The sun was as yellow as the crowns on most of the heads of the women's heads as they flocked the Sea city Eastern palace. The National Liberation Day ceremony which was used to honor the past and dress the present was one of the most anticipated public holiday in the Chinese empire.
As early as 6:00 A.M. dignitaries, bejeweled noble women, fashionable noble men and invited guests flooded the palace, like peacocks on a run-way. Altogether, two thousand guests were expected to attend the ceremony, so far, more than half had already arrived. They were yet to take their seats in the large open space where royal ceremonies were held.
Most of them were still in comparison mode. Once upon a time, people dressed up to show off their wealth. Now, they dressed off to outshine others and win the title of best dressed noble.
It had turned into a red carpet event.
