Chapter 2682: Chapter 2683: Return to Tianyun (249)

Without waiting for Tao Mingqing to speak, Su Yuxin suddenly laughed, saying as she laughed, "You spend so long on one book, I’m afraid by the time you leave the palace, you might not even have finished two books."

Tao Mingqing felt a bit embarrassed and chuckled awkwardly.

"Alright, alright," Su Yuxin reassured with a smile, "Let’s have a look around first. Once you’re done touring, you can slowly start reading. I’m not saying you can only read today. You don’t have to get your fill from one book, I’ll bring you here again to let you read as much as you want."

Upon hearing that he could read as much as he wanted, Tao Mingqing’s eyes brightened up unusually: "Really?"

"I always keep my promises, of course it’s true."

"Then thank you, Princess!" Tao Mingqing immediately expressed his gratitude cheerfully.

Su Yuxin was momentarily stunned.

Tao Mingqing saw Su Yuxin in a daze and asked puzzled, "Princess, what’s wrong?"

Su Yuxin laughed and said, "You look great when you’re happy, truly like you’ve come from heaven."

Tao Mingqing’s ears instantly turned very red.

Seeing his red ears, Su Yuxin felt playful, gently poked them with her finger and teased, "I’m used to seeing girls get shy, but haven’t seen a boy get shy before. You’re pretty cute like this, look at how red your ears are, haha."

Tao Mingqing’s ears turned even redder, as if they were about to bleed, and even his fair face was blushing. He was completely red in the face and ears.

However, because Tao Mingqing’s skin was soft and fair, when he blushed, it was crystal clear and translucent.

Seeing Tao Mingqing’s face turn red too, with that translucent look, Su Yuxin became even happier: "Last time, my father gave me a piece of ruby, its shine was just like yours now, crystal clear and particularly beautiful. My father said it was a rare treasure, and you, this look of yours, can count as a treasure too."

Tao Mingqing was unbearably embarrassed, but quickly said, "The Princess exaggerates, how can a commoner compare to a rare gem, let alone be called a treasure."

Su Yuxin snorted, "Depends on what ’treasure’ means. If it’s just an object, how can a living person not compare? Lives may be cheap, but they’re not cheaper than lifeless objects."

Tao Mingqing was startled, not expecting Su Yuxin, the Princess Chang, to have such insight, and quickly said, "The Princess speaks very aptly."

Su Yuxin immediately smiled and said, "Then you’re a treasure~"

Tao Mingqing: "..." Did I say that?

Oh well, as long as it keeps the Princess happy. If she’s unhappy, it won’t feel right for him either, and he senses he might end up suffering.

Seeing Tao Mingqing didn’t know what to say, Su Yuxin stopped teasing him and took him to explore the large library room.

While leading Tao Mingqing around, she said, "I don’t usually live in the Royal Palace, but every time I come to the palace, I play here with my siblings, tossing books everywhere, it’s so fun."

Tao Mingqing: "..." Could I say ’you’re squandering precious resources’... Such wonderful things...

If he had them, he would treasure them as precious keepsakes.

Su Yuxin continued, "But my father and others find it quite a headache. We make such a mess, and they have to categorize and rearrange everything, but luckily it’s not they themselves who do it. The palace attendants handle that. As much as it bothers them, they let us play as long as we are happy."
