Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 206: Shuangliu Meeting

Ningshuang thought she had some trick up her sleeve, but Huarong just raised her voice and pretended to shout forward, "Ah, someone is coming!"

This trick really worked. As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Anni and Concubine An let go at the same time as if they were electrocuted.

Not only did he let go, but he also automatically bounced outwards, keeping a distance of more than half a step from Prince Ming.

In fact, the two of them felt more guilty than anyone else, and were more afraid than anyone else of being seen in this ugly act of snatching the child.

After hearing Hua Rong's shout, they reflexively let go of their hands. When they came to their senses, they were already several steps away from Prince Ming. They looked left and right, searching everywhere for who was coming. Not to mention a human figure, they didn't even see a bird. At this time, they suddenly realized that they had been deceived by Hua Rong, who had long seen through their fear of embarrassment.

Although it was good to have a step down, no one wanted to be deceived. Ji Anni and Concubine An both turned back and glared at Hua Rong angrily.

Seeing two fiery gazes shooting towards her, Hua Rong hurriedly smiled bitterly, lowered her head, and humbly apologized: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was dazzled and saw it wrong..."

"Hmph." Concubine An gritted her teeth, fire spurting from her eyes.

This is what Hua Rong was afraid of. She didn't dare to offend Concubine An because she was holding the antidote to the Caixiang flower.

At this moment, several figures approached from a distance. From a distance, it was possible to make out that there were four people in total.

The uneven heights marked the difference in their ages. The tallest was an adult man, the shortest was about the same age as the Ming prince, and the ones of average height were two women dressed elegantly.

The appearance of these four people made Ji Anni and Concubine An no longer bother to blame Hua Rong, and they both turned their eyes to the newcomers.

Prince Ming, who had the best eyesight, shouted in surprise, "Aunt Tianning!"

"Aunt?" Ji Anni was unable to react for a moment. She was stunned for two seconds before she finally calmed down.

That’s right, in terms of seniority, Princess Tianning is indeed the aunt of Prince Ming, but when the word "aunt" really came out of Prince Ming's mouth, it felt a little unreal.

Alas... I guess Princess Tianning must have felt the same when she heard Prince Ming call her "Aunt" as she did when she heard Prince Ming call her "Mom". Ji Anni finally found a little sympathy in Tianning.

Among the four people in the group, Prince Ming only knew Princess Tianning, so he just called her "Aunt Tianning".

After Ji Anni got the hint from Prince Ming calling her "Aunt Tianning", and combined with her own visual observation, she easily solved the identities of the other two. The tallest man should be Major General Kang Xiaorong, and the woman who is slightly taller than Princess Tianning must be Concubine Kang, Kang Fangting, but...

Who is that smallest figure walking in the front?

After Ji Anni entered the palace, she had only seen the prince of Ming as a child. That child was about the same age as the prince of Ming. Seeing that he was escorted by the Kang brothers and sisters and Princess Tianning, he must also be a young nobleman, right?

Are they also going to Wenhua College to attend the opening ceremony?

Just as he was thinking about it, Princess Tianning and others had already approached.

"Concubine Zhao Cong!" Princess Tianning waved to Ji Anni happily after seeing her.

It seems that Princess Tianning is in a good mood today, maybe because she is walking side by side with Kang Xiaorong. In Ji Anni's impression, as long as Princess Tianning is within three steps of Kang Xiaorong, she will be as well-behaved as a kitten.

"Princess, you got up so early today." Ji Anni was a little surprised.

She thought that the princess should be the kind of lazy bum who would sleep until noon, but it seemed that she had misunderstood Tianning.

"Of course it's early, otherwise Lord Changsun would be angry." Tianning frowned whenever she mentioned Lord Changsun. It seemed that Lord Changsun was very strict and showed no mercy to the "honorable" Princess Tianning.

"Princess, are you going to Wenhua Courtyard too?" Ji Anni heard from Huarong that the Changsun family is the largest family in Wenhua Courtyard. Since Tianning mentioned "Lord Changsun", it is likely that the four of them are going to Wenhua Courtyard.

If we simply compare Wenhua College to a joint-stock school, then the prestigious Lord Changsun is a figure like the principal, the Queen Mother is the chairman of the college who has the power to appoint the principal, and the An Group is the chaebol that controls the entire school.

Three years ago, the principal of Wenhua Academy was supposed to be Huarong's father, Xi Jinde. However, Xi Jinde was killed because he spoke ill of his superiors and refused to repent. After the decline of the Xi family, Wenhua Academy was taken over by the Changsun family.

Ji Anni still remembered that before the night banquet of the concubines in Xuantian Palace, Princess Tianning told her during the special training that Xi Jinde was her etiquette teacher. In other words, Princess Tianning was also a student of Wenhua Academy. So after Xi Jinde's death, Princess Tianning's teacher probably became Lord Changsun, right? That's why Tianning showed such a tired and helpless expression when she mentioned Lord Changsun just now.

It seems that no matter what era, the relationship between students and teachers is very delicate.

Even though I know that the teacher's whipping is for my own good, it's not easy to say I love you...

After hearing Ji Anni ask if they were going to Wenhua Court, Princess Tianning pulled the strange little boy in front of her and took the initiative to introduce him, "Princess Zhao Congfei, you don't know him yet, right? He is the son of the Minister of Justice, named Zhuang Xiaomeng. Today's entrance ceremony of Wenhua Court is specially held for him and Prince Ming."

Zhuang Xiaomeng? Ji Anni looked at the little boy carefully.

Although his name sounds a bit feminine, he looks quite manly. His eyes are bright and he looks very clever, as if he is a little elf with a lot of tricks in his head. If we use four words to describe such a child, it would be "quirky" in a nice way, but it would probably be "naughty" in a bad way, right?

If he is compared to a little monkey, then Prince Ming is an introverted and timid little rabbit.

At this time, Zhuang Xiaomeng was looking up at Ji Anni openly, but Prince Ming was shyly hiding behind Ji Anni, with only half of his head exposed. Ji Anni pulled several times before finally pulling Prince Ming out from behind her.

Since Zhuang Xiaomeng is the son of the Minister of Justice, why was he sent here by Kang Xiaorong and Kang Fangting? Is there no one left in the Minister of Justice's family?

Just as Ji Anni was about to ask, the quick-talking Tian Ning said, "Xiao Meng is the nephew of Brother Xiao Rong and Fang Ting. He is five years old this year, the same age as Prince Ming. Brother Xiao Rong, Fang Ting and this princess happened to be free today, so we took the initiative to take on the task of sending Xiao Meng to the palace."

So that's how it is. The Kang family and the Zhuang family are related. As for Princess Tianning, she is really a model of going wherever there is fun.

Based on the relationship between relatives, Ji Anni guessed that Kang Xiaorong and Kang Fangting should have an older sister who married into the Zhuang family.

The Zhuang family is also one of the eight major families, but it is not completely classified into the "An faction" or "Kang faction".

This is a bit strange. Since the Zhuang family and the Kang family are related by marriage, why aren’t they the Kang faction?

It seems that this Zhuang family really has a kind of pure and uncontaminated temperament. As a giant in the Ministry of Justice, he is quite selfless and has a clear mirror hanging high. I guess Zhuang Xiaomeng's father must be a great judge, right? Ji Anni guessed casually.

Since the two teams were going the same way, they went to Wenhuayuan together.

Zhuang Xiaomeng was very curious about Prince Ming and took the initiative to talk to him. Children are children, and they became familiar with each other in a short while.

Prince Ming was introverted, but not aloof. Zhuang Xiaomeng was a bit outgoing and could get along with anyone. So after a few words, the two little guys became friends and ran at the front of the team.

Among the remaining group of people, Princess Tianning was the one who talked the most. She would talk to Ji Anni nonstop, then to Kang Fangting nonstop, and while she was talking she would keep asking Kang Xiaorong for his opinion.

In fact, anyone with eyes can see that Princess Tianning's talk to Ji Anni and Kang Fangting was just a cover. Her real purpose was to take the opportunity to get closer to Kang Xiaorong.
