Qī Sè Tāng Wán

  "Do you know what crime it is to gossip about your master behind his back? Are you trying to get yourselves killed?"

  Su Ying suddenly stood up from her seat, and with a fierce gaze that was full of anger, she swept the surroundings fiercely.

  The originally noisy and quarrelsome canteen was suddenly silenced by the young man's angry shout, as if it had been frozen.

  It's not just because of the youth's superior status over them, but also the aura of majesty emanating from his body.

  This young man is like a precious sword that has just been unsheathed, with its sharpness and grandeur fully revealed, making it impossible for others to look down on him.

  There is also a majestic and proud aura between his eyebrows, an overbearing aura that only those in high positions have, suppressing the entire scene, making people involuntarily fearful from the bottom of their hearts.

  Compared to everyone's shock, at this moment, Su Ying's heart was like a burning fire.

  Although she had not been with this Fourth Prince for a long time and had only met him three times.

  She didn't know how she knew it, but this prince was not like the one in the legend.

  Although he is taciturn and his face is cold and stern, like a thousand-year-old mysterious ice, however, it's not as unbearable as what others have said.

  And hearing everyone talking about him like that made Su Ying's heart feel as if there was a raging fire burning inside.

  So at this moment, Su Ying furrowed her brow and spoke from the bottom of her heart.

  "Put yourself in others' shoes, who would want to be gossiped about behind their back like this?! And those nonsense about being born with evil eyes, bringing disaster to the country and its people, are all rubbish! Who among you has seen the king bring disaster to the country?! I only know that over these years, the king's achievements have been outstanding, undefeated in battle, and has made countless contributions to our Soaring Dragon Country, allowing our common people to live in peace and prosperity. Moreover, this time, Wolf Fang Stronghold was also destroyed by the king at the risk of his own life! Because of the king, we common people are no longer harmed by Wolf Fang Stronghold, haven't you all seen this?! And as for how Princess Shu died, who among you was present?! Was it something you personally witnessed, that the king killed Princess Shu?!"

  Do you know that a person's birth is not his own wish, who would like to be born with blood stains, who would like to be crowned with the title of an unlucky person at birth, who would like to be discussed by people all over the world?

  Actually, the king is just an ordinary person! Moreover, if it's said that those eyes are enchanting and soul-stirring, I think they're the most beautiful eyes in the world! Because those eyes are one-of-a-kind in this world, and only our Fourth King has them! Perhaps the Fourth King is a heavenly general sent by heaven to protect our Xiang Long Kingdom, who knows?!

  Su Ying said this, absolutely without flattering anyone's meaning.

  Because she didn't know at all, the person she was talking about in her mouth was just outside the cafeteria. She was just speaking fairly.

  Su Ying has always been one who speaks with facts.

  She had never seen the Fourth Prince do anything harmful, only heard that he was a great achievement, and also the last time the Wolf's Edge Fort event, the Fourth Prince personally took charge, not afraid of hard work, day and night planning, his hard work, who can really see it!

  Everyone is a common person, only seeing the bad side of others, and covering up all their efforts. It's really unfair, so she couldn't help but say what she said earlier.

  With Su Ying's words, the canteen, after a brief moment of silence, was once again in an uproar.

  Perhaps Su Ying's words were too shocking and unconventional, but after a moment of contemplation, everyone felt that what she said wasn't entirely unreasonable.

  "Yes, our Fourth Master, although born with heterochromia, but it's also not what our master wishes for..."

  "Yes, how one is born is not up to him..."

  "It's just that, our king has never done anything to harm the country or its people over the years. Moreover, aside from his pair of bloodshot eyes, he is a brilliant military commander with numerous victories and is considered a great hero in our kingdom of Xiang Long. With him around, other small countries wouldn't dare to invade..."

  "Yes, so it is said, our king is not a demon, but a great hero!"

  "Whatever..."

  After Su Ying's words just now, everyone suddenly realized after thinking clearly.

  At this moment, what everyone is talking about is no longer the terror of Wang Ye, but his military achievements. Even the fact that Wang Ye led troops to fight at the age of 15 has been mentioned.

  Su Ying heard this and immediately concentrated on listening to the story of the fourth prince's bravery, but she didn't know that outside the cafeteria, under a big tree, a man in red was standing quietly, looking at her through the open window...

  ……

  "What's the point of coming again? Ah Qiang, you want to make a seven-color soup ball!? But can you do it!? Even the head chef can't make it and gets scolded repeatedly. Don't mess around, if the prince blames us, it won't be good."

  "Yes, Ah Ying, you'd better think carefully. Today the king's mood is not good. If you want to make seven-color soup balls and he doesn't like them, that would be terrible."

  After hearing Su Jing say that she wanted to make a seven-colored ball for Wang Ye, Ah Ming and Da Hu were both startled.

  After all, this kind of thing is obviously unprofitable and laborious.

  Even the skilled head chef was scolded by the prince today, if Su Ying suddenly made a seven-colored soup ball and the prince didn't like it, they wouldn't be able to take the blame.

  Compared to Da Hu and A Ming's worries, Su Ying just smiled and said with a face of indifference.

  "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Just now, I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, my mother used to make seven-colored soup balls for me. Although I don't know if my mother's seven-colored soup balls are the same as those made by Princess Shu, but since the prince wants to eat them and I want to try making them too."

  Although this matter may seem like an attempt to curry favor with the prince in other people's eyes, Su Ying did not think so in her heart.

  Somehow, she and the Fourth Prince were originally people from two different worlds. They had only met three times. The first time was at night when she was swimming in the pond, he suddenly appeared and silently accompanied her for a walk.

  The second time was when he bandaged her wound on the roof.

  The third time was at Wolf's Stronghold, where everyone fought against the enemy with a momentum that shook the heavens and stirred up the waters...

  Although they met infrequently and spoke even less often, somehow, whenever that man was around, her attention would involuntarily fall on him.

  As long as it's his business, she is particularly concerned.

  Su Ying didn't think she had fallen in love with the Fourth Prince yet.

  After all, her last relationship ended so tragically that it left her heart with deep scars.

  She doesn't plan on falling in love again in this life.

  As for why he had to make the Seven Color Pellet, perhaps it was just his sympathy and pity for the Fourth Prince.

  Although she did not have the miserable childhood experience of the Fourth Prince, being free from her own father's doting and her mother's early death.

  But now she seems to have gradually understood the Fourth Prince's feelings.

  Because she also started missing her family.

  Her cheerful and robust father spoiled her mother, she really misses them...

  Just thinking that she would never see them again in this life, Su Ying's heart ached so much that her eyes and nose turned red.

  However, Su Ying still lifted her head high, only letting the tears swirl in her eye sockets without falling.

  The big tiger and Ah Ming beside saw Su Ying's strange appearance and were frightened.

  "Aying, what's wrong with you?! Is there something sad that happened? Tell us, we're brothers, aren't we?!"

  When Ah Ming and Da Hu heard the words of concern, Su Ying only slightly hooked the corner of her mouth and said.

  "Actually, I understand the king's current mood. He is missing his mother, just like how I miss my parents. In this life, we can't see them again, so especially want to eat the dishes made by our parents, actually, it's to fill the gap in our hearts for thinking of them..."

  When Su Ying said these sorrowful words, Ah Ming and Da Hu all fell silent.

  Because Ah Ming and Da Hu, although their family was poor, but they had the advantage of having both parents around. Now hearing Su Jing's sad words, they thought that Su Jing's parents were gone, which is why she was so heartbroken.

  I think it's just that I sympathize with Wang Ye, and we appreciate each other.

  Thinking of this, Da Hu and A Ming looked at each other for a moment, then both immediately rolled up their sleeves and patted Su Ying on the chest.

  "Alright, since Ayin wants to make the Seven Color Glutinous Rice Balls, we'll help out. Even if Wang Ye blames us, we'll take responsibility together."

  When Su Ying heard Ah Ming and Da Hu's bold words, she couldn't help but smile, and with a loud laugh, she slapped their shoulders hard.

  "Alright, let's go! We'll make wontons!"

  ……

  Then, for the entire afternoon, Su Ying and the other two quickly bought all the necessary materials at the market and hastily returned to the courtyard where Su Ying lived.

  Because the houses of the first-class guards in the Wangfu all had separate kitchens, Su Ying brought back the materials and immediately started making wontons.

  Emin and Datou helped on the side.

  "Come on, big tiger, peel the sweet potatoes, pumpkins, cucumbers, yams, bananas, papayas and pineapples, then chop them up."

  "Aming, come and start the fire..."

  Su Ying instructed Ah Ming and Da Hu to do things while she kneaded flour on the side.

  A Ming and Da Hu may be able to make some simple dishes, but they have never made a seven-colored soup ball before.

  Moreover, I have never heard of Qi Se Tang Wan either.

  So now, both of them are curious about what effect this seven-color ball will have when it's done, and whether it tastes good or not.

  And what will the prince think after eating these seven-colored soup balls?

  Is he furious or what!?
