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

Everyone quickly stood up and knelt down to salute.

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

Emperor Zhaolie came with a large entourage and walked to the front.

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone stood up and waited for Emperor Zhaolie and others to take their seats. Eunuch Quan waved his whisk and everyone returned to their seats.

"Today's palace banquet is a celebration banquet. I have experienced life and death, and have seen many people clearly. Those present are all upright, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, which comforts me greatly."

Emperor Zhaolie picked up a glass of wine and stood up: "Come, let us drink this cup together."

Everyone stood up and held up their glasses, saying loudly, "Congratulations to your Majesty on your safe return. May your Majesty be blessed with great fortune!"

Then everyone drank the wine in their glasses.

"Everyone, sit down. Don't be shy."

"The biggest contributor to my survival is definitely Cheng girl, no, now it should be Princess Chen."

Everyone's eyes fell on Cheng Jiuyuan.

The emperor has said with all his heart that she is the Princess of Chen, so no one else has hope of getting the position. Maybe Cheng Jiuyuan and the Prince of Chen will get married soon.

However, since there is no hope of becoming the principal wife, being a concubine is not impossible.

Everyone said that Cheng Jiuyuan was lucky, because others who eloped ended up in misery. But she eloped and actually caught the emperor's eye.

Running away with someone is commendable and may even lead to a good future.

Emperor Zhaolie took in everyone's expressions and continued, "I have also heard a lot of rumors, saying that Prince Chen's wife eloped with Prince Chen. It's ridiculous!"

Emperor Zhaolie's voice suddenly rose, and his eyes swept sharply across the crowd below.

Some ladies and nobles hung their heads guiltily.

"I trusted the treacherous man and was nearly poisoned. It was Princess Chen who saved my life with a fake death drug."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a lot of discussion below.

"Fake death medicine? Is there really a fake death medicine in this world?"

"No wonder, your majesty was clearly... but he came back to life again."

"It was actually Princess Chen who saved the Emperor. Prime Minister, congratulations!"

Cheng Zongyang also just learned about this. This is saving the emperor, this is a great achievement...

His face lit up with joy and he suddenly looked at Cheng Jiuyuan.

Cheng Jiuyuan was seen sitting there calmly with his hands folded in front of him, his eyebrows slightly lowered, truly unperturbed by fame or disgrace.

Cheng Zongyang looked at her as if he was looking at a priceless treasure.

After today's palace banquet is over, he must persuade her to return home.

Otherwise, if she had continued to live in the palace, there would surely have been more rumors circulating outside that she was not on good terms with the prime minister's family.

Emperor Zhaolie cleared his throat, and the voice below instantly fell silent.

"Although I was able to save my life, I was poisoned and fell into a coma. Princess Chen was taught by a master and has excellent medical skills. She did not elope with anyone, but went to Liping to save my life!"

"How could such a brave and courageous girl be the shameless person you say she is!" When Emperor Zhaolie was angry, he slapped the table, and some people below even lowered their heads to their chests.

Minister Mu sighed, "Yes, Princess Chen is truly a rare and extraordinary woman in the world. Not only did she save the emperor, she also proposed many good strategies, which led to the earth-shaking changes in Liping in just one year. How can you slander such a genius?"

Master Zhu and others also echoed this.

Cheng Zongyang's eyes lit up.

No wonder Master Zhu and others had such an attitude towards her, and no wonder she could allow the Pei family, a mere merchant, to appear at the palace banquet.

But why should this great honor be given to the Pei family?

As expected, girls are extroverts and their elbows are bent outwards.

"I heard today that someone said that Prince Chen and Princess Chen were having an affair without a matchmaker. Who said this?"

The faces of the noble ladies, led by Zhou Yaoyao, who were outside the Imperial Garden before, were as pale as paper.

The person the emperor was referring to was definitely not them.

Luan Meng looked at Zhou Yaoyao and the others, thought about it, and still did not stand up to identify them.

Maybe they were just talking big and offended the emperor, which would be a serious sin.

After this scare, Zhou Yaoyao will definitely change her bad habit of talking.

Just as Luan Meng finished thinking, she saw Eunuch Quan step forward and look at Zhou Yaoyao and the others: "Do you need us to read out the names one by one?"

Today he passed by the Imperial Garden and happened to see two noble ladies arguing.

Although she is the daughter of an official, she speaks foul language and even dares to be disrespectful to Princess Chen!

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Zhou Yaoyao and the others immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. Their parents' faces immediately changed.

They only dared to say a few words behind his back. When did they get to the Emperor? It would be fatal!

Zhou Yaoyao and her friends' parents also quickly stepped forward and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! My daughter is young and she spoke without restraint. It was all unintentional!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is my fault for not disciplining my daughter properly. I accept the punishment and beg Your Majesty to spare my daughter."

Eunuch Quan looked coldly at the crowd on the ground, and bowed to Cheng Jiuyuan, saying, "Do you think you can insult Princess Chen? Prince Chen and Princess Chen got married in the presence of His Majesty and the Pei family, Princess Chen's maternal grandfather's family. It was a formal marriage with three letters and six engagements!"

There was an uproar at the scene.

"Already married?"

"Prince Chen is actually married?"

"Why can't Prince Chen get married? The emperor isn't real...but the emperor is personally officiating the wedding."

"Now that we are married, it is only natural for us to live in the palace."

"Congratulations, Prime Minister!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Cheng Zongyang felt bitter.

He also wanted to take her back home and take the opportunity to repair the relationship between father and daughter.

Now that they are married, it is only natural for them to live in the palace. What excuse does he have to ask her to go back to the prime minister's residence?

“Very good, very good. When Prince Chen got married, Grand Tutor Zhu and I were present.” Minister Mu said proudly.

The women's section was quiet.

They have a legitimate reason, and this has shut everyone up.

Emperor Zhaolie looked at Zhou Yaoyao and the others in the room and said in a cold voice, "As the daughter of an official, you only know how to gossip all day long. I will punish you by grounding you for half a year and making you recite the female virtues a hundred times. You don't have to attend any palace banquets in the future."

House arrest and writing are considered light punishments. Not being allowed to attend palace banquets means that they are excluded from this circle of noble ladies.

Moreover, the emperor rebuked him personally, and his reputation was ruined.

Several people looked pale and their bodies were shaky, but they could only kowtow to express their gratitude.

Soon, a palace maid took a few noble ladies away, and the farce came to an end.

Emperor Zhaolie looked at Chu Heng and Cheng Jiuyuan, "Cheng girl, I feel that the wedding in Liping was unfair to you, so I have asked the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to choose an auspicious day to hold a grand wedding again. The day is June 12th, three months from now."

Chu Heng and Cheng Jiuyuan stood up and bowed to Emperor Zhaolie: "It's all up to your father to arrange."

"Okay, take a seat."

Cheng Jiuyuan and the other person sat down, and Emperor Zhaolie's gaze fell on the others again.
