Glancing at Emperor Xuande's expression, Shen Zhixiu continued, "Look closely at Li Chaoyun. Doesn't he look about 50% like Princess Yongning? Especially at Li Chaoyun's current age, he looks a lot like Princess Yongning when she was young."
Su Qingyu was shocked. It turned out that there was such a reason behind this favor.
Something flashed through her mind, and just when she was about to grasp it, she was interrupted by Emperor Xuande's words.
"Who is that child? When did Yongning have a child?" Emperor Xuande pointed at the child in the painting and asked Song Zan.
Song Zan was naturally confused. How could he know about such a thing?
Emperor Xuande then remembered to ask, "Where did you get this painting?"
Song Zan replied, "I bought this by accident. I only discovered two days ago that the name on it was Princess Yongning."
"As for who the painter is, I'm still trying to find him."
Having said that, Song Zan sighed again.

If she had known this would happen, she should have burned the painting.

Su Qingyu was also looking at the child in the painting, and she felt a sense of familiarity. Although only two or three years old, the outline of the child's features could already be seen.
She and Shen Zhixiu suddenly looked at each other, and a bold idea came to their minds at the same time.
