Feng Ning hated these kind of banquets.
She was thankful that she had the skill of putting on a325Please respect copyright.PENANAwQdFmMLJIY
blank and innocent face due to the fact that it was her natural face. After325Please respect copyright.PENANAoJYL9RUUnl
all, in her past life, she was so gullible that she ended up destroying herself325Please respect copyright.PENANAiPkT5CfFhY
because of her kindness.
The others didn’t seem to be willing to talk to her that325Please respect copyright.PENANAMFspgOWia2
much here. Even her elder sister, Feng Quan was busy to talk with the other325Please respect copyright.PENANA16vzoYdDkl
girls and didn’t have time to care for her. As for Feng Zhi Liu, she was too325Please respect copyright.PENANAqQetR4vy0x
young to make trouble.
‘I’ll walk around now.’
Now that the Emperor had left the scene towards the garden,325Please respect copyright.PENANAldswz5BACF
only half of the people stayed here. Most of them were the children and the325Please respect copyright.PENANAsrIVVzNzQk
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. She325Please respect copyright.PENANApBF7NbHHwm
raised her head, noticing that the one who talked was Lin Han Xing. Because he325Please respect copyright.PENANAH6eaxliKHG
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 nodded325Please respect copyright.PENANAi80q6DDjXg
faintly. It seemed that he didn’t seem to care that much about what his father325Please respect copyright.PENANAEQVFKsDohr
thought.
Lin Han Xing snorted. “Come with me, Hu Xi.”
“Yes, Father.”
As he watched them left, Lin Zi Xuan’s eyes darkened325Please respect copyright.PENANA7w2ynvNuEe
considerably. However, he didn’t leave his seat and merely played with the cup325Please respect copyright.PENANARBEQNmpqYB
in his hand. He raised his head towards the three young girls who sat not far325Please respect copyright.PENANACqdJ3AaqKq
from him, one was busy talking with others, another one was carried by the325Please respect copyright.PENANAIseabPmgSZ
servant, and the last one was walking towards him.
…Walking towards him?
“Imperial Cousin Zi Xuan.” A soft and childish voice rang in325Please respect copyright.PENANAi9ndchbGw9
his ear. The tone was low and gentle, giving off refreshing feeling. Yet at the325Please respect copyright.PENANAK4K6lXgepN
same time, the voice carried the hint of carefulness, one that shouldn’t have325Please respect copyright.PENANAfGtr0QTrGZ
appeared in such a young girl.
Lin Zi Xuan lowered his head and looked at the young girl325Please respect copyright.PENANARNBzFr0stm
who was only 6 years old in front of him. “Princess Ning.”
Feng Ning’s lips twitched slightly. She was certainly not325Please respect copyright.PENANAQWXanxNzpf
used with being addressed like that. Even though her servants sometimes called325Please respect copyright.PENANAgB7aSiPnzT
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 walk325Please respect copyright.PENANAn1rdtiMshX
around?” Feng Ning asked while tilting her head, looking like an innocent young325Please respect copyright.PENANAEtm91m3Vgz
girl.
Lin Zi Xuan was staring at the young girl in front of him.325Please respect copyright.PENANA5g4xuS0w0v
“Father didn’t want me to create any trouble.”
“I see.”
Feng Ning could sense that this prince was keeping his325Please respect copyright.PENANAYjC6IGntcm
distance, so she didn’t want to try probing him anymore. She turned around,325Please respect copyright.PENANADKROQxgGbr
right at the time Feng Quan was looking for her. “Sister, let’s go to the325Please respect copyright.PENANAM1Ogd8Oioh
garden. The others said that outside is very beautiful.”
“Yes, Sister.”
The two of them walked out while Feng Zhi Liu was still325Please respect copyright.PENANAb2rg5KDEeA
resting in her maidservants’ hand. She was still three years old, so it was325Please respect copyright.PENANA74JuK94Jrd
only natural that she would feel sleepy most of the time. Even her twin brother325Please respect copyright.PENANAIG49Jp1eMO
was not in much better condition under their mother’s hand.
Lin Zi Xuan stayed still in his place when he saw his father325Please respect copyright.PENANAjUKIXlK680
went back with Prime Minister Fang Hou Zheng. His father’s face was dark as he325Please respect copyright.PENANAx1zQksTGvn
pointed at him. “Go to the garden and accompany the princesses!”
“Yes, Father.”
Reaching the garden, Lin Zi Xuan could instantly see that325Please respect copyright.PENANA7Y18XehZqW
his half younger brother, Lin Hu Xi, was also talking with the two princess.325Please respect copyright.PENANABX4ACBwnEM
However, it was clear that Feng Quan refused to get close to him and even gave325Please respect copyright.PENANA8YbUvDwJ7j
him polite distance.
The two of them were more or less of the same age and Feng325Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4FiWYZiGi
Quan was someone who had learned etiquette more, so she refused.
“Are you not willing to play with me, Cousin Quan?” Lin Hu325Please respect copyright.PENANACLsQz58gmU
Xi asked in low tone.
Feng Quan was smiling without mirth. “I’m afraid that it’ll325Please respect copyright.PENANADRg86jNIEA
be inappropriate, Your Highness. How about if you play with the other boys?”
Even though she was calling with the word ‘Your Highness,’325Please respect copyright.PENANATWPEUrNwHa
Lin Hu Xi could sense the coldness from deep within Feng Quan’s bone. Because325Please respect copyright.PENANA5tsWNTaBQ3
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,325Please respect copyright.PENANAULAEZD3R5p
I want to play with the other girls.”
Both rejection.
Lin Hu Xi could only watch helplessly as the two of them325Please respect copyright.PENANAgkbcYJ6KAM
headed to the group of girls. He looked in the direction of Princess Lin Mei325Please respect copyright.PENANAwEhqcj60au
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 near325Please respect copyright.PENANAIPbfmHBNml
an empty table, finding a random chair to sit. His dark eyes were watching the325Please respect copyright.PENANAQzucYA7lhv
three princesses who were staying at this place one by one.
He hadn’t returned to the Capital City in many years and he325Please respect copyright.PENANAd68HJ6QzKX
knew very well that his father wished for his younger brother to be able to325Please respect copyright.PENANAJzpKODnQFZ
marry one of the princess. Based on the age, his younger brother might be325Please respect copyright.PENANAUzo7VEUISd
targeting either Lin Mei Ni or Feng Ning. But so far, he hadn’t been325Please respect copyright.PENANAiPjBnajOkg
successful.
‘How tiring.’
Looking at how these girls had been learning how to bootlick325Please respect copyright.PENANAnZsRdNHYr7
at young age, Feng Ning was finding it harder and harder to maintain her sweet325Please respect copyright.PENANAORCDjjynYC
and foolish smile. She really need to take a break.
“Sister, I want to sit down.” Feng Ning’s voice sounded a bit325Please respect copyright.PENANAiSdrduGVDT
pleading.
Feng Quan looked at her younger sister and nodded her head.325Please respect copyright.PENANAdWdyAXDHX5
“In that case, please be careful, Sister. We wouldn’t want anything to happen325Please respect copyright.PENANAwYaDCtWYJI
to you.”
“Yes, I will be careful.”
Feng Ning sighed internally, knowing full well that her325Please respect copyright.PENANASF87jRelLQ
older sister must be hoping that something happened to her. She glanced around325Please respect copyright.PENANAp2XmGxhgke
and walked towards the tables. At this moment, she noticed that Lin Zi Xuan was325Please respect copyright.PENANADNKG2RMPEt
sitting on the empty table, his dark eyes were watching his surroundings like a325Please respect copyright.PENANAq7iMLIzCpU
patient wolf that was waiting for its prey.
As their gaze met, Feng Ning felt that his gaze was somewhat325Please respect copyright.PENANAEeIZTwwTnW
familiar. It was not like she had seen him before, but she had seen that type325Please respect copyright.PENANArAeZuyuxCb
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 to325Please respect copyright.PENANAQqVXeggA2F
survive, they would have to rely on their man if they wished to do anything. It325Please respect copyright.PENANAOa2YcFs5wh
was not like she didn’t want to be independent, but she realized that many325Please respect copyright.PENANAGDvKHOyjYb
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,325Please respect copyright.PENANAPw7FWzgUwz
there were a lot of things that she had to pay attention to, and most325Please respect copyright.PENANAHuvvFBeEOJ
importantly, being in the Imperial Family meant that they had to mind their325Please respect copyright.PENANARgJEhaFpOY
every action. It was tiring. There was never actually a time when she was not325Please respect copyright.PENANAh7XdeNZrVs
watched by anyone.
Even at home, the servants would be watching her. They would325Please respect copyright.PENANAyjC8qemd44
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 property325Please respect copyright.PENANArAWiHZWXzx
because she was too young and those would only be given to her after she was325Please respect copyright.PENANAuG5b3HEjql
married as part of dowry.
As for marriage? There were only a few people of similar325Please respect copyright.PENANAXAPMc9oqLs
status whom her mother would consider.
Feng Ning originally planned to stay calm and composed,325Please respect copyright.PENANAg6Egxu8sah
pulling the servants to her side with the most harmless and slow methods. She325Please respect copyright.PENANA01W3eEBC8e
didn’t want to be seen as a threat by anyone, keen on persevering her peaceful325Please respect copyright.PENANA9dqImE04BX
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, is325Please respect copyright.PENANAld3v2L8G6s
it?’
