Lin Hu Xi was around 11 years old, but he had a proud look476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNp2v4d5MT
on his face as he greeted his aunt. Smiling yet not smiling, he performed his476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcucCIho8Iu
greetings flawlessly.
Feng Ning watched everything from the back, amused by their476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVtFnhuRd1
performances, but she said nothing. She had no place to even interfere and476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8GffAyDmk
joined in their conversation. After all, she was nothing more than an outsider.
In this party, she was nothing more than a spectator.
Spectator.
It might sound like a good word, but it was nothing more476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67GqMQBOZ4
than someone who was staying at the shadow and being unnoticed. In the end, all476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGQJcsJ7rC
that she could do was to watch as others interacted and showed off their476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBXSgPlFgU
skills.
‘I like this silence, though.’
With no one bothering her, Feng Ning was watching her mother476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dp87me0kQ
battle of words with the other Imperial Family members. She took the sip of the476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZyuXPkyZn
tea while noticing that Feng Quan was trying hard to maintain her smile.
‘Did she notice someone?’ Feng Ning glanced to the side476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0cVFZk5FR
naturally and noticed a group of people were staying not far from them. Being476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsH7BcRV1U
able to sit in location near the Imperial Family only showed that their476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxZdWGMQp0
statuses were not bad.
Unfortunately, Feng Ning didn’t know everyone.
They would only introduce themselves later on when they476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEOMUkXwEL
reached that segment.
“His Majesty, Her Majesty, and Her Highness Princess Mei Ni476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsxvwTPelG
had arrived.”
The moment the eunuch announced the Emperor’s arrival,476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8B9Gui219
everyone stood up from their chairs and kowtowed to the ground. Feng Ning476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2dna2ih8q
followed their movement and noticed that the atmosphere turned tense almost476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNfmY5ZW5B
immediately. The stifling atmosphere reminded her of her school days when the476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9ntgOLtEm
principal suddenly appeared.
It was fear and respect.
“We greets Your Majesty, long life Your Majesty.”
“Rise.”
The Emperor’s voice was low and pleasant to the ear. At the476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnIOlyAH8B
same time, it carried hint of bloodlust that he didn’t even bother to conceal.476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5evEfzoYf
Some children were trembling and stifling their tears from the moment the476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKP1T5w7Qe
Emperor had arrived.
Feng Ning took a deep breath as she raised her head for a476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtcnbgxdQK
brief moment before lowering her head once more. She only took a brief look,476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf3yu8uvJl
but she had seen the Emperor’s face. He didn’t look that much different476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3oS3iOWBL
compared to her mother, around 60 to 70 percent similar. However, his eyes were476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDJScZqMS7
exceedingly cold that Feng Ning didn’t even want to look at him anymore.
Just that brief moment had made Feng Ning felt as if she was476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj915BFJ0nw
meeting with someone who glanced at everyone here as if they owed billions to476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMRqWN5rLm
him. It was not a nice feeling.
As for the Empress… she was a beautiful woman. However, she476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IaaxFlouz
never gave birth to any child for the Emperor and was probably nothing more476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKpifK83jq
than a figurehead. However, the air that she exuded still gave out the word476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0acdklYg9z
authority.
Princess Lin Mei Ni was the only surviving younger476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2pL8qH4pI
generation.
As for why Feng Ning called her that way, it was obviously476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDXa44SPVc
because she had heard that there were countless imperial concubines who had476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQl4aKSH1C
died in the past decade. Not to mention, there were also various attacks476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QswNSZDYm
directed at the children who were born for the Emperor that many of them didn’t476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVrgm25QFG
survive even for a month.
It was a brutal battlefield.
And the Emperor did nothing to even stop them.
Probably because not a single one of them was a son. That476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprsgDQBUg4
was quite an unfortunate luck for him.
Cruel and cold blooded. That was the only description that476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW6Sb1tCrY
Feng Ning could give when she saw the Emperor.
“Today marks New Year and this time there are a lot of476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGkV2GOqtx
vassal kingdoms have sent their regards. This banquet is also to welcome them476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr6YJJpWBZ
all.”
Ah right…
Lin Tang Kingdom was a powerful kingdom that also ‘claimed’476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl0zzego5z
many areas as their vassal. Those who didn’t want to obey were destroyed one by476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9Km5iMaT0
one until this time, where everyone was basically forced to follow them. With476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeycITTCHb
the power that Lin Tang Kingdom’s hold, Feng Ning had no doubt that this476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8BLmcTuxV
kingdom would be heading towards its peak soon.
Of course, that was only if the Emperor could hold onto his476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv7r64x5Cx
chair.
‘What in the world am I thinking….’
Feng Ning lowered her head and focused on eating the food in476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpPAxkPIZq
front of her. For some reasons, she couldn’t help but think that the peace she476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDXWTSmNu5
had right now was nothing more than being superficial. It was a fragile peace476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIagnTssNZ
that could be broken so easily.
“Imperial Cousins.”
Hearing the cheerful voice, Feng Ning’s body stiffened476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qAlHxhDK7
slightly. She raised her head and made sure that she put on a blank look as she476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfZNKvnhU9
looked at Princess Mei Ni who came towards them.
Lin Mei Ni.
The only child of the current Emperor who survived. It was476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p2tvlM8zb
needless to say that her mother was a favored concubine and that she managed to476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1brKAPUafN
survive this long was not mere luck. She was also a very capable person.
Lin Mei Ni was only a year older than her, making her being476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL79dFc6Va
only 7 years old. Nevertheless, Feng Ning recognized the gaze that Lin Mei Ni476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m3uwnnE16
held when she was looking in their direction that appeared for a split second.
Disgust.
Feng Ning pushed her feelings down and showed a foolish476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszmxPqdAPP
smile. “Imperial Cousin Mei Ni.”
Beside her, Feng Quan and Feng Zhu Liu also suppressed their476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58dY2li6nq
expression as they greeted Lin Mei Ni politely.
“This is the first time we meet with each other. Imperial476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfrmK3xGW5
Mother taught me that I should be polite, so I have prepared presents for all476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLVOxCKNyE
of you,” Lin Mei Ni said with sweet tone.
Feng Ning was utterly speechless. Did this Lin Mei Ni think476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMr7VDrde5
of herself as an elder? The way she conducted herself would make her look as if476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wj5DqtHyj
she was looking down on her and her sisters.
Though, Feng Ning didn’t care that much.
“Your Highness, isn’t it a bit too much? I didn’t prepare476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSgiZlaGxr
anything for you.” Feng Ning looked troubled.
Feng Quan’s eyes burned with fury while Feng Zhi Liu was476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjbBXud5s2
more interested in what kind of present they were.
Lin Mei Ni smiled, her expression still looked like that of476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS5crJIjge
a sweet girl. “It’s fine. I’m the one who want to stay close with all of you.476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqJj3l4RT9
Do you perhaps dislike the presents?”
“Not at all, Imperial Cousin.” Feng Quan forced a smile.476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMfPnXWr00
However, she was older than Lin Mei Ni, so how could she not understand the476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82GXsVaIdm
intention of her cousin? It was as if she was telling them that she would476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLQ0KVOJay
always be above them in terms of seniority.
She was infuriated, but she couldn’t possibly lash out in476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNwQ7F6GPc
this kind of place.
Feng Ning and Feng Zhu Liu also expressed that they didn’t476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uvQ9a2Bml
mind as they accepted the present.
“That’s good.” Lin Mei Ni curtsied and didn’t stay there any476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIHnbjj8Ok
longer before returning to her parents. It was time for them to watch the476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWlsk2qtPP
performance and to make sure that they all enjoyed the night.
Feng Quan snorted as her grip tightened. It was clear that476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNIkD2gCm4
she was dissatisfied with this arrangement, but what could she possibly do?
She was nothing.
‘So this is a person from the Imperial Family.’
Feng Ning looked at the three people on the highest seat as476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomEHxBcw8x
smiled faintly. In the past, she often watched historical drama and always felt476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Di2HV9Bh
awe to these people who could live their lives in this complicated place.
Now that she had seen them.
She understood that it was not like they wanted to be like476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirASjyaCai
that. But if they wanted to survive, they had no other choice but to grow up to476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVT8Z7EDuj
be the scheming ones.
If they failed, they would die.
As simple as that.
‘The most glorious place is also the dirtiest place.’
