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

Time has passed by unnoticed, and spring of the new year has arrived.

The Imperial Garden was ablaze with flowers.

Many of the concubines in the palace enjoyed visiting the Imperial Garden.

For a time, this somewhat alleviated the fear brought about by Kangxi's purge of the harem.

Emperor Kangxi investigated the matter of the incense ash for a long time, but he could not find the mastermind behind it.

They simply found the person who added the incense to Mu Yue's incense burner.

However, when they discovered her, the palace maid had already died in the well in the Cold Palace.

Emperor Kangxi was naturally furious, but he couldn't find the culprit. He could only investigate all the servants in the palace and execute all those who were suspected of wrongdoing.

For a time, everyone in the palace felt insecure.

Fortunately, after Kangxi dealt with a group of people, the incident did not continue.

Otherwise, probably no one in the palace would be interested in being on duty.

The Queen was not satisfied with the results of the investigation.

She overthought things and fell seriously ill. Her body grew weaker and she had no energy left to handle palace affairs.

Emperor Kangxi, showing consideration for the Empress, proposed dividing palace power among Consort Niohuru and Consort Tong, so that they could jointly manage palace affairs.

The Empress was unwilling to relinquish power, but Kangxi acted very firmly on this matter, leaving her no choice but to accept it.

However, excessive worry made her already poor health even weaker.

Upon hearing that the Empress was in a bad mood, the Crown Prince and Mu Yue immediately wanted to do something to cheer her up.

Just as spring arrived and all the flowers were in full bloom, the Crown Prince passed by the Imperial Garden and saw a peony that was blooming exceptionally beautifully.

He felt that the elegant and luxurious peony was very suitable for the Empress.

So he pulled Mu Yue toward the Imperial Garden.

"Brother Baocheng, didn't you say you were going to see the Empress Dowager?"

Mu Yue blinked in confusion, looking at the Crown Prince with her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

Thinking of the Empress's increasingly pale face and the dark circles under her eyes that even makeup couldn't hide, Mu Yue felt a sense of unease.

She was worried that one day she would wake up to receive terrible news.

Not wanting to waste time on irrelevant matters, Mu Yue immediately pulled the Crown Prince along, heading towards Kunning Palace.

The Crown Prince regularly practices riding and archery, and his physical fitness is far better than Mu Yue's.

Mu Yue did not pull the Crown Prince away; instead, she stumbled and fell.

Her fair, slender hand rested on the muddy ground, and a sharp pain shot through her palm as a pebble hidden in the soil cut her.

The pain wasn't noticeable, but Mu Yue still couldn't help but tear up.

The Crown Prince quickly stepped forward to help the aggrieved Mu Yue up, took her hand, and looked at the scratch on her palm. He said with some guilt, "It's all Brother Bao Cheng's fault for getting Yue'er hurt!"

“My mother has not been in a good mood these days. Brother Baocheng just wants to go to the Imperial Garden to pick some pretty flowers to give to my mother.”

When Mu Yue heard the Crown Prince's suggestion, she thought it was a good idea.

She immediately disregarded her own grievances and stared wide-eyed at the Crown Prince before her, "Yue'er and Brother Baocheng together!"

"Empress Dowager will be very happy to see the flowers we chose ourselves!"

Seeing Mu Yue smile again, the Crown Prince breathed a sigh of relief.

He took Mu Yue's hand and walked towards the interior of the Imperial Garden.

The more beautiful the flower, the closer it is to the interior of the Imperial Garden.

The crown prince was a perfectionist, and he wanted to select a perfect flower to present to the empress.

In his heart, only flowers like those were worthy of the Empress.

He carefully selected flowers in the garden, his tender hands wandering over each blossom.

Suddenly his gaze fell upon a blooming peony.

The flower was in full bloom, and the morning dew clung to its petals, which trembled gently, appearing so perfect in the sunlight.

This is the perfect flower he's been looking for.

The crown prince was resolute.

His attention was completely focused on the flowers, and he didn't notice that there was an extra visitor in the Imperial Garden.

He reached out his hand toward the flower.

Before he could even touch the flower stem, a hand with slightly larger knuckles forcefully plucked the flower from the branch.

The actions were extremely rude.

Fortunately, the delicate flower was not damaged by the other party's actions.

The Crown Prince assumed that the servants following him had acted on their own initiative and was about to reprimand them when he heard his younger sister exclaim in surprise, "Brother Baoqing, what are you doing here?"

"Are you also here to pick flowers in the Imperial Garden?"

Mu Yue looked at the eldest prince curiously, but received no answer.

The eldest prince's gaze fell on the crown prince, scrutinizing him. It was unclear what he was thinking, but it was obvious that he was not in a good mood.

Mu Yue had a vague sense of unease.

But she didn't know where this premonition came from; she just thought she was overthinking it.

She smiled at the eldest prince, her round almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed into crescent shapes.

The dimples around her mouth made her look very cute.

The eldest prince's fingers, which were holding the flower, twitched slightly, but after thinking for a moment, he simply said with a cold face, "Do I have to tell a little kid like you where I'm going?"

His tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction, making him seem like a completely different person from the brother who had played with Mu Yue yesterday.

The smile on Mu Yue's face vanished instantly, her lips drooped slightly, and she looked somewhat aggrieved.

The crown prince was immediately displeased when he saw his sister looking so aggrieved.

He frowned, his tone somewhat forceful, "Brother, Yue'er cares about you, and besides, I was the one who first took a liking to this flower!"

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince not only did not return the flowers to the crown prince, but instead gripped them even tighter.

The delicate flower was squeezed tightly by rough hands, the stem became somewhat twisted, and the petals on the branches trembled as if they might be blown away at any moment.

"First come, first served. The flower I picked first is naturally mine!"

"Besides, who cares about your concern? It's just like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—you're up to no good!"

Upon hearing this, the crown prince trembled with rage.

Seeing the Crown Prince like this, Mu Yue disregarded her own grievances and quickly stepped forward, "Brother Bao Cheng, how about we just let it go?"

"There are still many flowers in the Imperial Garden, shall we choose another one?"

Baoqing was more than half a head taller than Baocheng, and he was also much stronger.

If a conflict breaks out, Bao Cheng will definitely suffer.

Mu Yue didn't want to see that scene happen.

If you can't afford to offend them, you can only avoid them!

But the eldest prince was unwilling to give up, and he directly stretched out his arm to block the crown prince.

The carefully selected flowers touched the Crown Prince's cheek as the First Prince reached out his hand.

The flowers are no longer visible blooming on the branches.

"Hey, let's have a fight!"

He wanted to see what was so good about the Crown Prince.

Why did the Emperor send himself out of the palace but keep the Crown Prince by his side?

The eldest prince's words were like a fuse.

The crown prince is young, and he had just suppressed his anger under his sister's persuasion, but that doesn't mean his anger has disappeared.

Seeing the eldest prince's arrogant demeanor, he immediately lost control of his emotions and accepted the eldest prince's provocation.

"Alright! I'll fight you, brother!"
