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

"As long as you have no ulterior motives, I will definitely protect you!"

Wei Jingzhu looked at Mu Yue with gratitude.

Mu Yue didn't take this matter to heart, and naturally didn't tell the Empress.

However, the Empress still found out about it.

Recalling Kangxi's indulgence of Wei Caiwei, the Empress hesitated for a long time before finally summoning Wei Jingzhu.

After Wei Jingzhu arrived, the Empress asked directly, "Are you willing to become the Emperor's woman?"

Wei Jingzhu instinctively widened her eyes, dumbfounded, wondering if there was something wrong with her ears.

"Your Majesty, are you joking with me?"

"This servant is of humble appearance and truly uninteresting in nature. I only wish to serve Your Highness and have no rebellious thoughts whatsoever!"

The Empress was not angry at Wei Jingzhu's refusal.

She scrutinized Wei Jingzhu carefully. "I was not joking with you!"

"The Emperor favors Wei Caiwei, showering her with gifts. If Wei Caiwei were to give birth to a prince, the Emperor would likely favor her even more."

"I will not allow any other princes in the palace. The princess is more favored than the crown prince and Yue'er. I need someone to share Wei Caiwei's favor!"

The best person to choose from should have been someone close to her.

Before making a decision, the Empress suddenly remembered that Emperor Kangxi had asked Wei Jingzhu about this matter many times before.

She immediately changed her target.

Upon hearing the Empress's words, Wei Jingzhu's eyes widened in surprise.

Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, held a hint of confusion and helplessness.

"Your Majesty...this servant...this servant..."

Her tone was unusually flustered, as if she was afraid that if she responded too slowly, the Empress would think that she had other ideas.

Seeing Wei Jingzhu's appearance, the Empress was not surprised.

She smiled gently, "Don't panic. I know your personality. If you really don't want to, I won't force you!"

"But you should know that being beautiful is not a good thing in the palace. With your looks, even if you don't enter the harem, you will attract the jealousy of countless concubines..."

Wei Jingzhu fell silent.

She kept her head down, all her expressions hidden in the shadows.

After a long while, she said softly, "This servant promised Your Highness that I would always serve you. This servant cannot betray Your Highness."

The Empress reacted very strongly to Wei Jingzhu's reaction.

If she agrees immediately, the Empress will regret her decision.

She looked at Wei Jingzhu, her expression softening slightly, "I know you care about Yue'er, and that's precisely why you should agree to my request."

Wei Jingzhu looked puzzled.

She didn't understand what the Empress meant.

After the Empress gave a brief explanation, Wei Jingzhu immediately changed her mind.

She nodded, accepting the Queen's suggestion.

Now that she has made her choice, she should leave the princess's side.

Wei Jingzhu returned to Mu Yue's side, hesitating several times as if she wanted to say something, her expression tense.

Mu Yue knew that Wei Jingzhu had just returned from the Empress Dowager's place.

Seeing her like this, Mu Yue immediately asked, "What did the Empress Dowager say to you that makes you so absent-minded?"

Wei Jingzhu pursed her lips, which were a little dry from nervousness, and said softly, "This servant wishes to serve the Empress Dowager."

The curious look on Mu Yue's face vanished instantly.

She looked at Wei Jingzhu expressionlessly, "You should know what this choice means. Are you planning to betray me?"

Her tone carried a hint of displeasure, and the way she looked at Wei Jingzhu changed.

Wei Jingzhu felt extremely uncomfortable under Mu Yue's gaze.

Remembering the Empress's instructions, Wei Jingzhu stammered and couldn't give a complete explanation.

Mu Yue looked at Wei Jingzhu's appearance, a complicated expression flashing in her eyes.

"Since you have found a better place to go, I will not stop you. From now on, you will have nothing to do with me!"

Mu Yue glanced at Wei Jingzhu, then turned and left.

Wei Jingzhu stared blankly at Mu Yue's departing figure.

She wanted to explain, but then she remembered the Empress's words.

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as Mu Yue left.

Before Wei Jingzhu could be transferred to serve the Empress Dowager, an accident occurred.

On this day, Emperor Kangxi suddenly arrived at Kunning Palace for reasons unknown.

The empress was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up instantly, and the corners of her mouth turned up even higher.

She walked quickly to Kangxi's side. "Your Majesty, what brings you to my Kunning Palace today?"

Kangxi scrutinized the Empress with sharp eyes. "What? Is the Empress not welcoming me, or is she complaining about me?"

The Empress hadn't expected that a simple joke would displease Kangxi so much. She frowned slightly, looking puzzled, and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, why do you ask such a question?"

"Your Majesty has not set foot in Kunning Palace for some time now. I am overjoyed that you have finally set foot in my Kunning Palace. How could I not welcome you? Could it be that someone said something to Your Majesty?"

Emperor Kangxi felt that the Empress was trying to sow discord between him and his expression immediately turned cold.

He sneered and retorted, "Does the Empress think Consort Wei is slandering you?"

Wei concubine?

The Empress was taken aback. Was His Majesty's anger related to Consort Wei?

The Empress frowned, her lips pressed tightly together. She wanted to say something in her defense, but felt wronged and was unwilling to speak.

She lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing the Empress's appearance, Kangxi sensed that she was feeling guilty.

His anger intensified, and he questioned, "Today, Consort Wei said that the medicine for preventing miscarriage that the palace maids sent to her was laced with musk. How does the Empress explain this?"

Upon hearing Kangxi's questioning tone, the Empress immediately raised her head.

The smile on her face had long since vanished, and she looked at Kangxi in disbelief, "Could it be that in Your Majesty's eyes I am such a heartless person?"

"I am now pregnant and cannot come into contact with musk. Moreover, Consort Wei is not the only one in the palace who has His Majesty's child. Why would I want to harm Consort Wei?"

The Empress was on the verge of tears, her body swaying slightly, her pregnant belly particularly noticeable.

Emperor Kangxi noticed the Empress's belly and thought of his two children; reason prevailed over anger.

He coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and said, "That's not what I meant..."

The empress remained silent.

She lowered her head, hiding her hurt expression in the shadows, and took a few steps back, widening the distance between herself and Kangxi.

The atmosphere inside the hall became somewhat oppressive as she moved.

Mu Yue suddenly rushed in from outside.

Her childish voice rang out, "Father, you've finally come to see Yue'er! Yue'er missed you so much..."

Mu Yue hugged Kangxi's leg tightly, her chubby face slightly raised, her eyes full of affection.

The atmosphere inside the hall softened a bit as Mu Yue's childish voice rang out.

The Empress suppressed her hurt feelings about being misunderstood, put on a gentle smile, and bent down to ask Mu Yue with concern, "Yue'er, why did you come here so suddenly, and why did you run so fast?"

She took the handkerchief in her hand and gently wiped the sweat from Mu Yue's forehead. "Why didn't Chunju and the others try to stop her..."

Mu Yue tugged at the Empress's sleeve and said coquettishly, "I heard from the nanny that Your Majesty hasn't been sleeping well these past few days, so I was a little worried and rushed to find you. It has nothing to do with Chunju and the others, Your Majesty, please don't be angry..."

Mu Yue blinked her watery eyes and smiled ingratiatingly at the Empress.

Emperor Kangxi noticed that the Empress's heavy body remained bent over and her face had turned pale. He quickly reached out and picked Muyue up.
