Excellent!
(If this was the long-running D&D game, and the Chamberlain was an NPC, I would probably go with it, rather than say "No he doesn't. It's your nose, but nobody else thinks so." On the otherhand, you could treat it as a childish conspiracy amongst the characters to humiliate him.)
I really like it when players conspire to do something to completely screw over the GM, as long as it's fun. We played one game where whenever we met someone who vaguely looked like they were going to feed us info, we would kill them before they go the chance. (We were young.)
Incidentally, their are explicit rules in the Dying Earth RPG (in Cugel's Compendium) for running a long con, not just on NPCs, but on the GM.
