Everyone present immediately arose, in no way daring to be lax, bowing respectfully in return to Zhou Yishui.
After the formalities, Zhou Yishui looked at the crowd, flashed a smile, and said, "The banquet today is to gather the talents of our Xuan Country. Though some are absent, this gathering is indeed a gathering of geniuses, signifying the unprecedented prosperity of our Xuan Country."
"The Crown Prince is right. Our Xuan Country is becoming stronger day by day, and it's only a matter of time before we surpass the other two countries."
"The rise of our Xuan Country is due to the royal family's efforts. Let's toast to the royal family."
"That's right, let's toast to the royal family."
···
Everyone was taking turns to flatter Zhou Yishui, the remaining ones were singing praises of the Xuan royal family. It is quite indistinguishable from bootlicking.
