About This Novel
There is a painting hanging in the emperor's study all year round. I don't know what it is painted on. No one except himself has seen the true appearance of the painting. It has been hanging behind the screen for many years, covered with white gauze, and well hidden. The palace maids who are cleaning are not allowed to step more than one foot into the screen, otherwise they will be pulled out and beaten to a bloody pulp in the next moment. There is a legend in the palace that the painting is a strange beast, used to control the country. Some people say that the painting is a green-faced and fanged monster, which was sealed in the painting to prevent it from coming out to harm the world. The more outrageous the rumors became, the more mysterious the painting became. Finally one day, the emperor's favorite little prince quietly hid in the study while playing with the female officials. He hid behind the screen and curiously lifted the veil of the painting, only to discover that what was painted in the painting was just a snow-white peacock.
