Chapter 448 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 70
"Yutan, I...I want you..." Kangxi's voice was hoarse and low, with a bit of eagerness, a bit of domineering, and more of an unspeakable desire.
Yu Tan's heart was beating fast. She wanted to refuse but couldn't say it. Kangxi's eyes were too hot, as if they were going to melt her, leaving her powerless to resist.
"But...but Your Majesty, you...you can't..." Yu Tan's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally almost inaudible.
"Nothing is impossible!" Kangxi interrupted her domineeringly and bent down to kiss her lips.
This kiss was as fierce as a storm, yet also carried a hint of cautious tenderness, as if one was treating a rare treasure and was afraid of damaging it.
"Wow--"
The sound of a baby crying suddenly broke the ambiguous atmosphere in the palace. Kangxi and Yutan came back to their senses at the same time, looking at Yinzhen who was awakened in their arms, with a bit of embarrassment on their faces.
"This kid is really good at doing bad things!" Kangxi glared at Yinzhen with some displeasure, but there was a hint of doting in his tone.
Yutan blushed, and quickly took Yinzhen from Kangxi's arms, coaxing him softly: "Don't cry, don't cry, mother is here..."
Yinzhen seemed to feel Yutan's tenderness and gradually stopped crying. He opened his big watery eyes and looked at Kangxi curiously, his little hands still holding on to Kangxi's dragon robe.
Kangxi couldn't help but feel a little amused when watching this scene. He stretched out his hand and pinched Yinzhen's chubby little face, and said with a smile: "You kid, you really know how to pick the time!"
Yu Tan watched the interaction between Kangxi and Yinzhen, father and son, and she suddenly realized that Kangxi was not as cold-blooded as rumored. He also had a gentle side and would pamper his children like an ordinary father.
Yinzhen's little hands left several clear creases on Kangxi's dragon robe, but Kangxi didn't care at all. Instead, he burst into laughter. He pinched Yinzhen's chubby little face and said, "You little boy, just like your mother, you only know how to bully me!"
Yu Tan's face flushed when she heard this, and she said coquettishly, "Your Majesty always makes fun of me. Yinzhen is still young, how could he understand these things?"
Kangxi looked at Yutan's shy appearance, and his heart moved. He hugged her in his arms and whispered, "I am speaking from the heart..."
Kangxi looked at Yinzhen with loving eyes. He turned to Yutan and said, "I hope Yinzhen can become a wise ruler in the future."
Yu Tan was shocked when she heard this. She knew the weight of Kangxi's words. The position of the crown prince had always been the focus of competition among the princes, and it was also the apple of Kangxi's eye. Now that Kangxi said this in person, it was undoubtedly to show her his true feelings.
"Your Majesty, Yinzhen is still young. Isn't it too early for you to say this now?" Yu Tan asked cautiously.
Kangxi shook his head and said with a deep look in his eyes: "It's too late. All of my sons have already become ambitious. Only Yinzhen is still young and simple-minded. I want to train him well and make him a qualified crown prince."
"Your Majesty, you are joking. Yinzhen is still just a child. I just hope he can grow up safely. As for other things, I dare not ask for anything else."
Kangxi looked at her deeply, said nothing, and just hugged her tighter.
"Tan'er, I am so much older than you, sooner or later... Only Yinzhen, who is at the pinnacle of power, can protect you. Do you understand?"
Kangxi's words exploded in Yutan's ears like thunder, making her mind go blank.
She understood that Kangxi was talking about things that would happen a hundred years later. However, he actually thought so far ahead that he even paved the way for her and Yinzhen's future.
"Your Majesty..." Yu Tan's voice trembled a little. She wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
"Tan'er, don't worry. I said I would protect you."
Kangxi seemed to see through her thoughts and said firmly: "I will teach Yinzhen well and make him a capable monarch. Only in this way can you rest assured."
Kangxi held Yutan's hand in his palm, and the broad and warm touch gradually calmed Yutan's heart. She raised her head and looked into Kangxi's deep eyes. The deep affection hidden in them made her unable to ignore it.
"Your Majesty, I...I understand your intentions." Yu Tan's voice was as thin as a mosquito, but her cheeks were incredibly hot.
Kangxi looked at her shy appearance, and his heart softened. He lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead. "Tan'er, don't worry, I won't let you down."
"Tan'er, I understand your worries." Kangxi gently stroked Yu Tan's long hair, his tone gentle but with a hint of imperceptible determination.
"Yinzhen is still young. I cannot let him get involved in the disputes in the court too early. Those ambitious princes are all eyeing him covetously. I will never allow them to hurt Yinzhen, and I will never allow them to hurt you."
There was a hint of ruthlessness in Kangxi's tone. Yutan knew that the "harm" Kangxi mentioned was not just a verbal attack, but more likely a fatal threat.
She was horrified at the thought that Kangxi's love for her had surpassed the favor an emperor had for his concubine. It was more like a kind of protection and a promise.
"Your Majesty..." Yu Tan's voice was a little choked. She didn't know how to respond to Kangxi's affection. She could only bury her head in his chest and feel his strong heartbeat.
"Tan'er, don't worry, I will arrange everything." Kangxi patted Yu Tan's back gently, as if he was coaxing a frightened child.
"Yinzhen is still young. I will give him the best instruction and make him a brave and resourceful monarch. As for you, just stay by my side and be my most beloved woman."
Kangxi's words were full of temptation, and Yutan almost lost herself in his gentleness. But she always felt a little uneasy in her heart, as she knew that the road to the harem was full of dangers, and if she was not careful, she would be doomed.
"Your Majesty, I... I'm scared..." Yu Tan's voice trembled. She didn't dare to express her worries. She could only hold Kangxi's clothes tightly, as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.
Kangxi looked at Yutan's pitiful appearance, and his heart softened. He held Yutan's face, looked at her with burning eyes, and said in a domineering tone with a hint of pity: "Tan'er, don't be afraid. With me here, no one can hurt you. I will give you everything you want, as long as you stay by my side and be my woman."
Kangxi's kiss was a little strong but full of tenderness. Yu Tan could not resist and could only let him conquer her and bring her into a vortex full of passion and danger.
Outside the window, the night was deep. A bright moon hung high in the sky. Its cold light sprinkled on the palace walls, reflecting a chilly and lonely scene.
