Lin Hu Xi was around 11 years old, but he had a proud look356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZNfSxyPHm
on his face as he greeted his aunt. Smiling yet not smiling, he performed his356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RGTSoC75Q
greetings flawlessly.
Feng Ning watched everything from the back, amused by their356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn0hKEYFsS
performances, but she said nothing. She had no place to even interfere and356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVF3BxMHrC
joined in their conversation. After all, she was nothing more than an outsider.
In this party, she was nothing more than a spectator.
Spectator.
It might sound like a good word, but it was nothing more356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeXejAt5vv
than someone who was staying at the shadow and being unnoticed. In the end, all356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6GqN09EkK
that she could do was to watch as others interacted and showed off their356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3h8UtIo3N
skills.
‘I like this silence, though.’
With no one bothering her, Feng Ning was watching her mother356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB908ZqUVvU
battle of words with the other Imperial Family members. She took the sip of the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73D5siSoy2
tea while noticing that Feng Quan was trying hard to maintain her smile.
‘Did she notice someone?’ Feng Ning glanced to the side356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IkNBc79y0
naturally and noticed a group of people were staying not far from them. Being356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n2cfIIu9a
able to sit in location near the Imperial Family only showed that their356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzkZM148QC
statuses were not bad.
Unfortunately, Feng Ning didn’t know everyone.
They would only introduce themselves later on when they356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIUaZudaGU
reached that segment.
“His Majesty, Her Majesty, and Her Highness Princess Mei Ni356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Raz5zQcAJ
had arrived.”
The moment the eunuch announced the Emperor’s arrival,356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8DAykTl8d
everyone stood up from their chairs and kowtowed to the ground. Feng Ning356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsIgVzdEAZ
followed their movement and noticed that the atmosphere turned tense almost356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2T0TT5vGv
immediately. The stifling atmosphere reminded her of her school days when the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QddqwerCU
principal suddenly appeared.
It was fear and respect.
“We greets Your Majesty, long life Your Majesty.”
“Rise.”
The Emperor’s voice was low and pleasant to the ear. At the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrGghgfPdT
same time, it carried hint of bloodlust that he didn’t even bother to conceal.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDEXdnLBGl
Some children were trembling and stifling their tears from the moment the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZlBvsjjJO
Emperor had arrived.
Feng Ning took a deep breath as she raised her head for a356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgLvgzWjE0
brief moment before lowering her head once more. She only took a brief look,356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTrFl0iFqv
but she had seen the Emperor’s face. He didn’t look that much different356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFleRv8CLf
compared to her mother, around 60 to 70 percent similar. However, his eyes were356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYr1qwxyQa
exceedingly cold that Feng Ning didn’t even want to look at him anymore.
Just that brief moment had made Feng Ning felt as if she was356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp6ZmLP5rX
meeting with someone who glanced at everyone here as if they owed billions to356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuyQ5RNyPg
him. It was not a nice feeling.
As for the Empress… she was a beautiful woman. However, she356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1unFDSJIdP
never gave birth to any child for the Emperor and was probably nothing more356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90ikPOKVdo
than a figurehead. However, the air that she exuded still gave out the word356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97xAte9YHn
authority.
Princess Lin Mei Ni was the only surviving younger356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsRvYBquXp
generation.
As for why Feng Ning called her that way, it was obviously356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj2eLrEV2s
because she had heard that there were countless imperial concubines who had356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgPOmcXfDh
died in the past decade. Not to mention, there were also various attacks356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYU0fxqgHq
directed at the children who were born for the Emperor that many of them didn’t356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVs5mbg0GL
survive even for a month.
It was a brutal battlefield.
And the Emperor did nothing to even stop them.
Probably because not a single one of them was a son. That356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzrzcELfou
was quite an unfortunate luck for him.
Cruel and cold blooded. That was the only description that356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE99fjDbj2
Feng Ning could give when she saw the Emperor.
“Today marks New Year and this time there are a lot of356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytVsR1ZleY
vassal kingdoms have sent their regards. This banquet is also to welcome them356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LA6bnE3Aj
all.”
Ah right…
Lin Tang Kingdom was a powerful kingdom that also ‘claimed’356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8ojgojYSC
many areas as their vassal. Those who didn’t want to obey were destroyed one by356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVYrPQPewd
one until this time, where everyone was basically forced to follow them. With356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA91AfGY6P
the power that Lin Tang Kingdom’s hold, Feng Ning had no doubt that this356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2IbcUMJqh
kingdom would be heading towards its peak soon.
Of course, that was only if the Emperor could hold onto his356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomBanVgxKX
chair.
‘What in the world am I thinking….’
Feng Ning lowered her head and focused on eating the food in356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrHe5cpyHX
front of her. For some reasons, she couldn’t help but think that the peace she356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMadE9Nqzaj
had right now was nothing more than being superficial. It was a fragile peace356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFLqBBw2Cs
that could be broken so easily.
“Imperial Cousins.”
Hearing the cheerful voice, Feng Ning’s body stiffened356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDD1kB1K21
slightly. She raised her head and made sure that she put on a blank look as she356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLy3cTPgbE
looked at Princess Mei Ni who came towards them.
Lin Mei Ni.
The only child of the current Emperor who survived. It was356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeQogANSfR
needless to say that her mother was a favored concubine and that she managed to356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoSx7b8oUk
survive this long was not mere luck. She was also a very capable person.
Lin Mei Ni was only a year older than her, making her being356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0taYXEp42
only 7 years old. Nevertheless, Feng Ning recognized the gaze that Lin Mei Ni356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiQJKxMP3m
held when she was looking in their direction that appeared for a split second.
Disgust.
Feng Ning pushed her feelings down and showed a foolish356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMth4Fhni7d
smile. “Imperial Cousin Mei Ni.”
Beside her, Feng Quan and Feng Zhu Liu also suppressed their356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth8li70oZo
expression as they greeted Lin Mei Ni politely.
“This is the first time we meet with each other. Imperial356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGvk5QdXVt
Mother taught me that I should be polite, so I have prepared presents for all356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW4hLFyh3i
of you,” Lin Mei Ni said with sweet tone.
Feng Ning was utterly speechless. Did this Lin Mei Ni think356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs7WuuRMUO
of herself as an elder? The way she conducted herself would make her look as if356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYusH19vBJx
she was looking down on her and her sisters.
Though, Feng Ning didn’t care that much.
“Your Highness, isn’t it a bit too much? I didn’t prepare356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NLQVljyrW
anything for you.” Feng Ning looked troubled.
Feng Quan’s eyes burned with fury while Feng Zhi Liu was356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOgakSRjal
more interested in what kind of present they were.
Lin Mei Ni smiled, her expression still looked like that of356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw5G5zFJuc
a sweet girl. “It’s fine. I’m the one who want to stay close with all of you.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz2jixUbFs
Do you perhaps dislike the presents?”
“Not at all, Imperial Cousin.” Feng Quan forced a smile.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdwmU25NR9
However, she was older than Lin Mei Ni, so how could she not understand the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz2ba8QPlC
intention of her cousin? It was as if she was telling them that she would356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF1hXj9npq
always be above them in terms of seniority.
She was infuriated, but she couldn’t possibly lash out in356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHGLV0YnES
this kind of place.
Feng Ning and Feng Zhu Liu also expressed that they didn’t356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIll87s746
mind as they accepted the present.
“That’s good.” Lin Mei Ni curtsied and didn’t stay there any356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeSiS4uL7f
longer before returning to her parents. It was time for them to watch the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotKzEqekw0
performance and to make sure that they all enjoyed the night.
Feng Quan snorted as her grip tightened. It was clear that356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgacHE4Y6O
she was dissatisfied with this arrangement, but what could she possibly do?
She was nothing.
‘So this is a person from the Imperial Family.’
Feng Ning looked at the three people on the highest seat as356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHDHeq0TtN
smiled faintly. In the past, she often watched historical drama and always felt356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf28M7rW41
awe to these people who could live their lives in this complicated place.
Now that she had seen them.
She understood that it was not like they wanted to be like356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55QJIFQS1g
that. But if they wanted to survive, they had no other choice but to grow up to356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32dunnK2Al
be the scheming ones.
If they failed, they would die.
As simple as that.
‘The most glorious place is also the dirtiest place.’
