Chapter 435 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 57
The Thirteenth Prince smiled slightly and replied in Mongolian: "Princess's dance is also beautiful."
Upon hearing this, Princess Minmin was stunned at first, but then she reacted and asked in surprise, "Master Thirteen can speak our Mongolian language?"
The Thirteenth Prince nodded and said in fluent Mongolian: "I lived on the grassland for a while, so I learned a little."
When Princess Minmin heard the Thirteenth Prince admit it himself, she was even more delighted, and her eyes looked at the Thirteenth Prince with a little more intimacy. She chatted with the Thirteenth Prince for a few more words, and then continued to toast for others.
When Kangxi saw that Princess Minmin and the Thirteenth Prince were having a pleasant conversation, he nodded secretly in his heart.
Kangxi turned his head to look at Yutan beside him, only to see her holding her chin, watching Princess Minmin interacting with everyone with interest, with curiosity flashing in her eyes.
Kangxi's heart moved, and he asked softly, "Does Tan'er think this princess is interesting?"
Yutan came back to her senses, turned to look at Kangxi, smiled slightly and said, "This princess is passionate and innocent. She is very different from those well-behaved women in the palace. Naturally, I find her very interesting." The princess raised the silver cup filled with kumis in her hand, and looked straight at Yinxiang with her big watery eyes, her eyes full of expectation.
Kangxi's fingers, which were originally smiling faintly, paused. Yutan's words were like a tiny thorn that gently pierced his heart.
Interesting? Did this little girl think that he, the emperor, was too boring?
Kangxi was unhappy in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface. He just tightened his grip on Yutan's fingers unconsciously.
Yu Tan felt her waist tighten, Kangxi's hand was like an iron clamp, making her a little breathless. She frowned slightly in pain, but didn't understand why Kangxi suddenly used so much force.
Kangxi was shocked to see Yutan in pain, and then he realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly let go of her hand and asked casually, "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
Yu Tan shook her head and said softly, "I'm fine. I may have been sitting for too long and feel a little tired."
Kangxi naturally didn't believe Yutan's words. He knew that his actions just now frightened her. He was secretly annoyed that this little girl was getting better and better at understanding his thoughts and actually made him lose his composure in public.
Kangxi felt aggrieved, but couldn't say it out loud.
He was the king of a country, but he was outshined by a little princess. Wouldn't people laugh their heads off if this got out?
But this Yu Tan is really hateful. Why did he praise Princess Minmin for her "innocence" when there are so many people he could praise? In his eyes, I have become a wooden person who doesn't understand romance?
He glanced at Yu Tan and saw that her bright eyes were curiously staring at the people singing and dancing in the venue, and she didn't notice his unhappiness at all.
Kangxi felt even more upset. Doesn't this little girl really care about his feelings?
"If Tan'er likes her, I will marry her to Thirteen, how about that?" Kangxi lowered his voice with a barely perceptible sourness in his tone.
Yu Tan was stunned when she heard this, and turned to look at Kangxi, but saw that his expression was normal, as if he had just said it casually.
She wondered why the emperor suddenly wanted to assign Princess Minmin to the Thirteenth Master? Was it to win over Mongolia?
"Your Majesty, you are joking. I just thought that this princess is straightforward and different from the other girls in the palace, so I took a few more glances at her. Your Majesty, please don't think too much about it." Yu Tan explained hurriedly, fearing that Kangxi would really assign Princess Minmin to the Thirteenth Prince.
"Oh? Then Tan'er, which women in the palace do you think are different from the others?" Kangxi was relentless and insisted on getting some information out of Yu Tan's mouth.
"Your Majesty is joking."
She chuckled, her tone a little nonchalant: "Princess Minmin is innocent and naive, so she naturally wants to find a husband who is as carefree as she is. The Thirteenth Master is a man of both literary and military skills, and he will surely make a difference in the court in the future. As for the backyard, it is natural that we need a virtuous woman who can share the worries and troubles for her husband."
Kangxi could hear the hidden meaning in Yutan's words. This little girl was trying to say in a roundabout way that Thirteen was not worthy of Princess Minmin.
Kangxi smiled helplessly. What else could he do? This little girl, on the surface, seemed docile and obedient, but in fact, she was very cunning, and he just fell for it.
"Forget it, you always say nice things with your little mouth." Kangxi touched Yutan's nose lovingly, his tone full of helplessness and indulgence.
Of course he knew what Yu Tan meant. Although the Thirteenth Prince was good, he was not a good match for Princess Minmin.
The little girl's seemingly casual words were actually a reminder to him not to ruin the lifelong happiness of his two children because of a momentary impulse.
Kangxi sighed inwardly. He had seen all kinds of people in his life, but he was completely bewitched by this little girl and was willing to give up the entire forest for her.
His Tan'er is really sharp-tongued. She said in a roundabout way that Thirteen is not worthy of Princess Minmin.
He stretched out his hand and pinched Yu Tan's cheek, pretending to be angry and said: "Your little mouth is getting better and better. I think you deserve to be punished."
Yu Tan was pinched on the cheek by him, and her words were a little unclear: "Your Majesty... your concubine... um..."
Seeing her like this, Kangxi found it even more amusing, so he let go of her hand and scratched her nose lovingly: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. What are you thinking about in your little head all day long?"
Yu Tan rubbed her red cheeks and said coquettishly, "How dare I think of anything? I am just telling the truth."
"Tell me the truth?" Kangxi raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile: "Then tell me, in your little head, what kind of woman is worthy of Thirteen?"
Yu Tan's eyes turned slightly, and she thought to herself that the emperor was teasing her.
If she were to say that she was a lady from a well-off family, well-educated and well-mannered, then she would be inferior and would appear to have no vision.
But if she is the Jade Girl, gentle and lovely, she seems petty and not presentable.
She rolled her eyes, and a plan came to her mind. A sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she whispered in Kangxi's ear: "Your Majesty, I think that the woman who can match the Thirteenth Master must be that..."
She deliberately prolonged her voice to whet Kangxi's appetite.
Kangxi was so aroused by her actions that he could not wait any longer. This little girl was really getting better and better at understanding his thoughts. He hugged her in his arms and asked in a low voice, "What is it?"
Yu Tan felt his hot breath spraying on her ears, her body trembled slightly, but she pretended to be calm, leaned close to his ear, exhaled sweetly and said: "It's that... the woman who can make Thirteenth Master willing to give everything for her."
Kangxi was stunned when he heard this, and then he burst into laughter. This little girl is really clever, and it’s like saying nothing.
