Lin Hu Xi was around 11 years old, but he had a proud look457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvBRTlnOaD
on his face as he greeted his aunt. Smiling yet not smiling, he performed his457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNjKAX9HmE
greetings flawlessly.
Feng Ning watched everything from the back, amused by their457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxd1EZpE9y
performances, but she said nothing. She had no place to even interfere and457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOVNwvtH1t
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 more457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYId2LOTtIT
than someone who was staying at the shadow and being unnoticed. In the end, all457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDereynhal4
that she could do was to watch as others interacted and showed off their457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoubwbt32U
skills.
‘I like this silence, though.’
With no one bothering her, Feng Ning was watching her mother457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCkHGVxlVr
battle of words with the other Imperial Family members. She took the sip of the457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW6zXBpFps
tea while noticing that Feng Quan was trying hard to maintain her smile.
‘Did she notice someone?’ Feng Ning glanced to the side457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyYw8rmJkk
naturally and noticed a group of people were staying not far from them. Being457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ695B7A7IBa
able to sit in location near the Imperial Family only showed that their457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZKye411qE
statuses were not bad.
Unfortunately, Feng Ning didn’t know everyone.
They would only introduce themselves later on when they457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalCqwiEOQR
reached that segment.
“His Majesty, Her Majesty, and Her Highness Princess Mei Ni457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxzANhegGW
had arrived.”
The moment the eunuch announced the Emperor’s arrival,457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYrg5DZLhx
everyone stood up from their chairs and kowtowed to the ground. Feng Ning457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnfdtPn2vI
followed their movement and noticed that the atmosphere turned tense almost457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECjUB5fE27
immediately. The stifling atmosphere reminded her of her school days when the457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72miDMgaRe
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 the457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaARQk15O8
same time, it carried hint of bloodlust that he didn’t even bother to conceal.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAnaUHjftx
Some children were trembling and stifling their tears from the moment the457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixEnV4THU0
Emperor had arrived.
Feng Ning took a deep breath as she raised her head for a457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcjr28J5RQ
brief moment before lowering her head once more. She only took a brief look,457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsVTh46Ma2
but she had seen the Emperor’s face. He didn’t look that much different457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiqG3GAGUn
compared to her mother, around 60 to 70 percent similar. However, his eyes were457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c5C2IlkRz
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 was457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTBN2BJO37
meeting with someone who glanced at everyone here as if they owed billions to457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNP9aCBN4j
him. It was not a nice feeling.
As for the Empress… she was a beautiful woman. However, she457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEdO7ABteL
never gave birth to any child for the Emperor and was probably nothing more457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mW0RfbVaa
than a figurehead. However, the air that she exuded still gave out the word457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJNhZcNum4
authority.
Princess Lin Mei Ni was the only surviving younger457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonm6Iatyuw
generation.
As for why Feng Ning called her that way, it was obviously457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UhIRrf11G
because she had heard that there were countless imperial concubines who had457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGdR3sAYC4
died in the past decade. Not to mention, there were also various attacks457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6x1ObUDZF
directed at the children who were born for the Emperor that many of them didn’t457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP273rurZp
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. That457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XasCjcVTa
was quite an unfortunate luck for him.
Cruel and cold blooded. That was the only description that457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcXAQHQV7q
Feng Ning could give when she saw the Emperor.
“Today marks New Year and this time there are a lot of457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZJsqxDB3K
vassal kingdoms have sent their regards. This banquet is also to welcome them457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu9Oh31zWp
all.”
Ah right…
Lin Tang Kingdom was a powerful kingdom that also ‘claimed’457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAIIPkMsAK
many areas as their vassal. Those who didn’t want to obey were destroyed one by457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIbmFrQJnZ
one until this time, where everyone was basically forced to follow them. With457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3D4QTWD5C
the power that Lin Tang Kingdom’s hold, Feng Ning had no doubt that this457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE63cGu1qB8
kingdom would be heading towards its peak soon.
Of course, that was only if the Emperor could hold onto his457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTwxTK6KmO
chair.
‘What in the world am I thinking….’
Feng Ning lowered her head and focused on eating the food in457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6Vsz9ifVt
front of her. For some reasons, she couldn’t help but think that the peace she457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjgSp9R89g
had right now was nothing more than being superficial. It was a fragile peace457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGU8OXKpVi
that could be broken so easily.
“Imperial Cousins.”
Hearing the cheerful voice, Feng Ning’s body stiffened457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFbTrwxp5V
slightly. She raised her head and made sure that she put on a blank look as she457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGTYO9ZqSj
looked at Princess Mei Ni who came towards them.
Lin Mei Ni.
The only child of the current Emperor who survived. It was457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jN7f6EFfT
needless to say that her mother was a favored concubine and that she managed to457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkT1hMmDPL
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 being457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y8cpLjG3a
only 7 years old. Nevertheless, Feng Ning recognized the gaze that Lin Mei Ni457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDNEDXRyOh
held when she was looking in their direction that appeared for a split second.
Disgust.
Feng Ning pushed her feelings down and showed a foolish457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx7WdLmw7W
smile. “Imperial Cousin Mei Ni.”
Beside her, Feng Quan and Feng Zhu Liu also suppressed their457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjGjnCGTiq
expression as they greeted Lin Mei Ni politely.
“This is the first time we meet with each other. Imperial457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0L2p2oPzC
Mother taught me that I should be polite, so I have prepared presents for all457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyBlIsq2qC
of you,” Lin Mei Ni said with sweet tone.
Feng Ning was utterly speechless. Did this Lin Mei Ni think457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0DyJ86WUG
of herself as an elder? The way she conducted herself would make her look as if457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAMbcIqGo4
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 prepare457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX6Qs88WTR
anything for you.” Feng Ning looked troubled.
Feng Quan’s eyes burned with fury while Feng Zhi Liu was457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EGdp7alcg
more interested in what kind of present they were.
Lin Mei Ni smiled, her expression still looked like that of457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxmpNgtOGh
a sweet girl. “It’s fine. I’m the one who want to stay close with all of you.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyZUSSi0bL
Do you perhaps dislike the presents?”
“Not at all, Imperial Cousin.” Feng Quan forced a smile.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiTqtVhRcV
However, she was older than Lin Mei Ni, so how could she not understand the457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe1AGglK4H
intention of her cousin? It was as if she was telling them that she would457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChy8csNEjP
always be above them in terms of seniority.
She was infuriated, but she couldn’t possibly lash out in457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVARyhLDk7t
this kind of place.
Feng Ning and Feng Zhu Liu also expressed that they didn’t457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rjy5J1aUP
mind as they accepted the present.
“That’s good.” Lin Mei Ni curtsied and didn’t stay there any457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWffYvmhFT
longer before returning to her parents. It was time for them to watch the457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC9BEGEDk1
performance and to make sure that they all enjoyed the night.
Feng Quan snorted as her grip tightened. It was clear that457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bYLqC3ZXV
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 as457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbs92MC7yH
smiled faintly. In the past, she often watched historical drama and always felt457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm3ig64gG9
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 like457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1Tnc6IZob
that. But if they wanted to survive, they had no other choice but to grow up to457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LcqU2PhxI
be the scheming ones.
If they failed, they would die.
As simple as that.
‘The most glorious place is also the dirtiest place.’
