said both the old statesmen who had already been there . ` See , your Majesty , what a texture ! What colours ! ' And then they pointed to the empty loom , for they believed that the others could see the cloth quite well . ` What ! ' thought the Emperor , ' I can see nothing ! This is indeed horrible ! Am I stupid ? Am I not fit to be Emperor ? That were the most dreadful thing that could happen to me . Oh , it is very beautiful , ' he said . ` It has my gracious approval . ' And then he nodded pleasantly , and examined the empty loom , for he would not say that he could see nothing . His whole Court round him looked and looked , and saw no more than the others ; but they said like the Emperor , ` Oh ! it is beautiful ! ' And they advised him to wear these new and magnificent clothes for the first time at the great procession which was soon to take place . ` Splendid ! Lovely ! Most beautiful ! ' went from mouth to mouth ; everyone seemed delighted over them , and the Emperor gave to the impostors the title of Court weavers to the Emperor .
Throughout the whole of the night before the morning on which the procession was to take place , the XXXXX were up and were working by the light of over sixteen candles .
