Ah, you traveled through time too?

While Lian Di was meeting Concubine Xian in Concubine Xian's palace, Zhao Chunrong was also carrying out her plan in Chaolu Palace. She originally planned to let the little princess Ninghe behave well and sensible in front of the emperor, so as to deepen the emperor's favor for them and further consolidate her position.

That day, Zhao Chunrong instructed the nanny early in the morning: "Tonight, when the emperor comes, you must make sure Ning He looks energetic and shows her cleverness."

The nurse agreed respectfully: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take good care of the little princess and make sure she behaves best in front of the emperor."

However, when Li Yong came to Chaolu Palace at night, everything Zhao Chunrong had carefully arranged was disrupted by a small negligence. As soon as Li Yong stepped into Chaolu Palace, Zhao Chunrong came forward with a smile on her face, ready to greet him with Princess Ning and the little princess. However, Princess Ning and the little princess fell asleep early because they played too much.

Zhao Chunrong's face changed slightly when she saw this. She hurriedly asked the nanny in a low voice: "Didn't you say Ning He was still asleep? Why is he asleep now?"

The nurse turned pale and quickly explained, "My lady, I did see the little princess still playing, but she suddenly became sleepy, and I didn't expect this to happen."

Zhao Chunrong was furious, but she could only suppress her anger in front of Li Yong, and said with a forced smile: "Your Majesty, Ning He was a little tired from playing today, and went to bed early."

Li Yong smiled and said gently, "It's okay. The child needs to rest when he is tired from playing. Concubine Chun, don't worry too much."

Zhao Chunrong nodded, still smiling: "Your Majesty is right, I am just worried about Ning He's health."

Li Yong looked at the sleeping Princess Ning He, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Ning He is a good child. I believe she will become more and more sensible."

Zhao Chunrong was secretly upset and blamed the nanny for misleading her and saying that Ning He was still awake. She knew that the failure of this plan made her lose an important opportunity in front of the emperor.

During dinner, although Zhao Chunrong tried her best to appear calm and composed, she could not completely conceal her inner anxiety and uneasiness. She kept thinking about how to make up for this mistake and win back the emperor's attention and favor.

After dinner, Li Yong accompanied Zhao Chunrong for a walk in the garden. Zhao Chunrong took Li Yong's hand and tried to bring them closer: "Your Majesty, I have been worrying about Ninghe's education recently. I hope she can become a smart and sensible child."

Li Yong nodded slightly and said gently: "Noble Concubine Chun, I see your intentions. Ninghe is a good child. I believe she will become more and more outstanding under your guidance."

Zhao Chunrong's eyes flashed with anticipation, and she continued, "Your Majesty, I hope to have more time to educate Ning He with you, so that she can feel the love of her parents."

Li Yong smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Noble Concubine Chun, you are right. I will try my best to spend more time with you and let Ninghe feel the love of his parents."

Zhao Chunrong felt a little relieved when she saw the emperor's response. She knew that she had to seize every opportunity to win the emperor's favor again.

After returning to Chaolu Palace, Zhao Chunrong called the nanny aside and said coldly: "You must remember what happened today and don't make the same mistake again."

The nanny quickly bowed her head and admitted her mistake, saying respectfully: "My lady, I know I was wrong. I will be more careful in the future and will not make such a mistake again."

Zhao Chunrong glanced at her coldly and said sternly, "I hope you will keep your word. Ning He is my important support in the harem. You must ensure that she performs at her best at all times."

The nanny nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Madam, I will do my best to take good care of the little princess."

Zhao Chunrong nodded slightly, still filled with anxiety. She knew that her position in the harem was not secure, and she had to be vigilant at all times to guard against any possible threats.

At the same time, Lian Di continued to practice embroidery in Guangqing Palace. She knew that the power struggle in the harem never stopped, but she believed that as long as she did it with her heart, every detail could be done to the best.

One day, Lian Di suddenly had a new idea while embroidering. She decided to make some small gifts and give them to other concubines in the palace to express her feelings. She believed that through these small gifts, she could enhance the relationship with other concubines and reduce unnecessary hostility and conflict.

Lian Di told Dong Chun and Dong Qing about her idea. They both expressed their support and were willing to help her make the gifts.

"Your Majesty, this is a good idea. Through these gifts, you can express your friendship to other concubines and also show off your embroidery skills." Dongchun said with a smile.

Dong Qing also nodded and said, "My queen, if we work together, we will definitely be able to make a beautiful gift."

In the following days, Lian Di, Dong Chun and Dong Qing worked together to make these small gifts. They carefully selected materials and designed them with great care. Each gift was filled with Lian Di's thoughts and blessings.

When these small gifts were completed, Lian Di sent them to the concubines in the palace one by one. Although they had their own thoughts, they all had to admit that Lian Di's gifts were indeed exquisite and full of heart.

One time, Lian Di was handling affairs 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 tidied 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.
