Chapter 50 Cook Noodles for Him

Shen Yu denied, "Of course not. It doesn't matter if there are no other people along the way. Now we need to be careful about our words and deeds in Beijing."

Xie Tingzhou: "When there is no one in the future, you should still shout as you should."

Shen Yu nodded, "Then I'll go find Tan."

"Um."

Xie Tingzhou watched him walk away, and the light of the lantern gradually dimmed. He turned around and walked back. After walking for a while, he heard familiar footsteps coming this way again.

He stood in the middle of the road without moving, waiting for the man to approach and ask, "Aren't you looking for charcoal?"

Shen Yu was startled by Xie Tingzhou who suddenly spoke in the darkness, "Why are you here?"

Xie Tingzhou pursed his thin lips slightly. He had asked this question twice tonight.

"I would like to ask you, why did you come here to find Tan?"

Shen Yu said awkwardly: "I haven't found the kitchen yet, the palace is too big."

She turned around and walked a few steps before looking back and asking in a flattering tone: "Your Highness, do you know where the kitchen is?"

Xie Tingzhou wanted to laugh a little, but he could bear His Highness asking for help.

"Let's go."

Shen Yu quickly followed and held a lantern for him.

It was too quiet at night, with only the sound of two people's footsteps.

"Why don't you go celebrate the New Year with them?"

Xie Tingzhou glanced at him sideways, "Why don't you go celebrate the New Year with them?"

Shen Yu: "Not familiar."

Xie Tingzhou: "I don't want to."

Shen Yu smiled and immediately stopped, "You're being arrogant, right?"

"I just don't want to, I'm used to being alone."

Shen Yu looked at him in surprise.

The two walked side by side, seemingly as before, chatting occasionally.

If Xie Tingzhou is in a good mood, he will reply to him. If he doesn't want to reply, he will not say anything.

After walking for a while, Shen Yu asked, "Why haven't you arrived at the kitchen yet?"

Xie Tingzhou was also stunned. They seemed to have been gone for a long time.

Shen Yu stopped and asked with a speechless face: "You can't find it, can you?"

Xie Tingzhou: "...forgot."

Shen Yu was speechless for a moment, "Then you didn't tell me earlier."

"forget."

God forgot.

If it had been anyone else, he would have been kicked to death by Shen Yu on the spot.

Growing up, Xie Tingzhou's total time spent in Shengjing was less than a year. Not to mention the kitchen, it was good to be able to remember where his yard was.

Xie Tingzhou was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and said, "Here comes someone."

You think you are calling the land father-in-law, he comes as soon as you call him, Shen Yu cursed.

The next moment, a dark figure fell from the tree and knelt on one knee, "Master."

Xie Tingzhou didn't feel the embarrassment of getting lost in his courtyard at all, and said calmly: "Go to the kitchen and lead the way."

With the secret guard leading the way, he arrived at the kitchen in a moment.

Today is New Year's Eve, and there is only one master in the entire palace, and he is still young. The cook and the handyman left after finishing dinner.

The kitchen was dark. Shen Yu used a lantern to find a candlestick and lit it. When she turned around, she realized that Xie Tingzhou and the secret guard hadn't left yet.

Shen Yu said: "Your Highness, please go back first, I will look for carbon myself."

Xie Tingzhou raised his hand and pointed. There were baskets of charcoal piled in the corner of the kitchen, just there.

"Oh, okay." Shen Yu walked over, found a small basket and started picking it up.

Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes slightly, and Shen Yu picked up the carbon slowly at first, but then started to pick it up, throwing it aside if the shape was not good-looking, and if the sound was not crisp enough.

Xie Tingzhou looked at it and couldn't help it, "Are you going to pick it up next year?"

Shen Yuxun glanced at him, picked up a piece of charcoal and weighed it, "I'll pick it up slowly. Your Highness can leave first."

The secret guard behind him felt the pressure released by Xie Tingzhou and immediately knelt down on one knee.

Xie Tingzhou breathed out, "Can you find a way back?"

Shen Yu was shocked that she had forgotten this.

"Why don't Your Highness leave the secret guard brother to me? I'll go back after picking up the carbon."

Xie Tingzhou didn't answer him, walked up to him and asked, "You're not here to find Tan, are you?"

Shen Yu looked up at him and whispered: "I...actually...didn't have dinner."

Not only dinner, but also lunch.

The news she found out today really made her unable to eat, but her body was still honest after all. When she was hungry, she could only look for food on the ground.

As if to prove that she was not lying, Shen Yu's stomach growled at the right time.

Xie Tingzhou couldn't laugh or cry, "So you came to the kitchen to eat secretly?"

Shen Yu nodded honestly, "I'm still growing."

"Indeed," Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes and looked at him, "It's time to grow taller."

Xie Tingzhou waved his hand, and the secret guard behind him disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Shen Yu was dumbfounded and fell into her old habit, "He is very good at qinggong. Can I learn from him?"

"generally."

Shen Yu made a sound.

In terms of Qinggong, the secret guard was really not as good as Xie Tingzhou, but he didn't say that.

After all, in Shigure's eyes, he was still a Beilin prince who couldn't lift his shoulders or lift his arms, and was too weak to take care of himself.

Shen Yu was already hungry and didn't bother to pretend. She stood up and asked, "You haven't eaten either? I'm going to cook a bowl of noodles. Do you want to eat it?"

As soon as the secret guard left, she stopped calling His Highness, and she felt it was awkward to do so.

Regardless of Xie Tingzhou not answering her, Shen Yu washed the black charcoal on her hands and started to make a fire.

There was a lot of excitement in the kitchen, and there was a ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong sound, which made the people on duty in the kitchen next door come to check, but were blocked by the secret guards.

Xie Tingzhou looked at him moving around, and the sound of pots and pans was irritated by him. He couldn't help but said: "Are you good at it? You won't let the cook come."

Shen Yu didn't even turn her head, "Don't talk if you only eat and don't do anything."

She was stunned after saying that.

At that moment, she thought it was Shen Zhao. Shen Zhao couldn't cook. In the past, the two of them had secretly gone to the kitchen to cook noodles in the middle of the night.

"It's burnt."

Shen Yu came back to her senses. One side of the fried egg in the pan was already black.

After working for a long time, two bowls of noodles were finally out of the pot.

Simple scallion noodles, green vegetables as the base, and an egg on top, this is the New Year's Eve dinner for the two.

Xie Tingzhou held the bowl with his eyebrows down, he didn't know why he didn't leave.

Maybe he was lonely for so many years and suddenly felt deserted.

Or maybe he was really hungry.

"If you don't eat it, I'll eat it." Shen Yu was so hungry that she stuffed several mouthfuls into her mouth before urging.

Xie Tingzhou tasted it. The noodles were chewy, the soup was rich, and the fragrance of green vegetables was mixed with the fragrance of scallions.

Shen Yu was so hungry that she didn't want to talk, she just wanted to fill her stomach.

The two of them finished their noodles in silence.

"Leave it there, someone will clean it up." Xie Tingzhou called out to Shen Yu who was about to wash the dishes, and went out first.

Such a night is still too quiet for New Year's Eve.

Shen Yu is very curious about Xie Tingzhou, and so is Xie Tingzhou.

He remembered what the secret guard reported today, and suddenly asked: "Do you know Shen Yu?"
