The emperor nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand to signal the eunuch to quiet down. He cleared his throat and solemnly announced: "This competition will be held in three days. I hope all the geniuses will actively participate and show their strength!" After that, the emperor raised the wine glass in his hand and toasted everyone, officially opening this grand celebration.
The guests in the audience stood up and raised their glasses in response to the emperor's blessing. The atmosphere was warm and laughter was heard one after another.
