The Emperor let her pinch him, and his heart slowly warmed up.
Lian Hua, while pinching, said, "Your Majesty, you look rather glum today. How about some cow's milk? I just had some, and it was delicious. I still have half left. Would you like some?"
As she said this, she became slightly embarrassed: "But I have already had some. I don't know if you would mind. Otherwise, I can ask Chief Steward Zhang if there is any left? It just occurred to me that I forgot to thank Steward Zhang earlier."
She had been so busy eating before that she forgot to save some especially for His Majesty; she didn't know if there was any left...
She stopped massaging His Majesty's shoulders and took a step, intending to go outside and look for Steward Zhang.
The Emperor reached out to stop her, preventing her from calling someone. He asked in slight surprise, "Are you willing to part with it?"
