Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 22 Help from noble people

After these words, the world seemed to stand still.

Not only the two aunts were stunned, but even the concubines were all dumbfounded.

In the extremely wide square, only Ji Anni could be heard with her head lowered.

It was quiet all around, with only the sound of Ji Annie's continuous breathing being heard.

Panting, Ji Anni also felt that something was wrong. Why was no one talking? My aunt didn't even respond? Even if she was angry about her lateness, she should have scolded herself.

Thinking of this, Ji Anni raised her head and secretly glanced at her two aunts.

You don't know until you take a look, and you'll be really shocked when you do.

I saw that the two aunts’ faces were darker than each other, so dark that they could go on stage and sing Bao Gong without any makeup.

Ji Anni was so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe, and subconsciously took two steps back.

Who knew that when he retreated, he would find himself leaning against a wall of flesh behind him.

It’s strange. Ji Anni clearly remembered that there was a square behind her, not a wall?

Just as she was thinking, two hands suddenly touched her shoulders from behind. Ji Anni felt herself surrounded by a very familiar breath. Her heart skipped a beat and her body stiffened for some reason.

Even without looking back, she had already guessed who it was.

Because she had seen the group of concubines in front of her, all of them had changed their stunned expressions, and now they were either looking infatuated or shy.

Even the two old palace maids, Aunt Yang and Aunt Yu, had softened their sullen expressions.

Who else but Yun Zhen could have caused such a huge reaction among so many women present?

This is the charm of beauty.

At this time, Yun Zhen said, "Aunts, Concubine Zhao just entered the Gang Palace yesterday evening. Not only was she tired from the bumpy carriage ride, but she also went to the Queen Mother's dinner party in the evening. She was too tired and overslept. Aunts, please forgive her this time."

As soon as Yun Zhen opened his mouth, it immediately caused quite a stir among the concubines, and everyone was talking about it in a low voice.

They were all young concubines who had just entered the palace. Some knew Yun Zhen but had never seen him, some had seen him but didn’t know him, and some knew for the first time that there was such a handsome man in the palace.

These concubines were not very old, the youngest was only twelve or thirteen, and the oldest was no more than sixteen or seventeen, which was the age when they were full of infinite expectations for their prince charming. Although they entered the palace and became concubines at an early age, they always had beautiful visions of love in their hearts.

Now that Yun has really appeared, she has become their common dream and psychological comfort. No wonder they are so excited.

Even Yizhen was staring at Yunzhen with an intoxicated look on her face.

Alas... Ji Annie sighed secretly and thought: It seems that there are not only me but also a whole group of people who are obsessed with Yun.

After careful observation, she found that only one person was indifferent, and that person was her rival Shui Furong.

Humph, this Shui Furong has quite a lot of self-control. I don't know if she is pretending or if she really has no interest in handsome men.

Ji Anni was secretly despising Shui Furong when she heard Aunt Yang say, "Originally, according to the imperial decree, Concubine Zhao should be punished for being late for training. But now that the Imperial Master has asked for mercy, and Concubine Zhao is also a first-time offender...forgive her this time."

When she heard that she was spared, Ji Anni was so happy that she almost cried out. She thought that Yun Zhen was still very respectable. As long as Yun Zhen showed up and gave her a little flirtation, all the problems would be solved. Alas... it's good to be a beauty, it's so convenient.

Just as I was thinking about it, Yun Zhen gently pinched my shoulder.

The next second, Yun Zhen's voice came from above: "Why don't you thank the two aunts quickly."

Ji Anni hurriedly said, "Thank you, auntie. Thank you, auntie."

She thanked them repeatedly, but she felt a little strange in her heart. The status of a concubine should be higher than that of a palace maid, so why did these palace maids seem to be more powerful than a concubine and dare to accept the concubine's thanks? Just when she was feeling strange, she heard Yun Zhen say, "My two aunts, Yun Zhen has a few words to tell Concubine Zhao, can you spare some time?"

The two aunts nodded, so Yun Zhen pulled Ji Anni aside and whispered in her ear.

"Why did you come just now?"

"Didn't I sleep?"

"You've been in the palace for less than a day, how come you're getting into so much trouble?" It seems that Yun Zhen has heard about what happened last night.

"It's because the time was too short and I wasn't familiar with the environment that I got into trouble. Once I get used to it, it will be fine, right?"

"I'm afraid that by the time you get used to it, your head will have fallen off. Do you know how worried Guibaofei was about what happened last night?"

"I know I've let her down... I've already promised her that I won't fight with the princess."

"It's good that you know. Also, why are you dressed like this, with your hair all messed up?"

"How can my hair be messy? I have it in a ponytail, right?" Ji Anni said as she held her ponytail in her hand and waved it at Yun Zhen.

"Before you go out next time, you must take good care of yourself." Yun Zhencai didn't have the leisure to joke with Ji Anni. His voice was low and sounded very serious.

Ji Anni couldn't laugh anymore, so she just nodded and answered obediently, "I know."

"It's good to know, but remember not to make the same mistake again."

"Okay, okay, don't worry. I may be impulsive, but I'm not stupid. I know what to do."

Ji Anni patted her chest and promised.

Yun Zhen glared at her and said, "You need to change this action. It's too indecent."

"Why is it indecent? Then teach me what to do?" Ji Anni liked talking to Yun Zhen and liked listening to his voice.

Yun Zhen said, "You still have a lot of problems. You should learn from your aunt. They received the 'Imperial Bamboo Whip' from the Queen Mother. If you concubines are disobedient and don't practice well, they have the right to use the bamboo whip to beat you."

As he spoke, he pointed to two bamboo whips placed on a chair in the corner.

Ji Anni then understood why the two aunts dared to accept her thanks, because they were all ordered by the Queen Mother to train the concubine. If the concubine did something wrong, they had enough power to punish her. If Yun Zhen had not appeared just now, Ji Anni must have been whipped a few times, right?

"Anyway, remember not to get into trouble. I'll come see you again tonight and tell you some things you must pay attention to."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. Ji Anni called out to him in a low voice, "Can't you stay and accompany me a little longer? I'm afraid I'll make a mistake and get beaten... No one will plead for me..."

"I have something else to do." Yun Zhen had no intention of staying.

"What's the matter?" Ji Anni insisted on getting to the bottom of it.

"Princess Baogui has a headache."

"Oh..." Ji Anni replied softly, thinking that headaches should be treated by the imperial physician. Suddenly, she remembered another question and asked hurriedly, "Does Concubine Baogui... know about me? That is, I am not Zhaoji, it is Ji Anni's business..."

Yun Zhen shook his head and replied, "I don't know yet."

At that moment, Ji Anni suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart, and it was a little sweet. Because there was a secret between her and Yun Zhen that Baogui Fei didn't know. This made Ji Anni a little proud.

But that trace of pride was quickly shattered by Yun Zhen's next words.

Yun Zhen said, "If your true identity is discovered one day, it will most likely be a capital crime. At that time, neither you nor I will be able to escape death. If Concubine Baogui knows your secret, she might also be implicated. So I thought about it for a long time last night and decided to keep it secret from her."

After all, Yun Zhen still considered Concubine Baogui more.

Ji Anni didn't want to be jealous, but she couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart.
