The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

As the palace banquet drew to a close, brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky.

The east wind leaves thousands of trees at night, and blows down, and the stars are like rain.

The fireworks went straight into the sky, like a phoenix of fire flying in the sky, reflecting the crescent moon, the lights were brilliant, and the garden was filled with music and singing.

The maidservants in cloud-topped robes poured out fine wine one after another, and the crowd laughed and congratulated them continuously.

After watching the fireworks for a while, Emperor Zhaolie left with his concubines, and everyone became more unrestrained for a while.

People gathered in groups of three or four, watching the fireworks, discussing where to go for the New Year holidays, and laughing all the time.

Chu Ze's gaze sometimes fell on Cheng Jiuyuan, Cheng Jiuyuan paid attention to Cheng Yunge, and Cheng Yunge observed Chu Ze from time to time.

The prince dragged Chu Heng to drink like crazy and told him about the difficulties he had experienced over the years.

Chu Heng was just giving him a perfunctory response, but he was actually observing the overall situation.

The senior palace maid beside Concubine Xian walked up to Chu Ze and persuaded him with a few words. Chu Ze nodded slightly, then slowly stood up and left.

Cheng Yunge moved instantly.

"Mom, I want to change my clothes."

Lin was already annoyed with her and just hummed coldly.

"Come back soon. If you go back later, you won't find anyone there, and someone will say that I, your vicious stepmother, don't care about you."

"……Yes."

Seeing Cheng Yunge leave, Cheng Jiuyuan also moved.

He greeted his master and talked to Lin, using the same excuse as Cheng Yunge.

"Then be careful and take the girl with you."

Lin had a smile on her face, which was completely different from her attitude when facing Cheng Yunge.

"Don't worry, mother. I'll be back soon."

As soon as Cheng Jiuyuan went out, Chu Heng stripped the prince off his body and threw it to the palace servant, then quickly caught up.

Chu Ze walked slowly towards Jiuhua Palace, but he didn't expect that there was a group of people following him.

"Your Highness, you are injured, why are you drinking?"

"I didn't drink much. It would be boring if I didn't drink during such a festive occasion."

Passing by the Imperial Garden, the fragrance of plum blossoms wafts into my nose.

Chu Ze waved his hand and said, "You can leave. I will walk around by myself."

Seeing that he really didn't drink much, the palace servant left with peace of mind.

After the palace servants left, Chu Ze's expression turned cold: "Who? Get out!"

Cheng Yunge slowly came out from behind the flower tree.

When Chu Ze saw who was coming, his brows furrowed deeply. He instantly lost interest in appreciating the plum blossoms and turned around to leave.

"Your Highness!" Cheng Yunge stepped forward quickly.

"Your Highness, didn't Your Highness send anyone to investigate the two gold mines in Xilin and Zhaoping that this subject mentioned?"

Chu Ze turned around with a cold look in his eyes. She actually dared to mention the gold mine to him!

"Why? The prince was granted a marriage, and you bet on the wrong horse, so you set your sights on me again?"

He has seen many women who want to climb up the social ladder, but it is rare to see one so bold.

How dare she show her good will to him and the prince at the same time!

Cheng Yunge felt a little guilty.

She just adjusted the plan, how did Chu Ze know?

But she could never admit this, so she took a step forward and grabbed Chu Ze's sleeve.

"Your Highness, you are the only one in my heart!"

Cheng Jiuyuan, who was hiding behind the bushes watching the show, shuddered. Was this sad and melodious voice really made by Cheng Yunge?

As soon as Cheng Jiuyuan moved, he touched a warm and thick chest.

Cheng Jiuyuan was shocked and when she turned around, she met Chu Heng's smiling handsome face.

There was a big tree behind them and grass in front of them, which was a perfect place to watch the show.

But the space is limited and it's a bit difficult for two people to squeeze in.

Unexpectedly, Chu Heng also likes to watch the show. Cheng Jiuyuan was about to change places when Chu Heng silently pointed to the front. Cheng Jiuyuan looked over and his mouth was instantly wide open in surprise.

Seeing that Chu Ze was still about to leave, Cheng Yunge grabbed Chu Ze, closed his eyes and kissed him.

A trace of anger flashed across Chu Ze's eyes, and he pushed Cheng Yunge away with one hand.

Cheng Yunge was thrown away with great force and fell to the ground.

Chu Ze's fist clenched and unclenched, loosened and clenched again.

"You should be thankful that you have a father who is the prime minister, and you should be even more thankful that I don't hit women!" Chu Ze said coldly and turned away.

"Third Prince, do you like my sister?" Cheng Yunge shouted unwillingly.

Chu Ze paused.

Cheng Jiuyuan didn't expect that watching a play would involve himself.

Chu Heng looked at the girl in front of him. She had a round and plump back of the head and small, slightly red ears. She looked very cute.

He looked at Chu Ze in front of him, and his eyes suddenly became deep.

"Third Prince, how is this servant inferior to my sister? I can do what she can do, and I can do what she can't do. She is already engaged to the Fifth Prince!"

After a long while, Cheng Yunge thought he would not answer again.

"The engagement can also be cancelled." Chu Ze's voice was very soft.

These words shocked Cheng Yunge and the two people who were eavesdropping behind the bushes.

Chu Heng's expression instantly tensed and his eyes turned cold.

Cheng Yunge didn't expect that he actually thought this way, "You, you..."

"What I mean is that even if the prince has an engagement, he can cancel it. You should focus on the prince and don't provoke me again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Chu Ze said and walked away.

Cheng Yunge got up from the ground and complained crazily to the system.

"Tongtong, is there nothing wrong with Chu Ze? I am such a beautiful woman throwing myself at him, but he is indifferent. Is he gay?"

"It hurts so much, my palms are all broken."

"Host, you are so brave. You actually kissed the original male protagonist."

"Of course, I am a new-age woman. If I like someone, I will pursue him boldly. But isn't it said that if a woman pursues a man, it will take only a thin layer of gauze? The one that is between me and him is a layer of diamond gauze, right?"

Cheng Yunge left cursing, and only then did Cheng Jiuyuan come out from behind the bushes.

She breathed a sigh of relief, as the phrase 'the engagement can also be cancelled' turned out to be referring to the prince.

She turned around and looked at Chu Heng.

"Why is your highness here?"

"I will do whatever you want."

Cheng Jiuyuan ignored him, finished watching the show, and walked back.

"Why don't you just kill your half-sister? If you don't feel comfortable doing it, I can help you."

Chu Heng couldn't understand why Cheng Yunge obviously wanted to kill her the last time he was in Yichuan.

With her ability, why doesn't she just get rid of Cheng Yunge?

Cheng Yunge is not like the prince, who would be easily affected by a single move.

Cheng Jiuyuan was afraid that he would really take action, and she didn't want to live her life again.

She turned around quickly, "Your Highness, please don't."

"Why?"

"I have my plans. When she can die, I will not be soft-hearted."

"Do you want to torture her slowly?"

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded: "You can understand it this way. It's easy to take a person's life, but it's too easy for her. Your Highness knows that someone has squeezed her out of her last bit of value, and then told her the cruel truth, will that make her live a life worse than death?"

Her tone was very solemn, and a hint of shock flashed across Chu Heng's eyes.

He thought of the prophetic dream.

Did she dream about it too?

"I understand."

Cheng Jiuyuan felt relieved, turned around and continued walking forward.

She was really afraid that Cheng Yunge would die like this. She was really upset that she wanted him to disappear but couldn't do it.

"Is your highness familiar with the Imperial Observatory?"

"You want to find the Imperial Observatory?"

"Yes, I want to ask you something."

"I'll ask him in a few days and tell you."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Looking at her back, Chu Heng suddenly said, "Yuan'er, let's spend New Year's Eve together."

Under the eaves of the warehouse shaded by flowers and trees, rows of exquisite lanterns are hung high.

A breeze blows by, the shadows of the trees are hazy, and the fragrance is faint.

Cheng Jiuyuan turned around and looked at him in the light, her eyes moving slightly.

"What did your Highness say?"

"nothing."
