Lin Hu Xi was around 11 years old, but he had a proud look397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9Le5CX1Sc
on his face as he greeted his aunt. Smiling yet not smiling, he performed his397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemh0ufNQdG
greetings flawlessly.
Feng Ning watched everything from the back, amused by their397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVT2h96Wxj
performances, but she said nothing. She had no place to even interfere and397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHGKIBV3mK
joined in their conversation. After all, she was nothing more than an outsider.
In this party, she was nothing more than a spectator.
Spectator.
It might sound like a good word, but it was nothing more397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQosWbEgz6
than someone who was staying at the shadow and being unnoticed. In the end, all397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4feuxA3pBY
that she could do was to watch as others interacted and showed off their397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY6s6BAlE2
skills.
‘I like this silence, though.’
With no one bothering her, Feng Ning was watching her mother397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OYUqV9gkA
battle of words with the other Imperial Family members. She took the sip of the397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSD0VKBxtn
tea while noticing that Feng Quan was trying hard to maintain her smile.
‘Did she notice someone?’ Feng Ning glanced to the side397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWL6O8rO37
naturally and noticed a group of people were staying not far from them. Being397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKBNAah0iw
able to sit in location near the Imperial Family only showed that their397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs19UNZc2T
statuses were not bad.
Unfortunately, Feng Ning didn’t know everyone.
They would only introduce themselves later on when they397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeDkx22VFX
reached that segment.
“His Majesty, Her Majesty, and Her Highness Princess Mei Ni397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBcHI6oXMw
had arrived.”
The moment the eunuch announced the Emperor’s arrival,397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mxRElnjzs
everyone stood up from their chairs and kowtowed to the ground. Feng Ning397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrykpyydgm
followed their movement and noticed that the atmosphere turned tense almost397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmEA0hwh2q
immediately. The stifling atmosphere reminded her of her school days when the397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAjvDSOTEf
principal suddenly appeared.
It was fear and respect.
“We greets Your Majesty, long life Your Majesty.”
“Rise.”
The Emperor’s voice was low and pleasant to the ear. At the397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGylQHOSxq
same time, it carried hint of bloodlust that he didn’t even bother to conceal.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61gys7rOWS
Some children were trembling and stifling their tears from the moment the397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4K3CMYMKd
Emperor had arrived.
Feng Ning took a deep breath as she raised her head for a397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMh6GNMknS
brief moment before lowering her head once more. She only took a brief look,397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXoTdwlpe9
but she had seen the Emperor’s face. He didn’t look that much different397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZZdARwhHf
compared to her mother, around 60 to 70 percent similar. However, his eyes were397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeAZaB3wAV
exceedingly cold that Feng Ning didn’t even want to look at him anymore.
Just that brief moment had made Feng Ning felt as if she was397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v2LIzeO18
meeting with someone who glanced at everyone here as if they owed billions to397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiaLK6uRQS
him. It was not a nice feeling.
As for the Empress… she was a beautiful woman. However, she397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtnUWnnm2F
never gave birth to any child for the Emperor and was probably nothing more397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyjMYcGMG8
than a figurehead. However, the air that she exuded still gave out the word397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfGE36W66I
authority.
Princess Lin Mei Ni was the only surviving younger397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYJVGgQJWU
generation.
As for why Feng Ning called her that way, it was obviously397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkawiUaix1f
because she had heard that there were countless imperial concubines who had397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T5NJFTl7D
died in the past decade. Not to mention, there were also various attacks397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH0JMY2Bx5
directed at the children who were born for the Emperor that many of them didn’t397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJJt4m4V1V
survive even for a month.
It was a brutal battlefield.
And the Emperor did nothing to even stop them.
Probably because not a single one of them was a son. That397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn82MXKkAbt
was quite an unfortunate luck for him.
Cruel and cold blooded. That was the only description that397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a9N0Rog9w
Feng Ning could give when she saw the Emperor.
“Today marks New Year and this time there are a lot of397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowOhmVg1AC
vassal kingdoms have sent their regards. This banquet is also to welcome them397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5Zpmu63i6
all.”
Ah right…
Lin Tang Kingdom was a powerful kingdom that also ‘claimed’397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgxybSTjeb
many areas as their vassal. Those who didn’t want to obey were destroyed one by397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqxWbJNwHY
one until this time, where everyone was basically forced to follow them. With397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuP50fyeBc
the power that Lin Tang Kingdom’s hold, Feng Ning had no doubt that this397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2tSmeh13Y
kingdom would be heading towards its peak soon.
Of course, that was only if the Emperor could hold onto his397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45QU6nOnJr
chair.
‘What in the world am I thinking….’
Feng Ning lowered her head and focused on eating the food in397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo8QbNG0Zf
front of her. For some reasons, she couldn’t help but think that the peace she397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm8v0K43k5
had right now was nothing more than being superficial. It was a fragile peace397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwjcas0PEj
that could be broken so easily.
“Imperial Cousins.”
Hearing the cheerful voice, Feng Ning’s body stiffened397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2medaBYuXr
slightly. She raised her head and made sure that she put on a blank look as she397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxdb5qzKQn
looked at Princess Mei Ni who came towards them.
Lin Mei Ni.
The only child of the current Emperor who survived. It was397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHefZUbMde9
needless to say that her mother was a favored concubine and that she managed to397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW3c9Dhjq9
survive this long was not mere luck. She was also a very capable person.
Lin Mei Ni was only a year older than her, making her being397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcDUpqhdTU
only 7 years old. Nevertheless, Feng Ning recognized the gaze that Lin Mei Ni397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFEj2fdUNd
held when she was looking in their direction that appeared for a split second.
Disgust.
Feng Ning pushed her feelings down and showed a foolish397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHebWvYQdK
smile. “Imperial Cousin Mei Ni.”
Beside her, Feng Quan and Feng Zhu Liu also suppressed their397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6JHTDGFt8
expression as they greeted Lin Mei Ni politely.
“This is the first time we meet with each other. Imperial397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs0Nl7HWHC
Mother taught me that I should be polite, so I have prepared presents for all397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdTwMw9pPq
of you,” Lin Mei Ni said with sweet tone.
Feng Ning was utterly speechless. Did this Lin Mei Ni think397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWxCkMEJyC
of herself as an elder? The way she conducted herself would make her look as if397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmd789Pl5d
she was looking down on her and her sisters.
Though, Feng Ning didn’t care that much.
“Your Highness, isn’t it a bit too much? I didn’t prepare397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ5bsjuEyI
anything for you.” Feng Ning looked troubled.
Feng Quan’s eyes burned with fury while Feng Zhi Liu was397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLyANzq30J
more interested in what kind of present they were.
Lin Mei Ni smiled, her expression still looked like that of397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c3O0Vw86p
a sweet girl. “It’s fine. I’m the one who want to stay close with all of you.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjqYoo7HPp
Do you perhaps dislike the presents?”
“Not at all, Imperial Cousin.” Feng Quan forced a smile.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ctrQkbwGh
However, she was older than Lin Mei Ni, so how could she not understand the397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABQecI161D
intention of her cousin? It was as if she was telling them that she would397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7vV8bIRHx
always be above them in terms of seniority.
She was infuriated, but she couldn’t possibly lash out in397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMeQ2SCOab
this kind of place.
Feng Ning and Feng Zhu Liu also expressed that they didn’t397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1C3uPS1qc
mind as they accepted the present.
“That’s good.” Lin Mei Ni curtsied and didn’t stay there any397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AWdyKlvfZ
longer before returning to her parents. It was time for them to watch the397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2h7qYDnei
performance and to make sure that they all enjoyed the night.
Feng Quan snorted as her grip tightened. It was clear that397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwl8CrfFJ1
she was dissatisfied with this arrangement, but what could she possibly do?
She was nothing.
‘So this is a person from the Imperial Family.’
Feng Ning looked at the three people on the highest seat as397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW6glr1ysu
smiled faintly. In the past, she often watched historical drama and always felt397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz2c5yOAf7
awe to these people who could live their lives in this complicated place.
Now that she had seen them.
She understood that it was not like they wanted to be like397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5HqlqodZV
that. But if they wanted to survive, they had no other choice but to grow up to397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSTt1TJoWV
be the scheming ones.
If they failed, they would die.
As simple as that.
‘The most glorious place is also the dirtiest place.’
