The towering and majestic palace walls roll like clouds, and the solemn palaces are majestic and magnificent, standing side by side, high and low, in rows one after another, forming a magnificent sunset palace picture, which attracts worship from afar.
The exquisiteness and beauty of the Nanyue Royal Palace are just like Nanyue’s wealth status among the six countries. If it ranks second, no one dares to be first.
The palace with carved beams and painted rafters, the garden with exotic flowers and plants, and the dazzling array of gifts became the most eye-catching focus of the Nanyue Royal Palace tonight.
The emperor's birthday banquet was held in the Taiji Hall, the largest hall in the imperial palace. In the solemn and majestic palace, the black marble floor glowed with a cold light, and the faint cool air drove away the summer heat, instantly forming a stark contrast with the outside world.
At today's dinner, the emperor, empress and concubines sat at the head of the hall. Below them on the left were royal relatives and envoys from various countries, and below them on the right were the crown prince and the other princes, princes' wives and princesses.
Further down, on the left are civil officials and military generals and their sons, and on the right are the wives of civil officials and military generals and their daughters.
The large open space in the middle is used for performances during banquets.
A prayer platform was set up outside the hall. After the ceremony and before the dinner began, the empress would come to the prayer platform accompanied by the emperor to pray for the people of Nanyue.
In addition to Buddhism, the people of Kyushu also believe in theism.
For them, Buddhism is just a traditional belief, while the leader of theism is like a real god with great supernatural powers. He can minimize natural disasters and save people from danger. This is what people can truly hope for and touch.
Therefore, the Holy Maiden of the Divine Religion can occupy the position of queen in the royal family of every country.
Whenever a severe natural disaster struck, the Saint would pray to the Heavens in the name of the religion. Upon hearing the Saint's prayers, Heaven would bestow blessings upon the world, allowing the people to survive the disaster with minimal loss. Therefore, only such a saintly woman was qualified to rule as the Mother of the Nation and become Empress.
In her previous life, Murong Xiao had always been immersed in the various love-hate, suspicion and entanglement with Qian Yeming. She had no mood, or should be said, no chance at all to understand and touch the Divine Religion, so her understanding of the Divine Religion was only superficial.
As for her, she is an atheist, so when it comes to religion, she immediately attributes it to evil cults or scams like the White Lotus Sect and the Red Lotus Sect in Fang Shiyu's story.
But after all, the Kyushu continent is completely different from the modern world where we used to live. Especially after experiencing a time travel and a rebirth, this atheism is slowly being broken.
The cult has never touched any of her interests, so although she feels it is mysterious, she is not too disgusted by it.
But as far as she knew, the current emperor of Northern Wei was a man with a bad temper. Among the six kingdoms, only Northern Wei, located in the north and with the strongest military power, expelled the Divine Religion. She was not very clear about what exactly happened.
Because the Northern Wei emperor had offended the Divine Religion, the dry weather of the Northern Wei, with no one praying for them, often resulted in no rain. Although the Northern Wei had the strongest military force among the six kingdoms, its financial resources were the lowest.
In Nanyue, Qian Yeming's mother, the current Queen Xia Muwan, is the Saint of the Divine Religion.
This is also the reason why, although the emperor did not like Qian Yeming and although he discovered a few years ago that the queen was Murong Qingyu's woman before their marriage, he did not banish the queen to the cold palace or remove Qian Yeming from the position of crown prince.
