Chapter 534: Forever Only Yours

“Is this the night market street?”

Xiao Jin nodded, holding her hand and walking on the street.

There are two yellow lanterns hanging in front of each of the small vendors, making the entire street surrounded by a warm light.

"Well, I used to sneak out of the palace and come here to eat something. I still remember the taste."

Xiao Jin took Su Ying across a small stone bridge and came to a white-haired old man.

Before she got close, Su Ying smelled the aroma of fried food, which instantly aroused her appetite.

"Uncle, do you have any more taro meatballs?" Xiao Jin looked at the golden meatballs fried in the pan, with a look of desire in his eyes.

"Yes, five copper coins a string, how many do you want?" The old man might be too old and his movements were not very agile, but his hands were exceptionally steady when he flipped the meatballs in the pot.

"Give me two skewers first."

"Okay, it will be ready soon."

Su Ying was watching from the side and saw the old man get some taro paste from a large bowl, roll it into a ball, put it in the batter, coat it with it, and then throw it into the frying pan.

The steps seemed extremely simple, with no technical requirements at all. Su Ying was very curious as to how such a snack could make Xiao Jin eagerly bring her over to eat it.

Soon, the meatballs were fried.

The old man used bamboo sticks to string the fried meatballs together one by one and spread a thin layer of honey on them.

"Okay, you two take them."

The old man then raised his head and handed them two strings of meatballs.

Xiao Jin reached out to take it and thanked him.

The old man looked at Xiao Jin and examined him carefully.

"Is it that little mud monkey? He has grown up so big in the blink of an eye. Has he got married?"

Little mud monkey?

Su Ying looked at Xiao Jin with a smile, the boy had quite a few nicknames.

Xiao Jin didn't mind being called "grandfather". He just smiled and said, "Well, I haven't been here for many years. I didn't expect you're still here."

The old man chuckled and said, "I'm still here. As long as I'm alive, I'll keep doing it."

Xiao Jin blew on it until it was no longer hot before bringing it to Su Ying's lips.

Su Ying was attracted by the fragrance just now, and she took a bite without caring whether it was still hot or not.

When your lips touch the meatballs, the skin is sweet and crispy. When you take a bite, your mouth is filled with the aroma of taro, and you can even taste a faint floral fragrance inside.

The flavors are layered and progressive, no wonder Xiao Jin, a royal descendant, has been thinking about it all the time.

Xiao Jin looked at her, his eyes still full of doting, "Is it delicious?"

Su Ying licked her lips and said, "It's delicious."

The old man looked at the two people who were getting close to each other and smiled until his eyes narrowed. "I said before that you will definitely love your wife in the future, but why does this little wife seem to have changed after growing up? Hey, it's true that girls change a lot when they grow up. She's getting prettier and prettier."

Su Ying raised her eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Jin with a smile.

Xiao Jin's heart skipped a beat. After giving the money, he took Su Ying away.

Su Ying took the taro meatballs from his hand and ate them one by one. "It seems that you have taken your young wife to eat meatballs before."

Xiao Jin blinked, his expression extremely innocent, "Do you want to hear an explanation?"

"No, there's no need to listen. You're mine now anyway."

Xiao Jin chuckled, the low laughter vibrating out from his chest, and every pore was clamoring for his joy at the moment.

"Okay, mine is yours, and it will always be yours only."

Su Ying glanced at the uneaten meatball in his hand, reached out to grab it, and swallowed it in one gulp.

“Mmm, delicious!”

Xiao Jin looked into the light in her phoenix eyes with his dark eyes. That was the light that illuminated her, and it was also his light.

That night, the two returned to the palace very late and entered through the back door of the palace.

Zhang Shuming smelled the smell of fireworks on the two people and thought that the couple must not be doing any serious work.

Who could have imagined that the king and the mother of a country would have to sneak back through the back door to the palace...

For several days afterwards, Su Ying personally went to the academy to start reorganization. She personally reviewed every job she employed, and only after she nodded could they stay in the academy.

This incident has caused a credit crisis for the entire academy. If something bad happens again in the future, the prestige of the entire academy will be completely destroyed.

After finishing the affairs of the academy, Su Ying came to an inconspicuous small courtyard in the capital.

When Uncle Zhao and his family saw Su Ying coming, they were so surprised that they jumped up from their chairs.

From that day on, their family was settled in this villa and has lived there ever since.

Uncle Zhao and his friends only found out afterwards that the person who had not shown any disdain for their poor house and had happily praised their rice cakes for being delicious was actually the current queen.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."

Su Ying stepped forward and gave them a helping hand. "Since we are outside, there is no need to be polite. Just call me Madam like before."

Uncle Zhao responded repeatedly, "Madam, come in and sit down."

Su Ying followed them into the house and asked, "Are you used to living here?"

"Thank you for your concern, ma'am. This place is great. We have never lived in such a nice place in our lives."

Su Ying saw that their complexions were much better than before, "How is the moon?"

Speaking of the moon, the family's faces became a little gloomy.

Su Ying understood immediately, "I'll go see her."

The moon was placed in a room in the backyard. The maid guarding outside the door bowed to Su Ying and then opened the door to let her in.

Su Ying signaled everyone to wait outside the door, and she was the only one who went into the house.

The lighting in the room was very good. A ray of sunlight shone through the window onto the moon, seeming to dispel the gloom on her.

Yueliang heard the noise and turned around. She was a little surprised to see that the person coming was Su Ying.

"Are you feeling better?"

Yueliang immediately recognized Su Ying's voice. Her parents told her that it was the queen who saved her, but she didn't understand. Wasn't it the queen who harmed her like this?

Until she saw Su Ying, she chose to believe what her parents said. She believed that her sister would never hurt her.

"Sister... Queen."

Su Ying walked to her bed and sat down. Her complexion seemed to have improved a lot, but she still didn't look very well.

"Are you feeling better?"

The moon nodded slowly. The physical injuries were no longer a big deal, but the pain in her heart was difficult and might not be so easily healed.

"Moon, do you know how the moon in the sky is illuminated?"

The moon looked at her in confusion.

Su Ying said: "The moon in the sky is illuminated by the sun. I hope that the golden light outside can not only illuminate the moon in the sky, but also illuminate you. If you don't want to stay in the capital, I will arrange a place for you and let your family go to a place where no one knows you to welcome the sun again, okay?"

Yueliang looked at Su Ying with her eyes gradually turning red, "Sister, can I really start over again? Am I still worthy of seeing the light?"

Su Ying tightened her hand around me and said, "As long as you are willing, there will be light waiting for you."
