This sentence from the Qi Emperor caused some of the people from the diplomatic groups of Great Xia, Great Wei, Great Chu, and even Great Tang to turn unsightly.
There were four crown princes present here. No matter what, their statuses should be higher than Sun Mo, right?
Even if their statuses weren't that high in his eyes, there were still the second commander and the main commander of the respective groups.
The composition of these diplomatic groups was roughly the same as Great Tang's. Other than the personal teacher of the Xia Crown Prince not being present, the teachers of the other crown princes were here. Besides, they brought royal relatives similar to Li Xiu who was responsible for social interactions too. So no matter how one looked at the situation, it wouldn't be Sun Mo's turn to be greeted by the Qi Emperor first.
Usually speaking, in such social settings, the sequence of greeting had a rule to it.
