Normally, the King would handle the petitions in his Imperial Study. Yet he worked at the Qianqing Palace instead due to health problems. Now he was used to being here all the time.
Hearing that the Prince of the Fan Nation was asking for him, he got slightly confused.
The Prince and the Imperial Master came earlier than usual. Normally, he only received the guests when the other princes from the other countries were present. Now the King from the Saint Divine Land did not have to show them too much courtesy, since they already had the Lords keeping them company. After all, everyone knew what the Feather Mulberry Land was like nowadays.
So he nodded at the request, but the King did not show too much concern about that.
Prince Muyi and the Imperial Master greeted the King and after a long while, the King said, "Greetings, you don't have to be overly polite in front of me."
