Lin Hu Xi was around 11 years old, but he had a proud look465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqOQ6EOBQJ
on his face as he greeted his aunt. Smiling yet not smiling, he performed his465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfynvwBAH8L
greetings flawlessly.
Feng Ning watched everything from the back, amused by their465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1avt2lxh2K
performances, but she said nothing. She had no place to even interfere and465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSYpfgDtoO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNtNd9faCV
than someone who was staying at the shadow and being unnoticed. In the end, all465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt08EvIqQv
that she could do was to watch as others interacted and showed off their465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZfdqILvyq
skills.
‘I like this silence, though.’
With no one bothering her, Feng Ning was watching her mother465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq9lXbdyAy
battle of words with the other Imperial Family members. She took the sip of the465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrzQuim2sS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnabN8EMfe
naturally and noticed a group of people were staying not far from them. Being465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKOdtfJuuI
able to sit in location near the Imperial Family only showed that their465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnkjrFQteT
statuses were not bad.
Unfortunately, Feng Ning didn’t know everyone.
They would only introduce themselves later on when they465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg6xGdipIO
reached that segment.
“His Majesty, Her Majesty, and Her Highness Princess Mei Ni465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kl3SI8Jtz
had arrived.”
The moment the eunuch announced the Emperor’s arrival,465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TJhSsfeFZ
everyone stood up from their chairs and kowtowed to the ground. Feng Ning465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr7T7JGLmn
followed their movement and noticed that the atmosphere turned tense almost465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMhnIRUzod
immediately. The stifling atmosphere reminded her of her school days when the465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnQEBgmvzP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopMJ40tWnU
same time, it carried hint of bloodlust that he didn’t even bother to conceal.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH4BoGReag
Some children were trembling and stifling their tears from the moment the465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjygDCGwSvm
Emperor had arrived.
Feng Ning took a deep breath as she raised her head for a465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jr6kZDXwk
brief moment before lowering her head once more. She only took a brief look,465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhNf5Hw4at
but she had seen the Emperor’s face. He didn’t look that much different465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgSiTWcLFe
compared to her mother, around 60 to 70 percent similar. However, his eyes were465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWWjMOD122
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n1iOxGJBd
meeting with someone who glanced at everyone here as if they owed billions to465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwRECxKTwz
him. It was not a nice feeling.
As for the Empress… she was a beautiful woman. However, she465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYSG6HcU4L
never gave birth to any child for the Emperor and was probably nothing more465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBc2Wj3GgN
than a figurehead. However, the air that she exuded still gave out the word465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjCheKmWZw
authority.
Princess Lin Mei Ni was the only surviving younger465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszBtJ3wv0P
generation.
As for why Feng Ning called her that way, it was obviously465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcNIvM2eNB
because she had heard that there were countless imperial concubines who had465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYfL4I1JRx
died in the past decade. Not to mention, there were also various attacks465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkB8ek4s56
directed at the children who were born for the Emperor that many of them didn’t465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEvw92znMo
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSRoytuv00
was quite an unfortunate luck for him.
Cruel and cold blooded. That was the only description that465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsiSnfy79T
Feng Ning could give when she saw the Emperor.
“Today marks New Year and this time there are a lot of465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RwDkEhdyH
vassal kingdoms have sent their regards. This banquet is also to welcome them465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4WkcbLHyQ
all.”
Ah right…
Lin Tang Kingdom was a powerful kingdom that also ‘claimed’465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8qhemb73g
many areas as their vassal. Those who didn’t want to obey were destroyed one by465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45vwALJ4f1
one until this time, where everyone was basically forced to follow them. With465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0Tmyade4o
the power that Lin Tang Kingdom’s hold, Feng Ning had no doubt that this465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAuEJ7YfQj
kingdom would be heading towards its peak soon.
Of course, that was only if the Emperor could hold onto his465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrHIwJQYPV
chair.
‘What in the world am I thinking….’
Feng Ning lowered her head and focused on eating the food in465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzFsH3VjXu
front of her. For some reasons, she couldn’t help but think that the peace she465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnJFCQjTyx
had right now was nothing more than being superficial. It was a fragile peace465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfQ8xPC8P1
that could be broken so easily.
“Imperial Cousins.”
Hearing the cheerful voice, Feng Ning’s body stiffened465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2OA98HVEi
slightly. She raised her head and made sure that she put on a blank look as she465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwlEunPorU
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu6rmg9uyw
needless to say that her mother was a favored concubine and that she managed to465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCmFmE4LUY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV4mRQB9Vp
only 7 years old. Nevertheless, Feng Ning recognized the gaze that Lin Mei Ni465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY2gfE1aWl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u6x7wojKE
smile. “Imperial Cousin Mei Ni.”
Beside her, Feng Quan and Feng Zhu Liu also suppressed their465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhUo0zLG10
expression as they greeted Lin Mei Ni politely.
“This is the first time we meet with each other. Imperial465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lPgT5D6t6
Mother taught me that I should be polite, so I have prepared presents for all465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ842p0Mm0pm
of you,” Lin Mei Ni said with sweet tone.
Feng Ning was utterly speechless. Did this Lin Mei Ni think465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaww3vZBPv6
of herself as an elder? The way she conducted herself would make her look as if465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmOSeNlktd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw9ctlie69
anything for you.” Feng Ning looked troubled.
Feng Quan’s eyes burned with fury while Feng Zhi Liu was465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH3lD5ZlbW
more interested in what kind of present they were.
Lin Mei Ni smiled, her expression still looked like that of465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoMjeLqTbk
a sweet girl. “It’s fine. I’m the one who want to stay close with all of you.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2lFNsPXJ3
Do you perhaps dislike the presents?”
“Not at all, Imperial Cousin.” Feng Quan forced a smile.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8fI5DBTrK
However, she was older than Lin Mei Ni, so how could she not understand the465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqCK6J4o3O
intention of her cousin? It was as if she was telling them that she would465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggAoIfBkRw
always be above them in terms of seniority.
She was infuriated, but she couldn’t possibly lash out in465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTFOJKovak
this kind of place.
Feng Ning and Feng Zhu Liu also expressed that they didn’t465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DbrKm6C4G
mind as they accepted the present.
“That’s good.” Lin Mei Ni curtsied and didn’t stay there any465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfBXtMyWm2
longer before returning to her parents. It was time for them to watch the465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9Lfzq6Y59
performance and to make sure that they all enjoyed the night.
Feng Quan snorted as her grip tightened. It was clear that465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4Y5wv7vrM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68cb6p2NzN
smiled faintly. In the past, she often watched historical drama and always felt465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qAQR3d21E
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO6Ufz7KUH
that. But if they wanted to survive, they had no other choice but to grow up to465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I20NOkwrp
be the scheming ones.
If they failed, they would die.
As simple as that.
‘The most glorious place is also the dirtiest place.’
