Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

In the West Palace, Ji Anni, Yizhen and Baogui Fei were talking when they suddenly heard Xiaoyao knocking on the door.

The conversation stopped, and Guibao Concubine turned to Xiaoyao and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Yao lowered her head and said with a slightly uneasy look: "Concubine An is here..."

"Noble Concubine An?" Ji Anni, Yizhen and Baogui Concubine all called out almost at the same time.

Why did Concubine An come to visit the West Palace?

"Please welcome the noble concubine in." Concubine Baogui stood up and was about to go and greet her in person.

But who would have thought that just as she stood up, she heard footsteps outside the door. Although she couldn't see anyone yet, she could guess from the footsteps that it was Concubine An. The sound of a person walking with a proud attitude is different from that of ordinary people. It seems that Concubine An is really proud to the core. She relies on the support of the Queen Mother and steps harder than others.

The next second, Concubine An appeared at the door.

Behind Concubine An was a maidservant who was about the same age as Xiaoyao. However, she looked much more proud than Xiaoyao. Her chin was slightly raised and the smile on her lips was full of pride. Ji Anni couldn't help but think of a saying: "Like the owner, like the dog." It seemed that the maidservant next to Concubine An was not an easy person to deal with.

Seeing Concubine An walk in, Concubine Baogui immediately greeted her with a smile, bowed and said, "Sister, how come you have time to visit Baoer today?"

Ji Anni and Yizhen also stood up and followed the salute, but their expressions were unnatural. It was obvious that they were wary and uneasy about the arrival of Concubine An. Concubine Baogui was different. No matter who she was facing, she smiled warmly. Ji Anni couldn't help but sigh, this is probably the difference between entering the palace for ten years and entering the palace for ten days?

When Concubine Baogui heard Xiaoyao report that Concubine An had arrived, she could still see a trace of worry on her face. But now that Concubine An has walked into the room, that trace of worry is no longer visible on her face.

Concubine An was also an expert. She had a tense face just a second ago, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her expression immediately relaxed. She stroked Concubine Baogui's hand and said, "Sister, you don't have to be so polite. I saw that the weather has been too hot recently and you have not been in good health, so I came to visit you and have a casual chat with you."

Although her words sounded pleasant, they always sounded a bit harsh to Ji Anni's ears.

What kind of visit? It's obviously to keep in touch and gather intelligence. It seems that Concubine An and the Queen Mother's party will take action soon. I just don't know who they will deal with first... Could it be Concubine Baogui?

Ji Anni couldn't help but feel a little worried.

At this time, Concubine An also noticed the presence of Ji Anni and Yizhen, and walked up and said, "Oh, so Concubine Zhao Cong is here too. This is..." She didn't know Yizhen yet.

Concubine Baogui introduced her, "She is a concubine who has just entered the palace. She is the daughter of Nanhu County Magistrate Su, and her name is Su Yizhen."

"Oh, it's Concubine Su Congfei." Although the smile on Concubine An's face looked friendly, one could always faintly smell a hint of disdain and contempt in her words.

Ji Anni looked at Yizhen with some worry, and saw Yizhen lower her head silently.

Yizhen has always felt somewhat inferior about her family background.

However, Concubine An's attention was not focused on Yizhen, because Yizhen was not enough for her. She walked to Ji Anni and said in a friendly manner, "I didn't expect Concubine Zhao Cong to be so free today and come to the West Palace to visit Concubine Baogui."

Ji Anni said, "Today's etiquette class is on break. Zhao Ji has nothing to do, so come and sit with Sister Bao."

"Oh?" Concubine An deliberately raised her voice a little, and asked in a volume that everyone present could hear, "It turns out that Concubine Zhao Cong and Concubine Baogui have become sisters. They are so close. Concubine Zhao Cong, you have been in the palace for so long, why don't you come to my East Palace to sit once? I also have a lot of things I want to take care of you."

Go sit in your East Palace? Humph, do you think I'm just looking for trouble when I have nothing to be angry about?

Although she had already despised Concubine An in her heart, the smile on her face did not disappear. Even Ji Anni had to admire herself for being able to smile so sweetly to Concubine An.

At this time, I heard Concubine An said again: "Concubine Zhao Cong, have you forgotten...the little prince is in my East Palace?"

After hearing this, Ji Anni stopped laughing. If Concubine An hadn't mentioned it, she would have really forgotten that she had a little prince.

The little prince is now being fostered in Concubine An's East Palace.

"Concubine Zhao Congfei, the little prince cries and asks to see his mother every day. How come you, as a mother, don't seem to miss the little prince at all? If the little prince knew, he would be sad and cry..."

Ji Anni herself couldn't explain it. Yes, she was wrong in this matter. As a mother, she had been in the palace for so long, but she had never visited her prince once. It was indeed a bit unreasonable. But who made the prince not her child at all? She had no feelings for the child. There were a lot of troubles in recent days. First, Princess Tianning made trouble, and then Yan Niang entered the palace. Ji Anni was already too busy to deal with her own affairs, and she really forgot the existence of the little prince.

Seeing that Ji Anni didn't know how to answer, Concubine Baogui responded to Concubine An on her behalf, "Sister Zhaoji has been busy with trivial matters recently. When she has some free time, she will go to the East Palace to visit the little prince and greet the queen."

"Bored by trivial matters?" Concubine An snorted, "If I heard correctly, didn't she just say that she had nothing to do? If she had nothing to do, why didn't she go visit her own son instead of coming here to chat with someone?"

Concubine An's aggressiveness made Concubine Baogui look a little embarrassed. She could only speak for Ji Anni and said, "Maybe Sister Zhaoji is afraid that she will miss the little prince day and night after seeing him, so she decided not to meet him for the time being."

"But this little prince is really strange. He doesn't look like the emperor at all."

"Why do you say that, sister?"

"Why do you have to make me explain it so clearly?" Concubine An sneered and turned her gaze to Ji Anni who was bowing her head. "Does this little prince really have dragon blood flowing in his body?"

"Sister." Concubine Baogui let out a low voice, her voice becoming a little harsher, "Sister, you are going too far. Baoer didn't look like his parents when he was a child."

"Too much?" Concubine An was totally unaware. "I think Concubine Zhao Cong is a mother, but she completely ignores the little prince, which is more excessive, right?"

"Sister..." Concubine Baogui wanted to speak more but was stopped by Ji Anni.

Ji Anni realized that if she remained silent, Concubine An would continue to talk about this topic. So she took a deep breath, tried to restore her natural smile, and apologized to Concubine An: "You are right, Concubine An, it is indeed Zhao Ji who is wrong. Next time if there is a chance, Zhao Ji will definitely visit An in the East Palace."
