Feng Ning hated these kind of banquets.
She was thankful that she had the skill of putting on a365Please respect copyright.PENANAwxUTDVuL3s
blank and innocent face due to the fact that it was her natural face. After365Please respect copyright.PENANAkNcphxdlj8
all, in her past life, she was so gullible that she ended up destroying herself365Please respect copyright.PENANAOeyGGFi3Ad
because of her kindness.
The others didn’t seem to be willing to talk to her that365Please respect copyright.PENANAFMgnCjkkXd
much here. Even her elder sister, Feng Quan was busy to talk with the other365Please respect copyright.PENANA58FHcDpxEM
girls and didn’t have time to care for her. As for Feng Zhi Liu, she was too365Please respect copyright.PENANALhAgSCaiLW
young to make trouble.
‘I’ll walk around now.’
Now that the Emperor had left the scene towards the garden,365Please respect copyright.PENANA0iafYtXAYN
only half of the people stayed here. Most of them were the children and the365Please respect copyright.PENANAXa7Sn5DRNY
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. She365Please respect copyright.PENANA1tm9I5sAzN
raised her head, noticing that the one who talked was Lin Han Xing. Because he365Please respect copyright.PENANAKNu19mrJgo
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 nodded365Please respect copyright.PENANApvmIBY39LK
faintly. It seemed that he didn’t seem to care that much about what his father365Please respect copyright.PENANA3IFbRMRGeE
thought.
Lin Han Xing snorted. “Come with me, Hu Xi.”
“Yes, Father.”
As he watched them left, Lin Zi Xuan’s eyes darkened365Please respect copyright.PENANAwaABtP6lwO
considerably. However, he didn’t leave his seat and merely played with the cup365Please respect copyright.PENANAVX9LE47K7s
in his hand. He raised his head towards the three young girls who sat not far365Please respect copyright.PENANAHZeQDriUYn
from him, one was busy talking with others, another one was carried by the365Please respect copyright.PENANACtSGgEcdcy
servant, and the last one was walking towards him.
…Walking towards him?
“Imperial Cousin Zi Xuan.” A soft and childish voice rang in365Please respect copyright.PENANAXfe1lryHRB
his ear. The tone was low and gentle, giving off refreshing feeling. Yet at the365Please respect copyright.PENANAxBQ4PkdrIz
same time, the voice carried the hint of carefulness, one that shouldn’t have365Please respect copyright.PENANAkfv6Zp01HD
appeared in such a young girl.
Lin Zi Xuan lowered his head and looked at the young girl365Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3jrdUXLXa
who was only 6 years old in front of him. “Princess Ning.”
Feng Ning’s lips twitched slightly. She was certainly not365Please respect copyright.PENANAVmlZzG7pH3
used with being addressed like that. Even though her servants sometimes called365Please respect copyright.PENANAWyIK159hVo
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 walk365Please respect copyright.PENANAgfpLwKxeMm
around?” Feng Ning asked while tilting her head, looking like an innocent young365Please respect copyright.PENANAYDm5eXrM1h
girl.
Lin Zi Xuan was staring at the young girl in front of him.365Please respect copyright.PENANApnB0s3GnwL
“Father didn’t want me to create any trouble.”
“I see.”
Feng Ning could sense that this prince was keeping his365Please respect copyright.PENANAlY3MSIuDxQ
distance, so she didn’t want to try probing him anymore. She turned around,365Please respect copyright.PENANAQNvUhE3gnE
right at the time Feng Quan was looking for her. “Sister, let’s go to the365Please respect copyright.PENANADJwdhFZYs5
garden. The others said that outside is very beautiful.”
“Yes, Sister.”
The two of them walked out while Feng Zhi Liu was still365Please respect copyright.PENANAPW5oAGCOSV
resting in her maidservants’ hand. She was still three years old, so it was365Please respect copyright.PENANAoSq6RJopZl
only natural that she would feel sleepy most of the time. Even her twin brother365Please respect copyright.PENANA9Abr1tBt2Y
was not in much better condition under their mother’s hand.
Lin Zi Xuan stayed still in his place when he saw his father365Please respect copyright.PENANAL8o2x4lrj6
went back with Prime Minister Fang Hou Zheng. His father’s face was dark as he365Please respect copyright.PENANAZ10owggwo4
pointed at him. “Go to the garden and accompany the princesses!”
“Yes, Father.”
Reaching the garden, Lin Zi Xuan could instantly see that365Please respect copyright.PENANAR81gzHXZjo
his half younger brother, Lin Hu Xi, was also talking with the two princess.365Please respect copyright.PENANAjz0xbgLWhe
However, it was clear that Feng Quan refused to get close to him and even gave365Please respect copyright.PENANAv1cQSFfHOB
him polite distance.
The two of them were more or less of the same age and Feng365Please respect copyright.PENANAUqbZgtCDeM
Quan was someone who had learned etiquette more, so she refused.
“Are you not willing to play with me, Cousin Quan?” Lin Hu365Please respect copyright.PENANAqxQGCh5eSP
Xi asked in low tone.
Feng Quan was smiling without mirth. “I’m afraid that it’ll365Please respect copyright.PENANAHcO1iVlcDH
be inappropriate, Your Highness. How about if you play with the other boys?”
Even though she was calling with the word ‘Your Highness,’365Please respect copyright.PENANAX4QVFCXipA
Lin Hu Xi could sense the coldness from deep within Feng Quan’s bone. Because365Please respect copyright.PENANADnEHOVqz5S
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,365Please respect copyright.PENANAXPu7MTCJpt
I want to play with the other girls.”
Both rejection.
Lin Hu Xi could only watch helplessly as the two of them365Please respect copyright.PENANAVyefcbg3hN
headed to the group of girls. He looked in the direction of Princess Lin Mei365Please respect copyright.PENANAzwB0s3oXnW
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 near365Please respect copyright.PENANAP0GXhHWP58
an empty table, finding a random chair to sit. His dark eyes were watching the365Please respect copyright.PENANAi2nFEOfofJ
three princesses who were staying at this place one by one.
He hadn’t returned to the Capital City in many years and he365Please respect copyright.PENANAXlvwgLLRJo
knew very well that his father wished for his younger brother to be able to365Please respect copyright.PENANALg4qZp1ZKo
marry one of the princess. Based on the age, his younger brother might be365Please respect copyright.PENANAvzcyhjhA4w
targeting either Lin Mei Ni or Feng Ning. But so far, he hadn’t been365Please respect copyright.PENANAYNxZlr8HgV
successful.
‘How tiring.’
Looking at how these girls had been learning how to bootlick365Please respect copyright.PENANAxj0cJten2q
at young age, Feng Ning was finding it harder and harder to maintain her sweet365Please respect copyright.PENANAArev6BQpte
and foolish smile. She really need to take a break.
“Sister, I want to sit down.” Feng Ning’s voice sounded a bit365Please respect copyright.PENANAzl4m57dvYU
pleading.
Feng Quan looked at her younger sister and nodded her head.365Please respect copyright.PENANA4l8leLSuEW
“In that case, please be careful, Sister. We wouldn’t want anything to happen365Please respect copyright.PENANAK2TWwDTcAo
to you.”
“Yes, I will be careful.”
Feng Ning sighed internally, knowing full well that her365Please respect copyright.PENANAIFFFfRKloR
older sister must be hoping that something happened to her. She glanced around365Please respect copyright.PENANAIqx1AmmT6I
and walked towards the tables. At this moment, she noticed that Lin Zi Xuan was365Please respect copyright.PENANAG4qd3JPp3N
sitting on the empty table, his dark eyes were watching his surroundings like a365Please respect copyright.PENANA9kwrCP95Xa
patient wolf that was waiting for its prey.
As their gaze met, Feng Ning felt that his gaze was somewhat365Please respect copyright.PENANAeiCzuBXNVU
familiar. It was not like she had seen him before, but she had seen that type365Please respect copyright.PENANADBsDWfPczT
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 to365Please respect copyright.PENANAuc6wZbCjg9
survive, they would have to rely on their man if they wished to do anything. It365Please respect copyright.PENANAhSCRbHCc4W
was not like she didn’t want to be independent, but she realized that many365Please respect copyright.PENANAsDeUVKBs9n
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,365Please respect copyright.PENANA0Iqz9U87zi
there were a lot of things that she had to pay attention to, and most365Please respect copyright.PENANA807RRDdJe0
importantly, being in the Imperial Family meant that they had to mind their365Please respect copyright.PENANAGpR2sLj0rv
every action. It was tiring. There was never actually a time when she was not365Please respect copyright.PENANA0eoHBxpa1A
watched by anyone.
Even at home, the servants would be watching her. They would365Please respect copyright.PENANAlLLmnPwUBS
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 property365Please respect copyright.PENANAGN6icbFCGN
because she was too young and those would only be given to her after she was365Please respect copyright.PENANAkSvuuz6Ie2
married as part of dowry.
As for marriage? There were only a few people of similar365Please respect copyright.PENANAgjKSeLHjoi
status whom her mother would consider.
Feng Ning originally planned to stay calm and composed,365Please respect copyright.PENANAIeOp1yUZZr
pulling the servants to her side with the most harmless and slow methods. She365Please respect copyright.PENANANJ031DztBP
didn’t want to be seen as a threat by anyone, keen on persevering her peaceful365Please respect copyright.PENANAMhWzjh6ikO
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, is365Please respect copyright.PENANAejkf6FDlwC
it?’
