Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

"You are really strange. You said you didn't forget, but you forgot what happened outside the palace." Princess Tianning sighed softly. She didn't know how much she believed Ji Anni's words.

Seeing that Tianning's eyes were clear and did not reveal any conspiracy or suspicion, Ji Anni breathed a sigh of relief.

Afraid of continuing to dwell on the issue of amnesia, Ji Anni hurriedly said, "Princess, didn't you say time is running out? Let's hurry up and continue to make up for it."

"Well, take a few steps and let this princess see you." Tian Ning pointed to the open space in the room.

Everyone knows how to walk. Ji Anni stood up and twisted her steps like the queens on TV. But because she was too deliberate, she was not graceful at all, but had the opposite effect. To describe it in four words, it was "terrible".

"Stop, stop, stop!" Princess Tianning couldn't bear to watch and hurriedly shouted, "Are you walking, or is your leg cramping?"

Huarong and Yuemao looked at each other, both wanting to laugh but not daring to.

Ji Anni was a little unconvinced and said, "Isn't it that your palace values ​​slender and graceful manners?"

"Your behavior is not called gracefulness, but coquettishness." Tian Ning bluntly corrected Ji Anni's misconception, "The palace emphasizes elegance and proper behavior. The two steps you just took were like a farce performed by a troupe outside the palace. Moreover, you played the ugliest clown in the show."

"Hey..." Ji Anni frowned, "If you speak without restraint, you will be punished."

But Princess Tianning's face became even more serious, and she announced mercilessly: "From now on, you must practice walking, sitting, laughing, holding chopsticks, passing cards, and kneeling repeatedly. You can't rest until I say you've passed it."

"Forget about walking, sitting, and passing cards... you have to practice that 'smile' too?"

"Since you think it's not necessary, then smile for me."

Just laugh if you want to. I’m not afraid of you. What’s more, I have Zhao Ji’s beautiful face to support me.

Thinking of this, Ji Anni took a deep breath, relaxed her facial muscles, and then slowly blossomed into what she thought was the most beautiful smile like a rose. I thought this smile would be enough to make Princess Tianning scream in amazement, but Princess Tianning sat as steady as a rock, not to mention amazement, she didn't even raise her eyebrows.

Ji Anni kept smiling on her face for three full minutes, but Princess Tianning still did not express her opinion.

He didn't say anything good or bad, he just sat in front of Ji Anni like a statue, staring at Ji Anni with his eyes.

After about five minutes, Ji Anni felt a little sour at the corners of her mouth, and her facial muscles began to stiffen slightly, but Princess Tianning still did not respond. Ji Anni finally couldn't help it, and her smile fell, and she asked Princess Tianning: "Princess... Can I laugh? Can you at least say something?"

At this time, the petrified Princess Tianning finally came back to life and sneered, "It's only been less than half an incense stick of time, and you can't smile anymore? This princess tells you that you must keep your smile for more than two hours. Even if you are facing a wall, you have to smile at the wall for two hours."

"You must be kidding." Ji Anni felt exhausted just thinking about it. "You've been smiling at the wall for two hours. Do you want to make me paralyzed?"

"In short, Concubine Zhao, you still have a lot to learn. The Grand Secretary Xi who taught me etiquette said that if all the rules of the palace were written into a book, even if we built three study rooms, we wouldn't be able to contain them all."

What Princess Tianning said made Ji Anni pay the most attention to was not the rules, but the person called "Master Xi".

Just yesterday, Ji Anni learned that Hua Rong's surname was "Xi" and that her father was a university scholar. However, because she expressed some opinions about the An clan in the history books, she was sentenced to death with her entire family. If Princess Tianning had not been very curious about the twins Hua Rong and Yue Mao and begged the Queen Mother to keep them as her maids, Hua Rong and Yue Mao would have been beheaded long ago.

Ji Anni paid attention to Hua Rongyuemiao's expression and saw that they all lowered their heads slightly. She was immediately sure that the "Grand Secretary Xi" that Princess Tianning had just mentioned was Hua Rongyuemiao's father "Xi Jinde".

It turned out that Xi Jinde had once taught the princess etiquette. It is conceivable that his status and reputation should be quite high, but he was still killed by the An clan. It can only be said that... the An clan's power to cover the sky with one hand is really strong.

Next, Ji An practiced basic movements such as sitting, walking, standing, and kneeling under the guidance of Princess Tianning. She practiced until her back and waist ached and her limbs were weak. After a lot of effort, it was noon. When the sun was high in the sky, it was time for lunch. Ji Anni's shriveled stomach had already made a "gurgling" sound, telling her to eat.

Although Tian Ning was strict, he did not delay the meal time. He asked Hua Rongyuemiao to bring the food, and he and Ji Anni ate it together in the room. It was also a small test of the morning training, to check whether Ji Anni's posture of holding chopsticks and picking up food was correct.

This was the first time that Ji Anni had a meal with the princess, and she was constantly corrected for her wrong actions during the meal. Eating should be a great pleasure in life, but today's meal was more uncomfortable than being tortured.

Princess Tianning was young, but when she was serious, her energy was really unbearable. Ji Anni was tortured by her and her life was shortened by three years. It was five or six times harder than the military training.

Never mind, there are only two days left anyway...

Ji Anni gritted her teeth and told herself that she had to hold on.

So Ji Anni spent the whole day in Princess Tianning's devilish training. After a lot of hard work, the sun set and the sky was full of rosy clouds. Outside the door came the sound of concubines returning from Renhe Hall one after another.

Ji Anni thought, now I can finally rest, right? Unexpectedly, Princess Tianning still refused to let her go, and gave her an assignment, which was to let her face a table of delicious food, not to eat, but only to look at it, and she had to look at it for a full hour before she could pick up her chopsticks, and she said that this was to train her concentration on delicious food.

Because at the dinner, as long as the emperor, empress dowager, concubine and imperial concubine did not start eating, Ji Anni and other concubines with the lowest status were absolutely not allowed to eat first. They were not allowed to eat first, and they were not allowed to show any desire for food on their faces.

This training is more exhausting for Ji Anni than asking her to do 500 sit-ups.

She has loved eating since she was a child, and has an almost obsessive pursuit of delicious food. In addition, today's training was tiring, and she was already starving. Now she was asked to stare at the delicious food and not be allowed to eat it. It was crueler than hell.

But Princess Tianning deliberately left Huarong to monitor her.

Hua Rong was meticulous in her work and didn't show any mercy. No matter how much Ji Anni begged her to let her go, she refused to agree.

So Ji Anni faced the table of delicious food and began to think: No... There is still a whole day tomorrow. If I don't think of any measures, what if Princess Tianning tortures me to death? Yes, I must find a way, a way...
