Chapter 2689: Chapter 2690: Return to Tianyun (256)

The people in the palace were also used to it and didn’t think much of it.

It was An Jing and the others who noticed how much Tao Mingqing loved reading, especially since Tao Mingqing had unique insights after reading books. They all really liked Tao Mingqing, feeling he was different from others.

Especially An Yiyun.

An Yiyun himself loved reading books, and he never thought someone could love reading this much. So, he would often go to the large study to read books with Tao Mingqing, while discussing some of the content with him.

Also, since Tao Mingqing visited the palace frequently, in less than a month, he had almost recognized the whole Wang family.

Tao Mingqing was extremely reserved at the beginning, but later got somewhat used to it, yet he remained quite reserved.

It was indeed the vast difference in status that made him unable to feel at ease.

This day, Su Yuxin didn’t plan to let Tao Mingqing come to the palace to read; instead, she intended to go out of the palace to find Tao Mingqing and wander around the Imperial City, to see if there were any interesting trinkets to buy and play with.

But before she could leave the palace, she ran into her Fourth Aunt supporting the Prime Minister up the steps.

Her Fourth Aunt was Wang Wenya, and the current Prime Minister was Wang Youbao, who was exactly her Fourth Aunt’s father and also her mentor uncle.

Because Li Wuyu was her grandmother’s disciple, Wang Youbao, as Li Wuyu’s husband, had to call her grandmother "Master."

However, Wang Youbao was originally her grandparents’ friend, and with Wang Wenya marrying her Fourth Uncle, the relationship between the two families was exceptionally good.

Upon seeing Wang Wenya and Wang Youbao, Su Yuxin cheerfully went up to greet them: "Mentor Uncle, Fourth Aunt, what brings you here?"

Wang Youbao smiled and said, "I have some matters with your grandparents. Why, are you heading out of the palace?"

Su Yuxin replied lightheartedly: "I’m going out to have some fun. Last time I saw Seventh Uncle bought Seventh Aunt a very amusing trinket, I heard it was bought at the marketplace. I also want to browse around to see if I can find anything fun to buy."

Wang Youbao nodded.

Wang Wenya then smiled and said, "Bring more guards with you, so that everyone won’t worry."

Su Yuxin laughed and said, "I’m very skilled, and it’s broad daylight now. Nothing will happen."

Wang Wenya said, "You must be back before it gets dark."

"Mm-hmm~" Su Yuxin immediately agreed. "Then, Mentor Uncle, Fourth Aunt, I’m off."

"Go ahead," Wang Youbao nodded kindly.

Wang Wenya couldn’t help but remind her dear niece to stay safe before letting Su Yuxin go.

Seeing Su Yuxin ride off, Wang Youbao then said to Wang Wenya, "This Yuxin is kind of like your mother." Not quite like a typical girl.

Wang Wenya laughed: "Luckily, there was something happening in the military camp that mother went there. If she had come along, she would surely quarrel with you upon hearing that."

Wang Youbao also laughed: "Anyway, it’s father who has to coax her, not you, so don’t worry. Let’s go. Yan’er is already seventeen, and it’s important to find her a good family sooner rather than later."

Yan’er is Wang Yan’er, Wang Youbao’s granddaughter, the daughter of Wang Youbao’s eldest son.

As Wang Wenya supported Wang Youbao toward the Wang Palace and Wang Hall, she smiled and said, "Yuxin is almost nineteen, yet my in-laws don’t seem anxious. As for you being the grandfather, brother as the father is not anxious, so why are you the one getting anxious? Father, girls nowadays marry late; it’s not like it used to be."

Wang Youbao smiled and said, "Father knows. It’s mainly because I’ve found one I think is quite suitable for Yan’er. It’s better to set things down early; otherwise, if someone else gets engaged first, it would be difficult to handle then."
