My best friends both transmigrated into a book and married powerful officials; she left me and I lef

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Hengzhi turned and walked out, leaving Sang Luan with only a cold back view.

Sang Luan looked bewildered. Was this person alright? Had his manic episode relapsed?

She reached out and touched her cheek, feeling the smooth texture on her skin, and was very satisfied.

A moment later, the group arrived at the palace gate.

Unfortunately, the Feng family's sedan chair and the Prince's sedan chair happened to be one after the other.

Qi Ran poked half his head out of the sedan chair and immediately recognized Feng Hengzhi's sedan chair.

"Hurry, hurry, go faster, overtake Feng Hengzhi." Qi Ran clenched his right fist and gave himself a pep talk.

Jiang Zhuo glared at Qi Ran and slapped him on the back of the head. "Today is a palace banquet. Behave yourself. Don't act like a child and cause trouble for Lord Feng in front of the Emperor later."

"What kind of adult is he?" Qi Ran muttered under his breath, pursing his lips.

Qi Shangqing glanced at him silently, his fist slowly hardening.

Qi Ran's eyelids twitched. "Okay, okay, I understand. I know what I'm doing."

A prince, swearing by force at the drop of a hat, he has no martial ethics!

Meng Youning's expression shifted slightly, and she gripped the handkerchief in her hand even tighter.

Feng Hengzhi? Then Luan'er is right in front of her.

According to the rules, everyone entering the palace banquet must be checked at the palace gate. Only after the check is completed can they be led into the main hall by the eunuchs.

The next instant, both groups of people stopped at the same time.

Qi Ran hurriedly got out of the car and immediately saw that annoying figure. He raised his neck and shouted loudly in Feng Hengzhi's direction, "This young master is here, everyone get out of the way."

After saying that, he swaggered forward, his tone full of provocation and his face full of disdain.

Feng Hengzhi, who was originally planning to go first, paused slightly after hearing his words. He turned around and saw Qi Ran's arrogant face.

Other ministers also arrived with him.

Some people saw the situation from afar and wisely took a detour.

One of them was a precocious and resourceful young man who was a favorite of the emperor, while the other was a member of the imperial family and the eldest son of Prince Yi. Both were people in the court who wanted to curry favor with him.

When these two get together, nothing good ever comes of it.

Unfortunately, they couldn't afford to offend either of these two people, so they simply bowed to the Prince Yi and his wife and Feng Shinian from a distance.

"Feng Hengzhi, you knew all along that I was coming." Qi Ran slightly raised his eyes, looking at Feng Hengzhi casually. "Why did you have to block my path? What are your true intentions?"

"I am a member of the royal family. By all accounts, you should bow to me," Qi Ran said arrogantly, arms crossed.

Sang Luan couldn't help but look up at Qi Ran, and Meng You Ning also slightly raised her eyes. In an instant, their gazes met in the air.

They both understood the meaning in each other's eyes, and then casually looked away.

"How has Your Highness been lately?" Feng Shinian smiled and nodded slightly to Qi Shangqing. "So it's the young master. My son was impolite. Please forgive him."

Liu Wenxian tugged at Feng Hengzhi's sleeve, her heart pounding in her chest. With a forced smile, she said, "It's better to avoid trouble. He's the young master, so you..."

Feng Hengzhi glanced at her indifferently, and Liu Wenxian's words were stuck in her throat.

Hengzhi has always been a strong-willed child with an inherent pride. It's simply impossible for her to get the other party to back down in this situation.

She lowered her head, concealing the myriad thoughts in her eyes.

Feng Hengzhi first nodded to Qi Shangqing, then snorted coldly at Qi Ran with a disdainful expression, "Fine, I'm afraid you can't see clearly, come closer."

After saying that, he waved to Qi Ran.

"What a joke!" Qi Ran slightly turned to the side, took a step back, and glared at him coldly. "Who do you think you are? You think you can just tell me to go over and I'll go over?"

A hint of suspicion flashed across his face. He didn't believe Feng Hengzhi would listen to him so readily.

Qi Ran's lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he suddenly stumbled. His eyes widened, and he turned around to roar, but he immediately saw Qi Shangqing's foot, which he hadn't had time to retract.

He murmured a few times, and when he looked up again, he met Qi Shangqing's extremely threatening eyes.

There was a moment of silence.

"Don't take it to heart, everyone," Qi Shangqing said with a smile. "That kid just deserves a beating."

After saying that, she took a few steps forward, then turned around and saw that Qi Ran was still standing there. Her face turned cold. "Aren't you leaving?"

Qi Ran hesitated for a moment, then strode forward in the blink of an eye. As she passed Feng Heng, she glared at him fiercely, "I'll let you off the hook for today."

Having witnessed the whole thing, Sang Luan was dumbfounded. Had Qi Ran been bluffing all along?

"Prince?"

A lazy voice sounded from behind.

Qi Ran turned around abruptly, her eyes lighting up immediately, "Changfeng?"

"Hello, Uncle Gu." Qi Ran took the opportunity to greet Gu Shouqian, who was standing behind Gu Changfeng.

Gu Shouqian craned his neck and jogged forward, wanting to say a few words to Qi Shangqing.

To everyone's surprise, Qi Shangqing simply nodded coldly at him, then took Qi Ran's hand and left.

Qi Ran kept turning back, wanting to say a few more words to Gu Changfeng.

"You should associate with Gu Changfeng less in the future," Qi Shangqing said coldly.

Qi Ran paused involuntarily. "Why?"

Jiang Zhuo turned around and glanced at the person behind her, then quickly looked away. "Just listen to your father."

Gu Shouqian showed no sign of embarrassment; on the contrary, his smile widened.

He stepped toward Feng Shinian, about to speak.

Feng Hengzhi turned and left, saying, "Let's go too."

This left Gu Shouqian and his companion completely stranded.

Gu Shouqian slowly lowered his hand, silently staring at the departing figures of Feng Hengzhi and his group, his fists clenched tightly together.

His eyebrows were slightly raised, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

Gu Changfeng called him several times, but when he didn't respond, he simply waved his hand in front of Gu Shouqian's eyes, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Turning his gaze away, Gu Shouqian looked up, his face full of disappointment, "What a waste!"

His anger was palpable, and he stormed toward the palace gate.

Gu Changfeng was confused, but the next moment, he still followed along eagerly.

As soon as she entered the palace gate, Sang Luan caught a glimpse of a pale yellow figure flashing past from a corner in front of her.

She squinted, trying to see more clearly, but the pale yellow hue seemed to have never appeared at all.

Following her gaze, the little eunuch smiled and said, "That was a play specially ordered by His Majesty for the new beauty. They are the people from the opera troupe."

Those people actually entered the palace at the same time as them.

Sang Luan cried out and suddenly clutched her stomach.
