Not long after, Mu Yue and the Crown Prince were taken away from the Imperial Study by the Empress.
As she left, Mu Yue passed a minister.
The minister had a beard, but the upper half of his face that was visible was quite handsome.
Mu Yue stared at the person with some curiosity, and stared for a while.
The other party was not annoyed, but tilted his head slightly, smiled and looked at Mu Yue, asking, "Why does the princess look at me like that?"
Mu Yue wasn't the type to be shy.
Sensing that the person in front of her meant her no harm, she immediately said bluntly, "Lord Yue'er is handsome, but his beard looks rather strange!"
Upon hearing this, the man reached out and stroked his beard, smiling as he said, "All the officials in the court grow beards, and I am no exception."
Mu Yue stared at the official in front of her for a long while before finally saying, "Sir, your appearance is so refined, it's really not nice to have such a beard."
If anyone else said these words, they would have a different flavor.
But Mu Yue is just a young child now, and when she says such teasing words, it only makes people smile.
Before the minister could speak, the eunuch at the door of the imperial study suddenly announced, "Lord Nalan, His Majesty is waiting for you!"
Lord Nalan?
Mu Yue looked at the man in front of her with curiosity, scratched her head, and turned to walk into the Imperial Study.
She remembered that there weren't many people with the surname Nalan in the court.
The most famous one in history is Nalan Rongruo.
However, the age doesn't seem to match.
Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and remembered Lord Nalan Mingzhu, who was always at odds with her great-uncle.
Could that be Nalan Mingzhu?
I heard that Lord Nalan was on equal footing with his great-uncle in the imperial court.
He is also a very capable person.
I never expected him to be so handsome.
However, in order to defeat his great-uncle, he will support his elder brother and Bao Cheng in a future showdown.
We need to think of a way to dissuade Lord Nalan from this idea.
Mu Yue stared at Nalan Mingzhu's back for a long time, so long that the Crown Prince couldn't help but ask curiously, "Yue'er, why are you staring at Lord Nalan for so long?"
"Nothing, I'm just a little curious!"
The crown prince asked casually and did not delve into it further.
The two returned to Kunning Palace.
The Empress had already learned of the situation from Emperor Kangxi.
The thought of children and malicious people getting so close made her tremble with fear.
Seeing Mu Yue and the Crown Prince walking towards the door against the light, the Empress disregarded everything else and rushed forward to hug the two children tightly.
They carefully checked their situation.
Although the people sent by Emperor Kangxi said that the two children were safe, the Empress was still somewhat uneasy.
She was relieved only after confirming it with her own eyes.
"Yue'er, Baocheng, next time you encounter something like this, don't act impulsively, or your mother will worry about you."
Mu Yue and the Crown Prince are both sensible children at heart.
Upon hearing the Empress's words, he immediately nodded obediently and even offered words of comfort to her.
"Mother, don't worry. With Father here, those villains will surely be dealt with."
The Empress looked at the Crown Prince's confident demeanor and gave a helpless, bitter smile.
If the Emperor were truly that powerful, his son Chenghu wouldn't have met with such an accident.
But there's no need to tell these things to the two children.
Then he patted the heads of the Crown Prince and Mu Yue without saying anything more.
Time passed unnoticed, and soon it was late spring. Many flowers in the Imperial Garden slowly withered with the passage of time.
The temperature also gradually rose.
Mu Yue recalled the earthquakes mentioned in historical records and book plots, and immediately decided to use her dream-entering technique.
She has already identified the target for her dream-entry technique.
One was his own great-uncle, Suo'etu, and the other was Nalan Mingzhu, who rivaled his great-uncle in the imperial court.
And then there's the Emperor.
She believed that if these people knew this news, they would make the right choice.
In order to successfully transfer these people into the dream world, Mu Yue decided to wait until dark before taking action.
Because the temperature inside the room was too hot, Mu Yue did not want to stay inside, so she led the servants to walk around the palace.
Everyone in the palace knew her identity, and no one dared to stop her when she appeared.
Unbeknownst to her, Mu Yue arrived at the Xin Zhe Ku (a place for laborers).
She saw a woman with exceptionally beautiful features washing clothes.
Despite wearing coarse linen clothes, her alluring figure was still undeniable.
Perhaps her face was too attractive in the laundry room, because before the woman's clothes were even washed, an old woman came.
The old woman didn't even look at it before throwing the pile of dirty clothes she was carrying onto the woman's freshly washed clothes.
"Wash all these clothes before sunset, the masters are waiting!"
Upon hearing the old woman's words, the woman immediately showed a troubled expression.
She already had enough clothes to wash, and the clothes she had just washed were now being soiled again by the old woman in front of her.
After washing all the clothes again, it will definitely take until dark.
She looked hesitant, as if to say that she couldn't do it.
The old woman in front of her didn't give her a chance to refuse; she threw down the clothes and turned to leave.
The woman watched the old woman's departing figure, sighed deeply, and didn't have the courage to call out to her. She could only lower her head and continue washing the clothes in front of her.
Seeing the woman's reaction, Mu Yue frowned slightly and hurriedly ran to the woman, "These clothes are clearly not your responsibility to wash, why didn't you refuse?"
The woman was startled when she heard Mu Yue's voice and almost fell off the chair she was sitting in.
Thankfully, Chunju helped him up.
After finally calming herself down, the woman looked up and gazed in Mu Yue's direction.
Her eyes were alluringly fox-like, slightly upturned, with a bright red beauty mark at the corner of each eye.
There was a hint of timidity in his eyes.
This made her less alluring and more innocent.
Noticing that Mu Yue's clothes were luxurious, even more exquisite than the clothes she was about to wash, the woman immediately realized that the person in front of her was an important person she could not afford to offend.
Based on Mu Yue's age, she immediately guessed the identity of the important person in front of her.
She pursed her lips, and without the slightest hesitation, quickly lowered her head and half-squatted to pay her respects.
"This servant, Wei Jingzhu, greets Your Highness."
Mu Yue waved her hand, indicating that Wei Jingzhu did not need to be so polite.
"You have not answered my question yet!"
Wei Jingzhu gave a bitter smile, her eyes full of helplessness. "Even if I refuse, what can I do?"
“The old woman won’t pay any attention to it and will only make things worse. It’s just a few more clothes to wash now, it’s nothing.”
All she wanted was to survive in the Xin Zhe Ku (a place for laborers).
If she offended the old woman from earlier, she would probably have to do even more dirty and hard work.
She might not be able to handle it.
Looking at Wei Jingzhu's appearance, Mu Yue couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.
With such a weak personality and such a beautiful face, she probably wouldn't have a good ending if no one protected her.
Since we've already seen her, let's help her out!
After a moment of contemplation, Mu Yue said to Wei Jingzhu, "You should have guessed my identity. If you are willing, I can find you another place, so you don't have to stay in the Laundry Department and do these jobs!"
