So I would look – as my first option, anyway – for a story where an infant and its royal mother were brought back from across the sea. Although the guard’s face isn’t red, I would suggest the scene might be part of the history of Guan Yu. There is a famous story that after a battle, Guan Yu asked to marry the wife of an enemy, Qin Yilu. She was known as the Lady Du (杜氏) and already had a son named Qin Liang. After several reminders, the the ruler (Cao Cao) became extremely curious about why this fierce warrior should show such eagerness, and had the lady and her son brought to his presence. It is a famous story about retainers’ loyalty and rulers’ perfidy because Cao Cao then “took Lady Du as his concubine” – though he did adopt her son.the water is depicted as river-water, not sea-water, and the craft is a river craft.'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"-qt-block-indent: 0; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0px;\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #f3f3f3;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e***\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis item has spent a lifetime being used for the purpose of its creation with the original artist\/user. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSigns of this life lived heartily may be present on the piece in the form of stains, thread loss, loose threads, holes, tears, color run and other imperfections.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003eTherefore the condition must be assumed to be “not” perfect.
