Feng Ning hated these kind of banquets.
She was thankful that she had the skill of putting on a503Please respect copyright.PENANAbq3YWqha64
blank and innocent face due to the fact that it was her natural face. After503Please respect copyright.PENANACPd2GCC5Sl
all, in her past life, she was so gullible that she ended up destroying herself503Please respect copyright.PENANAGzNi2ZmFdY
because of her kindness.
The others didn’t seem to be willing to talk to her that503Please respect copyright.PENANAg8H6tUZZFf
much here. Even her elder sister, Feng Quan was busy to talk with the other503Please respect copyright.PENANAJAcz6qq7jl
girls and didn’t have time to care for her. As for Feng Zhi Liu, she was too503Please respect copyright.PENANAP60HZdHSpn
young to make trouble.
‘I’ll walk around now.’
Now that the Emperor had left the scene towards the garden,503Please respect copyright.PENANAfl8JdkBavB
only half of the people stayed here. Most of them were the children and the503Please respect copyright.PENANA5cRMOZfPB1
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. She503Please respect copyright.PENANA2omUr7KCRJ
raised her head, noticing that the one who talked was Lin Han Xing. Because he503Please respect copyright.PENANAskrqgu4CW3
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 nodded503Please respect copyright.PENANAvdvORUUiQf
faintly. It seemed that he didn’t seem to care that much about what his father503Please respect copyright.PENANACxJEidLyLD
thought.
Lin Han Xing snorted. “Come with me, Hu Xi.”
“Yes, Father.”
As he watched them left, Lin Zi Xuan’s eyes darkened503Please respect copyright.PENANAkNUXWPORHX
considerably. However, he didn’t leave his seat and merely played with the cup503Please respect copyright.PENANAIlodVFQ5tk
in his hand. He raised his head towards the three young girls who sat not far503Please respect copyright.PENANA5nSw9gFihE
from him, one was busy talking with others, another one was carried by the503Please respect copyright.PENANANQmldDWtAK
servant, and the last one was walking towards him.
…Walking towards him?
“Imperial Cousin Zi Xuan.” A soft and childish voice rang in503Please respect copyright.PENANAUbZWQaIvY1
his ear. The tone was low and gentle, giving off refreshing feeling. Yet at the503Please respect copyright.PENANAbypT35Eyqk
same time, the voice carried the hint of carefulness, one that shouldn’t have503Please respect copyright.PENANAH1niY5Ve79
appeared in such a young girl.
Lin Zi Xuan lowered his head and looked at the young girl503Please respect copyright.PENANADiNTYdksz9
who was only 6 years old in front of him. “Princess Ning.”
Feng Ning’s lips twitched slightly. She was certainly not503Please respect copyright.PENANAuGv9sNOMIB
used with being addressed like that. Even though her servants sometimes called503Please respect copyright.PENANAd6frmz51ve
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 walk503Please respect copyright.PENANAlpWSq5va6X
around?” Feng Ning asked while tilting her head, looking like an innocent young503Please respect copyright.PENANAva2O9YtIP8
girl.
Lin Zi Xuan was staring at the young girl in front of him.503Please respect copyright.PENANAzJnv3kXW0k
“Father didn’t want me to create any trouble.”
“I see.”
Feng Ning could sense that this prince was keeping his503Please respect copyright.PENANA7wwpZapV6i
distance, so she didn’t want to try probing him anymore. She turned around,503Please respect copyright.PENANA9nFPkY3ewg
right at the time Feng Quan was looking for her. “Sister, let’s go to the503Please respect copyright.PENANAgGSa70C34Z
garden. The others said that outside is very beautiful.”
“Yes, Sister.”
The two of them walked out while Feng Zhi Liu was still503Please respect copyright.PENANAaJ7cahi38L
resting in her maidservants’ hand. She was still three years old, so it was503Please respect copyright.PENANAcTV1J9i7I7
only natural that she would feel sleepy most of the time. Even her twin brother503Please respect copyright.PENANAUPbUQZfzlG
was not in much better condition under their mother’s hand.
Lin Zi Xuan stayed still in his place when he saw his father503Please respect copyright.PENANATkHT9hsvV2
went back with Prime Minister Fang Hou Zheng. His father’s face was dark as he503Please respect copyright.PENANAQrxUsUPQbv
pointed at him. “Go to the garden and accompany the princesses!”
“Yes, Father.”
Reaching the garden, Lin Zi Xuan could instantly see that503Please respect copyright.PENANA3X1jnOd0fU
his half younger brother, Lin Hu Xi, was also talking with the two princess.503Please respect copyright.PENANA9B51f2M4xk
However, it was clear that Feng Quan refused to get close to him and even gave503Please respect copyright.PENANAl1wQ4bO86z
him polite distance.
The two of them were more or less of the same age and Feng503Please respect copyright.PENANAZletJFPXbi
Quan was someone who had learned etiquette more, so she refused.
“Are you not willing to play with me, Cousin Quan?” Lin Hu503Please respect copyright.PENANARrEfUPlfwE
Xi asked in low tone.
Feng Quan was smiling without mirth. “I’m afraid that it’ll503Please respect copyright.PENANAS9kz1XpZUk
be inappropriate, Your Highness. How about if you play with the other boys?”
Even though she was calling with the word ‘Your Highness,’503Please respect copyright.PENANAOTxnXQUwZL
Lin Hu Xi could sense the coldness from deep within Feng Quan’s bone. Because503Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ1ZeEIRj1
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,503Please respect copyright.PENANAqr1xCsXak4
I want to play with the other girls.”
Both rejection.
Lin Hu Xi could only watch helplessly as the two of them503Please respect copyright.PENANAuyKX4fdknB
headed to the group of girls. He looked in the direction of Princess Lin Mei503Please respect copyright.PENANA6g2XkxEuoL
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 near503Please respect copyright.PENANA2wS4R2oGtr
an empty table, finding a random chair to sit. His dark eyes were watching the503Please respect copyright.PENANAiMquW4jT0I
three princesses who were staying at this place one by one.
He hadn’t returned to the Capital City in many years and he503Please respect copyright.PENANAbU84DU96eV
knew very well that his father wished for his younger brother to be able to503Please respect copyright.PENANAJei43CKsEp
marry one of the princess. Based on the age, his younger brother might be503Please respect copyright.PENANAMOIIwXTZDW
targeting either Lin Mei Ni or Feng Ning. But so far, he hadn’t been503Please respect copyright.PENANAl2ULszmjhE
successful.
‘How tiring.’
Looking at how these girls had been learning how to bootlick503Please respect copyright.PENANAQBvtKWgSoP
at young age, Feng Ning was finding it harder and harder to maintain her sweet503Please respect copyright.PENANAH5l4nwmTaG
and foolish smile. She really need to take a break.
“Sister, I want to sit down.” Feng Ning’s voice sounded a bit503Please respect copyright.PENANAyzMjhQkrxv
pleading.
Feng Quan looked at her younger sister and nodded her head.503Please respect copyright.PENANAjo48yaK5G4
“In that case, please be careful, Sister. We wouldn’t want anything to happen503Please respect copyright.PENANAF77BX2tmbT
to you.”
“Yes, I will be careful.”
Feng Ning sighed internally, knowing full well that her503Please respect copyright.PENANAUvpVCJSzHT
older sister must be hoping that something happened to her. She glanced around503Please respect copyright.PENANAlcUgc5LzbW
and walked towards the tables. At this moment, she noticed that Lin Zi Xuan was503Please respect copyright.PENANAP6deEYFwUi
sitting on the empty table, his dark eyes were watching his surroundings like a503Please respect copyright.PENANAAEVCuSXaAp
patient wolf that was waiting for its prey.
As their gaze met, Feng Ning felt that his gaze was somewhat503Please respect copyright.PENANAtRyKI8AfGz
familiar. It was not like she had seen him before, but she had seen that type503Please respect copyright.PENANAelH3dnGvbh
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 to503Please respect copyright.PENANA92Ha85TebR
survive, they would have to rely on their man if they wished to do anything. It503Please respect copyright.PENANAuUAm5HJo1v
was not like she didn’t want to be independent, but she realized that many503Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6M2tBfSA0
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,503Please respect copyright.PENANAWKvhPLajqC
there were a lot of things that she had to pay attention to, and most503Please respect copyright.PENANABO8obgJv9s
importantly, being in the Imperial Family meant that they had to mind their503Please respect copyright.PENANAfL3HG662bZ
every action. It was tiring. There was never actually a time when she was not503Please respect copyright.PENANANVDYcqJ1ul
watched by anyone.
Even at home, the servants would be watching her. They would503Please respect copyright.PENANAXRCfhvGXcI
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 property503Please respect copyright.PENANADOrVRFZrOL
because she was too young and those would only be given to her after she was503Please respect copyright.PENANA2dnqT9Krze
married as part of dowry.
As for marriage? There were only a few people of similar503Please respect copyright.PENANAsad0JMteva
status whom her mother would consider.
Feng Ning originally planned to stay calm and composed,503Please respect copyright.PENANANmlQv3jeHd
pulling the servants to her side with the most harmless and slow methods. She503Please respect copyright.PENANAN6FwMip2MG
didn’t want to be seen as a threat by anyone, keen on persevering her peaceful503Please respect copyright.PENANAUupI9roPSe
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, is503Please respect copyright.PENANApdvHVa5sdd
it?’
