Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Time was unbearable. Ji Anni's eyelids had begun to fight each other. She closed her eyes and counted silently.

The rain was getting heavier, and Ji Anni's clothes were completely soaked. The rain flowed down her hair, and her face and neck were also full of water like small rivers.

It’s so cold…

Ji Anni shuddered, she couldn't hold on any longer. She touched her forehead and found that the temperature was normal. She sighed softly in self-mockery, thinking that her body was really made of iron. She didn't even have a fever after being in the rain for so long.

Because she was too strong, when she wanted to take a sick leave at school, the teachers always looked at her with suspicion, as if they suspected she was faking illness. So sometimes Ji Anni thought that girls should be more delicate and lovable, like Baogui Fei and Yizhen, who were the type that people wanted to love.

Her mind was full of thoughts and she couldn't even count. Her thoughts were so chaotic that she couldn't remember how many times she had counted, but she hadn't even reached a hundred.

Suddenly, the rain above my head seemed to become lighter.

Huh? Did the rain stop?

Ji Anni looked up curiously and saw an umbrella above her head.

Following the hand holding the umbrella, Ji Anni actually saw a white figure standing beside her. Although it was pitch black all around, the figure's silver hair became the brightest light in the night, shining brightly, as if a god had descended from the sky.

Ji Anni stared at him in a trance. She was stunned for a long time before she called out stupidly, "Yun Zhen..."

Yun Zhen smiled at her, still so gentle, then squatted down and said to Ji Anni, "It's raining so hard, how long are you going to kneel? Go back quickly."

"No, I will kneel until the moon is at its highest point in the sky." He had already kneeled for a whole day and absolutely could not give up at the last moment.

Yun Zhen raised his chin and said, "Look, the sky is full of dark clouds, how can you see the moon? Maybe the moon has already risen to the middle of the sky, but you are still kneeling here."

Ji Anni looked up and saw that the sky was full of dark clouds, and there was no trace of the moon.

"Get up." Yun Zhen said softly.

Ji Annie nodded, wiped the rain off her face, and was about to stand up, but her legs were already numb and could not support the weight of her body. She could not stand at all and fell diagonally towards Yun Zhen.

Yun Zhen reflexively reached out and hugged Ji Anni.

So the next second, Ji Anni was held in Yun Zhen's arms in a daze.

It's a little unbelievable, but when Yun Zhen hugged her like this, Ji Anni forgot all the pain and tiredness she had just experienced, and her heart was beating "thump, thump" non-stop, as if it was going to jump out of her mouth.

I swear to God, she didn't throw herself into his arms on purpose. This was definitely a sweet accident.

"Are you okay? Can you still walk?" Yun Zhen's soft and pleasant voice sounded beside Ji Anni's ears.

Ji Anni was afraid that she would die from tachycardia, so she pushed Yun Zhen hastily, kept some distance from him and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine, isn't it just a punishment to kneel? I'm not afraid... I, I'm best at kneeling... When I was a child, I got into trouble at home and was punished to kneel on a washboard... Do you know what a washboard is? A washboard is..."

Before he finished speaking, Yun Zhen handed the umbrella handle to Ji Anni.

Ji Anni subconsciously grabbed the umbrella, but before she could react, Yun Zhen picked her up horizontally.

Although Yun Zhen looks very thin, he is still quite strong. After picking up Ji Annie, his legs were still standing straight.

"Ah..." Ji Anni couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise and struggled to jump down.

But Yun Zhen said softly above her head: "My Lady, don't move. I won't be responsible if you fall."

This was the first time that Ji Anni was held in the arms of a gorgeous man. She was so nervous that she didn't know where to look. She had to lower her head and said blushingly, "Put me down... I am a concubine now. You are committing an insubordination by holding me like this."

Yun Zhen said: "The Concubine's legs are injured. If I don't hold you, I will be guilty of an unforgivable crime."

"But, but..." Although Ji Annie was stubborn, she was actually very sweet in her heart.

"Hold the umbrella well." Yun Zhen said as he walked forward holding Ji Annie.

After leaving Renhe Hall, walk eastward along the Qinglan River from the Concubine Hall.

It was late at night, and the rain was pouring down. There was no one on the road at all. The guards who were patrolling the palace probably hid away from the rain and were lazy, right?

Ji Anni was a little worried that other people would see her being held by Yun Zhen and that some unpleasant rumors would spread, but fortunately, she didn't run into any living people along the way. At most, she only saw a few little frogs jumping around on the road.

After being picked up by Yun Zhen, Ji Anni was so nervous that she didn't even dare to breathe. She could only hear her heart beating "thump, thump". Yun Zhen didn't say anything, but just held Ji Anni and walked forward quietly.

The sound of rain splashing in my ears seemed to have disappeared, and the world seemed to have become as small as an umbrella.

But in this small world under the umbrella, Ji Annie has created a paradise.

Being in it, I feel an indescribable happiness.

I really wish the road leading to Concubine's Palace could be farther and farther...

In this way, Yun Zhen could hold her longer and enjoy this little happiness longer.

"Yun Zhen..." Ji Anni felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she took the initiative to find a topic, "You said that I have been in the palace for two days, why haven't the monsters attacked me yet?"

Yun Zhen said, "I said that when I fought with that monster, both of us were injured. My magic power has not yet recovered, and the monster's magic power has certainly not recovered either. He is probably still hiding in the palace to recuperate, and when his magic power is restored, he will attack you."

After hearing this, I thought Ji Anni would be scared. But who knew that Ji Anni didn't care about when she would be attacked by the monster, but was more worried about Yun Zhen's injury. She wanted to jump out of Yun Zhen's arms and shouted, "Oh no, I forgot you are still injured, put me down... I can still walk..."

Yun Zhen did not let go of Ji Anni, but said: "It was my magic power that was damaged, and the minor injuries on my body have long been healed."

"Really?" Ji Anni was a little unconvinced. At that time, Yun Zhen's body was covered with a large area of ​​blood.

"Of course it's true, otherwise how could I carry you for such a long distance?" Yun Zhen smiled at Ji Anni.

When he smiled, Ji Anni also became happy.

Her face was still covered in rain and tears, but the smile on her lips was the sweetest.

Sure enough, Yun Zhen was the best medicine for Ji Anni. No matter what kind of suffering or anger she had, as long as Yun Zhen said a few words to her and let her see his smiling face, Ji Anni's mood would suddenly become comfortable and she would forget all the unhappy things.

"Oh, right." Yun Zhen suddenly said, "It seems that Concubine Baogui misses you a lot. If you have time, go to the West Palace to see her. She said that she was forced to slap you twice at the Queen Mother's banquet that day. She was afraid that you would be angry, so she didn't dare to come to see you."

"What?" Ji Anni was surprised, "She really thinks so?"

Ji Anni understood that the two slaps that Concubine Baogui gave her were meant to save her, and she didn't take it to heart at all. Not only did she not resent Concubine Baogui, she was even grateful to her. She didn't expect that Concubine Baogui would actually feel guilty about this matter.

At this time, Yun Zhen's voice sounded again: "Princess Baogui has always been in poor health and doesn't have many friends in the palace... Madam, if you have time, go visit her often and talk to her. She seems to like you very much and often mentions you in front of me..."

After hearing this, Ji Anni responded softly. She noticed that Yun Zhen's expression seemed to have some subtle changes.

In fact, Ji Anni had already discovered that whenever Yun Zhen mentioned Baogui Concubine, his expression became particularly gentle.

That kind of tenderness made Ji Anni feel a little tight in her heart.

Because she knew that Yun Zhen's gentle smile belonged only to Baogui Fei... and would never belong to her.

Baogui Fei must be special in Yun Zhen's heart... just like Yun Zhen is special in her heart...

But it doesn’t matter. If her love rival is Concubine Baogui, Ji Anni will be willing to admit defeat.

Ji Anni gently leaned her head on Yun Zhen's shoulder, thinking with a slight sense of guilt: Empress Bao, I'm sorry... Can I borrow Yun Zhen's tenderness for a while?

I think... I really like Yun Zhen a little bit...

But I won't compete with you for him. I just secretly like him and watch him secretly... As long as I can often hear him talk, as long as I can often see him... I will be satisfied...

In this case, you won’t blame me, right?

The rain was still falling... but the sound was not as loud as before...

The world gradually quieted down...

Ji Anni slowly closed her eyes, hiding in this little paradise under the umbrella, enjoying the warmth brought to her by Yun Zhen. How nice it would be if there was no Queen Mother, no Princess Tianning, no one who made her angry, and only one Yun Zhen.

But umbrellas are used to protect against rain, and if the rain stops, the umbrella must be put away.

The rain will not fall forever, just like Ji Anni will not cry forever.

No matter it is windy or rainy, the sky will always clear up one day.

Ji Anni knew that she had to calm down as soon as possible and let her sky clear up sooner. Even if she was still greedy for the tenderness under the umbrella, she hoped to see the clear sky sooner rather than hiding under the umbrella that Yun Zhen opened for her.
