Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

"Yanniang is here." A graceful woman in red came forward after hearing the empress dowager's call.

Yan Niang?

Ji Anni couldn't help but be stunned. Why did this name sound so familiar?

By the way, isn’t Yan Niang the female boss of “Xiang Hong Lou”?

I still remember hearing Yun Zhen mention that Yan Niang was a palace maid and even served the Queen Mother. After leaving the palace, she started a brothel. Zhao Ji made a living by performing in the brothel run by Yan Niang. It is said that Yan Niang took special care of Zhao Ji. Before Yun Zhen took Zhao Ji away, he even said goodbye to her.

Yan Niang also left a message for Ji Anni, telling her not to belittle herself when she is frustrated, and to remember to forgive others when she is successful.

It was because of this sentence that Ji Anni had a good first impression of Yan Niang.

But what they never expected was that Yan Niang also entered the palace, and was invited by the Queen Mother to be their aunt.

Ji Anni couldn't accept it for a moment and stared at Yan Niang.

She had been thinking, "Maybe it's just a coincidence that we have the same name?", but that fantasy was completely shattered after she saw Yan Niang's face clearly. Because the Yan Niang who appeared in front of Ji Anni was exactly the Yan Niang she had seen in "Xiang Honglou" that day.

The face is exactly the same as before, but the clothes are a little more decent, a very standard palace maid's dress. But for some reason, the clothes that are very standard for others always look a bit seductive when worn by Yan Niang. I don't know if it's because Yan Niang is used to staying in brothels that she exudes such a kind of...

Well, how should I put it? To put it nicely, it's sexy, but to put it bluntly, it's just one word...slutty.

Choosing the word "slutty" does not mean that Ji Anni looks down on Yan Niang. On the contrary, she quite admires elder sisters like Yan Niang.

However, other concubines may not share the same idea as Ji Anni. Everyone stared at Yan Niang with a bit of surprise, disgust and even contempt in their eyes.

Yan Niang's makeup was thick, which made her look a bit coquettish. But her coquettishness was not annoying, but rather revealed a special charm. In modern terms, she probably had the aura of a gangster boss. Without saying anything, just standing there was enough to make the other party surrender. This could be considered a kind of "conquering the enemy without fighting", right?

Even Ji Anni, who was so naughty, instinctively wanted to bow her head when she saw Yan Niang.

It was precisely because of Yan Niang's aura that those concubines from official families felt a little unhappy. It was as if their aura was completely occupied by this inferior Yan Niang.

Especially Shui Furong and Liu Yingying, they both showed contemptuous and unfriendly looks towards Yan Niang at this time.

Yan Niang understood all the meaning of their looks, but for Yan Niang, there was no need to bother with these juniors. So Yan Niang smiled lightly, walked forward, bowed slightly and said: "Good luck to all the ladies. Although Yan Niang's status is not as noble as yours, I have been in the palace for twenty years since I was ten years old, and I didn't leave the palace until three years ago. So Yan Niang knows all the etiquette and rules in the palace. In addition... I won't hide it from you ladies, Yan Niang makes a living by managing the girls outside the palace. Compared with the palace rules, I know how to make you obedient."

There was a hint of threat in this last sentence, as if to say that if anyone dared to disobey, she would have plenty of ways to deal with that disobedient person.

The concubines all looked dissatisfied and looked at the Queen Mother. They seemed to not understand why the Queen Mother let a female boss of a brothel to discipline them? Were they the same class as those brothel women? This was simply an insult to them.

In front of the Queen Mother, no one dared to express their dissatisfaction. The concubines just looked at each other, no one dared to say anything. Even Shui Furong and Liu Yingying, who were usually more arrogant, did not say a word.

I just don’t know whether the two of them were afraid of the Queen Mother’s majesty or intimidated by Yan Niang’s aura.

Ji Anni stood in the crowd, her expression slightly different from everyone else's. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she was in deep thought.

Three years ago... Ji Anni paid a little attention to the time that Yan Niang mentioned just now.

I just heard from Concubine Baogui yesterday that the Queen Mother was promoted from a noble concubine to the Queen three years ago. But a concubine and the little prince died one after another. Concubine Baogui was possessed by a monster, and Yun Zhen turned gray in order to get rid of the monster. Now Yan Niang has to leave the palace. Even Xiaoyao, the maid in the West Palace, seems to have only started serving Concubine Baogui three years ago.

With a little sorting, you will find that three years ago... a lot of big things really happened in this palace.

I just don’t know if there is any intrinsic connection between all these things?

At this time, the empress dowager whispered a few words to Yan Niang and left Renhe Hall, leaving only Yan Niang and thirty concubines standing in the square.

As soon as the Queen Mother left, the contempt in the concubines' eyes when they looked at Yan Niang seemed to deepen.

But Yan Niang didn't care about these, as if she had already anticipated such reactions from the concubines.

Yan Niang's gaze swept across the faces of the concubines one by one, and finally stopped on Ji Anni's face.

As soon as Ji Anni and Yan Niang looked at each other, their hearts began to beat fast and they became nervous.

At this time, Yanniang walked up to Ji Anni and said, "Sister, long time no see. How do you feel after entering the palace?"

She suddenly asked, and Ji Anni didn't know how to answer. She just lowered her head and replied woodenly, "Thank you for your concern, Zhao Ji is doing well."

Unexpectedly, Yanniang's expression changed slightly at this time. She looked at Ji Anni carefully and whispered, "I haven't seen you for a few days, sister...you seem...changed?"

Oops……

Ji Anni immediately dared not speak, having a bad feeling. Did Yanniang realize that she was not Zhaoji?

So far, Ji Anni has been so successful in pretending to be Zhao Ji because none of the people she has contacted know Zhao Ji. But now, a Yan Niang who has had contact with Zhao Ji has appeared. This Yan Niang must have discovered that she is different from the previous Zhao Ji. I just hope Yan Niang doesn't think too much, otherwise I will be miserable.

Oh, by the way, I must have a good talk with Yun Zhen when I have time to see if there is any way to get away with it...

"Sister?" Seeing Ji Anni in a daze, Yan Niang called out a few more times.

Ji Anni finally came to her senses and tried to hide her nervousness. She smiled and said, "Sister, you are worrying too much. Zhao Ji is still the same Zhao Ji as before."

However, Yan Niang whispered: "In the past, Zhao Ji always called herself 'concubine'."

God... this Yan Niang is so amazing...

Ji Anni didn't dare to speak at all, for fear of saying too much and making mistakes.

Yanniang must have noticed something unusual, but I don't know if the people in this world have advanced enough to accept time travel and soul possession. As long as Yanniang can't think of this level, Ji Anni is still safe for the time being. After all, she lives in Zhaoji's body. Although her soul is not Zhaoji, her appearance and body have retained everything of the original Zhaoji - it shouldn't be so easy to be exposed, right?

Ji Anni comforted herself while forcing herself to smile.

Yanniang just glanced at Ji Anni a few more times and didn't ask any more questions. She walked forward a few steps and announced to the other concubines, "From today on, I will be your aunt in charge, replacing the former aunts Yang and Yu. The thirty concubines in the East Concubine Palace and the West Concubine Palace will all be managed by Yanniang alone."

After this announcement, the concubines began to whisper to each other again.

A Yan Niang actually replaced both Aunt Yang and Aunt Yu. What on earth is capable of her?

Ji Anni couldn't help but become curious.
