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

The three-day and two-night examination was over quickly, and outside the Imperial Examination Hall, horse-drawn carriages gathered one after another.

Cheng Jiuyuan, Yan Yu and others were standing in front of the carriage, staring at the tightly closed gate of the Imperial Examination Hall.

Not long after, the gate slowly opened, and then the tribute students walked out one after another.

Some people are dejected, while others are in high spirits.

Pei Xuan appeared slowly, his steps were still gentle and graceful, his moon-white brocade robe was not messy at all, and his clean and elegant face always had a faint smile. He stood out among the tribute students, and his demeanor was truly unique.

Cheng Jiuyuan waved: "Cousin!"

Pei Xuan looked up, and suddenly the smile on his lips widened a little, and his steps became quicker.

In the past three days, besides the sound of writing, there were more coughing sounds in the Imperial Examination Hall. The students who had been tortured for three days heard such a clear and charming voice and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw two beautiful ladies standing in front of a gorgeous carriage, smiling as beautifully as flowers.

Seeing Pei Xuan chatting and laughing with the two men, the tribute students were all envious.

Zhou Xiaoyun is one of them.

Of course he knew Cheng Jiuyuan, but he had seen her rarely.

Cheng Jiuyuan didn’t notice it before because she was too young, but now when she sees it again, that face is already breathtaking.

He compared Cheng Jiuyuan and Cheng Yunge in his mind and found that Cheng Yunge was inferior to Cheng Jiuyuan in terms of both status and appearance.

Moreover, they are cousins. Today, Cheng Jiuyuan knew to pick up Pei Xuan, but Cheng Yunge did not come to pick him up.

If I could marry Cheng Jiuyuan...

Before he could daydream, he was pushed away.

"Get out of the way!"

Pei Xuan handed the things to the servant and looked at Cheng Yunge and Yan Yu.

"How long have you been waiting? Why don't you wait in the carriage?"

"Sister Yu is anxious, cousin, how do you feel?"

Pei Xuan curled his lips: "We will know in half a month."

Students from Lu Lin Academy also came out one after another. None of them looked very well, but they were in good spirits. Several of them gathered together and chatted and laughed.

"Hurry up and get on the carriage. The headmaster and the two masters are waiting at Ruyi Tower."

"It's finally out. I feel like I'm in another world."

"Finally seen the light of day again."

"Yes, do your best and leave the rest to fate."

"I heard that the Huguo Temple is very effective. Let's go and worship some other day..."

The group chatted and laughed as they got on the carriage and headed towards Ruyi Tower.

After three days of hardship, the students ate and drank to their heart's content. In the end, everyone was drunk and it was the waiters from Ruyi Tower who helped to send everyone to the carriage.

Even Pei Xuan, who was usually restrained, was forced to drink a lot of wine by his classmates.

Although he was not staggering like the others, his face was covered with a thin layer of red.

His eyes, which were usually gentle, now looked a little blurry, as if covered with a layer of mist.

Fortunately, he was still clear-headed. After saying goodbye to Cheng Jiuyuan, he got on the carriage without anyone's help.

After Yan Yu said goodbye to Cheng Jiuyuan, he glanced at Pei Xuan's carriage, hesitated for a moment, and then followed him in.

However, as soon as she opened the curtain, she was stunned.

Pei Xuan got on the carriage. Perhaps it was a bit stuffy inside, so he loosened his clothes.

At this moment, a small area of ​​his white chest was exposed. Although it was not impolite, it looked more unruly compared to his usual neat and tidy appearance.

Yan Yu nearly fell off the carriage, but when he came to his senses, he immediately lowered his eyes and turned to get off.

At this moment, a big hand grabbed her wrist, and with a force, she fell into his arms.

The scent of ink and wine mixed together, making Yan Yu feel dizzy.

"Why are you running?" Pei Xuan half raised his eyes with a smile on his lips.

Yan Yu immediately sat up straight: "You are drunk, I will pour you a glass of water."

"Not drunk."

"Every drunkard would say that." Yan Yu struggled to pour him some water.

"Don't move, let me hold you for a while."

Pei Xuan at this moment was very different from his usual self. Usually he was self-disciplined, polite and gentle, but after drinking some wine, he became more stubborn and domineering.

He stopped moving, his head resting on her shoulder, as if he was asleep.

Seeing that he didn't make any unnecessary movements, Yan Yu stopped struggling and let him hold her.

The half month after the Spring Examination is the most relaxing time for all students.

When Lu Lin returned to Pei's house, he naturally slept till he was completely exhausted. The servants of Pei's house did not bother him, and only sent him three meals a day as usual.

Three days later, everyone had rested enough.

Before the Spring Examination, everyone was busy studying and had no time or energy to enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious food in the capital.

Now that the Spring Examination is over, Pei Xuan, as half the host, naturally wants to take his classmates out for some fun.

……

Cheng Jiuyuan was reading a book, and Mu Jin led Chu Heng into Feiyuan Pavilion.

Cheng Jiuyuan put down the book, poured him a cup of tea, and asked, "Your Highness, how come you have time to come here today?"

"No bathing today."

Chu Heng took a sip of tea and then asked, "Did your eldest cousin participate in the Spring Examination?"

"Well, why does Your Highness ask this?"

"Nothing, it's just that there might be some disturbances in this year's Spring Examination. However, if your eldest cousin has real talent and knowledge, nothing will happen to him."

"My eldest cousin is as clever as a god. As the saying goes, a gentleman is as sharp as a knife and as polished as a stone. This is exactly what my eldest cousin is like."

The smile in Chu Heng's eyes faded a little: "That's good."

Cheng Jiuyuan asked curiously, "What happened? Why did this spring exam cause a commotion?"

Chu Heng rubbed the delicate plum blossom on the porcelain cup with his fingers and looked up at Cheng Jiuyuan.

"You should know about Duke Mu's matter."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded: "I know. Why? King Rui can't swallow this breath and is ready to fight back? Who is he going to attack?"

Chu Heng didn't expect that she understood it so quickly, so he smiled and asked her to continue.

"Duke Mu is not one of those small fish and shrimps in the past. This has touched the sore spot of King Rui. If King Rui wants to fight back, the person he chooses will not be someone of low status."

"Your Highness just said that there might be some disturbances in the Spring Examination... Minister of Rites?" Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Chu Heng.

Chu Heng's eyes showed a hint of appreciation: "Not bad."

Cheng Jiuyuan pondered and said, "But the Minister of Rites is not so active. His relatives are all over the government."

The Minister of Rites Wei Yuanshan followed the same path as Gusu Weng Youcai.

It's just that Weng Youcai has been strengthening himself by relying on his in-laws, while Wei Yuanshan is mutually beneficial. His in-laws are more reliable than Weng Youcai's, and they are all from noble families. It's not easy to move him.

"It's man-made."

As they were talking, Shanlan came in hurriedly.

"Your Highness, Liang Bo is dead."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Chu Heng in confusion.

Chu Heng explained: "Liang Bo is Wei Yuanshan's third son-in-law."

"Prince Rui is investigating Wei Yuanshan's sons-in-law?"

"Wei Yuanshan is an old fox. His hands are very clean, but his sons-in-law are not necessarily so. Look, just when there was a little clue, the man died."

"This shows that his sons-in-law do have big problems."

Chu Heng stood up and looked at Cheng Jiuyuan: "Do you want to go to the theater?"

Shan Lan looked at Chu Heng: "Your Highness, although Miss Cheng is not an ordinary woman, the murder scene..."

Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes sparkled with excitement: "Go!"

If Wei Yuanshan falls, won’t the prince be furious?

The harder the prince fights with Chu Ze, the better it is for them.
