Chapter 965: Chapter 632: The Empress’s Worries, A Bowl of Longevity Noodles is Enough to Satisfy_3

Feng Wuyou said with a smile, "I was just thinking about what you looked like as a child, with that cold face, silently watching me."

Xiao Jinyan also smiled. "I was afraid you were here to tease me too."

Feng Wuyou couldn’t help but laugh out loud. "And here I thought you didn’t like to play with me."

"So, you came to my bed at night with food and pretended to sleepwalk? And the next day, you acted as if you didn’t know anything about it?"

"That way, you wouldn’t refuse." Feng Wuyou defended her actions with conviction.

Xiao Jinyan embraced her, "Xiao Jiu, I am very happy too."

Feng Wuyou yawned, "It’s getting late; you should sleep early."

No sooner had Feng Wuyou gotten down than Xiao Jinyan scooped her back into his arms, "With today being such a joyous day, shouldn’t we celebrate a bit?"

Feng Wuyou’s spirit returned, "Have some drinks and a midnight snack?"

Xiao Jinyan’s lips curled up, "Eat you."

Feng Wuyou: "..." She should have known, Xiao Jinyan’s tricks~

On his brother’s birthday, Xiao Jinyan prepared a birthday gift, planning to give it to him during the birthday banquet that evening.

Every year the Empress would prepare a birthday banquet for his brother, so he knew without asking.

When it was time to light the lamps, Xiao Jinyan put aside his official duties, instructed Liu Xi to bring the birthday gift, and then returned to Hehuan Hall.

Striding in, Xiao Jinyan saw Feng Wuyou on the bed and said, "Xiao Jiu, today is Yuyu’s birthday, let’s go to the birthday banquet."

"Okay." Feng Wuyou loved feasts, but she did not enjoy attending the yearly birthday banquet of Prince Jinyu.

Because every year, when she accompanied Xiao Jinyu, it would not be five minutes before Xiao Jinyan would find an excuse to leave.

Of course, if her husband left, she, his wife, had to accompany him.

Not only did she have to accompany him, but she also had to prepare longevity noodles for him, taking joy in watching him eat it all up, even the soup, with not a drop left.

When the two arrived at the palace where the birthday had been held in past years, they discovered it was so quiet that only the whooshing of the wind outside could be heard.

Looking at the empty palace, Feng Wuyou was befuddled. Where was the birthday banquet?

She tugged at Xiao Jinyan’s sleeve and asked with confusion, "Your Highness, what’s going on here?"

Xiao Jinyan was also clueless, "Could they have changed the location?"

He ordered, "Liu Xi, go and ask around."

"At once." Liu Xi replied, and promptly left with quick steps.

When he returned, he was out of breath, "Your Highness, I just found out that this year, the Empress did not organize a birthday banquet for Prince Jinyu."

"How could that be? The Empress organizes a birthday banquet for Jinyu every year; there’s no reason not to have one this year. Could something have happened?"

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Jinyan strode towards Qiancheng Hall.

Feng Wuyou followed leisurely behind.

Upon reaching Qiancheng Hall, before entering, they could hear a conversation from inside.

"Ayan, it’s my birthday today, why don’t we try for a baby?"

"Eat first."

"Ayan, are you afraid?"

"Afraid of what?"

"You’re afraid of having children."

"..."

Standing at the doorway, Xiao Jinyan and Feng Wuyou exchanged glances, nodded at each other in unspoken agreement, and then, in unison, turned and walked away.

Before leaving, Xiao Jinyan instructed, "Liu Xi, hand over the birthday gift to Jinyu, tell him that I have already been here."

Liu Xi replied, "I understand."

After Xiao Jinyan and Feng Wuyou were a distance away, Liu Xi sighed. Inside, Prince Jinyu and his wife were engaging in some lovey-dovey talk; how could he interrupt?

But if he didn’t go in now, after they finished their dinner, they would probably be busy trying for a baby, and he definitely couldn’t interrupt then.

For the first time, Liu Xi found that delivering a birthday gift could be so difficult.

In the end, Liu Xi had no choice but to bite the bullet and have someone announce his arrival.

When Xiao Jinyu saw Liu Xi, he asked, "Where are my brother, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess?"

Liu Xi said with a smile, "They’ve just left, Your Highness. The Crown Prince instructed me to deliver the birthday gift to Prince Jinyu."

Xiao Jinyu expressed regret, "Why didn’t my brother come in to sit and have a few drinks before leaving?"

Liu Xi just smiled, "..." Your Highness also didn’t want to disturb you and the Concubine in your loving interactions, aiming to have a baby~

After delivering the birthday gift, Liu Xi quickly slipped away, fearing that he might interrupt Prince Jinyu and his wife in their tender moments~

After returning to the East Palace, Xiao Jinyan went to the Study Room.

In the Study Room, the lamps were brightly lit.

Xiao Jinyan sat at the desk, reviewing documents, with his mind, in fact, awaiting the moment Xiao Jiu would bring him longevity noodles.

It had been like this for years; no one mentioned it, but when evening came, the longevity noodles were always delivered on time.

Just then, the Study Room door opened from the outside.

Hearing the noise, Xiao Jinyan knew it was Xiao Jiu with the longevity noodles, and he continued to sit poised in his chair.

After the door opened and shut, the footsteps drew closer, and the aroma of the Egg Noodle Soup began to waft in.

Xiao Jinyan hadn’t eaten his evening meal in anticipation of the longevity noodles, and the scent made his hunger even more pronounced.
