Lin Hu Xi was around 11 years old, but he had a proud look670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSI5pDluAZ
on his face as he greeted his aunt. Smiling yet not smiling, he performed his670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyKnzZNxot
greetings flawlessly.
Feng Ning watched everything from the back, amused by their670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKozgOgz3Tb
performances, but she said nothing. She had no place to even interfere and670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR63ay49MR
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 more670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbauV13Uzh
than someone who was staying at the shadow and being unnoticed. In the end, all670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPSZog5keJ
that she could do was to watch as others interacted and showed off their670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5QilEz0sb
skills.
‘I like this silence, though.’
With no one bothering her, Feng Ning was watching her mother670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNuEOWoI9L
battle of words with the other Imperial Family members. She took the sip of the670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBOWiTIlMO
tea while noticing that Feng Quan was trying hard to maintain her smile.
‘Did she notice someone?’ Feng Ning glanced to the side670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ca5EF7sV9
naturally and noticed a group of people were staying not far from them. Being670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVKtozBQvV
able to sit in location near the Imperial Family only showed that their670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A2LlXVe6G
statuses were not bad.
Unfortunately, Feng Ning didn’t know everyone.
They would only introduce themselves later on when they670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHDWNS3rJK
reached that segment.
“His Majesty, Her Majesty, and Her Highness Princess Mei Ni670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dH6NnXcPf
had arrived.”
The moment the eunuch announced the Emperor’s arrival,670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyXVVBs2FF
everyone stood up from their chairs and kowtowed to the ground. Feng Ning670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfYxoI3fmG
followed their movement and noticed that the atmosphere turned tense almost670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSGYo9Nc76
immediately. The stifling atmosphere reminded her of her school days when the670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXChhjkF0kq
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 the670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVIQ9om2fe
same time, it carried hint of bloodlust that he didn’t even bother to conceal.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZKAvKBM0b
Some children were trembling and stifling their tears from the moment the670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBW90mFdth
Emperor had arrived.
Feng Ning took a deep breath as she raised her head for a670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaVCnWmCii
brief moment before lowering her head once more. She only took a brief look,670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78ST1D7fAw
but she had seen the Emperor’s face. He didn’t look that much different670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ37nDrgq9t
compared to her mother, around 60 to 70 percent similar. However, his eyes were670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS413yeVQeJ
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 was670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyifLhXTgG
meeting with someone who glanced at everyone here as if they owed billions to670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiVFE3fJfM
him. It was not a nice feeling.
As for the Empress… she was a beautiful woman. However, she670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y4fFkxzpX
never gave birth to any child for the Emperor and was probably nothing more670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1emX3RXx7m
than a figurehead. However, the air that she exuded still gave out the word670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNTxPVjlru
authority.
Princess Lin Mei Ni was the only surviving younger670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO5dg55T17
generation.
As for why Feng Ning called her that way, it was obviously670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv2kE6OIcR
because she had heard that there were countless imperial concubines who had670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURdsw86ZP2
died in the past decade. Not to mention, there were also various attacks670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCAafqmrdL
directed at the children who were born for the Emperor that many of them didn’t670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe0VaE5tHn
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. That670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn7JcEO25O
was quite an unfortunate luck for him.
Cruel and cold blooded. That was the only description that670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnFjKWrjrh
Feng Ning could give when she saw the Emperor.
“Today marks New Year and this time there are a lot of670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4tKHPpUwm
vassal kingdoms have sent their regards. This banquet is also to welcome them670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz28k88pf0j
all.”
Ah right…
Lin Tang Kingdom was a powerful kingdom that also ‘claimed’670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapPd1sXRS8
many areas as their vassal. Those who didn’t want to obey were destroyed one by670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7isji4FCts
one until this time, where everyone was basically forced to follow them. With670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAOcHzR26g
the power that Lin Tang Kingdom’s hold, Feng Ning had no doubt that this670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtFNomrHrW
kingdom would be heading towards its peak soon.
Of course, that was only if the Emperor could hold onto his670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXECXrPrSg
chair.
‘What in the world am I thinking….’
Feng Ning lowered her head and focused on eating the food in670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcMBWhAxng
front of her. For some reasons, she couldn’t help but think that the peace she670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CZsHAmnes
had right now was nothing more than being superficial. It was a fragile peace670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlJF37gYCG
that could be broken so easily.
“Imperial Cousins.”
Hearing the cheerful voice, Feng Ning’s body stiffened670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCufej3YB6r
slightly. She raised her head and made sure that she put on a blank look as she670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPNVc5iEG5
looked at Princess Mei Ni who came towards them.
Lin Mei Ni.
The only child of the current Emperor who survived. It was670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoRrBRequ8
needless to say that her mother was a favored concubine and that she managed to670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICtnHsC66Q
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 being670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7CSwaUNMo
only 7 years old. Nevertheless, Feng Ning recognized the gaze that Lin Mei Ni670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmZ74zO40V
held when she was looking in their direction that appeared for a split second.
Disgust.
Feng Ning pushed her feelings down and showed a foolish670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kNGpSYEg7
smile. “Imperial Cousin Mei Ni.”
Beside her, Feng Quan and Feng Zhu Liu also suppressed their670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcp9OvzBMO
expression as they greeted Lin Mei Ni politely.
“This is the first time we meet with each other. Imperial670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3mV0drzHc
Mother taught me that I should be polite, so I have prepared presents for all670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKdi7J1pql
of you,” Lin Mei Ni said with sweet tone.
Feng Ning was utterly speechless. Did this Lin Mei Ni think670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIoH2qIy91
of herself as an elder? The way she conducted herself would make her look as if670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYybLVsR2C
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 prepare670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVR9f1JndO
anything for you.” Feng Ning looked troubled.
Feng Quan’s eyes burned with fury while Feng Zhi Liu was670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjW9IrYIsq
more interested in what kind of present they were.
Lin Mei Ni smiled, her expression still looked like that of670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRwN9wCTfC
a sweet girl. “It’s fine. I’m the one who want to stay close with all of you.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsHFF5czCK
Do you perhaps dislike the presents?”
“Not at all, Imperial Cousin.” Feng Quan forced a smile.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvoDbWPrjg
However, she was older than Lin Mei Ni, so how could she not understand the670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTWEY2MC7p
intention of her cousin? It was as if she was telling them that she would670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mhyJz8LKd
always be above them in terms of seniority.
She was infuriated, but she couldn’t possibly lash out in670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuwWgWTwGX
this kind of place.
Feng Ning and Feng Zhu Liu also expressed that they didn’t670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzpt3p16x7
mind as they accepted the present.
“That’s good.” Lin Mei Ni curtsied and didn’t stay there any670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyVKEeyGg2
longer before returning to her parents. It was time for them to watch the670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl2P8YPp7q
performance and to make sure that they all enjoyed the night.
Feng Quan snorted as her grip tightened. It was clear that670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXfGp2hULk
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 as670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqJt4hWUDg
smiled faintly. In the past, she often watched historical drama and always felt670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBH4Z3Bgcn
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 like670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJwaor4L2x
that. But if they wanted to survive, they had no other choice but to grow up to670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqdl5vGdf8
be the scheming ones.
If they failed, they would die.
As simple as that.
‘The most glorious place is also the dirtiest place.’
