Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

"Brother Xiaorong, do you think I look good dressed like this?" Princess Tianning turned around in front of Kang Xiaorong.

Kang Xiaorong said: "The princess is naturally beautiful, and she looks good in anything she wears."

"Fang Ting has already said this..." Princess Tianning pouted unhappily, "As expected, brother and sister are of the same mind, even saying the same thing."

Kang Xiaorong and Kang Fangting looked at each other and both smiled awkwardly.

At this time, Kang Fangting noticed Ji Anni standing beside her, and walked up to her and asked, "Why is Concubine Zhao wearing a riding and archery uniform? Is Concubine Zhao also going to participate in today's hunting meeting?"

"This princess brought her here." Tian Ning hurriedly said.

Hearing this, Kang Xiaorong also stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "So you are Tianning's friend. My last name is Kang and my given name is Xiaorong. I am Fangting's brother."

Judging from the way Kang Xiaorong introduced her, he probably thought Ji Anni was Tianning and Concubine Kang’s best friend.

"She is not my friend." Tian Ning stomped his feet and started to act unhappy again.

Concubine Kang introduced her to her brother: "This is Concubine Zhao Cong, who has just entered the palace, and the mother of Prince Ming."

Ji Anni then realized that her son's name was "Prince Ming". She couldn't help but think of Concubine An's reproaches in the West Palace yesterday. It turned out that she was right. As a mother, she not only didn't visit her own son, but she didn't even know his name. She was really shocked.

"It turned out to be Princess So Congfei." Kang Xiaorong showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. It seemed that he had heard of So Ji's name a long time ago.

Ji Anni returned the greeting without saying much, but she was still a little nervous facing the shiny handsome guy.

"Brother Xiaorong, please help me pick a horse." Princess Tianning jumped over, took Kang Xiaorong's arm and pulled him out.

"Princess, slow down, slow down..." Kang Xiaorong knew Tianning's temper well, and didn't dare to make the princess angry, so he had to follow her out. From the helpless smile on Kang Xiaorong's face, it seemed that he didn't have any special feelings for Tianning. His accommodation to Tianning was simply to complete the task. Ji Anni sighed in her heart, thinking that Princess Tianning's love affair must not be going well.

After Tian Ning took Kang Xiaorong away, only Concubine Kang and Ji Anni were left in the warehouse.

The two had nothing to talk about, so they just looked at each other and smiled.

To be honest, Ji Anni had a good impression of Concubine Kang. Although Concubine Kang was not as gentle and virtuous as Concubine Baogui, she had a heroic look between her eyebrows, and she felt a bit like a heroine. Ji Anni was also a righteous and straightforward person, so when she saw Concubine Kang, she smelled a kindred spirit. However, Concubine Kang was on good terms with Princess Tianning, which made Ji Anni give her a negative score. As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." Could it be that Concubine Kang was just straightforward on the surface, but actually as rude and unreasonable as Tianning? Ji Anni still had a little doubt in her heart.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Concubine Kang coming up to me and said warmly, "Concubine Zhao, why don't we go choose horses too?"

Ji Anni quickly returned to reality from her thinking state, nodded and responded: "Okay, please lead the way, Concubine Kang."

***

When the two arrived at the Imperial Courtyard, Princess Tianning and Kang Xiaorong had been choosing for a long time, but their postures were a bit strange. Princess Tianning supported Kang Xiaorong, while Kang Xiaorong tightly covered his right arm, with a painful expression on his face, as if he was injured.

Seeing this, Kang Fangting stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No problem." Kang Xiaorong smiled back, drawing everyone's attention to the horse and said, "What do you think of this chestnut horse Pei Tianning?"

The red horse was specially chosen by Kang Xiaorong for Tianning. The horse was not tall, but its limbs looked very strong. Especially when the horse raised its head and stepped on its hooves, it really showed the posture of a hero among horses. It was a perfect match for Tianning, and Kang Fangting also praised it highly.

Ji Annie walked around the Imperial Horse Courtyard several times and thought every horse looked good, so she didn't know how to choose.

Although she is good at martial arts and archery, to be honest, she has never ridden a horse before. She only rode a horse symbolically at a tourist ranch in Inner Mongolia when she traveled with her parents three years ago. However, three years have passed, and the feeling at that time is very vague. I don’t know if I can still ride a horse now.

Seeing the worried look on Ji Anni's face, Tian Ning immediately became proud and said sarcastically: "Why? The famous Concubine Zhao Cong...could it be that she can't ride a horse?"

"Famous?" Ji Anni thought that no matter how famous she was, she could not be more famous than Princess Tianning.

At this time, Kang Xiaorong stepped forward and said, "Princess Zhao Congfei, why don't you try this horse. It has the most docile temperament and has never thrown anyone. It also runs fast and has won good places in several horse races held in the past."

Looking in the direction of Kang Xiaorong's finger, Ji Anni saw a tall black horse.

The horse was full of vigor and vitality, and even if it was mixed in with the other horses, it could instantly attract people's attention. Although Ji Anni didn't know much about horses, she could tell at a glance that this horse was indeed a rare good horse. Okay, this is it.

Just as he made the decision, he heard Tianning yelling, "No, Unnie is Fantine's horse, how can she ride it!"

Only then did Ji Anni realize that the horse was named "Wuni" and already had an owner, Concubine Kang, Kang Fangting.

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take away what others like. Besides, Ji Anni did not want to argue with Tian Ning, so she declined and said, "Let's choose something else."

But at this time, Kang Fangting came forward and said with a bright smile, "It doesn't matter. Since Concubine Zhao is not familiar with horsemanship, it seems that the safest choice is Wunie, because Wunie has a good temper, especially gentle to women. When riding on its back, you don't have to worry about falling off. It is a famous gentleman among horses."

As he said this, he took the reins and handed them to Ji Annie.

Ji Anni didn't have time to refuse and had already grasped the reins in her hands.

"No!" Princess Tianning was a little angry. She snatched the reins from Ji Anni and gave them back to Kang Fangting, "Fangting, Unie is obviously your horse, why do you want to give it to someone else? Unie will be sad if you do this. Besides, I like to see Fantine riding on Unie's back. She is so heroic and charming, not inferior to a man at all. Therefore, only Unie is worthy of Fantine, no other horse will do."

Ji Anni thought, it seems that Princess Tianning not only likes Kang Xiaorong, but also Kang Fangting.

A closer look revealed that the two brothers and sisters of the Kang family had a touch of handsomeness between their eyebrows, and they were indeed the children of a great general, and their movements were quite cool. Maybe they themselves did not realize it, but their every move was like a movie in the eyes of others, as if even their walking was accompanied by a gust of wind.

To be honest, Ji Anni also liked them very much. Especially when they took the initiative to give Unyema to her, she was even more moved by their spirit. But Tian Ning was a difficult person to deal with and always opposed Ji Anni.

"Okay, Tianning." Seeing Tianning pouting and stamping her feet, Concubine Kang advised, "It doesn't matter what horse I ride. The emperor will also be watching the hunting meeting today, and Concubine Zhao Cong is your honored guest. Do you want to see her fall off the horse?"

"Of course I don't want to..." Tianning said in a low voice.

Zhao Ji was her invited guest, and she begged the emperor for a long time before he agreed. If Zhao Ji fell off her horse in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, she, the princess who acted as the recommender, would also lose face.

"That's right." Seeing this, Kang Fangting smiled, handed the reins back to Ji Anni and said, "Princess Zhao Cong, I'll give it to you today. I hope it can help you shine in today's hunting meeting."

Ji Anni could not refuse any more, so she accepted Concubine Kang's kindness and said with a smile, "Thank you Concubine Kang for giving up your love."
