The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

It was an hour later when Yin Xiyue and her group left with Ruan Chaozong, and by then the fleet of boats performing the iron flower dance on Yinyuan Lake had long since disappeared.

Looking at the flower boats that had gathered again on the lake, Yue Li felt a little regretful. She hadn't expected time to pass so quickly, and the iron flower performance team had already left.

Jin Chenyuan could clearly see the look in Yue Li's eyes. He comforted her, "If A-Li still wants to see it, there will still be a performance of iron flowers during the Qu Shui Liu Shang Festival held in Kyoto after the third day of the third lunar month."

"Well, it's nothing. It's just a little regrettable that I didn't get to watch it from beginning to end," Yue Li said with a smile.

She's not a child anymore, how could she throw a tantrum over this?

There's no need to go out of your way to comfort her because of this.

"That's good. Would Ah Li like to go play on the flower boat for a while? The Marriage Lake is quite lively now."

Following Jin Chenyuan's words, Yue Li looked over and saw that the Marriage Lake was now brightly lit by lanterns of various colors, with flower boats of different sizes slowly gliding through it. Even from the teahouse, one could hear the sounds of drums and music coming from the flower boats.

"Are you going?" Yue Li didn't answer immediately, but looked at the other people in the private room.

It's getting late, so if they don't want to go, they can go back early.

However, without exception, the answer they received was that they should accompany Yue Li to the Marriage Lake to see the excitement.

What a joke! Their main task tonight is to accompany Yue Li on her outing. If Yue Li doesn't go back, but they go back first, what kind of nonsense is that?

So the group then moved on to the flower boat at Prince Chen's residence.

This was my second time visiting this decorated boat. It was clear that the boat had been specially decorated this time. The three-story boat was not only made more beautiful by all kinds of small lanterns, but also had luminous pearls placed on the top floor to illuminate the entire boat.

After strolling around the flower boat, the group returned to the second-floor deck, where they sat at the tables and chairs arranged there. They drank pre-made milk tea, ate beef jerky, and gazed at the unique scenery of the Marriage Lake under the moonlight. Yue Li smiled at Jin Chenyuan, who was sitting next to her.

It's obvious without even thinking that Jin Chenyuan arranged all of this.

"How did you know I'd still go to the pleasure boat?" What if she had gone straight back? Yue Li asked curiously, taking a bite of her spicy beef jerky.

To be honest, after walking around for so long, she was indeed a little hungry.

Picking up the teapot of red bean flavored milk tea and refilling Yue Li's empty teacup, Jin Chenyuan smiled and said, "I already gave all the instructions before A-Li left. If we waited until A-Li arrived to prepare, wouldn't everything be too late?"

"I must say, the different flavors of milk tea that A-Yue had made are really quite delicious." Shao Qi said, after finishing a cup of milk tea made from tea leaves and putting a piece of beef jerky in his mouth.

"So these milk teas were made by Sister Li! I thought they were invented by the head chef of Prince Chen's mansion." Gong Hanmo asked in surprise as he sipped the milk tea with fruit pieces in his cup.

"It was Yue who instructed the chefs to make it. Isn't it delicious? Not only this milk tea, but also this beef jerky, were all made by Yue." Shao Qi praised Yue Li endlessly when talking about her.

"Oh, so these milk teas and beef jerky were Princess Chen's idea. I didn't expect Princess Chen to be so clever." Sheng Yifan was surprised when he heard this news, and then praised her.

The milk tea in the cup and the beef jerky on the plate were flavors he had never tasted before. He had eaten dried meat before, but it was much harder to chew than this beef jerky. You see, he had traveled to several countries over the years and had eaten many rare foods.

Jin Moyu stared intently at Yue Li, chewing on beef jerky, and nodded silently. She really was captivating.

"It's not as exaggerated as you guys make it out to be. Everyone, drink as much as you like, and eat as much as you like." Yue Li was a little embarrassed by what the others said. Besides, this wasn't something she had researched; she was just a facilitator!

However, it definitely tastes good; after all, milk tea has been affirmed by countless people in modern times.

Just then, everyone saw Sheng Yifan's servant leading a group of people over, each carrying two food boxes.

Seeing everyone looking at him with puzzled expressions, Sheng Yifan explained to Yue Li, "Everyone has been walking around for so long, you must all be hungry, right? Here are some dishes that I had prepared at the restaurant, please make do with them."

As he spoke, he stared intently at Yue Li with his narrow eyes. When Yue Li looked at him in return, his eyes instantly curved into smiles. At that moment, the mole at the corner of his eye, like a small hook, drew people's gaze in.

Clearly, Sheng Yifan knew how to amplify his strengths.

Sure enough, Yue Li felt her cheeks flush instantly when he looked at her with his long, narrow black eyes, especially the small mole at the corner of his eye, which always kept her gaze on him.

Jin Chenyuan sat next to him and his face darkened instantly when he saw Sheng Yifan deliberately flirting with Yue Li.

what's going on?

What if all of them didn't exist?

"Cough cough."

Two coughs, neither too loud nor too soft, instantly drew Yue Li's attention back.

After Yue Li looked away, she felt a little embarrassed. She hadn't expected that she would keep staring at Sheng Yifan.

She turned her head and gave Jin Chenyuan a bright smile, her fox-like eyes crinkling with laughter.

Upon seeing Yue Li's smile, all the anger in Jin Chenyuan's heart was released as if a floodgate had been opened.

What else can I do?

Didn't he already know that Yue Li was someone who cared a lot about her appearance?

Sometimes, I even take a second look at good-looking people when I see them on the street.

Upon seeing this, Sheng Yifan raised an eyebrow.

Unexpectedly, even the renowned Prince Chen was completely captivated by his fairy-like woman.

Seeing that Yue Li was no longer looking in his direction, Sheng Yifan told himself that he couldn't be impatient. He had already taken a good first step and made contact with her, hadn't he?

Moreover, judging from Yue Li's current demeanor, she doesn't seem to dislike him, which is already quite good. Things should be taken slowly.

Looking at the various dishes that had been laid out, Sheng Yifan said enthusiastically, "Everyone, please eat! These are all specialties of Yingxianglou. Please try them and see if they suit your taste."

As he spoke, he disassembled a hairy crab, placed the crab meat and roe into a bowl in front of him, and then pushed it in front of Yue Li, saying, "Try it and see how it is? Although the hairy crabs now are not as plump as they are in October, they still have a unique flavor."
