Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 243 3 Xiaowucai

"Mother, I heard that you were imprisoned here, so I wanted to come and see you..." Prince Ming hugged Ji Anni's arm tightly, his eyes full of concern.

"Aren't I fine?" Ji Anni wanted to pinch Prince Ming's face when she saw him. After all, he looked so much like a pet.

"Mother, I heard that you were injured..." Prince Ming carefully examined Ji Anni's body.

I didn't expect that Prince Ming was so well-informed. It seems that the incident at the Demon-Suppressing Temple that night had already spread throughout the palace.

"Be good, Ming'er, don't worry. Mother's wound has healed a long time ago." Ji Anni did not lie. In fact, she had already forgotten about the injury. However, Prince Ming and Yizhen both felt that it was a big deal, and they looked worried.

"Mother, are you really okay?" Prince Ming stared at Ji Anni with his big watery eyes without blinking.

Ji Anni was embarrassed by his gaze. Alas, as a mother, I actually made a child worry so much...

Ji Anni touched Prince Ming's head lovingly and said, "It's okay, it's really okay. By the way, where is the teacher? Isn't there class today?"

Wenhua College is a school, and it should be class time now, so why did the three beginner students all slip away?

Zhuang Xiaomeng answered first, "It's study time now." His serious expression made it seem as if he felt it was natural to sneak out during study time, without any guilt at all.

"So you just slipped out?" Without waiting for Ji Anni to ask, Shui Furong put her hands on her hips, looking like she was going to lecture him.

Zhuang Xiaomeng nodded fearlessly and said confidently, "This is not called slipping away, this is called making good use of time."

"You've made good use of your time. Do you know that if you just come here casually, we, we..." I thought he was going to say something like "We're worried that you'll get hurt", but Shui Furong said something shocking, roaring at Zhuang Xiaomeng: "...How can we hide you! If the guards outside find us, we will also be implicated by you, how innocent!"

Ji Anni jumped up, she didn't expect that Shui Furong would consider this kind of problem first.

"Well, then...then let's go back immediately..." Zhuang Xiaomeng suddenly realized her mistake.

Zhang Sun Mingri was waiting for these words. When he heard Zhuang Xiaomeng say that she was leaving, he immediately rushed over excitedly, took Prince Ming's hand and said, "Prince Ming, let's go back first. If you really want to see Concubine Zhao Cong, I will go and beg my father. As long as my father agrees, it's fine even if you want to live here."

"But Lord Changsun...he won't agree..." Prince Ming said in a low voice, as if he had been bullied.

"Ming'er, is Lord Zhangsun fierce? Has he ever made things difficult for you?" Ji Anni pulled Prince Ming's shoulders and asked carefully.

During the entrance ceremony, Ji Anni and Chang Sun Nan met.

From Chang Sunnan's attitude towards Prince Ming, it can be seen that he does not seem to like Prince Ming, a child of humble origin. And Chang Sunnan's words also hinted that he did not support making Prince Ming the crown prince.

It was not until the Ming prince wrote the poem "I look up to see tomorrow, but I don't see my parents' faces" that his gaze towards the Ming prince changed a little. From the initial indifference, he gradually warmed up and began to pay attention to the Ming prince.

"Lord Changsun is not fierce, he just likes to glare at people." Zhuang Xiaomeng said leisurely, with his hands behind his head.

"This is worse than corporal punishment. This is called mental abuse!" Ji Anni hugged Prince Ming in her arms with heartache.

Alas, a child without a mother’s love is pitiful, just like a blade of grass on the roadside.

"A strict teacher produces excellent students. Xiao Zhao, don't be so fussy." Shui Furong didn't think the matter was serious.

"Prince Ming, let's...let's go back first..." Seeing that they started chatting again, Chang Sun Mingri became anxious and wanted to carry Prince Ming on his shoulders and go back.

"Mother, I will come to see you again when I have the chance." Prince Ming reluctantly parted with Ji Anni.

"Are you going to come again? Don't come..." Chang Sun Mingri tugged at the corner of Prince Ming's clothes and gave advice in a low voice in his ear.

Ji Anni comforted Prince Ming, "Ming'er, study hard and don't worry about me. I will visit you when I have the chance."

Having said that, Ji Anni doesn't know when she will be free again.

No matter what Ji Annie said, Prince Ming believed it without a doubt. After hearing Ji Annie's promise, Prince Ming nodded heavily with emotion, and confirmed it again as if he was afraid that Ji Annie would regret it: "Mother, will you really come to see me?"

"Yes, really. Didn't mother say that she would make sesame cakes for you?" This was an agreement between Ji Anni and Prince Ming.

"Mother...it's a shortbread..." Prince Ming said in a low voice, biting his lip lightly, looking a little sad.

"Ah." Ji Anni seemed to be hit on the head by a stick, and hurriedly said, "Uh... let's make the sesame cakes and shortbread together."

It was just a slip of the tongue, a pure slip of the tongue. I hope it didn't irritate the young and fragile mind of Prince Ming.

Fortunately, Prince Ming was not sad, but laughed happily: "Mother, we will go back first."

"Well, be careful." Ji Anni opened the window for them.

Although it was difficult to climb in through the window, it was much easier to climb out. Just slide down the slope and you will land safely. And the slope was covered with weeds, so you didn't have to worry about hurting your butt.

Zhang Sun Mingri was the first to slide out of the window, followed by Prince Ming, and Zhuang Xiaomeng at the rear.

After Chang Sun Mingri landed, he waved to Prince Ming anxiously and said, "Prince Ming, come down quickly. I will catch you."

Although Changsun Nan doesn't like Prince Ming very much, Changsun Mingri, the youngest grandson, seems to have a special liking for Prince Ming. He shouldn't bully Prince Ming. In addition, Zhuang Xiaomeng is a lively child who can get along with anyone. With these two classmates accompanying him on both sides, Prince Ming will probably not encounter any big storms in his school life, right? Ji Annie thought with relief.

"Mother, I'm leaving..." Prince Ming had already climbed onto the windowsill and was about to slide down. Before leaving, he looked at Ji Anni reluctantly. It was too difficult to see his mother in this palace. He climbed through the window this time, but the next time would be a long way off.

"Yeah." Ji Anni nodded to him and raised her hand to stroke his cute little head.

This little prince is so lovable that it makes people feel heartbroken. They want to hold him in their arms and never let him go for the rest of their lives. They only hope that one day they can achieve enlightenment and get him back from Concubine An.

Although Ji Anni was not good at dealing with children, she really liked this Prince Ming.

Before parting, Ji Anni couldn't help but kiss Prince Ming on the forehead.

The mother and son were so inseparable that the eldest grandson Mingri, who was standing outside the window, became anxious and kept shouting, "Prince Ming! Prince Ming!"

Prince Ming came back to his senses and was about to slide out of the window. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Zhao Congfei, Shui Congfei." This voice was obviously Yan Niang's! Why did Yan Niang come here suddenly?

The four people left in the room, two adults and two children, were all stunned and looked at each other.

Shui Furong was the quickest to react, and immediately realized that Yanniang's arrival was related to the pillow. The guard was a man, and if he wanted to go to the Dong Congfei Palace to get the pillow, he must have Yanniang's permission. Maybe Yanniang came to give him the pillow in person.

"Hurry, hurry, leave now." Shui Furong subconsciously pushed Prince Ming and Zhuang Xiaomeng towards the window.

Fortunately, they closed the door in advance, otherwise if Yan Niang saw the mother-son reunion scene and ran to Chang Sun Nan to complain that Prince Ming was skipping school, those three little devils would be in big trouble.

Zhuang Xiaomeng was agile and rolled out while holding Prince Ming. After a few rolls, she landed safely on the ground.

Although the three children left safely, Shui Furong accidentally made a loud "bang" noise when closing the window.

After the loud noise, Yanniang's voice outside the door became more urgent: "Zhao Congfei! Shui Congfei!"

Such a hurried tone clearly showed that he suspected something had happened in the room.

Ji Anni knew Yanniang was powerful and was afraid that she would have wild thoughts, so she quickly replied, "I am coming, I am coming, wait a moment."

After saying that, he hurried to open the door for Yan Niang.

She rushed to the door, her hand already on the bolt, and looked back at Shui Furong who was checking the window for any remaining evidence.

Only after Shui Furong made a gesture to her, "It's okay, open the door," did she nervously open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Yan Niang quickly scanned the room. After finding nothing unusual, she looked at Ji Anni and Shui Furong. Although Ji Anni and Shui Furong wanted to pretend to be calm, their acting skills were not yet up to par. The more they tried to pretend, the easier it was to reveal their true colors. As soon as Yan Niang saw their stiff expressions, she knew they were up to something.

"Princess Zhao Congfei, you don't look well." A deep smile hung on Yan Niang's lips.

Ji Anni was most afraid of meeting Yanniang's eyes. When she saw Yanniang's gaze, she lowered her head awkwardly. Her mind was already in a mess, but she had to pretend to be calm and explain, "Just now...just now there was a big mosquito on the window, which scared Shui Congfei and me. We were in a hurry to hit the mosquito, so it made a "pa pa" sound. Yanniang, I didn't scare you, did I?"

After saying that, she winked at Shui Furong, signaling him to cooperate with her quickly.

Shui Furong and Ji Anni had already been on the same front. When she saw Ji Anni's look, she quickly gave false testimony for her: "Yes... yes, it's such a big mosquito, bigger than a fly, it scared me to death..."

As he spoke, he deliberately touched his chest, pretending to be frightened.

Yan Niang sneered and didn't believe it at all. However, since Ji Anni and Shui Furong deliberately concealed it, she didn't need to ask. She came to Shui Furong, handed him the pillow and said, "Madam, Yan Niang brought the pillow to you. I hope you will be healthy and never get sick again."
