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

Before Mu Yue could even reach Wei Caiwei's palace, she was stopped by someone.

The ones who stopped Mu Yue were none other than the Crown Prince and several princes.

The men frowned, their faces looking rather grim.

Mu Yue was lost in thought and did not notice the Crown Prince and the others walking towards her.

However, the Crown Prince and his brothers all valued their younger sister Mu Yue, so they saw her immediately.

Although neither of them was in a good mood at the moment, the Crown Prince noticed that Mu Yue seemed a little lost in thought and asked with concern, "Yue'er, is something troubling you?"

Hearing the Crown Prince's voice, Mu Yue was pulled out of her thoughts, but she did not tell him about what had happened.

After all, the things she encountered were too bizarre, and it was not something a normal person could do.

Although the Crown Prince is very intelligent, no matter how intelligent a person is, they cannot escape their own preconceived notions.

Even if she told her brother, the Crown Prince, about her troubles, he probably wouldn't understand and might even think that something was wrong with him.

If she wants to continue investigating these matters later, it won't be so easy.

Various thoughts flashed through Mu Yue's mind, but she didn't show them on her face.

She gave a gentle smile and shook her head at the Crown Prince. "Brother Crown Prince, there's no need to worry. Yue'er is just a little worried because the wedding date is approaching but the wedding dress hasn't been made yet."

The engagement date has passed for quite some time.

The date mentioned in the imperial edict has long since passed.

However, Emperor Kangxi seemed very determined about this marriage. Even though the date specified in the imperial edict had been missed, he immediately ordered the imperial court to select a new auspicious day and finalize Mu Yue's marriage.

In another half month, Mu Yue will leave the palace and move to the princess's residence outside the palace, where she will marry Nalan Kuixu.

The Crown Prince learned of this matter from Emperor Kangxi immediately. Although the imperial edict had been issued for quite some time, the Crown Prince still could not accept that his sister was about to get married.

He was already in a bad mood, and when he heard Mu Yue mention marriage, his expression immediately turned ugly.

He didn't want to show his anger in front of his beloved younger sister, so he forced an ugly smile and said, "There are still half a month left, why are you so worried, Yue'er?"

"If the wedding dress cannot be sewn within half a month, it means that the date is not suitable. This is a warning from heaven."

The princes beside him could tell from the Crown Prince's words that he was dissatisfied with the marriage. They immediately exchanged glances, each with a complicated expression on their face.

The marriage was arranged by Father Emperor.

The Crown Prince was promoted to the position of heir apparent, and he openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the Emperor's decree. If this were to get out, someone would surely use it as an excuse to cause trouble.

However, given how much the Emperor values ​​the Crown Prince, this news will likely be suppressed before it even gets out.

The princes, thinking about their father's attitude towards the crown prince and how rarely they saw Emperor Kangxi, couldn't help but feel complicated. Their gazes toward the crown prince were filled with envy.

The Crown Prince was unaware of the gazes of the princes behind him. He frowned as he looked at Mu Yue, waiting for her answer.

Seeing the Crown Prince's expression, Mu Yue sighed helplessly, "Brother Crown Prince, didn't we already discuss this matter before?"

"Yue'er believes that everything depends on human effort. If everything is left to fate, and success is attributed to destiny while failure is attributed to lack of destiny, then no one in this world will bother to try anymore!"

"The Qing Dynasty is able to develop so cautiously today because Father Emperor has been working hard. If Father Emperor did nothing and just went with the flow, the Qing Dynasty would not be so prosperous today. Crown Prince, you are Father Emperor's son, you must not have such thoughts!"

Mu Yue's words carried a hint of persuasion.

If anyone else had brought up these matters, the Crown Prince would probably have been displeased.

The person who said these words happened to be his most beloved younger sister, so the Crown Prince could only suppress his emotions and show a somewhat helpless expression.

Fortunately, Mu Yue didn't dwell on the topic.

She noticed that the Crown Prince's brows were constantly furrowed, which meant that he was probably not only troubled by his marriage. So she changed the subject and asked, "Your two elder brothers and your younger brothers all looked worried just now. Did you encounter any troubles?"

Before the Crown Prince could answer, Mu Yue continued with a smile, "Why don't you tell me? Perhaps I can offer you some ideas, or some plausible solutions!"

The Crown Prince shook his head and did not tell Mu Yue about their troubles.

He smiled and reassured Mu Yue, "Yue'er, don't worry."

"It's just that Father Emperor assigned some tasks to Crown Prince Brother. With Crown Prince Brother's abilities, he can complete them quickly. Since Yue'er is worried that her wedding dress won't be finished on time, why don't you go to the Imperial Household Department to check and see if anyone is slacking off, which is why the wedding dress is delayed."

Before Mu Yue could speak, the Crown Prince continued, "My elder brother, my younger brothers, and I have to go and complete the tasks assigned by Father Emperor, so we'll stop here for now."

After saying that, he turned and left with the princes.

Although the Crown Prince did not tell Mu Yue about their troubles, Mu Yue soon learned the truth.

It turned out that Emperor Kangxi had also received news of Uya's mysterious disappearance and had entrusted the matter to the Crown Prince and several princes for investigation.

They investigated for some time but found no clues, which is why they were so distressed.

Just then, a group of strangely-looking palace maids appeared in the palace. Most of them were terrified and their skin looked as aged as that of a woman in her seventies or eighties.

However, most of the palace maids were released when they reached a certain age, and only a few who were trusted by their masters would have their hair combed and stay in the palace as nannies.

It's truly bizarre and inexplicable that so many women of advanced age would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Emperor Kangxi never expected that one problem would be followed by another.

Fortunately, he had the Empress keep the news under wraps. Otherwise, if these things in the palace were to spread among the common people, someone might use this as an excuse to say that he, the emperor, had not ascended the throne properly, and that this was divine punishment.

Thinking of these distressing things, Kangxi frowned even more deeply.

The Crown Prince and the other princes in the Imperial Study remained silent, not daring to speak, for fear that Kangxi would think they were incompetent.

For a moment, no one spoke.

The entire imperial study was extremely quiet; you could hear a pin drop.

Emperor Kangxi tapped the table repeatedly with one hand, his brow furrowed as he pondered deeply.

I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't come up with a single clue.

Everything in my mind was like a tangled mess, leaving me with no clues or starting points, let alone any way to investigate.
