Chapter 386 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 8
"Yutan, please stay here with me tonight." Kangxi's tone was unquestionable, yet with a hint of imperceptible tenderness.
Yu Tan's heart trembled when she heard this. She understood what Kangxi meant, but she couldn't refuse.
"Your Majesty..." Yu Tan tried to speak, but Kangxi gently pressed his finger against her lips.
"Shh, I don't want to hear you say 'no'." Kangxi's tone was a little overbearing, yet also a little doting.
Yu Tan felt flustered by his gaze and could only lower her head, not daring to speak.
Seeing her like this, Kangxi's mouth curled up into an imperceptible smile. He took her hand and walked to the inner hall, where the dragon bed had already been prepared. The golden nanmu bed frame, covered with soft brocade, exuded a faint ambergris, all of which showed the emperor's nobility and luxury.
"What? Are you afraid that I will eat you?" Kangxi looked at Yutan's stiff body with a hint of teasing in his tone.
Yu Tan bit her lip and didn't dare to answer. She knew that she had no way out and could only take it one step at a time.
Seeing her at the mercy of others, Kangxi felt a desire to conquer her. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her soft lips. Yu Tan screamed and tried to struggle, but Kangxi held her tightly in his arms, unable to move.
His kiss was overbearing and passionate, with an undeniable possessiveness, as if he wanted to devour her whole body. Yu Tan had never experienced anything like this before, and her mind went blank, and she could only let him do whatever he wanted.
After an unknown amount of time, Kangxi finally let her go. Looking at her swollen lips, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
He picked up Yu Tan and gently placed her on the dragon bed, then he lay down and held her in his arms.
"Go to sleep."
Yu Tan took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Your Majesty, I...I want to go wash up."
Hearing this, Kangxi opened his eyes and revealed a playful smile.
He stretched out his hand to lift Yu Tan's chin, and said in a teasing tone: "Why, do you dislike my dirtiness?"
Yu Tan tried to ignore Kangxi's burning gaze and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I am covered in dew from the Imperial Garden and I am afraid that it may offend the emperor."
Kangxi looked at her pretending to be calm, and the smile in his eyes became even wider.
"I don't mind."
Kangxi gently patted Yutan's back, one after another, as if he were treating a frightened deer. Yutan trembled slightly in his arms, and the ambergris on his body made her feel strange and vaguely uneasy.
"Go to sleep, I won't touch you." Kangxi's voice was low and magnetic, like a spell, which gradually relaxed Yutan's tense nerves.
Seeing that she stopped struggling, Kangxi raised a barely perceptible smile.
He liked her youthful and somewhat stubborn look, like a bud about to bloom, waiting for him to pick her.
He lowered his head, and his warm breath sprayed on Yutan's ears: "I know what you are afraid of, but you are a smart girl, you should understand that in this Forbidden City, in this world, only I can protect you." Kangxi's voice was low and magnetic, like a spell, which gradually relaxed Yutan's tense nerves. Seeing that she stopped struggling, Kangxi's mouth curled up with a barely perceptible smile.
"I won't force you, just sleep peacefully." Kangxi's words were like a warm current, slightly soothing Yu Tan's uneasiness.
She moved slightly, trying to make herself look more natural. The ambergris on Kangxi lingered at the tip of her nose, strange yet strangely reassuring.
Kangxi looked at the person in his arms. He found it extremely amusing that the person was obviously so frightened that his body was shaking slightly, but he still had to pretend to be calm.
He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Yu Tan's inky long hair, his movements so gentle as if he was protecting a rare treasure.
"Your Majesty..." Yu Tan felt mixed emotions as she felt Kangxi's gentle touch.
"Hmm?" Kangxi responded softly with a lazy nasal tone, as if he was coaxing a child to sleep.
Yu Tan bit her lip and mustered up the courage to ask, "Why... is the emperor so kind to this servant?"
Hearing this, Kangxi chuckled with a bit of self-mockery: "I am the Son of Heaven, I rule the world, I have three thousand beauties in my harem, but I have never been so interested in any woman. I also want to know why I only care about you..."
He paused, and looked at Yu Tan with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through her: "Maybe, it's because you are different from them."
Yutan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She didn't know what Kangxi meant by "different".
"I'm tired, let's sleep." Kangxi said no more, closed his eyes, and hugged Yutan tighter.
Yu Tan snuggled in his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat, feeling his warm body temperature, and a strange feeling gradually rose in her heart.
This feeling, is it like... peace of mind? Like... dependence?
No, it's impossible! Yu Tan shook her head violently, trying to get rid of this absurd idea from her mind.
Kangxi woke up when a hint of paleness appeared in the sky. He turned his head to look at the person in his arms. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyelids. Her sleeping face was peaceful and beautiful, like a painting that made people unable to take their eyes away.
Kangxi moved his body slightly, wanting to get up, but accidentally woke up Yutan in his arms.
Yutan opened her eyes and saw Kangxi looking at her in a daze. She suddenly lost all sleepiness and sat up suddenly, but accidentally bumped Kangxi's chin.
"Hiss—" Kangxi felt pain and covered his chin.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean it!" Yu Tan was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Kangxi looked at her flustered look and felt amused. This girl was bolder than yesterday after waking up.
"I'm fine." Kangxi rubbed his chin and said.
Yutan lowered her head and dared not look at Kangxi.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Kangxi asked with a hint of teasing in his tone.
Yu Tan's cheeks suddenly became hot, and the memories of yesterday came flooding back like a tide, making her wish she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Reply...Replying to the emperor, I slept very well." Yu Tan's voice was as soft as a mosquito, as if she was talking to herself.
Kangxi was in a good mood when he saw her shy appearance. He stood up and walked to the table, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yutan.
"Have a cup of tea."
Yutan took the teacup with both hands and took a sip. The warm tea flowed down her throat into her heart, but it could not extinguish the panic in her heart.
Kangxi put down the teacup, his eyes fell on Yutan's slightly red earlobe, and his smile deepened.
"I said that when you grow up a little more, I will give you a title and rank."
Yu Tan was shocked when she heard this and suddenly looked up at Kangxi.
"Your Majesty..." Yu Tan opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
