Chapter 57 A Different Birthday

"What did you say? Where did your highness go?"

Outside Furong Pavilion, Shi Nuanyu had been waiting for a long time but still could not be seen. Yu Changfeng had just told him that he would be the one to sleep with him tonight, so why was His Highness not there now?

After waiting for a long time and seeing no one show up, he immediately arrested the maid in Hibiscus Pavilion and asked,
The maid lowered her brows and said, "The princess left the palace two hours ago. If you have anything to say, you can come and see the princess tomorrow."

Untried's face was darker than the bottom of a pot, "Yu Changfeng, I cannot stand with you."

In the Jade Pavilion of the Princess's Mansion, swords and knives were clashing, and the fight was full of gunpowder. However, in the Willow Alley, it was a different scene.

"Is it really okay to leave the treasures in Chunyu Tower?"

Shi Nuanyu asked uncertainly.

Why does she feel that it is a little unreliable?

Tao Huiyan walked leisurely, each step full of charm. He turned his head to look at the woman beside him.

"Your Highness, what are you afraid of? The secret guards will send her safely to the princess's mansion."

Hearing this, Shi Nuanyu felt relieved.

The moonlight was dim, and the sky above Yanliu Lane was covered with a thick layer of fog. The dark clouds in the sky could not bear the fog, and heavy rain seemed to be pouring down.

The sky is surging with wind, but the willow alleys are decorated with lights and colorful lanterns.

People came and went in the building, enjoying the rest of the pleasure.

"where are we going?"

Shi Nuanyu was puzzled, as going inside was not the way back to the princess's mansion.

Tao Huiyan coughed twice, stopped and leaned lazily on Shi Nuan's shoulder.

"Your Highness, would you like to try sleeping in a brothel?"

The man's tall body pressed down on her shoulders, causing them to feel numb. Shi Nuanyu moved away uncomfortably.

"Your Highness doesn't like me to get close to you? In the past, Your Highness loved my body the most."

Here it comes again, Shi Nuanyu straightened his body and threatened him in a bad mood.

"Stand properly. If you come any closer to me, I will kill you."

One by one, they came to challenge her bottom line.

Tao Huiyan chuckled softly, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes were misted with tears due to coughing.

"If Your Highness is really interested, I am willing to give it a try."

Shi Nuanyu cursed inwardly: You witch, you come to seduce her again.

If Mr. Kong were here, he would definitely send him to the eighteenth level of hell.

Fortunately, she had given herself a warning so she was not bewitched by him.

Which is more important, life or a man? Everyone can tell which is more important.

"You mean to let me stay at the Beauty Pavilion tonight?"

Tao Huiyan teased, "Your Highness, are you afraid that you won't be able to control yourself when you are two people in the same room?"

"I am upright in mind and body, how could I not have this little patience?"

Shi Nuanyu retorted, but in her heart she was secretly happy that she could have a good time with the beautiful sisters tonight.

The two entered the Beauty Pavilion and saw the bright red candlelight. The building was decorated with flowers and red silk, as if a grand banquet was being held.

There was no beautiful sister as I had imagined, not even the gatekeeper.

Tao Huiyan led her into the house as usual.

"Did Beauty Pavilion go bankrupt?"

In this situation, Nuanyu couldn't help but ask questions.

Tao Huiyan was at a loss for words, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

For the first time, he found this woman so interesting. She was indeed different from before.

Realizing what he had said, Shi Nuanyu felt embarrassed. How could he be so financially secure as to be bankrupt?

She pretended not to hear Tao Huiyan's question and ran to a table that looked particularly conspicuous. She saw the noodles on the table at a glance.

"Longevity noodles?"

"Whose birthday is today?"

When he heard the word "birthday", the smile in Tao Huiyan's eyes faded a little. He walked to the table, pulled a chair and sat down.

"It's my birthday."

He was clearly smiling, but Shi Nuanyu could see that he was very sad, and his nostalgic eyes seemed to be reminiscing about something?
Seeing that he was about to eat the completely cold longevity noodles, Shi Nuanyu moved the bowl away.

"I'm hungry."

She was indeed hungry; the food she had eaten all the way from the palace had long since been digested. Tao Huiyan suddenly realized, "Yes, Your Highness hasn't had dinner yet." He calculated the time in his mind, "It's still early, the noodle soup stalls outside should still be open."

Shi Nuanyu shook her head and refused, "It's gloomy outside, I don't know when it will rain."

The rumbling in my stomach disturbed the tranquility of the moment.

She blinked frantically in embarrassment, "Is there a Dongchu in the Beauty Pavilion? Let's go and try it."

Tao Huiyan seemed to have heard some shocking news, "Your Highness can actually cook?"

Of course she knows it, but she can't say that she learned it in her previous life.

"You'll know if you can try it. Why bother with all this?"

The two came to the east kitchen and looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the cold stove.

In her previous life, she had used electrical appliances and had also lit a small stove, but this was her first time trying to use a stove.

Shi Nuanyu asked tentatively, "How about we light the stove first?"

Tao Huiyan agreed, "Good idea."

The two of them hit it off immediately and squatted in front of the stove to start making a fire.

Shi Nuanyu began to look for a fire starter and carefully split it into smaller pieces.

Tao Huiyan put the firewood into the stove and took out the tinder to start the fire.

"Click it and put it in."

She handed the fire starter to Tao Huiyan, who carefully lit it and then put the fire starter into the stove.

The two held their breath and stared closely at the slowly burning firewood until it was completely ignited. Shi Nuanyu cheered excitedly.

"Tao Huiyan, we succeeded."

The woman's bright smile was like the rising sun shining through the peach forest, and the haze in Tao Huiyan's heart was melted away by the warm light.

This year's birthday was not difficult to endure.

Shi Nuanyu raised a smug smile and patted the man's shoulder proudly.

"Brother, let me show you what I can do."

She ran to the food area with a sense of satisfaction to choose ingredients, and picked up a few handfuls of vegetables and a few eggs.

Tao Huiyan followed her slowly to get the things.

Fortunately, the two were lucky and found some noodles that had not been used up.

"Tao Huiyan, aren't we incredibly lucky?"

Shi Nuanyu was very proud, "Celebrating your birthday should be happy, isn't it even happier to have someone accompany you?"

It is indeed joyful.

In previous years, on his birthday, his aunt would always prepare a bowl of longevity noodles for him, but she would disappear. In fact, he knew where his aunt had gone.

Tao Huiyan followed the woman's figure with his eyes, and he finally understood why the men in the princess's mansion hoped that she would appear.

She was as bright as the warm spring sun, and he thought no one could refuse such a warm woman.

"What would you like to eat, Your Highness?"

Shi Nuanyu pointed at the noodles in the basket and said, "Isn't it obvious enough? I want to make longevity noodles."

Tao Huiyan hesitated to speak, watching her put all the rolled noodles into the pot, and then put the cold bowl of noodles back into the pot.

Well, he should be able to eat it all.

After two large bowls of noodles were ready, Shi Nuanyu started to prepare the egg custard. If there was no cake, egg custard could be used as a substitute.

After the food was ready, they brought the noodles and egg custard to the table.

Shi Nuanyu moved the noodles she cooked in front of him and urged him expectantly.

"Try it and see if the noodles I cooked are delicious."

Tao Huiyan was moved and took a bite. He savored the flavor carefully, and the sweet noodles and soup left an endless aftertaste in his mouth.

So sweet.

"I am so lucky to be able to eat noodles cooked by His Highness himself. It is truly..."

"Wait, I don't like compliments. Just tell me if the noodles are delicious."

Shi Nuanyu interrupted him dissatisfiedly. This was the first time in her two lives that she cooked for others. She was now very curious about her cooking skills.

Tao Huiyan swallowed the words in her mouth and took another big bite.

"good to eat."
