After Lian Di returned to Guangqing Palace, she felt relieved, but she did not let down her guard. She knew that in the palace, every step must be cautious.

One day, Concubine Chun summoned all the concubines to the Chaolu Palace for a meeting. Lian Di was a little late because of her busy schedule. When she arrived, the other concubines had already gathered. Concubine Chun sat in the main seat, and Concubine Li stood beside her, looking a little proud.

Lian Di walked into the hall and bowed respectfully: "My Lady Concubine Chun, I am late, please forgive me."

Concubine Chun smiled slightly and said gently, "Sister Lian Di, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat."

After Lian Di sat down, Concubine Li said, "My dear sisters, the emperor's birthday is coming soon. I suggest that each concubine prepare a program to celebrate the emperor's birthday."

After these words were spoken, the concubines showed different expressions, some looked dissatisfied, while others were surprised. Lian Di was also a little surprised, and thought about Concubine Li's intention.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Concubine Li continued, "We are all the emperor's concubines, and we should do our part for his birthday. I think that if each concubine prepares a program, it will not only show everyone's talents, but also make the emperor happy."

At this time, one of the concubines couldn't help but say, "Sister Li Fei, isn't this arrangement too tiring? We are usually busy with affairs, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to spare time to prepare."

Concubine Li still kept smiling, but her tone was a little tough: "Sister, what you said makes sense, but the emperor's birthday is a big event. Shouldn't we do our best to celebrate for the emperor?"

The concubines looked at each other, feeling somewhat dissatisfied, but they could not say anything more. Seeing this, Concubine Chun nodded slightly, expressing her support for Concubine Li's proposal: "Concubine Li is right, the emperor's birthday is indeed a big event. We all prepared a program with all our heart, not only to express respect for the emperor, but also to show our talents."

Concubine Chun's support made it impossible for the other concubines to refute it, and they all expressed their agreement. Lian Di also nodded slightly, expressing her understanding and support.

After the meeting, Lian Di returned to Guangqing Palace and began to think about how to prepare the program. She knew that this was not only an opportunity to show her talents, but also a good opportunity to express her feelings to the emperor.

She called Dongxia, Dongqing, Xiaochun and Xiaolan together, explained the situation to them, and discussed the preparations for the show.

Dong Xia spoke first: "Your Highness, you are an excellent zither player. Why don't you prepare a piece of music and perform it for the Emperor?"

Lian Di nodded and thought this was a good suggestion: "Dong Xia, what you said makes sense. Piano music can express emotions and show talents. I will prepare a piece of piano music."

Dong Qing also suggested: "My lady, I can help you prepare the accompaniment for the music to ensure a more perfect performance."

Lian Di smiled slightly, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes: "Okay, Dong Qing, come and help me prepare the accompaniment."

In the following days, Lian Di and Dong Qing worked hard to prepare the music. They practiced every day and constantly improved the music. Dong Xia, Xiao Chun and Xiao Lan were responsible for other matters to ensure the order and safety in Guang Qing Palace.

One day, when Lian Di and Dong Qing were practicing a piece of music, Li Yong suddenly came to Guangqing Palace. Lian Di quickly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Li Yong walked forward with a smile and said gently, "Lian Di, I heard that you were preparing a program for the emperor's birthday, so I came to see it specially."

Lian Di showed a trace of shyness on her face and replied, "Your Majesty, I am practicing my zither music and hope to perform on your birthday to celebrate for you."

Li Yong nodded, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes: "Lian Di, I see your intentions. I know you have been doing your best, and I am very happy."

Lian Di felt Li Yong's praise, and her heart was filled with gratitude and satisfaction: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I just hope to help you solve your problems and live up to your expectations."

Li Yong gently held Lian Di's hand and whispered, "Lian Di, I feel at ease with you by my side."

Lian Di smiled slightly and continued, "Your Majesty, I will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations."

As time went by, Lian Di's music became more and more perfect, and her performance became more and more fluent. She knew that this performance was not only a display of her talent, but also an opportunity to express her feelings to the emperor.

Finally, the emperor's birthday arrived as scheduled. The palace was decorated with lights and filled with a festive atmosphere. Lian Di and other concubines came to the hall early to perform for the emperor.

Concubine Chun sat in the main seat, looking at the concubines with a smile, while Li Yong sat beside her, looking very happy.

Concubine Li was the first to step forward and bow, smiling and saying, "Your Majesty, today is your birthday. We have prepared a program to celebrate for you. I hope Your Majesty will like it."

Li Yong nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you all for your kindness. I am very happy."

Concubine Li smiled slightly, turned around and said to the concubines: "Sisters, please come forward and perform in turn."

The concubines came forward one after another to show off their talents. Some played the piano, some danced with swords, and some recited poems. The scene was very lively.

When it was Lian Di's turn, she took a deep breath, stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I have prepared a piece of music for you. I hope you like it."

Li Yong nodded slightly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "Okay, I'll wait and see."

Lian Di sat in front of the zither and began to play. The sound was melodious and graceful, like flowing clouds and water, full of affection and tenderness. Li Yong was fascinated by it, and a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes.

Along with the sound of the piano, Dong Qing played soft accompaniment on the side, pushing the whole performance to a climax. The concubines were also attracted by this wonderful piano music and showed admiring expressions one after another.

After the performance, Li Yong smiled and said, "Lian Di, your piano skills are really outstanding. I like it very much."

Lian Di smiled slightly, bowed and said, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I have only done my humble part."

Li Yong nodded, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes: "You did a good job, I am very satisfied with you."

Concubine Chun also smiled and said, "Sister Lian Di's performance was indeed wonderful. She is worthy of being a talented woman in our palace."

After hearing this, Lian Di felt warm in her heart: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I will continue to work hard."

After the dinner, Li Yong and Lian Di took a walk in the imperial garden. Lian Di told some interesting stories from time to time, which made Li Yong laugh. Her liveliness and frankness made Li Yong feel extremely relaxed and happy, a feeling he had never experienced from other concubines in the harem.

"Lian Di, you are really my source of joy." Li Yong said with a smile, a gentle light flashing in his eyes.

Lian Di blinked and said mischievously, "Your Majesty, I only hope to amuse you and let you find some fun in your busy life."

Li Yong gently hugged Lian Di and whispered, "Lian Di, I am really happy to have you by my side."

Lian Di leaned on Li Yong's shoulder, feeling his warmth, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction. She knew that Li Yong's love and care for her came from the heart, and she had to work harder to live up to his expectations.

Despite the constant struggles and dangers in the palace, Lian Di believes that as long as she remains vigilant and works hard, she will be able to protect herself and those around her. With the joint efforts of Dong Qing, Dong Xia, Xiao Chun and Xiao Lan, the affairs of Guang Qing Palace are in good order, and life in the palace has become more harmonious and safer.
