"Flag bearer Huang Fu of the Qingfeng Camp, reporting from the South Heavenly Gate of the Heavenly Court, pays his respects to The Supreme Emperor!"
The flag was planted firmly in the ground. The young, white-haired man knelt on one knee, his face filled with excitement as he spoke.
"Rise." Xu Lai raised his hand gently, and Huang Fu stood up.
Huang Fu glanced at Ruan Lan and Xu Yiyi, who were peering out from the palanquin, and felt as if he had been struck by lightning. That little girl… she looks so much like The Supreme Emperor!
Just as he was about to bow again, Xu Lai stopped him. "There's no need for such ceremony."
Huang Fu clasped his fists and said, "Huang Fu pays his respects to Your Ladyship and to the Princess."
"Me? Your Ladyship?" Ruan Lan pointed to her own nose and said with a grin, "Do you think I'm beautiful?"
"Extremely beautiful!" Huang Fu nodded emphatically.
