Oh, her darling would speak such sweet nothings as if it cost him nothing, delighting her to no end. She couldn't help but want another kiss.
Lian Hua giggled and dodged, saying, "My lord, I'm hungry now, no more kissing." Kisses were never-ending, but she was hungry.
The Emperor, not willing to give up, hugged her and kissed her several times more before letting go, which made Lian Hua burst into laughter.
Hearing Master Lian's laughter from outside the door, Zhang Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that the two had made up.
He called over a Young Eunuch and asked them to prepare the meal again; it looked like they had to set the table anew.
Xiao Jizi was the one who breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He was afraid his master might brood over the issue and was equally afraid His Majesty might investigate. It was torture for him. Hearing his master's laughter inside the room, he knew everything was all right.
