Tian Ning sat on the chair opposite Ji Anni and said in a very teacher-like manner: "Time is tight. I am afraid that we don't have time to teach you all the rules of the palace. From today on, let's strengthen the training for the concubines' dinner tomorrow night. You can learn other palace etiquette slowly after you officially become a concubine. Hua Rong and I can teach you."

Ji Anni hurriedly said, "Just let Huarong teach me. Princess, don't you have anything else to do?"

In fact, this question has troubled Ji Anni for a long time. She has never been able to figure out why Princess Tianning is clinging to her like an octopus. Doesn't Tianning still have a lover, Kang Xiaorong? Why would she cling to her if not her lover?

Ji Anni's question seemed to make Tian Ning feel very embarrassed. She looked away from Ji Anni's face and drifted to the wall beside her. She said in a somewhat unnatural voice: "Of course, this princess has a lot of things to do."

Ji Anni was waiting for her to say this, and hurriedly continued: "In that case, Princess, you don't have to waste your precious time on a little concubine like me who has no ambition and doesn't know the rules, right?"

Hearing this, Princess Tianning glared as if she was shocked and said, "You!..."

Before she could finish, Ji Anni interrupted her and said, "I...I'm doing this for your own good. Otherwise, if the Queen Mother knew that you, Princess, come to my room every day, I'm afraid she would send two guards to take you back like she did yesterday."

The mention of yesterday's incident actually aroused Tian Ning's interest. Although she was "escorted" back to the Princess Palace by two guards, the naturally curious Princess Tian Ning still sent someone to find out that the Queen Mother and Concubine An came to the Concubine Palace just to ask Ji Anni to hand over the evidence of the poisoned arrow case, but who would have thought that Ji Anni not only refused to hand it over, but also persuaded the Queen Mother to cancel the investigation.

After hearing this, Princess Tianning was surprised and curious. She was surprised that the Queen Mother was persuaded by Ji Anni, and she was curious why Ji Anni did not let the Queen Mother investigate further.

As the person concerned was present, Princess Tianning asked hastily, "Don't you want to know who wants to kill you?"

"I do think about it, but actually, I can more or less guess it without the Queen Mother investigating..." Ji Annie told the truth.

"You mean you already have a suspect in mind?" Princess Tianning's curiosity was completely aroused by Ji Anni. She was worried that life in the palace was dull and boring, with nothing interesting, but now she found that as long as she was with Ji Anni, there were constant incidents every day, which was overwhelming and colorful - this was probably one of the reasons why Princess Tianning liked to pester Ji Anni.

As for the second reason, Princess Tianning would probably be embarrassed to tell it for the rest of her life.

But Hua Rong, who was standing nearby, brought up the second reason in order to change the subject: "Princess, since Concubine Zhao wants to know why you always come to visit her, why don't you tell her?"

"So there really is a reason?" Ji Anni had always thought that the reason was that Princess Tianning had nothing to do.

After hearing Hua Rong's words, Princess Tianning's expression changed in an interesting way. First she was startled, then she was angry, and as soon as she whispered "No", her cheeks quickly turned red, and she looked embarrassed.

Ji Anni stared at her suspiciously, thinking, isn't it just a reason? Is it so difficult to say?

Hua Rong opened her mouth again and said, "Princess, why don't you let me speak for you? Otherwise, if you keep delaying it, who knows when it will end..."

"What's the reason?" Ji Anni was extremely anxious when she saw Hua Rong swallowing half of what she said.

Princess Tianning cried out twice, as if she was being pushed into a difficult situation with no way out. She rubbed her hair, stood up and turned around the room twice, and finally turned her back to Ji Anni and announced, "Well, since Hua Rong has said so much, this princess... this princess will just tell you the truth."

"Are you telling me or the wall?" Ji Anni was angry and amused when she saw Princess Tianning talking with her back to her. She thought that this princess claimed to be her etiquette teacher, but she didn't even know that she should face the other person when talking.

Ignoring Ji Anni's slight dissatisfaction, Princess Tianning raised her hand and pointed at Yuemao, saying, "Yuemao, take out the things."

There was something else? Ji Anni became even more curious and quickly turned her head to look in Yuemao's direction.

Yuemao took out a light yellow object from her sleeve, which looked like silk. When she looked at it again, she was surprised to find that it was actually a piece of clothing, and the style of the clothing looked familiar.

Without waiting for Ji Anni to ask, Yuemao said, "Concubine Zhao Congfei, this is the dress you gave the princess when she knelt with you in Renhe Hall as punishment that day."

After being reminded by Yuemao, Ji Anni slowly recalled.

That day, Tianning poured hot water on Yizhen's head, and Ji Anni got angry and started a quarrel with Princess Tianning. In the end, both of them were punished to kneel on the Renhe Hall Square until the moon was at the zenith. But then it suddenly rained, and Ji Anni was afraid that Princess Tianning would get sick, so she asked her to go back first, and even took off her coat and put it on the princess.

The dress that Ji Anni took off seemed to be the one in Yuemao's hand now...

But that was a long time ago, and Ji Anni almost forgot about it. But Princess Tianning, who usually seems to be heartless, is still very thoughtful and takes these little things to heart.

Thinking of this, Ji Anni couldn't help but turn her gaze to Princess Tianning again. Princess Tianning still had her back to her and said nothing, as if this posture was a special way of expressing that she felt embarrassed.

Huarong stepped forward and said to Ji Anni, "Concubine Zhao Cong, actually every time the princess came to see you, she asked Yuemao to take this dress with her. The princess has always wanted to find a chance to return the dress to you, but unfortunately she didn't have the chance to say it until today..."

"What..." Ji Anni was dumbfounded and suddenly realized.

It turns out that the reason why Princess Tianning kept pestering her all day long was to find a chance to return her clothes? Isn't it just a piece of clothing? Seeing how fearless Tianning usually was, why was she so shy about returning a piece of clothing now?

"Why don't you thank me quickly?" Princess Tianning deliberately used a proud voice to cover up her embarrassment.

"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Princess." Ji Anni also smiled, and she felt that this princess was more and more interesting. Although she always made her angry and always went against her, she still had a little cute side.
