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

Mu Yue's almond-shaped eyes widened as she stared intently at the Crown Prince. She hadn't expected that the First Prince and Longkodo would fight, and that Bao Cheng was also involved.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager appeared in time. If things had gotten out of hand, the Emperor might have thought something of Bao Cheng.

Mu Yue tugged at the Crown Prince's sleeve, asking with some confusion, "Brother Baocheng doesn't like Longkodo?"

Faced with his sister's bewildered gaze, the crown prince was at a loss for words.

He nervously looked around, only to meet the Empress's gaze, which held a mixture of worry and displeasure.

He immediately realized that if he couldn't give a satisfactory answer, today's matter might not be so easily resolved.

Left with no other choice, he recounted everything he had said to the eldest prince.

He didn't think he had done anything wrong. He looked somewhat indifferent and even glanced at the eldest prince with a hint of reproach, as if it was all his fault.

If he had known his elder brother would do this, he would never have sought peace with him!

The Empress frowned deeply as she looked at the Crown Prince's indifferent expression.

As the heir apparent, the crown prince is always concerned with such trivial matters, showing no manners befitting a ruler.

He is still young now, and the Emperor is relatively tolerant of him. But if he is still like this when he grows up, the Emperor will definitely be dissatisfied.

The Empress immediately reprimanded him, "Baocheng, you are the Crown Prince, you shouldn't have such petty thoughts."

"Considering this is your first offense, I will not punish you. But if there is a next time, don't blame me."

Mu Yue thought it was just a small matter, but she didn't expect the Empress to be so angry.

She froze instantly, her gaze shifting back and forth between the Empress and the Crown Prince.

The crown prince, having been reprimanded in front of his sister, immediately teared up and ran outside.

The Empress did not expect the Crown Prince to react this way.

She hurriedly got up, wanting to chase after the Crown Prince, but then, mindful of her status, sat back down in her chair.

In the short time it took to sit down and stand up, the Crown Prince had already run out of Kunning Palace.

Mu Yue was somewhat worried about the Crown Prince.

The palace is home to all sorts of monsters and demons.

As the Crown Prince, Bao Cheng is under constant scrutiny, so he can only relax a little during this time at Kunning Palace.

If he suddenly runs out of Kunning Palace and is seen by someone with ulterior motives, who might try to sow discord between his brother Baocheng and the Empress Dowager, then things will get really troublesome.

Mu Yue frowned, looking at the Empress with some confusion, "Why did Mother Empress reprimand Brother Bao Cheng? He didn't do anything wrong?"

What Bao Cheng said was not wrong; it was just that Bao Qing misunderstood.

How can this be considered Bao Cheng's fault?

Hearing Mu Yue's question, the Empress did not know how to answer.

She held her forehead with one hand, looking uncomfortable.

The nanny beside her quickly stepped forward and gently massaged the Empress's forehead.

The old woman was the Empress's wet nurse, who had taken care of her for many years and with whom she had a very deep bond.

She also knew the Empress very well.

Judging from the Empress's expression, it was clear that she was hurt by the Crown Prince and the Princess's attitude.

She gritted her teeth, but finally couldn't help but overstep her bounds and say, "Your Highness, whatever Her Majesty does is for your and the Crown Prince's good. Please don't say anything more that would trouble Her Majesty!"

Looking at her mother's pale, almost translucent face, Mu Yue felt a mix of emotions.

She didn't understand her mother's thoughts, and she was also worried about her brother's safety.

At this moment, he seemed to be in a dilemma.

The Empress understood Mu Yue's personality.

Even though her eyes were slightly closed, one could still guess what Mu Yue's expression was like.

She let out a long sigh and said helplessly, "Go find your brother Baocheng!"

"I know you two are close. Please help your mother persuade your brother Baocheng. He has a special status and there are many things he cannot do."

Mu Yue could not fully understand the meaning behind the Empress's words.

She tried her best to remember what the Empress said, and then ran out of Kunning Palace to find the Crown Prince.

Not long after the Crown Prince ran out of Kunning Palace, he noticed the group of guards following behind him.

He didn't want anyone following him, so he immediately ordered the guards behind him, "You may leave. I can be alone!"

Upon hearing the Crown Prince's order, the guards exchanged glances, but none of them made a move.

Seeing that the guards were disobeying orders, the crown prince's mood worsened.

He looked up at the guards who were much taller than him and said in a very displeased tone, "I am the Crown Prince, and I am your master."

"If you are unwilling to obey my orders, then you need not come to serve me in the future."

The guards looked at each other, some unsure of what to do.

During the brief pause they took, Mu Yue finally caught up.

Noticing the Crown Prince's slightly reddened eyes, Mu Yue quickly walked to his side, realizing that he must be feeling very wronged at that moment.

Bao Cheng's older brother is sensitive, so even if he tries to persuade him, he can't do so in front of the servants.

Thinking of this, Mu Yue instructed Chunju and the others behind her, "You may all go down first and tell the Empress Mother that I am with Brother Baocheng."

Chunju and the others hesitated for a moment, but seeing Muyue's determined look, they obediently withdrew.

Seeing that Mu Yue had dismissed the servants with just a few words, the Crown Prince's face showed more frustration and self-loathing.

He lowered his head, staring at the bluestone slabs on the ground, moving forward aimlessly like a wandering soul.

When Mu Yue saw the Crown Prince's appearance, she immediately became worried.

She quickly followed, and asked softly, "Brother Baocheng, what's wrong?"

The worried voice of Mu Yue in his ear did not improve the Crown Prince's mood; instead, it made him even more irritable.

He couldn't help but growl, "Leave me alone!"

As he spoke, he instinctively swung his arm.

Caught off guard, Mu Yue was immediately struck squarely by the Crown Prince's arm.

Her eyes were filled with tears from the pain, and her nose was slightly red, making her look very pitiful.

But she bravely refused to let her tears fall, looked at the Crown Prince, and said earnestly, "Brother Baocheng, Yue'er is very worried about you. Is there anything that's bothering you? Can you tell Yue'er?"

Looking at Mu Yue's expectant expression, the Crown Prince remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "I want to be alone for a while!"

His tone was much better this time, but he still expressed his unwillingness to communicate with Mu Yue.

Mu Yue did not feel discouraged by the Crown Prince's words.

Her gaze fell on the group of guards following behind the Crown Prince. After hesitating for a moment, she grabbed the Crown Prince's hand and, without anyone's expectation, ran towards the Imperial Garden not far away.

She remembered that there were many artificial hills in the Imperial Garden.

There are some hollows in those artificial hills.

The space isn't large, but it's enough for two children to stay inside.

As long as they hide there, even if the guards want to follow them, they won't be able to find them for a while.

Then I can ask Brother Baocheng what he thinks.
