Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 7: First Visit to the Palace

Amid the crisp sound of horse hooves, the magnificent imperial palace finally appeared before Ji Anni's eyes.

There are three gates in front of the palace. The middle gate is the largest, and the guards standing in two neat rows, wearing golden armor and holding real weapons. There are two small gates on both sides of the big gate in the middle, each guarded by a team of guards, not as solemn as the main gate.

Yun Zhen told Ji Anni that the three gates were called "Heaven Gate", "Earth Gate" and "Human Gate" respectively.

The Heavenly Gate was for the emperor and his ministers, the Earthly Gate was for concubines and palace maids, and the Human Gate was for other people.

Ji Anni asked, "Which door should we enter from?"

Yun Zhen smiled and said, "You are the emperor's concubine, so of course you should pass through the underground gate."

As he was talking, Xiao Shunzi drove the carriage to the entrance of the underground gate. He had a brief conversation with the guard at the gate, handed over his entry card, and was allowed to pass.

As soon as she entered the city gate, Ji Anni took a deep breath and really wanted to shout. Oh my god, I can't believe she has already entered the palace.

From now on, she is a concubine.

Ji Anni was so excited that she forgot that there were monsters in the palace who wanted to kill her. She pinched her thighs hard. It hurts... It's not a dream, this is real... This is actually real!

When Ji Anni agreed to Yun Zhen's entry into the palace, she had no idea what "entering the palace" meant. To her, it was just an abstract word. But now, when she actually came to the palace and breathed the air in the palace, she finally felt the reality of entering the palace.

The carriage turned a few corners and continued along a quiet river.

The river water was sparkling, the river bank was covered with green grass, red flowers and green willows, it was so beautiful that Ji Annie was stunned.

The palace, the palace...So this is the palace!

She was so excited that she even forgot her own name. In such a beautiful place, she really wanted to have a passionate love affair. As soon as this idea came up, Ji Anni shook her head and dispelled it. In the palace, there were either maids or eunuchs, and only the emperor was a man. Ji Anni didn't want to fall in love with the eunuchs, and she didn't plan to develop a lesbian relationship with the maids, so...

Ji Anni let out a long sigh and felt completely drained of energy.

Her eyes moved back to Yun Zhen, and she kept glancing at Yun Zhen's profile. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Yun Zhen's face was so beautiful. If she could marry... oh, no, marry a man like that, she would not hesitate to shorten her life by ten years. Ji Anni held her chin with one hand and started to be obsessed with him again. Wait... think about her own identity. She is a concubine, the wife of the emperor. Not only the wife of the emperor, but also has a five-year-old baby, um...

Whenever she thought of her husband and baby, Ji Anni felt a heavy sense of oppression.

I am still a virgin and have never even been in a relationship, so how come I have become someone else's wife and the mother of someone else's child?

It's really unfair...

Wiping away the tears that didn't even exist at the corners of her eyes, Ji Anni was completely immersed in the emotion of her own tragic fate.

Well, since it has happened, I might as well make the best of it. Maybe my husband is also a handsome man?

With a little hope, Ji Anni asked Yun Zhen curiously: "Master, how old is the emperor this year? What kind of person is he? What's his personality like? Is he handsome? Does he have smelly feet and body odor? Does he beat his wife?"

Domestic violence is a very serious problem nowadays. Although Ji Anni is agile and has excellent martial arts skills, she is afraid of being beaten by her husband.

Hearing this, Yun Zhen smiled and said, "You don't have to call me Taoist priest, just call me Yun Zhen."

His smile was like a gentle breeze blowing on Ji Anni's face, blowing her like a willow branch, and she almost floated up.

In fact, the long conversation that Ji Anni had just had sounded like an alien language to Yun Zhen, but from those alien languages, Yun Zhen vaguely guessed that Ji Anni was going to ask about the emperor's situation, so he replied, "It would be a serious crime to comment on the emperor in private, but since you don't understand anything, I can only tell you a little. The emperor's real name is 'Long Mohan', he is only 22 years old, his biological mother Huifei has passed away long ago, so he worshipped the queen mother as his adoptive mother, and then he became the emperor. He was a hostage in Qi in his early years, and fell in love with you. After he inherited the throne, he has been vacant and the position of queen has not been established. I guess he still has feelings for you. Although we can't expect the emperor to be devoted to you, he is deeply in love with you."

"Hmm..." Ji Annie stretched out her voice and nodded.

Suddenly I remembered a saying, "Women's love is loyal but not lasting, while men's love is lasting but not loyal."

In other words, a man may love you for a lifetime, but he can't "only" love you for a lifetime. They can love many people at the same time for a lifetime. It seems that this sentence still makes sense, especially when applied to the emperor.

But fortunately, the emperor is not very old, only 22 years old, and he has royal blood, so he shouldn't be that ugly, right? Moreover, he loves her very much. Ji Anni couldn't help but look forward to it. It would be nice if she could have a earth-shattering love with the emperor. No, don't do it earth-shatteringly. It will definitely cause bloodshed. Let's just live a plain life and live a peaceful life.

Ji Anni broke out in a cold sweat when she thought of the extremely cruel scenes in palace films.

God bless me, please let Ji Anni leave the same way I came in and go back the same way I came here.

Praying silently, Ji Anni made the sign of a cross on her chest.

"By the way, Yunzhen, where are we going?" Ji Anni asked while admiring the scenery outside the car.

Yun Zhen said: "Go to the West Palace."

"West Palace?" Ji Anni was stunned and thought: West Palace, West Palace... Could it be the West Palace of the "Four Palaces and Eight Courtyards"?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Yun Zhen say, "The West Palace is where Concubine Baogui lives."

"Baogui Concubine?" Ji Anni felt very confused and asked, "The first thing we did after entering the palace was not to see the emperor or the empress dowager, but to see Baogui Concubine? Why is that?"

Could it be that this precious concubine has more face than the empress dowager and the emperor? How is this possible...

Just as I was wondering, I heard Yun Zhen explain, "Although Zhao Ji was a maid of Qi before, there are still many differences between the court etiquette of Qi and the Tianyou Dynasty. I originally planned to let Zhao Ji learn the basic etiquette and change clothes from Concubine Bao before meeting the Queen Mother, but Zhao Ji was unfortunately cursed by the evil demon and died..."

Although Yun Zhen hadn't finished speaking, Ji Anni understood.

Zhao Ji still needed to go to Concubine Bao to prepare in advance, so a rookie like me who didn't know the court etiquette at all should learn it. What's more, I was still wearing the clothes from the brothel, and my hair and jewelry all gave off a strong smell of prostitution. If I went to see the Queen Mother like this, I would be scolded for no reason.

Ji Anni thanked Yun Zhen for his meticulous arrangements from the bottom of her heart. She thought this man was really nice, attentive and considerate, but it was a pity that he was a Taoist priest. She didn't know if she had a chance to pursue him. Alas... Yun Zhen was so handsome, there must be so many women pursuing him that they could fill the moat. Who was Ji Anni to count? Forget it...

What kind of person is that Concubine Bao? Yun Zhen seems to trust her very much.

And every time Yun Zhen mentioned this Concubine Bao, an ambiguous and gentle smile would always appear on his face.
