Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Li Zong had originally intended to take advantage of the woman, but ended up suffering a heavy loss. Lancôme was fine, being young and easily satisfied, but Ren Yue's demands were too much for him to handle. He would rest for the next few days and recuperate.

Ren Yue only found out what Li Zong had done when she went to accompany the Queen Mother. She hated him so much that Li Zong had deceived her again and dared to tease her father.

The Queen Mother stared at Ren Yue, furious at her lack of ambition: "You are really a disgrace to the women of the Ren family. You actually moved next door to the Li Mansion. If you want to find a man, find a decent man to live with. It is spineless to have such an ambiguous relationship with him."

Ren Yue told the Queen Mother: "I was the one who recommended Li Zong to the Queen Mother. It was the power of my Ren family that pushed him to such a high position. I will not resign myself to this. I can help him rise, but I can also pull him down."

The Queen Mother was shocked and asked her what she meant.

"I want to make him lose his reputation and make his life worse than death."

The Queen Mother was very satisfied. The women of the Ren family were ruthless in their actions. "Be clean and don't leave any handles."

In the evening, she waited for Li Zong to come, but he didn't show up until midnight. She asked the maid to check on Lan Comeu's room. After a while, the maid said that the young master had not gone to Miss Lan's room either.

"If he doesn't come, then send someone over." Ren Yue asked the maid to tell Lan Comeu to go to Li Zong's study. Lan Comeu knew the layout of the Li Mansion anyway.

Lancome was half asleep. She felt a little surprised when she heard what the maid said, but she also wanted to see the young master. Usually, Ren Yue monopolized the young master, and she dared not say anything. She could go to Li's house and throw herself into his arms, but Ren Yue did not have the courage to do so.

Li Zong was startled when he heard the knock on the door. After confirming that it was Lancome's voice, he opened the door and brought the person in, asking her why she came here?

"I miss you. If you don't miss me, then I'll go back."

Li Zong was reluctant to leave. How could he bear to refuse the beauty who had come to him? After some intimacy, he lay down contentedly. He told Lancome not to take risks in the future. If his wife found out, it would be over and he would not be able to save her.

"Got it, coward."

Ye Youlan and the Seventh Prince were packing their things in the inn and were about to set off again.

The secret guard ahead reported that the next resting place was in Yangcheng, sixty miles away from here.

Ye Youlan sat in the carriage and asked the Seventh Prince, "Yangcheng isn't even marked on the map. Is it so small that it's basically negligible?"

"Yangcheng is a small county town with a population of several thousand. The map you have has been processed."

"Why do we need to deal with it? Oh, I understand. It's to prevent it from falling into enemy hands. Just like some city defense maps are state secrets and cannot be disclosed, many enemy spies go undercover just to obtain a city's defense map. With a defense map, the enemy can control the lifeblood of a city."

"How come you know everything?"

"I am just clever, and you are wise. In front of you, I am like Guan Gong showing off his sword and a master showing off his skills."

"Grumpy."

The carriage stopped and started along the way, and in the middle of the journey, it also happened to attend a big market that the locals only had every five days.

Ye Youlan and the Seventh Prince got off the car and bought two strings of candied haws, some sugar cakes, a Kongming lock, and a tangram puzzle.

When returning to the carriage, I saw a farmer with his trouser legs rolled up and his calves covered in mud. His fish basket was full of crayfish.

Ye Youlan's eyes lit up and she bought them all, asking Dingxiang to put them in the car. When she arrived in Yangcheng, she wanted to eat garlic crayfish.

Dingxiang was a little scared, so Li Zhi carried her and put her on the next carriage.

The yard that the secret guard outpost had rented in advance had already been cleaned up and even dinner was prepared.

Ye Youlan asked them to wait for a while before eating and went to the kitchen to cook the prawns.

"Ma'am, how do you eat this? It looks scary."

Ye Youlan said proudly, "You'll know in a moment."

If it were in modern society, Ye Youlan would have cut off all the prawn claws, but now there was no need to be so particular. She rinsed them with water, and then instructed the secret guard who could cook to cook. Soon a large bowl of lobsters was brought up, red and greasy, with a strong garlic aroma.

Everyone just smelled the food and watched how the lady ate it, as they had never eaten it before.

Ye Youlan taught everyone how to eat it. She picked up a lobster with her chopsticks and placed it in the bowl. Then she put down her chopsticks and said, "You have to peel it by hand. Remove the head, then peel off the shell. Remove the shrimp thread from the back, and dip it in vinegar. It tastes delicious."

Ye Youlan ate one, and seeing that no one else was moving their chopsticks, she peeled another one and passed it to the Seventh Prince: "Try it."

"I will not eat."

"Open your mouth and eat one. If it doesn't taste good, I won't force you to eat a second one."

The Seventh Prince reluctantly opened his mouth and ate one. It tasted really fresh. His eyes lit up: "Peel another one for me."

Ye Youlan smiled. She picked up a plate from the basin and asked Li Zhi to take it down for everyone to share.

"Why don't we eat together?"

"Because it's difficult to observe etiquette when eating this, and it looks ugly, I have to protect your prince's face."

The prince reached out to peel it, but Ye Youlan reminded him to be careful, otherwise he would get covered in oil.

"Please peel a few for me to taste."

"Other places have men peeling shrimp for women, but here it's the other way around. If someone saw me, they'd call me love-brained."

"On the second day after your wedding, you served tea to the Queen Mother and you punished me by making me peel shrimp for you. Did you forget?"

I remember it, I remember it.

Ye Youlan said that but still put the shrimp meat into his mouth.

"How do you know this is edible?"

"Haven't I told you many times? I'm the best at eating, drinking and having fun. I tell you there are many ways to cook crayfish, but my favorite is garlic shrimp. Coming here and being able to eat it makes me very satisfied in this life."

"We can eat it back in the capital, but it's a little troublesome to transport it. As long as we have money, it's not impossible."

Ye Youlan thought of a sentence: "A concubine smiles when she sees a horse in the mortal world, but no one knows it is the lobster coming." This is really a wonderful experience, and she will let Xiaoling and the others try it when the time comes.

"I have to write to Xiaoling and recommend the first delicious meal I'll try on my trip. I'll make them crave it."

Prince Ye saw that Ye Youlan's hands and mouth were covered in oil, and her eating manners were indeed unrefined: "Next time I will peel the shrimp for you."

"The real joy of eating prawns is peeling them yourself. After a busy day, workers can sit down at a food stall with a few friends, a big pot of prawns, and a beer. It's so refreshing."

As soon as Ye Youlan saw the look in the Seventh Prince's eyes, she knew that she was going to be upset: "I'll go wash up."

The Seventh Prince came outside and saw that the guards had poor table manners. They had already divided up a pot of big lobsters, but some of them were still reluctant to eat and were dipping their big steamed buns in the soup!

"Would you like to pick up some beer?"

Everyone looked up: "What's beer?"

As expected, they didn't know what beer was either.

After eating and drinking, Ye Youlan didn't feel sleepy at all. The cicadas outside were chirping loudly.

"Tomorrow, have Li Zhi lead some people to catch all the cicadas on the trees and roast them for food."

The Seventh Prince was reading a book. When he heard her say that, he couldn't help but ask, "Why do you eat everything?"
