Chapter 2678: Chapter 2679: Return to Tianyun (245)

"Especially that inkstone," Su Yuxin continued to laugh, "My second uncle treasures it greatly and was absolutely unwilling to give it to me. I had to pester him several times before he agreed to part with it."

"If Prince Xing treasures it so much, the inkstone must be very valuable. Princess, you brought it to me—I wouldn’t dare accept it."

Su Yuxin laughed, "All of my second uncle’s belongings are priceless, but don’t say you wouldn’t dare accept it. I promised to give you something, and I happened to fancy my second uncle’s inkstone, so I brought it as a gift for you. Anyway, my second uncle has many treasures; one more doesn’t make much difference, and one less doesn’t matter either. Since I’m giving it to you as a gift, just accept it; it’s no big deal."

Priceless...

Tao Mingqing knew it was something good, but he hadn’t expected it to be this good, and he truly did not dare to accept it. Yet, Su Yuxin continued to say a string of comforting words, so other than accepting it, he had no choice but to accept it.

"Yes, Princess Chang." He didn’t know what else to say.

Su Yuxin laughed, "If you ever lack anything in the future, just tell me. There are many things in the palace that are merely for display. Giving them to you for use is a way to make full use of them."

"Commoner..." Tao Mingqing was extremely fearful. Was Princess Chang being excessively kind to him?

"Don’t be like that." Seeing Tao Mingqing looking terrified, Su Yuxin couldn’t help but laugh, "I’m serious, not joking around. I consider you a friend, which is why I’m treating you this way."

Friend...

Just friends...

Tao Mingqing’s heart ached slightly, but on his face, he maintained a polite and appropriate smile and said, "Thank you, Princess Chang."

"Thank me? Thank me for considering you a friend? Haha, if you truly want to thank me, you should consider me a friend as well. By the way, I’ve brought many nutritious items for you to help you nourish your body." Saying this, she turned to the maid who had accompanied her, "Xiaodie, bring the items up."

"Yes, Your Highness." Maid Xiaodie immediately placed a small wooden box she was carrying onto the tea table.

After Xiaodie returned to her standing spot, Su Yuxin opened the box to let Tao Mingqing see what was inside.

Su Yuxin smiled radiantly, "They’re all for nourishment. I’ve written down instructions on how to consume each and stuck them on the items. Just follow what’s written. However, simply relying on supplements won’t do; your body truly needs more exercise. Make sure to take more walks in the future. Don’t take my words lightly; I’m not trying to harm you."

"Yes, Princess Chang."

Su Yuxin couldn’t help but advise further, "Don’t sit in the study reading books all day. You truly need to go out more. If your father gives you trouble, just say that I instructed you; he certainly won’t say much."

"Thank you, Princess Chang." Though he responded this way, Tao Mingqing still planned to read more books, learn more knowledge, and strive to make a name for himself soon.

"Are you just sitting here doing nothing? Would you like to go back to your room and lie down?" Seeing the pallor and haggardness that come only from being ill, she didn’t hesitate to voice her concern.

Tao Mingqing shook his head, smiling softly, "I started lying down yesterday morning and only got up when the sun was high today. It’s clearer to be up; lying down only makes me groggy."

"Then just stay as you are, but don’t exert yourself. You are still in the midst of illness; getting well should be your priority first."

"Yes, Princess Chang."
