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

With the Crown Prince's wedding, envoys from various countries arrived in the capital one after another, and the streets became even more lively.

The number of patrolling soldiers increased significantly, and Chu Heng was so busy that he was rarely seen.

As the sun sets, the glow dyes half the sky red, and the afterglow casts a shadow over the courtyard, making it very peaceful.

Inside the house, Mu Jin was dressing Cheng Jiuyuan, and Song Lan was choosing clothes for her.

"Girl, how about this butterfly and flower mist phoenix tail skirt? Look at the skirt, it sways like a phoenix tail when you walk."

"And this Bixia Cloud Brocade Skirt is dreamy and just like the sunset in the sky. It will look great on you, girl."

"It's just a welcoming party, don't be too ostentatious." Cheng Jiuyuan said.

Although she is now engaged to Chu Heng and does not need to be afraid of Qi Zhen, it is better not to mess with that madman now.

Qi Zhen likes to collect beautiful things and then destroy them.

He just enjoys the pleasure of destruction, which is completely morbid.

"Girl, take a look." Mu Jin lowered her hands, looked at Cheng Jiuyuan in the mirror and asked.

Although it is not appropriate to be too ostentatious, she is after all the daughter of the prime minister and the future prince's consort, so she cannot be disrespectful.

Dressing like this is neither rude nor ostentatious.

"that's it."

Cheng Jiuyuan stood up, turned around and looked at the row of clothes.

"Just this one."

"Then I will help you change your clothes."

After Cheng Jiuyuan finished dressing up and stood in front of the bronze mirror, Mu Jin smiled and said, "You are so beautiful, even if you are dressed in ordinary clothes, you can't take your eyes off."

The light blue Cantonese embroidered long skirt makes her slender waist look perfect. When she walks, the hem of her skirt sways like green waves, which is very fresh and refined.

"Let's go."

When I arrived at the front hall, I saw Cheng Zongyang sitting at the top drinking tea, and Lin was also sitting next to him.

Lin has been pregnant for almost five months. After taking off her thick winter clothes, her slightly bulging belly can be seen.

Seeing Cheng Jiuyuan coming over, he waved at her with a smile.

"Yuan'er."

Cheng Jiuyuan stepped forward and bowed to Cheng Zongyang and Lin.

Lin took her hand and looked her up and down for a few times: "It looks good, but is it too plain and elegant?"

"Mother, envoys from various countries are here today, especially Northern Qi, which has always been at odds with Dongling. We don't know what kind of trouble will arise. This is not the occasion to show off."

Cheng Zongyang nodded: "Your concerns are correct."

He looked at the servant beside him and said, "Go and urge Yun Ge."

Whenever envoys arrived, there was always a discussion.

Sometimes it is martial arts, sometimes it is literary.

During this period, Cheng Yunge's reputation as a talented woman was extremely high, so an exception was made to allow her, a concubine's daughter, to enter the palace to attend the welcoming banquet.

As soon as Cheng Zongyang finished speaking, he saw Cheng Yunge coming over with a maid.

"Father, Mother, Yun Ge is late."

This time, Cheng Yunge spent a lot of money and dressed up to be more luxurious and eye-catching than Cheng Jiuyuan, the legitimate daughter.

Lin frowned and glanced at Cheng Jiuyuan subconsciously.

Seeing that Cheng Jiuyuan's expression did not change, she didn't say anything.

Cheng Zongyang stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's go."

The family arrived outside the mansion. Cheng Zongyang and Lin got on the front carriage, and Cheng Yunge and Cheng Jiuyuan got on the other.

The carriage drove leisurely through the alleys and busy streets, and Cheng Jiuyuan and the other person in the carriage did not speak a word.

Cheng Jiuyuan listened quietly to Cheng Yunge arguing with Bai Lu in his heart.

"You need to prepare more poetry. I want to amaze those people tonight."

"You shouldn't be so ostentatious. I always feel that Qi Zhen is not a good person. You know how miserable Cheng Jiuyuan's life was when she married into Northern Qi in her previous life."

"That's Cheng Jiuyuan. In her previous life, Cheng Jiuyuan only had Chu Ze in her heart. She was a fool, not to mention she had no talent, and she didn't know how to please Qi Zhen. Moreover, she was poisoned by the Epiphyllum Beauty Poison and her beauty was gone, so Qi Zhen naturally hated her. But I'm different. You've seen how Qi Zhen treated me these days."

"Qi Zhen is not as simple as he seems." Bai Lu was still trying to persuade him earnestly.

"Of course he is not simple. He is the crown prince of Northern Qi and will be the emperor of Northern Qi in two years. Besides, he is as good-looking as Chu Ze and his status is even higher than Chu Ze. In this life, no one helped Chu Ze steal the defense map of Northern Qi. Dongling can never defeat Northern Qi."

"But……"

"Don't say buts. No matter how you look at it, Qi Zhen is the best candidate. Don't forget that I am the owner of this body. As long as you help me well, I will give you this body for a few days every month. Otherwise, you will never see the light of day again."

After these words were spoken, Bai Lu fell silent.

Cheng Jiuyuan half-lowered her eyes, looked at the book in her hands, and curled her lips silently.

The carriage stopped outside the palace gate. Cheng Zongyang had to go see Emperor Zhaolie first. He gave Lin some instructions and then left.

Lin took Cheng Yunge and Cheng Jiuyuan inside.

"Sister Cheng!"

When they looked over, they saw Chu Wan jogging towards them.

The three Lin family members bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Princess Yongle."

"No need to be polite."

Chu Wan stepped forward and took Cheng Jiuyuan's arm and said, "It's still early for the dinner, Sister Cheng, please come to my palace and sit down first."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked towards Lin.

"Go ahead." Lin said with a smile.

Chu Wan pulled Cheng Jiuyuan towards her palace.

After entering Yong'an Palace, the smile on Chu Wan's face fell.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Jiuyuan asked.

"Sister Cheng, the crown prince of Northern Qi has proposed a marriage to my father. There are only two princesses in the palace, me and Chu Qing. I am worried..."

Cheng Jiuyuan frowned.

In the previous life, the marriage was proposed after Dongling and Beiqi went to war again. In this life, the two countries have not yet gone to war, so how...

"It's okay, it's not settled yet, don't scare yourself.

At this time in Fengyi Palace, Chu Qing was also making a fuss about the same thing.

"I'm not going to Northern Qi!"

"This matter was decided by me and your grandfather. It has no say over it." The queen looked at Chu Qing, without a trace of motherly tenderness for her daughter in her eyes.

"Mother! From childhood to adulthood, you have always used me as a tool to win favor. Over the years, you have only had my brother in your heart and eyes. In order to get a compliment from you, I have held banquets of all sizes to win over talents for my brother. Isn't what I have done enough? Now, for the sake of power, you want me to marry into the Northern Qi!"

"How outrageous!" The queen slapped Chu Qing in the face.

Chu Qing covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face.

She had never disobeyed her mother before, but this time, she couldn't bear it.

She has someone in her heart. Her mother clearly supported her some time ago, so why has she changed now?

"It's settled. Qi Zhen needs your grandfather's troops to ascend the throne. And your brother also needs Qi Zhen's help. This is a win-win choice. You must go to Northern Qi."

"I said I won't go! I won't go even if I die!" After yelling, Chu Qing ran out of Fengyi Palace crying.

The queen was so angry that she slapped the table.

"Don't be angry, madam. The princess will understand your good intentions in the future."

The Queen sighed, "These siblings are both very worrying. I think Qi Zhen is also a talented person. If she goes to Northern Qi, she will be the Queen of Northern Qi, and her brother can ascend to the throne smoothly. From now on, Dongling and Northern Qi will be their world. Why are they so ignorant?"

"My queen, you were also around this age. Didn't the princess mention the number one scholar from the Pei family a few days ago? It's understandable that she couldn't understand why she was asked to go to Northern Qi to marry a foreign prince just a few days ago."

"In the face of power, talent and love are nothing. She is still too young to understand that only by holding power firmly in her hands can she get everything she wants."

"Your Highness is right..."
