Two Jade Rings

Li Hua sat next to Lóng Wei and asked him where he had disappeared. 

"I waited for him to come to have breakfast. But he didn't come. I was so hungry," Li Hua complained. 

"Did you not eat breakfast?" Lóng Wei inquired, casting a glance at the Court Lady. 

"I tried a lot, but the Princess Consort wanted to wait for the Prince," Court Lady Hong answered. "I will send the lunch," she said, and walked out. 

"You should not have waited for me. I had gone to see my father. I wanted to converse with him about you. I thought if I just talked my way, then that would be better," Lóng Wei informed her. Li Hua was astonished to find that Lóng Wei had already conversed with the King. 

"Why did His Highness converse with His Majesty? I should be the one who must have told the truth to His Majesty," she said.
