Chapter 394 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 16
Kangxi was reviewing memorials and looked up at Yutan from time to time. Seeing her lowered brows and submissive look, his heart softened.
"Yutan, come here." Kangxi put down the memorial in his hand and waved to Yutan.
Yu Tan followed the instructions and walked to Kangxi's side, bowing slightly: "What do you want, Your Majesty?"
Kangxi held Yutan's hand, pulled her to sit next to him, and said softly, "I told you not to be so polite."
Yutan was a little overwhelmed by Kangxi's sudden intimacy and could only let him hold her hand.
"Yutan, you have followed me for some time. Have you ever regretted it?" Kangxi asked casually while playing with Yutan's white fingers.
Yutan's heart trembled. Was Kangxi testing her?
She lowered her eyes, hiding the complex emotions in them, and said respectfully: "It is my blessing to serve the emperor, and I have never regretted it."
"Be good, when you grow up a little more, I will choose a title for you. I will have to put up with Yu Tan for the rest of the days..."
Kangxi's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Yutan's ears.
Ban her? Are they planning to include her in the harem?
The emperor has many women, but few of them can be given titles and enter the harem.
"Your Majesty, you are joking. I am of humble status, how dare I ask for a title." Yu Tan suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and tried to maintain a calm tone.
Kangxi looked at Yutan's lowered eyes and understood. This girl was belittling herself again.
He reached out and gently lifted Yu Tan's chin, forcing her to look at him.
"In my heart, you are different from others." Kangxi's eyes were scorching, as if to melt Yu Tan.
"I have made a promise. If I say I will give you a title, I will definitely do it."
Yutan's heart was beating wildly. She wanted to avoid Kangxi's burning gaze, but he held her tightly in his arms.
"Your Majesty..." Yu Tan's voice was as thin as a mosquito. She didn't know how to refuse Kangxi's "kindness".
"Be good, don't be afraid." Kangxi held Yutan tightly in his arms, his tone as gentle as if he was treating a fragile treasure.
"I will treat you well and will not let you suffer any injustice."
In the study room of the Eighth Master's residence, a secret letter was delivered to Yinsi. The letter was secretly sent by Yin'er's confidant. Between the lines, Yin'er complained about Kangxi, hated Yutan, and of course, asked for help from his brother.
After reading the letter, Yinsi curled up his lips into a sneer and threw the letter into the brazier beside him, letting it turn to ashes.
"Master, Master Jiu has been badly harmed by Yu Tan this time. Are we really going to just stand by and watch?" A trusted guard at the side asked in a low voice.
"Save? What can he give in exchange?" Yinsi played with the jade ring in his hand with an indifferent tone.
"Laojiu has always thought highly of himself. This time he hit a wall. It's his own fault."
"But..." The guard wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Yinsi's eyes.
"Okay, the Ninth Prince is a prince after all, and with Concubine Yi here, he will be fine. There is no need to mention his affairs anymore. We have more important things to do." Yinsi stood up, walked to the window, looked in the direction of the Forbidden City, a gleam of light in his eyes.
……
Inside the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi sat upright, listening to the crying of the tenth prince Yinzhen, his brows furrowed.
"Father Your Majesty, Ninth Brother was confused for a moment! Please forgive him this time!" Yinzhen knelt on the ground, begging bitterly with tears in his eyes.
Kangxi looked at his son, who had always been heartless, and was now so humble for Yinzhen, and he felt mixed emotions.
"Confused? When has Yinzhen ever not been confused?" Kangxi snorted coldly and slammed the memorial in his hand heavily on the table.
"He colluded with court officials and formed a clique for personal gain. Does he still have me as his father?"
Kangxi's angry words frightened Yinzhen so much that he trembled. He cursed Yinzhen for being stupid in his heart, and continued to plead for Yinzhen: "Father, my ninth brother was just bewildered for a moment, so he did such a foolish thing. For the sake of his filial piety to you, Father, please forgive him this time!"
Yinzhen's cries were buzzing in Kangxi's ears. He waved his hands impatiently: "Enough! I'm not dead yet, and you are all rushing to plead for your brothers! The matter of the ninth brother will be discussed later!"
Yinzhen cried until he was hoarse, but Kangxi was upset listening to him.
He stood up suddenly and waved his hand impatiently: "Enough! Everyone, retreat! I'm tired!"
Yin Xi wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Li Dequan, who whispered, "Master Shi, the emperor is not feeling well. You'd better not make him angry again."
Yinzhen had no choice but to leave the Qianqing Palace, looking back every few steps.
Kangxi rubbed his brows tiredly and said to Li Dequan, "Go, call Yutan."
Only when he is with Yu Tan can he feel a moment of peace and relaxation.
Li Dequan bowed his head and said yes, but he secretly complained in his heart. Ever since the emperor met Yutan, the harem has been in complete chaos. The concubines in the harem were all gnashing their teeth in hatred, but the emperor was like a possessed person, and he had set his sights on Yutan.
Soon, Yu Tan came in. She was wearing a light pink cheongsam, which made her skin look as white as snow and as tender as water.
As soon as Kangxi saw Yutan, his originally gloomy expression suddenly softened a little.
His tone was so gentle that water could drip out: "Yutan, why are you so free today? Come and talk to me."
Yu Tan approached Kangxi, bowed, and said softly, "Your Majesty has summoned me, but what do you want me to do?"
Kangxi held Yutan's hand, pulled her to sit next to him, patted his thigh, and motioned Yutan to sit up.
Yu Tan's face flashed with embarrassment, but she still sat on Kangxi's lap obediently. The smell of ambergris mixed with the smell of male hormones on Kangxi's body made Yu Tan feel a little uncomfortable.
Kangxi seemed not to notice Yutan's embarrassment. He put his arms around her waist, buried his head in her neck, and took a deep breath.
"The smell of Yutan really fascinates me." Kangxi's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of imperceptible desire.
"When will Tan'er grow up..."
Kangxi's hands wandered restlessly over Yutan's body, his calloused fingertips caressing her delicate skin, causing her to shudder. Yutan endured the discomfort and turned her face slightly to avoid Kangxi's hot breath.
"Your Majesty..." Yu Tan's voice was soft and gentle, as if she was acting coquettishly, but also as if she was begging for mercy.
"Hmm?" Kangxi's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of lust.
"Your Majesty, I am still young..." Yu Tan's voice became lower and lower, almost inaudible.
Kangxi was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to have thought of something, burst into laughter, and held her waist tightly with both hands.
