Feng Ning hated these kind of banquets.
She was thankful that she had the skill of putting on a500Please respect copyright.PENANAZVZnjQ4jXE
blank and innocent face due to the fact that it was her natural face. After500Please respect copyright.PENANAzrV0ae2aiz
all, in her past life, she was so gullible that she ended up destroying herself500Please respect copyright.PENANApPRJs7PVG0
because of her kindness.
The others didn’t seem to be willing to talk to her that500Please respect copyright.PENANAzuOXAdF7sh
much here. Even her elder sister, Feng Quan was busy to talk with the other500Please respect copyright.PENANA0WBoTK3Uk0
girls and didn’t have time to care for her. As for Feng Zhi Liu, she was too500Please respect copyright.PENANAUbcN3PuGYQ
young to make trouble.
‘I’ll walk around now.’
Now that the Emperor had left the scene towards the garden,500Please respect copyright.PENANAXCFPfgG3Ji
only half of the people stayed here. Most of them were the children and the500Please respect copyright.PENANAr6ZAjK86K5
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. She500Please respect copyright.PENANAyviQw3u4rH
raised her head, noticing that the one who talked was Lin Han Xing. Because he500Please respect copyright.PENANAhgggHMOVas
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 nodded500Please respect copyright.PENANAOxxGMTtduD
faintly. It seemed that he didn’t seem to care that much about what his father500Please respect copyright.PENANA4Kec0VaqdL
thought.
Lin Han Xing snorted. “Come with me, Hu Xi.”
“Yes, Father.”
As he watched them left, Lin Zi Xuan’s eyes darkened500Please respect copyright.PENANAfwRcSsbwzi
considerably. However, he didn’t leave his seat and merely played with the cup500Please respect copyright.PENANAiRzF27HkyF
in his hand. He raised his head towards the three young girls who sat not far500Please respect copyright.PENANAjS6oKGcZIX
from him, one was busy talking with others, another one was carried by the500Please respect copyright.PENANAUQiADtSpsc
servant, and the last one was walking towards him.
…Walking towards him?
“Imperial Cousin Zi Xuan.” A soft and childish voice rang in500Please respect copyright.PENANA6C0PNsb3nU
his ear. The tone was low and gentle, giving off refreshing feeling. Yet at the500Please respect copyright.PENANAJA0I7rZGZ3
same time, the voice carried the hint of carefulness, one that shouldn’t have500Please respect copyright.PENANAzrti05693P
appeared in such a young girl.
Lin Zi Xuan lowered his head and looked at the young girl500Please respect copyright.PENANATatZwhJzaC
who was only 6 years old in front of him. “Princess Ning.”
Feng Ning’s lips twitched slightly. She was certainly not500Please respect copyright.PENANAbGQUDB8FS6
used with being addressed like that. Even though her servants sometimes called500Please respect copyright.PENANAXpUmsO0Lrc
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 walk500Please respect copyright.PENANASHsTJtcqR1
around?” Feng Ning asked while tilting her head, looking like an innocent young500Please respect copyright.PENANAwmKL32CWZ7
girl.
Lin Zi Xuan was staring at the young girl in front of him.500Please respect copyright.PENANADcmU2n5xNu
“Father didn’t want me to create any trouble.”
“I see.”
Feng Ning could sense that this prince was keeping his500Please respect copyright.PENANAqcMa1s7m4m
distance, so she didn’t want to try probing him anymore. She turned around,500Please respect copyright.PENANAz117tHUhZQ
right at the time Feng Quan was looking for her. “Sister, let’s go to the500Please respect copyright.PENANAnSXizTBx17
garden. The others said that outside is very beautiful.”
“Yes, Sister.”
The two of them walked out while Feng Zhi Liu was still500Please respect copyright.PENANAx4rZO9BEDX
resting in her maidservants’ hand. She was still three years old, so it was500Please respect copyright.PENANAGhk0NcaamI
only natural that she would feel sleepy most of the time. Even her twin brother500Please respect copyright.PENANA9GTflI4WcC
was not in much better condition under their mother’s hand.
Lin Zi Xuan stayed still in his place when he saw his father500Please respect copyright.PENANAhWuEvXYxZO
went back with Prime Minister Fang Hou Zheng. His father’s face was dark as he500Please respect copyright.PENANA8Bogs9kdbi
pointed at him. “Go to the garden and accompany the princesses!”
“Yes, Father.”
Reaching the garden, Lin Zi Xuan could instantly see that500Please respect copyright.PENANA8lIYtz5PKn
his half younger brother, Lin Hu Xi, was also talking with the two princess.500Please respect copyright.PENANAPZhKDGYxbB
However, it was clear that Feng Quan refused to get close to him and even gave500Please respect copyright.PENANAPGoTFIvnTH
him polite distance.
The two of them were more or less of the same age and Feng500Please respect copyright.PENANACFAJpYauLi
Quan was someone who had learned etiquette more, so she refused.
“Are you not willing to play with me, Cousin Quan?” Lin Hu500Please respect copyright.PENANAKmOOTlYPJu
Xi asked in low tone.
Feng Quan was smiling without mirth. “I’m afraid that it’ll500Please respect copyright.PENANAenWBsU7n20
be inappropriate, Your Highness. How about if you play with the other boys?”
Even though she was calling with the word ‘Your Highness,’500Please respect copyright.PENANAJIqwEFzLqd
Lin Hu Xi could sense the coldness from deep within Feng Quan’s bone. Because500Please respect copyright.PENANAmK0xNGcOYO
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,500Please respect copyright.PENANAGA3KFCYs22
I want to play with the other girls.”
Both rejection.
Lin Hu Xi could only watch helplessly as the two of them500Please respect copyright.PENANAlvV8n82KPh
headed to the group of girls. He looked in the direction of Princess Lin Mei500Please respect copyright.PENANAByXpq2yjmh
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 near500Please respect copyright.PENANA8J6Z4K6a3l
an empty table, finding a random chair to sit. His dark eyes were watching the500Please respect copyright.PENANAlO0pUbFVY0
three princesses who were staying at this place one by one.
He hadn’t returned to the Capital City in many years and he500Please respect copyright.PENANAVTDCdCuU2g
knew very well that his father wished for his younger brother to be able to500Please respect copyright.PENANADK7Q71siAN
marry one of the princess. Based on the age, his younger brother might be500Please respect copyright.PENANAxozs9GWciq
targeting either Lin Mei Ni or Feng Ning. But so far, he hadn’t been500Please respect copyright.PENANANp0WfCq21M
successful.
‘How tiring.’
Looking at how these girls had been learning how to bootlick500Please respect copyright.PENANAMvjXM0voMt
at young age, Feng Ning was finding it harder and harder to maintain her sweet500Please respect copyright.PENANAMYKNNMAQsg
and foolish smile. She really need to take a break.
“Sister, I want to sit down.” Feng Ning’s voice sounded a bit500Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8emhYNAqI
pleading.
Feng Quan looked at her younger sister and nodded her head.500Please respect copyright.PENANAHfS3VYzVt3
“In that case, please be careful, Sister. We wouldn’t want anything to happen500Please respect copyright.PENANA0lnc4mQR6l
to you.”
“Yes, I will be careful.”
Feng Ning sighed internally, knowing full well that her500Please respect copyright.PENANAdFkrz0PODL
older sister must be hoping that something happened to her. She glanced around500Please respect copyright.PENANA2Bnj5jlVDT
and walked towards the tables. At this moment, she noticed that Lin Zi Xuan was500Please respect copyright.PENANAg7dTuH1RSZ
sitting on the empty table, his dark eyes were watching his surroundings like a500Please respect copyright.PENANAAms82gCvNK
patient wolf that was waiting for its prey.
As their gaze met, Feng Ning felt that his gaze was somewhat500Please respect copyright.PENANAExRQ6LrpxK
familiar. It was not like she had seen him before, but she had seen that type500Please respect copyright.PENANAWK3v82Sdc3
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 to500Please respect copyright.PENANArKsdopMmCo
survive, they would have to rely on their man if they wished to do anything. It500Please respect copyright.PENANAJzICuVvpqd
was not like she didn’t want to be independent, but she realized that many500Please respect copyright.PENANAGG5QfoSKd9
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,500Please respect copyright.PENANATEBxbmo20f
there were a lot of things that she had to pay attention to, and most500Please respect copyright.PENANA9AX4Sm6lm5
importantly, being in the Imperial Family meant that they had to mind their500Please respect copyright.PENANACYHoZu7x93
every action. It was tiring. There was never actually a time when she was not500Please respect copyright.PENANAhtHZ4EZGms
watched by anyone.
Even at home, the servants would be watching her. They would500Please respect copyright.PENANApg8a0Tck6u
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 property500Please respect copyright.PENANA2RsRJzduQO
because she was too young and those would only be given to her after she was500Please respect copyright.PENANAghYLNwmDMD
married as part of dowry.
As for marriage? There were only a few people of similar500Please respect copyright.PENANA3rDTG3jZHW
status whom her mother would consider.
Feng Ning originally planned to stay calm and composed,500Please respect copyright.PENANAx4ebfizNNh
pulling the servants to her side with the most harmless and slow methods. She500Please respect copyright.PENANA8JPzdfu3Id
didn’t want to be seen as a threat by anyone, keen on persevering her peaceful500Please respect copyright.PENANAgBrf3Js6V1
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, is500Please respect copyright.PENANAHtItfsNvaF
it?’
