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

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.

Cheng Jiuyuan was preparing to go to Pei Mansion to spend the Lantern Festival with her uncle, but Pei Xiu happened to be away on a long trip with Pei Yan.

Pei Xuan thought that it would be too lonely for him and his cousin to celebrate the festival together, so he simply went to the Yan Mansion. He wanted to pick up the three members of the Yan family to celebrate the festival together, but he didn't expect that there were guests coming to the Yan Mansion as well.

It was impossible for Yan's father and mother to abandon their guests, and they also wanted to create some opportunities for the young man, so they let Yan Yu go to Pei's house to celebrate the festival.

Pei Xuan picked up Yan Yu, and the two returned to Pei Mansion first.

Just as Cheng Jiuyuan was about to go out, she saw Chu Heng coming over on horseback.

"Where are we going during the Lantern Festival?" Chu Heng dismounted from his horse and asked.

"Go to my uncle's house, won't you go to the palace to accompany the emperor?"

"If you don't want to go, I'll go to Pei's house with you. I just happen to have something to do with Brother Pei."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded, and the two of them got on the carriage together.

As she passed by the busy city, she heard someone calling her.

Cheng Jiuyuan opened the curtain and saw Chu Wan and Zhu Jin.

"Why are you here?"

"We have to go back to the academy tomorrow. We can't stay at home on our last day here. We can buy some things and bring them to the academy." Zhu Jin replied.

Chu Wan's eyes were sharp. "Fifth brother is here too. Where are you going?"

"To my uncle's house."

"Lord Pei's house? We went to Sister Yu's house first, and Uncle Yan said that Sister Yu was taken away by Lord Pei." Zhu Jin said.

"You and Sister Yu are both going, so can we go too?" Chu Wan looked at Cheng Jiuyuan with sparkling eyes.

"Naturally."

The two cheered and got on the carriage.

After taking only two steps, I heard someone calling "Your Highness the Prince of Chen" again.

Chu Heng lifted the car curtain and saw Luan An waving at him with a few bottles of wine.

"I saw Shanlan driving, but I didn't expect it was really you in the car."

"It's the Lantern Festival, why are you wandering around the streets?"

"My sister went back to her hometown to be with her parents. I'm the only one at home. It's really lonely. This street is more lively. Where are you going?"

"Pei Mansion."

Luan An came uninvited, jumped on the carriage, and acted as a driver with Shan Lan: "Take me with you, I will also bring my own good wine."

Because of Chu Heng, Luan An is very familiar with Pei Xuan and others.

Chu Heng said nothing and lowered the car curtain.

Cheng Jiuyuan didn't expect that going out alone would end up with a whole car.

But we are all friends, and it is lively when we get together during the holidays.

The carriage stopped outside Pei's house. Everyone got off the carriage and followed Cheng Jiuyuan inside.

Except for Cheng Jiuyuan, everyone else is here for the first time.

The weather is nice today. There is no hustle and bustle of the downtown area in the suburbs of Beijing. There are exquisite gardens all around, with blue bricks and black tiles, winding paths, and sunlight shining through the dense and sparse leaves, spreading dappled on the stone road.

"This place is really nice, with some Jiangnan charm."

"My uncle is from Gusu."

"No wonder."

Everyone followed Cheng Jiuyuan to a yard, and when they saw the beautiful scene in the yard, they all fell silent.

Under the crabapple tree in the yard, Yan Yu held a pen with a focused expression, while Pei Xuan beside her had his eyes on her.

One of them was standing and the other was sitting, the sun shone on them, and it seemed that everything around them became gentle.

It was Pei Xuan who heard the sound and suddenly looked up, only to find a group of people standing at the gate of the courtyard.

Cheng Jiuyuan and others walked in, "Sorry to bother you."

Yan Yu raised his head, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Luan An bowed to Pei Xuan and said, "Brother Pei, I met Prince Chen and his men at the market. I heard that they were coming to your house, so I couldn't help but follow them. Sorry to bother you."

Chu Wan also hurriedly said: "Sister Yu and Sister Cheng are here, so we came here uninvited."

Pei Xuan said very gently: "It is my honor that you are all here."

Cheng Jiuyuan walked to Yan Yu and looked at the paintings on the table.

Yan Yu explained, "This is a painting made by your cousin, and he insisted that I write a poem for it. Take a look and see if I am ruining your cousin's painting."

"That's wrong, Sister Yu. Your poem and cousin's painting are a perfect match!"

Zhu Jin and Chu Wan also came over and praised, "You two are just like the talented scholar and beautiful lady in the storybook. Why are you being so modest?"

Pei Xuan asked the servants to clear the paper and pens on the table and put tea on the table.

Several people sat together talking and laughing.

"Today is the Lantern Festival, why are there no Lantern Festival dumplings?"

Pei Xuan said: "Yes, I have asked the kitchen to prepare it."

"How about we make Yuanxiao ourselves? That would be fun," Zhu Jin suggested.

Everyone at home has never done housework, so when they heard that they could do it themselves, they all thought it was interesting.

Pei Xuan immediately asked his servants to put out the necessary ingredients, and everyone washed their hands and started making Yuanxiao.

Among the few people, only Cheng Jiuyuan knows how to do it.

"Sister Cheng, do you know how to cook?" Chu Wan asked curiously.

"I used to go everywhere with my master, and he was picky about food, so as an apprentice, my cooking skills were just okay."

Chu Heng followed Cheng Jiuyuan to learn. After all, making Yuanxiao was very simple. Soon, round Yuanxiao appeared in everyone's hands. They were of different sizes, but no one cared.

Chu Heng and Cheng Jiuyuan stood together, Pei Xuan and Yan Yu stood together. Looking at these two perfect couples, it was like seeing the characters in a storybook come to life. Zhu Jin felt sweet in his heart and his mouth was grinning from ear to ear.

The sleeves slipped down before he finished making the Yuanxiao in his hand.

She stretched out her hand to Chu Wan: "Help me hold it."

Luan An, who had just washed his hands, was stunned for a moment, then slowly stretched out his hand and gently helped her roll up her sleeves.

The girl's slender forearm shone as white as jade in the sunlight, and Luan An's ears blushed.

Zhu Jin thanked him and lowered his eyes to continue.

Chu Wan suddenly said excitedly: "Look, my Yuanxiao has a mouth and eyes, how cute!"

Zhu Jin was stunned. Chu Wan was on his left, and on the other side...

She slowly turned her head and met Luan An's gaze.

The familiar embarrassment struck again.

When they met for the first time, she thought Luan An was a gangster sent by Chu Qing and beat him up.

The second time at the academy, she jumped into this man's arms in panic to avoid the snakes.

This time...

Why is it so embarrassing every time.

Zhu Jin retracted his gaze and continued with the work in his hands. His face looked calm, but the movements of his hands revealed his inner panic.

Seeing that it was almost ready, he put the pot on the stove and cooked a big pot full of Yuanxiao of different sizes.

Holding the Yuanxiao they made themselves, everyone had smiles on their faces.

"The Lantern Festival is sticky and brings continuous blessings."

“Lantern Festival, Yuanxiao, may all diseases be cured in the new year!”

After eating Yuanxiao, I have no appetite for lunch.

Young people don’t have so many rules, and after discussing it, they all decided to wait until later to finish their meal.

Several girls gathered together to chat, laugh, play the piano and play chess.

The atmosphere on the men's side was completely different, and it was inseparable from the situation in the court.

Unconsciously, the sky darkened.

Cheng Jiuyuan suggested: "Shall we have barbecue?"

"Barbecue?"

"That is roasted meat. In fact, not only meat can be roasted, but vegetables can also be roasted."

In Jiang Shiyuan's era, she saw many young people having gatherings where they would have either soup or barbecue, and drink a little wine to create a party atmosphere.

Cheng Jiuyuan made the arrangements, Pei Xuan cooperated, and the servants carried out the work, and soon the barbecue was served on the table.

The yard was brightly lit, and we didn't feel cold sitting around the stove.

The food you grill yourself may not be as delicious as the food cooked by a chef, but it is fresher.

The full moon on the 15th is as round as a jade plate, accompanied by numerous stars. The romantic picture of the night sky is intoxicating.

A group of people sat together, talking and laughing, and occasionally raising their glasses to drink.

"May the moon be full, people be together, and everything be perfect. May the flowers be beautiful, the lights be beautiful, and the years be beautiful. Cheers!"

The crabapple blossoms quietly, accompanied by laughter filled with the aroma of wine, spreading into the mountains, rivers and stars.
