Lin Hu Xi was around 11 years old, but he had a proud look669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzek0eMq5z
on his face as he greeted his aunt. Smiling yet not smiling, he performed his669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ofv5RDKak
greetings flawlessly.
Feng Ning watched everything from the back, amused by their669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy18OkjmC2V
performances, but she said nothing. She had no place to even interfere and669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWF1CEgmOb
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 more669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms3YpyxgyT
than someone who was staying at the shadow and being unnoticed. In the end, all669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xf9XQKiqz
that she could do was to watch as others interacted and showed off their669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGwyqb2lG7
skills.
‘I like this silence, though.’
With no one bothering her, Feng Ning was watching her mother669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVJ2lAi80Y
battle of words with the other Imperial Family members. She took the sip of the669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpnhUeMpII
tea while noticing that Feng Quan was trying hard to maintain her smile.
‘Did she notice someone?’ Feng Ning glanced to the side669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GF3YbWJdM
naturally and noticed a group of people were staying not far from them. Being669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bvJcPV40r
able to sit in location near the Imperial Family only showed that their669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzjXttH7lO
statuses were not bad.
Unfortunately, Feng Ning didn’t know everyone.
They would only introduce themselves later on when they669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AbDILUgVX
reached that segment.
“His Majesty, Her Majesty, and Her Highness Princess Mei Ni669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6zpqd7fq8
had arrived.”
The moment the eunuch announced the Emperor’s arrival,669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLMWK7rNfH
everyone stood up from their chairs and kowtowed to the ground. Feng Ning669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YcElVWFQI
followed their movement and noticed that the atmosphere turned tense almost669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6Zxm7wyAb
immediately. The stifling atmosphere reminded her of her school days when the669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbAtdtDEgD
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 the669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoCSJhP2gX
same time, it carried hint of bloodlust that he didn’t even bother to conceal.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFrHTZr2nZ
Some children were trembling and stifling their tears from the moment the669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJPok0Vdzw
Emperor had arrived.
Feng Ning took a deep breath as she raised her head for a669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD59Ft9tI9c
brief moment before lowering her head once more. She only took a brief look,669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne8b7eWSmm
but she had seen the Emperor’s face. He didn’t look that much different669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiQ28FKxOO
compared to her mother, around 60 to 70 percent similar. However, his eyes were669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdIDP9CXRy
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 was669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4vDrW64Qr
meeting with someone who glanced at everyone here as if they owed billions to669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w9QA4WkoS
him. It was not a nice feeling.
As for the Empress… she was a beautiful woman. However, she669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSvcvc5VOV
never gave birth to any child for the Emperor and was probably nothing more669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGDrIXSqd3
than a figurehead. However, the air that she exuded still gave out the word669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRcdHlaToF
authority.
Princess Lin Mei Ni was the only surviving younger669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyxCrSE9IX
generation.
As for why Feng Ning called her that way, it was obviously669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZZOh2f8r1
because she had heard that there were countless imperial concubines who had669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZZmakbQOJ
died in the past decade. Not to mention, there were also various attacks669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDVpiRtkpL
directed at the children who were born for the Emperor that many of them didn’t669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcoLExP0ZP
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. That669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVad8SbRxi
was quite an unfortunate luck for him.
Cruel and cold blooded. That was the only description that669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u0JfdBNi3
Feng Ning could give when she saw the Emperor.
“Today marks New Year and this time there are a lot of669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XZAWUa6cQ
vassal kingdoms have sent their regards. This banquet is also to welcome them669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F9bw22XUu
all.”
Ah right…
Lin Tang Kingdom was a powerful kingdom that also ‘claimed’669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz81bMh7nw
many areas as their vassal. Those who didn’t want to obey were destroyed one by669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFBvJTp9aa
one until this time, where everyone was basically forced to follow them. With669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKXK7MKUbw
the power that Lin Tang Kingdom’s hold, Feng Ning had no doubt that this669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2nggjrcwn
kingdom would be heading towards its peak soon.
Of course, that was only if the Emperor could hold onto his669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxYoirs6Zo
chair.
‘What in the world am I thinking….’
Feng Ning lowered her head and focused on eating the food in669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHqqL1RpkN
front of her. For some reasons, she couldn’t help but think that the peace she669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTDpESDvSt
had right now was nothing more than being superficial. It was a fragile peace669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwlhuEmJdl
that could be broken so easily.
“Imperial Cousins.”
Hearing the cheerful voice, Feng Ning’s body stiffened669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGQpN0PbQ2
slightly. She raised her head and made sure that she put on a blank look as she669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEDCYg74nE
looked at Princess Mei Ni who came towards them.
Lin Mei Ni.
The only child of the current Emperor who survived. It was669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vBKpvA7No
needless to say that her mother was a favored concubine and that she managed to669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLtR3PjIfL
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 being669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGSEK7MFEH
only 7 years old. Nevertheless, Feng Ning recognized the gaze that Lin Mei Ni669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgxeXVjRQB
held when she was looking in their direction that appeared for a split second.
Disgust.
Feng Ning pushed her feelings down and showed a foolish669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HvBLTAA8C
smile. “Imperial Cousin Mei Ni.”
Beside her, Feng Quan and Feng Zhu Liu also suppressed their669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ231XnaTi9v
expression as they greeted Lin Mei Ni politely.
“This is the first time we meet with each other. Imperial669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xPUF44376
Mother taught me that I should be polite, so I have prepared presents for all669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOblL9ALvKP
of you,” Lin Mei Ni said with sweet tone.
Feng Ning was utterly speechless. Did this Lin Mei Ni think669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr5i6xEuiQ
of herself as an elder? The way she conducted herself would make her look as if669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheor8I2YlC
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 prepare669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrSVFjWJGc
anything for you.” Feng Ning looked troubled.
Feng Quan’s eyes burned with fury while Feng Zhi Liu was669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveAtJEp6fO
more interested in what kind of present they were.
Lin Mei Ni smiled, her expression still looked like that of669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxV3gAY7Hy
a sweet girl. “It’s fine. I’m the one who want to stay close with all of you.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVciEIIMcni
Do you perhaps dislike the presents?”
“Not at all, Imperial Cousin.” Feng Quan forced a smile.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCKMUPflQ8
However, she was older than Lin Mei Ni, so how could she not understand the669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmseyCb4jgO
intention of her cousin? It was as if she was telling them that she would669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJLyoHXlEg
always be above them in terms of seniority.
She was infuriated, but she couldn’t possibly lash out in669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeZTrqSM5V
this kind of place.
Feng Ning and Feng Zhu Liu also expressed that they didn’t669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mOJ88t4Gi
mind as they accepted the present.
“That’s good.” Lin Mei Ni curtsied and didn’t stay there any669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92g9wI9RSx
longer before returning to her parents. It was time for them to watch the669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH91c4QiJkQ
performance and to make sure that they all enjoyed the night.
Feng Quan snorted as her grip tightened. It was clear that669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuzUXZDajT
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 as669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Odx1DgCBK
smiled faintly. In the past, she often watched historical drama and always felt669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4YyTKhF8f
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 like669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t9n92xVLt
that. But if they wanted to survive, they had no other choice but to grow up to669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSPtZo90AH
be the scheming ones.
If they failed, they would die.
As simple as that.
‘The most glorious place is also the dirtiest place.’
