Feng Ning hated these kind of banquets.
She was thankful that she had the skill of putting on a456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIulEfMSGm
blank and innocent face due to the fact that it was her natural face. After456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCNp8qn4xe
all, in her past life, she was so gullible that she ended up destroying herself456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuW0AboMSt
because of her kindness.
The others didn’t seem to be willing to talk to her that456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM0yMrfgsq
much here. Even her elder sister, Feng Quan was busy to talk with the other456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9k7ZakCkF
girls and didn’t have time to care for her. As for Feng Zhi Liu, she was too456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSGlTwpCe6
young to make trouble.
‘I’ll walk around now.’
Now that the Emperor had left the scene towards the garden,456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SMkysDq9w
only half of the people stayed here. Most of them were the children and the456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg3c3fmM3S
younger generations along with their mothers.
“You should stay here and don’t embarrass me.”
The voice was low, but Feng Ning could hear it clearly. She456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5QqlQqxSx
raised her head, noticing that the one who talked was Lin Han Xing. Because he456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAIXwRfAvk
was not far from her, she could hear his voice was he berated his first son.
Lin Zi Xuan looked straight to his father and nodded456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PGYW9rGQo
faintly. It seemed that he didn’t seem to care that much about what his father456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY899R5pPv
thought.
Lin Han Xing snorted. “Come with me, Hu Xi.”
“Yes, Father.”
As he watched them left, Lin Zi Xuan’s eyes darkened456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgnkxwyvwB
considerably. However, he didn’t leave his seat and merely played with the cup456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFmOhr8VXK
in his hand. He raised his head towards the three young girls who sat not far456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0NalRBPaA
from him, one was busy talking with others, another one was carried by the456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVrZw15gGQ
servant, and the last one was walking towards him.
…Walking towards him?
“Imperial Cousin Zi Xuan.” A soft and childish voice rang in456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHeDyTQbuk
his ear. The tone was low and gentle, giving off refreshing feeling. Yet at the456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ah8HCUxoK
same time, the voice carried the hint of carefulness, one that shouldn’t have456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aC0gkibSD
appeared in such a young girl.
Lin Zi Xuan lowered his head and looked at the young girl456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6bpxi8pTY
who was only 6 years old in front of him. “Princess Ning.”
Feng Ning’s lips twitched slightly. She was certainly not456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQwbGqKpQO
used with being addressed like that. Even though her servants sometimes called456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajtLsjzbda
her with the word princess, she didn’t pay much attention to them in the past.
Thus, she didn’t really care that much.
But hearing it from an outsider made her felt strange.
“Imperial Cousin Zi Xuan, are you not allowed to walk456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92LB3CT9Mn
around?” Feng Ning asked while tilting her head, looking like an innocent young456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtQlksU4Hh
girl.
Lin Zi Xuan was staring at the young girl in front of him.456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyJYhdl25O
“Father didn’t want me to create any trouble.”
“I see.”
Feng Ning could sense that this prince was keeping his456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmpAI1J8Fw
distance, so she didn’t want to try probing him anymore. She turned around,456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqWlOoeBzc
right at the time Feng Quan was looking for her. “Sister, let’s go to the456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWwXvSQpr9
garden. The others said that outside is very beautiful.”
“Yes, Sister.”
The two of them walked out while Feng Zhi Liu was still456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDuu86ihs8
resting in her maidservants’ hand. She was still three years old, so it was456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsvqhk8YWS
only natural that she would feel sleepy most of the time. Even her twin brother456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk3Yw7WgmO
was not in much better condition under their mother’s hand.
Lin Zi Xuan stayed still in his place when he saw his father456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcOHFklU5F
went back with Prime Minister Fang Hou Zheng. His father’s face was dark as he456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHRCjXnDnz
pointed at him. “Go to the garden and accompany the princesses!”
“Yes, Father.”
Reaching the garden, Lin Zi Xuan could instantly see that456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aFmQPXLLH
his half younger brother, Lin Hu Xi, was also talking with the two princess.456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3k9XRNzQI
However, it was clear that Feng Quan refused to get close to him and even gave456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF1Sx4LD12
him polite distance.
The two of them were more or less of the same age and Feng456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54wy71sdJC
Quan was someone who had learned etiquette more, so she refused.
“Are you not willing to play with me, Cousin Quan?” Lin Hu456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldlbo7Lsza
Xi asked in low tone.
Feng Quan was smiling without mirth. “I’m afraid that it’ll456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGow37R96TO
be inappropriate, Your Highness. How about if you play with the other boys?”
Even though she was calling with the word ‘Your Highness,’456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiyrmjliGP
Lin Hu Xi could sense the coldness from deep within Feng Quan’s bone. Because456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mm69iFrsw
of that, Lin Hu Xi knew that he wouldn’t have any chance to get close to her.
Feng Ning blinked her eyes and shook her head. “Your Highness,456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoZqD63G7J
I want to play with the other girls.”
Both rejection.
Lin Hu Xi could only watch helplessly as the two of them456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBiAClgQRQ
headed to the group of girls. He looked in the direction of Princess Lin Mei456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZgFODQ7lY
Ni, but he knew very well that it was harder to get close to that young girl.
At the side, Lin Zi Xuan watched everything and stayed near456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlqGxKSjcI
an empty table, finding a random chair to sit. His dark eyes were watching the456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyQPkvV72U
three princesses who were staying at this place one by one.
He hadn’t returned to the Capital City in many years and he456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk75EYnTn4
knew very well that his father wished for his younger brother to be able to456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxQrQdOSEG
marry one of the princess. Based on the age, his younger brother might be456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERwdHFquft
targeting either Lin Mei Ni or Feng Ning. But so far, he hadn’t been456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHFKWMX840
successful.
‘How tiring.’
Looking at how these girls had been learning how to bootlick456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hi44r9QSs
at young age, Feng Ning was finding it harder and harder to maintain her sweet456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6aeFbhsCD
and foolish smile. She really need to take a break.
“Sister, I want to sit down.” Feng Ning’s voice sounded a bit456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMHDkqP1ld
pleading.
Feng Quan looked at her younger sister and nodded her head.456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYPGctn2zy
“In that case, please be careful, Sister. We wouldn’t want anything to happen456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3iWYWOfEg
to you.”
“Yes, I will be careful.”
Feng Ning sighed internally, knowing full well that her456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWO9hwcfK0
older sister must be hoping that something happened to her. She glanced around456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvAhxXByBl
and walked towards the tables. At this moment, she noticed that Lin Zi Xuan was456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddbpYBtFns
sitting on the empty table, his dark eyes were watching his surroundings like a456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KcXOaexWV
patient wolf that was waiting for its prey.
As their gaze met, Feng Ning felt that his gaze was somewhat456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUt92DV3xp
familiar. It was not like she had seen him before, but she had seen that type456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmGfbCJY5x
of gaze on someone else before.
‘Should I try?’
A bold thought appeared within Feng Ning’s mind.
In this kind of world where women would find it difficult to456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHZfGmYwrc
survive, they would have to rely on their man if they wished to do anything. It456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m2VNhwHm3
was not like she didn’t want to be independent, but she realized that many456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbIroWIaTs
things she thought she could do was actually impossible.
Those things that she read from the novel was all bulls***.
There were a lot of people who were guarding the manor,456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93sYjg8o5T
there were a lot of things that she had to pay attention to, and most456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzK4PTo2Cz
importantly, being in the Imperial Family meant that they had to mind their456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1i0LYvjwi
every action. It was tiring. There was never actually a time when she was not456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi6lTKmMK1
watched by anyone.
Even at home, the servants would be watching her. They would456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqWlFnmznq
only pretend that they didn’t on some specific time.
She wouldn’t be able to get away.
As for making money? She couldn’t even touch any property456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj7vSahvzE
because she was too young and those would only be given to her after she was456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq3SdE1Y2A
married as part of dowry.
As for marriage? There were only a few people of similar456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnkRMt5zHc
status whom her mother would consider.
Feng Ning originally planned to stay calm and composed,456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkykjY1M9zU
pulling the servants to her side with the most harmless and slow methods. She456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWI7w0mV3q
didn’t want to be seen as a threat by anyone, keen on persevering her peaceful456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqphNXszmBa
life.
Now that she had seen his gaze…
She was tempted.
Tempted to take that chance.
‘I have died once, there’s nothing wrong with trying, is456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmITsMIGjg
it?’
