Lin Hu Xi was around 11 years old, but he had a proud look449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmTqdyy5a7
on his face as he greeted his aunt. Smiling yet not smiling, he performed his449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdg07V7c2y
greetings flawlessly.
Feng Ning watched everything from the back, amused by their449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf2lQU87qG
performances, but she said nothing. She had no place to even interfere and449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIzSwMptvD
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 more449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXzq4eTUlE
than someone who was staying at the shadow and being unnoticed. In the end, all449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ885JPbYs9S
that she could do was to watch as others interacted and showed off their449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c5NR4fkFP
skills.
‘I like this silence, though.’
With no one bothering her, Feng Ning was watching her mother449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa8h2zsWa9
battle of words with the other Imperial Family members. She took the sip of the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosXPVmg1Jn
tea while noticing that Feng Quan was trying hard to maintain her smile.
‘Did she notice someone?’ Feng Ning glanced to the side449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uU2QlLD7L
naturally and noticed a group of people were staying not far from them. Being449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKWqGCAASX
able to sit in location near the Imperial Family only showed that their449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR4pT8KBHC
statuses were not bad.
Unfortunately, Feng Ning didn’t know everyone.
They would only introduce themselves later on when they449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROOawGAW5t
reached that segment.
“His Majesty, Her Majesty, and Her Highness Princess Mei Ni449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbqcFj1r6p
had arrived.”
The moment the eunuch announced the Emperor’s arrival,449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNSAFwhkMG
everyone stood up from their chairs and kowtowed to the ground. Feng Ning449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O9t4Mp9aN
followed their movement and noticed that the atmosphere turned tense almost449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZWJovVr0U
immediately. The stifling atmosphere reminded her of her school days when the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzdfX4dKcn
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 the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZqrMVtFpN
same time, it carried hint of bloodlust that he didn’t even bother to conceal.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tvOHfPCJq
Some children were trembling and stifling their tears from the moment the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK2NjW4Tc4
Emperor had arrived.
Feng Ning took a deep breath as she raised her head for a449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yKKOv26VS
brief moment before lowering her head once more. She only took a brief look,449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b4lYcLzAy
but she had seen the Emperor’s face. He didn’t look that much different449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHPGSWjyC7
compared to her mother, around 60 to 70 percent similar. However, his eyes were449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mOmVBd72q
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 was449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfwugWVenj
meeting with someone who glanced at everyone here as if they owed billions to449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SLdxVJAcd
him. It was not a nice feeling.
As for the Empress… she was a beautiful woman. However, she449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hqaGJEzXO
never gave birth to any child for the Emperor and was probably nothing more449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbnk11q1h4
than a figurehead. However, the air that she exuded still gave out the word449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxbIfFHM94
authority.
Princess Lin Mei Ni was the only surviving younger449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT0LeBg4OZ
generation.
As for why Feng Ning called her that way, it was obviously449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyu1yksgHN
because she had heard that there were countless imperial concubines who had449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx4wPuiIID
died in the past decade. Not to mention, there were also various attacks449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRu4IuJmcb
directed at the children who were born for the Emperor that many of them didn’t449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW53JdD1HkA
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. That449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59n64SN0Dw
was quite an unfortunate luck for him.
Cruel and cold blooded. That was the only description that449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkzm83ZVQH
Feng Ning could give when she saw the Emperor.
“Today marks New Year and this time there are a lot of449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGOaY83oiG
vassal kingdoms have sent their regards. This banquet is also to welcome them449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJDg889gCJ
all.”
Ah right…
Lin Tang Kingdom was a powerful kingdom that also ‘claimed’449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPdSU3BHEM
many areas as their vassal. Those who didn’t want to obey were destroyed one by449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0to21djU24
one until this time, where everyone was basically forced to follow them. With449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc98qhpEcvq
the power that Lin Tang Kingdom’s hold, Feng Ning had no doubt that this449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduGHVJYd2Q
kingdom would be heading towards its peak soon.
Of course, that was only if the Emperor could hold onto his449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSmVMteHBM
chair.
‘What in the world am I thinking….’
Feng Ning lowered her head and focused on eating the food in449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLhsHWdYRh
front of her. For some reasons, she couldn’t help but think that the peace she449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb3oLUxcJG
had right now was nothing more than being superficial. It was a fragile peace449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrPJ0NVEvL
that could be broken so easily.
“Imperial Cousins.”
Hearing the cheerful voice, Feng Ning’s body stiffened449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAFl2LNYb7
slightly. She raised her head and made sure that she put on a blank look as she449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO148TNXbwH
looked at Princess Mei Ni who came towards them.
Lin Mei Ni.
The only child of the current Emperor who survived. It was449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0BzhF4mP7
needless to say that her mother was a favored concubine and that she managed to449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXar2ARZKcv
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 being449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lrIA62gVi
only 7 years old. Nevertheless, Feng Ning recognized the gaze that Lin Mei Ni449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiZhtsDV2F
held when she was looking in their direction that appeared for a split second.
Disgust.
Feng Ning pushed her feelings down and showed a foolish449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1OfRql1gW
smile. “Imperial Cousin Mei Ni.”
Beside her, Feng Quan and Feng Zhu Liu also suppressed their449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcy7vlD6r8
expression as they greeted Lin Mei Ni politely.
“This is the first time we meet with each other. Imperial449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT7BVDp7Pf
Mother taught me that I should be polite, so I have prepared presents for all449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUGFwfBQXB
of you,” Lin Mei Ni said with sweet tone.
Feng Ning was utterly speechless. Did this Lin Mei Ni think449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB7DCwLfIh
of herself as an elder? The way she conducted herself would make her look as if449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtFt2r6hxz
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 prepare449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFGEP89bOa
anything for you.” Feng Ning looked troubled.
Feng Quan’s eyes burned with fury while Feng Zhi Liu was449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL4n72TqK9
more interested in what kind of present they were.
Lin Mei Ni smiled, her expression still looked like that of449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF5T5L8lQZ
a sweet girl. “It’s fine. I’m the one who want to stay close with all of you.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm9GfUO6vF
Do you perhaps dislike the presents?”
“Not at all, Imperial Cousin.” Feng Quan forced a smile.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt14oOgH5k9
However, she was older than Lin Mei Ni, so how could she not understand the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0fTVo58vG
intention of her cousin? It was as if she was telling them that she would449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jKZyge0fO
always be above them in terms of seniority.
She was infuriated, but she couldn’t possibly lash out in449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMvd6j36eo
this kind of place.
Feng Ning and Feng Zhu Liu also expressed that they didn’t449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVBIpTvDmH
mind as they accepted the present.
“That’s good.” Lin Mei Ni curtsied and didn’t stay there any449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWgeHzyulq
longer before returning to her parents. It was time for them to watch the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM3ydsKQrN
performance and to make sure that they all enjoyed the night.
Feng Quan snorted as her grip tightened. It was clear that449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrKnUuDKtV
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 as449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nuoHNfEHy
smiled faintly. In the past, she often watched historical drama and always felt449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehc5ON2vgW
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 like449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nzk53VW1n
that. But if they wanted to survive, they had no other choice but to grow up to449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShDiQKebny
be the scheming ones.
If they failed, they would die.
As simple as that.
‘The most glorious place is also the dirtiest place.’
