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

When Cheng Jiuyuan returned to the banquet, she saw Cheng Yunge and Chu Qing squeezed together.

Cheng Jiuyuan raised an eyebrow. Was Cheng Yunge trying to hook up with the prince? Or Chu Ze? Or was he just casting a wide net and catching whatever fish he could find?

Chu Qing looked around but didn't see any trace of Zhu Jin.

"Princess, who are you looking for?" Cheng Yunge asked.

"That bitch Zhu Jin caused me to lose my title and was also confined to my house for such a long time. This princess cannot swallow this humiliation! This bitch has learned her lesson and did not even come to the palace banquet this time. Did she think she would be fine if she just stayed in her shell?" Chu Qing's face was full of anger.

Cheng Yunge said a few words to comfort her, and then said, "According to what I have heard, Zhu Jin is not the type to stay idle at home. She often walks around the streets dressed as a man."

Chu Qing showed a hint of sneer on her lips, and then looked at Cheng Yunge: "I have never found a chance to ask you, didn't my secret guard kidnap Cheng Jiuyuan and hand her over to your elder brother in Yichuan? How come nothing happened to her? Instead, your elder brother died in the mansion?"

Chu Qing and Cheng Jiuyuan had no connection at all. Cheng Jiuyuan was Chu Heng's fiancée, and Chu Heng was from her royal brother's faction. Her royal brother had also warned her many times not to provoke Cheng Jiuyuan.

Ever since she helped Cheng Yunge to embarrass Cheng Jiuyuan once at the poetry gathering, she had no intention of doing so again.

But Cheng Jiuyuan insisted on getting so close to Zhu Jin and Chu Wan. She hated both of them, and now she hated Cheng Jiuyuan too.

"This matter is also puzzling to me. I wonder what magic Cheng Jiuyuan used to escape this disaster."

Chu Qing waved his hands: "Forget it, they are all trash."

After a while, Cheng Yunge asked cautiously, "Princess, doesn't the Crown Prince like Zhu Jin? Why was he suddenly granted marriage?"

"That little bitch Zhu Jin doesn't even want to be the Crown Princess. I told her to run away twice. But she is the daughter of Master Zhu. We can't just grant her a marriage. What else can we do?"

Chu Qing looked at Cheng Yunge: "Why are you asking this?"

"I am just curious."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Jiang Shiyuan was personally selected by my mother. She is the rightful heir to the position of Crown Princess. Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have."

"Princess, you misunderstood me."

Chu Qing obviously didn't believe it. How many noble ladies tried to curry favor with her? Didn't they just want to get close to her brother, the Crown Prince, through her?

"However, considering our friendship over the years, I can tell my mother and my brother to let you enter the East Palace as a concubine."

Cheng Yunge's face froze. The Crown Prince's Concubine is also a concubine!

Chu Qing understood the meaning on her face and said in disbelief: "You are a concubine's daughter, do you really want to be my brother's wife?"

Cheng Yunge felt a little embarrassed.

She thinks she is no worse than anyone else. The concept of legitimate and illegitimate children in this era is really harmful!

"You should give up this outrageous idea as soon as possible. My mother hates people who lack self-awareness the most."

Her mother said that anyone who dares to covet something that does not belong to him will pay a heavy price.

For example, the former queen was just the daughter of a commoner. She occupied a position that did not belong to her, and ultimately she did not have a good ending.

Cheng Yunge felt as if Chu Qing was stabbing her heart with a knife, so she quickly found an excuse to leave.

Cheng Jiuyuan was looking up at the fireworks in the sky when suddenly someone grabbed her arm.

When she turned her head, she saw Chu Wan smiling sweetly at her.

"Sister Cheng, do you want to come to my palace and sit for a while?"

Cheng Jiuyuan shook his head: "The palace banquet will be over soon..."

"What are you afraid of? There's no curfew. I'll send someone to take you back home later."

Then he leaned close to Cheng Jiuyuan's ear and whispered, "I have something to tell you."

Lin tilted her head and smiled, "Go ahead."

"Look, Mrs. Lin has agreed."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Jiang Miaoduan and said, "Master, I will come to see you tomorrow."

"Go ahead, I should go back too." Jiang Miaoduan didn't like crowds, so it was a rare opportunity for her to stay until this moment.

Chu Wan pulled Cheng Jiuyuan and said, "Sister Cheng, let's go."

Cheng Jiuyuan followed Chu Wan to her palace. The maid served tea and snacks and then left.

"Sister Cheng, I heard that you can draw a person's appearance just by describing it?"

"The rumor is just an exaggeration. Why do you ask this, Princess?"

Chu Wan lowered her voice and said, "I want to find my benefactor."

"The princess's benefactor?"

"Sister Cheng, you are not an outsider, so I won't hide it from you. That time in Yichuan, Chu Qing wanted to frame me and stabbed himself. I had no way to defend myself, and Chu Qing almost succeeded."

"Fortunately, my grandfather arrived in time and helped us restore the scene at that time. He used Chu Qing's wounds to repay my dear Bai and made Chu Qing fall flat on his face."

"Afterwards, my grandfather said that these methods of exposing Chu Qing were taught to him by a masked woman. He didn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but he remembered her eyes and her temperament very clearly."

"I heard that you could draw the murderer of your mother based on the description of the person when you were seven years old. I would like to ask my sister to help me draw a portrait of my benefactor."

"How can I repay such a great favor when I don't even know who she is?"

Cheng Jiuyuan coughed lightly and said, "Princess, if you want to find this person with just your eyes, I'm afraid..."

"I won't give up even if there is a chance!"

Seeing her persistence, Cheng Jiuyuan said, "She is wearing a mask, which means she doesn't want to reveal her identity. After all, if she saves the princess, she will stand against Princess Yongfu and offend the Queen and the Crown Prince. She doesn't want to get into trouble, so why does the princess have to find her?"

"Of course I know she doesn't want to cause trouble. I just want to know who her benefactor is and won't expose her to the public. Sister Cheng, please help me."

After saying this, without waiting for Cheng Jiuyuan to speak, he immediately pulled her to the desk, stuffed a pen into her hand, and earnestly helped her grind ink.

Cheng Jiuyuan was helpless: "Let me make it clear first, my drawing may not look like it."

“Do the best you can and do the best you can.”

"My grandfather said that the woman was dressed in black, even her hair was covered, leaving only a pair of exceptionally bright eyes."

"The almond eyes are bright, round in shape, with a moderately wide palpebral fissure and blunt outer corners. The pupils are very black, bright and large, very pretty..."

Cheng Jiuyuan painted the woman's eyes according to her description.

"The painting is done, take a look."

Chu Wan came over to take a look, frowned and said, "It doesn't have the coolness and chivalry that grandpa talked about."

The corner of Cheng Jiuyuan's eye twitched. How could she not know that her eyes were so special, pretty, cold, and chivalrous.

"Perhaps you have automatically glorified the 'benefactor' in your mind?"

"You don't understand. Grandfather said that my benefactor must be a very beautiful and powerful chivalrous woman."

“…I really don’t understand.”

Chu Wan raised her eyes and suddenly looked at Cheng Jiuyuan: "Sister Cheng, why do I feel that the eyes of the benefactor described by my grandfather match your eyes?"

Cheng Jiuyuan: !!

Can this really be found with just a pair of eyes?

"Haha, Princess, you are joking. I am not a powerful female knight in the martial arts world."

At this moment, Chu Heng entered the hall.

"What are you doing?"

"Royal brother, I am looking for the benefactor who saved me in Yichuan. Royal brother, you are knowledgeable and experienced, do you know the owner of these eyes?" Chu Wan handed the eyes of the 'benefactor' to Chu Heng.

Chu Heng took a look, then raised his head to look at Cheng Jiuyuan with a hint of a smile on his face.

"Princess, trying to find someone with just a pair of eyes is like looking for a needle in a haystack." Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Chu Wan and advised.

Chu Heng put down the portrait and said, "It's getting late. I'll take Miss Cheng back home."

Chu Wan said "Oh" in disappointment, lowered her head and continued to study the portrait of "the benefactor's eyes".
