Ye Li looked around and saw a huge crowd of people gradually coming in. The important figures from their countries who came to celebrate the birthday were arranged in an area here, while the people from Tianyue Country were sitting opposite.
The people from the Yuan Dynasty were sitting not far from them, and they were looking at them with hatred, as if they were about to rush up and kill them.
Li Rushan and Ye Li had no intention of paying any attention to each other. After all, this was the territory of Tianyue Kingdom. If the people of Dayuan Kingdom dared to take action here, they would not need to respond personally. The guards of Tianyue Kingdom would naturally help them take down the other party.
After almost half an hour of admission, the guests had already taken their seats one after another, and the whole square became very lively.
In the middle of the square there is a road paved with gold and red, extending all the way to a slightly higher platform in the front.
Judging from the furnishings on the stage, that should be where the Emperor Shenyue of Tianyue Kingdom sits.
Just after the guests greeted each other, a group of guards ran in from outside and began to line up on both sides of the carpet, surrounding the entire carpet.
"His Majesty the Emperor has added!!!"
Following a guard's loud announcement, all the guests in the venue suddenly quieted down and looked towards the end of the red carpet.
I saw a tall old man with a curly beard walking in from a distance under the protection of a group of guards. It was the Divine Moon Emperor - Yue Wushang himself.
Ye Li glanced towards the Divine Moon Emperor. He discovered that although the Divine Moon Emperor's cultivation was slightly higher than Li Tianyuan's, judging from his aura, Li Tianyuan was more like an emperor than the Divine Moon Emperor, and was full of domineering aura of ruling the world.
On the contrary, when Ye Li looked at Emperor Shenyue, he did not sense any domineering presence, but only a unique aura that was thick and gentle and could make people feel very peaceful.
When Emperor Shen Yue walked close to Ye Li and the others, Ye Li was finally able to take a closer look at the seventy-year-old Emperor of Tian Yue Kingdom.
The Emperor of the Moon God has a full-moon face and looks very easy-going, with a kind face, as if he has no murderous intentions at all.
Ye Li had met many leaders of forces in the past, but there were not many people who possessed such temperament. As leaders of major forces, most of them had a look of decisiveness and determination to kill.
Emperor Shenyue walked on the carpet to the high platform while nodding and smiling at the people around him, as a greeting to everyone.
Soon, he came to the podium and sat down, and the people below the stage looked up at the podium quietly.
Emperor Shenyue did not take the initiative to speak at this moment. Naturally, there was a master of ceremonies in charge of hosting and arranging the birthday banquet.
An old man walked up to the platform, glanced at the guests around him, and said, "First of all, on behalf of His Majesty Shen Yue, I would like to welcome all the guests and thank you for traveling thousands of miles to attend His Majesty's birthday banquet.
Today is the important day of Your Majesty’s 70th birthday and also the 40th year of Your Majesty’s accession to the throne. This is a very memorable event for Your Majesty.
That is why we hope that envoys from various countries can witness this moment with us.
Now I declare that the birthday banquet ceremony will begin now. We will first welcome envoys from various countries to present birthday gifts to His Majesty. "
Although Ye Li had never participated in a birthday party of this level, the situation was similar when he attended Ye Wujiu's birthday party at the Ye family in the past. The first thing to do was definitely to present birthday gifts.
Presenting birthday gifts was the responsibility of the envoys from various countries. The guests at the venue all sat quietly in their seats and had no intention of standing up.
The members of the first country's diplomatic delegation have already presented the list of birthday gifts to the platform.
After he handed over the list in his hand, the old man began to read from the list.
The first country was not a big country, and the value of the birthday gift was only average, so it did not attract much attention.
After the old man finished reading, the envoy hurriedly left the square.
Then people from the second country reported their gift lists.
One country after another, the ones that appeared in the front were all remote small countries, the gift list was relatively simple, and the number was not too large.
By the time the big countries behind began to present gifts, the list alone was as tall as a person, and the old man had a hard time reading it out.
Later on, when it came to superpowers such as Super Tang and Great Yuan, the list of birthday gifts became shorter again. However, although the list of gifts was shorter, the items were indeed much better than those given by previous countries.
Neither the Tang Dynasty nor the Yuan Dynasty used too many gifts to show off, but directly chose some very valuable and rare gifts as the main gifts in their hands.
After all, being able to get a lot of things is a sign of wealth, and being able to get rare and precious items is a symbol of status. This is what the Tang Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty wanted to express.
The presentation of birthday gifts was soon completed. The quality of the birthday gifts from the Tang Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty were equally good, and neither could outperform the other.
There was another round of eye contact between the two sides, and sparks flew between them.
Finally, after Emperor Shenyue gave a speech to everyone, the banquet officially began.
After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere suddenly became lively, and everyone started toasting each other, regardless of whether they knew each other or not.
Ye Li quickly attracted the attention of people from all over the world. After all, he was the first place in the Full Moon Hunter and had the identity of the Son of the Moon.
People around who didn't know Ye Li originally gradually heard about his past from other people and became interested in him. For a while, there seemed to be an endless stream of people toasting Ye Li.
Everyone wanted to meet this young master as soon as possible, so they lined up to toast him.
Fortunately, the wine used here is not so easy to get drunk, so Ye Li can rely on his drinking capacity to support himself.
While they were drinking, Yue Yingxian, who was previously responsible for receiving everyone, walked towards them, accompanied by a burly man.
The man was not wearing a robe, but a combat suit.
His attire immediately caught Ye Li's attention. After all, this was the emperor's birthday banquet. If he wore inappropriate clothes, it would obviously be a loss of face for Emperor Shen Yue.
However, when they saw the man's attire, the people from the Tianyue Country around him did not show any blaming expressions on their faces. Instead, they looked respectful.
"Your Highness Rushan!"
Yue Yingxian clasped her fists and bowed towards Li Rushan, then greeted him with a smile.
Li Rushan, who had a good impression of Yue Yingxian, quickly returned the greeting with a smile and also greeted the other party.
"Your Highness Rushan, I am sorry to bother you by coming here uninvited.
But my third uncle Yue Zhan really wants to meet your retainer Brother Ye Li, so I can only take the liberty to come here."
Yue Yingxian said to Li Rushan, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
