Lin Hu Xi was around 11 years old, but he had a proud look351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TBoKu1EFT
on his face as he greeted his aunt. Smiling yet not smiling, he performed his351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB6qGPVdPZ
greetings flawlessly.
Feng Ning watched everything from the back, amused by their351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJzVktdXj1
performances, but she said nothing. She had no place to even interfere and351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8JNJqlzEW
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 more351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHiqnWweF7
than someone who was staying at the shadow and being unnoticed. In the end, all351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH74dRVei9Z
that she could do was to watch as others interacted and showed off their351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyrNdRiZz1
skills.
‘I like this silence, though.’
With no one bothering her, Feng Ning was watching her mother351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryUkGuXBce
battle of words with the other Imperial Family members. She took the sip of the351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhldLSUo3F
tea while noticing that Feng Quan was trying hard to maintain her smile.
‘Did she notice someone?’ Feng Ning glanced to the side351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwuH7Mf5Ez
naturally and noticed a group of people were staying not far from them. Being351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCoIwVXCrL
able to sit in location near the Imperial Family only showed that their351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv29Jp0dPU
statuses were not bad.
Unfortunately, Feng Ning didn’t know everyone.
They would only introduce themselves later on when they351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGQgahgXEo
reached that segment.
“His Majesty, Her Majesty, and Her Highness Princess Mei Ni351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM87LGaivZ
had arrived.”
The moment the eunuch announced the Emperor’s arrival,351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXoPSC9k3j
everyone stood up from their chairs and kowtowed to the ground. Feng Ning351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt97p8p1Ip
followed their movement and noticed that the atmosphere turned tense almost351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8SKjSsplx
immediately. The stifling atmosphere reminded her of her school days when the351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR9A8Z3pih
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 the351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5859kvf2iL
same time, it carried hint of bloodlust that he didn’t even bother to conceal.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzzNj3fAjj
Some children were trembling and stifling their tears from the moment the351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9eOYegZsx
Emperor had arrived.
Feng Ning took a deep breath as she raised her head for a351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK8DBWkiRe
brief moment before lowering her head once more. She only took a brief look,351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhTetPY6pG
but she had seen the Emperor’s face. He didn’t look that much different351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0soVGYP3g
compared to her mother, around 60 to 70 percent similar. However, his eyes were351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMooZy1SOcK
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 was351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjZjaAccUF
meeting with someone who glanced at everyone here as if they owed billions to351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH6PmHESvS
him. It was not a nice feeling.
As for the Empress… she was a beautiful woman. However, she351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVlfeYeONq
never gave birth to any child for the Emperor and was probably nothing more351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbjrehbKzi
than a figurehead. However, the air that she exuded still gave out the word351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZB82jSMrB
authority.
Princess Lin Mei Ni was the only surviving younger351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjy9i7zAal
generation.
As for why Feng Ning called her that way, it was obviously351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKWHbKMD50
because she had heard that there were countless imperial concubines who had351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLhA8sST02
died in the past decade. Not to mention, there were also various attacks351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJokm19j57
directed at the children who were born for the Emperor that many of them didn’t351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZt1DASdQ8
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. That351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8nduykZuq
was quite an unfortunate luck for him.
Cruel and cold blooded. That was the only description that351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt7Vb4tovF
Feng Ning could give when she saw the Emperor.
“Today marks New Year and this time there are a lot of351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkQBPMcOgM
vassal kingdoms have sent their regards. This banquet is also to welcome them351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyKXhEM2JU
all.”
Ah right…
Lin Tang Kingdom was a powerful kingdom that also ‘claimed’351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ23sNz89g
many areas as their vassal. Those who didn’t want to obey were destroyed one by351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07pxvrFwfy
one until this time, where everyone was basically forced to follow them. With351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RzoPTWqgd
the power that Lin Tang Kingdom’s hold, Feng Ning had no doubt that this351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEAiVrXjyo
kingdom would be heading towards its peak soon.
Of course, that was only if the Emperor could hold onto his351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeuleU9xrD
chair.
‘What in the world am I thinking….’
Feng Ning lowered her head and focused on eating the food in351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYL7pIJDFt
front of her. For some reasons, she couldn’t help but think that the peace she351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchuQYEliOw
had right now was nothing more than being superficial. It was a fragile peace351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZrTUG4Cwb
that could be broken so easily.
“Imperial Cousins.”
Hearing the cheerful voice, Feng Ning’s body stiffened351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ydx9z68SP
slightly. She raised her head and made sure that she put on a blank look as she351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yUyHqnSnP
looked at Princess Mei Ni who came towards them.
Lin Mei Ni.
The only child of the current Emperor who survived. It was351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ8QqHhuXZ
needless to say that her mother was a favored concubine and that she managed to351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6Mtixg1If
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 being351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLjd8mS6Xm
only 7 years old. Nevertheless, Feng Ning recognized the gaze that Lin Mei Ni351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zxAHls4td
held when she was looking in their direction that appeared for a split second.
Disgust.
Feng Ning pushed her feelings down and showed a foolish351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR8M7ZtStz
smile. “Imperial Cousin Mei Ni.”
Beside her, Feng Quan and Feng Zhu Liu also suppressed their351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs6GwNGup8
expression as they greeted Lin Mei Ni politely.
“This is the first time we meet with each other. Imperial351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOiFhbbkJw
Mother taught me that I should be polite, so I have prepared presents for all351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDHX6a8b0g
of you,” Lin Mei Ni said with sweet tone.
Feng Ning was utterly speechless. Did this Lin Mei Ni think351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVMxnXWGYz
of herself as an elder? The way she conducted herself would make her look as if351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a9aon25ph
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 prepare351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD9WbBKoJz
anything for you.” Feng Ning looked troubled.
Feng Quan’s eyes burned with fury while Feng Zhi Liu was351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRZaCjMhXk
more interested in what kind of present they were.
Lin Mei Ni smiled, her expression still looked like that of351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhJsiVw4Rf
a sweet girl. “It’s fine. I’m the one who want to stay close with all of you.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOclYZFeN0
Do you perhaps dislike the presents?”
“Not at all, Imperial Cousin.” Feng Quan forced a smile.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SuQL9OtuQ
However, she was older than Lin Mei Ni, so how could she not understand the351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91pNrzA9zW
intention of her cousin? It was as if she was telling them that she would351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9Pztccivy
always be above them in terms of seniority.
She was infuriated, but she couldn’t possibly lash out in351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8GNI2RUR4
this kind of place.
Feng Ning and Feng Zhu Liu also expressed that they didn’t351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iJ6TtO7uO
mind as they accepted the present.
“That’s good.” Lin Mei Ni curtsied and didn’t stay there any351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtPxpLgAjR
longer before returning to her parents. It was time for them to watch the351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVCzHuifix
performance and to make sure that they all enjoyed the night.
Feng Quan snorted as her grip tightened. It was clear that351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszpxdCSDh1
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 as351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6A14Ug1dq
smiled faintly. In the past, she often watched historical drama and always felt351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDevRqMlgr
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 like351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbB3SLbPvW
that. But if they wanted to survive, they had no other choice but to grow up to351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghAQiYtk8V
be the scheming ones.
If they failed, they would die.
As simple as that.
‘The most glorious place is also the dirtiest place.’
