Chapter 415 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 37

When Kangxi saw that she agreed, he showed a satisfied smile on his face. He scratched the tip of Yutan's nose lovingly and said with a smile: "I knew that Tan'er was the best."

A few days later, it’s the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In the Golden Palace, when everyone was paying a visit, a woman caught Kangxi's attention.

Kangxi took a closer look and realized that it was the "Desperate Thirteenth Sister" that was widely talked about in the capital.

"You!" Kangxi pointed with his big hand, and scared Maertai Ruoxi who was hiding behind someone.

Maertai Ruoxi originally wanted to hide in the crowd, but she was still named by Kangxi.

She lowered her head, twisting the handkerchief in her hand nervously, and moved step by step to the front of Kangxi, bowing: "Your servant Maertai Ruoxi pays respect to the emperor. Long live the emperor."

Kangxi looked up and down the woman in front of him with great interest. She was wearing a light pink Manchu dress, which made her look delicate and pitiful. But her eyes were full of intelligence and stubbornness that did not match her delicate appearance.

"Raise your head." Kangxi's voice carried a hint of unquestionable majesty.

Maertai Ruoxi's heart trembled, and she slowly raised her head, but she did not dare to look directly into Kangxi's eyes.

"Are you Maertai Ruoxi, known as the 'Desperate Thirteenth Sister'?"

"Your servant is..." Maertai Ruoxi lowered her head but rolled her eyes in her heart. She didn't know who spread this damn name, which made her unable to raise her head in front of the princes.

"Get up and talk."

……

Although Maertai Ruoxi's poem "Qinyuanchunxue" was not stunning, it was quite acceptable. After listening to it, Kangxi's expression eased a little and he waved his hand to let her leave.

Maertai Ruoxi then breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that her limited talent could actually be put to good use.

As night fell and the lights came on, the entire palace was decorated with golden splendor and colorful lights. The palace maids held lotus lanterns and shuttled between pavilions and towers, making the night more charming.

The banquet began, Kangxi held Yutan's hand and walked in together. He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe today, looking particularly majestic and noble, while Yutan was wearing a light purple palace dress with delicate orchids embroidered on the hem, which made her look even more charming and beautiful.

He walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, and was extremely majestic. Wherever he passed, people would kneel down to salute him and shout "Long live his son".

"Everyone, get up." Kangxi's voice was deep and rich, carrying the majesty of an emperor. He pulled Yutan to the throne and asked her to sit next to him.

Kangxi took Yutan's hand, patted it gently, and said in a clear voice: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is no need to be restrained."

Everyone below stood up to express their gratitude, but their eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Yutan who was sitting next to Kangxi.

Although everyone was dissatisfied, they did not dare to say much and could only raise their glasses to agree. For a while, the atmosphere was lively and bustling.

The eldest prince Yinzhi stood up first, raised his glass and said, "Your son respectfully wishes Your Majesty a long life and endless blessings." After that, he drank it all in one gulp to show his respect.

Kangxi nodded with a faint smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

Then, the crown prince Yinreng, the third prince Yinzhi, the fourth prince Yinzhen, the eighth prince Yinsi... the princes took turns to come forward, saying auspicious words in various ways and presenting carefully prepared gifts. Kangxi only nodded occasionally, lacking interest. Only Yutan listened carefully and poured wine and cakes for Kangxi from time to time.

Kangxi's eyes fell on Yutan. Seeing her so attentive, his heart warmed and the smile on his lips became more genuine. He held Yutan's hand and gently stroked it, as if he was playing with a rare treasure.

The ninth prince Yinzhen was dressed in a royal blue robe with a white jade pendant hanging around his waist, which swayed gently with his steps, making him look even more handsome and unrestrained.

He walked to the throne with a cynical smile on his lips, but his eyes were fixed directly on Yu Tan. The look seemed to suck people in.

"Ninth brother, you are staring at the emperor's lover like this, but do you have any opinion about the emperor?" The tenth prince Yin'e was a careless man. Seeing the ninth prince like this, he pulled his sleeve and reminded him in a low voice.

Yinzhen, however, did not take it seriously. Instead, he said in a loud voice: "Your son respectfully wishes Your Majesty a long life and a bright future!" After that, he drank the golden cup filled with fine wine in his hand.

Kangxi nodded slightly as a sign of agreement, but his gaze remained on Yutan, never moving away.

The Eighth Prince Yinsi was known for his gentleness, and seeing Yinzhen being so bold, he could not help but frown slightly. He gently touched Yinzhen's arm and signaled him with his eyes to come forward to help.

Although Yinzhen was reluctant, he had to stand up for the sake of the Eighth Prince's face.

"Your Majesty, your brothers have already said all the auspicious words. I am here to wish you good health and longevity." Yinzhen was tongue-tied and could not think of anything new to say. In the end, he could only wish Kangxi good health and longevity in a dry voice.

"Look, he can't remember those poems, so he just says some vulgar words!" Although Kangxi was dissatisfied with the ninth brother, he didn't want to vent his anger on Yinzhen.

"He should be of age to come of age, right?" Kangxi looked at Concubine Hui who was sitting below him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince has already had a wife at this age, so it's time for the Tenth Prince to have one too."

Concubine Hui smiled with her hands covering her mouth, but there was a smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Kangxi nonchalantly turned the jade ring on his hand, his eyes swept over the princes below him, and finally fell on Yinzhen with a bit of scrutiny.

Yin felt Kangxi's gaze, his back stiffened, and he almost dropped the wine glass in his hand. He was not good at dealing with such occasions, let alone being stared at by Kangxi.

He looked at the eighth prince Yinsi for help, but saw that he just shook his head at him.

"It's time for you to get old..." Kangxi continued speaking following Concubine Hui's words.

Finally, the two decided on the marriage between Yinzhen and Mingyu.

Upon hearing this, Yin?’s face suddenly turned pale.

"Father Your Majesty, your son..." He opened his mouth but didn't know how to refute.

Kangxi frowned and said unhappily, "Why? You don't want to?"

Yin Yan fell to his knees with a thud, his voice trembling: "Father Emperor, I, your son... your son, thank you for your grace."

He didn't dare show the slightest dissatisfaction and could only swallow all his grievances and unwillingness.

Kangxi nodded with satisfaction and smiled at Concubine Hui, "Old Ten is a quiet child. After marrying Fu Jin, I will be less worried."

Maertai Ruoxi, who was in the audience, watched this scene and felt extremely sad.

Is this the sadness of living in this era?

Do you want her to accept her fate?

Seeing Yin Yu's distraught look, Ruoxi's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making her almost unable to breathe. She knew that the Tenth Prince was dull, but she never thought that such a person would be arranged to be married to Mingyue.
