"How is it done?" the Emperor took the winnowing basket from her hands and asked.
"Place it on the stone slab," said Lian Hua in a low and unnatural voice.
Thinking back to the scene just now made her face turn hot and her heart race; how could His Majesty do such a thing under the broad daylight...
"Hmm?" the Emperor's voice rose slightly at the end, looking at her.
