Main hall.
The hall is extremely long, deep, wide and broad, with walls covered in red silk and gold, decorated with silver nails and tortoise shells. The dome is incredibly high and covered with a layer of lapis lazuli.
It was an expensive stone from Persia and Yuezhi, which could be ground into ultramarine. Because it was applied thickly, the dome was blue almost to black purple, and the pearls, shells and mica were inlaid densely, just like a starry night.
There was a couch standing abruptly across the hall.
The bed had six polished and smooth posts, with colorful brocade and satin gauze, densely packed like smoke and haze, wrapping the couch tightly, creating a luxurious and soft cage. The floor was covered with soft red brocade and a carpet that reached the ankles when stepped on. I don't know whether it is to fill the spaciousness and length of the hall, or to please someone, but all kinds of antique ornaments are scattered in the hall. They are all small gadgets for playing with and passing the time, such as jade mountains, painted wooden figurines, emerald phoenix crowns, and silk paintings of ladies; mountains of collapsed bamboo slips, stacked thread-bound books; exotic gem daggers, deer skull carvings, and five-stringed harps...The most intimidating one is the topaz incense burner. The jade wall is as thin as a cicada's wing and crystal clear. When incense is burning in the burner, the flames can be seen outside the burner.
