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

As time went by, the seasons changed and eight years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past eight years, Dongling has developed rapidly.

Dongling’s weapons are advanced, and they also have fireballs that many countries don’t have, which are what Jiang Shiyuan’s world calls mines. The army is invincible.

No matter when, weapons and military power are the foundation of a country's prosperity, followed by the cultivation of talents.

During these eight years, Dongling Academies flourished everywhere. Both male and female students were admitted and could take part in the imperial examinations.

Female officials who entered the court through the imperial examinations also began to appear one after another.

Of course, this reform was protested by a number of old ministers at first, but the emperor insisted on doing so.

Chu Heng had Pei Xiang for civil affairs and Jiang Xiubai for military affairs; the six ministers, such as Mu Zhuo and Luan An, were all his confidants; and veteran ministers such as Zhu Taifu and Zhao Xin Hou had their say whatever the emperor said.

Chu Heng is the king who holds real power and has the final say. No matter how much others jump, it will not have much effect.

As it turned out, this decision was correct.

Many women took the queen as their role model. They stepped out of their boudoirs, engaged in business and politics, and legendary stories of women were heard in all walks of life.

This comparison makes us sigh and realize how many talents were buried due to restrictions on women in the past.

The more developed a place is, the more open-minded its people are. The development of Dongling also led other countries to follow suit, and the status of women was greatly improved.

……

In the imperial study, the eight-year-old Chu Shiyan sat at the head of the table, carefully reviewing memorials with the imperial pen.

At such a young age, he has such beautiful features and one can imagine how charming he will be in the future.

He looked calm, composed and gentle. Suddenly he raised his eyes and looked at Pei Xuan who was handling something on the side.

"Uncle, Jiang Xiubai wrote a letter saying that the only son of Marquis Anjing was sneaking around in the military camp, drinking and having fun while on patrol, and often bullying the people. According to military regulations, he should be killed. How should this matter be handled?"

"What do you think, Prince?" Pei Xuan put down the book and asked.

"I think they should be killed. Father encouraged these noble sons to serve in the army, not to enjoy themselves. If they are left alone, wouldn't the army be in chaos? But if they are killed, will it make other noble sons rebel or quit?"

Pei Xuan nodded: "Your Highness, I have said that if you kill one person, you can shock the whole army, so kill him; if you reward one person, you can please the whole army, so reward him. If you subdue the most difficult troublemaker, the people below will naturally obey you. Moreover, Jiang Xiubai is in charge of the Black Armor Army, Your Highness should trust him and tell him that in the future, there is no need to report such matters, and everything should be done according to military regulations."

"If we kill the son of Marquis Anjing, then the others..."

"As a ruler, you must combine kindness and authority. Some of these noble children have performed well."

The little prince's eyes lit up: "Uncle, I understand."

Pei Xuan nodded with satisfaction, lowered his eyes and continued to deal with the things in his hands.

After a while, Chu Shiyan looked up again and asked, "Uncle, when will my father and mother return to the palace? I haven't seen them for almost three months."

Pei Xuan didn't raise his head and replied, "It should be soon..."

As they were talking, they heard a cry coming from outside the imperial study. The two people, one big and one small, who had looked calm just now, frowned at the same time.

Soon the door of the imperial study was pushed open, and a little girl of four or five years old ran in from outside, threw herself into Pei Xuan's arms, and her tears and snot got all over Pei Xuan, who couldn't help but twitched the corners of his eyes for several times.

“Dad! Wuuwuwu…”

At this time, two children aged seven or eight came in from outside the door.

The girl has a delicate and pretty face, a pair of lively eyes, and dimples that are faintly visible when she smiles. She is obviously a beauty at first glance.

This is none other than Princess Duanhe Chu Shiyi, the legitimate princess and the prince's elder sister, who is both loved and hated by everyone in the palace.

The boy looked very much like Pei Xuan, wearing a wrinkled moon-white brocade robe. He was Pei Xuan's eldest son, Pei Huaifeng, who was only half a year younger than Princess Duanhe.

Pei Xuan took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the face of the little girl in his arms, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Wow, sister Shiyi said she was going to treat the mice, but the mice all died after eating her medicine, woooo..."

Chu Shiyi opened her eyes with innocence: "I'm not wrong. If mice take this medicine, they will never get sick again."

Chu Shiyan frowned: "Rats? Where did the rats come from in this palace?"

"The cold palace, there were a lot of rats in there, but now they are all dead." Thinking of the dead rats all over the ground, Pei Huaifeng was still a little frightened, and his little face turned a little pale.

Chu Shiyan glared at Chu Shiyi: "Royal sister, such a big palace can't accommodate you, and you actually went to the cold palace to play?"

"We're all tired of playing in this palace, and you don't allow me to leave..." Chu Shiyi said righteously.

"Did you steal the Queen Mother's medicine again?"

"You underestimate me, that's the medicine I made myself!" Chu Shiyi put his hands on his hips, looking very proud.

Chu Shiyan had a headache. His mother had taught his sister medicine, but he didn't expect that she would be able to make poison so quickly.

"Where did you get those medicinal herbs?" Pei Xuan asked.

Chu Shiyi glanced at Pei Huaifeng guiltily, and Pei Huaifeng lowered his head guiltily.

"Speak!" Chu Shiyan glared at the two of them.

"We went to the Imperial Hospital to steal... and borrow it."

Chu Shiyan laughed angrily and was about to speak when several eunuchs and palace maids came in from outside.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. It is our fault that we did not take good care of the princess."

The palace maids also felt aggrieved. These little masters were good at both poison and kung fu, and were extremely familiar with the palace. It was too easy to get rid of them.

God knows when they found the cold palace and saw rats all over the floor, they were almost scared to death.

The little girl in Pei Xuan's arms cried bitterly: "Wuwuwu, my Xiaobai! He died so tragically, wuwuwu..."

Pei Xuan looked at Pei Huaifeng in confusion: "Who is Xiaobai?"

"It's a little white mouse. My sister said she wanted to take it home to raise it."

"Yes, Xiaobai is so cute. I want to eat and sleep with Xiaobai... woooo..."

Pei Xuan was speechless. It seemed that she was crying so sadly not because she was scared, but because she was crying because the little white mouse died.

If she really brought a mouse back home and put it on the bed to sleep with them, he could imagine Ah Yu screaming in fear.

Chu Shiyan looked at the palace servants kneeling on the ground and waved her hand: "Stand up, everyone. This is not your fault."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Chu Shiyan looked at Chu Shiyi and said in a cold voice: "Royal sister, what do you think has happened to this palace? The koi in the lake, my mother's Persian cat, and now you haven't even spared the mice in the cold palace."

Chu Shiyi walked forward with a smile and pinched the serious emperor's cheek: "Then let me leave the palace."

"no!"

Chu Shiyi rolled his eyes: "I knew it."

She pulled Pei Huaifeng over and said, "Let's go."

Pei Xuan lowered his head and patiently coaxed his daughter, planning to go back home and deal with that little bastard.

At this time, a eunuch came in from outside the door: "Your Highness, Prime Minister Pei, the Emperor and the Empress have returned to the palace!"

Chu Shiyi, who had just reached the door, cheered and pulled Pei Huaifeng towards Fengyi Palace.

Pei Xuan, holding his daughter, and Chu Shiyan also hurried out.
