Feng Ning hated these kind of banquets.
She was thankful that she had the skill of putting on a176Please respect copyright.PENANADVaZj93p3m
blank and innocent face due to the fact that it was her natural face. After176Please respect copyright.PENANAiZT2chHHum
all, in her past life, she was so gullible that she ended up destroying herself176Please respect copyright.PENANAkaRzPSuYFw
because of her kindness.
The others didn’t seem to be willing to talk to her that176Please respect copyright.PENANABXhT5hGsQj
much here. Even her elder sister, Feng Quan was busy to talk with the other176Please respect copyright.PENANAUbbFKlAFGQ
girls and didn’t have time to care for her. As for Feng Zhi Liu, she was too176Please respect copyright.PENANAGhio0Jpsxq
young to make trouble.
‘I’ll walk around now.’
Now that the Emperor had left the scene towards the garden,176Please respect copyright.PENANAFbjJTRufD9
only half of the people stayed here. Most of them were the children and the176Please respect copyright.PENANAzLFmxJSHwt
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. She176Please respect copyright.PENANAn1WAJKlbhf
raised her head, noticing that the one who talked was Lin Han Xing. Because he176Please respect copyright.PENANA5u6k8EXXnl
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 nodded176Please respect copyright.PENANAFC1Bfcy8gF
faintly. It seemed that he didn’t seem to care that much about what his father176Please respect copyright.PENANAFXhGZaQdeo
thought.
Lin Han Xing snorted. “Come with me, Hu Xi.”
“Yes, Father.”
As he watched them left, Lin Zi Xuan’s eyes darkened176Please respect copyright.PENANA9pNXV1auM4
considerably. However, he didn’t leave his seat and merely played with the cup176Please respect copyright.PENANApjlp2WmNPQ
in his hand. He raised his head towards the three young girls who sat not far176Please respect copyright.PENANAl3rpfsV1Wz
from him, one was busy talking with others, another one was carried by the176Please respect copyright.PENANAhUjdNgxFAZ
servant, and the last one was walking towards him.
…Walking towards him?
“Imperial Cousin Zi Xuan.” A soft and childish voice rang in176Please respect copyright.PENANAcDmOPMUwvv
his ear. The tone was low and gentle, giving off refreshing feeling. Yet at the176Please respect copyright.PENANAliDJ0kpTCb
same time, the voice carried the hint of carefulness, one that shouldn’t have176Please respect copyright.PENANAzmfr5Geui5
appeared in such a young girl.
Lin Zi Xuan lowered his head and looked at the young girl176Please respect copyright.PENANANXiZmNt6Fy
who was only 6 years old in front of him. “Princess Ning.”
Feng Ning’s lips twitched slightly. She was certainly not176Please respect copyright.PENANAmxOjE7CR4Q
used with being addressed like that. Even though her servants sometimes called176Please respect copyright.PENANAv5BNFuTm7y
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 walk176Please respect copyright.PENANASDfumczg2O
around?” Feng Ning asked while tilting her head, looking like an innocent young176Please respect copyright.PENANAxQtKQ3HXqB
girl.
Lin Zi Xuan was staring at the young girl in front of him.176Please respect copyright.PENANAHaxQmckaww
“Father didn’t want me to create any trouble.”
“I see.”
Feng Ning could sense that this prince was keeping his176Please respect copyright.PENANAHnRkASuUfC
distance, so she didn’t want to try probing him anymore. She turned around,176Please respect copyright.PENANAcPsd6fEyog
right at the time Feng Quan was looking for her. “Sister, let’s go to the176Please respect copyright.PENANAmOreyqUDBw
garden. The others said that outside is very beautiful.”
“Yes, Sister.”
The two of them walked out while Feng Zhi Liu was still176Please respect copyright.PENANAHBYmlX5CdY
resting in her maidservants’ hand. She was still three years old, so it was176Please respect copyright.PENANAMoUEnlQaGN
only natural that she would feel sleepy most of the time. Even her twin brother176Please respect copyright.PENANAjprWJ3R8wS
was not in much better condition under their mother’s hand.
Lin Zi Xuan stayed still in his place when he saw his father176Please respect copyright.PENANAHBd0XwgsV3
went back with Prime Minister Fang Hou Zheng. His father’s face was dark as he176Please respect copyright.PENANAFiViX6ceGx
pointed at him. “Go to the garden and accompany the princesses!”
“Yes, Father.”
Reaching the garden, Lin Zi Xuan could instantly see that176Please respect copyright.PENANAFT45HnFbvV
his half younger brother, Lin Hu Xi, was also talking with the two princess.176Please respect copyright.PENANA7sIKTQfOrE
However, it was clear that Feng Quan refused to get close to him and even gave176Please respect copyright.PENANARizJgjm5pM
him polite distance.
The two of them were more or less of the same age and Feng176Please respect copyright.PENANAjeFJJfMlvi
Quan was someone who had learned etiquette more, so she refused.
“Are you not willing to play with me, Cousin Quan?” Lin Hu176Please respect copyright.PENANAwjaRtWz7ym
Xi asked in low tone.
Feng Quan was smiling without mirth. “I’m afraid that it’ll176Please respect copyright.PENANAoKduUxMmyO
be inappropriate, Your Highness. How about if you play with the other boys?”
Even though she was calling with the word ‘Your Highness,’176Please respect copyright.PENANAJCDlsHaav1
Lin Hu Xi could sense the coldness from deep within Feng Quan’s bone. Because176Please respect copyright.PENANAGoPdCaKIKW
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,176Please respect copyright.PENANAHQv9mB7beT
I want to play with the other girls.”
Both rejection.
Lin Hu Xi could only watch helplessly as the two of them176Please respect copyright.PENANA8oR5PpeqTE
headed to the group of girls. He looked in the direction of Princess Lin Mei176Please respect copyright.PENANAHSTxczMSov
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 near176Please respect copyright.PENANAcYKY00qKNM
an empty table, finding a random chair to sit. His dark eyes were watching the176Please respect copyright.PENANAwXE7MKhl8y
three princesses who were staying at this place one by one.
He hadn’t returned to the Capital City in many years and he176Please respect copyright.PENANACPdTjbvHwo
knew very well that his father wished for his younger brother to be able to176Please respect copyright.PENANANLsPFmfITr
marry one of the princess. Based on the age, his younger brother might be176Please respect copyright.PENANAdsxhvq25iT
targeting either Lin Mei Ni or Feng Ning. But so far, he hadn’t been176Please respect copyright.PENANAtMo5IMY4fJ
successful.
‘How tiring.’
Looking at how these girls had been learning how to bootlick176Please respect copyright.PENANADTNzEHdwvA
at young age, Feng Ning was finding it harder and harder to maintain her sweet176Please respect copyright.PENANAQvW43wU07y
and foolish smile. She really need to take a break.
“Sister, I want to sit down.” Feng Ning’s voice sounded a bit176Please respect copyright.PENANALmhauhycah
pleading.
Feng Quan looked at her younger sister and nodded her head.176Please respect copyright.PENANANsdCMRWxqA
“In that case, please be careful, Sister. We wouldn’t want anything to happen176Please respect copyright.PENANA4XfWZJAusS
to you.”
“Yes, I will be careful.”
Feng Ning sighed internally, knowing full well that her176Please respect copyright.PENANAoHkWFJXpKn
older sister must be hoping that something happened to her. She glanced around176Please respect copyright.PENANAPQUdWE1TPC
and walked towards the tables. At this moment, she noticed that Lin Zi Xuan was176Please respect copyright.PENANArqDWMom2ey
sitting on the empty table, his dark eyes were watching his surroundings like a176Please respect copyright.PENANAlhnP9Kpqkm
patient wolf that was waiting for its prey.
As their gaze met, Feng Ning felt that his gaze was somewhat176Please respect copyright.PENANAJUn4YhphN3
familiar. It was not like she had seen him before, but she had seen that type176Please respect copyright.PENANAV5AghQYixV
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 to176Please respect copyright.PENANA62dBKAU74Y
survive, they would have to rely on their man if they wished to do anything. It176Please respect copyright.PENANAjGlQbVYwdQ
was not like she didn’t want to be independent, but she realized that many176Please respect copyright.PENANAP13lBVMyDW
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,176Please respect copyright.PENANAcXnyHsVRMc
there were a lot of things that she had to pay attention to, and most176Please respect copyright.PENANABoPztpsZ5q
importantly, being in the Imperial Family meant that they had to mind their176Please respect copyright.PENANABPa2ChRFkb
every action. It was tiring. There was never actually a time when she was not176Please respect copyright.PENANAan83wn26Mr
watched by anyone.
Even at home, the servants would be watching her. They would176Please respect copyright.PENANAn3P5yRhqgn
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 property176Please respect copyright.PENANAKgglSugddw
because she was too young and those would only be given to her after she was176Please respect copyright.PENANARudPt2wM8x
married as part of dowry.
As for marriage? There were only a few people of similar176Please respect copyright.PENANARLbfLd2PjU
status whom her mother would consider.
Feng Ning originally planned to stay calm and composed,176Please respect copyright.PENANAZhsmjKYG6E
pulling the servants to her side with the most harmless and slow methods. She176Please respect copyright.PENANARqSNVZ5sfj
didn’t want to be seen as a threat by anyone, keen on persevering her peaceful176Please respect copyright.PENANAxBWrHyMSgh
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, is176Please respect copyright.PENANAu12J1h1JBL
it?’
