Gift

What Xiulan had given Mu Yangling was an embroidered screen with gorgeous flowers blooming, but this was clearly a new design. On the front were nine flowers each with a different charm. Interestingly, not all nine flowers were in full bloom, but the budding process was shown. Though gorgeous, there was a certain air of reservedness about them. In addition, there were a few butterflies flapping their wings at the side. Yet, when one flipped the screen over, it revealed a lotus painting. In the middle of the clear water, there were only three lotus flowers that were either budding or blooming. A dragonfly was carefully perched upon the tip of the lotus.

"This is a double-sided embroidery?" Madam Liu's eyes lit up as she said in surprise, "And all the threads are hidden perfectly… Did Miss Xiulan really embroider this?"

Such embroidery skills would probably take at least 20 years to master.
