Chapter 429 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 51

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to the emperor!" Although Yu Tan agreed, she was secretly complaining in her heart. This old emperor is getting more and more dishonest as he gets older!

"Since Tan'er has agreed, she can never leave me. Do you know how scared I was when you gave birth yesterday?"

There was a tremor in Kangxi's words, and Yutan's shadow was reflected in his deep eyes, as if he wanted to suck her in. Yutan could feel the sincerity in his words, which was different from the majesty of an emperor, but the most primitive fear and worry of a man for his beloved woman.

She gently put her arms around Kangxi's waist and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, I am fine, right? Look, our little prince was born safely, so don't worry."

Kangxi held Yutan's hand and stroked it gently, as if he was touching a rare treasure.

"How can I be at ease? I will never forget the pain you felt during childbirth. I am so scared. I wish I could be the one to suffer in your place!"

How could Yu Tan not feel Kangxi's true feelings? This man, always an eagle in the sky, when did he reveal such a fragile expression?

She gently held Kangxi's hand and said softly, "Your Majesty, I am fine, right? You are the emperor, you can't say the word 'fear' so easily."

Kangxi pulled Yutan's hand to his lips and kissed it gently, with complex emotions surging in his deep eyes: "I am not afraid of being ridiculed by the world, I am only afraid..."

Yu Tan pretended to be relaxed and smiled, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will accompany you to watch our little prince grow up and watch the Qing Dynasty become strong forever."

Kangxi was amused by her words, and the haze in his heart dissipated a lot: "You are just sweet-talking, and you are always good at making me happy."

"I am speaking the truth!"

Yu Tan blinked her eyes and said cunningly, "Your Majesty, I hope you live a long life. Otherwise, I will be very lonely in this deep palace alone."

Kangxi scratched Yutan's nose lovingly and said, "You always try to stop me with words."

As he spoke, he took Yu Tan into his arms, his tone domineering yet gentle: "I promise you that I will live well and accompany you, watching our children grow up, watching this Qing dynasty be passed down from generation to generation."

"Your Majesty's words are golden, I will remember them." Yu Tan leaned on Kangxi's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and an unprecedented peace surged in her heart.

The two of them slept in each other's arms, having a dreamless night.

Early the next morning, Kangxi got up early to handle government affairs. Before leaving, he did not forget to carefully tuck in the corners of the quilt for Yutan.

In the Golden Palace, civil and military officials bowed their heads and stood in silence, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Kangxi.

"The Emperor has arrived—" The eunuch's shrill voice cut through the morning silence, and everyone knelt down in unison: "Long live the Emperor!"

Kangxi, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, walked up to the Golden Throne Hall with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. He glanced majestically at the ministers below and slowly said, "All the ministers, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"If there is something to do, start the court, if there is nothing to do, leave the court -"

"I have this note!"

The Minister of Revenue, Wang Chongli, stood up tremblingly, with fear written all over his old face.

"I want to report the emperor's favorite concubine, Yu Tan, for seducing the emperor. Now that she has given birth to a prince, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the country!"

As soon as Wang Chongli said this, there was an uproar in the Golden Palace.

"Lord Wang is wrong!" Another voice sounded, and it was Nalan Mingzhu, who was usually taciturn, who stood up.

"The Imperial Concubine is gentle and virtuous, and giving birth to a prince is a great deed. How can you say that she has seduced the Emperor? In my opinion, Lord Wang is getting old and confused. How dare he discuss the Emperor's family affairs here!"

"you!"

Wang Chongli was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, pointing at Nalan Mingzhu's nose and scolded: "You old bastard, you..."

"enough!"

Kangxi slammed the dragon chair and shouted angrily: "Wang Chongli, as the Minister of Revenue, you don't think about sharing the country's worries, but dare to stir up trouble and sow discord in the court. What crime should you be punished for?!"

Wang Chongli was so frightened that he fell to his knees, trembling all over: "Your Majesty, spare my life. I... I know I was wrong..."

Kangxi looked at him coldly, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to his usual calmness, but his tone left no room for doubt: "I will tell you today that Yu Tan is gentle and virtuous, and she is deeply in my heart. I have decided..."

He paused, glanced at the trembling ministers below, and said word by word: "Appoint Yu Tan as the Imperial Noble Consort!"

As soon as Kangxi said this, the crowd immediately exploded. Wang Chongli was so frightened that his face turned pale and he kept shouting, "Your Majesty, don't do this!"

"Why not?" Kangxi looked intimidating without getting angry, and glanced at his ministers with a sharp gaze.

"Yutan gave birth to a prince and expanded the royal family. Shouldn't she be rewarded?"

“But Your Majesty, this goes against the ancestral rules! What’s more…” Wang Chongli wanted to say something else, but was frightened by Kangxi’s sharp eyes and swallowed his words back.

"I have made up my mind. Anyone who dares to say no will be killed like this thing!" Kangxi said as he pulled off the hat on Li Dequan's head, threw it on the ground and stomped on it. The thing instantly broke into pieces, scaring all the ministers into silence.

Li Dequan: …

Seeing this, Nalan Mingzhu stepped out and said, "Your Majesty is wise! The Imperial Concubine is gentle and virtuous, and she has made an invaluable contribution to the birth of the prince. She deserves to be named Imperial Concubine!"

With Nalan Mingzhu taking the lead, other ministers followed suit. Wang Chongli could only kneel on the ground in shame, not daring to say anything more.

"Retreat!"

Kangxi gave an order and left, leaving the civil and military officials in the court looking at each other in bewilderment.

Kangxi hurried back, his usually steady steps revealing a hint of urgency. He kept replaying the scenes in the court in his mind, and he could still hear Wang Chongli's harsh voice.

"Charming the Holy Heart", "harmful to the country" ... These words were like poisonous thorns piercing his heart, making him burn with anger.

He would never allow anyone to slander his Yu Tan!

What do those old stubborn people know? They only know how to stick to the rules, but they can't see Yu Tan's kindness and gentleness.

Only someone with a clear mind like Mingzhu can understand his intentions.

Thinking that Yutan would soon be named Imperial Noble Consort and share the world's honor with him, Kangxi couldn't help but smile.

He wanted to let those who had looked down on Yu Tan and even wanted to kill her see how much he valued her! He wanted the entire harem, and even the world, to know that Yu Tan was his only true love!

"Your Majesty, please slow down and be careful of your step..." Li Dequan trotted behind Kangxi, reminding him from time to time.

It was the first time he saw the emperor lose his composure like this, and he thought it was because of the imperial concubine.
