Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 199 Phoenix 1 No 2

Ji Anni and Yizhen spent most of the day together, eating lunch and dinner together, and before they knew it, it was already dark.

Recently, because of the incident between Concubine Baogui and Yun Zhen, Ji Anni's heart has been filled with dark clouds. Only when she is with Yi Zhen can she temporarily forget those troubles and become a carefree girl again. Without Yun Zhen's company, she will be fighting alone in the palace in the future. Going home seems to be a distant dream again. I wonder how Grandpa and the others are doing...

After chatting with Yizhen for a long time, Ji Anni finally yawned after an unknown amount of time.

After saying goodbye to Yizhen, Ji Anni returned to her room sleepily.

The Concubine Palace is different from the Right Courtyard. In the Right Courtyard, the Queen and the Palace Maids live together, but in the Concubine Palace, the Queen and the Palace Maids live separately. Without Huarong and Die'er around her, Ji Anni was a little uncomfortable.

She comforted herself that it was better this way, as it was quieter.

Ji Anni was a little tired, so she lay on the bed in a daze. She planned to wash up later, but now she would just lie there quietly for a while, calm her mind, and not think about anything...

Grandfather, Queen Mother, Yun Zhen, Concubine Baogui, Emperor, Fox... I don't want to think about anything...

Just when I was about to clear my mind of all the mess, I suddenly heard a few knocks on the door.

It’s so late, could it be Yizhen?

Ji Anni responded and ran to open the door. Unexpectedly, when she opened the door, she found that the person who came was not Yizhen, but Huarong.

"It's so late? What happened?" Ji Anni could hardly open her eyes.

Hua Rong was like a kitten, quietly sneaking past Ji Anni into the room, closing the door and saying, "My Lady, I have thought about it over and over again, and there are some things I have to say."

Seeing her so cautious, Ji Anni, who was still sleepy, woke up a little and asked, "What did you say?"

Hua Rong said, "My Lady, do you still remember the day of Concubine Su Cong's birthday party? When you went to Concubine Su's palace to find her, she had already prepared the meal and was waiting for you. In other words, from that time on, Concubine Su Cong had become very familiar with the Imperial Kitchen."

"What's wrong?" Ji Annie sat leisurely on the edge of the bed.

Hua Rong approached and said, "Your Highness, let's go back a little further. On the first day of training in Renhe Hall, Princess Tianning snatched your maid. Perhaps Concubine Shui Cong was inspired by something, so she snatched Concubine Su Cong's maid the next day."

"Isn't this too much?" Ji Annie stared. She didn't expect Shui Furong to snatch the maid away so early.

Looking back, after the concubine training ended, which was the day when the name tags were submitted at the Xuantian Palace Night Banquet, Ji Anni asked Huarong to help Yizhen comb her hair, but Huarong said she didn't know how to comb Yizhen's Nanhu County bun.

In other words, ever since Yizhen's maid was taken away by Shui Furong, Yizhen's hair has always belonged to Nanhu County.

Since Huarong could tell which was the palace bun and which was the folk bun of Nanhu County, shouldn't she have known everything on the first day when Yizhen's maid was kidnapped?

Although Huarong was not Ji Anni's personal maid at that time, she was also present when Princess Tianning came to Renhe Hall to make trouble and scalded Yizhen. Huarong should have noticed the problem with Yizhen's bun, but she kept her mouth shut and didn't say a word...

Thinking of this, Ji Anni became even more dissatisfied with Hua Rong and began to complain secretly.

This Hua Rong didn't say what she should say, and said a lot of things she shouldn't say. Yizhen was bullied, and she didn't say what she should say. She talked about being the queen, the alienation plan, meeting the prince Ming, and the emperor's painstaking efforts over and over again without getting tired of it.

At this time, Hua Rong said again: "My queen, you are meddling in other people's business again today. Concubine Su Cong is hoping that her maid will be snatched away by Concubine Shui Cong, so that she can have an excuse to help in the imperial kitchen."

"That's because Yizhen is kind-hearted." From what Huarong said, it seemed as if Yizhen's going to the imperial kitchen was premeditated...

"Your Majesty, can't you see? Yizhen has already started trying to get close to the Emperor."

Hua Rong suddenly got to the point and Ji Anni was stunned for a moment.

Hua Rong continued, "Your Majesty, everything Concubine Su Cong did was just to wait for an opportunity to come. She was just waiting for the day when the emperor would ask who cooked the dish, and then she could meet him. At that time, the emperor would definitely be surprised that a concubine would go to the imperial kitchen to help. Then Concubine Su Cong could tell the whole story and file a complaint in front of the emperor, so that she could get revenge."

Ji Anni's heart sank, and she said unhappily, "Hua Rong... why do you always think badly of Yi Zhen? Even if you are complaining, it's not a complaint, but a statement of fact! It was Shui Furong who bullied her first, and she had no choice but to go to the imperial kitchen to get food for every meal. After a few visits, she got to know the chefs. Helping to cook a few side dishes in her spare time, what's so strange about that?"

"Precisely because there is nothing strange and everything is logical, that is where Concubine Su Congfei is most brilliant." Hua Rong emphasized in Ji Anni's ear with a gloomy look.

"Forget it, I won't talk to you." The more she talked, the angrier she became. Hua Rong must have a prejudice against Yi Zhen, which is why she is targeting her like this.

"Your Highness, if Concubine Su Cong's goal is just to be an imperial concubine or a noble concubine, it's fine, because there can be eight imperial concubines and four noble concubines. But..." Hua Rong suddenly lowered her voice and her eyes became terrifying, "If she wants to be the queen... Your Highness, you... you have to be on guard against her. Because there is only one queen... If it's her, it can't be you, and if it's you, it can't be her."

Ji Anni sneered: "Why can't Yizhen be the queen? Yizhen will definitely be better than Concubine An as the queen, right?"

"Your Majesty, there is only one queen, and it can only be you." Hua Rong said firmly.

Ji Anni's voice turned cold: "Why? I should have said it long ago, I don't want to be a queen..."

"Empress." Hua Rong shouted anxiously, but no further words came out.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally made up her mind and asked, "My Lady, are you...really Zhao Ji?"

This sentence hit Ji Anni like a hammer, almost knocking her unconscious. She thought Hua Rong knew something, her eyes became flustered, and she said guiltily: "I, I... Of course I am!"

"Since she is Zhao Ji, how could she not want to be the queen? Since she is Zhao Ji, how could she not care about Prince Ming? Since she is Zhao Ji, how could she ignore the emperor's painstaking efforts? And only care about the national teacher... the national teacher..."

Having said this, he couldn't say any more and ended with a long sigh: "Ah... forget it."

Anyone with eyes can see that Ji Anni is deeply in love with Yun Zhen, not to mention the clever and smart Hua Rong?

And this is exactly the problem that Hua Rong can't understand the most.

Why did Zhao Ji, who should have loved the emperor deeply, suddenly become obsessed with the imperial tutor after entering the palace?

At this moment, there was a sound of wheels rolling outside the door. This sound was very familiar. Before Ji Anni had time to think about it, she heard the voice of an old eunuch outside the door: "Madam, the phoenix carriage is here to pick you up."

Oh my god! Ji Anni was struck by lightning and her whole body was stiff.

No wonder the voice sounded so familiar, it turned out to be the Phoenix Carriage used to take concubines to bed...
