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

The sound from outside the door broke the stalemate inside the hall.

Mu Yue's attention was also drawn to the commotion at the door.

She gently patted Chunju's shoulder, gesturing for him to walk towards the door.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Longkodo holding Consort Tong's hand and waving in his direction.

This was only the second time the two of them had seen each other since their last meeting at the Imperial Estate.

Despite having just received Longkodo's letter, Muyue was still very happy about his appearance.

She quickly patted Chunju, "Chunju, put me down!"

Chunju frowned as she looked at Muyue's excited expression.

She was a palace maid arranged by the Hesheli family to enter the palace.

Before entering the palace to take care of the princess, she was required to speak well of the Hesheli family in front of the princess and try her best to keep the princess in the Hesheli family.

Given the princess's current agitation upon seeing the Tongjia clan's people, she fears she will be unable to fulfill the head of the family's wishes.

Chunju was conflicted, unsure whether she should obey Muyue's orders.

Mu Yue didn't notice that Chunju, who was holding her, was lost in thought.

After issuing the order, she received no response for a while, and then, somewhat annoyed, she called out again, "Chunju?"

Chunju came to her senses and quickly put Muyue down as she had instructed.

As soon as Mu Yue's feet touched the ground, she ran towards Longkodo.

"I was just reading the letter you wrote to me. There were so many words I didn't recognize. I'm so grateful that Chunju read them to me!"

"However, the letter didn't seem to mention your upcoming visit to the palace today!"

Mu Yue looked at Longkodo in front of her, waiting for him to answer her questions.

Consort Tong was somewhat surprised to see her younger brother so close to Mu Yue, without any of his usual troublesome behavior.

She vaguely remembered that a letter from home mentioned that Longkodo and the princess had met, but it didn't say that the two of them were so close.

Why did my father and the others keep this from me?

The smile on Consort Tong's face faded slightly.

But no one noticed at that moment.

The Crown Prince and the First Prince noticed that Mu Yue had run out, so they immediately followed her out.

Seeing Mu Yue being so affectionate with a strange boy, the Crown Prince and the First Prince felt very uncomfortable.

The Crown Prince hurriedly stepped forward, but just as he was about to speak, he heard Mu Yue's sweet, childlike voice.

"Young men are still the best!"

"Brother Baocheng and Brother Baoqing have gone too far! They broke their promise!"

The crown prince sensed his sister's dissatisfaction with him.

He frowned and did not step forward.

He planned to figure out the source of his sister's dissatisfaction before making a decision.

Longkodo's attention was completely focused on Mu Yue in front of him, and he didn't notice the Crown Prince to the side at all.

Hearing Mu Yue say this, he asked curiously, "Did the Crown Prince and the First Prince do something to upset Yue'er?"

Mu Yue nodded vigorously without hesitation.

Then, under Longkodo's bewildered gaze, she told him about the fight between the Crown Prince and the First Prince.

He also spread out the wound on his palm.

"Look, these are the scars left behind!"

On his chubby palm was an ugly, twisted scar that looked particularly unsightly and obvious.

Longkodo frowned slightly as he looked at the scar, feeling a growing dissatisfaction with the Crown Prince and the First Prince.

But this was, after all, the palace, and his family had repeatedly reminded him of what he should and shouldn't say before he entered the palace.

Not wanting to cause trouble for his family, he could only look at Mu Yue helplessly.

There was neither agreement nor anything else said.

The eldest prince then walked to the crown prince's side and asked in a low voice, "Who is this boy? Yue'er seems to be quite close to him!"

The crown prince did not answer.

He did not know Longkodo's identity and could not answer the eldest prince's question.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't be willing to tell the eldest prince.

However, he was unaware of Longkodo's identity, though others present did.

The Crown Prince's gaze fell upon Consort Tong, who had just appeared with Longkodo.

He walked up to Consort Tong and bowed.

"Consort Tong, the Empress Dowager is in the main hall."

Now that we've come to Kunning Palace, we should naturally go and see the Empress.

Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince, though young, is so intelligent, and his words and actions are no less than those of some adults.

He didn't want Longkodo to spend time with the princess, but he was also afraid that if he stepped in to stop her, he would upset the princess, so he came up with this idea.

If my own son, Yinzhen, were as intelligent, my life would be much easier.

Consort Tong looked at the Crown Prince with a hint of envy in her eyes.

"Mother Tong understands, thank you Bao Cheng."

Consort Tong smiled and patted the Crown Prince's head, then called out to Longkodo, who was not far away, "Longkodo, come with me to see the Empress!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yue glanced at the First Prince and the Crown Prince, puffed out her cheeks, and her dark pupils rolled around before she immediately said to Consort Tong, "Yue'er will accompany my little brother and Consort Tong."

She didn't want to see her two annoying brothers arguing!

Mu Yue's small face scrunched up, and she stomped her feet hard on the ground as she followed Consort Tong toward the main hall.

The crown prince has a lot to learn, and he doesn't have much free time.

He was determined to get Yue'er's forgiveness today, otherwise he would keep thinking about it in the days to come.

Thinking of this, he quickly followed.

The eldest prince looked around and, seeing that he was the only one left, suddenly felt bored.

The apology gift he had intended to give was not accepted; instead, it ended up in the hands of the eunuch beside him. The eldest prince's lips drooped, and he looked somewhat dejected.

"Wooden sword, did I mess things up again?"

The wooden sword was a eunuch who served the eldest prince.

Originally, it wasn't called this, but the eldest prince had a particular fondness for weapons, so after this eunuch came to his side, it was changed to this name.

Upon hearing the First Prince's question, Mu Dao lowered his head, his expression hidden in shadow, and spoke softly. He whispered in the First Prince's ear, "Your Highness has done nothing wrong. There is no need for guilt or regret."

“Your Highness is the Emperor’s son, just like the Crown Prince and the Princess. There is no need for you to bow down to them. It is the Princess’s fault that she does not want to accept Your Highness’s gift, not Your Highness’s fault.”

Wooden Knife's words struck the eldest prince as somewhat strange.

He felt that it made some sense, but something about it didn't quite feel right.

“If the Crown Prince and I hadn’t fought in the Imperial Garden, Yue’er wouldn’t have been implicated or injured. It’s understandable that Yue’er is angry.”

Mu Dao did not continue with his previous remarks, but instead echoed the First Prince's words, saying, "Your Highness is absolutely right, and this servant was wrong!"

"If the eldest prince is willing to salvage his relationship with the princess, he should go with her!"

"As the head of the harem, the Empress is usually kind and prudent. She will surely help Your Highness make peace. At that time, Your Highness will naturally be able to reconcile with the Princess."
