Chapter 417 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 39
This Yu Tan is indeed not simple!
Ruoxi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a bold idea exploded in her mind: Could it be that Yu Tan also came from a different time?
The idea grew like a weed, almost swallowing her up.
Ruoxi observed Yutan carefully. Her every smile, every move, all revealed an indescribable sense of familiarity. It felt like looking in a mirror, but not exactly the same.
Ruoxi recalled the confusion and panic that flashed across Yutan's clear eyes when she first entered the palace. That was something she couldn't fake. Her understanding of Kangxi and her familiarity with the palace rules were definitely not something an ordinary showgirl could achieve.
"Ruoxi, what's wrong with you?" Ruolan asked with concern when she saw Ruoxi's pale face.
Ruoxi came back to her senses and forced a smile: "Nothing, I just feel a little stuffy."
She didn't dare tell anyone about her guess, not even Ruolan, who was as close as a sister to her.
The atmosphere of the banquet became more and more lively, with music and singing and dancing. The concubines competed with each other in beauty, toasted and urged each other to drink, hoping to attract more attention from Kangxi. Kangxi accepted all the toasts, and after three rounds of drinks, he was already a little drunk.
Yutan was not a heavy drinker, but seeing Kangxi drinking one cup after another, she felt worried and drank a few cups as well.
"Your Majesty, please drink less." Yu Tan gently tugged at Kangxi's sleeve and advised in a low voice.
Kangxi looked down at Yutan, his eyes a little confused, and said with a smile: "Tan'er, are you feeling sorry for me?"
Yu Tan's cheeks turned red and she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at him.
"My beloved, you don't want to drink it. Do you think the wine is not good enough?" Kangxi said as he was about to pour himself another glass.
"No, I didn't..." Yu Tan hurriedly reached out to stop him, but accidentally touched Kangxi's hand.
Kangxi's fingers trembled slightly, and he held Yutan's hand with his backhand. A warmth came from his palm, making Yutan's heart beat wildly.
"Your Majesty..." Yu Tan wanted to pull her hand back, but Kangxi held it even tighter.
"Tan'er, have a drink with me." Kangxi said, and handed the wine glass in his hand to Yu Tan's lips.
Yu Tan had no choice but to drink the glass of wine.
The wine was very strong and after one glass, Yu Tan felt dizzy and everything in front of her eyes became blurry.
"Your Majesty, I... I feel a little uncomfortable..." Yu Tan's voice was soft and a little drunken.
Kangxi looked at Yutan, a sly smile flashing in his eyes.
"Are you drunk, my beloved concubine?" Kangxi said, reaching out to support Yutan's staggering body.
"Your Majesty...I...want to return to the palace..." Yu Tan leaned weakly in Kangxi's arms, murmured.
Kangxi looked down at the delicate person in his arms, and a hint of heat flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, I'll take you back to the palace now."
As Kangxi spoke, he picked up Yutan and carried her horizontally, then strode away from the banquet in the surprised gaze of everyone.
Kangxi returned to the Yangxin Palace drunkenly holding Yutan, attracting the attention of many palace servants.
"Your Majesty, please go slower..." Yu Tan felt a little uncomfortable being held by Kangxi, and reminded him in a low voice.
Yu Tan opened her eyes dazedly, and she smelled the best ambergris burning in the hall, mixed with a faint smell of alcohol, which made her feel even more dizzy.
"Tan'er, do you feel better?" Kangxi's low voice came to my ears, a little hoarse and a little doting.
Yu Tan tried hard to sit up, but found herself too weak all over. She could only lean softly in Kangxi's arms. Her pretty face was rosy, like a ripe peach, making people want to take a bite.
The smell of alcohol mixed with ambergris on Kangxi's body made Yu Tan even more dizzy. She tried hard to break free from Kangxi's arms, but he held her tighter.
"Tan'er, don't move." Kangxi's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of drunkenness, but also adding a bit of ambiguity.
His breath sprayed on Yutan's ears, making her feel itchy and numb. Yutan's heart was beating hard, she didn't dare to look up at Kangxi's eyes, she could only bury her face in his chest, trying to avoid his burning gaze.
"Your Majesty, you are drunk." Yu Tan's voice was very soft, brushing past Kangxi's ears like a feather, but it failed to blow away the deep drunkenness in his eyes.
Kangxi looked down at Yutan in his arms. Her cheeks were lightly pink, like peach blossoms blooming in spring, so beautiful that he couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her delicate skin with his fingertips, feeling the softness and warmth.
"Tan'er, what did you say?" Kangxi's voice was a little hoarse and still drunken.
Yutan took the opportunity to break free from Kangxi's arms, but he grabbed her wrist and brought her back into his arms.
"Your Majesty, you are drunk. You should rest."
She didn't want to encounter this again. Last night, she accidentally said "I'm afraid he's too tired", but she didn't expect that he would torment her even more.
Yu Tan wanted to get up, but found that her wrist was tightly grasped by Kangxi, and the force seemed to crush her. She frowned slightly and whispered in pain: "Your Majesty, you hurt me..."
Kangxi seemed to be suddenly awakened and quickly let go of his hand, and the confusion in his eyes also dissipated a little.
He looked at the red mark on Yu Tan's wrist that he had pinched, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, and there was a little unnoticeable panic in his tone: "I...I didn't mean it, Tan'er, are you okay?"
Yu Tan rubbed her wrist, shook her head gently, lowered her eyebrows, and replied in a gentle tone: "I am fine, Your Majesty, don't worry."
"Tan'er, I'll take you to take a bath..." Kangxi said, and was about to pick up Yu Tan and walk to the inner room. Yu Tan was shocked, thinking of the madness of last night, she didn't want to experience it again.
"Your Majesty, I can walk by myself." Yu Tan struggled to get down, but Kangxi held her too tightly and she couldn't move at all.
"Are you shy, my beloved?" Kangxi looked down at the person in his arms, his eyes full of teasing.
Yu Tan's face turned red with shame. She was not shy at all, she was clearly scared!
"Your Majesty, I can really walk by myself." Yu Tan's voice was as thin as a mosquito, with a barely perceptible tremor.
Kangxi didn't care and carried her straight into the inner room.
……
Kangxi came out of the inner room holding Yutan. The little girl was only wearing one of his bright yellow nightgown loosely on her body, revealing a large area of snow-white skin. A few strands of wet hair stuck to her cheeks, making her look even more pitiful.
He gently placed Yu Tan on the bed, looked at her blushing face, and couldn't help but lower his head and peck the corner of her lips.
Kangxi also lay down next to Yutan. He still had a moist scent from bathing, mixed with the smell of ambergris, which enveloped Yutan in an ambiguous atmosphere.
"Tan'er, are you happy today?" Kangxi asked gently, stroking Yu Tan's cheek with his slender fingers, his eyes full of anticipation.
