Chapter 2677: Chapter 2678: Return to Tianyun (244)

Su Yuxin laughed and said, "Your weak health, paired with your timid nature, actually suits you. However, don’t argue with me about it. As I said earlier, whether it’s related to me or not, I’m well aware of it. As for your weak health, it’s probably due to spending too many years indoors. Even if you don’t exercise, at least go outside more. It’s good for your health."

"Yes, Princess."

"As for taking you into the palace to see the main study," Su Yuxin continued, "you’re welcome to go. It’s not a big deal to let you take a look. I have that privilege."

"Thank you, Princess."

"Also, don’t be too sensitive. I’m just a young lady and I’m not as reserved as you. What’s with you, being a man?" Su Yuxin said amusingly.

Tao Mingqing was at a loss for words. In the etiquette he was taught, it’s proper for men and women to keep a distance.

Not only had he been kissed by her, but also had his hand held, arm helped, and forehead touched...

To be honest, it’s not that he’s reserved.

Su Yuxin continued laughing as she said, "The social customs nowadays are quite different from the times of Tianyun and Xiyun. You need to go out more and you’ll see that there are many unmarried men and women outside holding hands without anyone saying anything about them. But you, I merely helped you for a moment and checked if your forehead was still hot, and you became stiff like a piece of wood."

Tao Mingqing hung his head, still at a loss for words.

He had gone out and gathered with some housekeeper’s children quite a few times and knew that the customs now are different from before. However, he still felt that her holding his arm and other actions crossed the line.

"I didn’t want you to kneel to me, so I helped you to keep you from doing that. As for touching your forehead, it’s because I wanted to see if you were still feverish... Anyway, I’m not casually treating you like this, so you really don’t need to be this way. But if you truly can’t accept it, just think of it as me being out of line. Just don’t mind it."

Su Yuxin spoke with a calm demeanor, with her Grandpa Gong and Grandma Gong, along with her uncle and aunt’s affectionate example, she genuinely considered this not to be a big deal.

Naturally, she wouldn’t feel shy about it.

Upon hearing Su Yuxin say to consider her out of line, Tao Mingqing hastily responded, "This humble subject wouldn’t dare!"

As he spoke, he thought of kneeling again, but was immediately forced back into his seat by a stern look from Su Yuxin.

"Little Qingqing, I just don’t want you kneeling to me. Even if you fear me as the Princess, you shouldn’t always put me in an awkward position!" Su Yuxin said a bit angrily.

Tao Mingqing was nervous to the point of being speechless. Actually, he really wanted to ask why she didn’t want him to kneel to her, as she was the extremely honorable Princess Chang, he was supposed to kneel before her.

But he dared not ask.

Su Yuxin continued, "You don’t need to kneel to me in the future. If you dare kneel again, this Princess will chop off your head. That’s what you get for being so disobedient!"

"... Yes." Tao Mingqing had no other choice but to comply. She was the Princess, she held authority. Moreover, he quite wanted to keep his head and preferred not to have it chopped off.

Su Yuxin finally eased her expression, smiled again, and asked, "Did you see the gift I gave you? Do you like it?"

Tao Mingqing replied, "I saw it. I like it."

Su Yuxin immediately beamed and said, "As long as you like it, I managed to get those from my second uncle."
