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

Time flies by unnoticed, and autumn arrives quickly.

As the impact of the earth's upheaval diminished, the lives of ordinary people in the capital gradually returned to normal.

Mu Yue received an invitation from Consort Tong to have some snacks at her place.

There were also some gifts from Longkodo.

I remember how Bao Cheng always looked dissatisfied whenever something related to Longkodo came up.

Mu Yue decided not to tell the Crown Prince about this.

She told the Queen about the invitation she had received.

The Empress's first reaction upon hearing this was to refuse.

She did not want her daughter, whom she had raised with such care, to become closer to Consort Tong.

But Mu Yue put on an expectant look.

Left with no other choice, the Empress said, "I will go with you!"

I believe Consort Tong will not refuse.

After getting ready, the Empress took Mu Yue and headed towards Chengqian Palace.

Consort Tong was somewhat surprised to see the Empress appear with Mu Yue.

But he soon remembered that Kangxi had mentioned Muyue's kidnapping before, and felt that he could understand it.

She greeted the Empress with a smile.

Before she could exchange a few pleasantries with the Empress, she saw a palace maid walking toward her with a joyful expression.

Consort Tong had a good memory; she remembered that this palace maid lived with Lady Wuya in the servants' quarters of Chengqian Palace.

Could it be that Uya has caused trouble again?

Consort Tong immediately had a bad feeling.

The palace maid acted as if she hadn't seen the Empress at all, and without bowing, excitedly announced, "Your Highness, Consort Wuya is pregnant with the Emperor's son!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the Empress's and Consort Tong's faces immediately became quite interesting.

The Empress remembered Uya.

She was the only woman who gave birth to a prince but did not yet have a suitable status.

I don't know why the Emperor treats this person so specially.

Consort Tong, however, did not forget the humiliation that Uya had brought her, as well as her behavior of contacting Yinzhen behind her back.

Upon hearing the palace maid's words, she sneered, "Is that so?"

The palace maid who came to deliver the message seemed oblivious to the unusual tone in Consort Tong's voice and nodded affirmatively.

"When Uya got up today, she smelled the meat in her food and felt nauseous. Moreover, her period has not started this month."

"According to Lady Wuya, she was favored by the Emperor at the beginning of last month, and it must have been then that she became pregnant with his child!"

The Empress suddenly remembered the day Mu Yue was kidnapped. The Emperor rushed over upon receiving the news, still carrying a faint scent of perfume.

Could it be that day?

While Yue'er endures the fear of being kidnapped, the Emperor is indulging in debauchery with another man, indulging in lewdness in broad daylight!

The more the Empress thought about it, the uglier her face became.

"Sister Tong, do you mind if I say a few words?"

The palace maid thought the Empress was going to reward Uya, and her expression became even more excited.

It is said that when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs rise to heaven; perhaps I will soon be able to climb to a higher position myself.

To everyone's surprise, the Empress's tone was icy: "I have records here of all my sisters' sexual encounters, but there is no record of Uya Shi."

Although she didn't say it directly, everyone present understood what the Empress meant.

Consort Tong, echoing the Empress's words, said, "As a palace maid, instead of serving her mistress, she casually seduces men, gets pregnant with a child of unknown origin, and then tries to push it onto her cousin, the Emperor. What audacity!"

Judging from the child's probability, it was most likely that the child was Kangxi's. Consort Tong swallowed back the words "bastard child" that were about to come out of her mouth.

"Granny, go and summon Lady Wuya. The royal bloodline must not be confused. My sister, the Empress, and I need to confirm this matter carefully to prevent anyone from plotting against us."

Mu Yue frowned as she listened to Consort Tong and the Empress's words, pondering deeply.

Uya clan probably doesn't have that kind of guts.

This child must be the Emperor's.

Mu Yue calculated the time mentioned by the palace maid and realized it was exactly the day she was kidnapped.

The kidnapping was certainly not an accident.

When Father Emperor appeared that day, he had a look of guilt on his face.

She originally thought that her father felt guilty for not protecting her, but she never expected that her father had been seduced by Uya at that time.

It seems that Uya realized that every time she appeared, it would ruin her plans, so she deliberately had someone kidnap her.

Those palace maids didn't find much useful information before they were gone.

Uya, what a clever trick!

She was reborn, gained the advantage, but she was no less capable herself.

Mu Yue remembered that Wuya's father, Wuyamutuo, was the chief steward of the imperial kitchen.

Therefore, everything went very smoothly for Lady Uya since she entered the palace.

Furthermore, with the bondservants helping each other, it's impossible to find any evidence.

But sometimes, some things don't need evidence.

With an innocent look, Mu Yue asked the Empress, "Empress Mother, is there going to be another younger brother in the palace?"

"Why don't you, Mother Empress, try to persuade Father Emperor?"

Mu Yue's words were somewhat strange, which surprised Consort Tong and the Empress present.

The Empress frowned, looking at Mu Yue with some confusion. "Yue'er, why are you suddenly saying this? What do you want your mother to persuade your father about?"

Mu Yue pouted and whispered, "When Yue'er passed by the Imperial Kitchen earlier, she heard the servants serving her elder sister go to fetch food, but the head of the Imperial Kitchen said that there weren't many good things in the palace and that they had to be saved for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor Father."

"At first, Yue'er thought the steward was right, but she had the chance to see her eldest sister and discovered that the meals her eldest sister ate outside the palace cost only a few copper coins!"

"Even many things are more expensive in the palace than outside. Yue'er thinks that Father Emperor will soon be unable to support so many people. It would be better to let the concubines in the palace have fewer younger brothers and sisters!"

Uya and Emperor Kangxi appeared one after the other in the main hall of Chengqian Palace.

Both of them heard clearly what Mu Yue had just said.

Emperor Kangxi had an excellent memory and immediately recalled that the head of the imperial kitchen was the father of Lady Wuya.

He glanced at Uya, who was walking in front of him, and felt a growing displeasure.

"Yue'er, even if we have a few more younger brothers and sisters, Father Emperor can still afford to raise them!"

Kangxi strode past Wuya and came to Muyue's side, picking her up in his arms, his tone tinged with helplessness.

Why is the Empress at Chengqian Palace today?

Before the Empress could answer Kangxi's question, the maid who had just come to announce the good news subtly tugged at her clothes and bowed with a slight twist of her body.

At the same time, it was said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the imminent arrival of a son!"

Kangxi's first reaction was to look at the Empress and Consort Tong, assuming that one of them was pregnant.

However, the imperial physicians concluded that the Empress would not be able to conceive.

Consort Tong, on the other hand, had difficulty conceiving.

The chances of either of them being pregnant are slim.

Emperor Kangxi frowned and asked, "Empress, cousin, what exactly happened?"

Consort Tong did not speak, but merely snorted coldly, her beautiful face showing a hint of visible dissatisfaction.

As the mother of the nation, the empress could not show her dissatisfaction, even if she was inwardly unhappy.

She sighed helplessly and said, "This palace maid just came to report that Lady Wuya is pregnant, probably a little over a month ago!"
