Chapter 427 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 49

Yu Tan couldn't hold back her tears any more, and they rolled down one by one. She choked and said, "The child... the child is so ugly, what will happen in the future...?"

Seeing her crying, Kangxi didn't bother to tease her anymore. He immediately hugged her in his arms and comforted her softly, "Silly girl, all babies are like this when they are just born. It will be fine after a few days of growth."

Yu Tan cried even more sadly. She cried and said intermittently: "But...but...he looks..."

Kangxi was stunned for a moment, then he realized that this girl was disgusted by the fact that the child looked like him.

He couldn't help but want to laugh. It was already this time, and she still cared about these things.

He deliberately put on a stern face and asked in a deep voice: "I was not good-looking when I was a child. If you dislike him, then wouldn't I be disliked by you too?"

Yu Tan raised her head, looked at Kangxi with tearful eyes, and said aggrievedly: "But...but you are the emperor, how can the emperor be the same as ordinary people?"

Kangxi was amused by her confident words. He scratched Yutan's nose and said with a smile: "In my heart, you are more important than anything else. It would be best if my child looks like you."

Yu Tan burst into laughter. She gently stroked the child's cheek and said softly, "Really? Then... will he be as good-looking as me?"

Kangxi looked at her with eyes full of doting. He nodded and said, "Of course, you are so beautiful. If the child looks like you, he will definitely be a handsome man in the future."

Yu Tan finally felt relieved. She looked down at the child in her arms, her eyes full of love.

Kangxi looked at the scene and felt soft in his heart.

"Tan'er." Kangxi held Yutan's hand and said softly, "I will treat you and the child well."

Yutan raised her head and looked into Kangxi's deep eyes, feeling a sweet feeling in her heart. She knew that she had made the right bet.

Yutan gently stroked the child's cheek. The child seemed to feel the warmth of the mother. His little mouth moved slightly and made a subtle "hmm" sound.

"Your Majesty, look, he seems to be smiling at me!" Yu Tan looked at Kangxi happily, her eyes and brows filled with the joy of being a new mother.

Kangxi looked at the scene of the deep love between mother and child, and a warm current surged in his heart. He gently held Yutan's hand and said softly: "Tan'er, the child has no name yet, you come to give it."

"Me?" Yu Tan was flattered, her beautiful eyes widened.

"This... How can this be possible? The name must be chosen by you."

Kangxi shook his head and insisted: "You are the child's mother, so you are naturally the most qualified to name him. I believe that you will definitely give the child a good name."

Seeing that Kangxi was so persistent, Yu Tan stopped refusing. She lowered her head and thought for a moment. Various poems and allusions emerged in her mind, but she still couldn't find a suitable word.

Kangxi saw that she was frowning, as if she had encountered a problem, so he smiled and asked, "Why, are you in trouble?"

"I can't think of it..."

"In that case, I will give the child a name."

Kangxi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "This child was born in a prosperous era. I hope that he can be as steady as a rock and soar like a dragon in the future. Let's call him Yinzhen."

Yu Tan's heart suddenly skipped a beat and her shock was beyond words.

Being given a name by the Emperor was a great honor, but the word "禘"...she really couldn't accept it.

"Your Majesty." Yu Tan mustered up her courage, bit her lower lip, and hesitated to speak: "Is the word '禘'... too much..."

Kangxi saw that she looked troubled and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why? Tan'er doesn't like it?"

Yu Tan quickly shook her head and explained: "I dare not. But the word '禘' is often used in the rituals of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth and ancestral temples, so I am afraid it is inappropriate..."

Kangxi didn't care and waved his hand: "I am the Son of Heaven, what's wrong with using the word '禘'? I just want to tell the world that I like this child very much!"

"But... isn't this name too flashy?" Yu Tan bit her lip, feeling nervous.

Seeing Yutan's embarrassment, Kangxi held her in his arms, gently stroked her cascading hair, and explained softly, "Tan'er, you don't know. The word '禘' has been used since ancient times to represent the emperor offering sacrifices to heaven, implying supreme status and power. I gave my child this name to tell the world that he is my most beloved prince and will inherit the throne in the future."

Yu Tan felt even more uneasy after hearing this. She knew that Kangxi had many sons, all of whom were eyeing the throne. Now that Kangxi had given their child such a flashy name, it would undoubtedly put him at the center of public opinion and he would definitely become the target of public criticism in the future.

Ruoxi stood aside, feeling mixed emotions as she watched Kangxi dote on Yutan and her son.

Surprise, confusion, bewilderment, all these emotions intertwined together, making her almost forget to breathe. This scene was very different from the history she was familiar with.

Kangxi's favor for Yutan far exceeded the favor of an emperor for his concubine, and was more like a deep obsession. And Kangxi's naming of the prince "Yinzhen" was unheard of.

What is the hidden story behind this? Ruoxi tried hard to recall every bit of history, but could not find any clues.

She couldn't help but secretly look at Yu Tan. She had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, a cold temperament, but also a hint of indescribable fragility that made people want to protect her.

Could this be the reason why Kangxi was so obsessed with her?

The more Ruoxi thought about it, the more incredible it seemed to her. She felt as if she was in a huge puzzle, unable to see the direction or find the exit.

“But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince…” Yu Tan hesitated to speak, her brows furrowed. The word “Yinzhen” was clearly a challenge to the position of the Crown Prince. How could she feel at ease?

"What happened to the crown prince? Does the position of crown prince have to belong to him, Yinreng? I am not dead yet!"

There was a chill in Kangxi's words. Yu Tan could clearly feel the anger emanating from him, like a sleeping lion whose reverse scale had been angered.

These days, Yinreng became more and more presumptuous. Relying on Kangxi's favor, he repeatedly contradicted ministers in the court and even dared to openly disobey Kangxi.

Kangxi took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a cold tone: "Tan'er, you don't know that I have been increasingly unable to see through Baocheng these days."

Yu Tan was shocked and did not dare to interrupt. She just snuggled quietly in Kangxi's arms, listening to his voice.

"Over the years, I have prided myself on treating him well and devoting all my efforts to training him, but what about him? Not only has he not made any progress, but he has become more arrogant, domineering and self-willed." Kangxi's tone was full of disappointment and fatigue.
