The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

Chapter 94 Chapter 94 Xia Dongchun's Bedtime Part 2

I shook my head gently, with a bit of helplessness and determination in my tone:

"Sister Xia, in this palace, the most important thing is the Emperor's favor. Without favor, even if you have a fortune, what good is it? If you think it's too expensive, I can't do anything about it. But I can guarantee that this method will make your wish come true."

After hearing this, Xia Dongchun was silent for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind:

"Alright! Five thousand taels is five thousand taels! My Xia family has plenty of silver. But if this method doesn't work, I'll definitely hold you accountable!"

I smiled slightly, feeling secretly proud, but still maintaining my composure:

"Don't worry, Sister Xia. I won't let you down."

......

I returned to my west wing hall with satisfaction, carrying the heavy five thousand taels of silver notes in my pocket.

I casually picked up an exquisite porcelain cup, poured a cup of tea, and told Baojuan beside me:

"Baojuan, give this tea to Xia Dongchun and tell her that it was made by me. It will be of great benefit to her."

Baojuan took the order and left. Not long after, she hurried back with an unconcealable look of joy on her face.

"Miss, Lady Xia happily accepted the tea and drank it all. After finishing, she immediately ordered the maidservants to start dressing up."

When I heard that, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

As expected, within moments, someone from the Imperial Household Department arrived hurriedly, announcing that Xia Dongchun should come to the emperor's bedchamber. The moment this news broke, the entire East Wing Hall erupted in excitement, and Xia Dongchun's maids bustled about, preparing all the necessary items for her.

......

According to the complex yet solemn palace rules, after their first night with the Emperor, concubines were required to kowtow three times and bow three times to the Empress as a sign of respect and submission.

The next morning, I, along with many other concubines, went to the Empress's bedroom to pay my respects as per custom. I saw Xia Dongchun, dressed in gorgeous palace attire, radiant and beaming with unconcealable joy and pride.

Following the rules, she walked respectfully before the Queen, slowly knelt down, and began the solemn ceremony of three kowtows and three bows.

After the ceremony, Xia Dongchun slowly stood up. In the Queen's bedroom, the atmosphere was originally quite peaceful, but as Hua Fei's slightly sarcastic words rang out, the atmosphere of the entire space instantly became subtle.

"It's been over a year. Lady Xia has finally met the Emperor, right? She's been waiting for so long."

Xia Dongchun's face changed slightly when she heard this, but she immediately regained her composure. She fought back, unwilling to be outdone:

"Your Highness, Concubine Hua is right. I have indeed waited a long time. However, whether I receive your favor early or late, or how much or how little, is not important. What matters is the offspring. I hope that I will be blessed and give birth to a son or daughter one day."

Xia Dongchun's words clearly imply that Concubine Hua has been favored for a long time but has no children.

When Concubine Hua heard this, her face instantly turned gloomy. She didn't expect Xia Dongchun to dare to fight back so boldly.

"Lady Xia is quite eloquent, but I wonder if this favor will last. I hope Lady Xia can see the Emperor more often."

......

Back at the Yanxi Palace, I thought Xia Dongchun would go straight back to her East Wing, but she stepped into my West Wing. As soon as she entered, her face was full of joy, and her eyes were shining with excitement.

"Your divination and dream-reading skills are truly miraculous. I really slept with you last night, and seeing how you pissed Concubine Hua off to death today, I felt incredibly refreshed!"

"Sister Xia, you're welcome. I'm very happy to be able to help you."

Xia Dongchun pulled me to sit down, with a look of anxiety on his face:

"Can you help me with my dream divination again? I want to know when I can have a child. If I can conceive a boy right away, I'm willing to spend any amount of money!"

It seems that she has complete faith in my dream-reading and astrology skills.

Actually, I personally think that I am not completely deceiving her. After all, I have the "Oleander Fairy" and it can indeed predict.

However, in order to defeat Concubine Hua and win her favor, Xia Dongchun was willing to spend a lot of money.

"Sister Xia, this art of divination and dream interpretation is not something I can fully control. But I will do my best, but the outcome depends on fate."

I deliberately kept it a secret and said slowly:

"Don't worry, Sister Xia. Dream interpretation and astrology require the right timing, location, and people. It's not easy to come to a definitive conclusion. I've tried my best, but I'm afraid it will take some time before I can reach a more accurate conclusion."

After hearing this, Xia Dongchun twisted her handkerchief unconsciously in her hands:

"It'll take some time? This...what should I do? If you have any accurate information, please let me know immediately. I can always prepare money."

"Don't worry, Sister Xia. We are sisters, so I take your matter to heart. Once there is a definite result, I will inform you immediately without any delay."

After saying that, Xia Dongchun returned to his own west wing hall.

The Xia family is one of the most prominent families in the court, and this glory is naturally fully reflected in the daughter Xia Dongchun.

The confidence she exudes in her every move seems like an innate radiance that cannot be ignored.

Her actions today were straightforward and decisive. Using money in exchange for possible favor seemed to be a simple decision for her, without any hesitation or embarrassment.

As for me, I came from a humble background and had no large family to protect me, so every step I took was like walking on thin ice.

In this palace, the cost of making mistakes is too high. Every choice requires careful consideration, fearing that one wrong step could lead to eternal damnation. This caution and carefulness is my only hope for survival in this deep palace.

I couldn't help but feel a little envious as I looked at Xia Dongchun.

I envy her for being able to fight so calmly and in her own way, even if that method may seem too direct or even a bit mercenary to me. But it is undeniable that she has the confidence and capital that I don't have.

......

"Xiao Tao, can you please ask the oleander elf for me, when will Xia Dongchun have children?"

"My dear, have you decided to help Xia Dongchun get a child?"

"I am just a small noble now. If I want to overthrow the Queen and Zhen Huan and become the Fourth Prince's adoptive mother before Zhen Huan, it will definitely be extremely difficult and I will need someone to protect me."

"Yes... My lady, in your last life, the Empress did you many harm. You must not seek refuge with her anymore. In the later period of this palace, there will be a three-way balance of power between the Empress, Zhen Huan, and Hua Fei. If you seek refuge with Zhen Huan, you will definitely be under her, and you will not be able to raise the Fourth Prince smoothly. So, it seems that only Hua Fei is left."

"That's right, Xiaotao. However, Concubine Hua doesn't allow others to get too close to the Emperor. So, if you want to keep a distance from the Emperor and increase your favor index to advance, I think you can only take on its mission after upgrading the Oleander Elf."
