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

Mu Yue carefully examined the palace maid in front of her, her brows furrowing slightly as she grew increasingly confused.

The Empress Dowager's people?

I don't think I've seen this palace maid on my previous visits to Cining Palace!

Normally, the Empress Dowager would arrange for Sumalagu to deliver the message, so why is there a completely new face today?

Mu Yue looked at the palace maid in front of her with suspicion, "You are the Empress Dowager's person, then why have I never seen you at the Empress Dowager's place?"

Suddenly, the palace maid's legs went weak, and she knelt down in front of Mu Yue with a thud. "Your Highness, I am indeed a servant of Cining Palace. I have come to deliver a reward to Her Majesty the Empress!"

"Even if Her Highness is favored in the palace, she cannot slander this servant at will..."

As the palace maid spoke, her eyes reddened, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Mu Yue stared blankly at the scene before her.

She frowned slightly, looking puzzled. "I didn't scold you, so why are you acting like this?"

Before the palace maid could answer, Kangxi's voice came from behind.

"Moon, why is this palace maid kneeling?"

The palace maid suddenly raised her head, revealing slightly red eyes, and said in a soft voice, "This servant, Wei Caiwei, greets Your Majesty..."

Kangxi ignored Wei Caiwei and walked to Mu Yue's side.

Mu Yue pouted.

No wonder the palace maid's attitude changed so quickly; she must have noticed the Emperor.

The Emperor is really a hot commodity!

"She said she was delivering a reward on behalf of the Empress Dowager, but Yue'er didn't see anything, so she was a little curious and asked a few more questions!"

"The Empress Dowager's condition is currently special. If someone has ulterior motives, they might harm her!"

That makes sense.

The Empress Dowager's gifts had already been delivered to Kunning Palace, so why would she let an unfamiliar palace maid deliver another one?

A hint of doubt appeared in Kangxi's eyes.

He sized up Wei Caiwei in front of him.

Wei Caiwei has delicate features, and her downcast eyes make her appear very docile.

Kangxi raised an eyebrow, leaned down, and lifted Wei Caiwei's chin. "Who sent you?"

Wei Caiwei looked completely bewildered. "This servant doesn't understand what Your Majesty is talking about!"

Emperor Kangxi was not angry.

He released his hand from Wei Caiwei's chin, straightened up, and his expression turned cold. "The Empress Dowager's reward has been sent to the Empress's palace!"

Wei Caiwei was like a completely different person when she was with Emperor Kangxi.

She took out an exquisite box from her bosom.

"This is a reward that the Empress Dowager instructed me to give to the Empress..."

As Wei Caiwei spoke, she lowered her head and respectfully handed over the box in her hand.

Mu Yue leaned closer and stood on tiptoe to look at the contents of the box.

There was a hairpin in the box.

The end of the hairpin is carved into the shape of a phoenix, and the surrounding area is decorated with peony patterns.

It doesn't look complicated at all; on the contrary, it looks very elegant and luxurious.

If anyone in the palace is worthy of this hairpin, there is no one else besides the Empress.

Could Wei Caiwei really be the Empress Dowager's person?

Mu Yue frowned, looking confused.

Emperor Kangxi also saw what the hairpin looked like in the box.

He remembered that the Empress Dowager did indeed have this style of hairpin.

He personally had it delivered.

He glanced at Wei Caiwei, and the doubt on his face faded.

He took the box from Wei Caiwei's hand. "Yue'er, go find your Empress Mother. Your Father is going to Cining Palace!"

Mu Yue didn't think much of it and immediately nodded.

A few days later, Emperor Kangxi suddenly came to Kunning Palace, looking somewhat embarrassed. "Empress, I have taken the virginity of a palace maid..."

The smile on the Empress's face faded slightly after those words.

She asked gently, "What rank does His Majesty wish to bestow upon this palace maid?"

"A benefactor, perhaps!"

Emperor Kangxi coughed and said, "Arrange for her to stay with Consort Hui!"

After hurriedly saying these words, Kangxi left Kunning Palace.

Mu Yue then approached the Empress and asked about the name of the palace maid who had just been favored.

It was Wei Caiwei!

No wonder Father Emperor was so uncomfortable just now.

Seeing the Empress's somber expression, Mu Yue felt a pang of worry, "Empress Mother..."

The Empress was already used to these things.

Hearing Mu Yue's worried voice, she smiled gently as usual, "Your Majesty is alright."

It is unrealistic for a monarch to show favoritism.

Moreover, she has already aged and should not have any unrealistic desires.

These days, His Majesty has been staying at Kunning Palace frequently, which has already caused some dissatisfaction among the Empress Dowager. She has also repeatedly asked him to persuade His Majesty to extend his favors to others.

This saves me the trouble of having to ask!

Mu Yue noticed that although the Empress said she was fine, she was inevitably a little downcast.

She became even more worried!

Mu Yue even felt a bit more dissatisfied with Kangxi.

Didn't the Emperor notice Wei Caiwei's strange behavior, that he actually slept with this palace maid?

Isn't that a bit too indiscriminate?

It even made the Empress Dowager sad.

If we find something to distract Father Emperor, it will prevent him from focusing too much on the harem these days and displeasing Mother Empress!

With this in mind, Mu Yue had an idea.

Just do it.

She immediately lifted her skirt and ran towards Lin Hengshu.

The flowers, plants, and vegetation in the palace are all under the responsibility of this department.

Various special plants presented as tribute from outside the palace would be given priority to Linheng Department.

Mu Yue felt that she might be able to find some familiar plants in Lin Heng's residence.

The location of Lin Heng's office is somewhat remote.

Mu Yue ran for a long time before finally reaching her destination.

The Linhengshu area is planted with vegetation of varying heights.

Mu Yue could vaguely smell a special fragrance wafting from the tip of her nose.

She had never smelled such a scent before, and she gently sniffed around, searching for it.

Finally, it stopped on a flower with a unique appearance.

Large swathes of colorful flower buds hung from dark stems covered with sharp thorns.

It gives people a sense of danger.

Mu Yue couldn't resist squatting down in front of the flowerpot, reaching out her hand and carefully avoiding the thorns on the stem, wanting to touch the flower buds.

Before the chubby fingers could even touch the petals, a rough, large hand slapped them hard across the back of their hands.

Mu Yue's skin was delicate, and a very obvious red mark was immediately left on the back of her hand.

Her eyes welled up with tears from the physical pain, and she pouted in grievance as she looked up at the person who had hit her.

He was fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in eunuch's clothes, with a hint of impatience on his face.

Before Mu Yue could speak, the other party reprimanded her sternly, "Where did you come from, new maid? Don't you know that the flowers here are prepared for the ladies of the palace? They are very delicate and cannot be touched at all."

"This pot of vibrant flowers was specially prepared by Lin Hengshu for Her Majesty the Empress. If you are careless and break the flowers, even the Heavenly King himself cannot save you!"

The young eunuch started scolding Mu Yue without saying a word.

Then, he bent down and gently picked up the potted flower called "Colorful Flowers" and walked into the house.
