"Great Xia's Mister Ning, please talk about this painting that depicts one hundred beauties." The empress carefully looked at it once and couldn't spot anything weird. The women in the painting were indeed remarkably beautiful.
Could it be possible that Ning Caichen took this painting out to compare those beauties with me?
It would simply be a joke!
Ning Caichen got up and cupped his hands in obeisance, T"he empress of Dayao, please forgive me for my impetuous move. This painting was painted by a talented individual. His life goal was to paint a picture of the top one hundred beauties in this world. After painting ninety-nine of them, he wasn't able to paint the last beauty anymore."
"Why?" A bystander asked.
