Chapter 69: Cooking Noodles



Ye Xinran was unwilling and reluctant, so in front of Gu Yanming, she put back the kitchen supplies, a warehouse of food, a warehouse of weapons, and a warehouse of herbs that she had taken away before. After struggling for a long time, she finally put back the silver.

This time it was really all in vain!

Ye Xinran was not feeling well at all. She looked depressed.

Seeing her like this, Gu Yanming thought she was hungry and went up to comfort her.

"Princess, are you hungry? Let me cook noodles for you!"

Ye Xinran raised her eyebrows. This noble prince could cook noodles? Why did she not believe it?

Gu Yanming saw the suspicion in her eyes and coughed lightly, "In addition to cooking noodles, I can actually do a lot more, but the princess doesn't know it! The princess can get to know me better!"

"Then I'll trouble you, Your Majesty!" Ye Xinran thought. Who would want to eat dry food when there is hot noodles? However, she only exchanged so many supplies for a bowl of noodles. It was a big loss!

Ye Xinran did nothing else but sit at the kitchen door and wait for food. She lazily looked at the sunset in the sky, and soon she fell asleep.

When Gu Yanming was holding a bowl of slightly mushy noodles with a grim look on his face, he saw his princess sleeping against the wall, with dark shadows under her eyes and her brows slightly furrowed.

He felt a little distressed. She hadn't slept all night last night, accompanying him over mountains and across rivers, encountering dangers several times, and saving people everywhere. She was just a weak woman! She was hungry, had no food, and was so tired that she fell asleep.

Gu Yanming felt ashamed. How could anyone have a daughter-in-law as capable as her, and as hardworking as her?

Gu Yanming looked at the noodles in his hand, which he had cooked with great effort but tasted indescribable, and threw them aside. His princess deserved the best, how could she eat such things!

He gently walked forward and picked up Ye Xinran.

Ye Xinran was startled and opened her eyes instantly.

"It's me, go to sleep! It's safe!" Gu Yanming comforted softly.

Ye Xinran blinked and asked dazedly, "Where are the noodles?"

Gu Yanming said guiltily, "It will be fine in a while. Go to sleep first and eat after you wake up!"

Ye Xinran hummed, found a comfortable position in Gu Yanming's arms, and fell asleep again.

Gu Yanming's eyes softened. He suddenly called out, "Xu Sheng!"

A dark figure appeared behind the two of them and clasped his fists.

"I'm here!"

If Ye Xinran saw this at this time, she would definitely find that this person was actually the "father" in the story of selling oneself to bury the father. He was also the leader of the secret guards of the palace. He came here with Wen Chao and the others. He had been hiding in the dark.

"Can you cook?" Gu Yanming asked.

Xu Sheng was startled. He twitched his lips and whispered, "I only know how to cook noodles!"

In an instant, the air became eerily quiet!

After a while, Gu Yanming finally arrived, "Go ask those people who can cook! Not the ones who can only cook noodles! We need the ones who can cook!"

"Yes!" Xu Sheng flew away quickly! It felt like he was running away!

Gu Yanming found a room next to the kitchen, probably where the cook lived. He tidied it up, put Ye Xinran on it and made her lie down. He also lay down beside her.

Soon, Lan Ying's voice was heard outside the window.

"Master! I can cook. Do you need me to do it now?"

Gu Yanming thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do it! Keep it warm in the pot when it's done, and use it when the princess wakes up!"

"yes!"

There was no more sound outside.

Ye Xinran slept soundly this time, probably the best time since she came to this world. At first, she had to protect Gu Yanming's family, and then she had to practice martial arts every night. But this time, she fell asleep directly because she was tired.

She woke up and just moved a little, which startled Gu Yanming who was standing beside her.

"Princess, you're awake! Are you hungry?" Gu Yanming said gently.

Ye Xinran nodded. She was hungry! She hadn't eaten for several meals!

"Where are the noodles you cooked for me?"

Gu Yanming froze, feeling embarrassed, "Lan Ying cooked the meal, so we won't eat noodles!"

"Well, that's fine!" Ye Xinran knew that the current environment was special and it was impossible for her to be picky.

The two of them simply washed up and it was already morning.

Lan Ying brought the prepared meal up. It was four dishes and one soup. Stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried beans, stir-fried wild vegetables, scrambled eggs, a white radish soup, and white steamed buns.

In this context, it was delicious.

Ye Xinran took a bite and praised it sincerely with a smile.

"Lan Ying, you are amazing! Such delicious dishes can be made in a place like this! Whoever marries you in the future will be blessed!"

Lan Ying lowered her head in embarrassment, "Thank you for the compliment, Princess."

Wen Chao just happened to arrive and saw Lan Ying was there too. He pretended to be calm and walked up to Gu Yanming and said.

"Master, our people have arrived! We can reorganize these soldiers today. Those who want to return home have been separated. Those who refuse to cooperate have been taken to the Crocodile River. Master, do you want to go over and take a look?"

Gu Yanming turned his head to look at Ye Xinran.

Ye Xinran narrowed her eyes and said, "Look, of course I have to look!"

She wanted to see with her own eyes how these evil people knelt down and begged for mercy, but were powerless to do anything. In the end, they died with fear and regret!

Gu Yanming nodded. He said to Wen Chao, "You go down and make arrangements first. The princess and I will go after we have something to eat!"

Wen Chao nodded and saluted. Before leaving, he looked at Lan Ying again and then strode away.

These two must be having an affair! Ye Xinran narrowed her eyes.

"Lan Ying! How's things going over there? How many people have you captured?" Gu Yanming asked.

"My Lord! We have captured thirteen people, but there are still two uncertain ones. I need you to go and check them out yourself."

"Okay, let's go and take a look after we go to the Crocodile River!" Gu Yanming said.
