Yueyao didn't finish the task assigned by the Emperor until close to noon the next day.
Before looking at the painting, the Emperor asked Eunuch Li: "When I asked her to paint Lao Qi and Lao Jiu, what was her reaction?" Indeed, the Emperor had Yueyao paint none other than the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince. Yueyao couldn't understand why the Emperor wanted her to paint the two princes.
Eunuch Li thought for a moment and then described Yueyao's reaction in detail to the Emperor: "Lady Lian was very surprised, but she didn't say much. She didn't say another word until she left."
