Chapter 260 Imperial City Chronicles the World's Events

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

In the loft, there were seven thrones, each adorned with a yellow felt mat, a red floral carpet, mattresses, and backrests. Additionally, each bed had a spittoon, a mirror, a ruyi scepter, and a ceremonial knife.

On either side of the mattress, low tables were placed, displaying treasures and stationery carved from materials like jade, porcelain, enamel, bamboo, wood, ivory, and horn.

Furthermore, the room was furnished with semicircular bookcases, crescent tables, guqin tables, chairs, embroidered stools, and cabinets.

Due to the small and convoluted space of the Imperial Study Room, the furniture was mostly of exquisitely small and delicate designs, featuring black lacquer with gilded details and inlaid mother-of-pearl.

The walls were adorned not only with silk and paper scrolls but also with a royal calligraphy piece. In addition, there were screens, often made of rosewood and decorated with jade and ivory inlays.
