After the busy birthday celebrations in the palace, Lian Di finally had some free time. She decided to use this time to enrich herself and learn some new skills. One day, she was walking in Guangqing Palace and saw Dong Chun embroidering seriously, with a focused expression and skillful techniques.

Lian Di walked forward and asked curiously, "Dongchun, what are you embroidering?"

When Dongchun saw Liandi, she quickly stood up and saluted, smiling and saying, "My lady, I am embroidering a pattern for you, mother."

Lian Di looked at the embroidery in Dong Chun's hands. The exquisite flowers seemed to come alive, and she couldn't help but admire: "Dong Chun, your embroidery skills are really amazing. Would you like to teach me embroidery?"

Dongchun was a little surprised when she heard this, but she soon agreed happily: "Your Majesty, if you are willing to learn embroidery, I am willing to teach you. However, embroidery requires patience and carefulness, so your Majesty should be mentally prepared."

Lian Di smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I know. Since I have decided to learn, I will definitely study hard."

Dongchun smiled and said, "Madam, let's start with a simple purse. This way we can practice basic needlework and make a practical little object."

Lian Di nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."

In the following days, Lian Di began to learn embroidery under Dong Chun's guidance. Dong Chun prepared some basic tools and materials for her and explained the basic stitches and techniques of embroidery in detail.

Lian Di picked up the needle and thread for the first time. Although her technique was a little clumsy, her eyes sparkled with determination. She knew that any skill requires time and patience to master.

Dongchun patiently taught her how to embroider, starting from the most basic flat stitch, stitch by stitch. Liandi sometimes felt a little sore in her fingers, but she never complained and always insisted on practicing.

One day, Lian Di finally finished her first purse. Although the stitches were not neat enough, she still felt satisfied and proud. She held the purse and said to Dong Chun with a smile: "Dong Chun, thanks to your patient guidance, I was able to complete this purse."

Dongchun smiled and said, "My lady, you are so talented that you have learned the basic embroidery skills so quickly. As long as you keep practicing, your skills will definitely get better and better."

Lian Di nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Dongchun. Your guidance is of great help to me."

In the following time, Lian Di would take some time out every day to practice embroidery. She not only learned more needle techniques, but also began to try to embroider some complex patterns. As her skills improved, her interest in embroidery became stronger and stronger.

One time, Lian Di was practicing embroidery in Guangqing Palace when she suddenly received an invitation from Concubine Xian to go to her palace. Although Lian Di felt a little uneasy, she knew that Concubine Xian’s invitation should not be taken lightly. She put on her clothes and took Dong Qing to Concubine Xian’s palace.

Arriving at Concubine Xian's palace, Lian Di saw Concubine Xian sitting in the main seat with a faint smile on her face. She hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Concubine Xian, what do you want me to do?"

Concubine Xian smiled and said gently, "Sister Lian Di, I heard that you have been learning embroidery recently. I am very interested in it and specially invited you to come and see your work."

Lian Di was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "My Lady, I have only just learned some basic needlework techniques, so I can't say I have any masterpieces."

Xian Fei nodded and said, "It's okay. I'm just curious and want to see my sister's progress."

Lian Di nodded, took out a small flower and bird painting she had just finished, and handed it to Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian took the embroidery, examined it carefully, and a trace of praise flashed in her eyes: "Sister Lian Di's skills are really amazing. Although this flower and bird painting is not big, the stitches are delicate, the colors are bright, and it is quite charming."

Lian Di smiled slightly and said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, Madam Xianfei. I am just a beginner and need more practice."

Xian Fei smiled and nodded: "Sister, your talent is indeed extraordinary. I believe you will get better and better."

In the following time, Concubine Xian chatted with Lian Di for a while, and the topic mostly revolved around embroidery and daily affairs in the palace. Although Concubine Xian still maintained the majesty of a high-ranking official in her words, Lian Di felt that her attitude was much gentler than before.

After saying goodbye and leaving Concubine Xian's palace, Lian Di returned to Guangqing Palace and felt relieved. She knew that although Concubine Xian's attitude had softened, she still couldn't let her guard down.

After returning to Guangqing Palace, Lian Di continued to practice embroidery. Dong Chun patiently guided her, and they discussed various needle techniques and pattern designs together. Lian Di gradually found her own rhythm and style in the learning process.

One day, Lian Di was embroidering when she suddenly had an idea to make a special gift for Li Yong. She decided to embroider a scroll with a dragon as the theme, which symbolizes the emperor's authority and dignity.

Lian Di worked with Dong Chun to design the pattern, select the silk thread and fabric, and carefully prepare every detail. She spent a lot of time and energy every day embroidering stitch by stitch, hoping to give it to Li Yong on his birthday.

As time went by, Lian Di's embroidery skills became more and more sophisticated, and the dragon pattern gradually took shape. She felt extremely satisfied and proud, as if every stitch and every thread was conveying her deep affection and respect for Li Yong.

Finally, Lian Di finished the dragon painting. She carefully put the scroll away and waited for Li Yong's birthday.

On Li Yong's birthday, the palace was once again filled with a festive atmosphere. Lian Di brought the carefully crafted dragon painting to the imperial study, ready to hand the gift to Li Yong in person.

Arriving at the imperial study, Lian Di saw Li Yong handling government affairs. She knocked on the door gently. Li Yong looked up and saw her, with a hint of a smile on his face: "Lian Di, you're here."

Lian Di bowed slightly and said gently: "Your Majesty, I have prepared a gift for you, I hope you like it."

Li Yong smiled and said, "Oh? I'm looking forward to it. Let me see it."

Lian Di carefully unfolded the dragon painting and presented it to Li Yong. Li Yong saw the dragon on the scroll, which was majestic and lifelike.
