Chapter 439 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 61

"Really? Then tell me, what is written in this poem? Why can't I understand it?" Princess Minmin became interested when she heard it, and hurriedly handed the collection of poems to Yutan.

Yu Tan took the poetry collection, gently turned the pages with her slender fingers, her eyes swept over the lines of beautiful handwriting, and the artistic conception behind the poems emerged in her mind.

She pondered for a moment, pointed to one of the poems and said, "Take this poem, 'After the rain in the empty mountain, the weather turns to autumn late. The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring flows over the rocks.'"

She recited the poems slowly in a clear and pleasant voice, as if she was singing a beautiful song, bringing Princess Minmin into the quiet and peaceful forest.

"This poem depicts a dusk scene in an autumn mountain after rain. The poet expresses his yearning for a peaceful and simple life through the detailed description of the scenery. Look at this line, 'The bright moon shines among the pines'. The moonlight shines through the pine forest, casting mottled light and shadows. Isn't it very artistic?"

Princess Minmin was fascinated by the poem. Although she didn't understand, Yutan's explanation made her feel as if she was there, and she felt the beauty and artistic conception described in the poem.

"Your Majesty, you speak so beautifully. I seem to really see the pine forest under the moonlight!" Princess Minmin said excitedly, looking at Yutan with eyes full of admiration.

Yutan smiled and continued to explain other verses to her, from the imagery, techniques to emotions of the poem, explaining them in simple terms. Minmin listened with great interest. The originally boring poems became lively and interesting under Yutan's explanation.

"I didn't expect that there are so many things hidden in these poems. My father's hard work has been wasted." Princess Minmin sighed, and there was a little more admiration in her eyes when she looked at Yutan.

"Princess, you are very talented, but you just lack guidance. As long as you study hard, you will achieve something in time." Yu Tan encouraged, but she had other plans in mind.

Although Princess Minmin is straightforward, she is not stupid. She just grew up on the grassland and is not used to the culture of the Central Plains. If I can take this opportunity to develop her into my confidant, she will be more helpful in the harem in the future.

Thinking of this, Yu Tan's lips curled up into an imperceptible smile. She put down the poetry collection in her hand, looked at Princess Minmin, and said softly: "Princess, if you really like these poems, how about I take time out every day to teach you?"

Princess Minmin was overjoyed when she heard this. She grabbed Yutan's hand and said excitedly, "Really? That's great! I will learn from you from now on and will definitely not let you down!"

Yu Tan held her hand in return, her eyes moving as she said meaningfully, "I believe Gege can do it."

"My queen, you are amazing! These poems seem to come alive in your mouth." Princess Minmin's eyes were full of admiration, her hands resting on her cheeks, as if she had completely forgotten her previous yearning for riding and archery: "Have you learned these since you were a child? It must be very hard, right?"

"Princess, you're joking. I didn't have the chance to learn these things since I was a child. The emperor taught me these poems little by little." Yu Tan sighed softly, lowering her eyes, with a barely perceptible shyness in her tone.

"Your Majesty?" Princess Minmin's eyes widened as if she had heard something incredible.

"You said that the emperor taught you these poems?"

Princess Minmin grabbed her hand and said anxiously, "Oh, what's the secret? Tell me, how did the emperor teach you? Is he particularly fierce? I heard that the emperor has a bad temper and kills people at any time. Is that true?"

"The emperor treats me very well and has never lost his temper with me."

Yutan's face was full of love. As she recalled every moment with Kangxi, a happy smile appeared on her lips.

"The emperor is knowledgeable, talented, gentle and considerate. He can write poems and songs effortlessly, but he never takes advantage of his talent. When he teaches me, he is always very patient and explains it over and over again until I understand it."

Princess Minmin was fascinated by what she heard, as if she had seen the gentle side of the majestic emperor shown in front of Yutan.

"Then the emperor must like you very much, right?" Princess Minmin asked with her chin in her hand, looking gossipy.

Yu Tan's face flushed, she lowered her head shyly and said softly: "Princess, you are joking..."

Princess Minmin interrupted her and said firmly, "Think about it, who is the emperor? He is the supreme ruler, what can he not get? He is willing to spend time teaching you poetry and is so gentle to you, which means that you must be different in the emperor's heart!"

She leaned close to Yu Tan, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously: "Let me tell you, my father was like this when he was with my mother. He always liked to teach her things and was especially gentle to her!"

Yu Tan was infected by Princess Minmin's enthusiasm and no longer concealed it. She nodded gently and shyly admitted: "The emperor does treat me differently from others."

"I knew it!"

Princess Minmin clapped her hands excitedly and said happily, "I told you, the emperor must like you! You don't know, every time the emperor sees you, his eyes are different, so gentle that it seems like water is about to drip out!"

Yutan's heart was filled with sweetness. She remembered all the kindness Kangxi had shown her. The poetry discussions at night, the strolls and conversations in the imperial garden, and the snacks he made for her were all like pearls, stringing together the best moments of her life.

Yu Tan looked at this simple and kind-hearted princess in front of her, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that although Princess Minmin was born in a noble family, she was not arrogant at all, treated people sincerely, and really wanted to make friends with her.

"Thank you, Princess." Yu Tan said sincerely.

"Hey, why are you being so polite to me!" Princess Minmin waved her hand generously.

"From now on, you can call me Minmin, and I will call you Sister Yutan, how about that?"

"Okay." Yu Tan agreed with a smile.

Princess Minmin's eyes sparkled with gossip, and she stared at Yutan: "Sister Yutan, don't be embarrassed, just tell me, are you and the emperor in love with each other?"

Yu Tan was caught off guard by Princess Minmin's sudden question, and her face immediately flushed.

Princess Minmin didn't understand any of this, she just thought Yutan was shy, she covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Oh, I knew it!"

Before Princess Minmin could gossip more, she heard footsteps approaching from afar, and the eunuch's shrill voice rang out from outside the door: "The Emperor has arrived—"
