Chapter 813: Startling Heart Mingyu 25
Kangxi grabbed her rebellious little hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it gently: "Little greedy cat, I knew you would make demands. I will have someone prepare it right away."
After that, he called Li Dequan and ordered, "Go to the imperial kitchen and bring the newly made osmanthus cake, and prepare some porridge and side dishes."
Li Dequan took the order and left, but Mingyu stayed in Kangxi's arms and refused to get up, saying in a tender voice, "Your Majesty, I am very tired, please carry me to clean myself."
Kangxi looked at her lovingly, shook his head helplessly, but still picked her up as he was told and walked towards the bath.
Warm steam rose up, blurring the two figures. Kangxi wiped Mingyu's body carefully, his movements as gentle as if he were treating a treasure.
Mingyu closed her eyes comfortably, enjoying the emperor's service, and felt peace in her heart.
After washing up, the two returned to the dragon bed.
Soon, Li Dequan brought the palace servants from the imperial kitchen to bring food. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake was sweet and soft, and the porridge and side dishes were light and refreshing. Mingyu had a great appetite and ate with relish. Kangxi watched her eat from the side, picking up food for her from time to time, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Your Majesty, you should eat too." Mingyu picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and handed it to Kangxi's mouth.
Kangxi smiled and opened his mouth to take a bite, then licked her hand gently, causing Mingyu to giggle.
The two of them took turns to eat, sharing the delicious food sweetly, as if there were no other worries in the world.
After eating the osmanthus cake, Mingyu drank half a bowl of porridge and ate some side dishes. Kangxi was very pleased to see her empty bowl.
This little girl's appetite has increased greatly. It was harder than climbing to the sky to get her to eat more before, but now her appetite is surprisingly good. Could it be...
Kangxi glanced suspiciously at Mingyu's flat belly, wondering in his heart: Could it be that she is pregnant?
As soon as this idea came up, it took root in Kangxi's mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. During this period of time, he stayed in Mingyu Palace every night. It was the time when he was in his prime, and Mingyu's menstruation was indeed delayed a little...
Thinking of this, Kangxi's breathing became a little rapid. He held Mingyu's hand and asked tentatively, "Yu'er, have you been feeling unwell recently?"
Mingyu didn't understand, she blinked her big eyes and looked at him: "No, I feel very well."
Seeing her bewildered face, Kangxi could not bring himself to point it out directly, so he could only ask indirectly, "I mean... do you feel your appetite is better than usual?"
Mingyu thought about it and nodded: "It seems that I ate a little more than usual."
As she spoke, she picked up another piece of osmanthus cake and placed it in front of Kangxi's mouth with a smile: "Your Majesty, please have another piece."
Kangxi looked at her cute and innocent appearance, the joy in his heart almost overflowing. He opened his mouth and ate the osmanthus cake, and took a light bite of her hand.
Mingyu retracted her hand and glared at him coquettishly, but she couldn't hide the joy between her brows.
"Your Majesty, are you a puppy?" Mingyu rubbed the place where he was bitten and pretended to be angry.
Kangxi laughed loudly and hugged her in his arms: "My dear, are you so greedy because you are pregnant?"
“What?!” Mingyu’s eyes widened like a frightened deer, with half a piece of osmanthus cake in her hand.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I am still a child myself!"
Kangxi laughed out loud at her innocent look and hugged her tighter: "My Yu'er, even if you are still a child, it is time for you to grow up. I will naturally teach my child myself."
As he spoke, his eyes wandered over Mingyu's body in an ambiguous manner, finally stopping at her flat belly: "Our baby might already be living here."
Mingyu's face suddenly turned red. She subconsciously covered her belly and glared at Kangxi in shame and annoyance: "Your Majesty always makes fun of me! My period...is just delayed for a few days, it's not..."
As she spoke, her voice became quieter and quieter, and finally became almost like a mosquito's hum. She knew in her heart that
During this period of time, Kangxi stayed in her palace every night. He favored her so much that it would not be surprising if she was really pregnant.
However, she was not ready yet! She had only been in the palace for a few months, and she was still like a child, playful and restless, with an unstable mind.
She was really nervous about becoming a mother now.
Kangxi noticed her uneasiness, and gently stroked her long hair, saying softly: "Yu'er, don't be afraid, I will always be with you. If you are really pregnant, I will take good care of you and the child, and will never let you suffer any grievances."
"It's all the emperor's fault. He's always talking nonsense!"
She gently pushed Kangxi away, broke free from his arms, turned away angrily, and no longer looked at him.
Kangxi looked at her angry back and felt both amused and loving.
He stood up and walked behind her, gently put his arms around her waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said softly, "Yu'er, are you shy?"
Mingyu ignored him and just played with the half piece of osmanthus cake in her hand, as if it was some rare treasure.
"I know Yu'er is still young and may be a little scared," Kangxi's warm breath sprayed into her ears, and his tone became even gentler.
"But I promise you that no matter what happens, I will stay by your side to protect you and our children."
Mingyu's body trembled slightly, and she almost dropped the osmanthus cake in her hand. The word "child" weighed heavily on her heart, making her feel inexplicably flustered.
Children? She had never thought about this question. She still coveted a free and unfettered life, loved chasing butterflies in the imperial garden, loved playing with the palace maids, loved lying in Kangxi's arms and enjoying his unreserved love.
But once you have a child, all that changes.
What frightened her even more was the dangers of the palace.
She witnessed with her own eyes the concubines in the harem scheming and deceiving each other in their efforts to win favor.
How would she cope if her child was caught up in this cruel struggle?
Thinking of this, Mingyu couldn't help but shudder, and her eyes turned slightly red.
Kangxi noticed her abnormality, gently held her face, and asked with concern: "Yu'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Mingyu held back her tears, shook her head, buried her head in Kangxi's arms, and said in a muffled voice: "Your concubine... Your concubine is just a little scared."
"Silly girl, what are you afraid of? I will protect you and our children." Kangxi stroked her back gently.
"But...but I don't know anything, I..." Mingyu choked and couldn't say a complete sentence.
Kangxi hugged her tighter and whispered in her ear: "Yu'er, you don't need to know anything, you just need to be happy, and leave the rest to me."
