With the presentation of the congratulatory gifts completed, the song and dance performances grew even more lively. At this moment, Qin Yuetian, the Fourth Prince of Unaghe, spoke up. "Your Majesty of Dàyǔ, before I departed, my imperial father instructed me of his desire to forge an eternal alliance of goodwill between our two nations. I wonder what Your Majesty's thoughts are on this?"
"Naturally. Dàyǔ and Unaghe have been bound in friendship for generations, and it shall be no different now that the throne is mine."
Encouraged by Qin Yuetian's opening gambit, Qí Xiùhéng of Dongyue, Chu Siming of Nanzhao, and even Jìn Huái'ān of Xiqi could no longer hold back. They stepped forward one after another to express their desire to forge eternal bonds of peace between their respective nations. Sincere or not, at this moment they all genuinely wished to secure the peace of their own borders.
