Transmigrating to the Qing Dynasty: The Beloved Princess Uses a System to Change the Plot
Chapter 13 Consort Tong
The voice behind me sounded somewhat familiar.
Mu Yue immediately turned her body and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
The first thing that catches the eye is Consort Tong's beautiful face.
With a faint smile on her face, she walked towards Mu Yue's direction.
The old woman holding Mu Yue instinctively kept a wary eye on all the women in the harem except for the Empress.
The moment Consort Tong walked towards them, she immediately took a few steps back while holding Mu Yue, her cloudy eyes filled with vigilance.
When Consort Tong saw the nanny's actions, the smile on her face faded slightly.
Mu Yue did not notice the old woman's vigilance.
She could sense that Consort Tong meant her no harm.
So he patted the nanny who was holding him and tried to walk in the direction of Consort Tong.
But the old woman did not loosen her grip on her as she wished.
Mu Yue immediately sensed something was wrong. She glanced at the nanny holding her and noticed the nanny's wary look.
She finally understood why Consort Tong's smile had faded somewhat.
The Imperial Garden was bustling with people.
No one would be foolish enough to attack themselves under such circumstances.
Besides, Consort Tong was accompanied by a nanny carrying the Fourth Prince; how could she possibly lay a hand on her at a time like this?
Moreover, the Empress Dowager also knew about her meeting with Consort Tong.
She never expressed any dissatisfaction or vigilance about this; how dare a mere nanny make decisions on her own?
If left unchecked, I fear I might end up like some princesses of the Qing Dynasty, who, after being married off, needed their nanny's permission to meet their husbands.
Thinking of this, Mu Yue's mood inevitably soured a bit.
"Zhang Mama, it's not your place to make decisions about my affairs!"
"If they disobey, I will not tolerate any servants who act on their own initiative!"
This was probably the most serious thing Mu Yue had ever said.
Granny Zhang was stunned when Mu Yue said that, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on Mu Yue's arms.
Mu Yue winced in pain, her brows furrowing slightly.
Consort Tong, who had originally intended to distance herself from Mu Yue, immediately abandoned her initial idea.
She rushed forward and rescued Muyue from the old woman's arms.
Her face was cold and frosty. "I will tell Her Majesty the Empress everything that happened today."
After saying this, Consort Tong planned to leave with Mu Yue in her arms.
She liked Mu Yue very much.
If she weren't afraid of Emperor Kangxi misunderstanding, she would have discussed with the Empress about sending Muyue to stay with her for a while.
Before leaving, Consort Tong suddenly noticed the palace maids kneeling in the Imperial Garden.
Thinking of what she had just witnessed, she couldn't help but ask, "What did those two palace maids do? Why was Her Highness so angry just now?"
Mu Yue didn't want too many people to know what she had just said, lest it spread and cause conflict between her two brothers.
She immediately fabricated a reason to cover it up.
"They just bumped into me, so I...I just punished them a little!"
But she was still young, and her ability to conceal it was not yet up to par.
Consort Tong deduced from her expression that there must have been another reason for what had just happened.
But she didn't ask any further questions.
The palace is a cannibalistic place.
A master doesn't need many reasons to punish his servants.
Consort Tong did not think the two palace maids were worth saving, so she naturally did not ask any further questions.
Holding Mu Yue in her arms, she gave the nanny beside her a look, signaling her to get rid of the two palace maids. Then, carrying Mu Yue, she left the Imperial Garden and headed towards Chengqian Palace.
Mu Yue's personal maid, Chunju, was naturally worried and quickly followed.
But having learned from the example of the old woman, Chunju dared not say much and simply followed silently.
Halfway there, Mu Yue suddenly thought of Consort De after her rebirth.
She looked at Consort Tong, who was holding her, with some curiosity and couldn't help but ask, "Consort Tong, what was that lady doing yesterday?"
At first, Consort Tong didn't realize who Mu Yue was asking.
But she soon remembered that the only connection between herself and Mu Yue was the Wuya clan.
Thinking of the woman who put on an innocent and weak act in front of her cousin, the Emperor, Consort Tong's smile faded slightly.
That woman's disguise was truly impressive.
The emperor's cousin didn't suspect the woman at all, and even felt that he was being jealous and deliberately teaching Wuya a lesson.
Even though Yue'er had repeated what that woman had said, her cousin, the Emperor, thought it was a misunderstanding.
If I hadn't tried my best to stop it, Lady Wuya would probably be Lady De by now.
Of course, there's no need for Yue'er to know about these things.
Consort Tong said with a smile, "That's not a lady from the palace, just a servant."
"Servants should go where servants are!"
Not wanting Mu Yue to focus her attention on an unimportant person, Consort Tong smiled and changed the subject, asking, "Where are you planning to go today?"
The Imperial Garden is deserted this season, and children certainly wouldn't like it.
The Imperial Garden is located right in the center of the palace, so you have to pass through it to get to many other places.
Consort Tong hadn't spent much time with Mu Yue and hadn't yet figured out her personality, so she couldn't guess where Mu Yue was going and took the initiative to ask.
Mu Yue said somewhat embarrassedly, "A while ago, Yue'er and Brother Baocheng contracted smallpox, and Father Emperor and Granny Wukuma were very worried about Yue'er and Brother Baocheng!"
"Yue'er felt that other children's families would also worry about their children. She also overheard that several of her older brothers and sisters had died from smallpox. So she wanted to ask the uncles at the Imperial Hospital if there was any way to cure smallpox, so that the people and their children would not be separated by death because of smallpox!"
The little boy spoke clearly and logically, leaving the adults around him speechless.
Consort Tong thought of her younger sister who had died of smallpox, and remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Yue'er is a good child!"
"But treating smallpox is not easy. Even if we ask the people at the Imperial Hospital, we won't get any results."
She didn't want Mu Yue to have too high expectations and end up disappointed.
Mu Yue knew Consort Tong's good intentions.
But she already had a way to improve the survival rate of smallpox.
All she needs to do now is secretly slip the handbook into those medical books and then casually reveal it to the uncles at the Imperial Medical Academy to achieve her goal.
In response to Consort Tong's words, Mu Yue said earnestly, "Some things will never be achieved if you don't do them!"
"Yue'er believes that as long as you try your best, it's okay even if you don't get the result you want."
Seeing Mu Yue's serious expression, Consort Tong smiled helplessly, unable to utter another word to dampen her spirits.
She stared at Mu Yue for a long while, then sighed and said, "Never mind, it's just asking the people in the Imperial Hospital, it's not a big deal. I'll go with you!"
