The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

After finishing all this, I quietly retreated and closed the door gently, leaving the emperor and Xia Dongchun in the fragrant room, leaving them alone.

I stood outside the door, feeling both excited and a little uneasy.

Not long after, I stepped into the house again and saw that the emperor and Xia Dongchun both had blushing faces and the atmosphere was a little subtle.

"Ouch!"

I deliberately swayed slightly, as if I was about to fall, and successfully attracted their attention.

"What's wrong with An Guiren? Are you feeling unwell?"

"My feet still hurt a little. I'm afraid my old pain has come back."

The emperor seemed to remember something:

"Last time your foot hurt, I remember sending Wei Lin to check on you. Didn't he cure it?"

"In fact, Doctor Wei Lin's medical skills are very good, but this foot pain is quite strange. It sometimes gets better and sometimes gets worse, and it only occurs occasionally."

"It's okay, it's okay. In that case, you should have a good rest tonight. I will come to see you another day. Tonight, I will go to Concubine Xia's place first."

Xia Dongchun's face was full of anticipation and joy.

"I will send someone to bring you some supplements tomorrow. You should have a good rest first."

After saying that, Xia Dongchun helped the emperor out of my place.

"Congratulations to the emperor."

After I watched them leave, I quickly cleaned the incense burner without leaving any traces.

The emperor's heart has long been attracted to Xia Dongchun. Today, he just took the excuse of my foot disease recurring to go to her.

Even so, I didn't feel too much. After all, this is what my heart desires.

It's just a night with the emperor, how can it be as important as fifty thousand taels of silver?

In order to appease me, the emperor will definitely order someone to send some precious supplements tomorrow, which is also good.

I never exchanged those supplements for silver like I did with other jewelry.

This is a great product for nourishing the body and strengthening the constitution. Therefore, I always accept and consume them all, hoping to take this opportunity to properly nourish my body and look forward to giving birth to a dragon heir one day, thus further strengthening my position in this palace.

When I saw the emperor's gratified look at me, I knew that my status in his heart might have been elevated again.

As for Xia Dongchun, she was naturally filled with joy and gave me a deep look in return. I could feel that her and my index were also rising.

However, all these calculations and speculations still need to wait until Xiao Tao comes back and calls out the Oleander warehouse for further confirmation.

At this moment, I miss Xiaotao so much.

......

Before I knew it, another half month had passed.

There are still two months until Xiaotao comes back.

I still live every day cautiously.

I remember that in my previous life, my father was imprisoned together with "Jiang Wenqing". Zhen Huan once took me to ask the Queen for help. Zhen Huan showed her goodwill by "circling the tree three times and finally finding a branch to lean on", but she never helped the Queen do anything afterwards.

So, after the Queen hinted that I should surrender to her last time, I didn't ask any further questions.

Every time I paid my respects to the Queen, Hua Fei and I tacitly avoided eye contact to avoid revealing our true intentions.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."

"Get up. Take a seat."

After the Queen offered her a seat, Xia Dongchun took her seat very slowly, being helped by her maid, and then said to the Queen:

"Your Majesty, this stool is quite hard. I am not very comfortable sitting on it. Could you please give me a cushion?"

Before the Queen could speak, Concubine Hua's voice rang out coldly:

"Oh, you haven't even reached a high position yet, and you're already nitpicking about the things in the palace. If Concubine Xia really feels uncomfortable, why don't you just go back to your parents' home and enjoy yourself? This palace can't accommodate your delicate body."

Xia Dongchun heard this and a flash of anger flashed across his face, but it was quickly replaced by pride, and he said proudly:

"Your Highness, Concubine Hua, are mistaken. I am not a spoiled child, but I am pregnant, so I must be extra careful. The imperial physician came to see me yesterday and said it was the Dragon Heir."

Xia Dongchun was indeed pregnant.

I looked around and everyone was shocked, and then everyone's expressions and thoughts were different.

Xia Dongchun paused deliberately, looked around, his eyes full of provocation, and then added:

"Unlike some people, even if they are in a high position and have great power, they still..."

After saying this, she covered her mouth and smiled, her words implicitly mocking Hua Fei's infertility.

Hua Fei's face instantly turned ashen, her eyes seemed to be able to spit fire, and her clenched fists revealed her inner anger and unwillingness, but she still maintained her calm and pride, and said coldly:

"Mrs. Xia, it's too early to say that. Although I'm not pregnant, in this palace, pregnancy isn't necessarily a blessing. You'd better be careful."

Xin Changzai, the woman who always spoke her mind, spoke again at this moment, with a bit of disdain in her tone:

"Even if Lady Xia is pregnant, it's only been a month, and her belly is still flat. Why is she so squeamish? It's as if she's never been pregnant before."

Xia Dongchun's face darkened when he heard this, but then he sneered and replied:

"Xin Changzai, there is a difference in status between you and me. I am now a noble lady, and you are still a Changzai. This is the rule. I am pregnant with the dragon heir, so naturally I have to be cautious. How can I be compared with you?"

The Queen finally spoke at this time, her voice gentle but powerful:

"It is a great joy for the Qing Dynasty that a concubine in the harem has given birth to a prince. As members of the harem, you should celebrate together. How can you quarrel here? If this gets out, wouldn't it make people laugh?"

After saying this, the Queen gently waved her hand, motioning Aunt Jianqiu beside her to come forward, and instructed:

"Jianqiu, go get a fine goose feather cushion and give it to Concubine Xia. This will make her more comfortable and help her take care of her baby."

Jianqiu took the order and left. After a while, he came back with a soft goose feather cushion and handed it respectfully to Xia Dongchun.

After Xia Dongchun thanked the Queen for her gift, Noble Lady Fucha spoke slowly, with a subtle hint of bitterness in her voice:

"Lady Xia is truly blessed. She's one of the newly promoted concubines along with us, and she's already pregnant in just a short time. I originally thought that Shen Yingda from Cunju Hall would be the first among the newly promoted concubines, but I didn't expect her to be faking her pregnancy to win favor. Lady Xia, you must be careful not to follow in Shen Yingda's footsteps and make the same mistake."

"Noble Lady Fucha is right. What happened to Ms. Shen did serve as a warning to us. However, I, Xia Dongchun, have always been cautious and would never do anything that would deceive the emperor. This dragon heir is a gift from heaven, and I will cherish him and take good care of him."

Noble Lady Fucha smiled faintly, but her eyes held a subtle hint of provocation. "Noble Lady Xia, that's easy to say. Who can say for sure what goes on in the palace? However, since you're pregnant, you should consult the Empress more and learn how to raise a prince. After all, it's no easy task."
