Everyone knew that Old Man Jie Mo was Emperor Yuan Yang's steward, effectively the Emperor's spokesman. The moment they saw him arrive, they immediately shut their mouths, not daring to say another word.
"Thank you all for coming to attend His Excellency the Emperor's birthday banquet. However, His Excellency is currently discussing matters with several Great Emperors and may need some time before he can come out. I hope you will forgive him!"
Old Man Jie Mo said.
"Not at all. His Excellency the Emperor handles countless affairs every day, while we have nothing to do. Waiting a while is nothing!"
"Lord Jie Mo is too courteous. It is only proper for us to wait for His Excellency the Emperor. Why speak of forgiveness?"
"Yes, waiting a little longer is a small matter..."
At these words, everyone smiled at once.
Since it was Emperor Yuan Yang's birthday banquet, other Great Emperors would naturally be attending as well. The circle in which Great Emperors socialized was naturally that of other Great Emperors. It was perfectly normal for him to attend to that circle first before coming to see them, and no one felt slighted because of it.
On the contrary, the fact that he had specifically sent Lord Jie Mo to inform them made everyone feel that Emperor Yuan Yang was kind and approachable.
"Then I must thank you all for your magnanimity!"
Hearing their words, Old Man Jie Mo smiled. "The individual gifts have already been tallied. To keep everyone from waiting anxiously, His Excellency has ranked the treasures that entered the inner hall! This old servant will read the list aloud, which will also convey His Excellency's consideration!"
As he spoke, Old Man Jie Mo flipped his wrist, and a golden proclamation appeared before him.
