Sheng Li came to the chamber after freshening up and sat on the bed. "Sheng Li, come have lunch," Ying Lili said softly, who was sitting around a table.
"You did not eat?" Sheng Li asked.
"No, I was waiting for you. You left me in the middle. How could I eat without you?" Ying Lili asked Sheng Li who chuckled. He stood up from the bed, tied the knot of his upper jacket, and went towards her. He took his seat, facing Ying Lili who handed him the chopstick.
Sheng Li thanked her, and the two started eating. A minute later, Ying Lili asked him where he was.
"The place where the Hand Knife Game is played," Sheng Li replied.
"What?" Ying Lili exclaimed. "Why did you not take me there? This is wrong. You promised me that you will let me stay beside you," Ying Lili complained.
Sheng Li smiled upon hearing the complaint of the Crown Princess. "I was there to check about the place and there were no women except a few dancers," Sheng Li stated.
