Transmigrating to the Qing Dynasty: The Beloved Princess Uses a System to Change the Plot

Mu Yue waved her hand, ignoring the old woman's words.

She gestured for Chunju to remove the pot lid, then took a deep sniff of the aroma and eagerly put the prepared ingredients into the pot.

Mu Yue picked up a slice of meat coated in chili oil and put it in her mouth.

At the same time, the milk pudding that Yinqi usually loved to eat was also served.

He glanced at the bland soup in front of him, then at the greasy pot in front of Mu Yue, and immediately lost interest in the milk soup he usually loved.

He couldn't help but swallow, his eyes fixed on Mu Yue.

Mu Yue's attention was drawn to the tender, spicy slices of meat in her mouth, and she did not notice Yin Qi's expression.

She chewed with relish, then quickly picked up another piece of tofu soaked in the broth.

Before she could even put it in her mouth, she heard Yinqi's voice, tinged with worry, "Sister Yue'er, is it in pain?"

Thinking of Yinqi's curiosity about chili peppers and her earlier worries, Mu Yue broke the tofu in the bowl, picked up a small piece, rinsed it in water, and placed it in the bowl in front of Yinqi.

Most of the red oil on the tofu was washed away by the water, leaving only a few specks of red.

Yinqi looked at the tiny piece of tofu, no bigger than a fingernail, in the bowl in front of him, his expression somewhat confused. "Sister Yue'er?"

Looking at Yinqi's adorable expression, Muyue couldn't help but gently poke his slightly puffed cheek. "Yinqi, aren't you curious why Sister Yue'er asked the people from Lin Heng's office for chili peppers?"

"Try it now, and maybe you'll find the answer!"

Yinqi still looked somewhat hesitant when he heard Muyue's words.

He clearly hadn't forgotten the pain in his mouth.

Mu Yue said with a smile, "This thing is called chili pepper, and it's not suitable to eat raw at all, but adding some when cooking will make the food taste special."

"Yinqi might really like it after he tries it!"

Yinqi trusted Muyue very much.

Hearing this, he still hesitated, but he still held the spoon, his hand trembling, and stuffed a piece of tofu the size of a fingernail into his mouth.

The old nanny standing nearby instantly turned pale and tried to snatch the spoon from Yinqi, but Chunju stopped her.

The old woman couldn't help but question, "What is Your Highness doing?"

"Our prince has always trusted the princess implicitly, yet the princess is using such harmful things to mislead him. Could it be that she wants to eliminate dissidents for the crown prince?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yue's expression immediately turned cold.

She slammed her chopsticks on the table.

The bowls and chopsticks on the table flew up with her movements.

Mu Yue's sudden outburst of anger surprised the palace servants around her.

They stared blankly at Mu Yue, their eyes filled with fear and apprehension, afraid of being blamed.

The old woman who spoke was also somewhat frightened.

She swallowed nervously, blurting out without thinking, "Your Highness, are you angry out of embarrassment?"

Mu Yue had already gotten up from her chair.

How dare an old woman speak to me in such a tone?

Mu Yue hadn't encountered such a clueless servant in a long time!

She casually walked up to the old woman and said, "Chunju, teach this old woman some manners!"

Chunju immediately obeyed the order and, without saying a word, swung her arm and slapped the old woman in front of her several times.

Since coming to the Fifth Prince's side, the old woman had never suffered such humiliation. Her face turned ashen, and she wanted to resist.

But Chunju didn't give her that chance.

She grabbed the old woman's arm tightly with one hand and slapped her face hard with the other.

After a few slaps, the old woman's cheeks were swollen.

There were also some bruises on the corners of his mouth.

Its appearance was quite terrifying.

Yinqi's gaze kept shifting between the old nanny and Chunju, his naturally cheerful face now looking somewhat bewildered.

Mu Yue noticed her younger brother's bewildered expression and quickly went to Yin Qi's side, gently patting his back and soothingly saying, "These things have nothing to do with Yin Qi, just eat your food!"

Yinqi calmed down and finally came back to his senses from his dazed state.

He looked at the tofu in the bowl in front of him, then looked up at Mu Yue and the nanny, and murmured softly, "Sister... don't be angry..."

Seeing her younger brother's obedient appearance, Mu Yue's heart softened even more, and she became even more dissatisfied with the nanny beside him.

This old woman definitely needs to be taught a lesson.

This is to prevent the servant from taking advantage of his younger brother's good temper, making decisions for him without considering his wishes.

"Yinqi, don't be afraid, your sister will handle these things!"

Seeing Yinqi's somewhat bewildered expression, Muyue picked up a spoon, scooped up a small piece of tofu from the bowl, and said to Yinqi with a smile, "Yinqi, haven't you always been curious why your sister wants this spicy stuff?"

"You'll understand once you open your mouth and taste it!"

Under Mu Yue's gentle reassurance, Yinqi quickly forgot his earlier panic.

He obediently opened his mouth and swallowed the tofu that Mu Yue had given him.

The first thing you notice when you put the tofu in your mouth is a faint aroma of soybeans, and when you bite into it, a little bit of broth bursts out.

The spicy aroma began to spread.

But it wasn't nearly as intense as when I first ate it raw.

After being stimulated, Yinqi's tongue had developed a certain tolerance for pain.

At that moment, he not only didn't feel any pain in his mouth, but he also found the soft tofu coated in the spicy broth to be exceptionally delicious.

As he ate, his toes, which were dangling in mid-air, began to wiggle, and a happy expression appeared on his face.

As for the old woman who was being beaten, she had no trace left in his eyes.

The tofu, about the size of a fingernail, was quickly eaten up, and the taste in the mouth vanished in an instant.

Yinqi immediately looked at Muyue expectantly, pointing to the food cooking in the pot, "Sister Yue'er... I want more..."

Mu Yue was afraid that Yin Qi was too young and his stomach couldn't handle it, so she naturally didn't dare to let him eat too much.

She added a little more tofu, rinsed it with water, and then put it into Yinqi's bowl.

After tasting the delicious food, Yinqi no longer needed Muyue to feed him; he held the spoon himself and put the food in his mouth.

He was enjoying his meal so much that he completely forgot about the old woman standing beside him.

But Mu Yue had not forgotten.

She walked up to the old woman and said in a low voice, "Do you know your mistake?"

The old woman was also a stubborn person and didn't think she had done anything wrong.

With her cheeks red and swollen, she looked at Mu Yue and said, "You're just bullying me because of your status. I'm just the Fifth Prince, yet you deliberately fed him things that were harmful to his health. If the Empress Dowager finds out, she will definitely not forgive you!"

The nanny, who had been somewhat flustered, immediately became confident upon hearing the mention of the Empress Dowager.

She was specially arranged by the Empress Dowager to take care of the Fifth Prince.

Even Consort Yi showed her great favor, yet this princess, who had received no official title, dared to lay a hand on her.

She will never let this go!

The old woman's eyes darted around, her reason suppressed by anger, and she was already plotting how to make Mu Yue pay the price.
