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

"I won't marry! I'd rather die than marry! How can you treat me like this! Wuuuuu..." Chu Qing lay on the chaise longue and cried heartbrokenly.

The two palace maids beside her couldn't comfort her no matter how hard they tried.

"Princess, don't cry. The Queen is doing this for your own good."

"What do you mean it's for my own good? It's all for her son! She doesn't even have a daughter like me in her heart!"

"Princess, the Queen is in a difficult situation too. It's because the Concubine Xian has been pressuring her recently. Otherwise, how could the Queen bear to be separated from you?"

"Yes, Princess. How are you going to the banquet if your eyes are swollen from crying?"

Hearing this, Chu Qing stopped crying and raised her head.

"Yes, I can't cry. I have to go see Pei Xuan later."

She wiped her tears and sat in front of the dressing mirror: "Put on my makeup again."

"Yes."

Chu Qing looked at himself in the mirror with lifeless eyes, feeling depressed.

"Princess, since ancient times, men should marry when they are old enough, and women should marry when they are old enough. The Northern Qi prince is handsome and powerful. If you marry him, you will become the Queen of Northern Qi in the future."

"Yes, Princess, you see, the Sixth Princess will definitely not marry as well as you in the future. The prince consorts of princesses in our dynasty have no real power, and her future prince consort will at most be a wealthy idler. But you are different, you are the future Queen of Northern Qi..."

Chu Qing, who was originally depressed, suddenly had bright eyes.

Right!

Northern Qi proposed a marriage, but had not yet decided on the candidate.

There is more than one princess in this palace!

She has already decided on Pei Xuan, so if she wants a marriage, let Chu Wan go!

But her mother would definitely stop this.

But if Chu Wan and the Northern Qi prince had an affair and everyone knew about it, Father would not be able to hide it even if he wanted to...

The more Chu Qing thought about it, the more excited he became.

Seeing her so happy, the maid thought her persuasion had worked.

"Come here."

The maid bent down.

After hearing Chu Qing's instructions, his face turned as pale as a piece of paper.

"Princess..."

"What? Are you trying to disobey orders?"

"The slaves dare not."

"If you don't dare, just follow my orders!"

……

The lights came on and the palace was brightly lit.

The Jinyiwei were all on high alert, with palace maids moving around among them.

In the hall, Cheng Jiuyuan sat beside Lin, secretly observing everyone in the hall.

The prince was the protagonist today. He sat there with a beaming smile on his face, chatting and laughing with envoys from various countries.

Chu Ze and Chu Heng haven't come in yet, so I guess they are setting up defenses in the palace.

Qi Zhen was dressed in Northern Qi clothing, looking extremely noble.

The corner of his mouth curled up wickedly, and his pair of peach blossom eyes swept across everyone. The rich girls who were swept by him all blushed and lowered their heads, but could not help but look up and peek.

His eyes fell on Cheng Yunge, and he raised his glass to Cheng Yunge with a smile.

Cheng Yunge smiled calmly in response.

When Lin saw this scene, his brows furrowed.

She leaned close to Cheng Jiuyuan and asked in a low voice: "When did she hook up with the Crown Prince of Northern Qi?"

Cheng Jiuyuan shook his head, indicating that he was not sure.

"You are really restless." Lin scolded lightly.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "The Emperor has arrived!"

Everyone quickly stood up and saluted.

"See you, Your Majesty, long live my Emperor!"

After Emperor Zhaolie and his concubines sat down at the head of the table, he raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite, everyone, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Three days later, the Crown Prince will get married. Envoys from various countries will come from afar..."

Emperor Zhaolie said a lot of polite words, and then the welcoming banquet began.

For a moment, the hall was filled with singing and dancing, sleeves fluttering, and it was extremely lively and peaceful.

But that was only peaceful on the surface. Every word uttered by the envoys of various countries was carefully considered. They could not be too ostentatious, nor could they show weakness. There were traps at every step.

All countries were compared in terms of military strength, combat power, weapons, as well as their thoughts, culture, and institutional influence.

On the surface, it was a welcoming banquet, but in reality it was a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder.

Chu Wan was afraid of being noticed, so she showed her face in front of Emperor Zhaolie and then found an excuse to slip out of the hall.

Qi Zhen was drinking wine and enjoying the singing and dancing, his fingers moving on the table in time with the music, looking like he was enjoying himself very much.

The wine glass was empty and the maid came forward to refill his glass.

The well-trained palace maid failed this time and Qi Zhen's clothes were wet.

The maid immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

Qi Zhen glanced at the wine stains and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Qi Zhen raised his hand to interrupt the steward who was scolding the maid: "It's okay, I'll just go change into another one, don't blame her."

These words sounded very graceful, and the palace maid who was kowtowing and admitting her mistake blushed: "I will take you to change your clothes."

Qi Zhen was about to stand up when the envoy beside him grabbed his wrist with a vigilant look.

A hint of amusement flashed across Qi Zhen's eyes, and he shook his head at the envoy, signaling him not to worry.

Qi Zhen left the hall under the guidance of the palace maids.

Cheng Yunge, who had been keeping an eye on him, immediately found an excuse to follow him out when he saw him go out.

How could Cheng Jiuyuan miss such a good show? As soon as Cheng Yunge left, she followed.

Qi Zhen followed the palace maid into an empty room.

"Your Highness, clean clothes are ready. I will change your clothes for you."

As the palace maid was about to go forward to untie his belt, Qi Zhen glanced at the burning incense burner beside him and smiled.

Looking at the hand extended by the palace maid, a trace of viciousness and disgust flashed across his eyes.

"No need, just wait outside the door, I will come myself."

"Yes."

After the palace maids left, Qi Zhen approached the incense burner with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

With just this little trick, the person behind it is really too frivolous.

Qi Zhen walked towards the bed covered by gauze, drew aside the curtain, and saw a beautiful woman lying unconscious on the bed.

At this moment, there was an unusual movement outside the door.

Qi Zhen instantly moved over and opened the door, and Cheng Yunge fell in.

"Did you do all this?"

Cheng Yunge looked at the person on the bed and immediately realized that he had inadvertently walked into a trap set for Qi Zhen.

"It's not me. I just want to ask you why you hide your identity from me. Aren't you just a wealthy businessman? How did you become the crown prince of Northern Qi?" Cheng Yunge paused and looked at Chu Wan on the bed. "Also, what is going on?"

Qi Zhen looked at the person on the bed, "That's right, you are just the prime minister's concubine's daughter, you don't have the guts to lay a hand on the princess."

Cheng Yunge got up from the ground and wanted to pull Qi Zhen.

"This must be a trap, let's go!"

Qi Zhen walked out before Cheng Yunge touched him.

But before he even reached the door, Qi Zhen felt something was wrong.

It's just too late.

Qi Zhen and Cheng Yunge instantly weakened and fell unconscious to the ground.

At this time, two people slowly walked into the room from outside.
