The waiter brought over a plate of gold and silver steamed buns, which Gu Yaoniang presented to Princess Ruining as if it were a treasure, urging her to try them.
There were twelve small steamed buns neatly arranged on a round plate, each only half the size of a baby's fist.

Princess Ruining, unsure of the flavor of the sauce, tentatively dipped a steamed bun lightly into the sauce before putting it in her mouth.
Her eyes lit up immediately.
