Chapter 438 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 60
"I want to go and play with Princess Minmin..." Yutan blinked and looked at Kangxi expectantly.
"Minmin?" Kangxi raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised that Yutan would make such a request: "Why did you suddenly think of her?"
"Is it not okay that I hit it off with her the moment we met yesterday, Your Majesty?" Seeing Kangxi's unhappy expression, Yu Tan shook Kangxi's arm coquettishly. Her voice was delicate and as sweet as honey.
Kangxi couldn't stand Yutan's behavior, as if he was really a foolish emperor who didn't understand romance. He sighed softly, scratched Yutan's nose, and said in a doting tone: "You are good at controlling me. Forget it, go if you want to, but remember not to cause trouble and come back early."
"Your Majesty, I obey your order. You are so kind!" Yu Tan smiled happily, gave Kangxi a loud "boo" on the face, and ran away, leaving Kangxi standing there alone, shaking his head and laughing.
"This heartless girl forgets her husband once she has friends." Kangxi whispered to himself, but his eyes were full of doting.
Yutan hummed a little tune all the way, and followed Li Dequan's lead towards Minmin's tent. The grassland sunlight shone on her face, warm, not as cold as in the Forbidden City.
"Princess Minmin, look who's here?" Before she even entered the tent, she heard the palace maid's voice.
Yutan lifted the curtain and saw Minmin sitting at the table with a collection of Chinese poetry in her hand. Her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she had encountered some difficulties.
"The Imperial Concubine!"
As soon as Minmin saw Yutan, she stood up excitedly. She quickly put down the book in her hand, took a few steps forward, held Yutan's hand, and greeted her warmly: "Madam, please take a seat. Someone, bring the milk tea!"
Yutan smiled and let Minmin pull her, and she had a better impression of this Mongolian princess. After they sat down, Minmin chattered non-stop, sometimes asking about interesting things in the palace, sometimes talking about what she saw on the grassland, without any princess airs at all. Yutan was also happy to chat with her, occasionally making jokes and making Minmin giggle.
The aroma of milk tea filled the tent. Minmin held her cheek with her hand and stared at Yutan with her watery eyes, as if she could never see enough.
"The Imperial Concubine is so beautiful, like someone who walked out of a painting." Minmin made no secret of her admiration for Yutan and even reached out to touch Yutan's cheek.
"Thank you for your compliment, Princess. I'm not as good as you said." Yu Tan smiled shyly, but she felt helpless about Minmin's straightforwardness.
Minmin seemed to have opened up a chatterbox, praising Yutan's appearance non-stop: "I have never seen anyone as beautiful as you on the grassland. Your skin is as white as snow, and your eyes are big and bright, just like the stars in the sky..."
"Your Majesty's skin is so good, as white and tender as a freshly peeled egg, so white that you can squeeze water out of it." Princess Minmin said as she reached out to touch Yu Tan's cheek.
Yu Tan was a little amused by her sudden action, so she could only turn her head away and said coquettishly, "Princess, what are you doing? You make me feel embarrassed."
Princess Minmin was not annoyed, but became even more excited. She grabbed Yu Tan's hand and praised: "Your Majesty's hands are also beautiful, with slender and long fingers. You can tell at a glance that you have never touched women."
Yu Tan blushed a little at her praise. This Mongolian princess was really passionate and unrestrained, not at all like those shy and coy ladies from wealthy families.
"If you like it, Princess, I will come often to chat with you and keep you company." Yu Tan said with a smile, feeling a little more genuine affection for this innocent Princess.
"Really? That's great!" Princess Minmin was as happy as a child. She held Yutan's hand and refused to let go, as if she was afraid that she would disappear in the next second.
"I keep my word, but..." Yu Tan deliberately prolonged his voice, with a hint of cunning in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"Just what?" Princess Minmin took the bait and asked anxiously.
"But as for the Emperor..." Yu Tan hesitated, a look of embarrassment on her face.
"What's wrong with the emperor?" Princess Minmin asked nervously.
"The emperor...ah, to be honest with you, the emperor is a little...jealous." Yu Tan leaned close to Minmin's ear, lowered his voice, and pretended to be unable to speak.
"Jealous?" Princess Minmin blinked in confusion, as if she didn't quite understand the meaning of the word.
Seeing her innocent look, Yu Tan secretly laughed in her heart and explained, "That is to say, the emperor can't stand me being nice to others, especially to the young ones, he keeps a close eye on me."
"Ah?" Minmin looked as if she had eaten shit. She didn't expect that the emperor...
"Then, what should we do?" Princess Minmin asked in a panic. She didn't want to harm Yutan because of her momentary negligence.
Yu Tan smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, and as her eyes moved, Min Min's heart was about to melt. This Imperial Concubine was so pitiful, no wonder the Emperor was so obsessed with her.
"Haha, I'm just kidding. The emperor has already promised me that I can come and play with you on weekdays, as long as the princess doesn't dislike me."
"Really? That's great!" Princess Minmin almost jumped up with joy. She hugged Yutan and gave her a loud kiss on her fair cheek.
"My lady, you are so nice. I love you the most!"
The sudden kiss stunned Yu Tan. This Mongolian princess was really passionate and unrestrained. She gently pushed Min Min away and said angrily, "Princess, don't do this. If someone sees you, you will be laughed at."
Minmin didn't care at all. Instead, she said smugly, "What's the big deal? On our grassland, it's normal to kiss whoever you like! Besides, there are only two of us here. Who would see us?"
Yutan shook her head helplessly. This girl was so naive and cute.
Yu Tan's eyes fell on the poetry collection that Min Min had casually thrown aside: "Princess, do you like reading these poems?"
"Ah, this."
Minmin followed Yutan's line of sight and looked at the poetry collection, and said nonchalantly, "My father gave it to me. He said that all the ladies from the Central Plains love to read it, so he asked me to study hard."
As she spoke, she curled her lips and said, "But what's the point of those sour poems? They are not as exciting as riding a horse and shooting arrows!"
Yu Tan covered her lips and chuckled. This Princess Minmin was really a straightforward person. She picked up the poetry collection and flipped through it. It was full of poems praising the mountains and rivers or expressing grievances and sorrows. It was ordinary. No wonder Minmin didn't like it.
"My lady, do you understand these poems?"
"Princess, you're joking." Yu Tan smiled softly with her hands covering her lips, revealing a bit of confidence between her eyebrows.
"I know a thing or two about these poems."
