Chapter 795: Startling Heart Mingyu 7

Mingyu followed Kangxi's gaze and saw chrysanthemums of various colors blooming, red like fire, yellow like gold, and white like snow, which were very beautiful.

"So beautiful!" Mingyu exclaimed sincerely.

Mingyu stood on tiptoe curiously, wanting to get closer to see the blooming chrysanthemums, but Kangxi pulled her back: "Be careful, don't fall."

Mingyu stuck out her tongue playfully: "I'm not a child anymore."

Her eyes moved and fell on Kangxi, and she asked with a hint of tentativeness: "Your Majesty, what kind of flowers do you like?"

Kangxi pondered for a moment, his eyes fell on Mingyu's beautiful face, and he said meaningfully: "I like...peonies."

Mingyu tilted her head in confusion: "Peony? But now is not the season for peonies to bloom."

Kangxi reached out and gently brushed Mingyu's soft cheek. The touch of his fingertips made his heart flutter. He moved closer to Mingyu and whispered in her ear: "The peony is elegant and graceful, with a beautiful and fragrant appearance, just like my Mingyu."

Mingyu's cheeks instantly became hot, and she lowered her head in a hurry, not daring to look directly into Kangxi's burning gaze. This sudden praise made her both happy and shy.

The two continued to stroll in the imperial garden, but the atmosphere became a little subtle. Mingyu would steal a glance at Kangxi from time to time.

Walking under a tree full of osmanthus flowers, a strong fragrance hit her nose. Mingyu couldn't help but take a deep breath and exclaimed: "What a nice fragrance!"

"Didn't you come here when you were a child? Why are you still so curious..." Kangxi realized that he had let the cat out of the bag.

As soon as Kangxi finished speaking, he realized that he had said something wrong, and a trace of barely perceptible panic flashed across his face. He coughed lightly to cover it up, and looked away vaguely.

Mingyu was quick to notice Kangxi's strangeness. She stopped and looked at him in confusion: "Your Majesty, what did you just say?"

Kangxi's face flushed quickly, and his heartbeat became a little irregular. He secretly blamed himself for being too talkative. Why did he blurt out what was in his heart?

If Mingyu knew that he had been paying attention to her since she was a little girl, wouldn't she be scared away?

By then, who knows what the girl will think of him. Will she think he is a perverted old man?

The blush on Kangxi's face deepened. He hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "I...I just said it casually."

Mingyu didn't believe it. She rolled her eyes and smiled slyly, "Your Majesty, please don't hide it from me. Have you... known me since childhood?"

Kangxi's heart beat faster, like a drum. He didn't expect Mingyu to be so perceptive and guess the truth at once.

He simply threw himself at it, and took Mingyu into his arms, whispering in her ear: "Yes, I have known you since you were a child, and watched you grow up. I should have met you once when you were a child, until a few years ago, when you and the Eighth Lady entered the palace, and you were having fun in the Imperial Garden, I saw you from afar."

Mingyu was stunned. She didn't expect that Kangxi had known her since childhood.

Mingyu gently stepped out of Kangxi's arms, raised her eyes and stared at him, her eyes flickering with a hint of pity: "Your Majesty, why... are you telling me now?"

Kangxi reached out his hand and gently stroked Mingyu's delicate cheek with his thumb. His eyes were so gentle that they almost dripped with tears: "I am afraid that you are young and ignorant and will be afraid. I am even more afraid that you...will alienate me because of this."

He paused, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone: "I am an emperor after all, and there are some thoughts that I cannot easily show to others."

Kangxi's eyes were as gentle as water, as if they could melt people. He gently lifted Mingyu's chin, letting her look at him, and said softly: "Mingyu, now, do you like me a little bit?"

Seeing that she was silent, Kangxi felt a little uneasy. He took a deep breath and continued, "I know that my status may make you feel pressured, but my feelings for you are no joke. I can give up everything for you, and I only ask for your sincerity."

Mingyu and Kangxi have only known each other for three days. If you say she is touched, she is definitely there, but if you say she likes him, it seems like something is missing.

She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes hiding the complex emotions in her eyes. Kangxi's warm breath sprayed on her face, making her feel a little uncomfortable. She bit her lower lip lightly, struggling with how to respond.

"Your Majesty." Mingyu's voice was as thin as a mosquito and trembled a little.

"I...I don't know how to answer this."

Seeing her so shy, Kangxi felt even more affectionate in his heart. He let go of Mingyu's chin, and instead gently hugged her shoulders, saying softly: "Don't worry, I can wait. I will prove my feelings for you with my actions, and the sun and the moon can bear witness to it."

Mingyu leaned in Kangxi's arms, feeling the sense of security brought by his broad chest. She grew up under the protection of her father, mother and sister, and had never experienced such a strong emotional impact.

"Who?!"

Kangxi asked sternly, while protecting Mingyu behind him, and looking fiercely behind the rockery. Mingyu was also frightened and grabbed Kangxi's sleeve tightly.

After a rustling sound, a figure walked out from behind the rockery. It turned out to be Concubine De.

Defei had an awkward yet polite smile on her face, as if she had not expected to be discovered eavesdropping.

Kangxi's face darkened instantly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He protected Mingyu behind him and said in a cold tone: "Defei, what are you doing hiding here?"

De Fei knelt down quickly, her hands trembling, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was just passing by and did not intend to eavesdrop."

She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Kangxi's sharp gaze.

Mingyu hid behind Kangxi and looked at Concubine De quietly. She wondered why Concubine De was here? Could it be that...she was deliberately following her and the emperor?

Kangxi sneered: "Passing by? Is this Imperial Garden the only way to your Yonghe Palace?"

Defei turned even paler, and stammered, unable to speak. She knew that Kangxi had become suspicious, and no matter how she argued, it would be useless.

Kangxi's eyes grew colder. He was already angry because of Concubine De's eavesdropping, and now seeing that she ignored Mingyu, he felt that she had no rules and did not know the difference between superiors and subordinates.

"De Fei, do you still have my concubine in your eyes?"

The smile on Concubine De's face froze. She didn't expect that the emperor would embarrass her in public for an unknown little girl.

She pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly and said dryly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just don't know who this girl is..."

Kangxi interrupted her impatiently: "Your Highness is here, how dare you turn a blind eye to her, Concubine De, where have you learned any rules?"
