The waiter was stunned for a moment, his mouth slightly agape. He had never heard of any of these dishes before, yet they had just been described as having everything, and now...

"Sir, the dish you ordered is not available at our restaurant," the waiter said in a slightly guilty voice, telling the truth.

"No?"

Nan Yi lightly tapped the table, the sound reaching the waiter's ears. He heard her slowly say, "Then bring one of each: pickled fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, bitter melon stir-fried with eggs, spicy chicken, and a stir-fried lotus root."

The waiter looked up and grinned, "Sir, we have this."

Nan Yi smiled gently, rested her chin on her hand, and nodded, instantly stunning the waiter. After regaining his senses, he stood there blushing and stunned.

Nan Yi was teasing the waiter by listing the dishes he wanted to eat. In the next private room, three young men were listening intently as a woman's clear voice came through.

"Ninth Brother, you've bitten off more than you can chew, huh..."

Flying creatures, swimming creatures, running creatures... This is truly outrageous! Even the imperial chefs in the palace wouldn't dare boast like this. Does he think they can have dragon meat whenever they want? Bah, bah, this dragon meat is not that kind of dragon meat.

The Ninth Prince glared at his carefree younger brother, fanned himself with his fan twice in annoyance, and looked at the other gentle young man, "Eighth Brother, what do you see?"

The Eighth Prince glanced at his Ninth Brother, who was looking foolish, and said thoughtfully, "Did you figure it out?"

Having discerned something, the two shook their heads in confusion. Eighth Master, feigning mystery, kept them in suspense, "Think carefully?"

The two lowered their heads in thought again, and the Tenth Prince muttered, "What are all these fragrant and spicy things, sour and hot, it's so strange."

"Oh, I understand." Ninth Master tapped his palm lightly with his folding fan, suddenly realizing that his tenth brother had enlightened him.

He said, "My brother, I know what she means."

The Tenth Prince straightened up and asked, "What is it?" He was still completely confused.

Jiu A patted his shoulder and sighed softly, “You don’t know the good things about this.” For example, meeting, getting to know each other, longing for each other, the bittersweet taste of life, it’s all so hard to break the bond.

He was genuinely curious about what kind of woman could be so enigmatic and captivating when ordering food. So he said to his eighth brother, "I'd like to get to know her." The eighth prince pondered for a moment and then nodded. The three of them got up and went to the next room.

The three considered themselves clever and thought the other's words were extraordinary.

Little did they expect that the other party was completely ignorant and was just making things up.

After Nan finished ordering the food and the waiter left, she was admiring the furnishings in the room when a knock came at the door. Thinking it was the waiter, she answered and came in.

She was surprised to see the people appearing at the door. Her eyes lit up with amazement, but then her expression calmed down. However, she felt a pang of regret. What outstanding three handsome men! The first one had a gentle and refined demeanor. He smiled before speaking and stood tall and elegant. He wore the same moon-white robe as her and was clearly a graceful young gentleman.

The man on the left wore light blue clothes. His face was as bright as the moon, and he was incomparably handsome. He also had a strong and upright figure and an extraordinary bearing.

The person on the right is more normal; he is still a handsome and sunny young man. His brown brocade robe accentuates his tall and strong physique, and compared to the two people next to him, he exudes more masculine vigor.

Three handsome men of different types, but... their origins are unclear. She swallowed hard. They were just as handsome and extraordinary as the men she had seen in the garden, all with imposing presence.

Hmm, I'm not fortunate enough to enjoy it.

"A stunning beauty."

"Hmm, she's even more beautiful than the top courtesan at Piaoxiang Pavilion."

*Smack!*

Tenth Master rubbed his forehead, turned his head and saw his two older brothers glaring at him. He realized he had said the wrong thing and couldn't help but feel resentful.

"Bring us a few of the restaurant's signature dishes," the man in the light blue robe said magnanimously, waving his hand to order the waiter behind him.

The waiter clearly recognized them and immediately bowed, saying, "Yes, sir."

After instructing the waiter, the three men looked at the woman sitting alone by the table and were stunned by her beauty. The woman was dressed in an ordinary moon-white cheongsam, her hair was not combed, and her hair was tied back with a ribbon of the same color, which fell casually to her waist. She rested her delicate chin on her hand, and her clear, bright eyes looked at them meaningfully.

She crossed her long legs in an unrefined posture, yet possessed a unique languid charm. Although her face was veiled, obscuring her full features, her stunning beauty was still faintly visible through the white gauze.

A woman whose simplicity is extreme yet whose every move is captivating.

The three men were suddenly struck by a sudden thought. Eighth Master held his gilded folding fan to suppress his slightly erratic heartbeat. Gazing at the person before him, he felt a mixture of indistinguishable joy and inexplicable regret. What was in disarray? This was the first woman besides his mother to stir his heart since he learned of what had happened, and she was someone he had never met before.

Ninth Master's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He took a few steps forward, stared at her blankly for a long time, and then his eyes were completely blank. The private room became quiet and silent as a result.

Nan Yi slightly adjusted his posture, turned around and let out a long sigh. He couldn't resist being stared at so directly, especially by three handsome faces that made his blood boil.

These three are none other than the current eighth prince, Yinzhi, the ninth prince, Yintang, and the tenth prince, Yin'e, who left the palace after court. And so the story begins.

Nan Yi didn't delve into the intentions of the three uninvited guests. The Qing Dynasty was great; she could see such high-quality handsome men just by stepping outside. It was a pity she was already married.

Although, I don't really take it seriously.

The tenth prince, dressed in brown brocade, couldn't help but speak first, teasingly asking with a smile, "Miss, why are you covering your face? Are you ashamed to be seen?"

Nan Yi's almond-shaped eyes widened, but her eyes were exceptionally beautiful and lacked any fierceness. She thought to herself, "You're the one who's shameful."

He remained silent on the surface.

Seeing her slight displeasure, the Eighth Prince said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my brother was a bit rash. My two brothers and I overheard the names of the dishes you mentioned next door and had some doubts, so we came uninvited. If it's convenient, could you please let us sit down and have a chat?"
