Lin Hu Xi was around 11 years old, but he had a proud look465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtIPaqiw9p
on his face as he greeted his aunt. Smiling yet not smiling, he performed his465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnLEVCNPVD
greetings flawlessly.
Feng Ning watched everything from the back, amused by their465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5ZQLqAueA
performances, but she said nothing. She had no place to even interfere and465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrkY19Tq7B
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 more465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMBF27hxYc
than someone who was staying at the shadow and being unnoticed. In the end, all465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei8wMhgELs
that she could do was to watch as others interacted and showed off their465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpGpsspZMb
skills.
‘I like this silence, though.’
With no one bothering her, Feng Ning was watching her mother465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8c6J5YCAk
battle of words with the other Imperial Family members. She took the sip of the465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSfJzYxesK
tea while noticing that Feng Quan was trying hard to maintain her smile.
‘Did she notice someone?’ Feng Ning glanced to the side465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7dwWBFrmK
naturally and noticed a group of people were staying not far from them. Being465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOMcppx8PG
able to sit in location near the Imperial Family only showed that their465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW8SZitLZ6
statuses were not bad.
Unfortunately, Feng Ning didn’t know everyone.
They would only introduce themselves later on when they465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFnsjOH2ip
reached that segment.
“His Majesty, Her Majesty, and Her Highness Princess Mei Ni465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q0aJFhRrD
had arrived.”
The moment the eunuch announced the Emperor’s arrival,465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wAELKX2VF
everyone stood up from their chairs and kowtowed to the ground. Feng Ning465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEdC4R3sox
followed their movement and noticed that the atmosphere turned tense almost465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgMtMqEF6c
immediately. The stifling atmosphere reminded her of her school days when the465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqNqSvnEnT
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 the465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN6XFHfGXp
same time, it carried hint of bloodlust that he didn’t even bother to conceal.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJStLANbBex
Some children were trembling and stifling their tears from the moment the465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLieUrCXusd
Emperor had arrived.
Feng Ning took a deep breath as she raised her head for a465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleWkmCYBCz
brief moment before lowering her head once more. She only took a brief look,465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXQUuVz7Qk
but she had seen the Emperor’s face. He didn’t look that much different465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qvgBX22Qi
compared to her mother, around 60 to 70 percent similar. However, his eyes were465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozhK9H9sRm
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 was465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1Kr4K6BB6
meeting with someone who glanced at everyone here as if they owed billions to465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj2jC6oSmI
him. It was not a nice feeling.
As for the Empress… she was a beautiful woman. However, she465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeojHJ4icc3
never gave birth to any child for the Emperor and was probably nothing more465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R8MIds1r7
than a figurehead. However, the air that she exuded still gave out the word465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwLLgbn3dE
authority.
Princess Lin Mei Ni was the only surviving younger465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4LBYEwyaU
generation.
As for why Feng Ning called her that way, it was obviously465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zzIPlWOpp
because she had heard that there were countless imperial concubines who had465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNWCkx3M0i
died in the past decade. Not to mention, there were also various attacks465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrTqXwW01e
directed at the children who were born for the Emperor that many of them didn’t465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOEAPtnU9c
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. That465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9zcA6pWmZ
was quite an unfortunate luck for him.
Cruel and cold blooded. That was the only description that465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBhrvPnvPq
Feng Ning could give when she saw the Emperor.
“Today marks New Year and this time there are a lot of465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3jOkEnADo
vassal kingdoms have sent their regards. This banquet is also to welcome them465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmsvdZ1Ou0
all.”
Ah right…
Lin Tang Kingdom was a powerful kingdom that also ‘claimed’465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ8oE9MX4p
many areas as their vassal. Those who didn’t want to obey were destroyed one by465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQaFcx3Zfo
one until this time, where everyone was basically forced to follow them. With465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPMD9b15mJ
the power that Lin Tang Kingdom’s hold, Feng Ning had no doubt that this465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS3HaBqa04
kingdom would be heading towards its peak soon.
Of course, that was only if the Emperor could hold onto his465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ48R2yOXc
chair.
‘What in the world am I thinking….’
Feng Ning lowered her head and focused on eating the food in465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2veblFN6PN
front of her. For some reasons, she couldn’t help but think that the peace she465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1S5XgHNTC
had right now was nothing more than being superficial. It was a fragile peace465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx1mJPVbGb
that could be broken so easily.
“Imperial Cousins.”
Hearing the cheerful voice, Feng Ning’s body stiffened465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5T9kAPmR5
slightly. She raised her head and made sure that she put on a blank look as she465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapCs7Dk4i8
looked at Princess Mei Ni who came towards them.
Lin Mei Ni.
The only child of the current Emperor who survived. It was465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H8f1MPp9X
needless to say that her mother was a favored concubine and that she managed to465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oHJUaL4Be
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 being465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv8b3u2To2
only 7 years old. Nevertheless, Feng Ning recognized the gaze that Lin Mei Ni465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCDzmxhrXQ
held when she was looking in their direction that appeared for a split second.
Disgust.
Feng Ning pushed her feelings down and showed a foolish465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1hYZ0yz2T
smile. “Imperial Cousin Mei Ni.”
Beside her, Feng Quan and Feng Zhu Liu also suppressed their465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORrWiHLpN6
expression as they greeted Lin Mei Ni politely.
“This is the first time we meet with each other. Imperial465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrFK6OFtYv
Mother taught me that I should be polite, so I have prepared presents for all465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NqcGacg3x
of you,” Lin Mei Ni said with sweet tone.
Feng Ning was utterly speechless. Did this Lin Mei Ni think465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUcOBPBl7G
of herself as an elder? The way she conducted herself would make her look as if465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdU059jCJv
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 prepare465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF99iGnQVh
anything for you.” Feng Ning looked troubled.
Feng Quan’s eyes burned with fury while Feng Zhi Liu was465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeZWTpeh2h
more interested in what kind of present they were.
Lin Mei Ni smiled, her expression still looked like that of465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNHQ5nkEaP
a sweet girl. “It’s fine. I’m the one who want to stay close with all of you.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIgDlqjV2Q
Do you perhaps dislike the presents?”
“Not at all, Imperial Cousin.” Feng Quan forced a smile.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM8UqB3PLV
However, she was older than Lin Mei Ni, so how could she not understand the465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJnTzVekri
intention of her cousin? It was as if she was telling them that she would465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUxt5rwzio
always be above them in terms of seniority.
She was infuriated, but she couldn’t possibly lash out in465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXRHg26ZQ6
this kind of place.
Feng Ning and Feng Zhu Liu also expressed that they didn’t465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03eU11nWm4
mind as they accepted the present.
“That’s good.” Lin Mei Ni curtsied and didn’t stay there any465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpyw9YTjjx
longer before returning to her parents. It was time for them to watch the465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbivoEqAC1Y
performance and to make sure that they all enjoyed the night.
Feng Quan snorted as her grip tightened. It was clear that465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX0ClTbZCY
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 as465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZxxqhdpUG
smiled faintly. In the past, she often watched historical drama and always felt465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5orDUgVGa
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 like465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrEqAPcsWx
that. But if they wanted to survive, they had no other choice but to grow up to465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywgwQHzU9F
be the scheming ones.
If they failed, they would die.
As simple as that.
‘The most glorious place is also the dirtiest place.’
