Chapter 116 Discussing the Emperor's Birthday Gifts

"My lord, let's make the King of Chu go through all sorts of hardships to find this map. We must make sure his men get it in person!"

A sly smile appeared on Su Liluo's face.

Why? What are your plans?

Xiao Ye knew that whenever Su Liluo showed such a clever smile, it meant she had come up with a better idea.

"Once they find the 'Ten Thousand Sons and Thousand Grandsons Picture,' the King of Chu will have someone verify its authenticity. After he has verified it, we'll steal the picture out!"

Su Liluo revealed her plan.

"good!"

Without needing to say more, Xiao Ye immediately understood Su Liluo's intention.

First, let Xiao Churen go to great lengths to find the map, so that he won't suspect anything.

If his own people steal the map, he will definitely send people to search for it, and it will inevitably lead to a confrontation with the King of Chu.

Regardless of the outcome, any amount of fighting is exhausting.

So, perhaps...

Half a month later, after Xiao Churen had worked so hard for so long, he finally got his people to bring back the "Ten Thousand Sons and Thousand Grandsons" painting from Persia at a huge cost.

On the very day the painting arrived at the Chu Prince's residence, Xiao Churen secretly invited all the renowned scholars and teachers of the Great Liang Dynasty to verify its authenticity.

"This painting is incredibly lifelike, the technique is superb, and the skill is so exquisite that it cannot be copied at all. It is definitely an original!"

"Also, the painting looks very new at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it has the smell of old paper. It's obviously a painting from many years ago. This is definitely genuine. If it were a later forgery, the paper wouldn't look like this!"

"Look, there are 108 children in this painting, and each child has a different expression. Even the ones who are laughing heartily have different smiles."

"With so many people involved, it would be virtually impossible to completely replicate this painting! If this painting were presented to His Majesty, His Highness Prince Chu would be doing a tremendous service!"

Inside the Chu King's palace, a group of elderly Confucian scholars stood together, marveling at the "Ten Thousand Sons and Thousand Grandsons" painting before them.

Hearing their approval, Xiao Churen felt completely relieved.

This time, he must make a good impression on his father!
