Xiao Xixi whispered to the emperor beside him, then stood up, left the hall accompanied by Bao Qin, and walked towards the clean room.

After solving the physiological needs, Xiao Xixi walked back with Baoqin.

At this time, the snow had stopped, but the temperature was still very low.

Baoqin held her arm and reminded in a low voice.

"The road is slippery, Niangniang walk slowly."

When the two passed the corridor, they saw a person standing in front of them.

Taking a closer look, it was Li Qingyan.

He was wearing a red round-neck official uniform with a leather belt around his waist, and his long body stood out, which was particularly conspicuous in this dark night.

Originally, he leaned obliquely on the mahogany pillar, which seemed a little sloppy and casual.

After hearing the footsteps, he immediately stood up straight and looked in the direction from which the footsteps came, his eyes just meeting Xiao Xixi's.

Both sides were startled.

Li Qingyan quickly came back to her senses and stepped forward to bow her hands.

"Wei Chen pays respects to the noble concubine."

Xiao Xixi was surprised: "Why are you here alone?"

Li Qingyan: "If half of them are here, I'm afraid to scare others."

Xiao Xixi: "..."

This guy is pretty skinny.

Li Qingyan had really drank a lot just now, and even if he came out and blew the cold wind for a while, his mind was still a little dull.

After realizing it, he realized that what he had just said was out of place.

The other party is a noble concubine, how could he play such a joke with her?

He hurriedly bowed his hands: "I'm sorry, Wei Chen just drank too much and spoke without thinking. I hope the imperial concubine will forgive you."

Even at a distance, Xiao Xixi could smell the alcohol on Li Qingyan's body.

Xiao Xixi saw the scene of Li Qingyan being persuaded to drink by everyone at the banquet just now. Seeing him standing here alone blowing the cold wind, he could probably guess that he was in a bad mood at this time.

"No need to apologize, this palace didn't take it to heart."

Li Qingyan was relieved: "My lady is magnanimous, and the minister is grateful."

Xiao Xixi walked forward with Baoqin.

Li Qingyan stepped back respectfully, lowered his eyes and lowered his head. In his field of vision, the skirt embroidered with red peony flowers dragged across the ground.

He really drank too much, and at this moment a poem suddenly appeared in his mind——

The red peony before the order today, a few flowers want to be old and a few new ones.

"Servant Li."

Li Qingyan raised her head subconsciously, and saw the imperial concubine standing not far away and looking back at him.

If it were changed to usual, Li Qingyan would definitely withdraw his gaze quickly and would not dare to look any further.

But at this time, under the influence of alcohol, his reaction was much slower than usual.

He looked at the imperial concubine blankly, not understanding why she suddenly called him.

Xiao Xixi said seriously, "Don't ask where the hero comes from."

Li Qingyan was stunned again.

When he came back to his senses, the figure of the imperial concubine had disappeared at the corner of the corridor.

He was alone in the cold night, not moving for a long time.

He came from a poor family, and was looked down upon by his colleagues from a wealthy family. He was often excluded from him on weekdays. In addition, his promotion speed was too fast, and many people hated him.

At the banquet just now, those people complimented him as if they were smearing honey. In fact, they were deliberately flattering him and trying to attract more hatred to him.

He knew that this kind of thing was inevitable, and he even comforted himself by saying that he was mediocre without being jealous.

But my heart is still a little unhappy.

The reason why he slipped out alone and stood here to blow the cold wind was on the one hand to clear his mind and on the other hand to avoid those unkind eyes.

He did not expect to meet the imperial concubine here, and he did not expect that the imperial concubine would comfort him.

Li Qingyan silently recollected the words that the concubine gave to him several times.

Heroes don't ask where they come from.

Since they are already heroes, why should they care about their origins? It's boring to think about these little things.

Li Qingyan thought about it, the haze in his heart gradually dissipated, and his mood became brighter.

He sorted out his official uniform and turned back to the main hall.

He sat down in his place and looked up at the emperor and concubine who were sitting on the top.

The imperial concubine is eating shrimp meat.

She put the shelled shrimps into her mouth one by one, and her cheeks were bulging. Because of the delicious food, her eyes also crooked with laughter.

The emperor seemed to be asking her what?

She nodded, then picked up a shrimp and handed it to the emperor's mouth.

The emperor opened his mouth, bit the shrimp, chewed it slowly, and kept his eyes on the imperial concubine.

This scene fell in the eyes of everyone present, and they only felt that the emperor really loved the imperial concubine.

Li Qingyan secretly regretted that the imperial concubine was a good person, but unfortunately the emperor only regarded her as a substitute, no matter how much the emperor favored her, it was only because of her similarities with Concubine Xiao.

In fact, both Concubine Xiao and Concubine Concubine are very good people.

However, fate made people, one died early, and the other could only be reduced to a substitute.

After the banquet was over, the guests went back to their homes.

The emperor and his concubine took a dragon carriage and returned to Yunxiu Palace.

As soon as the two entered the door, Xiao Xixi quickly took off his thick cloak, rolled up his sleeves, and said to the emperor.

"Wait, I'll cook longevity noodles for you."

Luo Qinghan said yes.

Xiao Xixi declined the help of others and insisted on making peace with herself.

She has a lot of strength, and the dough she kneads is particularly strong.

The so-called longevity noodles, naturally want to stretch the noodles long, the longer the better.

Xiao Xixi took a lot of effort to pull out an extra-long noodle.

Under boiling water, fry eggs in hot oil.

She cracked one egg into the hot oil before opening the other.

The two egg yolks are spaced apart so that they don't touch each other.

After it was cooked, she put the handmade double-yolk egg on the bottom of the bowl, then covered the noodle soup, blanched two small green vegetables, dripped a few drops of sesame oil, and a handful of green chopped green onion, and it was done!

Xiao Xixi put the longevity noodles on the tray, and also prepared two plates of side dishes, and brought them to Luo Qinghan to taste.

Luo Qinghan knew that she was going to cook noodles for herself at night, so she didn't eat much at the banquet, so she deliberately kept her stomach.

He picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and found that it was very long.

He raised his eyes to see Xixi looking at him expectantly, and understood that she deliberately stretched the noodles so long, implying longevity.

He lowered his head and took a bite.

Xiao Xixi couldn't wait to ask, "Is it delicious?"

Luo Qinghan chewed it slowly, and only after swallowing the noodles in his mouth did he make a serious comment.

"The noodles are strong, salty and light, and the taste is very fresh and delicious."

Xiao Xixi smiled with frowning eyes and reminded: "There are eggs below, don't forget to eat them."

Luo Qinghan flipped out the golden fried egg from under the noodles.

Xiao Xixi exaggeratedly sighed: "I just cracked the egg and found out that it is actually a double-yolked egg, look at you, you can eat a double-yolked egg as soon as you eat it, how lucky you are!"

Luo Qinghan looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile.

Xiao Xixi felt a little guilty by him.

"You, what do you see me doing? You eat yours."
