Lin Hu Xi was around 11 years old, but he had a proud look513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz25sLGV5W
on his face as he greeted his aunt. Smiling yet not smiling, he performed his513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaGl6PErLq
greetings flawlessly.
Feng Ning watched everything from the back, amused by their513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJugyndtILm
performances, but she said nothing. She had no place to even interfere and513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eCWGltet8
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 more513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWO0hnnAkT
than someone who was staying at the shadow and being unnoticed. In the end, all513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo59ToLxbz
that she could do was to watch as others interacted and showed off their513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvCOQXobwq
skills.
‘I like this silence, though.’
With no one bothering her, Feng Ning was watching her mother513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2Ua4gqA9Z
battle of words with the other Imperial Family members. She took the sip of the513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBb8FD2oB3
tea while noticing that Feng Quan was trying hard to maintain her smile.
‘Did she notice someone?’ Feng Ning glanced to the side513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4PpHML4pl
naturally and noticed a group of people were staying not far from them. Being513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGEp0NEwXW
able to sit in location near the Imperial Family only showed that their513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNTn8OLhjU
statuses were not bad.
Unfortunately, Feng Ning didn’t know everyone.
They would only introduce themselves later on when they513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8fUXGb1wA
reached that segment.
“His Majesty, Her Majesty, and Her Highness Princess Mei Ni513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH8g4eXDvy
had arrived.”
The moment the eunuch announced the Emperor’s arrival,513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD9omV0z8Z
everyone stood up from their chairs and kowtowed to the ground. Feng Ning513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraBuBOjRAj
followed their movement and noticed that the atmosphere turned tense almost513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosFhenMeit
immediately. The stifling atmosphere reminded her of her school days when the513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuPSihNuP7
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 the513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pC7TS9ugD
same time, it carried hint of bloodlust that he didn’t even bother to conceal.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuz6lQIqvj
Some children were trembling and stifling their tears from the moment the513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQIyvdstNg
Emperor had arrived.
Feng Ning took a deep breath as she raised her head for a513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1RHwXOz52
brief moment before lowering her head once more. She only took a brief look,513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YQ1Ofo1Sp
but she had seen the Emperor’s face. He didn’t look that much different513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagGY4wvJ3z
compared to her mother, around 60 to 70 percent similar. However, his eyes were513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31alimlolq
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 was513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12DL7kvnWl
meeting with someone who glanced at everyone here as if they owed billions to513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYCCh0ChjU
him. It was not a nice feeling.
As for the Empress… she was a beautiful woman. However, she513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmYDRMvsQz
never gave birth to any child for the Emperor and was probably nothing more513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUwGBIhOse
than a figurehead. However, the air that she exuded still gave out the word513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZeDCYHLZK
authority.
Princess Lin Mei Ni was the only surviving younger513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORiKXR6A9O
generation.
As for why Feng Ning called her that way, it was obviously513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQDrFv4zY4
because she had heard that there were countless imperial concubines who had513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVlNj1vP9G
died in the past decade. Not to mention, there were also various attacks513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EhSuLYlVa
directed at the children who were born for the Emperor that many of them didn’t513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtI8HtzVve
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. That513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaicuZ3Qoc
was quite an unfortunate luck for him.
Cruel and cold blooded. That was the only description that513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQxXL59idz
Feng Ning could give when she saw the Emperor.
“Today marks New Year and this time there are a lot of513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrwSF8nNAs
vassal kingdoms have sent their regards. This banquet is also to welcome them513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PZCf75QjD
all.”
Ah right…
Lin Tang Kingdom was a powerful kingdom that also ‘claimed’513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFgIZrHs7s
many areas as their vassal. Those who didn’t want to obey were destroyed one by513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMEDEF59Wy
one until this time, where everyone was basically forced to follow them. With513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gLfD3eUTU
the power that Lin Tang Kingdom’s hold, Feng Ning had no doubt that this513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBWycpKs1x
kingdom would be heading towards its peak soon.
Of course, that was only if the Emperor could hold onto his513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81O7zCfkA4
chair.
‘What in the world am I thinking….’
Feng Ning lowered her head and focused on eating the food in513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoKPN1LZLB
front of her. For some reasons, she couldn’t help but think that the peace she513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuuffamXwO
had right now was nothing more than being superficial. It was a fragile peace513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdE8Sdze9H
that could be broken so easily.
“Imperial Cousins.”
Hearing the cheerful voice, Feng Ning’s body stiffened513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnrBku083L
slightly. She raised her head and made sure that she put on a blank look as she513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g6OxAkJSo
looked at Princess Mei Ni who came towards them.
Lin Mei Ni.
The only child of the current Emperor who survived. It was513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FEXojsN7L
needless to say that her mother was a favored concubine and that she managed to513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoUk64UTr8
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 being513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3p50uw5Sw
only 7 years old. Nevertheless, Feng Ning recognized the gaze that Lin Mei Ni513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOvycCK9fy
held when she was looking in their direction that appeared for a split second.
Disgust.
Feng Ning pushed her feelings down and showed a foolish513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB4soY3yhb
smile. “Imperial Cousin Mei Ni.”
Beside her, Feng Quan and Feng Zhu Liu also suppressed their513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4mD9TTrSr
expression as they greeted Lin Mei Ni politely.
“This is the first time we meet with each other. Imperial513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWvMzl76Hz
Mother taught me that I should be polite, so I have prepared presents for all513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4nOkfuTcL
of you,” Lin Mei Ni said with sweet tone.
Feng Ning was utterly speechless. Did this Lin Mei Ni think513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvM6HPhnts
of herself as an elder? The way she conducted herself would make her look as if513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliNpopwJxO
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 prepare513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2BVqLuAPR
anything for you.” Feng Ning looked troubled.
Feng Quan’s eyes burned with fury while Feng Zhi Liu was513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uTapC0gpM
more interested in what kind of present they were.
Lin Mei Ni smiled, her expression still looked like that of513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55rsKulfZx
a sweet girl. “It’s fine. I’m the one who want to stay close with all of you.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC0uJQZtbq
Do you perhaps dislike the presents?”
“Not at all, Imperial Cousin.” Feng Quan forced a smile.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GydEW23m6
However, she was older than Lin Mei Ni, so how could she not understand the513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQfJD0NRJ7
intention of her cousin? It was as if she was telling them that she would513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknzcGII3cT
always be above them in terms of seniority.
She was infuriated, but she couldn’t possibly lash out in513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEGrq8TnAp
this kind of place.
Feng Ning and Feng Zhu Liu also expressed that they didn’t513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefeKDhinwL
mind as they accepted the present.
“That’s good.” Lin Mei Ni curtsied and didn’t stay there any513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ9ofbu2YC
longer before returning to her parents. It was time for them to watch the513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUUSrKUvvr
performance and to make sure that they all enjoyed the night.
Feng Quan snorted as her grip tightened. It was clear that513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bmci9o686
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 as513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAIPjckzxM
smiled faintly. In the past, she often watched historical drama and always felt513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIevj52Rbm
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 like513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uvoyYPoyZ
that. But if they wanted to survive, they had no other choice but to grow up to513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagu0EHraFI
be the scheming ones.
If they failed, they would die.
As simple as that.
‘The most glorious place is also the dirtiest place.’
