In fact, this is also unreasonable, because although Xia Clan Leader has a respectable background, he is after all not an official of the court.
However, Xia Clan Leader is his most esteemed guest for this invitation, and Guo Haoshou serves as one of the hosts of the banquet, so it makes sense for him to be seated at the right-hand chief position.
As for whether the other two accompanying officials might be dissatisfied, that is not within his consideration.
But now Gu Chengyu has arrived, and his status as the imperial envoy makes it impossible for him to be seated after Xia Clan Leader.
Even if he were to give up the main seat, it wouldn't be excessive. However, today he is the host, and after all, he and Gu Chengyu are of equal rank, so even if he doesn't relent, Gu Chengyu would have no grounds to object.
Just as Li Taixing hesitated over whether to yield his seat, Xia Mingqun wisely stood up and moved aside.
