Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

After tidying up the room, Concubine Baogui gave Ji Anni a few more instructions before leaving.

After sending off the precious concubine, Ji Anni fell on the bed with exhaustion. She felt exhausted not because she was physically tired, but because she was mentally tired. Looking back, a lot of things happened today. In the morning, she was still at her grandfather's house in the countryside, but now she has come to the palace of the Tianyou Dynasty, and has become a concubine. She is no longer the ordinary high school student she used to be, but one of the emperor's concubines and the mother of a five-year-old child. The change in status is so great that Ji Anni still finds it incredible when she thinks about it now.

I pinched myself and it hurt a lot. It wasn’t a dream.

Alas...if this was really a dream, she would like to go back quickly.

What if Grandpa found out she was missing? Would he be worried? Would her family and friends miss her? Would they look for her everywhere? If she didn't come back for three to five years, everyone would think she was dead, right? Now I live in the body of a beautiful woman named Zhao Ji. I don't even have my own body. It's almost the same as being dead.

On the first day of entering the palace, I offended the Queen Mother and the Princess. I don’t know how they will bully me in the future.

Ji Anni rolled over on the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt. She was so tired, so tired... Really so tired... As long as she thought about learning etiquette tomorrow and having to face such a savage princess and arrogant queen mother in the future, she had the urge to sleep to death in bed and never get up again.

But just as Ji Anni closed her eyes, she suddenly heard a gentle knock on the door.

Ji Anni opened her eyes sensitively, thinking that she was hallucinating. But she pricked up her ears and listened carefully. The knocking on the door did not stop, coming intermittently from outside the door. Strange? Who would come so late? Suddenly, she remembered that Yun Zhen seemed to have said that this Concubine Palace was the place with the most ghost stories in the palace.

Thinking of this, Ji Anni couldn't help but shudder.

No way, no way... Could it be that my luck is really too good that I ran into a ghost on my first day here?

Ji Anni got up and sat on the bed, wrapped herself in the quilt, stared at the dark door, and held her breath. She silently said in her heart: Sister Ghost, please go away quickly, it's not me who hurt you, don't come to scare me, my family has been good citizens for three generations, and I have never done anything to let you down, and I just came into this world today, it's impossible for me to hurt you, please go away quickly, please go away quickly...

As I was reciting, I heard not only a knock on the door, but also a soft call.

"Souji-sister... Soji-sister..."

It was a very cute female voice, sweet, and probably about the same age as Ji Anni. Ji Anni thought: Shouldn't the voice of an ungrateful ghost be long and eerie? It's very different from this cute voice now. What? It turns out it's not a ghost. It scared me to death.

So Ji Anni got bolder and asked outside the door, "Who is it?"

After hearing Ji Anni's reply, the knocking stopped. The lovely female voice replied, "I am Su Yizhen, who entered the palace three days ago. I am the daughter of the county magistrate of Nanhu County. I live next door to you. I heard the noise just now and knew that you were here, so I came to say hello to you."

Oh, so you came to say hello to me.

Ji Anni was a person who liked to make friends, and the girl outside the door was so charming that she couldn't find any reason to refuse. So even if she was tired and wanted to sleep, she recovered most of her energy after hearing that sweet voice. She quickly threw off the quilt and jumped out of the bed, saying, "Wait a minute, I'll open the door."

When I opened the door, I saw a girl of about sixteen or seventeen standing outside.

The girl was slightly shorter than Ji Anni, with her hair scattered on her shoulders and wearing a thin single-piece dress. She must have gone to bed, but she got up to greet Ji Anni after hearing that she had returned. Although the girl was not as pretty as Shui Furong and Baogui Fei who I had met today, she gave people a lovely feeling. Her face was round, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and her smile was so sweet that it made people feel happy.

Ji Anni had just been very angry with Princess Tianning, but now when she saw Yizhen's smile, she felt like a person from darkness suddenly seeing the sunshine, and her mood improved a lot.

This Yizhen... in modern terms, is probably someone with a "healing" smile, right?

"elder sister."

Yizhen not only had a sweet smile, but also a sweet voice. She called Ji Anni "sister" all the time, which made her feel embarrassed. She quickly spread her hands towards the house and said, "It's cold outside, Concubine Su, please come in and sit down."

As Yizhen walked in, she said, "Sister, don't call me Su Congfei. Just call me Yizhen. Congfei Congfei sounds so distant."

Not to mention that Yizhen felt distant being called Concubine, even Ji Anni herself felt uncomfortable.

"Well, I'll call you Yizhen from now on." Ji Anni invited Yizhen into the house. Seeing a pot of tea on the table, she poured a cup for Yizhen. "The tea is a little cold, moisten your mouth. By the way, Yizhen, actually, there's not much difference in age between you and me. Don't call me sister, just call me Anni."

Zhao Ji was 18 years old, Ji Anni was 16 years old, and Yizhen was probably about 16 or 17 years old. Ji Anni didn't dislike Yizhen calling her sister, but she felt that Yizhen was like her classmate, and it was really awkward to be called sister by her classmate.

"Annie?" Yizhen was stunned.

Oops... Ji Anni stuck out her tongue, then realized that she had let the cat out of the bag, and quickly changed her words: "Wrong, wrong, you should call me... call me... call me Xiao Zhao..."

In a hurry, I didn't think much and blurted out the nickname Xiao Zhao. After saying it, I realized why it sounded so familiar? It seemed like a character in a martial arts movie. Oh, forget it, anyway, no one in the harem of this Tianyou Holy Dynasty would watch Jin Yong's dramas.

"Xiao Zhao," Yizhen repeated in a low voice and laughed. Without thinking too much about what "Annie" was, she took out a small package and said, "This is a specialty of our Nanhu County, candied dates with rock sugar. If you don't mind, try it. It's moist and sweet, and delicious."

As he spoke, he opened the small paper bag, and big, red dates appeared in front of Ji Annie.

Ji Anni's stomach couldn't help but growl.

She only ate a piece of bread this morning before traveling through time. She traveled with Yun Zhen during the day and arrived at the palace in the evening. She thought she could have a good meal at the Queen Mother's banquet, but she didn't have the chance to pick up her chopsticks. She came back angry after eating. Now seeing these big red dates, Ji Anni's gluttony was aroused.

So she didn't bother to be polite with Yizhen and picked one up and threw it into her mouth.

Hmm...it's really delicious...

This date is just like Yizhen, sweet but not greasy, refreshing and smooth. Ji Anni praised it endlessly, "Nanhu County is really a good place. Not only are the dates good, but even you, Yizhen, are as sweet and beautiful as this candied date. It's decided, I will call you Little Candied Date from now on."
