Feng Ning hated these kind of banquets.
She was thankful that she had the skill of putting on a320Please respect copyright.PENANAEl0HeGxqTu
blank and innocent face due to the fact that it was her natural face. After320Please respect copyright.PENANA8NSMPKuaQI
all, in her past life, she was so gullible that she ended up destroying herself320Please respect copyright.PENANAV0bmOW8wgv
because of her kindness.
The others didn’t seem to be willing to talk to her that320Please respect copyright.PENANAJBfVLkX8WC
much here. Even her elder sister, Feng Quan was busy to talk with the other320Please respect copyright.PENANAezBN4AhNqc
girls and didn’t have time to care for her. As for Feng Zhi Liu, she was too320Please respect copyright.PENANA38kXFgsD9c
young to make trouble.
‘I’ll walk around now.’
Now that the Emperor had left the scene towards the garden,320Please respect copyright.PENANAwHvPa5OyGY
only half of the people stayed here. Most of them were the children and the320Please respect copyright.PENANAA76Ka7POTL
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. She320Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ49YWHuSm
raised her head, noticing that the one who talked was Lin Han Xing. Because he320Please respect copyright.PENANATYVcsDZibr
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 nodded320Please respect copyright.PENANAgKnunvaOna
faintly. It seemed that he didn’t seem to care that much about what his father320Please respect copyright.PENANAIiGEeMv1Ag
thought.
Lin Han Xing snorted. “Come with me, Hu Xi.”
“Yes, Father.”
As he watched them left, Lin Zi Xuan’s eyes darkened320Please respect copyright.PENANAZrsYSd6TcM
considerably. However, he didn’t leave his seat and merely played with the cup320Please respect copyright.PENANAw1PVMBwPll
in his hand. He raised his head towards the three young girls who sat not far320Please respect copyright.PENANAW5UopQpz6K
from him, one was busy talking with others, another one was carried by the320Please respect copyright.PENANAorLnP44Kwq
servant, and the last one was walking towards him.
…Walking towards him?
“Imperial Cousin Zi Xuan.” A soft and childish voice rang in320Please respect copyright.PENANAZy3pPGMdmt
his ear. The tone was low and gentle, giving off refreshing feeling. Yet at the320Please respect copyright.PENANA1YyUWFidnN
same time, the voice carried the hint of carefulness, one that shouldn’t have320Please respect copyright.PENANAGsCGzAJ6dq
appeared in such a young girl.
Lin Zi Xuan lowered his head and looked at the young girl320Please respect copyright.PENANAF0acfrAv5J
who was only 6 years old in front of him. “Princess Ning.”
Feng Ning’s lips twitched slightly. She was certainly not320Please respect copyright.PENANA6xApxmWRoM
used with being addressed like that. Even though her servants sometimes called320Please respect copyright.PENANAftl8uw9ax6
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 walk320Please respect copyright.PENANAPztDRVHR0C
around?” Feng Ning asked while tilting her head, looking like an innocent young320Please respect copyright.PENANAJZaIC0kKco
girl.
Lin Zi Xuan was staring at the young girl in front of him.320Please respect copyright.PENANAnkDZkfALf2
“Father didn’t want me to create any trouble.”
“I see.”
Feng Ning could sense that this prince was keeping his320Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6AKY9w5eE
distance, so she didn’t want to try probing him anymore. She turned around,320Please respect copyright.PENANAHqIS8L7egu
right at the time Feng Quan was looking for her. “Sister, let’s go to the320Please respect copyright.PENANA2OWxYWax4S
garden. The others said that outside is very beautiful.”
“Yes, Sister.”
The two of them walked out while Feng Zhi Liu was still320Please respect copyright.PENANA0pA6csQCJZ
resting in her maidservants’ hand. She was still three years old, so it was320Please respect copyright.PENANAOKxIsKPwVa
only natural that she would feel sleepy most of the time. Even her twin brother320Please respect copyright.PENANAY4jHxS17dI
was not in much better condition under their mother’s hand.
Lin Zi Xuan stayed still in his place when he saw his father320Please respect copyright.PENANAngBLQZ4754
went back with Prime Minister Fang Hou Zheng. His father’s face was dark as he320Please respect copyright.PENANAZdIrbHB0ak
pointed at him. “Go to the garden and accompany the princesses!”
“Yes, Father.”
Reaching the garden, Lin Zi Xuan could instantly see that320Please respect copyright.PENANA0dJTxU0TbN
his half younger brother, Lin Hu Xi, was also talking with the two princess.320Please respect copyright.PENANAMOFxjCd9sM
However, it was clear that Feng Quan refused to get close to him and even gave320Please respect copyright.PENANAnjPHpuJF4v
him polite distance.
The two of them were more or less of the same age and Feng320Please respect copyright.PENANAK2uQNxBdaQ
Quan was someone who had learned etiquette more, so she refused.
“Are you not willing to play with me, Cousin Quan?” Lin Hu320Please respect copyright.PENANAMXApKjAlmM
Xi asked in low tone.
Feng Quan was smiling without mirth. “I’m afraid that it’ll320Please respect copyright.PENANAZi394ZhcW5
be inappropriate, Your Highness. How about if you play with the other boys?”
Even though she was calling with the word ‘Your Highness,’320Please respect copyright.PENANAVAWWOoxtlz
Lin Hu Xi could sense the coldness from deep within Feng Quan’s bone. Because320Please respect copyright.PENANAO1gQKsKHCd
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,320Please respect copyright.PENANArTnYqcFabG
I want to play with the other girls.”
Both rejection.
Lin Hu Xi could only watch helplessly as the two of them320Please respect copyright.PENANAz8yb6LfAWN
headed to the group of girls. He looked in the direction of Princess Lin Mei320Please respect copyright.PENANAixMFa5SLrt
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 near320Please respect copyright.PENANAeuIBEIusKI
an empty table, finding a random chair to sit. His dark eyes were watching the320Please respect copyright.PENANA8wvpGLzDdu
three princesses who were staying at this place one by one.
He hadn’t returned to the Capital City in many years and he320Please respect copyright.PENANA4ssEhwVRn1
knew very well that his father wished for his younger brother to be able to320Please respect copyright.PENANASZ3IDPkgJo
marry one of the princess. Based on the age, his younger brother might be320Please respect copyright.PENANAWvDuiXUKup
targeting either Lin Mei Ni or Feng Ning. But so far, he hadn’t been320Please respect copyright.PENANAt7N0vd4BVt
successful.
‘How tiring.’
Looking at how these girls had been learning how to bootlick320Please respect copyright.PENANAudpCF79d5X
at young age, Feng Ning was finding it harder and harder to maintain her sweet320Please respect copyright.PENANAlfBQXPafBH
and foolish smile. She really need to take a break.
“Sister, I want to sit down.” Feng Ning’s voice sounded a bit320Please respect copyright.PENANAHCxUn56sEl
pleading.
Feng Quan looked at her younger sister and nodded her head.320Please respect copyright.PENANA5vI4PgXgIf
“In that case, please be careful, Sister. We wouldn’t want anything to happen320Please respect copyright.PENANAQNI6jakApm
to you.”
“Yes, I will be careful.”
Feng Ning sighed internally, knowing full well that her320Please respect copyright.PENANAzdp9iGmEaC
older sister must be hoping that something happened to her. She glanced around320Please respect copyright.PENANAO2ysOmdM1X
and walked towards the tables. At this moment, she noticed that Lin Zi Xuan was320Please respect copyright.PENANA4XKKvjLCVZ
sitting on the empty table, his dark eyes were watching his surroundings like a320Please respect copyright.PENANATosa6wL9M2
patient wolf that was waiting for its prey.
As their gaze met, Feng Ning felt that his gaze was somewhat320Please respect copyright.PENANARrzYNzwgnt
familiar. It was not like she had seen him before, but she had seen that type320Please respect copyright.PENANAsuexyWlkqH
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 to320Please respect copyright.PENANAKAMtlazJtI
survive, they would have to rely on their man if they wished to do anything. It320Please respect copyright.PENANAFsxmrbt6Zn
was not like she didn’t want to be independent, but she realized that many320Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZEbvFMOuA
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,320Please respect copyright.PENANAM3upM0Y6gq
there were a lot of things that she had to pay attention to, and most320Please respect copyright.PENANAw5DVthbQQI
importantly, being in the Imperial Family meant that they had to mind their320Please respect copyright.PENANAySfRtL91zc
every action. It was tiring. There was never actually a time when she was not320Please respect copyright.PENANA5go5U21I4h
watched by anyone.
Even at home, the servants would be watching her. They would320Please respect copyright.PENANAK2Eje4kfkA
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 property320Please respect copyright.PENANAVGmO3Rml1Q
because she was too young and those would only be given to her after she was320Please respect copyright.PENANAkYqjtTJL3R
married as part of dowry.
As for marriage? There were only a few people of similar320Please respect copyright.PENANAm6k1r7N7se
status whom her mother would consider.
Feng Ning originally planned to stay calm and composed,320Please respect copyright.PENANAtqZ9bxDcta
pulling the servants to her side with the most harmless and slow methods. She320Please respect copyright.PENANAeMgD6ZNdbi
didn’t want to be seen as a threat by anyone, keen on persevering her peaceful320Please respect copyright.PENANAiNnR9o5xC3
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, is320Please respect copyright.PENANAaIfQn2E7Hg
it?’
