Xue Lingyun ran to the kitchen, this point is the cleanest, Yun Mo is the best person to Xue Lingyun in this palace. Every time she was sent to work, she would secretly set aside a copy for her when she couldn't eat. She said that seeing Xue Lingyun was like seeing herself at that time, and she inexplicably felt a sense of intimacy.

"What's the best thing to eat today?" Xue Lingyun was coquettish to the clouds. The kitchen where their subordinates eat is naturally incomparable to that of the master.

"Where are you going to work again?" Yun Mo smiled with his eyebrows and eyes, and his crow's feet looked much kinder.

"Yilan Temple." Listening to Xue Lingyun spit out these three words, Yun Mo was stunned to chop vegetables.

"What's wrong with you?" Xue Lingyun felt that something was wrong with the clouds.

"Oh, nothing. Didn't run into any trouble, did you? Yun Mo's eyes were a little evasive, and Xue Lingyun didn't care.

"No, I'm just hungry." Xue Lingyun grinned.

"I've prepared it for you a long time ago, and under that cabinet, there are still snacks today." Yun Mo replied to Xue Lingyun as usual.

"Thank you." Xue Lingyun ran out after wrapping the small cloth bag.

The palace is really very large, and the distance between these two points, Xue Lingyun has walked for more than half an hour. When she returned, the man was gone.

"Hey, are you still there? Still not there? Xue Lingyun shouted as she walked, but no one answered her. Am I dreaming? Xue Lingyun shook his head. She took out the snack in her cloth pocket and ate a piece, it was delicious. But for her at this time, she was a little unsavory.

"I've put a snack here, if you're here, remember to eat it." Xue Lingyun put the small cloth pocket on the altar by the well. Fetched water, returned to the front hall and continued to work. Xuanyuan Yihan looked at Xue Lingyun's departing back and jumped down from the peach blossom tree.

He opened the small cloth bag, and there were five osmanthus cakes in it, which were not made of very good materials. Xuanyuan Yihan took a piece and put it in his mouth, it melted in his mouth, and it was very good. He hadn't eaten any rice noodles for four years. The palace trapped him like a big cage, and he felt that he had been abandoned by the world.

When Xue Lingyun came back again, the cloth pocket was still there. The pastry inside was gone, and Xue Lingyun was very happy because she knew that she was not mistaken. The man's eyes were so distressing.

Since then, Xue Lingyun has always taken the delicious food from Yun Mo. Divide half and put it on the side of the well. I don't know why every time I look at the empty bag. Xue Lingyun would be very happy, even if he never saw the man that day again.

In the blink of an eye, spring goes to winter and spring begins. On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Xue Lingyun came here again. Today she was different from usual, with a faint sadness on her body. She looked at the moon in the sky, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Last year, my mother and sister were still around. I don't know if my mother's hand has cracked this year. Has my sister grown taller, and does Daddy continue to drink and gamble. Xue Lingyun muttered. She was most afraid that her father would sell her sister too. If it weren't for the bitter begging to enter the palace and become a palace maid, I am afraid that I would have been in the land of fireworks by now. A handkerchief fell on Xue Lingyun's head, and she looked up to see a pair of smiling eyes. Xue Lingyun wiped a handful of tears indiscriminately.

"It's you." Without a trace of surprise, Xue Lingyun continued to sit in place. There was no snow on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, but it was still very cold, and the whole peach forest was bare.

"What are you doing sitting here alone on a big night? Homesick? The man's voice was as warm as jade, and it was very nice. He lifted his robe and sat down next to Xue Lingyun.

"Hmm." Xue Lingyun was stunned for a moment and nodded. "Have you been here all the time?"

"Well, sort of." The man smiled wryly, and the sadness returned.

"You've eaten so much of me, we're friends, aren't we? My name is Xue Lingyun, what's your name? Xue Lingyun asked, holding the handkerchief in his hand.

"Name? My name will only bring bad luck to others, or it's better not to know. Xuanyuan Yihan smiled self-deprecatingly, he didn't know why he was in this world.

"Then I'll call you Chinese New Year's Eve." Xue Lingyun smiled and casually said a name, today is officially Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Here's for you." Xuanyuan Yihan stuffed something in Xue Lingyun's hand.

"Food?" Xue Lingyun looked at the dry thing in his hand. Xuanyuan Yihan nodded at her. She picked up what she was holding and put it in her mouth, it was sweet and smelled of peaches.

"This is a dried peach?" Xue Lingyun was surprised, this was the first time she knew that peaches could be made into dry food. Xuanyuan Yihan only smiled silently. Since Xue Lingyun finished cleaning the palace that time, Xuanyuan Yihan would see a petite figure every day, panting and coming here, putting food by the well. The next day, I always smile happily when I see the empty cloth pocket. Her appearance lit up Xuanyuan Yihan's life, warmed his long-sleeping heart, and made him feel that life still had something to look forward to.

"Chinese New Year's Eve, why did you take so long to come out to see me?" Xue Lingyun said to Xuanyuan Yihan while eating dried peaches.

"I don't want to see anyone." Xuanyuan also said lonely. "But today, I want to see you, we are all the same loneliness." Xuanyuan Yihan looked at Xue Lingyun's little face that was blown red by the wind. His clothes were worn out by frequent washing, but they were very clean and tidy.

"No, you and I will become us, and we won't be lonely anymore." Xue Lingyun grinned, she has always been optimistic and sunny.

"For the first time, I knew that arithmetic could still be counted like this." Xuanyuan Yihan looked very good when he smiled, this time he was not a bitter smile, nor was he self-deprecating, but a smile from the heart.

"Has anyone ever said that you look good when you laugh?" Xue Lingyun couldn't help but look at it with her cheeks on her back, she had never seen such a good-looking man with a smile.

"You're the first." Xuanyuan Yihan was still smiling like a spring breeze.

The sky was filled with brilliant fireworks, illuminating the entire palace, and at this moment, a magnificent banquet was being held in the hall of the palace. It's just that all this hustle and bustle has nothing to do with the two of them, and they are very happy at this time.

Since this day, the relationship between the two has suddenly become a lot closer, just like old friends for many years and a young couple in love. They will meet every day, watching the peach blossoms bloom and fall, and bear fruit. This year, they picked the peach petals with their own hands and asked Yun Mo to make peach paste. I picked peaches and made dried peaches.

"Lingyun, I have a gift for you." Xuanyuan Yihan put his hands behind his back and said to Xue Lingyun uncomfortably.

"A gift? What is it? Xue Lingyun was so happy that she even forgot that today was her birthday. No one has ever celebrated her birthday.

"Here you go." Xuanyuan Yihan stuffed the things in his hand to Xue Lingyun.

Xue Lingyun spread out her palm, and a wooden necklace with a black rope was lying quietly on her palm. The heart-shaped pendant is engraved with a delicate cloud character. (To be continued......)
