Chapter 2684: Chapter 2685: Return to Tianyun (251)

Su Yi Jing nodded and then called out: "Rise."

"Yes, Prince." Tao Mingqing then dared to get up, but he lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly at Su Yi Jing, this Prince.

As is widely known, although Su Yi Jing has not yet ascended to become the King of Xiyun, he has long been exercising the powers of the King of Xiyun.

Su Yuxin laughed: "Father, you are too imposing; he doesn’t even dare to look at you."

Su Yi Jing said: "You should be more composed. If your mother sees you, she will talk about you for half a day, and ultimately you will be the one annoyed."

Su Yuxin snorted: "Mother just has too many rules. See how I’m like this in front of Grandpa and Grandma, and they never say anything. You’re good too, always saying good things."

Su Yi Jing tapped her on the head, "Your mother is also good, she just manages you a bit more, thinking you don’t behave much like a proper young lady."

Su Yuxin wasn’t upset, still smiling cheekily: "Father, have you eaten yet? I’m planning to take Little Qingqing to my courtyard for a meal, do you want to join?"

Su Yi Jing said: "Your mother has already prepared lunch, so don’t bother preparing food in your courtyard. Come eat with me."

Seeing Su Yi Jing didn’t mention Tao Mingqing, Su Yuxin smiled cheekily and asked again: "How about Little Qingqing?"

Su Yi Jing said: "Naturally, he will eat with us." After all, he is the Fifth Brother of her brother-in-law, sharing a meal is appropriate.

Su Yuxin immediately said to Tao Mingqing, who still had his head lowered: "Little Qingqing, my father said you should eat with us in his courtyard."

Tao Mingqing was quite anxious, but he couldn’t refuse without disrespecting Su Yi Jing’s reputation, so he reluctantly said: "Thank you, Prince."

However, he could imagine that when eating, he would surely be particularly restrained.

Su Yi Jing saw that he still kept his head down, respectful yet not losing his demeanor as a gentleman from the Mingmen, and said: "Raise your head."

He wanted to see whether this person’s looks were as exaggerated as his precious daughter had described.

Tao Mingqing couldn’t help but brace himself and raise his head.

Tao Mingqing was originally born extremely fair and handsome, and now with Su Yuxin standing beside him, he was even more striking.

Su Yi Jing was slightly stunned, truly didn’t expect that his precious daughter and this Fifth Young Master Tao were such a perfect match.

Last time his younger sister talked about Gold and Jade, he thought it was just a joke, but now it seems it’s no joke; they truly look like a pair of golden children descended from the heavens.

Remembering that his younger sister said this Tao Mingqing had noble character and was extremely wise...

He had seen Tao Mingqing’s previous rural exam paper, the handwriting was exceptional, and the answers were unique and innovative, incomparable to the common folk.

If he had been the examiner at the time, he estimated that the first place in this year’s Imperial City cultural rural exam would be Tao Mingqing, not that person who writes answers still filled with old stubborn thoughts, sticking to outdated ideas.

Whether from Tao Mingqing’s appearance or his scholarly achievements, Su Yi Jing was quite satisfied.

Unconsciously, Su Yi Jing’s usually expressionless face softened considerably, and he unusually said: "No need to be so restrained, you are Fifth Brother Mingye; our families are practically relatives, let’s just have a casual meal together."

"Yes." Tao Mingqing responded respectfully, but was still quite reserved. Though his family now counts as royal kin, the man before him is an authentic member of the royal family; he truly couldn’t relax.

Su Yi Jing didn’t bother with Tao Mingqing any longer and turned to go towards his residence.

Su Yuxin quickly called Tao Mingqing to follow along with her.

At the dining table, it was just Su Yuxin, Tao Mingqing, Su Yi Jing, and Feng Feiyan, while Su Yuxin’s younger siblings went to play at An Jing’s and Su Changyi’s place, having lunch there as well.
