Jiang Ying Yue (27)

When the next morning came, the news about Hai Wang deflecting the kidnappers for Sheng Lingxin touched so many people and became the number one talk in the city. It eclipsed even the departure of the famed general Chen Wang.

Nonetheless, when Jiang Li and his people officially set out for the southern border, not few sent them off. Actually, both sides of the streets where they passed were full of people giving them well-wishes and praying for their safe return next time. Quite a lot were single ladies weeping for the only prince who was actively involved in the army, repelling invasions from the other countries, and ensuring peace for one of their borders.

"His Highness is really loved..." Jiang Ying Yue murmured as she looked out from her palanquin's window and into the distant city walls. She could see that there were a lot of people, mostly commoners, waving their handkerchiefs or raising their arms and shouting Chen Wang's name or title.
