Chapter 822: Startling Heart Mingyu 34
Mingyu seemed to be dissatisfied with him teasing her like this, and waved his hand away, smiling and saying: "It turns out that the emperor is reluctant to rest, so he found a high-sounding excuse."
Her voice was soft and tender, not accusing, but rather had a hint of irrepressible sweetness.
Kangxi was attracted by her lively eyes and eyebrows for a moment. He slowly bent down to look at her and said in a deep voice: "If there is anyone who is reluctant to leave, it is Yu'er. I would rather give up my country and not ask for a few years of life, but I am willing to stay with you day and night for a while."
This sentence came without warning, and Mingyu's face turned even redder, and even her ears were covered with a thin layer of pink. She bit her lip, and it was obviously not the first time she heard him say such sweet words, but she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
She clutched the corner of the quilt in her palm and spoke softly after a while: "When did the emperor learn to be so smooth-talking? Do you want to test the thickness of my skin?"
Kangxi smiled instead of getting angry, his brows full of leisure and gentleness. He quietly looked at her eyes as clear as autumn water, and suddenly reached out to hold her small hands that were slightly clenched in the corner of the quilt. Her hands were slightly cold, in sharp contrast to the heat in his palms.
"I have never told a lie, so naturally I don't dare to test Yu'er's thickness of skin." His voice was low and mellow, as if it was stained with a little chill from the night, but it made people feel an uncontrollable warmth flowing through their hearts.
Mingyu was too weak to respond to his words. She pulled her hand back in a grudge, turned her back to him, and whispered, "Your Majesty always likes to say something to make people happy. I won't be able to tell the truth tomorrow morning. I don't want to suffer resentment."
Kangxi looked at the little figure in front of him, and a smile grew on his face. He simply lay down, and held her in his arms. A warm and stable atmosphere immediately enveloped Mingyu. She struggled slightly, but was held tighter.
"Yu'er, don't let your imagination run wild. You will see my true feelings clearly as time goes by." Kangxi whispered softly in her ear. His voice was as full and deep as a cello, intoxicating.
Mingyu's struggling body suddenly softened, she closed her eyes slightly, and a barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of her mouth. Listening to his strong heartbeat, she suddenly felt a little dazed, as if she was completely melted by his words, and she felt a sweet touch on every inch of her skin.
"You are so clingy. Should I accompany Yu'er, or should Yu'er accompany me to stay up all night?" Kangxi finally whispered with a smile in her ear. It seemed that he meant it without any ill intention, but it made Mingyu blush again.
It was said that she was staying up with Kangxi to celebrate the New Year, but after midnight, Mingyu felt too sleepy to bear it. Her eyelids felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't open them.
She rubbed her way into Kangxi's arms in a daze, found a comfortable position, and her breathing gradually became steady.
Kangxi listened to her even breathing, and a doting smile appeared on his lips. He gently hugged her tighter, resting his chin on the top of her head, feeling the soft touch of the person in his arms. The candlelight in the hall flickered, reflecting the figures of the two people hugging each other, warm and quiet.
Kangxi was not sleepy. He gently stroked Mingyu's back, but his thoughts drifted far away. He thought of the scene when he first met Mingyu. At that time, she was still a little childish, but now she has grown up to be so charming. He was glad that he insisted at the beginning, so that he could have this precious relationship.
"Xuanye...sleepy..." Mingyu murmured incoherently, her little hands unconsciously grabbing Kangxi's collar.
Kangxi looked down at her sleeping sweetly, and his heart softened. He gently kissed her forehead and whispered, "Go to sleep, I will watch over you."
Outside the window, the first ray of New Year's sunshine slowly poured into the palace, shining on Mingyu's peaceful sleeping face. Kangxi looked at her long eyelashes and couldn't help but peck her cheek again.
Mingyu seemed to feel his touch and opened her eyes dazedly. She looked at Kangxi who was so close to her, and was a little confused for a moment. It took her a long time to realize that she had fallen asleep in the emperor's arms.
"Your Majesty..." Mingyu's cheeks instantly became hot. She wanted to get up, but Kangxi held her tightly.
"Awake?" Kangxi's voice was a little lazy, but his eyes were full of smiles.
"Sleep a little longer, I'll stay with you."
Mingyu nestled in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and an indescribable sweetness welled up in her heart. She put her arms around Kangxi's waist, buried her head in his chest, and felt his warmth and breath.
"Xuanye, Happy New Year." Mingyu's voice was muffled, with a hint of coquettishness.
"Happy New Year, Yu'er." Kangxi kissed the top of her head, his tone so gentle that it seemed like water could drip out.
The three days of New Year's holiday are a rare leisure time for Kangxi, and it is also a great opportunity for him to spend time with Mingyu.
In the past, after the morning court session, he always had to review memorials until late at night, but now he can be with Mingyu every day, and he is happy and at ease.
That morning, Kangxi woke up and found Mingyu sleeping soundly on his chest. Her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her fair face, like a lazy kitten. He couldn't help but gently kiss her forehead, causing Mingyu to frown slightly and let out a coquettish sound.
"Your Majesty..." Mingyu opened her eyes drowsily, her voice as soft as honey.
"Awake?" Kangxi smiled and hugged her tightly: "Sleep a little longer, I will accompany you."
Mingyu suddenly covered her mouth and retched, her face turning pale. Seeing this, Kangxi quickly supported her, patted her back, and asked distressedly: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?"
Mingyu shook her head uncomfortably, the morning sickness made her almost speechless. Kangxi felt so distressed that he immediately ordered someone to bring warm water, help her rinse her mouth, and carefully wipe the corners of her mouth.
The charcoal fire in the hall was burning brightly, and the air was warm. Mingyu covered his chest with his hands, and finally stopped retching, but his face was still pale.
Kangxi saw this and frowned with heartache. He put one arm around Mingyu's shoulders and the other hand on her belly, his movements were extremely gentle, as if he was afraid of disturbing the little life in her belly.
However, the next moment, the atmosphere suddenly changed, and Kangxi's low voice contained a rare severity.
"Little thing, you're so small and you dare to bother your mother!" He patted Mingyu's belly gently, as if the baby in her belly could hear it.
"Do you know how delicate your mother is? I fought for the world and won the throne, and you dared to mess with my treasure? Remember this, if you make your mother unhappy again after you get out, I will not forgive you!"
Mingyu was half leaning in Kangxi's arms. She couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard the words, and the uncomfortable feeling seemed to be diluted a little.
