An Hao froze and then slowly turned to the rest of them. His eyes immediately fixed on the Emperor and he immediately hopped over to him and opened the box, "Your majesty, you're here too! I made these, try one. Tell me if they taste authentic."
{...How could I have missed the Emperor's presence?! Right in front of my eyes too! How stupid! >_<)...}
The Emperor looked down at the box and then glanced at Lei Xing to catch her glance at the cakes and then look away, still looking upset. The Emperor knew Lei Xing enjoyed her food quite a bit and had faith in An Hao's cooking and so went, "Xing er', you try it." In a bid to cheer her up. He was not pleased with Tung Mei at the moment for upsetting her again after he finally got her mood back up.
An Hao immediately frowned and quietly mumbled, "There's barely enough for two."
Lei Xing glanced at the box and then at An Hao, who was glaring at her and said, "I think not." Then she looked away again.
