Chapter 404 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 26
"Tell me again, what did you say?"
Yu Tan gently pushed Kangxi away, looked him straight in the eyes, and said word by word with great clarity: "I said, Xuanye, I don't like him, and I won't in the future."
Kangxi was stunned. He had never thought that the answer he had been looking for would be so simple and clear.
He always thought that Yu Tan always had Lao Jiu in her heart, which was why she was so distant towards him and tried to test him in every way.
"Are you... serious?" Kangxi's voice trembled slightly. He wanted to believe Yutan's words, but he was afraid that it was just a dream.
Yutan looked at the anxiety and expectation in Kangxi's eyes, and her heart softened.
She took the initiative to reach out her hand, gently stroked Kangxi's cheek, and said softly: "Xuanye, what I said is true. Maybe it happened before, but I have let it go. It doesn't happen now, and it won't happen in the future."
Kangxi grasped Yutan's hand with his backhand and held her tightly in his palm, as if he wanted to rub her into his own bones and blood.
"Tan Er, you don't know how happy I am, I..." Kangxi was so excited that he was incoherent. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. Thousands of words finally turned into a passionate kiss on Yu Tan's lips.
This kiss, carrying Kangxi's long suppressed desire and love, was overbearing yet gentle, as if it wanted to melt Yu Tan's entire body in his arms.
After an unknown amount of time, Kangxi reluctantly let go of Yutan. He pressed his hand against Yutan's forehead and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Tan'er, do you...do you have me...in your heart?"
Yu Tan's heart trembled when she heard this. She raised her eyes and looked into Kangxi's deep eyes. The emotions surging in those eyes made her unable to escape.
Kangxi's love was passionate and sincere, but she knew clearly in her heart that her feelings for Kangxi were more of gratitude and dependence rather than love between a man and a woman.
She once thought that the Ninth Prince was everything to her, and that he was the one she would follow for the rest of her life. But reality gave her a hard slap in the face, allowing her to see the true face of the Ninth Prince, and also made her understand that the love of the imperial family was ultimately a mirage.
Now, Kangxi took great care of her and promised her a lifetime of honor and favor. What else could she not be satisfied with?
What's more, in the harem, which woman can resist the emperor's deep affection?
"Hmm? Good Tan'er, tell me."
Yu Tan bit her lower lip gently, lowering her eyes, and her cheeks were red with shyness, like a peach blossom about to bloom, delicate and beautiful. She nodded gently, her voice as soft as a mosquito, almost inaudible: "Hmm... a little bit."
Yu Tan's answer was like a spring breeze blowing through Kangxi's heart, dispelling the haze that had been accumulating in his heart for a long time. He was ecstatic and hugged her tightly in his arms.
"How much is a little bit? Hmm?" Kangxi's deep voice sounded beside Yutan's ears, with a hint of urgency and expectation. He was eager to get an answer like a young boy, without any imperial dignity.
Yutan felt a little embarrassed by his burning gaze, and she gently pushed Kangxi's chest.
Kangxi was not willing to comply. He gently lifted Yu Tan's chin with his fingertips, forcing her to look at him. "Tan Er, look at me and tell me, how much is a little bit in your heart?"
Yu Tan's heart trembled when she saw his domineering yet gentle eyes. She avoided Kangxi's burning gaze and bit her lower lip lightly, as if she was thinking or hesitating.
"Just a little bit, just..." Yu Tan deliberately prolonged her voice, and looking at Kangxi's increasingly nervous expression, she smiled cunningly.
"A little bit means a little more than a little bit, a little more than a lot."
"You little devil!" Kangxi was amused by her mysterious words. He bit Yutan's earlobe lightly as a punishment.
"See how I deal with you!"
Having said that, Kangxi picked up Yutan and strode towards the bedroom.
"Your Majesty, please be gentle..." Yu Tan cried out softly, and subconsciously put her arms around Kangxi's neck, her cheeks blushing so much that it seemed like blood could drip out.
Inside the bedroom, red candles flickered, curtains hung low, and an ambiguous atmosphere permeated the air.
Kangxi's passion was like a raging fire, almost devouring Yutan. She was powerless to resist and could only let him do whatever he wanted.
The next morning, when Yutan woke up, Kangxi had already left. She rubbed her aching waist, feeling mixed emotions.
"Master, are you awake?" The palace maid Xiaohuan came in with a basin of water. Seeing that Yutan had woken up, she hurried forward to serve him.
"Yeah." Yu Tan took the towel and wiped her face gently.
"Master, you look so good today. Look at your face, it's as pink as a peach." Xiaohuan said with a smile.
Yutan glared at her, and Xiaohuan stuck out her tongue, not daring to say anything more.
In a blink of an eye, the birthday of the tenth prince Yinzhen was approaching, and Emperor Kangxi specially issued an edict to give the right to organize the birthday banquet to the eighth prince Yinsi.
On the birthday of the tenth prince, Yu Tan got up early. She carefully traced her eyebrows in front of the bronze mirror, but in her mind she was thinking about how to start the conversation.
"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Yu Tan's voice was soft and gentle, as pleasant to the ear as an oriole.
The birthday banquet of the tenth prince Yinzhen was held at the residence of the eighth prince. Yutan started making a fuss early in the morning and insisted on going with Kangxi.
"Your Majesty, please take me with you. I promise that I will just watch from a distance and will never cause any trouble." Yu Tan pulled Kangxi's sleeve, her voice as soft as a coquettish cat.
Kangxi was still hesitant at first, thinking that it was somewhat inappropriate to bring Yutan to such an occasion, but when he saw her cute and naive appearance, his defenses collapsed instantly.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you there, you annoying little goblin." Kangxi scratched Yutan's nose lovingly, with a smile in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tan immediately smiled like a cat that had stolen some fish.
When she arrived at the Eighth Prince's residence, Yu Tan discovered that the Tenth Prince's birthday party was quite lively.
However, Kangxi and Yutan only brought Li Dequan and some secret guards, and did not alert anyone else.
"How is it? Does Tan'er like it?" Kangxi asked with a smile when he saw Yu Tan staring at her.
"I like it, of course I like it, it's just..." Yu Tan deliberately prolonged her voice, her eyes rolling around, and I wonder what she was up to.
"What is it?" Kangxi asked with interest.
"There are just too many people here. I feel a little dizzy." Yu Tan said, pretending to rub her temples, looking weak and unable to take care of herself.
Kangxi could see through her little thoughts. It was obvious that this girl was annoyed by the crowds and wanted to find a quiet place to play freely.
"You little clever girl, what bad ideas are you coming up with now?" Kangxi smiled and tapped her forehead.
