Lan Bing'er smiled bashfully.
Su Nianxia, on the other hand, was wearing a set of light pink silk clothes with crabapple embroidered on it.
Hua Ruge looked at her features that were getting more and more exquisite, and felt that this child must have grown up to be a great beauty.
However, Su Nianxia himself didn't seem to be satisfied with it. He looked at himself and then at Hua Ruge, and the more he looked, the more self-abased he felt.
Hua Ruge did not want to be high-profile today, so he chose to wear a set of clothes that was not bright at all, it was sky blue. However, Lan Bing'er ordered his men to prepare it in an exquisite manner, so the clothes were specially made for the royal family's floating brocades of light.
It was different from normal flowers and plants, where white embroidery threads were used to create the pattern of clouds, making it look elegant and ethereal. The clothes, when paired with Hua Ruge's beautiful, alluring, and fairy-like face, made her look like a bright pearl, which could be easily seen even if she stood there.
Lan Bing'er looked very satisfied, and at the same time, he was full of admiration and envy.
Hua Ruge looked at the two's colors, then looked at his own clothes, feeling even more awkward.
"I say, Bing-Er, this is not a beauty pageant. Is it really appropriate for me to look that good?" she said.
"Since it's not a beauty pageant, doesn't this sister's attire affect others?" Lan Bing'er said with a smile.
Su Nianxia thought for a while, "Seems to make sense."
Hua Ruge raised her eyebrows, and in that moment, she could not find the right words to say. She was not the type of person who cared about the opinions of others, so she did not think about changing clothes.
"Xiao Binger, it's yours." Su Nianxia praised.
Lan Bing'er's smile still had a tinge of shyness.
Hua Ruge felt that this girl was smart to the point that she didn't seem to have any edge at all. She looked easy to bully, but if someone forced her to show it, then that person would definitely be dead.
Although Su Nianxia was smart, it was clear that he did not have the foresight. If everything were written on his face, if he were to fight with others, he would very likely be at a disadvantage.
"Have I gotten skinnier recently?" Su Nianxia caressed his face and asked.
Lan Bing'er drank his tea silently.
Hua Ruge looked at her and laughed, then lowered his head and pretended not to hear her.
These days, she only ate and slept. Not only did she not lose weight, she even gained a bit of weight. If not for her natural beauty, she would have eaten a lot instead of looking cute right now.
Seeing their expressions, Su Nianxia understood immediately. She laid on the table helplessly and started to sigh.
Lan Bing'er could not bear to watch any longer and opened his mouth to console her: "You're also very good-looking like this.
Unexpectedly, not only did these words fail to comfort her, they instead made Su Nianxia glance at him unhappily. "She's just planning to let others live."
Lan Bing'er lightly coughed above and indeed, he had nothing to say.
Hua Ruge knew he was in the wrong, and rubbed his nose without saying a word.
The entire morning passed quickly, and after eating less lunch, the three of them rode the carriage from Priestess Palace towards the imperial palace.
Because it was the High Priest's journey this time, there were sixteen luxurious horse carriages. Each team wore white armor and rode on white horses while there were eighteen female Priestess guards wearing masks on both sides of the carriages. There were over a thousand people in total.
Everywhere the carriage passed, the people would kneel down in salute.
Su Nianxia lifted the carriage's curtain and took a step back, then exclaimed as he looked at the scene outside: "As expected of the High Priest, you sure are impressive."
Lan Bing'er held onto the mask in his hand, and helplessly said when he heard this: "I don't want to either, it's all troublesome looking."
Hua Ruge nodded in deep agreement.
"That's true." Su Nianxia put down the curtain and said.
That was why all the streets in the city were filled with carriages. Luckily, no one dared to drive in front of the High Priest's carriage, which prevented Hua Ruge from encountering the ancient carriage jam.
The Priestess Palace wasn't far from the palace, and they quickly reached the palace gate. Whether it was an official or an official's carriage, they would reach their destination, but Lan Bing'er's carriage was allowed to travel inside the palace.
This was the third time Hua Ruge had entered the palace, and the Da Yu Palace looked the same as before.
It was said that the palace was rebuilt by Jun Tianxia back in his days, so just by looking at the style, one could more or less understand Jun Tianxia's personality.
The Palace Feast was at the Guangde Palace. Because the Palace Feast had not started, everyone was waiting outside.
The High Priest's carriage stopped in front of the entrance to the palace. The envoys all stepped aside, not daring to raise their heads.
This was the first time that she had ever been to the Da Yu Palace, and was curious about everything. Looking at her now, she seemed like a curious baby, and the weird aura on her body made people who looked at her feel really fond of her at first glance.
The second one to get off the carriage was Hua Ruge. In this kind of situation, she was rather proper and elegant, but her aura was stable, causing people to not only admire her, but also feel reverence for her.
Lan Bing'er, supported by the two priests, got off the carriage. She was already wearing a mask, which covered her nose and appearance, making it difficult to see what she looked like. She had a kind of pressure on her body, as though it was pressing on people's hearts, causing them to subconsciously lower their heads, and what they saw was only her white robes.
The three of them entered together. At this time, the hall was already prepared, but without a host sitting down, the three of them went straight to the rear hall. As the representative of the power of the Da Yu God, the high priest was going to fight alongside the emperor.
The back and front hall were two rooms, separated by a screen carved with dragons and phoenixes.
When they arrived at the back of the palace, a palace maid had already brewed tea and served it to them. The three of them sat inside to rest.
"This place is really big, more than five times bigger than our Zheng's palace." Su Nianxia lamented.
Lan Bing'er nodded: "This palace was built according to the liking of a Monarch, so naturally it has to be a bit grandiose."
"No wonder." Hearing Jun Tianxia, Su Nianxia's eyes started to shine.
Hua Ruge did not deny that Jun Tianxia was indeed a natural born emperor.
"The Monarch has arrived!"
A eunuch's voice dragged with a long sound could be heard from outside the hall.

Following that, the north gate of the rear hall opened, and what entered his vision was a dark blue dragon robe, a flat crown on his head, handsome features, and a sharp gaze, Jun Tianxia.
He dismissed the eunuch at his side and slowly stepped into the room.
The three women stood up.
Lan Bing'er lowered his head slightly, as if he was saying something.
Because Hua Ruge and Su Nianxia were not from their own country, they also lowered their heads and indicated to him.
"Please sit, High Priest and the two of you." Jun Tianxia showed a rare gentle expression on his face.
