章 54: Chapter 54: In My Great Xia Country, the Nation Prospers and the People Live in Peace

In the inner chamber, the beams were made of fragrant sandalwood, lamps made from crystal jade, and curtains made from emerald pearls. The smoke from the Purple Gold Incense Burner rose slowly, and the table was filled with delicious food, but not a single bite had been eaten.
