Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Yan Qianqian's thoughts suddenly drifted back to that scene in the bamboo grove, that figure full of the will to survive, pitiful to behold, clearly appearing before her eyes. She couldn't help but anxiously ask Yue Yi: "Elder Brother Yue Yi, that person... how is he now?"

Yue Yi hurriedly responded: "Xiao Zhuzhu, rest assured, your subordinate at once took him straight to the medical hall. After examining him, the doctor said the wound on his chest was extremely dangerous, a fatal wound!"

That wound was only two millimeters away from the heart; a slight deviation would have meant certain death. Fortunately, we got him there in time. If we had been even a little later, even if the wound hadn't struck a vital spot, he likely would have been beyond saving due to excessive blood loss."

Hearing this, Yan Qianqian's hanging heart settled somewhat, but she still impatiently pressed: "So you mean, that person was ultimately saved?"

Seeing Yan Qianqian care so much, Yue Yi stopped keeping her in suspense and quickly replied: "Fortunately, heaven looked upon him with favor. After some emergency treatment, we finally dragged him back from the gates of hell. However, at this very moment, this person is still extremely weak and completely unable to get out of bed."

Your subordinate saw that he had passed the danger period, so I temporarily placed him in the medical hall and left enough silver with the doctor, then rushed back without stopping to report this to you."

After listening, Yan Qianqian thought for a moment and said: "Since that's the case, Elder Brother Yue Yi, could you trouble yourself to bring him to Dongying Guo? Once he arrives, I will arrange for servants to take good care of him. That way, Elder Brother Yue Yi, you can return to Dachang with peace of mind."

Yue Yi nodded and agreed: "That's naturally no problem. Just need to hire a spacious and comfortable carriage to bring him over smoothly along the way."

Hearing this, Yan Qianqian's face lit up with joy, and she hurriedly thanked him: "That's wonderful, thank you for your trouble, Elder Brother Yue Yi, in hiring a carriage to bring him over. I'll handle the rest myself. You've worked hard this time, Elder Brother Yue Yi!"

Yue Yi smiled and waved his hand, indicating it was all part of his duty, then turned and left to prepare to hire the carriage.

After Yue Yi turned and left, Yan Qianqian suddenly realized: Oh no! She had actually forgotten to ask Elder Brother Yue Yi what that person's identity was.

But in the blink of an eye, she changed her mind: Never mind, never mind. Anyway, by the time Elder Brother Yue Yi hires the carriage and brings that person over, it won't be too late to ask then. After thinking it over, Yan Qianqian no longer dwelled on it and soon completely put the matter out of her mind.

Immediately afterward, Yan Qianqian ran excitedly toward Shangguan Xingyu's Qin Gong. Just as she stepped through the gate of the Qin Gong, before even seeing a person, her clear and pleasant voice rang out: "Elder Sister Xingyu, what are you doing?"

At this moment, Shangguan Xingyu was sitting upright at the table, wholeheartedly embroidering a magnificent wedding dress. This wedding dress had long been carefully made in the palace, but those exquisite floral patterns needed to be embroidered by the bride herself, stitch by stitch.

Hearing Yan Qianqian's call, Shangguan Xingyu slowly raised her head, smiling as she looked at Yan Qianqian running in, and gently replied: "Qianqian, I'm embroidering the wedding dress right here."

Yan Qianqian ran to Shangguan Xingyu's side in two or three steps, curiously staring at the golden thread shining in her hand. She saw Shangguan Xingyu wielding her needle like flying, and under her skillful hands, the thread was like a lively spirit, weaving on the wedding dress one gorgeous, colorful, exquisite flower after another, and one lifelike butterfly after another, as if about to fly out.

Gazing at this astonishing sight before her, Yan Qianqian couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow, Elder Sister Xingyu, you're amazing! This embroidery is simply divine." Shangguan Xingyu said softly: "After all, this is what I will wear when I marry. For a woman, the day she marries is the happiest and most joyful moment of her life, especially when marrying the one she loves, even more so."

So, naturally, she must wear the wedding dress she considers most perfect. When you marry, you will understand the deep meaning."

Yan Qianqian nodded slightly, thought for a while, then said with a troubled expression: "But... but Qianqian isn't good at needlework. What should I do then?"

Shangguan Xingyu smiled slightly and comforted her: "Don't rush, don't rush. Your wedding day is still far off; starting to learn now is plenty of time." Saying this, Yan Qianqian hurriedly instructed the servant beside her to fetch a handkerchief and some thread.

After the items were ready, Shangguan Xingyu patiently taught Yan Qianqian embroidery hand in hand. Yan Qianqian carefully picked up the needle and thread, trying to pierce the needle tip into the fabric.

When she successfully made the first stitch, Shangguan Xingyu couldn't help but praise: "Oh my, Qianqian does have some talent!"

After receiving praise, Yan Qianqian was overjoyed, her smile blooming like spring flowers. Shangguan Xingyu continued to carefully teach her how to stitch, how to gauge the length of each stitch, and other key points. Yan Qianqian listened with full attention, learning very seriously, afraid to miss any detail.

Not long after, when Yan Qianqian had mastered the stitching method, Shangguan Xingyu turned and signaled the palace maid beside her to hand Yan Qianqian a pattern. Yan Qianqian lowered her head and looked closely—it turned out to be a cute little five-petaled yellow flower, its tender yellow petals seeming to emit a faint fragrance.

Shangguan Xingyu smiled and said: "This little flower is actually simple to embroider. Just follow the stitching method I just taught you."

You try embroidering it yourself first. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me anytime!" Yan Qianqian nodded confidently and replied: "Okay, no problem!" As soon as she spoke, she impatiently picked up the embroidery needle and carefully began to embroider stitch by stitch.

At first, Shangguan Xingyu would occasionally glance at Yan Qianqian to observe whether her stitching method was correct. Seeing that Yan Qianqian's stitches were not wrong, Shangguan Xingyu felt reassured and continued to focus on her own embroidery work.

Time passed second by second. After about half an hour, Shangguan Xingyu felt somewhat fatigued and decided to stop for a short rest. Just then, Yan Qianqian's excited shout suddenly came: "I'm done! Elder Sister Xingyu, come look!"

Hearing the voice, Shangguan Xingyu put down her unfinished work, slowly raised her head, and looked at the handkerchief Yan Qianqian held high. She saw that on the handkerchief, which should have embroidered a gorgeous, round, cute little flower, there actually appeared a square, strangely shaped flower!

Shangguan Xingyu couldn't help but wonder if her eyes were playing tricks on her. She subconsciously rubbed her eyes, then looked closely again—yes, it was indeed a square little flower! Upon closer inspection, it turned out that because Yan Qianqian made every stitch exactly the same length when stitching, the petals that should have been curved became straight lines, ultimately embroidering such a unique "square little flower."
