Feng Ning hated these kind of banquets.
She was thankful that she had the skill of putting on a167Please respect copyright.PENANAlTCaiETp6N
blank and innocent face due to the fact that it was her natural face. After167Please respect copyright.PENANAkETHsjTtX4
all, in her past life, she was so gullible that she ended up destroying herself167Please respect copyright.PENANAcUejxjSag5
because of her kindness.
The others didn’t seem to be willing to talk to her that167Please respect copyright.PENANA9MQP47PTPw
much here. Even her elder sister, Feng Quan was busy to talk with the other167Please respect copyright.PENANA0flNoapTJr
girls and didn’t have time to care for her. As for Feng Zhi Liu, she was too167Please respect copyright.PENANAbTVOM74j1J
young to make trouble.
‘I’ll walk around now.’
Now that the Emperor had left the scene towards the garden,167Please respect copyright.PENANAxgigiWRlQT
only half of the people stayed here. Most of them were the children and the167Please respect copyright.PENANAqcv0EeyHSx
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. She167Please respect copyright.PENANARBoJMeA6Ek
raised her head, noticing that the one who talked was Lin Han Xing. Because he167Please respect copyright.PENANAen6MfSjEwe
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 nodded167Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2FG35APkd
faintly. It seemed that he didn’t seem to care that much about what his father167Please respect copyright.PENANAxYd8l4Q7Mx
thought.
Lin Han Xing snorted. “Come with me, Hu Xi.”
“Yes, Father.”
As he watched them left, Lin Zi Xuan’s eyes darkened167Please respect copyright.PENANAKvmIaU4qke
considerably. However, he didn’t leave his seat and merely played with the cup167Please respect copyright.PENANAxvZviNt9kh
in his hand. He raised his head towards the three young girls who sat not far167Please respect copyright.PENANACSe004gFPg
from him, one was busy talking with others, another one was carried by the167Please respect copyright.PENANATuEIm19jSS
servant, and the last one was walking towards him.
…Walking towards him?
“Imperial Cousin Zi Xuan.” A soft and childish voice rang in167Please respect copyright.PENANATsoMWOqTJL
his ear. The tone was low and gentle, giving off refreshing feeling. Yet at the167Please respect copyright.PENANA9CyLUOXydH
same time, the voice carried the hint of carefulness, one that shouldn’t have167Please respect copyright.PENANAHPl3a1JUmL
appeared in such a young girl.
Lin Zi Xuan lowered his head and looked at the young girl167Please respect copyright.PENANA0Q2E9l6hQ9
who was only 6 years old in front of him. “Princess Ning.”
Feng Ning’s lips twitched slightly. She was certainly not167Please respect copyright.PENANAVSaJGQoFaw
used with being addressed like that. Even though her servants sometimes called167Please respect copyright.PENANAFY5YUsExui
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 walk167Please respect copyright.PENANAaR0xT9BYfM
around?” Feng Ning asked while tilting her head, looking like an innocent young167Please respect copyright.PENANAfScxb7GHZa
girl.
Lin Zi Xuan was staring at the young girl in front of him.167Please respect copyright.PENANAwF4BtM5B7f
“Father didn’t want me to create any trouble.”
“I see.”
Feng Ning could sense that this prince was keeping his167Please respect copyright.PENANAfe1j5tzO4o
distance, so she didn’t want to try probing him anymore. She turned around,167Please respect copyright.PENANAfrtvgkxoBz
right at the time Feng Quan was looking for her. “Sister, let’s go to the167Please respect copyright.PENANAdF6fmju5EU
garden. The others said that outside is very beautiful.”
“Yes, Sister.”
The two of them walked out while Feng Zhi Liu was still167Please respect copyright.PENANACwZ63pbre0
resting in her maidservants’ hand. She was still three years old, so it was167Please respect copyright.PENANAR0ted5XTrn
only natural that she would feel sleepy most of the time. Even her twin brother167Please respect copyright.PENANAEqYjD7yPZR
was not in much better condition under their mother’s hand.
Lin Zi Xuan stayed still in his place when he saw his father167Please respect copyright.PENANAOMpNNiT6xu
went back with Prime Minister Fang Hou Zheng. His father’s face was dark as he167Please respect copyright.PENANAH7mHgtlRL3
pointed at him. “Go to the garden and accompany the princesses!”
“Yes, Father.”
Reaching the garden, Lin Zi Xuan could instantly see that167Please respect copyright.PENANAS0Xq1mfuTQ
his half younger brother, Lin Hu Xi, was also talking with the two princess.167Please respect copyright.PENANAGpGhyd038A
However, it was clear that Feng Quan refused to get close to him and even gave167Please respect copyright.PENANAZwuPeHETKb
him polite distance.
The two of them were more or less of the same age and Feng167Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5MZkurNc5
Quan was someone who had learned etiquette more, so she refused.
“Are you not willing to play with me, Cousin Quan?” Lin Hu167Please respect copyright.PENANAVg8EEg3s71
Xi asked in low tone.
Feng Quan was smiling without mirth. “I’m afraid that it’ll167Please respect copyright.PENANAigEs4Dy3Mz
be inappropriate, Your Highness. How about if you play with the other boys?”
Even though she was calling with the word ‘Your Highness,’167Please respect copyright.PENANATWGtKkj9OF
Lin Hu Xi could sense the coldness from deep within Feng Quan’s bone. Because167Please respect copyright.PENANAjZxBhyxOpe
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,167Please respect copyright.PENANAPR2gWkDTXS
I want to play with the other girls.”
Both rejection.
Lin Hu Xi could only watch helplessly as the two of them167Please respect copyright.PENANAjM9fsYtu2f
headed to the group of girls. He looked in the direction of Princess Lin Mei167Please respect copyright.PENANArFQYPvcvbV
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 near167Please respect copyright.PENANASTQ1GERFNE
an empty table, finding a random chair to sit. His dark eyes were watching the167Please respect copyright.PENANAg4FVBChys1
three princesses who were staying at this place one by one.
He hadn’t returned to the Capital City in many years and he167Please respect copyright.PENANAjftKcE4oV4
knew very well that his father wished for his younger brother to be able to167Please respect copyright.PENANA8JqpDtraYl
marry one of the princess. Based on the age, his younger brother might be167Please respect copyright.PENANA7TBQrnSV6e
targeting either Lin Mei Ni or Feng Ning. But so far, he hadn’t been167Please respect copyright.PENANAU5P3ba77l1
successful.
‘How tiring.’
Looking at how these girls had been learning how to bootlick167Please respect copyright.PENANAgzSMZ2DrZH
at young age, Feng Ning was finding it harder and harder to maintain her sweet167Please respect copyright.PENANA6ghhqTcsZo
and foolish smile. She really need to take a break.
“Sister, I want to sit down.” Feng Ning’s voice sounded a bit167Please respect copyright.PENANAiAxoRCv6PF
pleading.
Feng Quan looked at her younger sister and nodded her head.167Please respect copyright.PENANAvo9X5jJLVt
“In that case, please be careful, Sister. We wouldn’t want anything to happen167Please respect copyright.PENANAKZB0Ijw0sr
to you.”
“Yes, I will be careful.”
Feng Ning sighed internally, knowing full well that her167Please respect copyright.PENANAXGsgpeFydZ
older sister must be hoping that something happened to her. She glanced around167Please respect copyright.PENANAzIhGMlygnE
and walked towards the tables. At this moment, she noticed that Lin Zi Xuan was167Please respect copyright.PENANApQBsjqFckj
sitting on the empty table, his dark eyes were watching his surroundings like a167Please respect copyright.PENANAY9ojRBvCqH
patient wolf that was waiting for its prey.
As their gaze met, Feng Ning felt that his gaze was somewhat167Please respect copyright.PENANATQeNBs6UXH
familiar. It was not like she had seen him before, but she had seen that type167Please respect copyright.PENANA73uhfkEoXY
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 to167Please respect copyright.PENANAE4fea97lJH
survive, they would have to rely on their man if they wished to do anything. It167Please respect copyright.PENANAiUTzh8M8TW
was not like she didn’t want to be independent, but she realized that many167Please respect copyright.PENANAQXCiiBxZew
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,167Please respect copyright.PENANANrOSVEEvgC
there were a lot of things that she had to pay attention to, and most167Please respect copyright.PENANAJs6FrlKA3g
importantly, being in the Imperial Family meant that they had to mind their167Please respect copyright.PENANA2cxG0zjoST
every action. It was tiring. There was never actually a time when she was not167Please respect copyright.PENANAkpMJ8Yt8ie
watched by anyone.
Even at home, the servants would be watching her. They would167Please respect copyright.PENANAFuPLiEN87x
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 property167Please respect copyright.PENANALgH3c9MyRu
because she was too young and those would only be given to her after she was167Please respect copyright.PENANAb2Hj95nSqD
married as part of dowry.
As for marriage? There were only a few people of similar167Please respect copyright.PENANAiloPBX6kPo
status whom her mother would consider.
Feng Ning originally planned to stay calm and composed,167Please respect copyright.PENANAataL97oxKk
pulling the servants to her side with the most harmless and slow methods. She167Please respect copyright.PENANA3C1jbaWsUj
didn’t want to be seen as a threat by anyone, keen on persevering her peaceful167Please respect copyright.PENANAsewtXJFRDQ
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, is167Please respect copyright.PENANAPji2RImus8
it?’
