Feng Ning hated these kind of banquets.
She was thankful that she had the skill of putting on a327Please respect copyright.PENANAbpJh0nTfmB
blank and innocent face due to the fact that it was her natural face. After327Please respect copyright.PENANAFDbiDnfs05
all, in her past life, she was so gullible that she ended up destroying herself327Please respect copyright.PENANAnJmhE2OBQT
because of her kindness.
The others didn’t seem to be willing to talk to her that327Please respect copyright.PENANApqOLqcwoj0
much here. Even her elder sister, Feng Quan was busy to talk with the other327Please respect copyright.PENANAEelJoYZSPQ
girls and didn’t have time to care for her. As for Feng Zhi Liu, she was too327Please respect copyright.PENANAUWm42B7U3N
young to make trouble.
‘I’ll walk around now.’
Now that the Emperor had left the scene towards the garden,327Please respect copyright.PENANALuiFAfgQcJ
only half of the people stayed here. Most of them were the children and the327Please respect copyright.PENANAnpU8JAYu62
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. She327Please respect copyright.PENANAY7dQ9ea9fj
raised her head, noticing that the one who talked was Lin Han Xing. Because he327Please respect copyright.PENANAWJDaPEyv98
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 nodded327Please respect copyright.PENANA1482eW0xdP
faintly. It seemed that he didn’t seem to care that much about what his father327Please respect copyright.PENANAF1NmKEoSdr
thought.
Lin Han Xing snorted. “Come with me, Hu Xi.”
“Yes, Father.”
As he watched them left, Lin Zi Xuan’s eyes darkened327Please respect copyright.PENANAIDYjCTvP2Z
considerably. However, he didn’t leave his seat and merely played with the cup327Please respect copyright.PENANAKv4njvygIV
in his hand. He raised his head towards the three young girls who sat not far327Please respect copyright.PENANAwMLGQ1VoqJ
from him, one was busy talking with others, another one was carried by the327Please respect copyright.PENANAQXzye1Py1K
servant, and the last one was walking towards him.
…Walking towards him?
“Imperial Cousin Zi Xuan.” A soft and childish voice rang in327Please respect copyright.PENANAv5JjWvVE1W
his ear. The tone was low and gentle, giving off refreshing feeling. Yet at the327Please respect copyright.PENANAoHk0ieO2lb
same time, the voice carried the hint of carefulness, one that shouldn’t have327Please respect copyright.PENANA1MCC9Que4N
appeared in such a young girl.
Lin Zi Xuan lowered his head and looked at the young girl327Please respect copyright.PENANAZsWvK9pjBy
who was only 6 years old in front of him. “Princess Ning.”
Feng Ning’s lips twitched slightly. She was certainly not327Please respect copyright.PENANAoVp4igmq5Q
used with being addressed like that. Even though her servants sometimes called327Please respect copyright.PENANA4C5EipSOgC
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 walk327Please respect copyright.PENANAqRJjwBP2sf
around?” Feng Ning asked while tilting her head, looking like an innocent young327Please respect copyright.PENANAdgg3sguWLW
girl.
Lin Zi Xuan was staring at the young girl in front of him.327Please respect copyright.PENANAEg0w7tEdXc
“Father didn’t want me to create any trouble.”
“I see.”
Feng Ning could sense that this prince was keeping his327Please respect copyright.PENANAYD877ity3e
distance, so she didn’t want to try probing him anymore. She turned around,327Please respect copyright.PENANA3bZIaJYIdV
right at the time Feng Quan was looking for her. “Sister, let’s go to the327Please respect copyright.PENANA6HPICdvaG5
garden. The others said that outside is very beautiful.”
“Yes, Sister.”
The two of them walked out while Feng Zhi Liu was still327Please respect copyright.PENANA80QimbPv0d
resting in her maidservants’ hand. She was still three years old, so it was327Please respect copyright.PENANAmTgjATHpoA
only natural that she would feel sleepy most of the time. Even her twin brother327Please respect copyright.PENANAtmRlN7qj0g
was not in much better condition under their mother’s hand.
Lin Zi Xuan stayed still in his place when he saw his father327Please respect copyright.PENANA7mYgJLNbIz
went back with Prime Minister Fang Hou Zheng. His father’s face was dark as he327Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8EUM4uDh9
pointed at him. “Go to the garden and accompany the princesses!”
“Yes, Father.”
Reaching the garden, Lin Zi Xuan could instantly see that327Please respect copyright.PENANAANPud5O70U
his half younger brother, Lin Hu Xi, was also talking with the two princess.327Please respect copyright.PENANAO6IFDlWNsj
However, it was clear that Feng Quan refused to get close to him and even gave327Please respect copyright.PENANApHO2X2AjQJ
him polite distance.
The two of them were more or less of the same age and Feng327Please respect copyright.PENANAFRXQBeNcOV
Quan was someone who had learned etiquette more, so she refused.
“Are you not willing to play with me, Cousin Quan?” Lin Hu327Please respect copyright.PENANALaGeV5Guwc
Xi asked in low tone.
Feng Quan was smiling without mirth. “I’m afraid that it’ll327Please respect copyright.PENANAv9hmBThv6e
be inappropriate, Your Highness. How about if you play with the other boys?”
Even though she was calling with the word ‘Your Highness,’327Please respect copyright.PENANAmcJkDb7IVd
Lin Hu Xi could sense the coldness from deep within Feng Quan’s bone. Because327Please respect copyright.PENANAeuDIZttTEs
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,327Please respect copyright.PENANAidptTyn0B2
I want to play with the other girls.”
Both rejection.
Lin Hu Xi could only watch helplessly as the two of them327Please respect copyright.PENANAU35VcSORtn
headed to the group of girls. He looked in the direction of Princess Lin Mei327Please respect copyright.PENANAxxLzYVoUFy
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 near327Please respect copyright.PENANAibCJxRGiqs
an empty table, finding a random chair to sit. His dark eyes were watching the327Please respect copyright.PENANA01K2bwNz9v
three princesses who were staying at this place one by one.
He hadn’t returned to the Capital City in many years and he327Please respect copyright.PENANACwqz0zDiS9
knew very well that his father wished for his younger brother to be able to327Please respect copyright.PENANA2mZOn1Xwbp
marry one of the princess. Based on the age, his younger brother might be327Please respect copyright.PENANAdvoxUFMuQS
targeting either Lin Mei Ni or Feng Ning. But so far, he hadn’t been327Please respect copyright.PENANApAZW4UDPrt
successful.
‘How tiring.’
Looking at how these girls had been learning how to bootlick327Please respect copyright.PENANAhkkikXNXHL
at young age, Feng Ning was finding it harder and harder to maintain her sweet327Please respect copyright.PENANArPqmSgBDuk
and foolish smile. She really need to take a break.
“Sister, I want to sit down.” Feng Ning’s voice sounded a bit327Please respect copyright.PENANAS5EctvXaMG
pleading.
Feng Quan looked at her younger sister and nodded her head.327Please respect copyright.PENANAyjIccOTVlZ
“In that case, please be careful, Sister. We wouldn’t want anything to happen327Please respect copyright.PENANAUOwxylQZ3E
to you.”
“Yes, I will be careful.”
Feng Ning sighed internally, knowing full well that her327Please respect copyright.PENANAdk10Dp0HJo
older sister must be hoping that something happened to her. She glanced around327Please respect copyright.PENANAGabKDqYZlG
and walked towards the tables. At this moment, she noticed that Lin Zi Xuan was327Please respect copyright.PENANAyrM4BjhhQl
sitting on the empty table, his dark eyes were watching his surroundings like a327Please respect copyright.PENANAXH7SyauWc9
patient wolf that was waiting for its prey.
As their gaze met, Feng Ning felt that his gaze was somewhat327Please respect copyright.PENANASyvZwL2FwT
familiar. It was not like she had seen him before, but she had seen that type327Please respect copyright.PENANAGy7KiugDcB
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 to327Please respect copyright.PENANAUtG9C3I7k6
survive, they would have to rely on their man if they wished to do anything. It327Please respect copyright.PENANAK0lUgdJ8xS
was not like she didn’t want to be independent, but she realized that many327Please respect copyright.PENANABpBQbcUKkh
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,327Please respect copyright.PENANAVnk6cGgVSB
there were a lot of things that she had to pay attention to, and most327Please respect copyright.PENANAPX8wKPVGdL
importantly, being in the Imperial Family meant that they had to mind their327Please respect copyright.PENANAtpxhuncP8b
every action. It was tiring. There was never actually a time when she was not327Please respect copyright.PENANAoid55X0i1d
watched by anyone.
Even at home, the servants would be watching her. They would327Please respect copyright.PENANAODEJVO7OSV
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 property327Please respect copyright.PENANAlZZPxMLuOf
because she was too young and those would only be given to her after she was327Please respect copyright.PENANAN1pY3E8sfO
married as part of dowry.
As for marriage? There were only a few people of similar327Please respect copyright.PENANALr9KAAsxQ3
status whom her mother would consider.
Feng Ning originally planned to stay calm and composed,327Please respect copyright.PENANA4WDZQXS23z
pulling the servants to her side with the most harmless and slow methods. She327Please respect copyright.PENANAFTnGOZQnHm
didn’t want to be seen as a threat by anyone, keen on persevering her peaceful327Please respect copyright.PENANAbdBmERxZXc
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, is327Please respect copyright.PENANAGo6rcES4HB
it?’
