Feng Ning hated these kind of banquets.
She was thankful that she had the skill of putting on a324Please respect copyright.PENANAu3HIHfXcqt
blank and innocent face due to the fact that it was her natural face. After324Please respect copyright.PENANAcn58BaQke2
all, in her past life, she was so gullible that she ended up destroying herself324Please respect copyright.PENANAKSwP6OforW
because of her kindness.
The others didn’t seem to be willing to talk to her that324Please respect copyright.PENANAfyEsQqc0X6
much here. Even her elder sister, Feng Quan was busy to talk with the other324Please respect copyright.PENANAhkKY3gYSQx
girls and didn’t have time to care for her. As for Feng Zhi Liu, she was too324Please respect copyright.PENANAN6SSYo1Ij9
young to make trouble.
‘I’ll walk around now.’
Now that the Emperor had left the scene towards the garden,324Please respect copyright.PENANAnemiD8aDpb
only half of the people stayed here. Most of them were the children and the324Please respect copyright.PENANAeRWH9YPJv2
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. She324Please respect copyright.PENANAgP9VXnjT0b
raised her head, noticing that the one who talked was Lin Han Xing. Because he324Please respect copyright.PENANAz8zxFtlBZI
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 nodded324Please respect copyright.PENANAI8DiycY6HL
faintly. It seemed that he didn’t seem to care that much about what his father324Please respect copyright.PENANA7gUWz2zvk7
thought.
Lin Han Xing snorted. “Come with me, Hu Xi.”
“Yes, Father.”
As he watched them left, Lin Zi Xuan’s eyes darkened324Please respect copyright.PENANAPkF8c2vtJb
considerably. However, he didn’t leave his seat and merely played with the cup324Please respect copyright.PENANAJj40bPYnXl
in his hand. He raised his head towards the three young girls who sat not far324Please respect copyright.PENANAAeOMMZxxn3
from him, one was busy talking with others, another one was carried by the324Please respect copyright.PENANAocxcQlVzyO
servant, and the last one was walking towards him.
…Walking towards him?
“Imperial Cousin Zi Xuan.” A soft and childish voice rang in324Please respect copyright.PENANAWwLJtLnXM1
his ear. The tone was low and gentle, giving off refreshing feeling. Yet at the324Please respect copyright.PENANAm8BOGUoshd
same time, the voice carried the hint of carefulness, one that shouldn’t have324Please respect copyright.PENANAQsHuTUqB1Z
appeared in such a young girl.
Lin Zi Xuan lowered his head and looked at the young girl324Please respect copyright.PENANAiHHAuWlaLH
who was only 6 years old in front of him. “Princess Ning.”
Feng Ning’s lips twitched slightly. She was certainly not324Please respect copyright.PENANAGwa3Eylgyr
used with being addressed like that. Even though her servants sometimes called324Please respect copyright.PENANAL0u0VDChhT
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 walk324Please respect copyright.PENANAARaCmoqpVq
around?” Feng Ning asked while tilting her head, looking like an innocent young324Please respect copyright.PENANAEhhVgjVtcI
girl.
Lin Zi Xuan was staring at the young girl in front of him.324Please respect copyright.PENANAFyR11EfWba
“Father didn’t want me to create any trouble.”
“I see.”
Feng Ning could sense that this prince was keeping his324Please respect copyright.PENANAlYsXZFM8co
distance, so she didn’t want to try probing him anymore. She turned around,324Please respect copyright.PENANAJj0IiriTcf
right at the time Feng Quan was looking for her. “Sister, let’s go to the324Please respect copyright.PENANAReg3LvER4T
garden. The others said that outside is very beautiful.”
“Yes, Sister.”
The two of them walked out while Feng Zhi Liu was still324Please respect copyright.PENANAK1H7fiLjsr
resting in her maidservants’ hand. She was still three years old, so it was324Please respect copyright.PENANAxxRIbRbrkh
only natural that she would feel sleepy most of the time. Even her twin brother324Please respect copyright.PENANAdgyQiUXyb4
was not in much better condition under their mother’s hand.
Lin Zi Xuan stayed still in his place when he saw his father324Please respect copyright.PENANAwRRgRg5O8V
went back with Prime Minister Fang Hou Zheng. His father’s face was dark as he324Please respect copyright.PENANAr5Rkeoby11
pointed at him. “Go to the garden and accompany the princesses!”
“Yes, Father.”
Reaching the garden, Lin Zi Xuan could instantly see that324Please respect copyright.PENANAjmlEepHn5X
his half younger brother, Lin Hu Xi, was also talking with the two princess.324Please respect copyright.PENANAzyu8RO7C8g
However, it was clear that Feng Quan refused to get close to him and even gave324Please respect copyright.PENANAcmBv9PraPC
him polite distance.
The two of them were more or less of the same age and Feng324Please respect copyright.PENANAPsKG0r5ULA
Quan was someone who had learned etiquette more, so she refused.
“Are you not willing to play with me, Cousin Quan?” Lin Hu324Please respect copyright.PENANAVp5AkaQc22
Xi asked in low tone.
Feng Quan was smiling without mirth. “I’m afraid that it’ll324Please respect copyright.PENANAB0OKVscr6L
be inappropriate, Your Highness. How about if you play with the other boys?”
Even though she was calling with the word ‘Your Highness,’324Please respect copyright.PENANACpvy4leDsf
Lin Hu Xi could sense the coldness from deep within Feng Quan’s bone. Because324Please respect copyright.PENANAFogaJGczcE
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,324Please respect copyright.PENANAUn4iCTopFR
I want to play with the other girls.”
Both rejection.
Lin Hu Xi could only watch helplessly as the two of them324Please respect copyright.PENANAvZPouHCKZL
headed to the group of girls. He looked in the direction of Princess Lin Mei324Please respect copyright.PENANA0c1dlyv3s4
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 near324Please respect copyright.PENANAGRlZnDaHRA
an empty table, finding a random chair to sit. His dark eyes were watching the324Please respect copyright.PENANAiwgRADiTUN
three princesses who were staying at this place one by one.
He hadn’t returned to the Capital City in many years and he324Please respect copyright.PENANAq6Fnr8LmMs
knew very well that his father wished for his younger brother to be able to324Please respect copyright.PENANAR60pBCC1nu
marry one of the princess. Based on the age, his younger brother might be324Please respect copyright.PENANAOXC1YBW3ZY
targeting either Lin Mei Ni or Feng Ning. But so far, he hadn’t been324Please respect copyright.PENANAAEPpeKtNzb
successful.
‘How tiring.’
Looking at how these girls had been learning how to bootlick324Please respect copyright.PENANAFkcO6MzOhe
at young age, Feng Ning was finding it harder and harder to maintain her sweet324Please respect copyright.PENANAcmYcCmwKqy
and foolish smile. She really need to take a break.
“Sister, I want to sit down.” Feng Ning’s voice sounded a bit324Please respect copyright.PENANAROvKRalQ87
pleading.
Feng Quan looked at her younger sister and nodded her head.324Please respect copyright.PENANAJWSWlwpLXg
“In that case, please be careful, Sister. We wouldn’t want anything to happen324Please respect copyright.PENANA3835l3LfpE
to you.”
“Yes, I will be careful.”
Feng Ning sighed internally, knowing full well that her324Please respect copyright.PENANAplAf9zVN7i
older sister must be hoping that something happened to her. She glanced around324Please respect copyright.PENANAiKxPLaX8Xj
and walked towards the tables. At this moment, she noticed that Lin Zi Xuan was324Please respect copyright.PENANAodaijmRULn
sitting on the empty table, his dark eyes were watching his surroundings like a324Please respect copyright.PENANASxnxtWezSt
patient wolf that was waiting for its prey.
As their gaze met, Feng Ning felt that his gaze was somewhat324Please respect copyright.PENANAlgX5C4p0R8
familiar. It was not like she had seen him before, but she had seen that type324Please respect copyright.PENANAXeYqhkGILg
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 to324Please respect copyright.PENANAiZjlqP01Ip
survive, they would have to rely on their man if they wished to do anything. It324Please respect copyright.PENANAaz6uDa3ZsE
was not like she didn’t want to be independent, but she realized that many324Please respect copyright.PENANAxrrrBHs3pK
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,324Please respect copyright.PENANAU58QxTqD65
there were a lot of things that she had to pay attention to, and most324Please respect copyright.PENANAEfpknW3I4x
importantly, being in the Imperial Family meant that they had to mind their324Please respect copyright.PENANAjvcUVEWbJt
every action. It was tiring. There was never actually a time when she was not324Please respect copyright.PENANApSi3EPytzN
watched by anyone.
Even at home, the servants would be watching her. They would324Please respect copyright.PENANA6pyx19olsF
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 property324Please respect copyright.PENANAeltEHSnBxZ
because she was too young and those would only be given to her after she was324Please respect copyright.PENANAnOsVfv8gBX
married as part of dowry.
As for marriage? There were only a few people of similar324Please respect copyright.PENANAa7OqO2V7ED
status whom her mother would consider.
Feng Ning originally planned to stay calm and composed,324Please respect copyright.PENANAqprIIHZe11
pulling the servants to her side with the most harmless and slow methods. She324Please respect copyright.PENANAltOnoVFi9t
didn’t want to be seen as a threat by anyone, keen on persevering her peaceful324Please respect copyright.PENANAWUmhu0EFbJ
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, is324Please respect copyright.PENANA3KO1Utk7ds
it?’
