Your Majesty, I, Hong Zhuang, have finished writing (second update)

  "Aming, don't talk nonsense! The princess is a noble lady of high birth, while I am just a commoner. How can I possibly be mentioned in the same breath as her?"

  As soon as Su Heng heard Ah Ming's words, she immediately spoke up.

  But just as Su Ying finished speaking, a clear and crisp voice suddenly came from behind her.

  "Ah Ying ge, I didn't know you were here!"

  Hearing this familiar voice, Su Ying knew who it was even without turning her head.

  At this time, Ah Ming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and say with a playful tone.

  "And they say the princess has nothing to do with you, your good fortune is here!"

  A Ming finished speaking and then turned around and left, walking far away.

  She immediately crossed her arms over her chest, watching with a look of schadenfreude. Seeing this, Su Ying's mouth twitched involuntarily, but she was speechless.

  At this time, Su Ying turned her head and saw that the lovely figure of Ling had already walked behind her.

  Only the girl of this moment is seen, with only Yiner following beside her, completely unlike the grand appearance of a large crowd in the morning.

  She also changed into a simple and elegant pale yellow silk cheongsam.

  The style is currently the most trendy.

  Around his waist was a piece of top-grade sheep fat jade, and at a glance, you could tell it was extremely valuable.

  Also changed another hairstyle on her head.

  The rough braids look like they don't have any princess-like demeanor at all, but rather like a next-door little sister, warm and lovely!

  Seeing such a dressed-up Lingling, Su Ying couldn't help but take another look.

  Her face couldn't help but flush with a mixture of shyness and joy.

  Today, she was surrounded by people and went to the cafeteria, where everyone was talking about it.

  She also knew that if she were surrounded by a large crowd and went to find Ah Ying Ge, Ah Ying Ge would definitely feel uncomfortable, and so would she.

  She didn't want Ah Ying to feel uncomfortable, so she dismissed everyone and only brought along Ouyang. This way, they wouldn't draw too much attention, and it would also be more convenient for her to interact with Ah Ying.

  At this moment, looking at Su Ying's gaze constantly falling on herself, Lingling felt both shy and happy.

  Immediately, without hanging her head or lowering her eyelids, she walked to Su Ying's side and opened her mouth with a sweet smile.

  "Ah Ying Ge."

  "Princess, how did you end up here!? This is a martial arts training ground, the temperature is also high, your body is delicate, be careful not to get heatstroke."

  What you heard is true. Su Ying is telling the truth.

  However, her words made Lingling's heart bloom with joy and excitement.

  Good heavens! Brother Aq is now concerned about her!

  Thinking of this, Ling's heart felt sweet and delightful. Along with that delicate face, it was also tinged with a joyful expression, and then she opened her mouth and laughed.

  "Ayue Ge, I'm fine, my body isn't that weak! I know Ayue Ge practices here every day. Now the weather is so hot, I was afraid you would get heatstroke, so I immediately made a sour plum soup."

  Lingling turned her head and called out towards Yiner.

  "Sound."

  "Yes, Princess."

  Upon hearing the call, Yuner immediately walked over and opened the wooden box that had been held in her hand all along.

  All I saw was a large plate of sour plum soup inside this wooden box, with two bowls and spoons on top.

  When the wooden box was opened, a burst of icy cool air rushed out.

  Su Ying fixed her eyes on him and couldn't help but be taken aback for a moment.

  After all, what's inside the box isn't anything else, but ice cubes!

  At this, Su Ying's eyes suddenly lit up!

  After all, in this ancient era where everything is inferior to modern times, there's nothing at all.

  Especially on this sweltering summer day, this ice cube is even more luxurious!

  So when Su Ying saw the ice block, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately reached out to take out the ice block inside, playing with it in the palm of her hand.

  The chill from his palm made Su Ying's mouth curve up involuntarily.

  "Haha, so refreshing!"

  Jian Su Ying was playing with the ice cube, laughing with joy all over her face. Lingling couldn't help but smile along with her, and then she opened her mouth to say something.

  "Ayong, have a bowl of sour plum soup! It's really cool and refreshing."

  "Alright, okay."

  When Su Ying heard Ling's words, she looked at the big plate of sour plum soup and thought that even if she added her own voice to Ling's, it would still be too much for the three of them to finish. So, she decided to call Ah Ming over.

  After all, they are buddies, she has delicious food, how can she forget him!

  However, Su Ying had not yet beckoned A Ming to come over, but saw Yin'er pouring plum juice and handing it to her hand, and at the same time lowering her voice to whisper in her ear.

  "Su brothers, this is a sour plum soup made by the princess herself. After drinking it, no matter how the taste is, don't provoke the princess's anger."

  "Uh..."

  Upon hearing the sound, Su Ying's face involuntarily froze, and her heart surged with a sense of foreboding.

  Good heavens!

  She's now emotionally become a white mouse!?!

  And there is still an unspeakable sorrow of a white mouse!

  Thinking of this, Su Ying's scalp felt a chill run down it.

  When she saw Amin looking at her with a "you're so happy, he's so envious" expression from not far away, Su Ying was speechless.

  After receiving the sour plum soup handed over by Yuner, Su Ying felt that this sour plum soup was like a scalding lotus flower for a while, and she wanted to put it down but didn't want to offend Yun'er's kindness.

  Especially when the girl was looking at her with an extremely expectant expression, Su Ying couldn't bear to disappoint her good intentions, so she picked up the spoon and drank a mouthful with a hard scalp.

  After a refreshing entrance, various sweet, sour, bitter and spicy flavors spread throughout the mouth.

  She felt a complex and strange taste in her mouth, and Su Ying's first reaction was to spit it all out.

  However, in front of her was a delicate little face full of expectation.

  Looking at this delicate face, Su Ying forcibly swallowed all the hard-to-swallow flavors.

  "How is it, Brother Aying? Is it delicious?"

  Jian Su Ying took a sip of sour plum soup, and Ling Ling hurriedly asked, with an even more expectant and excited look on her face.

  Seeing the girl's expression, Su Ying felt that even if she thought the plum juice was too hard to swallow, she couldn't bear to say anything bad that would hurt the girl's heart.

  "Alright, okay."

  "Hehe, really?! Then Brother Aying should eat more! I made a lot of it! If Brother Aying likes to eat it, then he can have more. From now on, I'll make sour plum soup for Brother Aying every day, okay?!"

  Lingling was excited like a shot of chicken blood after hearing Su Ying's words.

  The little mouth opened and closed, chirping away like a happy little sparrow.

  However, in contrast to her joy, Su Ying felt a kind of dumb and bitter feeling that couldn't be expressed after hearing her words.

  "Uh, this, you'd better not do it again in the future."

  "Ah, why? You just said it was delicious! Are you deceiving me?"

  Lingling, who was originally excited, had a stunned look on her face after hearing Su Ying's words, and then spoke up.

  Su Ying heard this and her face turned red, she stuttered and couldn't speak clearly.

  "Uh, I didn't mean it like that, just, just..."

  For a moment, Su Ying didn't know what to say either.

  However, at this moment, a low and solemn voice suddenly came from behind them.

  "What are you doing?!"

  "Uh..."

  Upon hearing this familiar voice, everyone was taken aback and immediately turned their heads to look.

  Su Ying is no exception.

  When she turned around and saw that red figure standing not far behind her, she was taken aback.

  After coming back to his senses, he followed Yin'er and immediately paid respects to the man in red.

  "Good luck to you, Prince."

  "Alright, calm down."

  The man spoke up, his tone was also light and cloud-like.

  Lingling, who was standing beside him, seemed somewhat surprised when she saw the man appear.

  "Older brother, how did you end up here?"

  "What?! This is my territory, and I still can't come here?!"

  Upon hearing her words, the man merely raised an eyebrow and gave her a sidelong glance before speaking.

  She heard this and her pretty face immediately turned red, then she stomped her foot, looked embarrassed, and spoke up.

  "Older brother, it's not what I meant!"

  The young girl opened her mouth and coquettishly said, with a look that was shy and lovely, like a jasmine flower that had just bloomed, breathtakingly beautiful.

  This beautiful face is so touching that even if Su Ying saw it, she would be deeply moved and couldn't help but praise it.

  As expected, she's a beautiful woman, no matter how you look at her, she looks great.

  Su Ying thought to herself, her eyes falling on the red-clad man beside her again.

  My heart can't help but be amazed again.

  It's really true that they have a blood relationship; the best status and appearance in the world are all theirs.

  These two people, one a handsome man and the other a beautiful woman, are a pleasure to behold.

  Just as Su Ying was thinking about it in her heart, she found that the beauty was in front of her, but this man seemed to be completely indifferent.

  I don't know if he's too picky or what.

  Just as Su Ying was thinking about it, she saw the man's eyes suddenly fall on the sour plum soup in her hand.

  At this point, Su Ying didn't wait for anything and just listened as the man began to speak.

  "What is this?!"

  "Uh, this..."

  Su Ying had barely finished speaking when she saw Lingling beside her, who, after hearing the man's words, was excitedly promoting like a salesperson.

  "Older brother, this is the sour plum soup I made, you try some too! Just now Ah Jing said it's delicious!"

  "Uh..."

  When she heard Lingling's words, Su Ying couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

  She just couldn't bear to see her sad and said so out of kindness.

  But she didn't expect that big shots would appear.

  Now hearing such words, Su Ying was really afraid that important people would hear Ling's words and also taste a bowl.

  This taste is so bad, I don't know if the big shot will blame her after eating it, and then add another crime of deceiving the royal family, that would be terrible.

  Thinking of this, Su Ying didn't think much and opened her mouth to say.

  "Princess, wasn't this sour plum soup for me?! How can you give it to someone else?!"

  As soon as Su Ying spoke, the people around her were taken aback.

  Perhaps it was astonishing that Su Ying would say such a thing in front of the Fourth Prince!

  Su Ying also knew that her words had gone too far.

  Especially, she also noticed that the big shot's blood-red eyes were tightly fixed on her, and for a moment, it made her scalp numb...

  But, Your Highness, I'm all doing this for your own good!

  Otherwise, you'll get a stomachache and blame me for it!

  Su Ying's heart was screaming, but even under Wang Ye's scorching and inquiring gaze, she still maintained her composure.

  Beside her, Lingling saw this, although her face was surprised for a moment, but immediately, a sweet and joyful emotion rushed to her heart.

  Good heavens!

  It turns out that A Jie Ge is so concerned about the things she does for him, doesn't this represent that A Jie Ge has already started to care about her in his heart!?

  Thinking of this, Lingling's heart bloomed with joy.

  Then, without thinking, he said to Long Huaixuan.

  "Brother Biao, this sour plum soup is specially made for Brother A Ying. If you like to eat it, go and get someone to make it for you right away, okay?"

  She said with a blush, a typical appearance of forgetting her brother when seeing a color.

  Long Haoxuan saw this and couldn't help but raise his handsome eyebrows, his gaze immediately falling tightly on Lingling.

  Upon seeing this, his face immediately turned pale.

  After all, she also knew that her current appearance was not suitable at all.

  But she doesn't want to either.

  Because this sour plum soup was indeed made by her for Ah Ying Ge to eat, since now Ah Ying Ge doesn't like others eating the sour plum soup she made, how could she not agree?!

  What if Ah Ying Ge is unhappy! ?

  So Lingling can only apologize to her brother.

  Ling's heart was thinking, looking at Long Huaixuan's gaze, even more with an undisguised pleading intention.

  Such a delicate beauty, with such pitiful eyes looking at him, is like a lotus flower after the rain, fresh and beautiful. Even an iron-hearted man would not be able to bear refusing her request.

  However, Long Hao Xuan is an exception!

  When he saw Ling's gaze, not only was he unmoved, but his eyes flickered slightly, and his gaze swept over Ling before finally falling on Su Ying, whereupon he opened his mouth to ask.

  "What if I, the king, insist on eating it?!"

  Although it was a question, there was a tone of certainty and determination in the man's voice.

  "Uh..."

  Sensing the meaning behind the man's words, Su Ying's face turned red with embarrassment.

  Speechless

  This big shot, everyone is doing it for his own good, but now he's biting the hand that feeds him and doesn't recognize kindness!

  Fine, since he insists on eating, then let him eat!

  But don't forget, she had already stopped him just now, it's just that he didn't listen.

  Su Ying thought of this and immediately changed her expression, putting on a bright smile as she spoke to Long Huaixuan.

  "Haha, since the king wants to drink, I won't stop him anymore. It would be too petty and unbecoming of me. Come on, Your Majesty, let me serve you a bowl of sour plum soup!"

  Su Ying finished speaking and immediately took an empty bowl to scoop a bowl of sour plum soup for Long Hao Xuan.

  Her sudden change of attitude left everyone in the room stunned.

  Maybe they were all shocked and amazed by her sudden change in attitude!

  But Su Ying didn't care about the gazes of others at all, with a smile on her face, she held a bowl of sour plum soup in both hands and respectfully handed it to Long Huaixuan.

  Long Haoxuan saw this and slightly raised his good-looking sword-like eyebrows, but didn't say a word.

  Those eyes that were too narrow and long, beautiful and bloodshot, fell directly on Su Ying's body, with a strong sense of inquiry in them.

  It was as if she was deep in thought, wondering why Su Ying had suddenly changed.

  Su Ying at this moment, was only holding the bowl of sour plum soup with both hands, under Long Hua Xuan's sharp and inquiring gaze, her face showing the respect that a servant should have, lowering her head and closing her eyes, her expression unchanged.

  It wasn't until much later that the man seemed to sense Su Ying's change, and slowly reached out to take the sour plum soup she handed him.

  Su Ying's eyes drooped, and all she saw was a large hand with distinct joints stretching out before her, causing her pupils to flicker momentarily.

  She is indeed a beauty, and even her hands are so good-looking!

  She had never seen a man's hand look so good before.

  Long fingers, distinct joints, big hands clean and snowy white.

  And those fingernails, each one trimmed and neat, at this moment, under the sunlight, are even more radiant with a soft gem-like luster, so delightful to behold, like a work of art in a museum, leaving one's heart racing.

  Can't wait to go up and touch it!

  But this was just what Su Ying thought in her heart, she didn't dare touch the Fourth Prince's hand!

  Su Ying was thinking in her heart, and the sour plum soup in her hand had already been taken away by the man.

  At this time, Lingling saw that Su Ying's attitude had changed, and there was no longer any anger on her face. She also saw that the sour plum soup she had made herself had fallen into her own brother-in-law's hands. Suddenly, a look of excitement and expectation burst forth on her face, and she said to Long Huaixuan.

  "Brother, you try it quickly, just now Ah Ying tried it and said it's good!"

  When he heard Lingling's words, Long Huaixuan just lightly opened his mouth and said a sentence.

  "Really?"

  "Well, that's for sure."

  Upon hearing this, Lingling nodded enthusiastically, as if in waves, and said with an endearing expression.

  However, Su Ying, who was standing beside her, felt that the pressure was really overwhelming at this moment...

  Ling Ling didn't know what Su Ying was thinking in her heart, but her face was smiling brightly.

  Long Hao Xuan saw this and finally, under the expectant gaze, slowly picked up his spoon, lightly scooped a mouthful, and slowly began to eat.

  Su Ying's gaze also followed the Fourth Prince's gaze as it slowly swept across the room.

  Can't help but say, it's indeed the Fourth Master, having received aristocratic education since young, even eating a sour plum soup can be done with style.

  So delightful and pleasing to the eye, beautiful as a flowing scroll of painting, breathtakingly beautiful.

  But this sour plum soup is really...

  Just as Su Ying was thinking about it, as she had expected, the man's good-looking eyebrows immediately furrowed after tasting a mouthful of sour plum soup.

  Although this movement was very slight, it still let everyone present see it.

  At her side, Lingling saw it at a glance, and her face immediately stiffened, then she opened her mouth and said.

  "Older brother, what's wrong!? Doesn't this sour plum soup suit your taste!?"

  Upon hearing Ling's words, Long Hua Xuan didn't respond but instead asked Su Ying who was standing beside him.

  "You say this sour plum soup is very good!?"

  "Ah, yes!"

  When Su Ying heard Long Hua Xuan's words, she felt a chill run down her spine. However, now that she was in this situation, she could only grit her teeth and say it.

  After hearing Su Ying's words, Long Hao Xuan only flickered his blood-red eyes for a moment, but slowly put down the sour plum tea in his hand.

  The clever girl beside her suddenly felt puzzled.

  Then, as if thinking of something, he opened his mouth and spoke to Long Huaixuan.

  "Brother, doesn't this sour plum soup suit your taste?! Brother, you're being too picky!"

  Ling said with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

  She also knew that her cousin's mouth was even more particular than the emperor's, so he would think that the sour plum soup she made didn't suit his taste.

  She thought so in her heart.

  Unexpectedly, Long Hao Xuan heard her words and only swept his eyes once, lightly raised an eyebrow at her, and opened his mouth to speak.

  "Your plum soup, you've never tasted it before, have you?!"

  "Uh, this is, ah..."

  When Ling heard Long Hua Xuan's sudden words, her face was stunned for a moment, but she still spoke the truth.

  And now, seeing everyone's expression, Ling also realized something belatedly, and immediately picked up the sour plum soup that Su Ying had just eaten and took a sip.

  At this time, Su Ying thought it was too late to stop.

  Only to see Lingling pick up that bowl of sour plum soup and take a sip, immediately let out a "wow" sound, spitting out all the sour plum soup in her mouth.

  That lovely and cute little face immediately scrunched up into a ball.

  "Wow, it's so delicious! Water, sound, water!"

  Hearing the urgent cry, Yiner had already anticipated this and had long been prepared with tea to serve by their side.

  At this moment, after hearing Ling's words, he immediately handed over the cup of tea in his hand, which had already reached a suitable temperature.

  Lingling took over the tea water and didn't care about the princess image, she rinsed her mouth with a big gulp of tea water.

  After a long time of busy work, until the strange taste of sweet and sour and bitter in her mouth finally disappeared, Lingling took over the handkerchief handed by Yiner, wiped the corner of her mouth, turned her head and asked Su Ying.

  "A Qiang, this is so disgusting! Why did you lie to me and say it was good?!"

  As she said this, her face clearly showed a look of being hurt.

  "Could it be that Ah Jie Ge, after finding out my true identity, has started to not tell me the truth like everyone else?! I've said it before, no matter what my identity is, but I don't want Ah Jie Ge to change his attitude towards me because of my identity!"

  She spoke with a clear voice, but her face showed a look of sadness and loss.

  Looking at this lovely and pitiful young girl with such a sad and lost expression on her face, Su Ying couldn't bear it and hastily said.

  "Princess, you misunderstood. No matter what your identity is, in my heart, you are still the lovely little sister from back then, and that will never change. What I meant by 'very good' earlier was not whether the sour plum soup tastes good or not, but rather the thought and intention behind it from the princess. Although this batch of sour plum soup may not be made very well, it is something the princess personally made, with her own thoughts and intentions in it, and that thoughtfulness is what's truly good!"

  Su Ying spoke word by word, saying it was true and real, with no falsehood on her face.

  Lingling's face, which was originally lost and heartbroken, gradually turned from tears to smiles after hearing Su Ying.

  "A Qiang, what you said is true!?"

  "Haha, that's natural!"

  Seeing the girl regain her smile, Su Ying couldn't help but smile along with her.

  At this moment, the smile deepened, and the gaze towards Su Ying had a few hints of shyness, a few hints of joy, and a few unspoken emotions...

  As for the girl's gaze, Su Ying simply thought that the girl was shy and didn't know at all about the girl's feelings towards her.

  But she didn't know, doesn't mean others don't know.

  Looking at this handsome man and beautiful woman in front of me, the scene of them smiling at each other is so warm and beautiful.

  But it was like a thorn that pierced directly into Long Hua Xuan's heart, making him feel uncomfortable.

  She had already sensed the thoughts of this young man.

  But what about this young man!?

  Does he also like Lingling!?

  At this thought, Long Huaixuan's eyes narrowed slightly...

  ……

  "Beat the pirates!?"

  The next day, Su Ying was summoned by the Shuaiwei Zhang into the conference hall after finishing her shift.

  The eunuch's hands were clasped behind his back as he revealed the purpose of summoning Su Xiang to this place.

  Su Ying was shocked by what she heard and said.

  "Commander of the Imperial Guard, this pirate business, isn't there a navy?! How did this matter also land on the Fourth Prince's head?!"

  It's no wonder Su Ying is so puzzled. After all, Xianglong has an army and a navy, and the army naturally manages border affairs.

  The navy is in charge of maritime affairs.

  As far as she knew, the Fourth Prince was a great general on land, how could he now be in charge of sea affairs too!? Moreover, this time they were even sent to make things easier for them, it was really astonishing.

  Perhaps knowing Su Ying's heart was filled with doubts, the Shang Wei Chang spoke up.

  "This is what the king means, and the king's thoughts are impossible for us to guess. Since the king has made such arrangements, we can only obey."

  Su Ying heard this and although she was puzzled in her heart, she felt that the Shih Wei Chang's words were not unreasonable.

  That Fourth Prince has a changeable personality. Who can guess what he's thinking?

  But...

  "But we, the first-class guards, don't all know how to swim, do we?!"

  After all, every sailor is good at swimming, but these guards, because they have been on land for many years, are actually poor swimmers.

  The captain of the guard heard this and couldn't help but speak up.

  "I've thought of that too, so this time when we go to fight the pirates, I'll send people who know how to swim. Otherwise, sending those who don't know how to swim will only add chaos."

  As for this point, the captain of the guard also understood it clearly.

  Su Ying heard this and couldn't help but lower her head in contemplation.

  Because, according to her understanding of this pirate, it's actually not unfamiliar either.

  Although the material life of this dynasty was simple and could not be compared with modern times, there were already maritime trade affairs.

  Many merchants use cargo ships to transport goods to some countries on the other side of the sea for trade.

  However, in the middle of the sea, there is a place called Flying Eagle Island.

  This Flying Eagle Island, as its name suggests, is because the shape of the island is very much like an eagle about to spread its wings and fly high, and the name comes from this.

  However, on this Eagle Island, there lived a group of pirates.

  This group of pirates, each with high martial arts skills and extremely good swimming abilities, were also extremely arrogant.

  They were those guilty of crimes in their own countries who fled there and gathered together to become pirates.

  These pirates usually rob passing ships on ordinary days.

  Although the Xianglong Empire had sent many naval forces to attack Flying Eagle Island, the people of Flying Eagle Island were good swimmers, cunning and elusive.

  So no matter how many times the navy goes out, they all return in vain and are beaten into a state of utter defeat!

  This is a thankless job, even the naval generals are complaining nonstop, and unexpectedly the Fourth Prince will suddenly participate in this pirate-hunting action.

  He is bellicose, or what, nobody knows anymore.

  Just as Su Ying was thinking about it, she heard the servant boy speak up.

  "A'ying your aquatic skills are exceptionally good, so this time, Wang Ye specifically instructed you to go and fight the pirates!"

  "What!?! The king has ordered me to go!"

  When she heard the words of the captain of the guard, Su Ying's face was filled with astonished surprise.

  The eunuch couldn't help but smile and say.

  "Hehe, it seems that the king really appreciates you! Aying, you must do a good job, understand? Don't let me and the king down."

  Upon hearing the captain of the guard's words, Su Ying's face stiffened, and she spoke in a firm tone.

  "Yes, Captain of the Guard!"

  ……

  "Ah Ying ge!"

  Su Yingcai had just come out of the conference room when a lovely figure rushed towards her.

  Su Ying fixed her eyes on him for a moment before realizing that this person was none other than Linglingzi.

  Only saw her at this moment, with a look of anxiety and panic all over her face, as if she was about to cry.

  Seeing this, Su Ying was taken aback for a moment, and then she opened her mouth to ask.

  "Princess, what's wrong with you?!"

  Everyone knows that Ling is a princess and no one dares to bully her unless the person has eaten bear's heart and leopard's gall.

  Just as Su Ying was puzzled in her heart, she heard Lingling ask anxiously.

  "A Qiang, you really want to go and fight pirates?!"

  Upon hearing Lingling's words, Su Ying's face froze for a moment before she suddenly understood what was going on. She nodded and spoke the truth.

  "Yes, I'm going in a few days, with Wang Ye and others to Flying Eagle Island, how did you know about this?!"

  "Just now I accidentally heard that, at that time I begged my brother not to let you go. After all, isn't fighting pirates the navy's job? It has nothing to do with you guys. Besides, I've heard that the pirates on Flying Eagle Island are extremely ruthless. If Ah Jing goes, and something happens to him, what am I supposed to do?"

  At this point, Lingling was worried and her eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

  That pitiful and lovely appearance is really heartbreaking.

  Su Ying saw it too and knew that Ling was concerned about her. For a moment, her heart warmed up and she spoke up.

  "Ling, don't worry. Those pirates may be fierce, but you're not going alone, are you? Besides, although we're just guards, as people of the Xianglong Kingdom, it's our duty as men to take on these tasks of protecting the country!"

  Su Ying said with a serious face, her eyebrows and eyes exuding an air of integrity, making her look elegant and dazzling.

  It was as if even the sun in the sky had lost its luster because of it.

  At this sight, his heart skipped a beat.

  There are people in this world who need to rely on luxurious clothes and jade to show off their noble aura.

  But there is a kind of person, even if they wear ordinary clothes, their noble and elegant demeanor is something that comes with them naturally, making it impossible for others to ignore.

  The young man in front of him is the latter!

  Such an outstanding young man, one look and you can tell he's no ordinary person. How could she not be moved by such an excellent young man?

  At this thought, Ling's heart skipped a beat.

  That calm heart for sixteen years was slowly ruffled with layer upon layer of ripples...

  Su Ying didn't know what Ling was thinking in her heart, and simply opened her mouth to comfort her.

  "So don't worry, I'll definitely annihilate those pirates and return safely!"

  "A Qiang ge, what you said is true!?"

  "Hehe, when did I ever cheat you?!"

  Seeing the girl's face with an expectant gaze, Su Ying couldn't help but curve her lips into a smile.

  Suddenly seeing him, originally flustered and distracted, his expression involuntarily relaxed a little.

  Yes, her brother Ah Ying is the best. Last time, it was him who defeated the mountain bandits at Wolf's Peak Mountain and the big black bear at Evil Peak Mountain.

  A-Yong is so powerful, how could a mere pirate possibly harm A-Yong!?

  Thinking of this, Lingling's originally raised heart finally put down.

  "A'ge, you have to promise me, you must come back safely."

  "Hehe, I promise you."

  Su Ying smiled and said.

  After thinking for a moment, she still felt it was inappropriate, so she stretched out her small hand and said to Su Ying.

  "Come on, Brother Aqiang, let's pull each other."

  "Hehe, you're really just a kid."

  Su Ying saw Lingling's actions like a small child and couldn't help but chuckle, laughing and saying.

  As soon as she heard this, her cheeks flushed with a crimson glow, and her face became as lovely as a peach blossom.

  Su Ying saw this, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, her gaze lingering on Lingling for a moment.

  But all these are just appreciation.

  However, she didn't know that facing her astonished gaze, he was actually overjoyed in his heart.

  "Come on, Brother Aqiang, we haven't held hands yet!"

  "Hehe, okay, let's pull each other."

  Su Ying smiled and said, although she felt that this action was very childish, but the one in front of her, wasn't a child, right!?

  Su Ying thought to herself and stretched out her little finger, hooking it with Lingling's.

  At this time, Ling was finally satisfied.

  "From now on, I will pray for Ah Ying's safety every day. So, Ah Ying, you must remember that there is someone waiting for your return!"

  "Hehe, okay."

  Su Ying smiled and agreed when she heard Lingling's words.

  There was a sense of waiting, which was good, and it made Su Ying's heart feel warm.

  However, just as Su Ying and Lingling were chatting and laughing, they didn't know that not far from them, on a pavilion above, there was a slender figure standing quietly.

  The bright sun shines high in the sky, and the sunlight is charming. From that moment on, the carved flower window slants down and spills into the room, warming it up.

  However, at this moment, the red-clothed man on the attic above, his body was emitting a cold and stern aura, as if even the scorching sunlight couldn't melt it.

  On that enchanting face, a pair of eyes were tightly fixed on the smiling couple below.

  Although in those eyes, there was no ripple, however, the tightly pursed red lips revealed their owner's discontent...

  ……

  Three days later, the guards in the Wang's mansion were ready to set off under the leadership of the prince.

  Because there are not many people who understand water in the first-class guard, they have drawn out a considerable number from the second-class guard.

  Dahu is a second-class guard and also knows how to swim, so he naturally followed along as well.

  Because the Fourth Prince led his guards to fight pirates, the news spread throughout the capital. So when Su Ying and others came out of the Wang Fu and passed through the streets of the capital again, the common people on the street were extremely excited and enthusiastic about their cheers.

  After all, over the years, many merchants who have passed by Flying Eagle Island have been robbed of their goods and slaughtered indiscriminately by pirates. Many merchants were killed. The people of Xianglong Country hated those pirates to the bone.

  It's just that the court officials are helpless, and although there are brave generals, those pirates are all desperate people with no way out, and there are also people from various countries among them. They are cunning and deceitful, and have clashed with the court many times.

  Moreover, those pirates are familiar with the terrain of Flying Eagle Island, and there are many mechanisms on the island. Therefore, when the navy fights against the pirates, they often suffer defeat after defeat.

  Now, the invincible Fourth Prince makes his appearance, and the common people are naturally filled with anticipation.

  Su Ying walked among them, looking at the happy and excited faces on both sides of the street, and her heart warmed up.

  So many lovely and passionate ordinary people, so for the sake of these ordinary people, although she is not a citizen of Xianglong Country, but she also wants to completely destroy those heinous villains!

  With a heart full of passion, Su Ying followed the crowd and embarked on the path of fighting pirates!

  ……

  It's night!

  The stars twinkle in the sky, and the bright moon is high up in the air.

  Adorned with night, it becomes more enchanting!

  That serene moonlight, like smoke, gently sprinkled down, enveloping the entire dark land, making the surroundings seem to add a few more hints of mystery and secrecy.

  After walking for three whole days, Su Ying and her group finally arrived at the seaside.

  There were already many warships anchored off the coast.

  The boat was even more covered with lanterns, and the bright yellow light illuminated the surroundings clearly.

  Only on the boat, there were also many naval personnel on guard.

  There were still many patrolling on land and on ships.

  After walking for three days and three nights, Su Yingming was exhausted.

  But for some reason, after everyone else had fallen into a deep sleep, she found herself lying awake in bed.

  From then on, he looked out of the window at the enchanting sky outside, and so, he put on his clothes and stepped out of the cabin.

  Su Ying raised her eyes and looked into the distance, seeing only a bright moon in the sky like a sickle, with a pure white moonlight.

  The moon is reflected in the sea, the waves are rippling, the moonlight is shimmering, beautiful like a painting.

  Su Ying couldn't help but think of a line of poetry.

  "The bright moon rises over the sea, haha, isn't this just like a painting?"

  Su Ying smiled and whispered softly, but unexpectedly, at this moment, a hoarse yet cold voice suddenly came from in front of her.

  "Who's there! Come out!"

  "Uh..."

  Upon hearing this familiar voice, Su Ying suddenly woke up with a start and immediately looked stunned, thinking to herself.

  This Fourth Prince, no matter where she goes, can always meet him!

  Su Ying thought in her heart and looked towards the source of the sound involuntarily.

  Only on the bow side, a tall and straight figure was standing upright.

  All she saw was his figure standing quietly there, and he didn't know how long he had been standing there. If he hadn't spoken just now, she really wouldn't have noticed him coming!

  Su Ying thought in her heart and immediately opened her red lips to speak.

  "It's me, your subordinate."

  Su Ying's voice was crisp and clear, with a hint of huskiness, which made it even more distinct on this night when the only sound was the waves crashing against the shore.

  When Su Ying spoke, the man did not utter a word.

  For a moment, the surroundings fell silent once again.

  Seeing this, Su Ying quietly stood there for a long time. Seeing that the men did not make a sound, she decided to turn around and leave.

  After all, the thoughts of this Fourth Prince are too difficult to guess. Perhaps he was just thinking about how to deal with pirates here, but she suddenly appeared and interrupted him.

  Thinking of this, Su Ying's red lips opened again and she spoke once more.

  "Your Highness, if there are no other instructions, I will withdraw."

  Su Ying finished speaking and was about to turn around and leave, but unexpectedly, the man spoke again.

  "Come here!"
