"So beautiful, the cranes seem as if they are about to fly off the fabric," exclaimed Consort Min in amazement.
Everyone marvelled, saying they had never seen such lifelike and beautiful crane garments.
The Empress Dowager had reading glasses brought to her and looked over the embroidery time and time again, touching the cranes on the fabric and asking, "Did Yueyue embroider this with her own hands?"
