Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Ji Anni thought to herself, this palace is really strange, is it true that the higher the status of a person, the heavier the crown they wear?

The names of the two crowns, "Double Phoenix Crown" and "Phoenix Crown", indicate that the crown worn by the Empress Dowager is twice as heavy as the one worn by the Empress. The "Imperial Concubine Crown" worn by Concubine Baogui looks heavy enough, and I can't imagine how heavy the Empress Dowager's "Double Phoenix Crown" would be.

Ji Anni sighed.

At this time, Concubine Baogui came back, holding a folded dress in her hands. Concubine Baogui spread the dress in front of Ji Anni, and a goose yellow long dress appeared in front of Ji Anni. The lace on the collar of the top was dark yellow and black, which made it look very dignified. It was very suitable for Concubine Baogui. It must be Concubine Baogui's own dress, Ji Anni thought.

At this time, Baogui Fei jokingly made a gesture to Yun Zhen, "Please step aside and change clothes."

Yun Zhen gave a dry laugh and walked out obediently.

This scene allowed Ji Anni to see another side of Concubine Baogui besides her enthusiasm and dignity. Unlike the serious appearance of the Concubine in her imagination, the gesture of Concubine Baogui spreading her hands towards Yun Zhen and the mischievous expression she showed for a moment did not look like a Concubine at all, but rather like an innocent little girl.

And Yun Zhen's dry smile also contained a hint of doting.

Ji Anni felt that the relationship between Concubine Baogui and Yun Zhen was very subtle. It was not like that of an ordinary concubine and a minister, but more like old friends who had known each other for many years. It was possible that they were even closer than old friends.

Just as she was thinking about it, Concubine Baogui pulled Ji Anni to change her clothes.

Ji Anni never dreamed that a commoner like her would have the day when the imperial concubine would personally change her clothes.

I was so moved that I wanted to cry and so happy that I almost flew.

Before Ji Anni could finish being moved, her clothes were already put on.

Concubine Baogui brought a mirror to Ji Anni and said, "Sister, you have a good figure and you wear my old clothes so well. After seeing you wearing this dress, I feel ashamed. I am afraid I will never have the courage to wear this dress again. Well, if you don't mind, I will give this dress to you."

Give it to me?

Ji Anni was so surprised that she wanted to scream, but under the gentle gaze of Concubine Baogui, she couldn't make any sound and just blushed slightly.

Although Ji Anni is not very good at distinguishing the quality of clothes, she can tell from the feeling of wearing this dress that the texture, workmanship and design are definitely worthy of the status of "imperial concubine". And it is not old at all, it is almost as new as if it was just made. Those words like "it's old, I dare not wear it" are just excuses that the precious concubine made to make Ji Anni accept this gift.

Ji Anni was suddenly very touched. She didn't expect to meet such a nice person on her first day in the palace.

I thought that after traveling through time and space, I would have no relatives, but now Ji Anni was so warmed by Concubine Baogui's kindness that she wanted to throw herself into her arms and shout, "Sister, please accept my greeting. If you need me to help you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me to do it."

At this time, Concubine Baogui took Ji Anni's hand again and brought her to the dressing table. She gently pressed Ji Anni's shoulder and motioned for her to sit down.

There was a bronze mirror in front of Ji Anni. Looking at the half-familiar but unfamiliar face in the mirror, it took her several seconds to realize that the person was herself. In fact, strictly speaking, it was not herself, but the face of the original owner of the body she was currently staying in.

At this time, Concubine Baogui said, "My dear sister, you can't dress like this to see the Queen Mother. Let me help you put your hair in a bun again."

As he said this, he let down Ji Anni's hair.

Looking at her black hair in the mirror, which was smoother than any shampoo advertisement on TV, Ji Anni couldn't help but sigh in her heart: I don't know what brand of shampoo Zhao Ji used before, but she actually took such good care of her hair. Alas... It's a pity that she died too early, otherwise I would definitely ask her for advice.

Concubine Baogui had skillful hands and she combed Ji Anni's hair in just a short while.

Looking at her new self in the mirror, Ji Anni couldn't help but be amazed. She didn't know whether to admire Zhao Ji's beauty or Baogui Fei's superb hair bun skills. Well... I should admire both aspects, because they complement each other.

At this time, Concubine Baogui put her hand on Ji Anni's shoulder, looked at Ji Anni in the mirror and said, "Sister, your skin is crystal clear, you are really as beautiful as jade. I always heard people praise 'beauty as jade' before, and I thought it was a bit exaggerated. Today, after seeing you, I know that there are really women in this world who deserve the four words 'beauty as jade'. Sister, wait a moment, I will go get a jade hairpin."

Saying that, he turned around and left.

Before Ji Anni could even say "I dare not trouble Your Majesty" to be polite, Baogui Fei disappeared without a trace.

As soon as Concubine Baogui left, Yun Zhen walked in again.

Ji Anni was still sitting in front of the dressing mirror at this time. When she saw Yun Zhen's reflection in the mirror, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed and did not dare to turn around and face him.

If it was my old self, if it was any other man, Ji Anni would definitely walk over carelessly, tap the man on the shoulder, and ask like a gangster: "Do you think this dress looks good on me?"

But now, for some reason, Ji Anni was so embarrassed that she couldn't say anything.

This isn't the original her. What happened to her?

Ji Anni didn't dare to look back, so she kept her back to Yun Zhen, pretending that she didn't know he was standing behind her, waiting for Yun Zhen to make a sound. But Yun Zhen still said nothing, standing quietly behind Ji Anni, as hard as Qin Shihuang's Terracotta Warriors.

At this time, another sound of footsteps was heard. It was Concubine Baogui who came back with the jade hairpin.

Concubine Baogui came behind Yun Zhen and jokingly asked, "Yun Zhen, are you so surprised by your sister's beauty that you are speechless?"

As he said this, he came to Ji Anni and inserted a jade hairpin diagonally into her bun.

While inserting the jade hairpin, she said to Yun Zhen: "When my sister puts on this jade hairpin, she will be even more beautiful and will astound you."

Ji Anni looked at the jade hairpin in her hair in the mirror. The hairpin was very delicate, like a branch of peach blossom. The head of the hairpin was shaped like five or six peach blossoms, and the tail of the hairpin was a peach branch. The petals and branches were integrated. The color of the jade hairpin was pink, which looked even more like peach blossom. Inserting the hairpin into the bun was like inserting a branch of peach blossom in the hair.

After inserting the hairpin, Concubine Baogui looked at Ji Anni, nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Sister, this hairpin and you are a perfect match. I'll just give it to you as a gift."

Before Ji Anni could say thank you, Concubine Baogui pulled her in front of Yun Zhen.

Baogui Fei happily asked Yun Zhen, "How is it, Yun Zhen, pretty, right?"

Yun Zhen nodded, still with a faint smile on his face, and whispered, "Beautiful."

Ji Anni was not happy at all when she heard Yun Zhen's compliment of "beautiful". Because Yun Zhen's eyes were always on the jade hairpin in her hair, and he didn't even look at her. So Ji Anni didn't know whether Yun Zhen's "beautiful" just now was a compliment to her, the hairpin, or the craftsmanship of Baogui Fei.

Forget it...

Ji Anni sighed in her heart and thought, this face is not hers now anyway, so there is nothing to be happy about even if Yun Zhen praises her for being beautiful.
