She called to the waiter standing nearby, "Prepare three clean plates," then ran to borrow the kitchen from the manager, before running back over and nodding to the three of them, "Wait a moment."

During this time, he glared at the Tenth Prince and said sternly, "Don't steal any food." After saying that, he followed the shopkeeper to the kitchen to prepare.

The Tenth Prince blushed and stared helplessly at her retreating figure, having completely lost face in front of his brothers.

Nan thought of the crepes she had now. When she went into the kitchen, she saw the cook had leftover dough from making noodles. She took it and rolled it into wrappers. She asked the chef for a piece of pork belly, rubbed it evenly on the bottom of the hot pan, and when the pan was shiny with oil, she placed the wrappers on the bottom of the pan. After one side was cooked, she flipped it over and made twelve in this way.

This way of eating is simple, convenient and easy to do. Modern parents often make it. She has only ever made this one kind of food all her life.

When Nan Yi returned, they were already drinking. After she brought the steamed buns to the table, the Tenth Prince frowned and complained, "You've been gone for so long, and this is all you've made." He pressed them with his hand, and a little bit of caramelized aroma wafted out.

"What do you know?" She glared at the Tenth Prince and demonstrated to them, "Spread the pancake out like this, put the vegetables on it, then roll it up, and you can eat it." After saying that, she lifted her veil, stuffed it into her mouth, and took a bite. Mmm, delicious. It had been a long time since she had eaten this. She finished one in a few bites.

Perhaps finding it novel, and observing her eating manners, they suddenly felt their mouths watering and their stomachs growling with hunger, so the three of them started eating without any hesitation.

Seeing how cooperative they were, Nan started bragging about how her family prepared the dish this way and how much they loved it.

The three of them buried their heads in their food, not saying a word, only muttering "uh-huhs" in response. When she finally came to her senses, the plate of flatbread on the table was empty, and the other dishes were gone too. Nan sneered, "Isn't he supposed to be a rich young master? Didn't he complain about the simple food? This is how he eats..."

The Ninth Prince noticed her gaze, elegantly wiped his hands, and raised an eyebrow innocently, "I only ate three," the implication being clear: he hadn't finished eating before they were gone.

Upon hearing this, the Tenth Prince quickly distanced himself, saying, "I only ate four as well." Eating one more than his brother wasn't much, was it?

Nan Yi glared at him. There were only four. She only made twelve. This glutton had stolen two bags of meat on the way. Don't think she didn't know. She finally made them, and he hadn't even had enough.

The Eighth Prince had one left, already taken a bite, and it was unclear whether he should continue or... He also thought it tasted good and ate three, the same number as the Ninth Prince.

Nan Yi saw that the Eighth Prince still had some in his hand, and stared at it menacingly. She glanced at the other person and then at the cake in his hand. When the Eighth Prince saw this, he instinctively wanted to put it in his mouth, but before he could do so, she quickly reached out and snatched it, stuffing it into her mouth and chewing it fiercely. Her eyes never left the Eighth Prince, and she did not feel that her behavior was inappropriate.

She didn't mind the mess. She had grown up with her fellow students since childhood, sharing both good times and bad. It wasn't uncommon for them to take a bite of a chicken leg each.

The Eighth Prince looked at his empty hands, smiled nonchalantly, and thoughtfully poured tea for Nan Yi, afraid she might choke.

Like the unintentional carelessness she exudes, without the rigid adherence to etiquette and norms of worldly women, and with a touch of childlike innocence, Nan Yi's performance is natural and exceptionally lively.

What kind of family could raise such a woman? It's unbelievable.

After finishing her meal, Nan Yi glared at the Tenth Prince, noticing his slightly bulging belly. Pointing at her, she couldn't help but laugh, "You ate so much, like a lesbian." The Tenth Prince blushed, also realizing he'd eaten too much that day, but not understanding her meaning, he asked, "What's a lesbian?"

Nan Yi looked at him mischievously, "It's the kind of thing that can eat and sleep a lot."

The Eighth Prince lowered his eyes in thought. Something that can be eaten and slept?

The Ninth Prince casually remarked, "If you can eat and sleep, aren't you just a pig?" He then abruptly stopped, letting out a dry laugh. Being too clever wasn't his fault.

The Tenth Prince got angry when he heard this, "Then you're a lesbian."

Nan Yi objected, "Why?"

"Because we're sitting at the same table," the Tenth Prince said casually.

This guy reacted quickly. Then she was cursing herself. With a mocking look in her eyes, Nan Yi glanced at the three of them and said, "Oh, likewise." Let's go together. She often drags people down with her.

The Ninth Prince had just taken a sip of tea when he heard these words, and he spat out all the tea, which was aimed directly at the Tenth Prince, spraying it all over his face. The Tenth Prince wiped his face and looked at his Ninth Brother with a long face.

The Ninth Prince took out a handkerchief and hastily wiped the Tenth Prince's face, explaining awkwardly, "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue."

Nan Yi slammed her hand on the table and exclaimed, "That was definitely a slip of the tongue!" The Eighth Prince covered his face with his fan, his shoulders still shaking. Well, now the whole table had become a lesbian community.

******

"Nan Yi, are you really going?" The Tenth Prince asked again with a pained expression.

It was all his fault for speaking too quickly, saying that Hanyan Lake was the most lively place at night. Only after saying that did he realize that it was not a place for young ladies to go. Poor him, he really didn't mean it, and he didn't know how many glares he received from his two older brothers along the way.

The Ninth Prince glared at the Tenth Prince, then noticed Nan Yi's excitement; his eyes were shining, and he was full of enthusiasm. It was too late to stop him now.

The three of them stood by the lake and gazed into the distance. The people coming and going on the misty shore were quite chaotic. At this time, dusk was falling, and colorful ribbons and lanterns hung from the treetops along the lake. The flower boats in the center of the lake were brightly lit.

The shore was filled with couples, and although their behavior was somewhat flirtatious, the scene was indeed lively.

The three men felt slightly uncomfortable. The Eighth Prince stepped aside to block Nan Yi, not wanting her to see this frivolous and chaotic scene. However, the girl was too excited and clung to his shoulder, pushing forward on tiptoe. The Ninth and Tenth Princes coldly blocked the strangers who wanted to strike up a conversation.

"Hey, look! That man's hand is inside that girl's shirt!" Nan Yi whispered.

Wow, in broad daylight—no, it's already dark—in a public place, this person actually dared to grope someone's breasts! People in ancient times were quite unrestrained and passionate, weren't they?

The three looked over and instantly turned around, their hearts pounding. The Tenth Prince pretended to fan himself with his sleeve, thinking to himself, "It's so hot today."

The Ninth Prince wasn't much better off. He gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath, "Damn it, who is this guy? He's so lecherous. I'll go back and investigate him and make a note of it." However, he was too agitated and his mind was in turmoil, so he hurried back to calm down.

The Eighth Prince's face darkened. He coughed lightly, stepped forward to block Nan Yi's lecherous gaze, and sighed helplessly. He hoped they wouldn't run into any acquaintances. Otherwise, they wouldn't care if he brought a woman to a place like this, but Nan Yi was afraid her reputation would be damaged.

They should leave quickly, otherwise, if she sees something she shouldn't, it will be awkward for a group of grown men to be with a young woman.

He hadn't finished sighing...

"Oh my, look behind us... wow, so hot..." she exclaimed again. Wasn't the Qing Dynasty supposed to be very feudal? This, this, she thought it was quite unrestrained.

Three imposing and distinguished men suddenly turned around. "Ancestors, what have you seen now?"
