Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

"Oh, she's just a concubine?" Princess Tianning's deliberately provocative voice sounded again at the banquet, mocking, "I thought there would be another imperial concubine sister in the future, oh... why is she just a concubine?"

Ji Anni stood there with the imperial edict in her hand, listening to Princess Tianning's words, and suddenly she had the urge to punch someone.

As if she could tell that something was wrong with Ji Anni's expression, Concubine Baogui hurriedly said to her, "Good sister, please sit down after receiving the order."

Ji Anni looked at Concubine Baogui, and from her worried eyes, she could see that she was concerned about herself. Suddenly, a warm current surged in her heart, and she wanted to cry. Everyone was cold to her, the Queen Mother, Concubine An, and Princess Tianning, these three women were really hateful. But fortunately, there was a Concubine Baogui who cared about her like a sister. Ji Anni had not forgotten what Concubine Baogui told her in the carriage, telling her not to get angry with Princess Tianning, otherwise she would be the one who would suffer.

Okay, I'll bear it...

Ji Anni gritted her teeth and endured it.

Just as she was about to sit back in her seat, Princess Tianning suddenly stood up and stopped Ji Anni, saying, "Wait a minute, this seat is for the imperial concubine. You are only a concubine now, are you worthy of it?"

This question left Ji Anni at a loss for words.

The Queen Mother, the only one who could control Tian Ning's insolence, remained silent at this time, watching the situation, as if she had indulged Tian Ning's behavior. Only Concubine Baogui looked at Ji Anni with great concern, and wanted to stand up several times, but she held back.

Seeing that the Queen Mother ignored him, Tian Ning became more and more daring. He walked to Ji Anni and said, "The people sitting at this table are all the Queen Mother, the Princess, and the Imperial Concubine. You are one level lower than us. How can you be on an equal footing with us?"

Ji Anni was so angry that she was shaking all over. If she hadn't been rational, she would have punched him.

Concubine Baogui could no longer bear to watch, and hurried forward to protect Ji Anni, and said to Tian Ning: "Princess, Zhao Ji has been named a concubine, we are all members of the royal family, we can call each other sisters, why is there a difference in rank?..."

Before he could finish, Tian Ning interrupted him and said, "Okay, you said there is no hierarchy, so why don't you kneel down and pay respect to Eunuch Lian?"

Eunuch Lian was the old eunuch who had just read out the Empress Dowager's decree. How could he dare to ask Concubine Gui to kneel down? After hearing what Princess Tianning said, he knelt down hurriedly with a plop, his body shaking, and he kept saying, "How dare I ask Concubine Gui to kneel down? I deserve to die, I deserve to die..."

"Who wants you to die? Stop making so much noise. Stand up." Princess Tianning shouted at the eunuch.

The eunuch had no choice but to stand up obediently.

Princess Tianning called another guard in and snatched the knife from him.

"Tian Ning..." The Queen Mother couldn't help but shout when she saw Tian Ning actually using a knife.

But Tian Ning was in high spirits and did not listen to the Queen Mother's advice. She grabbed the chair that Ji Anni was sitting on with one hand, laid it horizontally on the ground, and then chopped it down with a few "clangs", and saw that the four legs of the chair were cut short by her.

Standing up the short-legged chair, Tian Ning smiled provocatively at Ji Anni and said, "Okay, you can sit on this chair. The four legs of this chair are shorter than the ones we sit on, which means you are inferior to us. In this way, even if you sit at the same table with us to eat, it is not considered an equal, and it does not violate etiquette."

"Tian Ning, you've gone too far." Concubine Baogui couldn't help but say something harsh.

"It's not your turn to teach this princess a lesson." Tian Ning didn't take Concubine Baogui seriously at all. She put the chair with the legs cut off back to its original position and raised her neck to Ji Anni and said, "Are you going to sit on this chair or not? Are you going to eat this meal or not?"

With such a commotion, I'm afraid no one here has any appetite to eat.

Ji Anni was so angry that all the pores on her body opened up. If she hadn't kept telling herself to stay calm, she would have wanted to grab the knife and stab the unruly princess a few times.

What's the point of eating? I'm already full!

This was the first time that Ji Anni had been bullied to the point of shaking all over, and the person who bullied her was actually a yellow-haired girl three years younger than her! How could Ji Anni put her face? If she told others about this, they would laugh their teeth off.

Ji Anni and Tian Ning looked at each other, and heard a crackling sound of sparks colliding.

Baogui Fei leaned on the back of the chair, sighed, and said to Eunuch Lian beside her: "Eunuch, please change another chair."

"No change!" Tian Ning pushed Baogui Fei away, took the chair back, and said to Ji Anni, "If you don't sit on this chair today, don't even think about having a meal."

"Tianning..."

Concubine Baogui wanted to persuade her again, but was stopped by Ji Anni. Ji Anni was reluctant to see Concubine Baogui being angry with Princess Tianning again. She thought, isn't it just a chair with broken legs? It's not an electric chair used for executions, what's there to be afraid of? So she walked forward, held the back of the chair, and said to Tianning, "Princess, you took the trouble to prepare a chair for me. I can't thank you enough, why don't you dare to sit down?"

After saying that, he sat down on it.

I thought that this would calm things down, but Tian Ning's skill in chopping chair legs was not up to par. He chopped some of the four legs long and some short, and Ji Annie couldn't keep her balance when she sat on it.

I felt my body shake violently, and before I could react, I heard a dull "bang" and fell flat on my back in front of everyone.

"Sister." Concubine Baogui hurried over to help her.

The Queen Mother and Concubine An laughed at her and didn't care. Concubine Gan had her usual icy expression, as if she didn't see anything. Concubine Kang, who had a good relationship with Princess Tianning, couldn't stand it anymore and tried to stand up and dissuade her several times.

The fall caused Ji Anni's brain to go blank and she lost all her rationality.

Princess Tianning clapped her hands and laughed: "Okay, okay, I won't even give you a chair to sit on."

This laughter was like adding fuel to the fire. Ji Anni now wanted only to rush up the mountain to beat the princess up, even if she was dragged to the Meridian Gate to be beheaded.

But before Ji Anni could get up and beat the guy, Tian Ning took another glass of wine and poured it on Ji Anni, saying, "I heard that Sister Zhao Ji used to be a prostitute in a brothel. This is not a good job, and you are always criticized. I heard that if a customer pours wine on you, you can't get angry. This princess has always been curious. If you don't get angry after being poured with wine, what else can you do? Can't you just smile at him?"

The dress that Ji Anni was wearing was given to her by Concubine Baogui. Now that Princess Tianning had poured wine on her, a stain immediately appeared on her skirt. Ji Anni could still tolerate being insulted, but now that Tianning had poured wine on Concubine Baogui's clothes, she was insulting Concubine Baogui as well. Ji Anni could no longer bear it, and she stood up in front of Tianning.

"You...what do you want to do?" Tian Ning was half a head shorter than Ji Anni. Seeing the fierce light in Ji Anni's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little scared and even stuttered.

But Ji Anni did not glare at her. Instead, she smiled at her and picked up a glass of wine and said, "The princess said she didn't know how the brothel girls would respond after being splashed with wine. Well, now I'll tell you..."

After saying that, he poured the entire glass of wine onto Princess Tianning's face.
