Sheng Li returned to his chamber at noon and found Ying Lili was refusing to have lunch. "I will wait for the Emperor," Ying Lili said when she saw Sheng Li. She stood up from the chaise. "He is here," Ying Lili said.
Court Lady Ki stepped back and lowered her head. The maidservants also lowered her head. "Leave us," Sheng Li said. The servants quickly left the chamber. Sheng Li removed the overcoat and put it on the chair.
"You still act stubborn while having lunch," Sheng Li stated.
"Stubborn? No. It is love," Ying Lili said and smiled. Sheng Li came to her and hugged her.
"At least don't wait for me for meals when you are pregnant," Sheng Li said. "Brother Jian and Brother Nianzu have returned from the Lu Province." He pulled away and took her towards the table. Pulling out a chair for her, he made her sit on it.
