Chapter 2683: Chapter 2684: Return to Tianyun (250)

Tao Mingqing: "..." If you were my children, I would definitely punish you... You’re just too outrageous...

"What’s up with you?" Seeing Tao Mingqing looking resentful, Su Yuxin found it amusing.

Only then did Tao Mingqing realize he had overreacted and hastily said: "I apologize for my impropriety."

Su Yuxin laughed and said: "It’s not really impropriety, you’re just too fond of these books."

Tao Mingqing merely smiled awkwardly. Sometimes the Princess’ eyes are indeed sharp; she can see exactly what he’s thinking.

Su Yuxin continued: "Actually, there’s no need to be overly fond of them. Books are lifeless, but people are alive. If people read them and use the knowledge, it fulfills the value of the books. But if one doesn’t know how to apply the knowledge within, no matter how treasured they are, they’re still inanimate things."

"The Princess is right." Earlier, Tao Mingqing was quite impressed by Su Yuxin’s insight, and now hearing her remarks, he was even more in admiration of her.

And naturally, even more delighted with Su Yuxin.

The more he spends time with Su Yuxin, the more he likes her.

After Su Yuxin took Tao Mingqing for a tour around the large study room, she finally allowed him to pick a book and sit down to read.

Tao Mingqing initially didn’t dare to read, afraid of showing disrespect to Su Yuxin, the Princess.

But Su Yuxin also sat down, cheerfully saying, "Go ahead, I’ve noticed that you look nice when you’re absorbed in reading. Just right, let me have a look; I didn’t get to see it earlier."

Tao Mingqing: "..."

Aside from following the heart of Princess Su Yuxin, Tao Mingqing had no choice but to follow the heart of Princess Su Yuxin, sitting there reading.

At first, he was a bit distracted by Su Yuxin’s gaze, but over time, he got used to it and slowly got engrossed, absorbed in his reading.

Until it was almost time for lunch, someone came in to ask Su Yuxin when she would like to have her meal.

Su Yuxin first replied that the meal should be brought to her courtyard, then turned to Tao Mingqing with a smile: "Little Qingqing, enough reading, it’s time for lunch, come on, let’s eat at my place."

"Yes, Princess." Though he was reluctant to put down the book in his hand, Tao Mingqing still did.

Then, he stood up and walked out with Su Yuxin.

Su Yuxin hadn’t reached her courtyard when she saw Su Yi Jing, immediately running over to greet him: "Dad, you’re in the palace today? I thought you went to the Imperial Palace."

Su Yi Jing’s calm gaze gently softened with warmth, as he patted his precious daughter’s head, but did not say anything.

Tao Mingqing saw Su Yuxin running toward a middle-aged man dressed in Dark Python Robes, he hurriedly followed. Upon hearing Su Yuxin call him dad, he realized it was Su Yi Jing, the current King Jing and future King of Xiyun.

Su Yuxin is the Princess because Su Yi Jing is the future King of Xiyun. She was given the title of Princess in advance due to special circumstances, and being Su Yi Jing’s eldest child, she is called Princess Chang.

Quickly, Tao Mingqing knelt down, bowing and saluting: "The commoner pays respects to the Prince."

Su Yi Jing didn’t recognize Tao Mingqing and didn’t allow him to rise, instead, he asked Su Yuxin: "Xin’er, who is he?"

He had seen from afar his precious daughter talking and laughing with the person now kneeling on the ground head touching the earth.

Su Yuxin laughed: "He’s my little uncle’s fifth brother. Last time, I scared him into falling into the water and he got sick. Feeling guilty, knowing he loves to read, I brought him to the Royal Palace today to look at books in the large study room."
