Feng Ning hated these kind of banquets.
She was thankful that she had the skill of putting on a326Please respect copyright.PENANAlNrUqe4H7G
blank and innocent face due to the fact that it was her natural face. After326Please respect copyright.PENANAh9k0Hf7yId
all, in her past life, she was so gullible that she ended up destroying herself326Please respect copyright.PENANAhoC7yhsASS
because of her kindness.
The others didn’t seem to be willing to talk to her that326Please respect copyright.PENANA5qLxIDSvKU
much here. Even her elder sister, Feng Quan was busy to talk with the other326Please respect copyright.PENANABsW18kRXLs
girls and didn’t have time to care for her. As for Feng Zhi Liu, she was too326Please respect copyright.PENANA3o03cYVehY
young to make trouble.
‘I’ll walk around now.’
Now that the Emperor had left the scene towards the garden,326Please respect copyright.PENANAK63KyMCJw5
only half of the people stayed here. Most of them were the children and the326Please respect copyright.PENANA0uYhrdWXYM
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. She326Please respect copyright.PENANAI9gMDt0fV3
raised her head, noticing that the one who talked was Lin Han Xing. Because he326Please respect copyright.PENANAQqKyLB1I02
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 nodded326Please respect copyright.PENANADl4gBFXafP
faintly. It seemed that he didn’t seem to care that much about what his father326Please respect copyright.PENANAaUdeUHFHeV
thought.
Lin Han Xing snorted. “Come with me, Hu Xi.”
“Yes, Father.”
As he watched them left, Lin Zi Xuan’s eyes darkened326Please respect copyright.PENANAWZ8DFvKjd2
considerably. However, he didn’t leave his seat and merely played with the cup326Please respect copyright.PENANAsTqOXQcdTk
in his hand. He raised his head towards the three young girls who sat not far326Please respect copyright.PENANACsbp7uWOP2
from him, one was busy talking with others, another one was carried by the326Please respect copyright.PENANA0HilYPnxnN
servant, and the last one was walking towards him.
…Walking towards him?
“Imperial Cousin Zi Xuan.” A soft and childish voice rang in326Please respect copyright.PENANAyF1IbHbanf
his ear. The tone was low and gentle, giving off refreshing feeling. Yet at the326Please respect copyright.PENANAwlR7Ln51GP
same time, the voice carried the hint of carefulness, one that shouldn’t have326Please respect copyright.PENANAfauXt8g0B0
appeared in such a young girl.
Lin Zi Xuan lowered his head and looked at the young girl326Please respect copyright.PENANAHF4RFFVYSl
who was only 6 years old in front of him. “Princess Ning.”
Feng Ning’s lips twitched slightly. She was certainly not326Please respect copyright.PENANA4VrX0Dd3Zm
used with being addressed like that. Even though her servants sometimes called326Please respect copyright.PENANADVDPe28Dt1
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 walk326Please respect copyright.PENANAM2ACmFppMq
around?” Feng Ning asked while tilting her head, looking like an innocent young326Please respect copyright.PENANA5lgdLdH4xI
girl.
Lin Zi Xuan was staring at the young girl in front of him.326Please respect copyright.PENANAHuZa5WIfg2
“Father didn’t want me to create any trouble.”
“I see.”
Feng Ning could sense that this prince was keeping his326Please respect copyright.PENANAmm1bsuscyi
distance, so she didn’t want to try probing him anymore. She turned around,326Please respect copyright.PENANAwQm1FG3ZuF
right at the time Feng Quan was looking for her. “Sister, let’s go to the326Please respect copyright.PENANAyVXnas8CEy
garden. The others said that outside is very beautiful.”
“Yes, Sister.”
The two of them walked out while Feng Zhi Liu was still326Please respect copyright.PENANAR9xpsq7ntj
resting in her maidservants’ hand. She was still three years old, so it was326Please respect copyright.PENANAr5W5fllmnn
only natural that she would feel sleepy most of the time. Even her twin brother326Please respect copyright.PENANAPGmnK5PJER
was not in much better condition under their mother’s hand.
Lin Zi Xuan stayed still in his place when he saw his father326Please respect copyright.PENANA7d9FaiGPFP
went back with Prime Minister Fang Hou Zheng. His father’s face was dark as he326Please respect copyright.PENANAammChuPE0S
pointed at him. “Go to the garden and accompany the princesses!”
“Yes, Father.”
Reaching the garden, Lin Zi Xuan could instantly see that326Please respect copyright.PENANAAYGhs8EZMy
his half younger brother, Lin Hu Xi, was also talking with the two princess.326Please respect copyright.PENANAlcNQ471gCT
However, it was clear that Feng Quan refused to get close to him and even gave326Please respect copyright.PENANAdAD8gb1qYy
him polite distance.
The two of them were more or less of the same age and Feng326Please respect copyright.PENANAvqd4xJsB9Z
Quan was someone who had learned etiquette more, so she refused.
“Are you not willing to play with me, Cousin Quan?” Lin Hu326Please respect copyright.PENANAHOiOKS4ACM
Xi asked in low tone.
Feng Quan was smiling without mirth. “I’m afraid that it’ll326Please respect copyright.PENANAjLhnwSMExe
be inappropriate, Your Highness. How about if you play with the other boys?”
Even though she was calling with the word ‘Your Highness,’326Please respect copyright.PENANAjk9jOh5QWA
Lin Hu Xi could sense the coldness from deep within Feng Quan’s bone. Because326Please respect copyright.PENANAikv1r0SlJ8
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,326Please respect copyright.PENANAJlIe6yzLPP
I want to play with the other girls.”
Both rejection.
Lin Hu Xi could only watch helplessly as the two of them326Please respect copyright.PENANAPs4WxKKf8Q
headed to the group of girls. He looked in the direction of Princess Lin Mei326Please respect copyright.PENANAggouKdo0ZX
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 near326Please respect copyright.PENANA3h7SaLJYqM
an empty table, finding a random chair to sit. His dark eyes were watching the326Please respect copyright.PENANAspQzOBoVc5
three princesses who were staying at this place one by one.
He hadn’t returned to the Capital City in many years and he326Please respect copyright.PENANAlY474WR1Dg
knew very well that his father wished for his younger brother to be able to326Please respect copyright.PENANAO4mKPUULN0
marry one of the princess. Based on the age, his younger brother might be326Please respect copyright.PENANAwu6V6SVzd4
targeting either Lin Mei Ni or Feng Ning. But so far, he hadn’t been326Please respect copyright.PENANANCdP5i2Y4M
successful.
‘How tiring.’
Looking at how these girls had been learning how to bootlick326Please respect copyright.PENANAgzHItrhJ5I
at young age, Feng Ning was finding it harder and harder to maintain her sweet326Please respect copyright.PENANADNvqL7G7fa
and foolish smile. She really need to take a break.
“Sister, I want to sit down.” Feng Ning’s voice sounded a bit326Please respect copyright.PENANAqF7fUlT2iy
pleading.
Feng Quan looked at her younger sister and nodded her head.326Please respect copyright.PENANA7feQ9TGzNT
“In that case, please be careful, Sister. We wouldn’t want anything to happen326Please respect copyright.PENANAhV6k1rL4hA
to you.”
“Yes, I will be careful.”
Feng Ning sighed internally, knowing full well that her326Please respect copyright.PENANAJgGMcPwAkt
older sister must be hoping that something happened to her. She glanced around326Please respect copyright.PENANAB95SMnWrsa
and walked towards the tables. At this moment, she noticed that Lin Zi Xuan was326Please respect copyright.PENANADNImqWe5jf
sitting on the empty table, his dark eyes were watching his surroundings like a326Please respect copyright.PENANAG0Nrs0X65f
patient wolf that was waiting for its prey.
As their gaze met, Feng Ning felt that his gaze was somewhat326Please respect copyright.PENANAryHmBRPxJh
familiar. It was not like she had seen him before, but she had seen that type326Please respect copyright.PENANAg5eYMWcOWT
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 to326Please respect copyright.PENANAHaLgdOSKaU
survive, they would have to rely on their man if they wished to do anything. It326Please respect copyright.PENANAMTQbGynstv
was not like she didn’t want to be independent, but she realized that many326Please respect copyright.PENANAKV2Y75Z5zE
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,326Please respect copyright.PENANA69PkKUHmRw
there were a lot of things that she had to pay attention to, and most326Please respect copyright.PENANASKpEEd0QE4
importantly, being in the Imperial Family meant that they had to mind their326Please respect copyright.PENANAcSN5R0NNYQ
every action. It was tiring. There was never actually a time when she was not326Please respect copyright.PENANATJw0Oj1rOQ
watched by anyone.
Even at home, the servants would be watching her. They would326Please respect copyright.PENANAO89KiaWRpe
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 property326Please respect copyright.PENANAOmpYR8K2Px
because she was too young and those would only be given to her after she was326Please respect copyright.PENANA9OW2I04bpq
married as part of dowry.
As for marriage? There were only a few people of similar326Please respect copyright.PENANA8GJrCoU6C6
status whom her mother would consider.
Feng Ning originally planned to stay calm and composed,326Please respect copyright.PENANApWaeF22d0k
pulling the servants to her side with the most harmless and slow methods. She326Please respect copyright.PENANA2PDkiDhpha
didn’t want to be seen as a threat by anyone, keen on persevering her peaceful326Please respect copyright.PENANAgVElt2qkFw
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, is326Please respect copyright.PENANAzw4mlpkXZ6
it?’
