Chapter 462 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 84
Kangxi looked down at the person in his arms, his eyes full of doting: "I was thinking that after returning to the capital, I should grant the marriage to the Eighth Brother and Ruoxi."
Yu Tan heard this, although she felt reluctant, she still responded obediently: "Ruoxi is gentle and kind, and the Eighth Prince is gentle and elegant. The two of them are really a match made in heaven."
As for the fact that the Fourteenth Prince secretly left the capital to meet the Eighth Prince, as well as Yinreng's secret rivalry with them, they had nothing to do with Yutan.
During their time outside the Great Wall, Yutan and Kangxi became more and more like an ordinary couple.
Without the constraints of the Forbidden City, Kangxi seemed to have unloaded the burden of being an emperor and turned into an ordinary man, riding a horse, hunting with a bow, and enjoying the freedom of the grassland.
And Yutan, like a light swallow, accompanies him and soothes the unknown fatigue in Kangxi's heart with her gentle and meticulous care.
Kangxi was in a good mood and ordered people to prepare wine and food, intending to enjoy this rare leisure time on the grassland with Yutan.
The roasted whole lamb sent by the Mongolian prince exuded an alluring aroma. Yu Tan personally filled a glass of mare's milk for Kangxi and said with a sweet smile, "Your Majesty, please try this wine from the grassland. It is much stronger than the wine in the palace."
Kangxi took the wine glass with a smile and drank it all. Looking at Yutan's delicate appearance, his heart moved. He stretched out his hand and pulled her to sit beside him: "I see, the scenery on this grassland is nourishing. Your little face is more beautiful than the flowers on this grassland."
Yu Tan blushed, gently hit Kangxi's shoulder, and said angrily: "Your Majesty always makes fun of me."
The night sky outside the Great Wall was dotted with stars, like broken diamonds dotting the dark blue curtain. The crackling bonfire illuminated the surroundings, reflecting Kangxi's good mood.
He was so excitedly planning what he would do after returning to Beijing that he didn't notice that Yu Tan's expression was gradually becoming a little unnatural.
She put down the wine glass in her hand, frowned slightly, covered her mouth and coughed a few times.
"What's wrong? Did you catch a cold?" Kangxi asked with concern, putting the back of his hand on Yutan's forehead, but she gently dodged it.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine. Maybe I was a little sick of the roast lamb just now." Yu Tan forced a smile, but it couldn't hide the discomfort in her eyes.
Kangxi's fingertips gently rested on Yutan's wrist, and a familiar beating came, but it was stronger and more powerful than before, as if two hearts were beating at the same time.
He was startled, this was clearly... a pulse of pregnancy!
"Tan'er, you..." Kangxi's voice trembled a little. He looked at Yutan in disbelief, his eyes full of ecstasy and a hint of panic.
Kangxi's voice was trembling with excitement. He hugged Yutan into his arms, his tone full of disbelief and ecstasy: "Tan'er, you, you are pregnant again!"
Yu Tan was originally in a daze, but when she heard these words, she suddenly woke up. She widened her eyes in disbelief and subconsciously reached out to cover her lower abdomen. There seemed to be a strange power brewing there.
"Your Majesty, what did you say?" Yu Tan's voice trembled a little, and she could hardly believe her ears.
Kangxi's beard was shaking with excitement. He hugged Yutan into his arms with such force that he almost crushed her.
Yu Tan was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe. Her face flushed red as she spoke incoherently, "Your Majesty...I am...going to be strangled to death by you..."
Kangxi then realized that he had lost his composure and quickly let go of her hand. He looked Yutan up and down nervously, fearing that his reckless behavior would hurt her and the baby in her belly.
"Tan Er, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Yu Tan touched her chest and spoke after a long while: "I am fine... Your Majesty... You scared me."
Kangxi's old face turned red and he touched his nose embarrassedly, but what followed was even greater joy.
He grasped Yu Tan's hand, his eyes shining with a strange light: "I'm going to have a child, and I'm going to have another baby as cute as you!"
Yu Tan looked at the man in front of her who was nearly fifty years old, dancing like a young boy, his face filled with undisguised joy.
Kangxi thought back to when Yutan struggled in agony in the delivery room for a whole day and night when she gave birth to Yinzhen. The heart-wrenching screams seemed to still echo in his ears, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.
He held Yu Tan's face in his hands, with a hint of worry and fear in his tone: "Tan'er, you are weak. The last time you gave birth to Yinzhen, you almost..."
Kangxi did not continue speaking, but his unfinished words were like needles that pierced Yutan's heart. She knew that Kangxi was worried about her, the baby in her belly, and even more worried that she would have a close call with death like last time.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will take good care of myself and the child." Yu Tan gently held Kangxi's hand and comforted him softly.
Kangxi’s words warmed Yutan’s heart. She snuggled in Kangxi’s arms, feeling his strong heartbeat, as if it was the most beautiful melody in the world.
"Tan'er, don't worry, I will arrange it right away. I will invite the best imperial physician. No, I want to learn it myself, especially in the area of women and children. I will take good care of you and the child and will never let you suffer again." Kangxi's tone was firm, as if he had made a major decision.
Yu Tan was shocked when she heard this, and quickly tried to dissuade him, "Your Majesty is worth a fortune, how can you do such rough work? There are so many doctors in the Imperial Hospital, just pick one."
Kangxi shook his head, with a hint of stubbornness in his eyes: "No, I don't trust others, I want to come in person."
"Okay, I'll listen to your Majesty! So does your Majesty want a little princess or a little prince?"
Kangxi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. He picked up Yutan and whispered in her ear: "I want a little princess as smart as Tan'er, to make a good match with Yinzhen. What do you think?"
"Isn't it my concubine's decision?"
"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing. Whether you have a boy or a girl is determined by fate. I just said it casually."
Kangxi smiled and scratched Yutan's nose, saying lovingly: "However, I believe that no matter whether it is a man or a woman, there must be someone as smart and lovely as you."
Yu Tan laughed secretly in her heart, this Kangxi is really a daughter slave.
Kangxi decided to postpone his return to Beijing and stay in the grassland for another month, which made the women in the harem who were looking forward to it feel disappointed.
As soon as Kangxi left, Princess Minmin opened the curtain and rushed in hurriedly.
"Sister Yutan, I heard that you are pregnant again? This is such a great joy!" Princess Minmin's big eyes were sparkling, as if they were filled with stars.
"My dear sister, you are so lucky! The feng shui of this grassland is good for nurturing people. It hasn't been long since you became pregnant with a dragon seed!"
