Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

After Yun Zhen left, Ji Anni came to Aunt Yang, smiled like a cute girl, and called out, "Aunt."

I thought that since Aunt Yang accepted Concubine Baogui's jewelry last night, she should take better care of herself.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Yang glared at her with a stern face, pointed her chin towards where the other concubines were standing and said, "Stand inside."

"Oh." Ji Anni walked in uninterested and stood next to Yizhen.

Yizhen asked quietly, "Xiao Zhao, why are you so late? You haven't combed your hair yet? Where is the maid?"

"Maid?" Ji Anni was stunned, wondering what maid.

"They are the maids who serve you." Yizhen was also surprised to see Ji Anni's bewildered expression. "In the Concubine Palace, each Concubine is assigned a maid to serve her. However, during the period of training in the palace, they only serve her with dressing and meals. After the training, they will serve her personally."

"How come I don't know?" No one had ever mentioned this matter of palace maids to Ji Anni.

Yizhen said, "Although they don't live with Concubine Cong, they will go to wake her up every morning, dress her up, bring her three meals on time, and help her remove her makeup and make her bed at night... Why, Xiao Zhao, didn't your maid wake you up today?"

Is this actually happening?

Ji Anni's eyes widened. She had never heard of this before. She slept till dawn today and no one called her.

Could it be that because she entered the palace too late, the harem forgot to assign a maid to serve her?

So Ji Anni raised her hand and asked, "Aunt, where is my maid?"

"What?" Aunt Yang turned her head seriously.

Ji Anni argued, "You can't blame me for being late. It was because the maid who was supposed to wake me up didn't come today that I overslept."

"Didn't come?" Aunt Yang seemed a little unconvinced, "You said Die'er didn't go?"

Ji Anni then realized that the maid who served her was called "Die'er" and assured Aunt Yang, "She definitely didn't go."

Aunt Yang laughed contemptuously and said, "Maybe the queen overslept and didn't hear Die'er knocking on the door?"

"How is this possible?" Although Ji Anni slept soundly last night, she was a martial artist after all. She was trained by her grandfather to be a sensitive person who would jump out of bed as soon as she heard something unusual. If someone really knocked on the door in the morning, she would definitely not have heard it.

"Stop guessing." At this time, a very familiar female voice came from behind the crowd.

Ji Anni couldn't help but tremble when she heard the voice, not because of fear, but because of anger. Because the person who spoke was none other than Princess Tianning, who had a big fight with her last night.

Behind Princess Tianning were two cute palace maids who looked exactly the same, they must be twins.

Seeing Princess Tianning coming, the two aunts and concubines quickly knelt down and said in unison, "Good luck to the princess."

Only Ji Anni was stunned and didn't react at all. She thought to herself, what's wrong with these people? Isn't she just a princess? Is it necessary to perform such a big ceremony? It seems that Princess Tianning is really powerful and no one dares to offend her.

Everyone else knelt down, only Ji Anni was still standing there stupidly, looking very awkward.

In fact, it wasn't that Ji Anni didn't want to kneel. If everyone else knelt, she would kneel too. This was a courtesy, not an insult, so it was nothing. But the problem now was that everyone else knelt too quickly. By the time Ji Anni reacted, everyone else had knelt on the ground, so she was the only one left standing.

If Princess Tianning used this as an excuse to say that she was disrespectful to her, Ji Anni would really feel wronged.

As expected, Princess Tianning came here for Ji Anni today. She didn't ask Ji Anni to kneel down, but walked to Ji Anni with a swagger, raised her chin and said, "I saw that the maid named Die'er was smart, so I asked her to serve me. I didn't know she was the maid of Concubine Zhao Cong. I'm really sorry."

That tone, that manner, that expression, didn't show any sign of being offended.

Of course Ji Anni knew that she was deliberately picking on her, so she didn't say much and just kept her mouth shut and ignored her.

Princess Tianning circled around Ji Anni and smacked her lips, "Concubine Zhao Cong, how can you dress like this? Your hair is not combed and your clothes are messy. Oh, there are wine stains on it. Tsk tsk."

You were the one who spilled this wine last night!

Ji Anni had already slapped Princess Tianning thirty times in her heart.

Tian Ning saw that Ji Anni was silent and thought that Ji Anni was afraid of her. She smiled smugly and said to the two aunts kneeling at her feet, "You guys stand up and tell me what you are going to train next. I have been ordered by the Queen Mother to urge all the concubines to learn, especially the wild girl born in a certain Yi country. She really needs to be disciplined and be influenced by the saints."

The person who was "born in the barbarian country" must be Ji Anni.

Zhao Ji was a maid of the Qi State, and Qi was a foreign country to the Tianyou Holy Dynasty. But the term "wild girl" was very offensive to Ji Anni. She was obviously a few years older than Tian Ning, but she was called a girl? How could she put her face on that?

Although she was very angry, she had to endure it. Seeing Princess Tianning's arrogant look, she knew that she came prepared this time and was determined to ridicule her. Okay... Ji Anni clenched her fists and thought, Princess Tianning, I want to see what tricks you can use to torment me? I don't believe that I, Ji Anni, can't stand you.

At this time, Aunt Yang said respectfully, "Princess, today the concubines will first learn how to walk in the palace, and then learn how to serve tea."

"Serve tea?" Tian Ning laughed when she heard it. "Serving tea is good. The ancients said that tea shows respect, tea can refine one's mind, and tea can practice morality. The art of serving tea is even more particular. This princess has learned it before. Aunt, why don't Tian Ning help you share the burden today?"

"Share the burden with one person?" Aunt Yang and Aunt Yu looked at each other, as if they didn't quite understand what Tianning said.

Princess Tianning pointed at Ji Anni and said, "I have decided. Today I will teach her how to serve tea to me and apologize."

I can learn to serve tea...but how can I apologize...

Ji Anni couldn't help but frowned. It seemed that the princess wanted to take advantage of her by asking her to apologize in the name of teaching. Oh, forget it... Anyway, it was just a cup of tea, which was much better than being slapped, so she didn't care too much and kept silent.

At this time, Tian Ning said to the two twin palace maids behind him, "Hua Rong, Yue Miao, bring Concubine Zhao to the room."

What? Are you planning to lock me up in a small room and torture me?

Ji Anni immediately became alert.

At this time, the two little palace maids named "Huarong" and "Yuemao" had come to Ji Anni's side, and politely made a gesture of "Your Majesty, please come this way".

Ji Anni looked at the young palace maids and saw that they were all thin and frail, like two leaves of daylily, and they definitely didn't have much strength. Even if they really wanted to use force on her, she could handle it in two or three moves.

Thinking of this, Ji Anni was no longer afraid. She raised her head and followed the two little palace maids.

Tian Ning took Ji Anni away, and his mood seemed to become particularly good. He also became polite to the two aunts and said with a smile: "Two aunts, Tian Ning will take Concubine Zhao away first."

Of course, the two aunts did not dare to object, they just bowed their heads and smiled apologetically, "This servant deserves death, for making the princess tired."
