Li Feng adjusted his robes one last time and stepped out of the guest courtyard, with Yue Lan and Lan Suyao following gracefully behind him.
As he walked along the wide palace path toward the morning court session, the reactions around him were immediate and obvious.
Servants who were sweeping the grounds froze mid-motion, bowing deeply with clear reverence the moment they saw him.
There was even a few young female servants blushed furiously and stole quick glances, whispering excitedly among themselves.
"Did you see? That's Young Master Li Feng!"
"He really is as handsome and powerful as the rumors say…"
"Pa! You greedy slut! I was the one who noticed his extraordinariness before all of you!"
Even the imperial guards stationed along the path stood straighter, their eyes filled with admiration and respect.
One older guard captain cupped his fists and gave a deep bow as Li Feng passed.
Li Feng smiled wryly as he overheard the conversation between the servant girls.
