Chapter 407 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 29
"Stop! Stop it, everyone!"
There were two loud "plops" and Ruoxi and Mingyu, who were fighting with each other, both fell into the lake.
The sudden change shocked everyone, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were watching looked at each other in fear, and no one dared to speak.
Yinzhen reacted the fastest, jumping into the water without a second thought. The cold water made him shiver, but he didn't care about that and swam hard towards the center of the lake.
Yinxiang followed closely and also jumped into the water. The two of them searched the lake for the two people who fell into the water.
Kangxi on the shore was stunned by this sudden turn of events. He never imagined that these two girls would go so far as to jump into the lake!
When the Eighth Prince Yinsi and the Crown Prince Yinreng rushed over after hearing the news, they happened to see Yinzhen jumping into the lake without hesitation.
The usually gentle face of the Eighth Master was filled with anxiety. He quickly directed the eunuchs and palace maids around him, "Quick, hurry up and save them! Send more people down!"
Crown Prince Yinreng stood aside with a gloomy face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Soon, Yinzhen and Yinxiang rescued the two people who fell into the water and brought them to shore. Ruoxi and Mingyu were soaking wet and lying on the shore in a miserable state, coughing and spitting out the lake water that had choked them.
Kangxi didn't want to watch any longer, nor did he want anyone to notice, so he pulled Yutan away.
Kangxi held Yutan's hand and left the noisy and noisy place of Lao Ba's mansion. Yutan's hand was soft as if it had no bones, and there was a hint of coolness on her fingertips, like the finest mutton-fat jade. Kangxi's heart moved, and he held her hand and refused to let go.
"Your Majesty, look, it's so lively there!" Yu Tan's cute voice interrupted Kangxi's thoughts. She pointed to the crowded street not far away, her face full of excitement.
Kangxi looked in the direction she pointed, and saw shops lining both sides of the street. The cries of various vendors were heard incessantly, and the bustling crowd was filled with the prosperity and liveliness of the market.
"Let's go for a walk, okay?" Yu Tan shook Kangxi's arm and said coquettishly.
"Okay, whatever you say." Kangxi pinched her nose lovingly. This girl was still as lively as ever.
The two changed into casual clothes and, under the secret protection of the guards, strolled around chatting and laughing.
There were so many small things on the street that Yu Tan was dazzled. She picked up a candied haws and then a rattle. Kangxi looked at her childish behavior and the smile on his face became more gentle, as if he had returned to the time when he first met her.
"Boss, how much is this?" Yu Tan asked, pointing at an exquisitely crafted silver hairpin.
"This girl has good taste. This is the treasure of our store. It is made of the finest..." The boss introduced it incessantly, but was interrupted impatiently by Kangxi.
"Okay, this is it. How much is it?" Kangxi took out a silver ingot and threw it to the boss.
"Oh, you are such a straightforward person! Girl, take care!" The boss took the silver and smiled with wrinkles on his face.
Yu Tan took the silver hairpin handed over by Kangxi, but her face was not happy: "Your Majesty, why are you like this? You haven't even asked the price yet!"
"My silver is your silver, as long as you like it." Kangxi said indifferently.
Yu Tan gave him a reproachful look but said nothing more. She just carefully inserted the silver hairpin into her hair. The shining silver light made her skin look even whiter than snow and more beautiful.
"Does it look good?" Yu Tan raised her head, her eyes moving, and asked with a hint of anticipation.
"It looks good." Kangxi's eyes fell on her tempting red lips, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
"Tan Er, this is not in the palace, don't call the emperor, so as not to attract attention."
Kangxi lowered his voice, with a hint of helplessness and doting in his tone. This girl is so heartless and doesn't know how to hide herself at all.
Yu Tan finally reacted, stuck out her tongue, and said with a playful smile: "I know, Master~"
She deliberately prolonged the last syllable of the word, and her eyes flickered with charm, which made Kangxi's heart flutter.
The two continued strolling along the street. When they passed a teahouse, a melodious piano sound floated out from inside, attracting Yu Tan's attention.
"Master, let's go in and listen to some music!" Yutan pulled Kangxi's sleeve and shook it gently, her eyes full of anticipation.
Kangxi wanted to refuse, but looking at Yutan's watery eyes, he couldn't say no and could only nod helplessly.
The teahouse was bustling with people telling stories, singing songs, and chatting. Kangxi and Yutan found a corner seat and sat down. The waiter immediately served them tea and cakes.
On the stage, a woman in a green shirt was playing a piece of music called "High Mountains and Flowing Water". The sound of the piano was clear and melodious, as if bringing people into a fairyland with high mountains, flowing water, and clouds and mist.
Yu Tan was so engrossed in what she heard that she even forgot to eat the cake in her hand. Kangxi, on the other hand, was sipping his tea while observing the surroundings with the corner of his eye. His many years as an emperor had made him develop the habit of being alert at all times.
When the song ended, there was a burst of applause from the surroundings. Yu Tan also clapped and cheered. The clear sound was particularly clear in the noisy teahouse, attracting many people's attention.
"Oh, this young lady is so pretty. Would you mind having a drink with her?" A greasy voice sounded in Yu Tan's ears, and a dirty hand tried to put its hand on her shoulder.
Yutan had never seen such a scene before. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she hid behind Kangxi, trembling.
This action was seen by the drunken men as a move of half-hearted refusal. Seeing this, Kangxi's face darkened instantly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, heading straight for the pervert.
"Where did you come from, you blind bastard, to dare to tamper with the God of Heaven!" Kangxi shouted angrily, scaring the lecher so much that he sobered up half way.
Under the influence of alcohol, he looked Kangxi up and down with lustful eyes. Although Kangxi was dressed in ordinary clothes, he had an extraordinary demeanor, which made him feel a little suspicious.
"Old man, I just want to invite this young lady to have a cup of tea, why are you so angry?"
Although the scoundrel was a little scared, he still pretended to be calm and said, "Could it be that you are the father of this young lady? Even if you are a father, you can't stop your daughter from making friends, right? Old man, your daughter is so pretty! Would you be so kind as to let her have a drink with you?"
One of the men with a fat face stepped forward, stared at Yu Tan with lustful eyes, and spoke frivolously.
When people said he was Yutan's father, the veins on Kangxi's forehead were about to burst.
He was a wise ruler, handsome and elegant, but now these drunkards said he was the father of this little girl. It was really absurd! When had Aixinjueluo Xuanye ever suffered such an injustice?
