For so many years, she hasn't made longevity noodles for her eldest son. She wonders if her eldest son will think it's too late when he sees her?

If the Crown Princess hadn't encouraged her, she wouldn't have had the courage to come in.

Seeing Xiao Jinyan sitting in front of the desk, his serious look reminded her of the emperor when he was young.

Speaking of which, the eldest son is somewhat like the emperor in his features, as well as his way of doing things.

The only difference is how we handle emotions.

In a flash, she came to the desk and the queen placed the longevity noodles on the desk.

Xiao Jinyan glanced at the longevity noodles in front of him and found that they were a little different from previous years.

He raised his head in confusion and was stunned when he saw the queen.

Xiao Jinyan didn't expect to see his mother. He had never seen her on his birthday in all these years. Now that he saw her, he was a little at a loss.

After he realized what was happening, he stood up, walked around the chair, and greeted the queen, "Why are you here, mother?"

The queen took a look at the longevity noodles on the table and said, "Today is your birthday. I made longevity noodles for you. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

The Queen was also spoiled since she was a child and doesn't know how to cook.

She learned it in order to make longevity noodles for the emperor. After her eldest son was born, she also made longevity noodles for him on his birthday.

She hasn't done it for her eldest son since he went to Nanzhao Kingdom.

I wonder if he still likes it? Xiao Jinyan looked at the longevity noodles on the desk. The bowl was still steaming, so it must have just come out of the pot.

When he was in Nanzhao Kingdom, what he missed most was the longevity noodles prepared by his mother herself, but he couldn't eat it.

He thought he could eat the longevity noodles made by his mother when he returned to Daxia. However, on his birthday, he waited a whole night, but his mother did not make the longevity noodles, not even a simple blessing from her.

When I saw my mother celebrating my younger brother’s birthday and cooking the longevity noodles he had always wanted to eat, I really envied him at that moment.

It also let him know that after leaving Da Xia for so many years, his mother had long forgotten his birthday.

He thought he would never be able to eat the longevity noodles made by his mother in his lifetime, but he didn't expect to eat it today.

Xiao Jinyan raised his head and looked at his mother. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, "How come mother remembers my son's birthday?"

The queen felt a little uncomfortable, and she didn't dare to look her eldest son in the eye. It was not because she felt guilty, but because she felt guilty. She felt that she was not a qualified mother because she had ignored her eldest son's feelings over the years.

"My mother has always remembered your birthday. During the years you were in Nanzhao, every time it was your birthday, my mother would prepare longevity noodles for you."

Xiao Jinyan was a little surprised. If he didn't know his mother's temperament, he would think that she was lying to him.

To ease the embarrassment, the queen reminded: "Eat the noodles first, they won't taste good if they get cold."

"Hmm." Xiao Jinyan sat down on the chair and looked at the longevity noodles that were still steaming with two poached eggs on them. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up the noodles, brought them to his mouth and blew on them before putting them into his mouth and eating.

The taste is the same as when I was a kid.

The queen watched with her own eyes as her eldest son finished a bowl of longevity noodles, leaving not even a drop of noodle soup. She suddenly felt as if she was back to the time when her son was a child, when she cooked a small bowl of longevity noodles and he finished it all.

She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she picked up the empty bowl and said gently, "I'll take the bowl away. You continue to review the memorials."

Xiao Jinyan stood up and bowed, "I respectfully send you off, mother."

The queen walked out of the study with an empty bowl in her hand. Her heart was beating so fast and she was so nervous that she didn't know what to say.

Feng Wuyou had been waiting outside. When she saw the queen coming out, she came forward and asked, "Mother, how is it?"

The Queen was a little excited. "He ate it all. I thought..."

She thought her son would definitely question why she treated him like this all these years, why she didn't celebrate his birthday or cook longevity noodles for him, why...

She discovered that although her eldest son's temperament had changed greatly, it was only on the surface that he had changed. In his heart, he was still the same sensible and smart man who cared about others.

Her son did not hate her as she imagined.

On the contrary, in order to hide her guilt, she has been unwilling to communicate with her son over the years. It's not that she doesn't want to, but she doesn't know how to communicate.

How can I make up for the maternal love that my son has been missing for all these years.

Feng Wuyou didn’t know about the Queen’s complicated psychology, nor did she understand it because she had never experienced it, or maybe it was because of her personality.

However, this was already a good start, as Xiao Jinyan ate the longevity noodles cooked by the Queen herself.

The reason she proposed this was because it was the first year that Xiao Jinyan came to Nanzhao Kingdom.

It was very cold that day, so Daddy made her wear a red cotton coat.

She chased a snowball out to play and saw a person squatting under the corner of the wall.

Xiao Jinyan was very silent at that time. No matter what she said or asked, he didn't say a word.

He just stared at her with his beautiful phoenix eyes.

Later, after getting to know him, I learned that it was his birthday that day and he wanted to eat the longevity noodles made by my mother.

Unfortunately, she was still very young at that time and didn’t know how to cook longevity noodles.

After the queen went back, Feng Wuyou took a look at the study before returning to the Hehuan Palace.

When it was late at night and Feng Wuyou was feeling sleepy, he saw Xiao Jinyan walking in wearing Yueshuang.

"I'll go take a shower first." Xiao Jinyan said. He felt cold. Xiao Jiu was afraid of the cold, so he didn't go directly to the bed.

Feng Wuyou responded, holding the hot water bottle, waiting for Xiao Jinyan to take a bath and go to bed.

When Xiao Jinyan came out of the shower, he saw Xiaojiu lying on the bed with only a pitch-black head showing. He walked over with a smile, and under her gaze, he lifted the quilt and lay down.

As soon as he lay down, Xiaojiu's petite body snuggled into his arms, "Your body is so warm."

When winter comes, Xiaojiu loves to snuggle in his arms and put his feet between his legs.

Xiao Jinyan hugged her in his arms and looked at her with a smile, "You know that mother will make longevity noodles for me today."

Xiao Jinyan used an affirmative sentence.

Feng Wuyou raised her little face and said with a smile: "Are you happy?"

Xiao Jinyan did not hide his feelings at the moment.

"I'm glad. I haven't eaten it for fifteen years, and it still tastes like when I was a kid."

Feng Wuyou said, "My mother asked me a few days ago what we should prepare for your birthday. She also said that it would be too casual to just prepare longevity noodles. My mother was also very nervous."

Xiao Jinyan said: "This is already very good."

Feng Wuyou put her arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek, "Happy birthday, Jinyan."

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at her, "No birthday present?"

Every year on his birthday, he looks forward to the birthday gift that Xiaojiu prepares for him.

"Of course." Feng Wuyou turned around, took out a painting from behind and handed it to Xiao Jinyan, "Here's your birthday present."

Xiao Jinyan looked at the thing in her hand curiously, guessing it was a painting, and was even more curious about what the painting was about? Every time she painted a painting, he would be amazed and want to keep it for himself.

He couldn't wait to take the painting, then slowly opened it, and the content of the painting gradually appeared before him.

There are two children in the painting, one big and one small.

The boy was wearing a dark robe and standing under the tree looking at the girl.

When Xiao Jinyan saw this scene, he immediately remembered that this was his ninth birthday. Xiaojiu gave him a string of candied haws. She said that she didn’t know how to cook longevity noodles, so she used candied haws instead.

However, at that time, in order to satisfy his desire to eat longevity noodles, Xiaojiu asked the imperial kitchen to make a bowl of longevity noodles.

Xiaojiu is Princess Jiuyou, and whatever she wants is just a matter of her words.

Although the longevity noodles were not cooked by his mother herself, he was still very happy.

Xiao Jinyan looked at Xiao Jiu excitedly, "I want to keep this painting well."

Feng Wuyou smiled and said, "It's for you to collect."

* At this time, on the carriage.

Jun Moqing followed Feng Qingyan for more than half a month. During this time, he learned about her identity and the reason why she said she could not get married and have children.

She is the saint of the Ula tribe, and a saint needs to remain a virgin during her reign.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Without the toad blood, you cannot become a saint.

If a saint has sex with a man during her time as a saint, it will bring bad luck to the Ula people.

Jun Moqing found it a little funny. It was clearly superstition. Putting shackles on the saint would be blamed on her if anything happened.

Along the way, Feng Qingyan witnessed Jun Moqing's thoughtfulness, which was in stark contrast to his appearance.

During this period of time, Jun Moqing did not do anything excessive.

However, I would hug her and occasionally kiss her in the lonely night.

Apart from that, there was no excessive behavior.

Jun Moqing is still a very upright gentleman, she is very sure of this.

The Ula people are an ancient ethnic group located in the Changyan Mountain area.

The carriage stopped beside a pavilion. Feng Qingyan pushed the carriage open and jumped off swiftly. She looked at the familiar mountains. It felt like she had been out for a while.

“We’re finally here.”

Jun Moqing got off the carriage and came to her side. Looking at the mountains in front of him, he asked her, "Is it convenient for you to live in the mountains?"

Feng Qingyan curled her lips and smiled: "Then you don't know, although the Wula tribe lives in the mountains, it doesn't mean they are poor. Some of the food and supplies are grown by themselves, and some are bought at the market. There are several ways to go to the market, so they don't have to worry about food and drink anyway."

Jun Moqing thought they lived in a remote area.

"I see."

"Let's go. I'll take you to meet my mother-in-law." Feng Qingyan took Jun Moqing and walked up the mountain.

Jun Moqing followed slowly behind. In the past, he knew too little about her.

After walking about two miles, we saw a bamboo house. It was obvious that it was quite old.

Feng Qingyan pushed open the gate and walked in. She saw a figure sitting on a bench in the yard, bending over and picking some vegetables. She called out, "Grandma, I'm back."

The old lady called mother-in-law paused and looked back. She was a little surprised to see Feng Qingyan.

"Why are you back so early? Didn't you say you wanted to play for a few more days?"

As soon as the mother-in-law finished speaking, she saw the man behind Feng Qingyan, and her face changed, "Why did you bring a strange man back? Have you forgotten the rules of the clan?"

Feng Qingyan glanced at Jun Moqing, stepped forward and took her mother-in-law's arm, and said, "Mother-in-law, I have something to ask you."

The mother-in-law glanced at the man and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

Feng Qingyan didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Mother-in-law, I went out once before, right? And the chastity seal is gone, you replaced it later, right?"

Upon hearing this, the mother-in-law immediately scolded with a stern face: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Feng Qingyan continued, "Mother-in-law, I am no longer a saint. For so many years, I have always fulfilled my duties. Do you still want to hide this from me?"

The mother-in-law still had a cold face, "I don't know what you are talking about. You just went out for a while, and you came back talking nonsense. You brought a man with you. I think you were deceived by a man."

Jun Moqing took two steps forward and looked down at his white-haired mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, Feng'er is my wife. We have a daughter who is twenty years old this year. Twenty years ago, you should have taken Feng'er away, right?"

The mother-in-law sneered: "What nonsense are you talking about? How old are you? Are you trying to trick Ah Yan?"

Jun Moqing replied calmly: "I am forty-two this year. I was twenty-one when I met Feng'er."

The mother-in-law showed an expression of disbelief and looked at Feng Qingyan, as if to verify, "Ayan, is he really forty-two?"

Feng Qingyan nodded, "Mother-in-law, he is indeed 42 years old, and has a daughter who is 20 years old. I saw it with my own eyes."

The mother-in-law looked Jun Moqing up and down, "Then who are you?"

Jun Moqing said: "I am the Master of Xuanmen."

Xuanmen Master is Jun Moqing’s other identity, and almost few people know about his identity as National Master.

In the eyes of the world, the Xuanmen Master and the National Master are two different people, both of whom are very powerful and mysterious.

Feng Qingyan was stunned when she heard this. During the days she had met Jun Moqing, she had never asked him about his identity. She only knew that he was a very powerful person.

Didn't expect that he was actually the Xuanmen Master? He had always been a mysterious figure in legends, but she had actually met the real person? The mother-in-law was also shocked for a long time, "The Xuanmen Master is so young?"

Jun Moqing: "Mother-in-law, you are too kind."

Feng Qingyan: "..."

Mother-in-law: “…”

At the table, the mother-in-law brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for each of them.

The teacup is made of bamboo and the surface is polished and very smooth.

Feng Qingyan held the teacup and continued to ask: "Mother-in-law, did I really give birth to a child? Is the toad blood on my arm fake?"

The mother-in-law sighed. She had kept the secret in her heart for so many years, but she didn't expect that Feng Qingyan would discover it.

What she didn't expect was that Feng Qingyan would meet the man from the past when she went out.

In fact, my mother-in-law has never seen that man.

Back then, Feng Qingyan was only fifteen years old when she was chosen as the successor to the Saint. She suddenly disappeared at the age of sixteen. The Saint's succession ceremony was imminent and there could be no delay.

When Feng Qingyan was found, she had already given birth to a child.

It is a big deal if the saint's heir gives birth to a child, and she will be locked up in Snake Mountain to feed the snakes.

Moreover, the saints were selected through layers of selection a year in advance, and it would be too late to select them at the last minute.

Even if Feng Qingyan wasn't brought back with her, if she was found by other members of the tribe, she would probably end up being fed to snakes.

At that time, the mother-in-law took Feng Qingyan back to Chang Yanshan regardless of her wishes.

In order to prevent the elders of the tribe from finding out that Feng Qingyan had given birth to a child, they had to have her acupuncture needles drawn again.

Good night spicy!
