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

Mu Yue looked at Kangxi pitifully, her small, delicate hands tugging at his dragon robe, pleading softly, "Father... please grant Yue'er's request!"

She blinked her watery eyes, looking both pitiful and adorable.

Kangxi did not refuse immediately.

He stared expressionlessly at Mu Yue, who was clinging to him and acting coquettishly.

Mu Yue felt a chill run down her spine from being stared at, and her grip on Kangxi's robe loosened slightly, her expression becoming somewhat tense.

She pursed her lips and called out softly, "Father Emperor?"

"Does Yue'er really want to do this? Aren't you afraid of ruining your younger siblings' full moon celebration?"

If we leave it to her, at least our younger siblings' safety will be guaranteed.

If it were any other concubine, I'm afraid...

Mu Yue wasn't stupid; she knew what was on her mind but couldn't say it aloud.

She nodded vigorously to show how much she cared about the matter.

Emperor Kangxi remained silent for a moment, but did not immediately refuse.

He looked at Mu Yue and recalled the immortals he had dreamed of before, and Mu Yue's special qualities.

"You go back first. Your father needs to discuss this matter with your mother!"

Mu Yue was stunned for a moment when she heard Kangxi's words, but soon a smile appeared on her face.

If Father Emperor says this, it means there's a chance of success.

She couldn't continue pleading, lest it backfire and displease her father.

Thinking of this, Mu Yue pursed her lips, bowed, and left the Imperial Study.

On her way back, she kept thinking about the matter.

The next morning, at Kunning Palace.

The empress had not slept all night; she was pale and seemed dazed.

As soon as Mu Yue entered the main hall, she saw the Empress looking like this.

She hurried towards the Empress, a hint of worry in her eyes, "Empress Mother?"

The Empress pursed her lips, coming back to her senses.

She stretched out her slender fingers and gently touched Mu Yue's cheek, her eyes filled with hesitation.

Mu Yue sensed that the Empress had something on her mind, and that it was related to her.

She pondered for a moment, pursed her lips, and asked softly, "Does Your Majesty have something to say to Yue'er?"

The Empress looked at her obedient and sensible daughter, her feelings were somewhat complicated.

But right now, her other children need her care more, and she can't abandon the Crown Prince.

The Empress hesitated for a long time.

In the end, a decision was made.

"Yue'er has always admired the Empress Dowager. Would you be willing to live by Sumalagu's side?"

Mu Yue was stunned when she saw the Empress's question.

Is the Empress Dowager abandoning me?

The thought flashed through her mind instantly, and her eyes immediately turned red.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

Mu Yue looked at the Empress with a wronged expression, "Did Yue'er do something wrong? Yue'er will change... Empress Mother, please don't leave Yue'er..."

As Mu Yue spoke, tears streamed down her face.

She sobbed softly, even the tip of her nose was flushed with a hint of grievance.

Ignoring her own exhaustion, the Empress quickly bent down and embraced Mu Yue, her eyes slightly red.

"Your Majesty also wants to keep Yue'er here, but some things are not within Your Majesty's control!"

"Yue'er is healthy and has abilities that others don't have. Even if she moves to the Empress Dowager's palace, she will live a good life."

"But your younger siblings need your mother's care, and your mother has to choose between you..."

As the empress spoke, her breathing became rapid, and her voice trembled slightly.

Mu Yue understood the Empress's meaning.

In the past, she was always the one sacrificed between her and her brother, and that remains true today.

She knew that her mother-in-law didn't not care about her; it was just that her mother-in-law cared more about others than about her.

Mu Yue felt heartbroken and couldn't stop the tears from falling.

She was sobbing, feeling a little short of breath.

Mu Yue lowered her head, refusing to look at the Empress, while struggling incessantly to break free from the Empress's embrace.

She didn't want to see the Empress right now, afraid that she might say something hurtful.

The empress was in poor health at this time.

Mu Yue didn't have to exert much effort to break free from the Empress's embrace.

She silently shed tears, took a few steps back, and then ran out of Kunning Palace with her head down.

Lost in her own emotions, Mu Yue didn't notice the person walking towards her and bumped into their arms.

Realizing she had bumped into someone, Mu Yue's mind, which had been clouded by grief, cleared up slightly.

With her eyes red and swollen from crying, she looked up and saw Longkodo standing in front of her, along with Consort Tong and her entourage.

Consort Tong felt a pang of heartache when she saw Mu Yue crying like a pitiful rabbit.

She immediately bent down, took out the handkerchief in her hand, and gently wiped away the tears on Mu Yue's face. "Why are you crying, Yue'er? Did someone bully you?"

Mu Yue knew that Consort Tong treated her very well.

But Mu Yue dared not tell Consort Tong what had happened to her.

She feared that the Empress would be punished for this.

She gently twitched the tip of her delicate nose, trying to be polite, and attempted to put on her usual smile.

However, she wasn't very good at hiding her emotions.

Consort Tong looked at her awkward smile with a helpless expression.

She took Mu Yue's hand and said gently, "If Yue'er doesn't want to talk about it, then Consort Tong won't ask."

"Consort Tong has some freshly made milk cakes. Would Yue'er like to try some?"

Mu Yue did not refuse and obediently let Consort Tong pull her to Chengqian Palace.

Longkodo, standing to the side, would glance at Mu Yue from time to time, his face showing undisguised worry.

After eating the milk cake, Mu Yue's mood improved a lot, but she still seemed much more listless than her usual lively self.

Consort Tong glanced at her younger brother's worried expression, then at Mu Yue, and made a decision in her heart.

"Longkodo, weren't you always thinking about Yue'er at home? Now that you've seen her, why aren't you saying anything?"

Longkodo is a smart man.

He didn't mention Mu Yue often at home.

Upon hearing Consort Tong's words, he pondered for a moment and then understood what she meant.

He nodded slightly.

"Moon, I've prepared a gift for you, but I don't want anyone else to know. Would you like to come with me to the courtyard?"

Mu Yue was still feeling a bit down.

Upon hearing Longkodo's words, she instinctively looked in his direction.

Her red eyes blinked incessantly, and she repeated, with a confused expression, "Go to the yard?"

Longkodo nodded, and asked again with some anticipation, "Would Yue'er be willing?"

Mu Yue glanced at Consort Tong, then at Longkodo, and finally nodded.

Having received Mu Yue's answer, Longkodo didn't hesitate at all. He grabbed Mu Yue's wrist and pulled her towards the courtyard.

Seeing Longkodo's eager expression, Mu Yue couldn't help but become interested in the gift in his hand.

As soon as she stood in the yard, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Big brother, what gift do you have for me?"
