Today, Xue shook off the people following her and climbed a tree by herself. She swung her short legs and sat on the trunk.

She has now toured the entire palace, which can be considered as making up for her regret. In modern times, she had always wanted to visit the Forbidden City, but unfortunately, she didn't have the time.

Now it's great that not only do we have time, but there are also no restrictions; we can go wherever we want.

He Xue pondered what she should do next. She had read time-travel novels before, in which time-traveling women lived a very successful life in ancient times, inventing glass, making soap, building cement and roads, and inoculating people to fight smallpox.

He Xue also wanted to shine brightly in ancient times like these people, but she didn't know any of those things.

He Xue also figured out that since she couldn't change the world, she might as well be content to be a freeloader! As long as she clung to a powerful figure, she would have no problem being well-fed and clothed.

Right now, the most powerful figure is Emperor Kangxi. Through observation over the past few years, Kangxi has treated her fairly well. Although he may not be extremely fond of her, he is at least somewhat fond of her. As long as she doesn't do anything reckless, they can live in peace.

Secondly, there was Consort Tongjia. She could see that Consort Tongjia genuinely loved her, and she also truly liked Consort Tongjia. Moreover, she noticed that whenever Consort Tongjia was happy, Emperor Kangxi seemed to like her a little more.

Finally, there's the Crown Prince. Although he's still young, this is the time when Emperor Kangxi truly dotes on him. In the entire palace, besides Emperor Kangxi, the Crown Prince is the most powerful. Perhaps because of her arrival, the Crown Prince's fate might change!

Of course, it's also essential to maintain a good relationship with the chubby orange cat, because until the very end, no one knows who the final winner will be.

He Xue felt she had been out for quite a while, and if she didn't return soon, Consort Tongjia would be worried. He Xue then realized she couldn't get down; there was no one around. How was she supposed to get down?

He Xue looked at the ground; if she jumped down directly, she would probably get hurt.

"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?" He Xue's voice was a little hoarse from shouting, but no one came. He Xue lowered her head in frustration.

"He Xue, is it that you can't get down?"

Hearing that familiar voice, He Xue's eyes lit up. "Brother Crown Prince, I can't go down!"

The prince looked at the little girl in the tree and said helplessly, "Jump down! I'll catch you!"

He Xue hesitated. What if she jumped and hurt the Crown Prince? After all, she felt that the Crown Prince was just a child older than her!

"Brother Crown Prince, why don't you find someone else? I'm very heavy, what if I hit you?"

The crown prince smiled and said, "It's alright, I can still catch you!"

Hearing what the Crown Prince said, she jumped down without hesitation and was caught firmly by the prince.

The prince put He Xue down on the ground and stroked her hair. "You can't do this again. What if I hadn't come to see you today?"

"I understand!" He Xue said, holding the prince's hand. "Brother Prince, could you please not tell Aunt? I'm afraid she'll worry!"

"Okay, but this is the last time!"

"Okay! Thank you, Crown Prince!" He Xue said happily.

"Let's go! I'll take you back to Chengqian Palace!" The Crown Prince took He Xue's hand and they walked towards Chengqian Palace together.

On the way back to Chengqian Palace, He Xue encountered Nan Xing and Xia Bing, who were looking for her. These two people were found for her by Consort Tongjia and had been following her around.

Nanxing and Xia Bing felt that if they couldn't find Hexue again, they would probably have to tell Consort Tongjia that they had only gone to get something for Hexue, but when they came back, Hexue was gone.

"Nanxing, Xiabing, I'm here!" Hexue waved to Nanxing and Hehuan.

Nanxing and Xia Bing then noticed He Xue standing in front of them. The two of them ran up to He Xue and asked, "Princess, where have you been?"

"I went for a walk in front and forgot to tell you!" Seeing Nanxing and Xia Bing's anxious look, He Xue felt a little guilty.

"This is the last time. If I find out again that you abandoned He Xue, I will not let you off easily!" the Crown Prince said sternly.

Nanxing and Xia Bing then noticed that the person next to He Xue was actually the Crown Prince. They hurriedly knelt down and said, "Greetings, Your Highness. I beg Your Highness's forgiveness. This servant will not do it again!"

“Brother Crown Prince, this time it was my fault, it has nothing to do with Nanxing and Xia Bing, please don’t punish them!” He Xue said, shaking the Crown Prince’s hand.

"Alright!" the Crown Prince said to He Xue with affection, then turned to look at Nan Xing expressionlessly. Xia Bing said, "That's enough for now. If there's a next time, you'll have to take your punishment yourselves!"

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Princess!" Nanxing said to Xia Bing.

The prince led He Xue and continued walking forward.
