The Da Jing Imperial Palace was brilliantly illuminated.
Inside the Fengtian Hall, the candles burned brightly, resembling daylight.
The floor was paved with golden tiles, shining as if made of real gold, complementing the intricate beams and painted rafters above, exuding extreme luxury.
Rows of carved sandalwood tables decorated with cloud patterns and flowers were neatly arranged, extending from the north to the south of the main hall entrance.
The sandalwood tables were covered with exquisite dishes, white as jade, gleaming and smooth, painted with various floral designs, landscape scenes, and symbols of longevity.
The dishes held an array of rare and delicious foods.
Deer meat, beef, and even some low-grade demon beast meat exuded a variety of fragrances, mixing to create a powerful aroma.
People were seated behind the tables at that time.
The Emperor sat in the north, beside him the dignified and beautiful Empress, the two having their own table.
