After the song and dance concluded, the main hall fell silent once more.
The Old Emperor had just waved his hand to dismiss the dancers when the sound of He Lienuo clapping enthusiastically reverberated through the hall.
"Bravo! Absolutely wonderful! Dayong truly is a land of outstanding people and abundant resources. Even a simple dance can be so captivating! Remarkable!"
The Old Emperor's thick brows knit together briefly, but his face remained calm and amicable as he said, "The Crown Prince of Xiliang is too kind."
"Oh, how could it be mere flattery? No, no! I, the Crown Prince, really enjoyed that performance! What's this? Am I wrong? Doesn't everyone love it?"
He Lienuo looked around at everyone in the hall with an innocent expression, his wide eyes radiating a childlike earnestness, as if his praise were genuinely heartfelt.
