Ever since the Beggar's Chicken had been unveiled, Lian Hua could hardly restrain herself, her mouth watering profusely; however, due to etiquette, she couldn't forget the rules and had to wait for His Majesty to pick up his chopsticks before she could do the same.
Upon hearing His Majesty mention that his hands were not yet dried, Lian Hua quickly took out a handkerchief, grabbed his hand, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a handkerchief here, allow me to wipe your hands for you."
After wiping a few times, she confirmed with him, "They're dry now, does that look all right to you?"
The Emperor felt secretly pleased inside, indeed teasing her was the most entertaining; he cleared his throat and with an unchanged expression said, "Hmm, it's good."
"Then, Your Majesty, shall we start eating?" she asked, already unable to wait any longer to eat.
The Emperor thought that he had teased her enough, and any more might give him away, so he nodded his head.
