He subconsciously walked in the direction of the rising smoke. Just as he reached the door, he saw the master and servant busy in the small kitchen.

Su Yun sat on a small stool behind the stove and started the fire. Song Li stood in front of the stove and skillfully pulled the noodles into strips.

Song Li had been pampered since she was young. After entering the palace, she was an extremely noble empress. How could she have the chance to cook personally? However, at this moment, her movements were fluid, as if she had repeated it countless times.

The water in the pot bubbled. Song Li looked up. “Su Yun, don’t add firewood first. ”

Halfway through her sentence, she paused and looked in the direction of the door. When she saw who it was, her eyes were filled with surprise. “Yu’er?”

Shangguan Yu came back to his senses and cupped his hands. He called out gently, “Mother.”

“Why are you here today?” After asking, she reached out to help Shangguan Yu up. When she noticed that her hands were covered in flour, she retracted them. Before he could speak, she continued, “But you came at the right time today.”

“Su Yun, bring His Highness to the house to sit first. I’ll be done soon,” she instructed.

“Yes.” Su Yun stood up with a smile and invited Shangguan Yu to the main hall. She poured him a glass of hot water. “Your Highness, drink some hot water to warm yourself up first.”

Shangguan Yu thanked her warmly and said casually, “Mother seems to be much better.”

“That’s right.” Su Yun smiled and nodded. She sighed. “Ever since the Song family was rehabilitated, Miss’s health has been improving day by day. In my opinion, when she’s in a good mood, her illness will naturally recover.”

Shangguan Yu’s eyes flickered. He picked up his tea and took a sip. “That’s good.”

Not long after, Song Li came in with a bowl of hot noodles with two eggs on it.

She placed the noodles in front of Shangguan Yu. Seeing his puzzled expression, her heart ached a little. “Today is your birthday. Have you forgotten again?”

“Your Highness, you don’t know, but Miss woke up early in the morning to work on this bowl of longevity noodles. I was just worried that the person serving you didn’t prepare it for you. I didn’t expect Your Highness to come to

Weiyang Palace. Isn’t it because mother and son are connected?” Su Yun teased.

“You talk too much,” Song Li rebuked. She stuffed the chopsticks into Shangguan Yu’s hand. “Quickly try Mother’s cooking and see if it has deteriorated.”

In the past, Song Li naturally did not know how to cook. However, Shangguan Yu wanted to eat the longevity noodles she made when he was young, so she promised to make them for him every year.

Noticing the red mark on the back of her hand, Shangguan Yu was adrift. He thought of something and secretly exerted strength in his grip on his chopsticks. He looked up at Song Li. “Mother, have you forgotten something?” Song Li did not react for a moment.

Shangguan Yu smiled and said, “Mother said that she has to eat longevity noodles with me every year.”

Song Li rebuked, “How old are you?”

Although she said that, she still asked Su Yun to get a set of cutlery.

She picked out a few noodles from Shangguan Yu’s bowl and urged, “Alright, eat quickly. It won’t taste good if it gets lumpy.”

Shangguan Yu smiled and picked up a poached egg and placed it in Song Li’s bowl. Then, he lowered his head and ate the noodles. He ate the bowl of noodles very cleanly, not leaving any gravy behind.

Song Li was happy, but she said, “Why are you still like when you were young?

Whether it’s delicious or not, you always eat everything.”

She remembered the first time she cooked longevity noodles. Little Shangguan Yu said that it was delicious and praised her, saying that his mother was too amazing.

She did not believe it. After tasting the rest of the pot, she realized that it was not cooked at all. That night, Little Shangguan Yu had a stomachache.

Song Li blamed herself. The little fellow lay on the bed and comforted her. “Mother’s longevity noodles are the best in the world. Yu’er had a stomachache because he ate the jelly beans given by Eunuch Liu from the imperial kitchen, so it has nothing to do with Mother.”

After saying that, perhaps afraid that she would punish the Eunuch surnamed Liu, he explained pitifully, “Yu’er asked him for the jelly beans. Mother, don’t blame him, okay?”

How could Song Li not tell that the little guy did not want her to feel guilty? Her heart softened. Naturally, she agreed.

Seeing that she was so easy to talk to, Little Shangguan Yu took the opportunity to suggest that he eat the longevity noodles cooked by his mother every year in the future.

Worried that this would happen again, Song Li got someone to start the fire in the small kitchen of Kunning Palace the next day. From time to time, she would take the time to practice inside.

She said that she wanted to eat with him because she was afraid that there would be another situation. Every time she finished cooking the noodles, she would taste them herself to make sure that there was no problem before daring to let him eat them..
