Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

The square was empty, everyone had left, leaving only Ji Anni kneeling on the ground.

You can hear a few birds singing overhead, and Ji Anni kills her boredom by listening to the birds singing.

After kneeling past the hottest time of the noon sun, Ji Anni had become numb from kneeling. Before she knew it, the sun had already hung obliquely in the western sky, coating the sky with a warm orange-red color.

Ji Anni sighed in her heart.

I thought I would kneel until the moon was at its highest point in the sky, and I didn't know how long it would take. I was hungry, and my eyes were blurry. Thinking carefully, I had never had a good meal since I came to this world. The most satisfying meal I had was probably the night I first met Yizhen, when I ate the local specialties from my hometown that Yizhen brought me, right?

Just as I was thinking about it, a voice suddenly came from behind me: "Empress Consort..."

Ji Anni was startled and turned her head to see a smiling little guard standing behind her.

The young guard was not very old, probably only about 17 or 18 years old. The guard uniform he was wearing was too big for him. Probably because of his young age, his skin was white and tender. He didn't look like a guard, but more like a young eunuch. In modern terms, he was a very typical young handsome guy.

Seeing the little guard's smiling face, Ji Anni didn't want to show him a bad face, so she smiled back and asked, "What's the matter?"

The young guard squatted down beside Ji Anni and said, "My Lady Consort, I just saw you deal with the princess like a female knight."

"Heroine?" Ji Anni was stunned. What a familiar name. Before she traveled through time, when she was still in her original world, her friends often jokingly called her that.

Heroine... Heroine...

Although it is familiar, it also feels a little distant.

It has been a long time since I heard someone call me that. People here either call me "Concubine Consort" or "Concubine Zhao". The only one who calls me more intimately is "Xiao Zhao". But... for Ji Anni, those are not her real names. She is "Ji Anni"... "Ji Anni"...

She sighed softly. The three words "Ji Anni" suddenly seemed like a lifetime ago to her.

She still remembered that when she just decided to enter the palace, Yun Zhen told her very solemnly: "There is no Ji Anni in this world, there is only one Zhao Ji." That's right, there is only one Zhao Ji... and she is Zhao Ji.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Ji Anni in a daze, the young guard hurriedly waved his hand in front of Ji Anni's eyes.

Ji Anni thought the little guard was quite interesting, so she glared at him and said angrily, "Little guard, aren't you afraid that I'll get angry?"

"No worries." The little guard answered without thinking, "Female warriors in the martial arts world are never fussy about small matters. Your Majesty is also a female warrior, so she won't be angry with a servant for such a small matter."

"Hmph, this mouth must have been corrupted in the palace." He only knows how to flatter people and praise them.

"Your Highness," the little guard whispered, "I wonder how many people were applauding you in their hearts when you taught Princess Tianning a lesson just now. Now everyone in our team is secretly talking about you, saying that you have the demeanor of a chivalrous woman, which is amazing."

The young guard looked excited, but Ji Anni was not interested at all. She slumped her shoulders and said, "I would rather not be a chivalrous woman... If you don't show up, you will be beheaded."

Having said that, just by hearing the word "female chivalrous man", Ji An Ning suddenly found her own existence...

Finally, someone saw his own existence through Soji, and saw... his own soul residing in Soji's body.

At that moment, Ji An Ning finally realized that he was still alive.

He does not live in So Ji's body, but in the eyes of this little guard.

Suddenly I felt so moved that I lowered my head and tears started flowing again.

The young guard didn't know what he had said to make Ji Anni sad, and he was so anxious that he was in a panic, and he kept persuading her: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Don't cry. Did I say something wrong?... If I have done anything to make you angry, you can beat me, just beat me hard... You must not cry..."

Seeing him so panicked, Ji Anni sniffed, with tears in her eyes, and actually laughed.

Ji Anni's smile made the little guard even more nervous. He opened his eyes wide and said, "My lady, are you going crazy because of your servant?"

Ji Anni wiped her tears and asked, "You are quite interesting, little guard. What is your name?"

"My name is Lai De. It means 'virtue comes naturally'."

Good deeds come naturally. Not only is he an interesting person, but his name is also interesting. After talking to him, Ji Anni's originally depressed mood improved a little, so the two of them started chatting. Ji Anni asked, "By the way, did you just say that I look like a chivalrous woman?"

"Yes." The little guard nodded hurriedly, with an extremely excited expression on his face. He even gestured with his fists twice and said, "Just like those chivalrous and generous female heroes in the martial arts world, who come and go without a trace, fighting against violence and protecting the good."

I don’t know if there are any martial arts novels in the God-Blessing Dynasty. If there are, Ji Anni is sure that this little guard Lai De must be a martial arts fan.

Ji Annie's mood gradually improved, and she smiled and said, "Little guard, can you call me 'Annie'?"

"Annie?" The little guard was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly, "I dare not."

"Why are you afraid? Just call me when I tell you to. Only those who say I look like a female warrior can call me by this name. Little guard, you are the first person who can call me by this name."

Lai De was curious when he heard this and asked, "Could this 'Annie' be the name that the queen used to be when she was a chivalrous hero in the martial arts world?"

"Don't ask so many questions, just call me." Ji Anni glared at him.

"Well, your servant... your servant is going to scream." As he said this, he took a deep breath and stared at Ji Anni seriously, as if he was a priest standing on the altar praying to God. His look was so serious that Ji Anni couldn't help but want to laugh.

But before Ji Anni could laugh, she heard a soft voice calling, "Anni..."

At that moment, Ji Anni's smile froze on her face. She should have been happy, but for some reason, after hearing Lai De's "Annie", she felt not sweet but sour. She took a breath, and tears flowed out like the Yellow River bursting its banks.

"Oh, my lady, why are you crying again... Is it because my cry was not pleasant to hear? I will call you again, Annie... Annie..."

Who knew that the more Lai De shouted, the harder Ji Anni cried.

Finally, she raised her head with tears in her eyes, took Lai De's hand and said, "Lai De, can you let me hug you?"

“This…this…”

Before Lai De could refuse, Ji Anni threw herself into Lai De's arms and burst into tears.

Lai De raised his hands obediently and let Jianni hold him, not knowing what to do. If Lai De was a woman, she could still shout "molest", but unfortunately he was a man and did not have the right to shout "molest".

Ji Anni cried for more than ten minutes. When she was tired, her tears dried up, and her voice became softer, she let go of Lai De, wiped her face and said, "Okay, Lai De, thank you, you can go now."

"Oh..." Lai De stood up in a daze, not knowing what had happened. He thought to himself why this Concubine was so strange, she started crying when he called her a few times, and then she asked him to leave after she finished crying.

Lai De took two steps and stopped, then took two steps and stopped, looking at Ji Anni worriedly.

Suddenly, Ji Anni called him, "Laide."

"Yes." Lai De trembled with fear.

Ji Anni smiled at him and said in a voice that the other party could just hear: "Thank you."

"..." Lai De instantly turned into a fossil.

"Thank you..." Ji Anni said again.

Thank you so much... Lai De, it's you who made me rediscover that I am still alive. I am not Soji, not a dead person... I am still Ji Anni... I am still living in Soji's body... I am living in the eyes of all those who can see Ji Anni through Soji's body.

Since you are alive, you cannot admit defeat; since you are alive, you cannot just think about death...

Looking up at the sky above, it is still as blue as ever.

Ji Anni suddenly understood that as long as her eyes were washed with tears, she would be able to see a bluer sky.
