Prince Kang's Mansion.
As a Prefecture Prince's Mansion, Prince Kang's Mansion naturally occupied an excellent location and was quite sizable. However, this residence had been granted to him by His Majesty when he had first become a prefecture prince. Even with its favorable location, it was built only to the standard of an ordinary prefecture prince and was not particularly eye-catching.
Yet within the Prefecture Prince's Mansion lay a world apart. Not only had a small Spirit Gathering Array been installed, but Prince Kang's most frequently used study was decorated in a restrained yet lavish manner, exquisite in every detail. In terms of luxury, it was almost no less impressive than the residences of certain Divine Ability Realm imperial princes, only slightly inferior to Emperor Longchang's Humble Governance Pavilion.
Ancient paintings worth millions of Qian Gold hung along the walls in orderly succession.
Within the study, gauze curtains woven from high-grade Spirit Silkworm Silk swayed gently, the embroidered dragon patterns upon them lifelike enough to seem ready to fly away.
In a corner stood an incense burner of red copper, carved with coiling chi-dragon patterns and releasing wisps of fragrant smoke. The incense pellets within had been refined from ninth-grade dragon saliva incense, a rare commodity supplied only in limited quantities even in Guilong City, allotted solely to royal family members of sufficiently high status.
Beside the desk, Prince Kang reclined in a rocking chair with his eyes slightly closed.
Over these past days, his constantly taut nerves had eased somewhat. Rarely finding himself in a leisurely mood, he sipped Immortal Dynasty spirit tea with calming and mind-soothing effects while enjoying the acupressure massage Zhao Yijing, his consort, gave to relax his mind. He was thoroughly at ease.
