Mu Yue didn't pay any attention to what the little eunuch said.

All her attention was drawn to a plant not far away.

The leaves are slender, with a slightly yellowish tinge around them.

You can also see long, thin fruits hanging on the plant.

Isn't this... a chili pepper?

Looking at the chili pepper sprouts in front of her, Mu Yue's mouth began to water, and she thought of hot pot and other dishes that required chili peppers.

She hurriedly instructed Chunju, "Find the people from Lin Heng's Office to dig up this seedling and bring it back to Kunning Palace!"

Just then, not far from Mu Yue, several eunuchs were carrying a large bamboo basket containing several round objects.

Mu Yue's eyes lit up instantly, and she leaned closer to the bamboo basket to check it carefully.

Sure enough, what was in the bamboo basket were potatoes, a common sight in later generations.

She remembered that potatoes had a high yield, producing many on a single plant, and were not difficult to grow.

Most importantly, there are many ways to eat it, and they are all delicious.

Thinking of this, Mu Yue instantly conjured up many delicious potato dishes in her mind.

She immediately said excitedly to the eunuchs carrying the basket, "Take this basket of fruit to Kunning Palace, I have a use for it!"

Before the young eunuch could speak, the eunuch who had just brought the colorful gifts into the room came out again.

Seeing that Mu Yue was still in Lin Heng's residence, the little eunuch's face immediately turned cold, and he scolded her impatiently, "Where did you come from, girl? This is not a place for you. Why aren't you leaving?"

The other eunuchs who overheard this couldn't help but show some surprise on their faces.

"Chen Yuan, are you out of your mind? This is a princess from the palace!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan sneered and said arrogantly, "Princess? So what?"

He will soon be serving important people.

Why should he waste his time on an unloved princess?

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan impatiently scolded the other eunuchs, "What are you all standing here for? There's an orchid to be delivered to the Imperial Concubine's palace. Are you sure you want to waste your time on an unfavored princess?"

Seeing Chen Yuan's attitude, Chunju stepped forward and slapped him without saying a word.

"How dare a mere servant disrespect the princess!"

Chen Yuan stared blankly, covering his cheek, his expression twisted.

Mu Yue didn't even glance at him, frowned, and instructed Chunju, "Chunju, arrange for a few people to deliver the contents of this basket to Kunning Palace!"

Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Yuan lunged towards Mu Yue.

Chunju reacted quickly and immediately directed the people serving Muyue to pull him away.

They sent the person directly to the Department of Penal Justice.

[Host has changed Chen Yuan's fate, gaining 500 points!]

Mu Yue glanced at Chen Yuan in surprise.

Changing his fate and gaining so many points suggests that his true identity is more than what he currently appears to be.

But none of this matters.

She also wanted to see if the Lin Hengshu plantation had any other plants of greater value.

After searching for a long time, Mu Yue found several useful plants and directed her servants to deliver them to Kunning Palace. Following these flowerpots of varying sizes back to Kunning Palace, Mu Yue bumped into the Empress.

The Empress's belly is now showing, and she has gained some weight.

Most of the palace affairs were handled by Consort Tong and Consort Niohuru.

Seeing the servants bringing pot after pot of flowers and plants, the Empress couldn't help but feel a little strange.

She frowned and asked, "What are all these? Who sent them?"

Mu Yue happened to hear the question and hurriedly replied, "Empress Mother, these are all very useful things. Yue'er found them with great difficulty!"

The Empress initially intended to refuse, but remembering Mu Yue's special status, she remained silent for a moment before nodding.

Over the next few days, Mu Yue spent most of her time in the kitchen.

A strange fragrance wafted from Kunning Palace from time to time.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangxi strode toward the Kunning Palace.

Just then, I saw Mu Yue carrying several plates and walking towards the main store, with an excited look on her face.

Kangxi raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is that Yue'er carrying? It smells so good."

Just as Mu Yue was about to make her introduction, Emperor Kangxi arrived.

Her eyes lit up instantly.

She needs the Emperor's help to promote what she discovered!

She hurriedly placed the plate she was holding on the table.

She then ran to Kangxi's side, took his hand, and walked towards the table.

"This is a wonderful thing that Yue'er found at Lin Heng's residence. Why don't you guess what it is, Father Emperor?"

Kangxi smiled and tapped Muyue's nose, his tone somewhat helpless, "Father didn't see anything, so how could he guess what good thing Yue'er found?"

Noticing the disappointment that flashed in Mu Yue's eyes, Kangxi changed the subject with a smile and said, "Why don't you give your father some hints, Yue'er?"

Mu Yue smiled secretly and reached out to lift one of the plates.

On a white jade plate were arranged slightly yellow, thread-like substances, emitting a fragrant aroma.

Kangxi examined it carefully, but still had no clue.

He shook his head and said helplessly, "Can Yue'er tell Father Emperor the answer?"

"Father really can't guess it right now!"

Mu Yue took out a potato that hadn't been peeled yet.

"There are potatoes in the plate!"

Potato?

Kangxi looked somewhat stunned, as he was completely unfamiliar with these two names.

Was this thing discovered in Lin Heng's residence?

"Most of the plants in Linheng Department are inedible. Did Yue'er get all these things from Linheng Department?"

Mu Yue nodded and excitedly introduced the information about potatoes.

As he listened, Kangxi finally reconciled the information about potatoes mentioned by Mu Yue with the information reported by Lin Hengshu.

He picked up the lid from the side, put it on the potato, frowned, and looked nervous. "Yue'er, who gave you this?"

"This fruit is poisonous and should not be eaten at all!"

As he spoke, Kangxi gestured to the servants beside him to come forward and throw away the contents of the plates.

Mu Yue quickly stepped forward to stop Kangxi, "Father, what are you doing? These things took Yue'er a lot of effort to make!"

Kangxi frowned and easily brushed aside Muyue's small, short hand.

"Lin Hengshu submitted a memorial before, saying that someone had been poisoned after eating this stuff. I'm afraid Yue'er has been deceived."

Upon hearing this, the Empress frowned and joined in persuading Mu Yue, "Yue'er, your imperial father would never harm you, please step aside!"

Mu Yue stood firmly in front of the servants who were carrying the plates, insisting, "No way!"

Kangxi bent down and picked up the frantic Mu Yue, asking, "These things are poisonous. Who gave them to you?"

Emperor Kangxi already suspected that someone might be trying to use this incident to harm the child in the Empress's womb.

Mu Yue watched helplessly as the servants, under Kangxi's orders, took away the fries and other delicacies she had painstakingly prepared, which she hadn't even had a chance to taste. Her eyes reddened with anxiety, and she hurriedly shouted, "The potatoes aren't poisonous if they haven't turned green, Father Emperor! Tell them to put them down!"
