faced with these disturbances, I try to avoid them whenever possible and keep a low profile.

The only person I miss in my heart is Xiaotao.

......

Spring turns to summer, time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, the hot summer arrives. The sun shines blazingly on the earth, and the air is filled with a lazy and warm atmosphere.

I spent two months in the palace, cautious and careful. Every day, I walked on thin ice, fearing that my words and actions would cause unnecessary trouble.

However, in this caution, I also gained a rare tranquility and peace.

Xiaotao's coming back is like a clear spring, nourishing my dry heart and filling me with endless joy and anticipation.

According to the custom of previous years, the emperor will lead the harem to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat.

I remember that at this time in the previous life, Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and the Emperor were discussing going to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat in the Queen's Jingren Palace.

At that time, due to my humble status, I was unable to participate. However, due to the presence of Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, they were able to accompany the emperor to the Old Summer Palace.

At that time, they did not mention to the emperor about taking me with them. It was only later, when Shen Meiyu was pregnant and could not serve him in the emperor's bedchamber, that Zhen Huan took me to the Old Summer Palace in order to consolidate her position.

Since I will be going to the Old Summer Palace no matter whether it is morning or evening, why not go with me and enjoy a rare coolness and comfort in the hot summer.

What's more, the Oleander Elf is about to be upgraded.

Once the upgrade is successful, Xiaotao will be able to return to my side. With her company and protection, I will have nothing to fear.

Thinking of the picturesque scenery of the Old Summer Palace, the rippling lakes, the lush forests, the flower beds full of colorful flowers... every place makes people linger.

I believe Xiaotao will like it there.

Thinking of this, I got up and walked towards Shen Meizhuang's Cunju Hall.

......

When I arrived at the entrance of Cunju Hall, I saw Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan walking out hand in hand, talking and laughing. I greeted them with a smile:

"I was just thinking of coming here to talk to Sister Mei. I didn't expect Sister Wan to be here too. Where are you two going?"

Zhen Huan saw me and said with a smile:

"You've arrived just in time. We're just about to go to Jingren Palace to pay our respects to the Empress. Let's go together!"

Shen Meizhuang smiled and said:

"Since I've been assisting in the management of the six palaces, things have become more complicated. My two sisters may have to listen to those boring accounts from me and the Queen soon."

"Sister, just take care of the bills. Sister An and I will just drink tea!"
