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

There was not a cloud in the blue sky. A gust of wind blew up a heat wave from the ground, making people feel suffocated.

A few people who had just finished school hurried to the public kitchen to have lunch.

"What horrible weather! It's almost autumn and it's still so hot." Zhu Jin kept fanning the air with his little hands and complained, but he didn't dare to stop.

"The public kitchen still has ice bowls today. If you go too late, they will be gone. I didn't get one yesterday."

As they were walking, they heard someone calling from behind.

"Second Miss Cheng."

Cheng Jiuyuan and the others turned around and saw Shan Lan rushing over.

"Fifth brother is here?" Chu Wan asked Shan Lan.

"Yes, His Highness is in the guest room of the academy. Please invite Miss Cheng Er to come over."

"Just let Sister Cheng go?"

Shanlan nodded.

"I am his biological sister, so he only wants to see his sweetheart when he comes to the academy?" Chu Wan joked.

Cheng Jiuyuan blushed slightly, "Your Highness may have something important to discuss with me, you should go have lunch first."

"Okay, I'll bring the ice bowl back to the dormitory and wait for you to come back to eat it." Yan Yu said gently.

Chu Wan shook her head and said sarcastically: "Hey, now that you have a lover, you have forgotten your sister..."

Zhu Jin pulled her over and said, "Let's go quickly. You'll melt if you stand in the sun. If you go too late, the ice bowl will be gone."

Cheng Jiuyuan followed Shan Lan to the guest room of the academy and saw Chu Heng sitting at the table.

"You haven't had lunch yet? Come and sit down."

Cheng Jiuyuan walked forward and sat down, then asked, "Did you get the things?"

Chu Heng picked up the chopsticks and added more dishes for her: "I got it, and the person is cleaned up."

Cheng Jiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief and extended his hand to him.

Chu Heng lowered his eyes.

It was a fair and slender hand, with long and beautiful fingers and skin as white as porcelain, and it was obvious that the person had lived a life of luxury.

She wore a jasper bracelet on her wrist and there was a small mole on her wrist bone, which made her hand look more delicate and pretty.

He reached out and covered her hand, which felt warm and smooth, like he was touching the finest jade.

Cheng Jiuyuan pulled out her hand, patted the back of his hand, glared at him, and opened her palm again.

"show me."

Chu Heng curled his lips: "Let's eat first."

Cheng Jiuyuan had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks on the table and start eating.

After the meal, Shanlan brought up the lunch box.

Chu Heng opened the lunch box: "I bought this in the town at the foot of the mountain. It helps to cool down from the summer heat."

The food box has three layers, and each layer contains different cold foods, including crispy mountain food, perilla drink, and ice crispy yogurt.

Even before I put it in my mouth, I felt chilled at the sight of it.

Cheng Jiuyuan brought out a bowl of icy yogurt.

"Your Highness, don't you need some?"

"No need. There is ice here. You can take it back to the dormitory and share it with Yongle and the others. Otherwise, people will say that I, the emperor, don't have her in my heart."

Cheng Jiuyuan curled his lips and smiled. He knew his imperial sister quite well.

Cheng Jiuyuan ate ice yogurt, and the heat was mostly gone, and he was no longer so impatient.

Chu Heng took out the private seal from his sleeve and said, "Take a look."

Cheng Jiuyuan took it and looked at it carefully.

"Zhang Jiucheng is indeed a talent."

Cheng Jiuyuan returned the private seal to Chu Heng: "Leave this thing with you first. I will give you the letter when Wei Tiankuang returns to Beijing to report on his work."

The letter could be written at any time, but it was still several months before the end of the year and it would be very dangerous if the news leaked out.

"In that case, let's wait until the end of the year."

Chu Heng nodded, and suddenly looked up at her: "The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has selected two auspicious times."

Cheng Jiuyuan didn't react for a moment and just stared at him blankly.

Seeing his gentle gaze, she finally reacted.

How come we suddenly jumped to choosing the wedding date?

Cheng Jiuyuan lowered her head and said "hmm".

Chu Heng curled his lips, and there seemed to be stars flowing in his eyes, "Are you shy?"

Cheng Jiuyuan paused for a moment, then took a bite of ice cream and whispered, "No."

"The two dates are not too far apart. One is after the New Year, and the other is next June."

"Ahem." Cheng Jiuyuan coughed softly, "It's too late after the New Year."

"How can I hurry? I think it's too slow."

Ever since he changed his mind, he felt that he had been stuck in a rut and wasted a lot of time.

"However, I also think that it is not appropriate after the New Year. It's not because the time is too short. Even if it is only half a month, I will not let you down. It's just that before the New Year, no matter whether what we do succeeds or fails, there will be some turmoil inside and outside the court. Half a year should be more suitable for everything to be settled."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded: "You have thought it through, and I will pass the academy assessment before the end of the year."

After that, he asked again: "Don't you think I'm too conceited?"

"No, I believe you can do it. Then I will let the Imperial Observatory report to my father, and you can't regret it."

Cheng Jiuyuan raised her eyes, with a hint of tenderness that was barely noticeable: "I never regret the decisions I made."

Hearing this, endless smile spread in his eyes, like shining pearls and brilliant glass.

Cheng Jiuyuan lowered her head and stirred the Bingluo in the bowl. "Everything will be ready by the end of the year."

"Don't worry, I will arrange everything. Even if we lose this time, the Wei family and Chu Ze will fight to the death."

In the room, two people, one was eating ice cheese, the other was drinking tea, and they were talking intermittently.

"My father is getting better now, thanks to you."

"It's just a piece of cake. Even if the poison is cured, Your Majesty..."

The room fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Chu Heng said, "It is fate."

Then he changed the subject: "By the way, I heard that during the academy drill, you injured Wei Xiangming's daughter?"

"What? Are you feeling distressed?"

Chu Heng shook his head helplessly: "I'm just worried about you."

"It's okay, the Wei family won't attack me at this time. As for Wei Pianpian, she is no match for me."

Cheng Jiuyuan finished a bowl of iced cheese and elegantly wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief.

"Your Highness, I have to attend classes this afternoon, so I'll excuse myself."

"Go."

Cheng Jiuyuan returned to the dormitory carrying the lunch box, just as Zhu Jin and others came back from the public kitchen.

"Sister Cheng, I'm sorry. Those people were too crazy, and I didn't get the ice bowl." Zhu Jin said dejectedly.

Cheng Jiuyuan pointed to the food box on the table: "It's okay, His Highness brought it to us."

Zhu Jin and others cheered, stepped forward to open the food box, and exclaimed again.

"Wow, my favorite Sushan!"

"Yes, your royal brother brought it to you specially."

"He still has some conscience..."

Such carefree days passed day by day, and another month passed in the blink of an eye.

The weather gradually turned cooler, and Cheng Jiuyuan was waiting for Wei Tiankuang to return to Beijing.

Before the end of the year, something happened.

The Emperor of Northern Qi died, and the Crown Prince Qi Zhen succeeded to the throne.

When the new emperor of Northern Qi ascended the throne, Dongling had to send people to Northern Qi.

Neither the prince nor Chu Ze dared to leave the capital easily, fearing that they would never be able to return.

So this task fell on Chu Heng again.
