Chapter 300: Beauty
If it weren't for water lotus, one can imagine how painful it would be to live alone in the future.
Shui Furong's figure had long disappeared, but Ji Anni was still looking at the direction where he left. Only then did she realize that her lingering feelings for him had already filled her heart. As soon as she thought about the possibility of being confined here alone in the future, she was immediately swallowed by a heavy and oppressive feeling of loneliness. I don't know since when, Shui Furong has become an indispensable friend to Ji Anni.
Although he is noisy, has a bad temper, is very vain, and has a tendency to dress like a woman...
If you count them all, he has a lot of faults, but... Ji Annie really likes him.
I like his straightforwardness, his frankness, and the shy expression he occasionally reveals. As I think about it, even his angry temper becomes cute.
Shui Furong actually knows more about Ji Anni's secrets than Yizhen, so Ji Anni is more unrestrained when speaking in front of Shui Furong. If Yizhen is a healing friend who can comfort Ji Anni when she is lonely, then Shui Furong is the best friend who can get into trouble with Ji Anni and be punished together. If Ji Anni and Yizhen's personalities complement each other like one is hard and the other is soft, then she and Shui Furong are compatible like the close proximity of ink and black.
Although at the beginning, Ji Anni despised Shui Furong who was unreasonable and wanted to steal Yizhen's room, but since he stayed with her after the transformation of the Demon Temple, Ji Anni's affection for him began to rise in a straight line. In fact, falling in love with someone is a very simple thing. An event, a word, or even an expression can become a good opportunity.
Wait a moment……
Ji Anni hurriedly interrupted her thoughts. The more she thought about it, the more strange it became. Suddenly, she realized that she had completely regarded Shui Furong as a woman.
No, he is a man, he is a man, he is a man...
These four words kept circling around Ji Anni's head like flies.
Oh my god, why is this happening? Ji Anni, puzzled, simply turned around and scratched the wall with her claws.
After scratching herself for about half a minute, Ji Annie finally calmed down.
She poured herself a cup of hot tea and while drinking it, she wondered how to pass the time.
In the past, it was always Ji Anni who was taken away by the emperor or kidnapped by the fox demon, leaving Shui Furong alone to look after the house. Now the situation has changed, and it is Shui Furong's turn to be taken away by the eunuch, while Ji Anni is left alone to look after the house.
Alas, less than a quarter of an hour had passed and Ji Anni was already yawning out of boredom.
The only things in the room that could be used for entertainment were writing brushes, ink, paper, and an ancient zither, which Ji Anni didn't know how to play with. The only thing she could do was to take out the few masterpieces that Shui Furong had left behind to kill time and appreciate them carefully. Those masterpieces included poems and paintings, and were stacked together in a thick stack, at least more than 30 pages.
Before Ji Anni officially started to appraise paintings, she was conquered by Shui Furong's vigorous creativity.
It's only been a few days, but he has already published so many works. I don't know if he really likes calligraphy and painting, or if he is just too bored.
There are lines like "the remaining snow is like spring flowers" and "white dew on cold nights", most of which are graceful lines about spring flowers and autumn moons. But Shui Furong doesn't seem to be such a delicate person, so Ji Anni guessed that those lines were probably left by predecessors, and Shui Furong had nothing to do, so she wrote a few lines down to relieve her boredom.
Regardless of the content of the words, the few lines of words that Shui Furong left on the paper were really meaningful, beautiful, and extraordinary. It is said that the handwriting reflects the person. Although Ji Anni does not understand calligraphy, she can tell at a glance that these words were all written by a beautiful woman.
As Ji Anni watched, she sighed: It seems that Shui Furong is not just a pretty face, she also has some real talents and knowledge. No wonder she was already famous before entering the palace.
Moving poems and paintings floated past Ji Anni's eyes one by one, which was truly a feast for the eyes.
Suddenly, Ji Anni's eyes stopped on a strange painting. The reason why the painting was strange was that it did not show green trees and red flowers, but a person, a beauty, a beautiful woman.
"Tsk tsk tsk." Ji Anni pulled out the picture of the beauty from the middle, held it in her hand and looked at it carefully.
It’s beautiful, really beautiful. Not only beautiful, but also somewhat familiar.
Look familiar? Ji Anni frowned and carefully identified the person in the painting with a more academic look. She concluded that she must have seen this beauty somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a moment. The more she couldn't remember, the more uncomfortable she felt in her chest.
She walked back and forth in the room with the picture of the beauty, back and forth, and walked around for more than ten circles, but she still couldn't figure out who this beauty was.
Just when she was about to give up, she looked up inadvertently and caught a glimpse of a person standing in front of her who looked exactly like the person in the painting.
At that moment, Ji Anni thought she had seen a ghost. She was so scared that her heart skipped a beat and almost jumped out of her mouth.
After looking more carefully, I realized that the thing in front of me was not a female ghost, but a mirror.
The beauty reflected in the mirror was Ji Anni herself. To be more precise, it was Ji Anni's body, Zhao Ji.
Ji Anni hadn't looked in the mirror for a long time, and she almost didn't recognize her own face. Although she had traveled through So Ji's body for more than 40 days, she still couldn't get used to her own face. Every time she looked in the mirror, she felt that the person reflected in the mirror was not herself, but someone else.
As time went by, when I looked in the mirror, I didn't feel like I was looking in a mirror, but rather it felt like I was looking face to face with Soji.
The feeling was so terrifying that it was definitely not inferior to the atmosphere of any horror movie.
So Ji Anni always avoids looking into the mirror to reduce the possibility of being scared by herself.
But...why did Shui Furong have nothing better to do than to draw Zhao Ji?
Ji Anni found it incredible and carefully compared the painting of Zhao Ji in the mirror with that of Shui Furong several times.
After repeated confirmation, she finally confirmed that the beauty in the water lotus painting was indeed Zhao Ji.
As for the reason why Shui Furong could draw Zhao Ji, Ji Anni, who had a relatively simple mind, didn't think much about it.
I just thought that since Shui Furong was confined to Wenhuayuan, there were not many references for her to draw. If she didn't use the beautiful Zhao Ji as a model, could she use the two door gods standing outside as models?
Ji Anni looked at the picture of the beauty and liked it more and more. Later, she simply hung it up.
It just so happens that the room in Wenhuayuan is very monotonous, so hanging a picture of a beauty is just the right way to decorate it.
When Shui Furong comes back, I will definitely praise him well, haha.
Ji Anni thought and smiled secretly.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a faint voice coming from outside.
Shui Furong just left, it’s impossible for her to come back so soon?
Ji Anni picked up the messy poems and paintings on the table and hurried to the door to look. It would have been fine if she hadn't looked, but she was shocked when she saw it, because the owner of the voice was none other than the most talked-about person in the palace recently - Princess Tianning.
As if to confirm Princess Tianning's identity once again, the two guards at the door knelt down and shouted, "Long live the princess."
Princess Tianning ignored them and walked straight to Ji Anni's room with her maid Yuemao.
"Tian Ning..." Ji Anni's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and she felt worried and strange, thinking that Princess Tian Ning should not be here. She didn't go to the Imperial Hospital to visit Kang Xiaorong, nor did she actively prepare her dowry, so why did she come to visit me in prison?
Just as she was thinking about it, Princess Tianning came in front of her.
Before Ji Anni could even open her mouth to greet her, Princess Tianning said, "Concubine Zhao Congfei, can you talk to me?"
In the past, Princess Tianning always spoke with high spirits and excitement, but now she spoke this sentence softly and slowly, with a deep sense of melancholy and sadness.
Suddenly, I felt that Princess Tianning had matured a lot more than before. Only after being hurt and feeling pain can one grow up.
However, Ji Anni didn't know whether this kind of maturity was good or bad.
When Princess Tianning's eyes showed sadness just now, Ji Anni really hoped that she would not become mature. It would be better if she could be carefree and innocent like before.
"Don't stand, come in and sit down." Ji Anni greeted with a smile and invited Princess Tianning into the room.
Princess Tianning was followed by her personal maid Yuemao, but Yuemao did not enter the house. She closed the door and stayed outside.
Princess Tianning noticed that the atmosphere in the room was not right when she entered the room. It seemed to be much quieter. After a while, she realized that it was because Shui Furong was not in the room. Princess Tianning asked softly, "Is Concubine Shui not here?"
"Oh, he just went out." Ji Anni helped Princess Tianning pull out a chair and helped Princess Tianning over.
Princess Tianning sat obediently in the seat arranged by Ji Anni and said, "That's fine. I just want to talk to you."
It was the first time that Ji Anni saw Princess Tianning so docile. She was so docile that she seemed like a completely different person. Ji Anni was not used to it for a while and didn't know how to respond. Seeing Princess Tianning's eyes were as red as a rabbit's, she asked without thinking, "Princess, why are your eyes so red? What's wrong?"
Ji Annie regretted asking the question as soon as she asked it. There was only one reason why Princess Tianning's eyes were red, and that was that she cried all night last night.
Princess Tianning turned her head slightly away, as if she didn't want Ji Anni to see her red eyes.
"I'm sorry, Princess, I didn't mean it. What's wrong with you?" Ji Anni sat down next to Princess Tianning.
Princess Tianning stared blankly at her toes and waited for a long time before she said, "Concubine Zhao Cong, I'm getting married..."
After hearing this expected answer, Ji Anni felt even more depressed. She nodded slightly and replied, "Yes."
"I'm getting married soon, but why is no one happy for me..." Princess Tianning's hands on her knees suddenly tightened her skirt. As she spoke, her head slowly dropped, seemingly about to fall on her knees.
"Why... no one blesses me?" As Princess Tianning choked with sobs, a tear fell.
