After a while, she looked up, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at the Emperor, "Your Majesty, did you walk too fast just now? You've sweated, and there's sweat sticking to the hair on your neck. May I help you straighten it out?"
This was the second time she had seen His Majesty with less than perfect poise, and it seemed every time was for her…
"Hmm." The Emperor's lips curved upward, unable to resist bending down to kiss her. After the kiss, he slightly bowed his head and let her take care of him.
Lian Hua bit her lip, her face flushed, took out a handkerchief, and began to earnestly help the Emperor wipe his sweat and straighten his hair, much like a wife tending to her husband, a tender warmth flowing between them.
After she had finished arranging, Lian Hua's mood also returned to normal. She looked around and said, "Eh, where is the tied-up man?"
