Chapter 395 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 17
"I am too impatient." Kangxi whispered in Yutan's ear, his hot breath spraying on her earlobe, causing waves of numbness.
Kangxi's hot breath sprayed on Yutan's ears, causing her to shiver.
"Your Majesty." Yu Tan tried to gently push Kangxi away, her voice trembling slightly.
"Slave, slave is not ready yet..."
Kangxi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, but there was a barely perceptible bitterness in his laughter.
"I am sorry for being rude." Kangxi let go of Yutan and looked at her tenderly.
"I always forget that you are still young. I always want to hold you in my hands, but I am afraid of breaking you."
Yu Tan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Kangxi's affectionate look made her feel a little bit reluctant. She stood up, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Kangxi.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The dragon's health is the most important thing."
Kangxi took the tea but did not drink it. He just looked at Yutan steadily.
Yu Tan's gentle voice did not make Kangxi feel relaxed at all. He placed the teacup on the table, making a muffled sound that was particularly clear in the silent palace.
"Am I really old?" There was a hint of loneliness and fatigue in Kangxi's voice that he himself was not aware of.
Yu Tan's heart trembled slightly. She knew that Kangxi was not really asking her, but asking himself. The once powerful and wise Emperor Kangxi had now been worn away by the years and the struggles in the harem.
"Your Majesty is in his prime, how can he be old? It's just some trivial matters that make people upset." Yu Tan chose her words carefully, trying to comfort Kangxi.
Kangxi smiled bitterly, pulled Yutan into his arms and let her sit on his lap. Yutan screamed and tried to struggle, but Kangxi held her waist tightly.
"You are always so sensible and considerate." Kangxi's voice was low and hoarse, with a barely perceptible bitterness.
He buried his head in Yu Tan's neck, greedily breathing in the faint fragrance from her body, as if to dispel all his boredom and fatigue.
"Tan'er, can I find a father for you?" Kangxi's sudden question made Yu Tan confused.
Ama? What Ama?
Yutan's heart was beating fast, and she was a little confused by Kangxi's question.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand..." Yu Tan's voice was as thin as a mosquito. She moved restlessly, trying to break free from Kangxi's arms.
Kangxi hugged her tighter, and his warm breath sprayed on her ears, with a hint of alcohol and ambergris, mixed into a strange smell that made her a little dizzy.
"I say, I want to find a father for you, a father who loves and cares for you, who holds you in the palm of his hand for fear of dropping you, and who holds you in his mouth for fear of melting you, okay?" Kangxi's voice was low and hoarse, like a murmur, but also like a bewitchment.
Yutan felt a chill running from the soles of her feet straight to her heart. What did the emperor mean by this?
"Your Majesty, what...what do you mean?" Yu Tan's voice trembled. She didn't dare to look into Kangxi's eyes, for fear of seeing something frightening in those deep eyes.
Kangxi seemed to see through her thoughts. He chuckled, reached out and lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him.
"Tan'er, what are you afraid of? I am the emperor. I can have whatever I want. If I want you, I will give you everything, including a legitimate identity." Kangxi's tone was domineering and strong, and he could not be questioned.
"Identity? What identity?" Yu Tan's heart beat faster. She vaguely guessed something but didn't dare to believe it.
Kangxi did not answer. He just stared into her eyes. The look in his eyes seemed to suck her in and make it impossible for her to escape.
Kangxi did not wait for Yutan's answer, but felt the person in his arms trembling slightly. He hugged Yutan tighter, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
His Tan'er was always so gentle and sensible, but he felt it was not enough. He wanted more and wanted her to belong to him completely.
"I have made up my mind. Let...Nalan Mingzhu be your father." Kangxi said every word with unquestionable majesty.
Yutan didn't understand why Kangxi suddenly mentioned Nalan Mingzhu, and she didn't understand what he meant by "Father".
Who is Nalan Mingzhu? He was a powerful official in the court, second only to the emperor and above everyone else, and was the most trusted right-hand man of Emperor Kangxi.
"Your Majesty, I... I don't understand..." Yu Tan's voice was as thin as a thread, and she was extremely scared.
"I want you to be my woman legitimately, Tan'er, don't you understand my heart?"
She wanted to ask, but Kangxi gently pressed his fingers on her lips.
"Tan'er, I know what you are thinking, but you must believe me. I do this for your own good." A complex look flashed across Kangxi's eyes, showing pity, helplessness, and more of a determination to win.
"But... Lord Nalan..." Yu Tan's voice trembled. She didn't understand why Kangxi chose Nalan Mingzhu as his "father". What secrets were hidden in this?
"I will go and talk to Mingzhu. You don't have to worry. He will be very happy to have Tan'er as his daughter."
"what?"
Yutan's head was buzzing as if thousands of bees were buzzing around in it.
Nalan Mingzhu, the powerful Lord Nalan, is going to become her "father"?
"Your Majesty, I am stupid and don't understand what you mean." Yu Tan's voice trembled so badly that she couldn't believe her ears.
Kangxi looked at her, with a barely perceptible cunning flashing in his eyes. He stroked her long hair gently, his voice low and gentle: "Tan'er, you don't have to understand, you just need to know that I do this for your own good."
"For my own good?" Yu Tan murmured to herself, but she felt even more confused.
"Nalan Mingzhu has no daughter. From now on, Yutan, you are his legitimate daughter. This way, you can stay by my side with a clear conscience."
Kangxi paused and continued, "Tan'er, are you willing?"
Yu Tan's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She knew that she had no choice. Kangxi's words were the imperial decree, and she could only obey.
"I... am willing." Yu Tan's voice was as thin as a mosquito, as if it was squeezed out from the depths of her throat.
The corners of Kangxi's mouth slightly lifted, revealing a satisfied smile. He hugged Yu Tan tighter, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood: "Okay, okay, okay! Tan Er, don't worry, I will definitely treat you well and will never let you down!"
