國王展開方看，又見黃門官來奏：「三位國師來也。」
国王展开方看，又见黄门官来奏：「三位国师来也。」
The king had just spread it open to look when the Yellow-Gate officer came again to report: “The three Preceptors of State are here.”
展開方看: 看 = kàn, “just as he opened it to look.” 國師 “Preceptor of State” — the honorific the king has granted the three immortals.
慌得國王收了關文，急下龍座，著近侍的設了繡墩，躬身迎接。
慌得国王收了关文，急下龙座，着近侍的设了绣墩，躬身迎接。
Flustered, the king put away the rescript, hurried down from his dragon throne, ordered his attendants to set out embroidered stools, and bowed to receive them.
慌得: 得 = de (degree-complement), “flustered so that.” Causative 著近侍: 著 = zhuó, “to order (the attendants).” 繡墩 “an embroidered drum-stool.” 躬身迎接 “to bow and receive.”
The contrast is pointed: the ruler who moments ago wanted the monks dragged in under guard now scrambles off his throne to bow before three Daoists and seat them on embroidered stools. The king's fawning haste — stools fetched, throne abandoned — measures exactly how far the sect's influence has warped the court, and primes the reader for the immortals' arrogance in the next passage.
