"The food on this table is all the finest I have carefully selected; it is absolutely top-notch in the capital!" The Fifth Princess said with great pride.
Those who came to support the southward migration app clapped their hands and exclaimed, "Wow, you're amazing!"
The Fourth Prince and Nan Yichu were engrossed in their food, like two ravenous devils, paying no attention to what the girls were saying.
The Fifth Princess proudly raised her chin, "Besides these, I've also sent someone to buy steamed sweet cheese from Granny Liu's shop on East Street. It'll be there soon!"
Nanqianyue clapped her hands with a smile again, "Wow, I can't wait!"
The Fifth Princess's mouth stretched almost to her ears, and her chin couldn't help but rise. "How about it? Isn't this princess generous!"
The girl who was migrating south clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Wow, the Fifth Princess is the most generous of all!"
The Fifth Princess personally served Nanqian Yue a few bites of food, saying, "Eat up. We might become family in the future. I'll secretly get used to it and call you 'Imperial Aunt' a few times."
Before the applause could even leave her lips and the words of refusal could escape her throat, the Fifth Princess leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Imperial Aunt, Imperial Aunt, Imperial Aunt..."
During the month of the southward migration, I felt like someone was chanting scriptures in my ear, and my head was spinning.
Vida, who was observing from the shadows, nodded approvingly; the Fifth Princess was indeed the one who knew what was going on.
He thought to himself, "Maybe I should secretly call her 'Princess' a few times next time?"
Miss Nan would definitely not allow it, so he called out in the dark, so that Miss Nan could only hear his voice but could not find him.
Nanqianyue sighed, "If you don't eat soon, the two of them will finish it all."
The Fifth Princess turned her head sharply and saw her brother and Nan Yichu stuffing food into their mouths.
"Aren't you afraid of choking if you eat so fast?" The Fifth Princess picked up her chopsticks and started stuffing her mouth as well.
The fourth prince chewed on his meat and said, "It's rare for my little sister to be so generous, so I'll definitely eat more so that your money won't be wasted."
Nan Yichu nodded, her cheeks puffed out.
As she moved south, her eyebrows arched, she slowly sliced meat with a small knife, then picked it up with a fork and chewed it in small bites, embodying elegance in every detail.
The fifth princess, who was only eating rice, gave her a disappointed look and had no choice but to take a break and serve her a few more bites of food.
I was afraid she wouldn't have enough to eat.
The maids standing by were speechless. They had never seen such a scene of food fighting among nobles. They didn't need to help serve the food at all; in fact, they seemed superfluous.
"Oh dear, my hands are tired. Someone, please cut this meat into smaller pieces for me, and also serve me half a bowl of soup. There can't be a single scallion in it. And those bones in front of them, quickly remove them, they're in the way." Nan Qianyue instructed, her fingers delicately curled.
The maids immediately stepped forward and did as they were told, thinking to themselves, "Finally, a normal nobleman has appeared."
"Green-clad Ayu, take your money bag and go buy some food. You don't need to serve us here," Nan Qianyue said gently, waving her hand.
Green-clad Ayu happily withdrew.
"I don't want this piece of meat." Nan Qianyue pointed to the piece of goose meat that the maid was about to cut.
The Fifth Princess frowned. "Why not? You seemed to really like it just now."
Nanqianyue smiled innocently, "This piece of meat was picked up for me with the chopsticks you had used to eat with."
The Fifth Princess was taken aback, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she apologized, "I'm sorry, I forgot in my haste."
After saying that, she put the piece of meat on her own plate.
The Fifth Princess's servants were quite fast at running errands; they bought the steamed sugar cheese from Granny Wang's house.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" The Fifth Princess waved her hands and feet excitedly.
The servants respectfully placed four portions of steamed ghee in front of the dignitaries and thoughtfully opened the lids.
A fragrant aroma wafted through the air. Nanqianyue fanned her nose with her hand, "Milk, wine, and fruit aromas, not bad, I'm quite looking forward to it."
She picked up a spoon, scooped up a little, and tasted it. "Hmm, three parts sweet, one part sour, two parts milky, wine, and fruity aromas. It's silky smooth and not sticky, and the aftertaste even has a faint floral fragrance. This dessert is top-notch."
After she finished her evaluation, she smiled and looked up, only to see the three of them put down their spoons in unison and let out a burp. The white porcelain jar in front of them was empty.
Nanqianyue's eyelid twitched slightly. It was nothing; they were just fifteen-year-old kids, still growing.
After a meal that was both swift and elegant, the maids brought out spring water and tea in an orderly fashion.
After washing his hands and cleansing his mouth, and drinking some fragrant tea, he prepared to leave.
The Fifth Princess pouted in dissatisfaction and handed her the dessert that Nanqianyue had only eaten half of, saying, "How can you waste something so delicious? I don't care, you have to finish it."
That's really expensive.
Nanqianyue sighed helplessly, "Fine, we'll eat in the carriage."
It was already late when they returned to the Prime Minister's residence. Tomorrow was the farewell banquet at Yi Garden, and Nanqian Yue thought she should take a bath and go to bed early.
But I ate a bit too much, so I had to take a walk in the yard before washing up.
"princess."
A voice suddenly came from behind.
Nanqianyue pressed her hand to her chest, trying to reassure herself. It must be a hallucination. Yes, a hallucination. How could something evil be coming to find her?
She is upright and righteous!
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
A mechanical voice sounded again from the darkness on the left.
The person covering their left ear during the southward migration must be hallucinating!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness." A voice came from the shadows on the right.
Nanqianyue covered her right ear again and tiptoed slowly into the house.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness..." The voices echoed from all directions in the darkness.
The southward migration began with my legs moving fast, tears streaming down my face. These days, even ghosts can mistake people for ghosts!
...
The following day, at Yi Garden, a farewell banquet was held, and everyone attended in their finest attire.
As the Yue family moved south, they received greetings from many officials and their wives along the way, and the Prime Minister never lowered his arms to embrace them.
Only after he sat down did he secretly shake his sore and numb hands.
The Prime Minister's wife kindly massaged his hands and handed him a teacup, saying, "Have some tea to moisten your mouth."
