Chapter 1321: Xiang Family Banquet 7
Emperor Beili was silent for a moment, his eyes still scrutinizing him. He slowly spoke, "The Xiang family has close ties with Xiyanyuan. You might be in danger if you go there."
Sang Rui straightened his back and said, "As the prince of Beili, I should consider the interests of the country and the people. I will act with caution and live up to my mission."
Emperor Beili was silent for a while after hearing this. He raised his hand slightly and waved it towards the people below: "You can withdraw first."
"yes."
"I will take my leave."
The officials below saluted and left the hall.
There was no sign of surprise on Sang Rui's face, and he continued to kneel straight.
The scrutiny in Emperor Beili's eyes gradually faded, and he completely took his son, whom he had neglected for so many years, in the eye. "Seventh Brother, have you ever blamed me all these years?"
Sang Rui's eyes were calm as he spoke slowly, "Father, I have never blamed you. I know that you are the ruler of a country and must prioritize national affairs."
Emperor Beili nodded slightly, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes. "You've suffered a lot these past few years. I've always been paying attention to you. I see your abilities. This martial arts competition is a test from your father. If you do it well, it will silence the gossips of the civil and military officials in the future."
Sang Rui said firmly, "I understand. I will do my best to complete my mission and not let you down."
The Emperor of Beili stood up, walked over to Sang Rui, and offered his hand to help him up. "I trust you. You are representing the reputation of Beili when you go to the Xiang family. I will prepare generous gifts for you. When you arrive at the Xiang family, you must not act rashly. I will send Li Quande to accompany you."
Sang Rui respectfully accepted the order: "Your son will follow your father's instructions."

The entrance to the Xiang Mansion was bustling with activity. Although the Xiang family had a rule that only the head of a family or sect could enter, the queue of people to enter was still very long. The one who welcomed the guests at the entrance was the old steward of the Zhan Mansion.
The old butler had never taken care of so many guests in his entire life in Beijing. He was very busy, but there was a hint of pride on his face.
In the crowd, an old man and a middle-aged man pushed through the crowd and walked out, followed by a young man who was wearing a bright red shirt and had an incredibly beautiful face.
When the onlookers saw the man's face, the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down for a moment.
Immediately, the crowd erupted in exclamations and whispers. "Whose son is this? He's so stunningly handsome!"
The man had a cold face and frowned.
When Mr. Feng heard everyone's discussion, his face was full of pride. Although his grandson's face was not as handsome as the little girl's, it was still so handsome that it would be hard to find even with a lantern.
If this boy catches the little girl's eye, oh my, the more he thinks about it, the smile on Old Feng's face will almost split to the back of his ears.
He flicked his sleeves and turned to look at his grandson. The smile on his lips paused, and his eyes were full of warning: "Don't even think about running away, you little brat. If you don't behave yourself today, I'll die in front of you."
Feng Xiuyi: “…”
I don’t know what was wrong with the old man, but he sent people to kidnap him and bring him to Beili.
"...Mr. Feng wouldn't do that." Wei Zheng couldn't help but interrupt.
"Hmph. Anyway, the only granddaughter-in-law I like is Ye Qianning. If this guy doesn't care about her, what's the point of me still being alive?" Old Feng snorted.
Wei Zheng: “…”
"Grandpa, you've been bewitched."
"You little bastard, you..."
Wei Zheng quickly pulled him back: "Mr. Feng, it's not good to fight in front of someone's door."
"Hmph, you little brat, I'll settle the score with you when I get back." Old Feng angrily broke free from Wei Zheng's hand, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the door of his house.
