Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 296 New Love and Old Love

Looking at Princess Tianning's stubborn gaze at all costs, Kang Fangting's eyes gradually became sore and tears rolled down silently.

An ominous premonition hung over Kang Fangting like a dark cloud, making her chest suddenly feel heavy.

"Fang Ting, why are you crying?" Princess Tianning found Kang Fang Ting wiping her tears.

"No, I didn't." Kang Fangting turned her face away hastily and wiped away her tears. "I didn't sleep all night, and my eyes hurt a little."

"Fang Ting, you are my best friend, can't you be happy for me?" Princess Tianning grabbed Kang Fang Ting's sleeve and begged bitterly, "I'm about to get married... Can't you be happy for me?..."

It's obviously a happy event, why is it soaked in tears?

It's obviously a happy event, why do all the people keep shaking their heads and sighing?

What went wrong? What went wrong? Princess Tianning's heart was filled with this question, and she felt depressed and painful.

"Princess... I'm sorry, I shouldn't cry, I'm sorry..." Kang Fangting hurriedly wiped away her tears with her hands, but the more she wiped, the faster the tears flowed.

This was the first time Princess Tianning saw Kang Fangting crying.

Is the future I choose really so miserable and worrying?

Why did even Fantine, a girl who never cries, cry out of worry?

Princess Tianning felt empty inside, she had lost her sense of right and wrong, and she had lost herself.

Wenhuayuan, Taoyuan.

Ji Anni came to the door and kept looking out.

The two gate guards asked, "My Lady, what are you looking at? Are you waiting for someone?"

Ji Annie waved her hand and said, "No, no, I just wanted to see if the two kids next door went to class today."

The guard replied respectfully, "Thank you for your trouble, Your Majesty. They left early this morning."

"What? Already gone? That's good." Ji Anni rubbed her chest and realized that she had gotten up late.

The fact that Chang Sun Mingri and Zhuang Xiaomeng are starting classes means that the beginners of Wenhua Academy are not on break today, which also means that Prince Ming is also attending class.

Ji Annie was very worried about Prince Ming's weak appearance yesterday, but now she is relieved to know that he has returned to school.

I wonder what he had for breakfast and whether he enjoyed it.

Ji Anni thought about it and subconsciously wanted to continue looking outside. She did not see Prince Ming, but she saw Huarong carrying a basket and walking towards Taoyuan. The clever guard immediately said, "My queen, I am here to bring you food."

Ji Anni touched her belly and found it was indeed a little flat. It turned out that it was time to eat.

Hua Rong is Ji Anni's source of information. Ji Anni, who is under house arrest by the Queen Mother, can only learn about what is happening outside through Hua Rong who delivers meals, otherwise she will be completely isolated from the world. The biggest news in the palace now is the marriage between Princess Tianning and the general, and Hua Rong is deeply involved in this marriage, and is one of the corners of the love triangle.

After hearing about Princess Tianning and Kang Xiaorong's engagement yesterday, Ji Anni has been very worried about Huarong.

Today, I saw Huarong coming from afar, and it seemed that she didn't look any different from usual.

I thought that Hua Rong was indeed a beautiful woman. She hid her emotions too deeply. This was not good for her health...

Cry when you should cry, laugh when you should laugh, that's what it means to live happily. Huarong never cries when she should cry, never laughs when she should laugh, she keeps a poker face all day long, all men are scared away, and no one knows what Kang Xiaorong likes about her.

But this cannot be blamed entirely on Hua Rong. What happened three years ago must have left an indelible shadow in her heart.

Perhaps Huarong's personality changed drastically since then - Ji Anni guessed so.

"My lady? Why are you standing at the door? Are you hungry?"

Ji Anni was in a daze when Hua Rong appeared in front of her.

Hua Rong thought that Ji Anni was waiting at the door because she was very hungry.

"Come on, Huarong, let's talk in the room." Ji Anni pulled Huarong over and quickly pulled her into the room.

In the room, Shui Furong had just woken up and was dressing up in front of the mirror. His nimble fingers and conceited movements were even more feminine than a woman's. Until now, Ji Anni still couldn't believe that he was actually a real man.

This must be a huge joke of the century played by God.

Ji Anni and Shui Furong have been "living together" for several days. Except for the occasional slight discomfort when changing clothes, Ji Anni has always felt that she is as close to him as a sister and there is no inconvenience at all.

She even felt that Shui Furong was more feminine than herself, which caused her to question her own gender.

If I am a woman, then what is he? If he is a man, then what am I? Ji Anni felt dizzy.

Hua Rong didn't know Shui Furong's real gender. Even when he saw Shui Furong sitting in front of the mirror and dressing up, he didn't react at all. He greeted him as usual. When he saw Shui Furong fixing her hair with her hands backwards, he couldn't help but walk forward to help.

"Huarong..." Ji Annie looked at Huarong's back and called out softly, with a hint of worry in her voice.

Hua Rong knew what she wanted to ask, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty, please eat early. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

The basket of vegetables had already been placed on the table, but no one had opened the lid yet.

Ji Annie had no mind to eat now. She knew Hua Rong must be feeling bad but she had to pretend nothing was wrong.

"Hua Rong... I know I have no right to say anything to you, but if there is anything I can do to help, I hope you can tell me... We can be considered... we can be considered good sisters, right..."

In fact, when Ji Anni said the three words "good sisters", she also felt a little unbelievable.

Thinking back to the first time she met Hua Rong, she was stunned by her words. Later, when Hua Rong became her personal maid, she always felt some resistance and disgust in her heart. Now thinking back, she felt that those resistance and disgust were just childish and ignorant behavior. In fact, Hua Rong was not a bad person, but there were too many constraints on her, which made her unable to control herself.

Ji Anni was moved by Hua Rong's story more than once, and felt both sympathy and awe for her.

Hua Rong always gives off a dangerous aura that doesn't allow others to get close to her, and she deliberately keeps a distance from others.

The three words "good sisters" were said without any hesitation. In fact, in Ji Anni's heart, she had already regarded Hua Rong as a good sister, but it was only today that she had the opportunity to admit it.

"Your Majesty, you are overthinking it. Huarong didn't think about anything." Huarong gently helped Shui Furong comb her hair and replied to Ji Anni coldly.

"What are you talking about?" Shui Furong was confused. But when she recalled how Ji Anni had deliberately pulled her away and left Huarong and Kang Xiaorong behind when she first came to Wenhuayuan, she felt more and more that something was fishy.

"Oh, I remember now." Shui Furong suddenly realized and turned to stare at Hua Rong, "You and the young general are engaged, right?"

Shui Furong was a daughter of an official family, and had heard some gossip about the upper-class families. After entering the palace, no one had mentioned this to him, and he almost forgot about this old story. He knew that Huarong was the daughter of Xi Jinde, and the Xi and Kang families were both well-known and powerful families. Following this clue, he gradually remembered that the Xi and Kang families had a marriage contract.

His words caused a dead silence in the room. Huarong's hand combing his hair suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong? Did I remember it wrong?" Shui Furong still didn't know where she went wrong.

"My queen, that's all in the past." Hua Rong's hands moved slowly again and continued to comb Shui Furong's hair. Her attitude was so indifferent, as if she was completely out of the matter.

"Isn't it just three years..." Shui Furong didn't think that three years was a long time, but how come when it came to Hua Rong's mouth, it seemed like a grudge from the previous life?

Ji Anni interrupted, "Hua Rong, you know that the young general has always liked you..."

A few days ago, Ji Anni witnessed them kissing. If there was no love between them, they would not do such a thing.

Hua Rong remained silent without any response, but her movements of combing Shui Furong's hair gradually slowed down, as if the calm surface of the lake in her heart was broken, and ripples appeared.

Shui Furong was full of gossip and asked curiously, "Hua Rong, did the young general talk to you?"

Just as he said this, he remembered that Kang Xiaorong was seriously injured and couldn't get out of bed, so it was impossible for him to come to Huarong, so he changed the topic and asked, "Huarong, have you seen him again?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she remembered again, how could Hua Rong be qualified to meet Kang Xiaorong? If she really went, wouldn't it give people something to talk about?

After thinking about it, there is no chance that the two of them would ever have the chance to meet. Should they just let the situation run wild?

At this time, Hua Rong finally spoke: "Your Majesty... I really don't have any feelings for the young general anymore..."

She wanted to use this sentence to sever all ties with Kang Xiaorong, and also wanted to use this sentence to completely shut up Shui Furong's nosy mouth.

Shui Furong sighed bitterly, "Young General is really something. He forgets his old love as soon as he finds a new one. Sigh, men..."

It was a bit strange and awkward to hear these words coming from a man.

Hua Rong couldn't bear to hear others talking about Kang Xiaorong's faults, so she quickly argued, "It has nothing to do with him. He was also forced."

Shui Furong seized the opportunity and said, "Look, you're still speaking for him. Doesn't that mean you still like him?"

Hua Rong argued: "This servant does not like him, but I just don't want to hear others slander him."

Shui Furong pretended to be angry, slammed the table and said, "You dare to talk to me like this, aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face?"

Hua Rong said calmly, "Even if your Majesty beats me to death, I will still seek justice."

Shui Furong bit her lipstick tightly and pressed on, "You're not even afraid of being beaten to death by me for him, and you still dare to say you don't like him... Why is it so difficult for you to admit that you like him?"

"Okay, Furong." Seeing that Shui Furong and Hua Rong were about to quarrel, Ji Anni hurriedly interrupted to stop the fight.

Shui Furong turned her head away angrily and said, "Humph, forget it. It has nothing to do with me anyway."

The conversation came to an abrupt end here. After Ji Anni and Shui Furong finished their lunch in silence, Hua Rong cleaned up the dishes and went back. During this time, the three of them did not mention the engagement again, fearing that it would end in a bad mood again.

Hua Rong is a stubborn person. Since she has insisted that she has no feelings for Kang Xiaorong, no one else can pry open her mouth and hear her true feelings.
