Feng Ning hated these kind of banquets.
She was thankful that she had the skill of putting on a177Please respect copyright.PENANASOQPxEJrxX
blank and innocent face due to the fact that it was her natural face. After177Please respect copyright.PENANA9pYh3jYeyS
all, in her past life, she was so gullible that she ended up destroying herself177Please respect copyright.PENANAyLvuaWoqOr
because of her kindness.
The others didn’t seem to be willing to talk to her that177Please respect copyright.PENANATwdnXmGCah
much here. Even her elder sister, Feng Quan was busy to talk with the other177Please respect copyright.PENANAm1rmkYTy7Z
girls and didn’t have time to care for her. As for Feng Zhi Liu, she was too177Please respect copyright.PENANARkOErsjzQq
young to make trouble.
‘I’ll walk around now.’
Now that the Emperor had left the scene towards the garden,177Please respect copyright.PENANAEd1a1WW7Ep
only half of the people stayed here. Most of them were the children and the177Please respect copyright.PENANAkoxtx7kLtw
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. She177Please respect copyright.PENANAZEN6IMZazc
raised her head, noticing that the one who talked was Lin Han Xing. Because he177Please respect copyright.PENANARehWNDcXiH
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 nodded177Please respect copyright.PENANAqiiwiEs9Dy
faintly. It seemed that he didn’t seem to care that much about what his father177Please respect copyright.PENANAeC6DpPmzfJ
thought.
Lin Han Xing snorted. “Come with me, Hu Xi.”
“Yes, Father.”
As he watched them left, Lin Zi Xuan’s eyes darkened177Please respect copyright.PENANAVSB8lb04Qd
considerably. However, he didn’t leave his seat and merely played with the cup177Please respect copyright.PENANAgBIJYgOxud
in his hand. He raised his head towards the three young girls who sat not far177Please respect copyright.PENANAhS7DOm3v7c
from him, one was busy talking with others, another one was carried by the177Please respect copyright.PENANAhEW0xOWuzp
servant, and the last one was walking towards him.
…Walking towards him?
“Imperial Cousin Zi Xuan.” A soft and childish voice rang in177Please respect copyright.PENANALzEMbSptx4
his ear. The tone was low and gentle, giving off refreshing feeling. Yet at the177Please respect copyright.PENANAnBkyzT2vUX
same time, the voice carried the hint of carefulness, one that shouldn’t have177Please respect copyright.PENANASP8felmbei
appeared in such a young girl.
Lin Zi Xuan lowered his head and looked at the young girl177Please respect copyright.PENANAz82A5FEiHz
who was only 6 years old in front of him. “Princess Ning.”
Feng Ning’s lips twitched slightly. She was certainly not177Please respect copyright.PENANALuLIr89lcH
used with being addressed like that. Even though her servants sometimes called177Please respect copyright.PENANAT9uH3kRhDW
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 walk177Please respect copyright.PENANAl692Cfn4uA
around?” Feng Ning asked while tilting her head, looking like an innocent young177Please respect copyright.PENANAYcRKOKmJ4h
girl.
Lin Zi Xuan was staring at the young girl in front of him.177Please respect copyright.PENANAw5lMswnP4A
“Father didn’t want me to create any trouble.”
“I see.”
Feng Ning could sense that this prince was keeping his177Please respect copyright.PENANATGLCTeV9ND
distance, so she didn’t want to try probing him anymore. She turned around,177Please respect copyright.PENANAIe3a3i4tCS
right at the time Feng Quan was looking for her. “Sister, let’s go to the177Please respect copyright.PENANANd4znBmgYB
garden. The others said that outside is very beautiful.”
“Yes, Sister.”
The two of them walked out while Feng Zhi Liu was still177Please respect copyright.PENANA2S1XJOB4sr
resting in her maidservants’ hand. She was still three years old, so it was177Please respect copyright.PENANAbBJ3vDmlXr
only natural that she would feel sleepy most of the time. Even her twin brother177Please respect copyright.PENANAZft4UwzLaf
was not in much better condition under their mother’s hand.
Lin Zi Xuan stayed still in his place when he saw his father177Please respect copyright.PENANAAeFfcrP2zC
went back with Prime Minister Fang Hou Zheng. His father’s face was dark as he177Please respect copyright.PENANA3RWNFTLNTu
pointed at him. “Go to the garden and accompany the princesses!”
“Yes, Father.”
Reaching the garden, Lin Zi Xuan could instantly see that177Please respect copyright.PENANAMIJIwXLtv1
his half younger brother, Lin Hu Xi, was also talking with the two princess.177Please respect copyright.PENANAQGRugRuLza
However, it was clear that Feng Quan refused to get close to him and even gave177Please respect copyright.PENANAEXdY1fzPMQ
him polite distance.
The two of them were more or less of the same age and Feng177Please respect copyright.PENANA0EMk5rZBPj
Quan was someone who had learned etiquette more, so she refused.
“Are you not willing to play with me, Cousin Quan?” Lin Hu177Please respect copyright.PENANAf76hGAZdtd
Xi asked in low tone.
Feng Quan was smiling without mirth. “I’m afraid that it’ll177Please respect copyright.PENANAZudCPeyOSX
be inappropriate, Your Highness. How about if you play with the other boys?”
Even though she was calling with the word ‘Your Highness,’177Please respect copyright.PENANAoiV3mR8zQg
Lin Hu Xi could sense the coldness from deep within Feng Quan’s bone. Because177Please respect copyright.PENANAQif0XXe12c
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,177Please respect copyright.PENANAkbcjVEdne1
I want to play with the other girls.”
Both rejection.
Lin Hu Xi could only watch helplessly as the two of them177Please respect copyright.PENANAuzdlDPFwc7
headed to the group of girls. He looked in the direction of Princess Lin Mei177Please respect copyright.PENANA6rFDOgWWdL
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 near177Please respect copyright.PENANAZxXcEt9ouI
an empty table, finding a random chair to sit. His dark eyes were watching the177Please respect copyright.PENANAI8p6tjiLFe
three princesses who were staying at this place one by one.
He hadn’t returned to the Capital City in many years and he177Please respect copyright.PENANAS4QnmiueaH
knew very well that his father wished for his younger brother to be able to177Please respect copyright.PENANACfz5QqPZkX
marry one of the princess. Based on the age, his younger brother might be177Please respect copyright.PENANA0vD74aowLz
targeting either Lin Mei Ni or Feng Ning. But so far, he hadn’t been177Please respect copyright.PENANAlCduR4cIHY
successful.
‘How tiring.’
Looking at how these girls had been learning how to bootlick177Please respect copyright.PENANA963C6zVsYk
at young age, Feng Ning was finding it harder and harder to maintain her sweet177Please respect copyright.PENANALLCQfbTilV
and foolish smile. She really need to take a break.
“Sister, I want to sit down.” Feng Ning’s voice sounded a bit177Please respect copyright.PENANAe9SmYD8PaT
pleading.
Feng Quan looked at her younger sister and nodded her head.177Please respect copyright.PENANA6A7eYGZREc
“In that case, please be careful, Sister. We wouldn’t want anything to happen177Please respect copyright.PENANAp34YtMRwA1
to you.”
“Yes, I will be careful.”
Feng Ning sighed internally, knowing full well that her177Please respect copyright.PENANAFTuniubLKb
older sister must be hoping that something happened to her. She glanced around177Please respect copyright.PENANAoJ29DI3eHU
and walked towards the tables. At this moment, she noticed that Lin Zi Xuan was177Please respect copyright.PENANAc3o0EgMMov
sitting on the empty table, his dark eyes were watching his surroundings like a177Please respect copyright.PENANAyu5CWg8Pkd
patient wolf that was waiting for its prey.
As their gaze met, Feng Ning felt that his gaze was somewhat177Please respect copyright.PENANAxrmUIOGMD9
familiar. It was not like she had seen him before, but she had seen that type177Please respect copyright.PENANAsY6yrnuWAK
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 to177Please respect copyright.PENANA2L9dZOHjKR
survive, they would have to rely on their man if they wished to do anything. It177Please respect copyright.PENANAxFLSeiisyJ
was not like she didn’t want to be independent, but she realized that many177Please respect copyright.PENANAZyO8tg3ZrV
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,177Please respect copyright.PENANAmt6yj1DvsW
there were a lot of things that she had to pay attention to, and most177Please respect copyright.PENANAvElE2sC67g
importantly, being in the Imperial Family meant that they had to mind their177Please respect copyright.PENANArdvKakZPLn
every action. It was tiring. There was never actually a time when she was not177Please respect copyright.PENANAoebBEXPYQI
watched by anyone.
Even at home, the servants would be watching her. They would177Please respect copyright.PENANA1T30QbH01v
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 property177Please respect copyright.PENANAzObaG1Lnv1
because she was too young and those would only be given to her after she was177Please respect copyright.PENANArpK94u4wD9
married as part of dowry.
As for marriage? There were only a few people of similar177Please respect copyright.PENANAQrwxh6A6nD
status whom her mother would consider.
Feng Ning originally planned to stay calm and composed,177Please respect copyright.PENANAavmVXawy9q
pulling the servants to her side with the most harmless and slow methods. She177Please respect copyright.PENANAuq5wd3RBWQ
didn’t want to be seen as a threat by anyone, keen on persevering her peaceful177Please respect copyright.PENANAxlihlxl1Yu
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, is177Please respect copyright.PENANAHFFQdy8lfO
it?’
