Lin Hu Xi was around 11 years old, but he had a proud look296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRXC0edjxN
on his face as he greeted his aunt. Smiling yet not smiling, he performed his296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx5JsxTd4y
greetings flawlessly.
Feng Ning watched everything from the back, amused by their296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ5Q5XotNb
performances, but she said nothing. She had no place to even interfere and296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8U1cyYlkM
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 more296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEG7c2dPW4
than someone who was staying at the shadow and being unnoticed. In the end, all296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpSliRV1ag
that she could do was to watch as others interacted and showed off their296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK0C8fSYxg
skills.
‘I like this silence, though.’
With no one bothering her, Feng Ning was watching her mother296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDaao8grmY
battle of words with the other Imperial Family members. She took the sip of the296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gyiWfbU45
tea while noticing that Feng Quan was trying hard to maintain her smile.
‘Did she notice someone?’ Feng Ning glanced to the side296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqCrhDG94l
naturally and noticed a group of people were staying not far from them. Being296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYws95Stz9
able to sit in location near the Imperial Family only showed that their296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90Q8Y6CVgs
statuses were not bad.
Unfortunately, Feng Ning didn’t know everyone.
They would only introduce themselves later on when they296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nMPhH4M8e
reached that segment.
“His Majesty, Her Majesty, and Her Highness Princess Mei Ni296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowwhYsyRCa
had arrived.”
The moment the eunuch announced the Emperor’s arrival,296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3poHVkm3T
everyone stood up from their chairs and kowtowed to the ground. Feng Ning296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvsHafcv2Y
followed their movement and noticed that the atmosphere turned tense almost296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9NVxpFURP
immediately. The stifling atmosphere reminded her of her school days when the296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGMBPz5FWD
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 the296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJArYgePKb
same time, it carried hint of bloodlust that he didn’t even bother to conceal.296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP20bW725i0
Some children were trembling and stifling their tears from the moment the296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC3SjWtGhq
Emperor had arrived.
Feng Ning took a deep breath as she raised her head for a296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8utIAbomA
brief moment before lowering her head once more. She only took a brief look,296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrVC9I3S8g
but she had seen the Emperor’s face. He didn’t look that much different296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcib3EGrSt3
compared to her mother, around 60 to 70 percent similar. However, his eyes were296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPdMUOgweh
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 was296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc3ZM3iXSF
meeting with someone who glanced at everyone here as if they owed billions to296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z93AeGUC2
him. It was not a nice feeling.
As for the Empress… she was a beautiful woman. However, she296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6lJ0UNaB9
never gave birth to any child for the Emperor and was probably nothing more296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFZ28SrLmz
than a figurehead. However, the air that she exuded still gave out the word296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWKteIgviZ
authority.
Princess Lin Mei Ni was the only surviving younger296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT49njYZWft
generation.
As for why Feng Ning called her that way, it was obviously296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46nf7QlmUc
because she had heard that there were countless imperial concubines who had296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCHKAeTZic
died in the past decade. Not to mention, there were also various attacks296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf3E2qen5Z
directed at the children who were born for the Emperor that many of them didn’t296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPZHCbWh0P
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. That296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OikRP3eGB
was quite an unfortunate luck for him.
Cruel and cold blooded. That was the only description that296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3KHrEfEy3
Feng Ning could give when she saw the Emperor.
“Today marks New Year and this time there are a lot of296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fRWIwwSc7
vassal kingdoms have sent their regards. This banquet is also to welcome them296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv54MYwKyh3
all.”
Ah right…
Lin Tang Kingdom was a powerful kingdom that also ‘claimed’296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2xExaEvJS
many areas as their vassal. Those who didn’t want to obey were destroyed one by296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hTSqygOOP
one until this time, where everyone was basically forced to follow them. With296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGugJQI5bz
the power that Lin Tang Kingdom’s hold, Feng Ning had no doubt that this296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwt88hoiPL
kingdom would be heading towards its peak soon.
Of course, that was only if the Emperor could hold onto his296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlejJgirDpO
chair.
‘What in the world am I thinking….’
Feng Ning lowered her head and focused on eating the food in296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNONv1B2X75
front of her. For some reasons, she couldn’t help but think that the peace she296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dGmuvw4aq
had right now was nothing more than being superficial. It was a fragile peace296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywnpChCgOD
that could be broken so easily.
“Imperial Cousins.”
Hearing the cheerful voice, Feng Ning’s body stiffened296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhXbXotgeX
slightly. She raised her head and made sure that she put on a blank look as she296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ymYVhUTGa
looked at Princess Mei Ni who came towards them.
Lin Mei Ni.
The only child of the current Emperor who survived. It was296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGN661PaQl
needless to say that her mother was a favored concubine and that she managed to296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BSPsVUXRF
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 being296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBvWfi7svq
only 7 years old. Nevertheless, Feng Ning recognized the gaze that Lin Mei Ni296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVQCANhTpG
held when she was looking in their direction that appeared for a split second.
Disgust.
Feng Ning pushed her feelings down and showed a foolish296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblSnkbaqpj
smile. “Imperial Cousin Mei Ni.”
Beside her, Feng Quan and Feng Zhu Liu also suppressed their296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaisuhF3Cz
expression as they greeted Lin Mei Ni politely.
“This is the first time we meet with each other. Imperial296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFonXP33vb1
Mother taught me that I should be polite, so I have prepared presents for all296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBNw2LpWJc
of you,” Lin Mei Ni said with sweet tone.
Feng Ning was utterly speechless. Did this Lin Mei Ni think296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWOVrZh6s5
of herself as an elder? The way she conducted herself would make her look as if296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxFGKtcWqN
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 prepare296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQKssAEOzQ
anything for you.” Feng Ning looked troubled.
Feng Quan’s eyes burned with fury while Feng Zhi Liu was296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWToKgouiJ
more interested in what kind of present they were.
Lin Mei Ni smiled, her expression still looked like that of296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHorFoROmiP
a sweet girl. “It’s fine. I’m the one who want to stay close with all of you.296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpJL2Pih2H
Do you perhaps dislike the presents?”
“Not at all, Imperial Cousin.” Feng Quan forced a smile.296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosxXE4Ww26
However, she was older than Lin Mei Ni, so how could she not understand the296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA71wehlxOA
intention of her cousin? It was as if she was telling them that she would296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdP9feeY4f
always be above them in terms of seniority.
She was infuriated, but she couldn’t possibly lash out in296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKcAydjCT1
this kind of place.
Feng Ning and Feng Zhu Liu also expressed that they didn’t296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEeaUlH8F6
mind as they accepted the present.
“That’s good.” Lin Mei Ni curtsied and didn’t stay there any296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwD7MrfVQW
longer before returning to her parents. It was time for them to watch the296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LB5FntFUA
performance and to make sure that they all enjoyed the night.
Feng Quan snorted as her grip tightened. It was clear that296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhueh18iy9
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 as296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3NvkL1stE
smiled faintly. In the past, she often watched historical drama and always felt296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh95nwNZOb
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 like296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWnsSHyyxF
that. But if they wanted to survive, they had no other choice but to grow up to296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB03iHrRuDD
be the scheming ones.
If they failed, they would die.
As simple as that.
‘The most glorious place is also the dirtiest place.’
