Feng Ning hated these kind of banquets.
She was thankful that she had the skill of putting on a373Please respect copyright.PENANA49ZSSZRgHR
blank and innocent face due to the fact that it was her natural face. After373Please respect copyright.PENANATnLFVr8UFS
all, in her past life, she was so gullible that she ended up destroying herself373Please respect copyright.PENANAdTjw6LKWzi
because of her kindness.
The others didn’t seem to be willing to talk to her that373Please respect copyright.PENANAv7PfZ78ARu
much here. Even her elder sister, Feng Quan was busy to talk with the other373Please respect copyright.PENANAdY2pLUOn26
girls and didn’t have time to care for her. As for Feng Zhi Liu, she was too373Please respect copyright.PENANAV9CtsOf1eB
young to make trouble.
‘I’ll walk around now.’
Now that the Emperor had left the scene towards the garden,373Please respect copyright.PENANA5eHhVEMItf
only half of the people stayed here. Most of them were the children and the373Please respect copyright.PENANAoeSYSxKFXu
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. She373Please respect copyright.PENANAAkZaCKPmu5
raised her head, noticing that the one who talked was Lin Han Xing. Because he373Please respect copyright.PENANARId5Mb24wo
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 nodded373Please respect copyright.PENANArB6zEr3nin
faintly. It seemed that he didn’t seem to care that much about what his father373Please respect copyright.PENANAd8kR9rbWob
thought.
Lin Han Xing snorted. “Come with me, Hu Xi.”
“Yes, Father.”
As he watched them left, Lin Zi Xuan’s eyes darkened373Please respect copyright.PENANAccebvZGHhO
considerably. However, he didn’t leave his seat and merely played with the cup373Please respect copyright.PENANA0GXIo7OU4W
in his hand. He raised his head towards the three young girls who sat not far373Please respect copyright.PENANAMDj0WmLKxO
from him, one was busy talking with others, another one was carried by the373Please respect copyright.PENANAkaMzn2294K
servant, and the last one was walking towards him.
…Walking towards him?
“Imperial Cousin Zi Xuan.” A soft and childish voice rang in373Please respect copyright.PENANAflvE4wQDk6
his ear. The tone was low and gentle, giving off refreshing feeling. Yet at the373Please respect copyright.PENANAU3A7SMslS9
same time, the voice carried the hint of carefulness, one that shouldn’t have373Please respect copyright.PENANAtxw7TPmDaR
appeared in such a young girl.
Lin Zi Xuan lowered his head and looked at the young girl373Please respect copyright.PENANAVLj3OxtNPh
who was only 6 years old in front of him. “Princess Ning.”
Feng Ning’s lips twitched slightly. She was certainly not373Please respect copyright.PENANAVQCPnuwTZ3
used with being addressed like that. Even though her servants sometimes called373Please respect copyright.PENANAkojr13gOb9
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 walk373Please respect copyright.PENANArcWB2uHWkW
around?” Feng Ning asked while tilting her head, looking like an innocent young373Please respect copyright.PENANAKqhV0YGERU
girl.
Lin Zi Xuan was staring at the young girl in front of him.373Please respect copyright.PENANA1588iTBiNK
“Father didn’t want me to create any trouble.”
“I see.”
Feng Ning could sense that this prince was keeping his373Please respect copyright.PENANAFcnyF9kh9F
distance, so she didn’t want to try probing him anymore. She turned around,373Please respect copyright.PENANAH2e2swOx4N
right at the time Feng Quan was looking for her. “Sister, let’s go to the373Please respect copyright.PENANAxYRvao6Zzp
garden. The others said that outside is very beautiful.”
“Yes, Sister.”
The two of them walked out while Feng Zhi Liu was still373Please respect copyright.PENANAcuTLkWiKU0
resting in her maidservants’ hand. She was still three years old, so it was373Please respect copyright.PENANA9G2N5j1LJP
only natural that she would feel sleepy most of the time. Even her twin brother373Please respect copyright.PENANANQi0YFBtwW
was not in much better condition under their mother’s hand.
Lin Zi Xuan stayed still in his place when he saw his father373Please respect copyright.PENANAuXSAUZUgmE
went back with Prime Minister Fang Hou Zheng. His father’s face was dark as he373Please respect copyright.PENANATKBCBSAV5n
pointed at him. “Go to the garden and accompany the princesses!”
“Yes, Father.”
Reaching the garden, Lin Zi Xuan could instantly see that373Please respect copyright.PENANAVLp3FfTEEV
his half younger brother, Lin Hu Xi, was also talking with the two princess.373Please respect copyright.PENANAy38LC3VcxC
However, it was clear that Feng Quan refused to get close to him and even gave373Please respect copyright.PENANAHvxSlIN3dY
him polite distance.
The two of them were more or less of the same age and Feng373Please respect copyright.PENANA2e03HFX41V
Quan was someone who had learned etiquette more, so she refused.
“Are you not willing to play with me, Cousin Quan?” Lin Hu373Please respect copyright.PENANAuZqRuOlYYe
Xi asked in low tone.
Feng Quan was smiling without mirth. “I’m afraid that it’ll373Please respect copyright.PENANAa6DIEQiN34
be inappropriate, Your Highness. How about if you play with the other boys?”
Even though she was calling with the word ‘Your Highness,’373Please respect copyright.PENANAGpHgThLFZZ
Lin Hu Xi could sense the coldness from deep within Feng Quan’s bone. Because373Please respect copyright.PENANAos541QEfKK
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,373Please respect copyright.PENANAW4NJodg2GG
I want to play with the other girls.”
Both rejection.
Lin Hu Xi could only watch helplessly as the two of them373Please respect copyright.PENANAZfUS80QSBk
headed to the group of girls. He looked in the direction of Princess Lin Mei373Please respect copyright.PENANAv8OqyleOST
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 near373Please respect copyright.PENANAw2dW22M4Ih
an empty table, finding a random chair to sit. His dark eyes were watching the373Please respect copyright.PENANAM3aLvw8qz5
three princesses who were staying at this place one by one.
He hadn’t returned to the Capital City in many years and he373Please respect copyright.PENANAaHUGYxu2jD
knew very well that his father wished for his younger brother to be able to373Please respect copyright.PENANAyg6tYpR571
marry one of the princess. Based on the age, his younger brother might be373Please respect copyright.PENANA8NLv25LYDX
targeting either Lin Mei Ni or Feng Ning. But so far, he hadn’t been373Please respect copyright.PENANAOnpmcKlNmz
successful.
‘How tiring.’
Looking at how these girls had been learning how to bootlick373Please respect copyright.PENANAtLPq7Xt8bE
at young age, Feng Ning was finding it harder and harder to maintain her sweet373Please respect copyright.PENANAozqymXwZ4V
and foolish smile. She really need to take a break.
“Sister, I want to sit down.” Feng Ning’s voice sounded a bit373Please respect copyright.PENANAvkQm3eucsU
pleading.
Feng Quan looked at her younger sister and nodded her head.373Please respect copyright.PENANAzGSNcB56nn
“In that case, please be careful, Sister. We wouldn’t want anything to happen373Please respect copyright.PENANAg13yUe6EoN
to you.”
“Yes, I will be careful.”
Feng Ning sighed internally, knowing full well that her373Please respect copyright.PENANAm7KFQYSOUD
older sister must be hoping that something happened to her. She glanced around373Please respect copyright.PENANA5IbsLnJaWl
and walked towards the tables. At this moment, she noticed that Lin Zi Xuan was373Please respect copyright.PENANAnz3QJzYYeo
sitting on the empty table, his dark eyes were watching his surroundings like a373Please respect copyright.PENANAEl2W4Ov00Z
patient wolf that was waiting for its prey.
As their gaze met, Feng Ning felt that his gaze was somewhat373Please respect copyright.PENANAqkNGIHedAm
familiar. It was not like she had seen him before, but she had seen that type373Please respect copyright.PENANAwh5nj3JpqP
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 to373Please respect copyright.PENANAeM7wIBU2wO
survive, they would have to rely on their man if they wished to do anything. It373Please respect copyright.PENANA3McyaLx0eQ
was not like she didn’t want to be independent, but she realized that many373Please respect copyright.PENANAj8RKBdYgQV
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,373Please respect copyright.PENANAtlv5HC0NI9
there were a lot of things that she had to pay attention to, and most373Please respect copyright.PENANAmssW2eJtwk
importantly, being in the Imperial Family meant that they had to mind their373Please respect copyright.PENANATr3hxKgfdp
every action. It was tiring. There was never actually a time when she was not373Please respect copyright.PENANAY2WDH84ldZ
watched by anyone.
Even at home, the servants would be watching her. They would373Please respect copyright.PENANAcBimrchYxY
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 property373Please respect copyright.PENANA6oqS99RLnD
because she was too young and those would only be given to her after she was373Please respect copyright.PENANAy4Yb5R6LyQ
married as part of dowry.
As for marriage? There were only a few people of similar373Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ1G5r7EMA
status whom her mother would consider.
Feng Ning originally planned to stay calm and composed,373Please respect copyright.PENANALRqi1NzMqI
pulling the servants to her side with the most harmless and slow methods. She373Please respect copyright.PENANAQWkB37I1DM
didn’t want to be seen as a threat by anyone, keen on persevering her peaceful373Please respect copyright.PENANAwJ6bqEfpPw
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, is373Please respect copyright.PENANA75Hpcw8vw6
it?’
