Chapter 234

The place Bai Lichen mentioned was his palace in the imperial palace.Although Bailichen already has his own mansion outside, the palace here still has maids and eunuchs taking care of it, and it is very tidy.

When Bailichen saw that Yunlan was going to make longevity noodles for the Queen Mother, he felt that this was the best place.First of all, this place is closer to the Empress Dowager's Compassionate Ning Palace, if it is served from the imperial dining room, the noodles may swell if they are not cold.Seeing the Queen Mother's appearance, he was afraid that his appetite would not be much better. If the noodles were too hot, the Queen Mother would lose her appetite even more.

Seeing the Queen Mother not eating, the little things would naturally feel sad.

Secondly, the imperial dining room is full of fish and eyes, the Empress Dowager's illness came on so suddenly, someone must have tampered with it, if at this time someone is tampering with her face, trying to frame the little thing.It will surely catch her off guard.Therefore, this is also the main reason why he didn't let Yunlan go to the imperial dining room.

Three years ago, he had never seen a little thing cooking. His mother and concubine once said that the most beautiful thing is the way people cook for their loved ones.Although he hasn't waited for the little thing to cook for him, but this way, he wants to appreciate it alone.

Therefore, in the small kitchen of the Ninth Prince's palace, Bailichen lazily leaned against the doorway, quietly admiring Yunlan's selection of dishes, his eyes full of tenderness.

"The Queen Mother is so weak, so she must not be able to eat too greasy food, but the ingredients here are limited, what should I do?" Yunlan is not good at cooking, and the only thing she knows how to cook is this long-lived noodle. Watching Bai Lichen get people to prepare ingredients in a hurry, he hated himself very much.

Yunlan, you are really useless. At this time, you can't even do something as simple as making a bowl of noodles with your own hands. What use are you?

"I will make it with you." Seeing her looking at those vegetables circling around, Bailichen walked over and twirled a few green vegetables, "Although this king doesn't know how to make longevity noodles, the concubine is still alive. Sometimes, I often serve simple vegetables and egg noodles to the king, although it is simple, the taste is also very good."

"Bailichen..." Yunlan glanced at him gratefully with misty eyes, then reached out to grab the kitchen knife in front and cut the vegetables.

But Bailichen hugged her in his arms, and wrapped her hand holding the kitchen knife with the other hand, "The kitchen knife is dangerous, I will be with you." He put one hand on the vegetables, and held the kitchen knife in the other, methodically cutting.

Smelling the clear scent of plum blossoms on his body, Yunlan's mind gradually settled down.

"So the lord knows how to cut vegetables." Yunlan looked at the chopped green vegetables, and remembered that the last time he was old, he took himself to a bamboo house and wanted to cook for himself, but he didn't even scrape the fish scales He also said that the parents of the body, hair and skin should give the fish a dignity.Can't help laughing.The nerves did not relax much.

"You!" Bailichen guessed what Yunlan was thinking, snorted softly, turned his handsome face away in embarrassment, but his fair face was slightly flushed, "This king is the same as you. I ordered a noodle, and that was when the concubine was still there."

"Your mother and concubine must be a very gentle person." Yun Lan felt his hand pause slightly, and couldn't help but raise her head, but saw that he also looked down at herself, his eyes full of unstoppable affection.

"Yes." Suddenly, Bailichen raised the hand holding Cai and covered her eyes so that Yunlan could not see a trace of sadness flashing in his long and narrow phoenix eyes, "She is very gentle and beautiful .”

Although Yunlan's eyes were dark, he could feel the depression in Bailichen's heart. He should also miss his mother and concubine very much. The prince of the previous dynasty and the current Ninth Prince must have suffered behind him, which is difficult for ordinary people to accept. Bitterness is.

"However, the king has long forgotten what the mother concubine looks like, and now it's just a vague outline." Feeling the eyelashes in his palms gently brushing against himself, Bailichen put down his hands and hugged her with his head down. She whispered next to her ear, "Now, doesn't this king have you?"

He was clearly looking for an opportunity to take advantage of him, Yunlan glanced at him from the corner of his eye, but he didn't say anything.

"Then can the lord know... fried eggs?" Yun Lan asked in embarrassment.

"That's natural." Bailichen said, then let go of Yunlan, let her pay attention to the fire, then took two or three eggs, knocked them lightly, and fried them calmly.

Yunlan looked at the place where the fire was lit, and saw that the fire was weak, so she added two pieces of firewood into it, and when everything was in place, she raised her eyes to look at Bailichen.

Even in a place like the kitchen, Bailichen's innate aura was unmatched by ordinary people.
"Little princess, do you think this king is getting more and more handsome?" Bailichen suddenly raised his eyes, his long and narrow phoenix eyes were full of playfulness, which made Yunlan's face blush and her heart beat, and she lowered her head subconsciously.

"Little thing." But he came over, stretched out his slender and fair fingers and gently twisted Yunlan's chin, admiring her pretty face full of red clouds, and said seriously, "From now on, this king will never Will leave you, forgive me, okay?"

"I...you..." Yun Lan was stunned.

"You have my king in your heart." He said with certainty, although his movements were gentle, he never flinched at Yun Lan. Yun Lan could see seriousness from his long and narrow phoenix eyes, the wall surrounding his heart , is collapsing bit by bit, "This king will always be by your side, little thing, this king promises that you will always be a couple forever.

After everything is over, you are no longer the eldest lady of the Yun family, and this king is not the Ninth Prince of Beicang Kingdom. We went to a place where no one knew us, and lived a simple life like ordinary people. You But willing? "

"Ordinary people? Rough tea and light food?" Yunlan murmured to himself, looking at his handsome face full of sincerity, his heart was full of bitterness. Can they really stay away from these ordinary things and live an ordinary life?

However, he made her have to believe him like that.

She doesn't know what will happen in the future, but, "Work at sunrise and rest at sunset, you are not allowed to go back on what you promised me, even if you are the Ninth Prince." There is no doubt that the Queen Mother is not telling her. Learn to cherish the person in front of you, and don't wait until the person is gone to regret it.

"Naturally, a gentleman is as fast as he says." Bailichen's whole body was trembling with joy.

"But..." Yunlan glanced at Bailichen hesitantly, causing Bailichen's whole heart to lift up. Could it be that this little thing has repented? If that's the case, he will definitely beat her hard Don, absolutely not allow her to go back on her word.

Seeing his frightened expression, Yun Lan pointed at the pot with her little finger and said, "My lord... the egg is probably burnt."

"Ah?" Bailichen obviously didn't expect Yunlan to talk about eggs, he was stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he looked at the eggs in the pot. A blush of embarrassment flashed across his face again, he giggled twice, and threw the burnt black egg aside.

The little things agreed to him, so what to do with it.

Seeing this, Yunlan smiled slightly, it turned out that this is the taste of happiness.

This time, Bailichen never went to see Yunlan again, and only fried the eggs with peace of mind. Soon, two golden eggs were placed in the bowl. Yunlan went over, and under Bailichen's careful guidance, The bowl of green vegetable and egg noodles was also very comfortable to cook, and soon, he returned to the Compassion Palace with the noodles.

-

"Lan'er, you're back." The queen mother didn't fall asleep this time, she just leaned quietly on the cushion and looked out the door, as if she was waiting for Yunlan.

"Well, Empress Dowager Lan'er is back." Seeing that the Empress Dowager seemed to be in good spirits, Yunlan's smile became more and more cheerful. Then, holding a small spoon, she fed the Empress Dowager two sips of noodle soup to warm her up. Nuan Wei said softly, "Queen Mother, if you want to eat noodles in the future, can Lan'er cook it for you every day?"

"Well, well, Lan'er from the Ai family is really heart-warming. Ai family, I finally hurt you for nothing." The queen mother took a bite of the poached egg, pretending not to see the tears in Yun Lan's eyes, and said happily.

In her whole life, her only hope of living is to protect the Beicang Kingdom for the former emperor. Now that the Beicang Kingdom is prosperous, her heart has fallen.As far as worrying, there is only Yunlan in front of me.How can my body not understand, I am afraid that I will not be able to see the sun of tomorrow.

But seeing Yunlan and Bailichen's affectionate appearance, she also let go of her heart, Lan'er, no matter what happens in the future, Bailichen will definitely protect you, and Ai's family has no worries at all. You can go to accompany the late emperor.

Yunlan's nose was slightly sour. Seeing the Queen Mother eating half a bowl of noodles, she felt even more sad. She tried her best to control herself, not to let tears fall, and said with a smile, "Queen Mother, you must hurry up, The Ninth Prince bullied Lan'er so much at the wedding banquet that day, and Lan'er wanted you to help bully him back after you got better. Queen Mother, Lan'er hasn't served you tea or kowtowed for you. You... take a bite and get better."

"Okay, okay, you girl will feel bad when the time comes." The Queen Mother jokingly said, Yun Lan was raised by her and watched her grow up, could she not understand her temperament, although the child's temperament is a bit colder, But if she treats her well, she treats everyone better.

"Queen, Lan'er won't listen to you laughing like that." Yun Lan bit her lip hard, and then laughed too.

"Okay, okay, this old lady from the Ai family doesn't laugh at Lan'er." The queen mother looked at Bailichen who had been standing silently with a face full of relief.He has his temperament and looks very similar, but in this life, they are not destined. If there is an afterlife, she also hopes to be a couple for the rest of her life. Perhaps, she is trying so hard to want Yunlan to marry him, but she also wants to accomplish it. That regret of mine.

-

The Queen Mother left after dinner, she walked very peacefully, with a slight smile on her lips.

When Yunlan heard the news and arrived, the queen mother was wearing a bright red dragon and phoenix wedding dress with exquisite makeup, unlike the dim yellow she had just seen over there.She seemed to be sitting gracefully on the bed, like a shy bride waiting for her groom to come in.

Yunlan rushed over and hugged the queen mother, her body was already stiff, big tears fell down and wet the wedding dress, as if a very beautiful flower from the other side had bloomed.

Bailichen exhaled deeply, walked to Yunlan's side, stroked Yunlan's head to comfort him.

"The empress dowager must have gone to look for the first emperor, right?" She dressed herself so meticulously before she died, she must not want the first emperor to see her haggard side.

Bai Lichen was slightly taken aback, his thin lips parted slowly, "Silly girl..." Looking into her tear-filled eyes, he couldn't say anything.

It took a long time before he hugged her tightly, "The Queen Mother must be happy in her heart."

"Bailichen, is the Queen Mother just asleep, is she waking up..." Yunlan felt Bailichen's temperature on her back, and cried softly, her broken voice seemed to be suppressed desperately Usually, it makes people cry.

That was the first time Bailichen saw Yunlan cry so sadly, even that time at the wedding banquet, when she was so ruthlessly abandoned by him, she was very strong.

"Silly girl……"

Yunlan didn't know how long she cried holding the empress dowager's body, until the emperor rushed over, and then she let go, and the palace staff of Compassionate Ning Palace got busy all of a sudden, setting up the mourning hall.

Bai Lichen followed the emperor to discuss the matter, and Yun Lan leaned blankly in the empress dowager's bedroom, looking at the bright moon coming out of the sky, shedding tears.

"Miss Yun." Suddenly, Gui Xiang's voice came from behind.

Yunlan turned her head when she heard the sound, and saw Guixiang's eyes were red, and her face was full of sadness, she was fixedly looking at her, her eyes were extremely deep.

"Miss Yun..." Seeing Yunlan's eyes dimmed, a slight smile flashed on the corners of Guixiang's lips, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, "The empress dowager's mourning hall for the old man has been properly arranged, and the servants have searched many places but can't find it." Miss Yun, I thought that you must still be in the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Miss Yun, are you going to visit the Empress Dowager's mourning hall?"

"Sister Guixiang—" Yunlan came back to her senses, feeling a little dazed, feeling that Guixiang seemed a little different, "Please lead the way."

Guixiang nodded, but tears flowed down without warning. She lay down on the table and began to cry bitterly, "The queen mother is always kind-hearted, so why did she just leave like this? The servant has served her for so long, why did the queen mother keep saying something?" Why don't you tell the slaves? How can the slaves live in the future?"

Seeing this, Yunlan thought it was because she had been crying for too long and had hallucinations, so she hurried over and comforted her, "Sister Guixiang, the queen mother is gone, I will plead with the emperor to allow you to leave the palace. Lan Ding will prepare a generous dowry for you and choose a good Xu for you, if the Queen Mother knows about it, she will feel at ease."

"Miss Yun, ever since the servant entered the palace, she never planned to leave the palace. The servant has been with the queen mother for the longest time, and the queen has left. Can Miss Yun ask the servant to pick something from the queen mother's jewelry box and keep it for the servant?" Thinking about..."
