Transmigrating to the Qing Dynasty: The Beloved Princess Uses a System to Change the Plot
Chapter 81 Preparing for the Full Moon Banquet
Seeing the Empress's exhausted appearance, Mu Yue swallowed the doubts that were about to come out of her mouth.
Upon hearing the news that the Empress had awakened, Emperor Kangxi rushed to Kunning Palace.
He had just been about to enter the palace when he overheard the conversation between the Empress and the others.
He then realized that the Empress's premature birth was not an accident.
He frowned and strode over to the Empress's bedside.
"I will arrange for someone to investigate this matter. The most important thing for the Empress these days is to take good care of her health. There is no need to ask about anything else."
The Empress was taken aback when she heard Kangxi's words.
In such cases, the perpetrators are usually the concubines in the harem and their families.
If the other party is a concubine whom His Majesty cares about, it is hard to guarantee that His Majesty will not cover for her.
Moreover, she now has three sons and two daughters.
In the palace, he stood out from the crowd.
Even just to maintain balance in the harem, His Majesty wouldn't allow himself to become the sole ruler.
He might even promote other concubines to compete with him.
She simply couldn't believe how much Kangxi cared about her.
However, she couldn't refuse directly, so she could only curl the corners of her lips into a gentle smile and say tactfully, "Your Majesty, the affairs of the previous dynasty are already enough for you to worry about. How could I trouble Your Majesty with this matter?"
"Besides, the people in the Imperial Garden were originally arranged by me, so investigating them won't take too much effort..."
Before the Empress could finish her refusal, Kangxi interrupted her.
"I know what I'm doing, Your Majesty need not worry. Now you only need to focus on recovering your health; leave everything else to your cousin and Consort Niohuru!"
Kangxi's words did not improve the Empress's mood; on the contrary, they made her face even paler.
She struggled to sit up, her body weak, and told Emperor Kangxi that she was fine and could continue to manage palace affairs.
But Kangxi had already turned and left, not giving her a chance to speak.
Watching Kangxi's departing figure, the Empress's body suddenly went limp.
"Granny... I've done so much, yet His Majesty still..."
Zhang, the old nanny standing nearby, was afraid that the Empress might say something she shouldn't have, so she quickly covered the Empress's mouth.
"Your Majesty is doing this because he cares about your health. Please don't misunderstand his good intentions."
As soon as Granny Zhang finished speaking, the Empress gradually calmed down.
She gave the old woman a somewhat pale smile, "Old woman is right... I was mistaken..."
For the next few days, Mu Yue spent most of her time in the Seventh Princess's room.
She knew that the items produced by the system were mostly of high quality.
However, the medicine she gave her sister did have side effects.
The nature of the side effects is not yet known.
She simply couldn't let go completely.
As time went by, Mu Yue noticed that her seventh sister showed no signs of anything amiss.
Just as she was beginning to suspect that there was something wrong with the system's prompts, the day arrived for her younger siblings' one-month celebration.
As direct descendants of the Empress, the full-moon celebrations of her younger siblings attracted a lot of attention.
The Empress was not fully recovered, and with Emperor Kangxi's orders, she was unable to personally oversee the full-moon celebrations for her younger siblings.
However, she was worried about the other concubines intervening in the matter, and was constantly frowning.
Upon learning of this, Mu Yue gritted her teeth and went to find Emperor Kangxi.
As she grew older, she realized that Kangxi was not only her father, but also the monarch of the entire Qing Dynasty.
Without his permission, she could do nothing, and even the Empress Mother was helpless.
For example, when it comes to holding a full-moon celebration for younger siblings, only the Emperor's mother can intervene if the Emperor allows it.
Mu Yue lifted her skirt and ran towards the Imperial Study, her mind filled with these thoughts.
She knew the way to the Imperial Study like the back of her hand.
Before long, she stood at the door of the Imperial Study.
In the past, she would have rushed straight into the Imperial Study, but now she chose to say to the guard at the door, "Brother Guard, is Father Emperor in the Imperial Study?"
If one were to barge into the Imperial Study without prior notice, it would certainly displease the Emperor.
At present, the Emperor's attitude towards the Empress Dowager is already unclear, so we cannot let the Emperor become more dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager because of me.
Before the guards could speak, Kangxi's voice came from the imperial study.
"Moon, come in!"
Mu Yue vaguely sensed that Kangxi's mood was not very good at the moment.
Her heart skipped a beat, but she maintained an innocent and naive expression.
She lifted her skirt, called out "Father Emperor," and ran into the Imperial Study.
As soon as Mu Yue entered the Imperial Study, she noticed a palace maid kneeling on the ground, looking disheveled.
She feigned ignorance and asked, "Father, what does this lady do?"
Emperor Kangxi did not forget Mu Yue's special status and continued to be very indulgent towards her.
But the way he looked at Mu Yue was somewhat strange.
Mu Yue keenly sensed that something was wrong.
But she was just a child now, so she could only pretend not to notice anything and tugged at Kangxi's sleeve, "Father?"
Kangxi withdrew his gaze, a smile on his face, and rubbed Muyue's head. "She's just a disloyal maid, Yue'er, don't worry about her."
Before Mu Yue could ask further, Kangxi smiled and changed the subject.
"Yue'er, what brings you to the Imperial Study to see Father Emperor today?"
"Ever since your Empress Mother gave you a younger brother or sister, you've been doting on your sister all day long, and it's been a while since you've come to the Imperial Study."
When Mu Yue heard Kangxi mention his younger siblings, she quickly smiled and said, "Father is busy with state affairs. Yue'er is no longer a child. How can I bother Father all day long?"
After Mu Yue finished speaking, she did not rush to speak, but secretly observed Kangxi's expression.
Kangxi's lips curled up slightly, making his previously superficial smile seem more genuine.
He pinched Mu Yue's still slightly chubby cheeks and said, "Yue'er is really sensible."
Before Mu Yue could even breathe a sigh of relief, Kangxi changed the subject and asked, "Since Yue'er was afraid of disturbing Father Emperor, why did you come to the Imperial Study today?"
Mu Yue knew that her acting skills probably couldn't fool Kangxi.
She immediately put on an embarrassed look, lowered her head, tugged at the hem of her clothes, and said softly, "Yue'er heard from the palace maids and eunuchs who take care of her younger siblings that their full moon celebration is coming soon. Is there anything Yue'er would like to do for her younger siblings?"
Upon hearing this, Kangxi raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with suspicion and scrutiny.
"What does Yue'er want to do?"
Mu Yue took a deep breath and explained her purpose.
"Could we entrust Yue'er to organize the full moon celebration for my younger siblings?"
When Kangxi heard Muyue's request, his first reaction was that it was instigated by the Empress.
His expression immediately turned colder, but his tone remained gentle. "Yue'er, you're just a child yourself. How can such an important matter be entrusted to you?"
