The nanny became somewhat nervous upon hearing the Crown Prince's question.

Everyone in the palace knows that the Crown Prince cares most about the Princess.

If the Crown Prince were to learn the real reason why the little princess wanted to move to the Empress Dowager's palace, he would definitely become estranged from the Empress.

As the Empress's wet nurse, Granny Zhang naturally did not want the Crown Prince and the Empress to become estranged, so she could only remain silent.

Upon seeing this, the Crown Prince looked directly at the Empress.

"Empress Mother, what exactly happened? Why did Yue'er move away?"

The Empress knew the Crown Prince's personality.

If she continues to avoid the topic, Bao Cheng will definitely find other ways to investigate the matter.

It would be better for her to tell Bao Cheng the truth, rather than to learn the completely distorted truth from others, so that Bao Cheng wouldn't be taken advantage of.

The Empress sighed and slowly said, "This was requested by your father, the Emperor."

"Empress Mother had no other choice but to let Yue'er overthrow the Ancestor's palace. The Ancestor has always liked you and Yue'er very much, and will surely take good care of Yue'er!"

The Crown Prince could sense the constant negative emotions of frustration emanating from Mu Yue.

He felt there might be other reasons behind this.

He looked up at the Empress, and was about to ask the question that had been bothering him, when the Empress changed the subject and said, “It’s not just your younger siblings’ full moon celebration, your Emperor Father will also be there. Go and change your clothes quickly, you can’t keep your Emperor Father waiting.”

Mu Yue did not want the Crown Prince to take his anger out on the Empress because of her, nor did she want her emotions to affect her younger siblings' full moon celebration.

She tugged at the disgruntled Crown Prince, "Brother Baocheng, Mother is right, let's go change our clothes!"

"It's a done deal that Yue'er is going to the Empress Dowager's palace. Even if Brother Baocheng knows what happened, it won't help. We might as well focus on the full moon celebration for our younger siblings."

The crown prince is a stubborn man and not so easy to persuade.

He frowned slightly, clearly not intending to give up so easily.

He was just about to speak when he noticed Mu Yue's pleading gaze.

After a moment of silence, the prince followed Mu Yue's lead and was pulled into the house.

Back inside, Mu Yue acted as if nothing had happened and asked with a smile, "Did Brother Bao Cheng prepare gifts for Xiao Liu and the others?"

The Crown Prince has no interest in discussing these matters at the moment.

He just wanted to find out what had happened.

But seeing Mu Yue's expression, he sighed helplessly and finally agreed with her.

The full moon celebration officially begins.

All the concubines in the palace came to Kunning Palace, including Consort Wei, who was heavily pregnant.

Mu Yue composed herself and entered the main hall of Kunning Palace with the Crown Prince.

As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw Consort Wei.

She stood with her head held high in front of her father, the Emperor.

I don't know what she said, but the Emperor had a smile on his face, as if she were the star of the day.

From their first meeting, Mu Yue disliked Consort Wei.

This remains true today.

She disregarded everything else and quickly grabbed the Crown Prince's hand, running towards Kangxi's direction.

The Empress, standing beside Emperor Kangxi, noticed the two children's actions but made no attempt to stop them.

Consort Wei's appearance today greatly displeased her.

There were many people at the full moon celebration, and she appeared with her huge belly. If anything happened, she would definitely be questioned by the emperor again.

His Majesty had previously reprimanded Consort Wei.

What is so good about Consort Wei? Why does His Majesty indulge her so much?

Thinking of this, the Empress couldn't help but glance at Consort Wei.

Mu Yue walked up to Kangxi with an innocent look on her face and asked in confusion, "The night before last, Consort Wei's personal maid came to Yue'er's palace and said that Your Highness was feeling unwell. Is she feeling better now?"

"If Her Majesty is not in good health, you do not need to attend your younger siblings' full-month celebration, lest you hurt Her Majesty and displease Father Emperor!"

Emperor Kangxi had just exchanged a few words with Consort Wei, and there was still a smile on his face.

Upon hearing Mu Yue's words, he instantly recalled what had happened the night before. The smile on his face faded, and his gaze toward Consort Wei turned cold.

Consort Wei kept a close eye on Kangxi's expression.

She noticed the change in Kangxi's expression immediately.

She lowered her eyes, adopting a submissive demeanor, and spoke gently, "This concubine did not send her personal maid to see His Majesty. There must be some misunderstanding... In any case, it is because this concubine has to keep a close eye on the people around her that she has bothered Your Highness."

Consort Wei felt that Kangxi's gaze was still very cold. She bit her lip, disregarded her discomfort, and slightly bowed, trying to give Mu Yue a deep bow.

At the same time, she showed half of her profile.

When Emperor Kangxi saw Consort Wei's reddened eyes and heavy body, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.

He bent down slightly and reached out to help Consort Wei up.

"Yue'er, the incident last night was indeed a misunderstanding. Consort Wei has already explained it to Father Emperor. Yue'er doesn't need to keep it to herself."

Mu Yue noticed that Kangxi looked at Consort Wei with a very gentle gaze.

She knew that her father's heart had already turned towards her, so she didn't say anything more. She just glanced at Consort Wei and then looked away.

Historically and in the book, although Consort Wei became one of the Emperor's concubines, she was not very favored.

Especially after giving birth to a lame prince, she was even less favored by her father, the Emperor.

Everything I'm seeing now is completely different from what I knew; someone must have done something behind it.

Mu Yue immediately thought of Wuya, who had been sent to the Cold Palace.

She had a premonition that Consort Wei was inextricably linked to her.

We need to find a way to verify this guess!

Mu Yue withdrew her gaze, having already made up her mind.

"Yue'er understands, but Yue'er remembers that the Empress Mother was carrying such a big belly when she went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, which is why the accident happened. So I'm a little worried about Consort Wei."

"Why don't you send Consort Wei back to the palace alone, Father? Yue'er is terrified of seeing that scene again..."

As Mu Yue spoke, her eyes welled up with tears, as if she were recalling that day, and she looked rather pitiful.

Emperor Kangxi was very indulgent towards his daughter, Muyue.

He was more unwilling to see Mu Yue fall into nightmares than to see Consort Wei's feelings.

He immediately looked at Consort Wei, who was standing in front of him with a somewhat nervous expression, and said, "What Yue'er said makes some sense. I will have Liang Ruhai escort you back to the palace!"

Consort Wei was unwilling to leave just like that.

She raised her somewhat pale face and looked at Kangxi, "Your Majesty, before attending the full moon ceremony, I had the imperial physician examine my pulse, and there was nothing seriously wrong with me..."

Emperor Kangxi disliked people disobeying him.

Moreover, he doted on Consort Wei precisely because of her gentle and compliant nature, like a tender and understanding flower.

His face immediately turned cold. "I don't like repeating myself!"
