When Emperor Kangxi heard this question, he immediately looked somewhat embarrassed.

He did indeed originally come to see Consort Yi.

But before they could even enter Yikun Palace, they were stopped by Wuya.

Just now, because of what Uya said, I even forgot that Consort Yi was still waiting for me.

Kangxi could not tell Muyue about these things, and could only awkwardly look away.

Suddenly, he noticed Wei Jingzhu behind Mu Yue.

"Moon, who is this person behind you?"

He had never seen such a beautiful palace maid before when he was with Mu Yue.

Out of concern, and also to change the subject, he asked a question.

Feeling Kangxi's gaze fall on her, Wei Jingzhu became very nervous, her body tense like a fully drawn bowstring.

Upon hearing Kangxi's question, Mu Yue's small face immediately scrunched up.

Could it be that Father Emperor has taken a fancy to Wei Jingzhu?

I just brought the person out of the Imperial Laundry. Am I supposed to give the person to Father Emperor?

The Emperor's harem is not a place where cowards can survive.

Moreover, if the Empress Dowager knew about this, she would definitely be heartbroken.

Mu Yue's expression became somewhat conflicted as she thought about this, but she still didn't forget to answer Kangxi's question.

"This is a new palace maid that Yue'er found. She has a special affinity with Yue'er, so Yue'er thought of keeping her."

Why did Father Huang suddenly ask about this?

Emperor Kangxi never expected that there was such a beautiful woman in the palace.

Normally, a woman with such looks would rush into the harem, so how could she become a palace maid by Yue'er's side?

Kangxi was somewhat puzzled.

He worried that the woman was sent by the White Lotus sect, which was advocating for the restoration of the Ming dynasty and opposed the Qing dynasty, and immediately decided to go back and investigate the matter thoroughly.

Looking at Wei Jingzhu's trembling appearance, he said meaningfully, "She looks unfamiliar. Where did Yue'er find her?"

Mu Yue tilted her head and said innocently, "I met her in the Xin Zhe Ku. I felt a connection with her, so I kept her."

After confirming Wei Jingzhu's origins, Kangxi stopped asking further questions.

He patted Mu Yue's head and said with a smile, "Yue'er, would you like to go see Consort Yi and the little brother in her belly?"

Mu Yue guessed that Consort Yi's belly was already quite big, and if a child like her went there, she would inevitably be taken advantage of.

Even with the Emperor by his side, it's impossible to guard against everything.

Moreover, she also wanted to tell her mother-in-law about Wei Jingzhu's matter, so that no one would use this to scheme against her.

Moreover, she felt that Consort Yi definitely didn't want to see her right now.

Thinking of this, Mu Yue quickly looked up at Kangxi, "Father, you can go see Consort Yi yourself, Yue'er won't go!"

Without waiting for Kangxi to speak, she hurriedly turned and left, and the servants following behind her also quickly left.

Disturbed by Mu Yue, Kangxi's initial pity for Wuya vanished instantly.

It turned into guilt towards Consort Yi.

He lowered his head slightly to look at Wuya, who was bowing her head, and said gently, "You go back to Chengqian Palace first. I will come to see you when I have time."

After saying this, Kangxi strode into the Yikun Palace.

Uya was left standing there, her expression twisted, watching his retreating figure.

It was that brat again, ruining my plans.

That vile Consort Yi seduced the Emperor because she was pregnant; no wonder she ended up like that.

The only thing her fourth son ever did that made her happy was to ensure her old rival met a tragic end.

Thinking of the early death of Yinzhuo, Lady Wuya hated Yinzhen even more.

Now, she can only regain the emperor's favor by relying on her status as the birth mother of Yinzhen and her understanding of the emperor.

Otherwise, she would never have been able to have a second child, let alone carry out her grand plans.

Uya twisted the handkerchief in her hand, her expression becoming increasingly distorted.

At the same time, Mu Yue, who had run away, suddenly heard a system notification.

[By sabotaging Uya's favor, points +500]

It seems that the Emperor has temporarily given up on favoring Lady Uya.

However, it's impossible for her to thwart Wuya's plans every time.

Mu Yue rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought.

She made her decision not long after.

Tonight, she will use her dream-entry technique to tell her father about the earthquake, so that Uya will not profit from it.

Thinking this, Mu Yue's mood improved again.

She walked briskly towards Kunning Palace.

The servants of Kunning Palace were all surprised to see a beautiful and graceful palace maid following Mu Yue.

Mu Yue paid no attention to the servants' reactions and led Wei Jingzhu toward the main hall of Kunning Palace.

When the Empress saw Mu Yue return, she smiled gently and was about to speak when she noticed the unfamiliar woman following behind Mu Yue.

Wei Jingzhu's face was simply too exquisite.

No matter who it is, they will be immediately attracted by her face when they see her.

The Empress was no exception.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace all came from the Imperial Household Department.

If she had seen such a handsome man before, she would never forget him.

But the Empress had absolutely no recollection of that face.

She frowned slightly as she looked at Mu Yue. "Yue'er, who is this person behind you?"

Mu Yue hurriedly told the Empress everything she had done that day.

When the Empress heard that Emperor Kangxi had seen the palace maid, her expression instantly turned somewhat unpleasant.

Such an exquisite person is unforgettable even for a woman like her, let alone His Majesty.

Why would Yue'er bring this person out of the Xin Zhe Ku when everything is fine?

A bitter feeling rose in the Empress's heart.

Mu Yue vaguely sensed that the Empress was not in a good mood at the moment, and noticed that the Empress's gaze was fixed on Wei Jingzhu behind her.

She rushed to the Empress's side and hugged her leg tightly. "Your Majesty, Yue'er plans to keep this palace maid by her side!"

Even if the Emperor is the ruler of a country, he wouldn't dare to harm the maidservants around his own daughter.

What Mu Yue could think of, the Empress naturally couldn't have thought of either.

The sorrow she had been experiencing subsided somewhat after Mu Yue's words.

"Your Majesty knows."

After speaking these words to Mu Yue in a gentle voice, the Empress looked up at Wei Jingzhu.

Her expression turned serious, and her tone carried a hint of admonition, "Since Yue'er wants to keep you here, you will serve Yue'er from now on!"

"There's no need to mention those things about the Xin Zhe Ku (a place for servants).

From the moment Wei Jingzhu entered Kunning Palace, she appeared extremely uneasy. She knew that whether she could stay by the princess's side depended on the Empress's permission.

She was afraid that the Empress would look down on her for having done those dirty and tiring jobs in the Imperial Laundry and would not allow her to stay by the Princess's side.

If she were to return to the Laundry Department, she would surely suffer even more torment.

Fortunately, none of this happened.

Wei Jingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly knelt down to express her gratitude.
