"Why did His Highness refuse to help Princess Jingfei?" Li Hua was upset to know that Lóng Wei didn't help Jingfei. She put the chopsticks down on the plate and asked him to help her.
"Li Hua, I cannot help her," Lóng Wei said and brought the dumpling near her mouth. "Open your mouth," he said, and she did. After she took a small bite, Lóng Wei pulled his hand back and ate the same dumpling.
"My help will not help her. I cannot tell Huang Xi to marry her when he doesn't like her. Then, the First Princess said something which grew Huang Xi's disinterest in her," Lóng Wei explained to her. Li Hua looked at him with inquisitiveness.
"What did she say?" she asked.
"You do not need to know," Lóng Wei stated.
"Why?"
"Because it is between me and Huang Xi," Lóng Wei replied.
