Li Hao hurried forward and responded, "Jun Xian, that's not the point. Everything should be done. Look, everything is ready. Look, the ones for the Emperor and Empress, as well as the ones for the princes and princesses, are all clearly divided. Every piece and every set is meticulously crafted."

Li Junxian walked closer to take a look and saw that the cotton coat and trousers for the emperor showed his dignity and majesty, and the quilt was extremely gorgeous; the queen's was elegant and dignified, and extremely exquisite; the princes and princesses' were also unique in their own way, cute and not losing their status.

Then she looked at what she had prepared for herself, which was practical and sturdy. She was very satisfied and nodded in praise: "Everyone's craftsmanship is really amazing. Every stitch is full of love. The emperor and others will definitely be very happy to receive it."

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I hope so. I hope these can help everyone have a warm and comfortable winter. Junxian, you have to be careful on your way and don't mess up or dirty anything."

Li Junxian patted his chest and assured, "Madam, don't worry. I will be very careful and deliver these to the emperor and his men intact. I will set off now with the things and will meet you all another day."

After saying that, Li Junxian carefully moved the quilts, cotton coats and trousers onto the carriage one by one. After carefully placing them, he drove slowly away from Zuixianlou and headed towards the imperial palace.

The emperor was reviewing memorials in the imperial study. When he heard that Li Junxian wanted to see him, he summoned him in.

Li Junxian walked in respectfully, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, Li Hao and others have made cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded pants, and quilts. I have specially ordered my subordinates to deliver them to Your Majesty, the Empress, and all the princes and princesses. I hope Your Majesty will accept them."

When the emperor heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He said, "Oh? There is such a thing. Please bring it to me quickly."

The servants hurried forward and carefully brought the sets of clothes and quilts to him.

The emperor first picked up his cotton-padded jacket. He saw that the bright yellow brocade was embroidered with lifelike dragon patterns. The exquisite edging on the cuffs and collar showed its nobility. It felt thick and warm.

Look at the cotton trousers, they are equally exquisite, and every detail shows the royal style.

As for that quilt, the bright red satin cover was dazzling, and the auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes on it seemed as if they were about to take off and dance. The embroidery was exquisite. When you turned over the quilt, the soft fine cotton cloth felt great to the touch, and the cotton in the middle was evenly and thickly spread. Just by looking at it, you knew it would be extremely warm to cover yourself with.

The Emperor couldn't help but be delighted. He smiled and praised, "Well done! Li Hao and the others are truly thoughtful. Every stitch and thread shows their sincerity. I am very satisfied. I'm sure the Empress and the princes and princesses will be delighted to see this as well."

Afterwards, the emperor ordered his servants to quickly deliver the portions for the empress and the princes and princesses.

The emperor happily took the cotton coat and trousers into the inner hall, called the servants for help, changed his original clothes, and put on the newly delivered clothes.

As soon as the emperor put on the cotton-padded jacket, he felt a special warmth. The wide sleeves did not make him look restrained at all, and the exquisite edging on the cuffs and collar made him look even more majestic and noble.

The cotton trousers also fit perfectly, with the thick cotton wrapped around the legs, as if to keep out the winter chill.

The emperor walked a few steps in the hall, stretched his body, and became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it. He smiled and said to the attendant beside him, "The craftsmanship of Li Hao and others is really good. These cotton-padded jackets and trousers are both beautiful and warm. I feel very comfortable wearing them. It can be seen that they put a lot of thought and effort into it."

The attendant quickly echoed, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. Li Hao and the others are truly sincere to Your Majesty. These clothes are filled with their love. I'm sure the Empress and the princes and princesses will also be exquisitely made. Everyone will surely be delighted."

The Emperor nodded slightly and said, "Well, pass on my order. After the Empress and the princes and princesses have received these gifts, have them all come to my place to gather together. I will also let me see how they look after wearing them, and let us feel the warmth of friendship in this winter together."

The attendant received the order and hurried forward to convey the decree. The emperor was the only one left in the hall, still carefully gazing at the cotton coat and trousers on his body, which were given with great care, with a look of delight on his face.

Soon, the queen came to the palace with three princes and three princesses. They all had happy faces and had changed into the cotton coats and trousers they had just received. They all looked energetic and warm.

The emperor looked at the scene in front of him and smiled even more deeply. His eyes first fell on the queen. The queen was wearing a slim-fitting, double-breasted cotton coat. The pink satin trim embroidered with phoenix patterns made her look more elegant and luxurious. The staggered floral patterns on the clothes complemented the phoenix patterns. The cotton trousers of the same color and the small floral embellishments at the trouser legs made her look gentle and generous, just like flowers blooming in spring.

Look at the princes again, some are wearing heroic cotton-padded jackets with narrow sleeves and waists, and cloud and auspicious animal patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs, while others are wearing cotton trousers with unique patterns to show their status. They are all full of vigor and show the royal style.

As for the princesses, their slanted-collar cotton coats were embroidered with beautiful butterflies and flowers, and the pink and bright satin trims on the collar, cuffs and hems, as well as the small bows tied on the trouser legs, made them look like fairies who had come down to earth, cute and charming.

The emperor was delighted and said, "Seeing you all like this today, I am very pleased. The cotton coats and trousers that Li Hao and others sent are really exquisite, showing their full thoughtfulness. With these, you will definitely be warm and comfortable this winter."

The Queen smiled and replied, "Your Majesty is right. I fell in love with it the moment I received it. The needlework and design are all extremely thoughtful and rare."

The princes and princesses also echoed the sentiment, praising this thoughtful winter gift one after another. The palace was filled with laughter and warmth.

The emperor smiled and looked at everyone, then continued, "As for the quilts that were sent, you can all cover yourself with them when you go home tonight. I've seen that the workmanship of the quilts is extremely fine."

As he spoke, the emperor had his red satin quilt, embroidered with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns, brought over and displayed it to the audience. Gently stroking the quilt, he continued, "Look at this quilt. The embroidery is exquisite. The dragons and phoenixes seem to leap out, showcasing my royal majesty. The quilt is lined with soft and comfortable fine cotton, and the cotton is thickly and evenly spread throughout. It must be very warm."

The Queen nodded slightly and replied with a smile, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. My quilt is also exquisite. The dark gold brocade quilt cover is embroidered with pine and crane patterns that symbolize longevity. It symbolizes good luck and is beautiful. I'm sure sleeping in it will bring you sweet dreams."

The eldest prince followed suit and said, "Father, my quilt has a kirin embroidered on it. It looks so majestic and I love it. I must cover myself with it early tonight and feel the warmth."

The princesses chattered, "Father, our quilt is embroidered with so many beautiful flowers and butterflies. It's so soft and pink, it's like a garden wrapped in the quilt. It must be very comfortable to cover ourselves with."

The emperor listened to everyone's words and laughed heartily. "Haha, since everyone likes it so much, then on these winter nights from now on, let's all wrap ourselves in this thoughtful quilt and sleep comfortably. It will be a reward for Li Hao and the others' hard work."
