After the Emperor finished bathing, Lian Hua yelled towards the outside, "Xiao Jizi, is the water boiling?"
A reply came from outside, "Returning to Master, almost, almost."
What's going on here?
Before the Emperor could figure it out, Lian Hua motioned to him, inviting him to sit at the table in the adjoining hall. She sat beside him, stretching her head to look towards the door.
The Emperor playfully pinched her cheek, then glanced at the table where a large bowl and a small box of tea leaves were placed. Are they going to make tea?
Soon, there was movement outside, Xiao Jizi stepped in with a kettle of boiling water, "Greetings, His Majesty, greetings, Master, the plum blossom snow water is boiling, ready to brew tea."
"Open the lid, move it over a bit." Lian Hua picked up the box of tea from the table, intending to pour the tea leaves into the kettle.
