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

East Palace

"Get out!" The prince smashed the maid's head with a teacup. The maid didn't care about the blood on her face and retreated tremblingly.

The voice of a maidservant came from outside the door: "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen."

Chu Jing suppressed his anger.

Soon, a woman in a phoenix robe appeared at the door.

She has an oval face and slender eyebrows. Although she is nearly 40 years old, her well-maintained face shows almost no signs of aging except for a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes.

She glanced indifferently at the room and ordered the palace servants: "Clean it up!"

"Yes." The palace servant hurried in to clean up.

The prince bowed and saluted: "Mother, why are you here?"

The queen did not answer, but walked to the front, lifted her phoenix robe, and sat down in the main seat. Her every move was full of majesty.

"Get out after you're done packing." The nanny beside the queen spoke to the maid.

After the palace maids left, there were only three people left in the room.

The Queen slowly spoke: "You made such a big fuss, is it because you want your father to know that you are dissatisfied with his handling of the matter?"

The prince bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I dare not."

"What did I tell you? I told you to ignore that evil star, and what did you do?"

Although her voice sounded very calm, the majesty she inadvertently revealed made the prince dare not look up.

"My son, my son is afraid of having another opponent."

"Stupid!" The queen opened her thin lips and uttered a word.

The prince gritted his teeth but didn't dare to say anything.

"You are the prince. As long as you don't make a big mistake, no matter how high they jump, it will be in vain."

"Can……"

"Even the third brother can't compare with you. No matter how favored the virtuous concubine is or how outstanding his talent is, what does it matter? As long as your grandfather is here and as long as I am still the queen, you can rest assured! If you want to sit on this throne, you can only rely on military power."

The prince nodded: "Mother is right."

Seeing that he had listened, the queen softened her voice and said, "Do you know what to do now?"

"This son of yours will not leave the East Palace for the next half month, and will concentrate on studying and copying scriptures."

The queen nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, your uncle is watching over the front dynasty, so there won't be any chaos. Please let me be more careful and don't make any more noise."

The Queen stood up after saying this.

"Farewell to my mother."

After leaving the East Palace, the coldness on the Queen's face disappeared and was replaced by a gentle smile.

"Today is the fifteenth day. Dongning, prepare the food that His Majesty likes."

The nanny beside her hesitated to speak, and finally whispered, "Your Majesty, Chief Steward Quan came to report that His Majesty will have lunch at Concubine Xian's Qingxuan Palace."

When the queen heard this, she almost couldn't hold back the smile on her face.

She clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

Just now she was advising the prince in the East Palace, but now it was her turn, she realized she couldn't be magnanimous.

"Shangguan Huan is such a vixen!"

"My queen, why are you angry? You are the queen."

Compared with the queen and her son who were so angry that they were like pufferfish, Qingxuan Palace was much warmer.

The palace is not luxurious, but warm everywhere, making people feel relaxed as soon as they enter.

At this time, the aroma of snacks in the hall makes people salivate.

"Mother, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

The beautiful lady in palace dress at the top was leaning on the beauty couch, looking at him with a smile: "Eat less, we will have lunch soon."

"No wonder father likes to come to you."

The virtuous concubine curled her lips and smiled. She was beautiful, as beautiful as ink depicting snow. This smile was like a spring breeze blowing on the winter snow.

"The prince is under house arrest. Don't do anything too much during this period. Your father dotes on you, but the prince has the Wei family behind him."

"Don't worry, mother. I know my limits."

"You have been a worry-free person for me since you were a child, so I am naturally relieved."

"Mother, you didn't see Chu Jing's expression today. He was stupid for thinking Chu Heng was not prepared."

Xian Fei sat up straight and said, "I didn't realize that this old fifth brother has some tricks up his sleeve."

"Mother, it's hard for us to defeat the Wei family and Chu Jing by ourselves. I wonder if we can find a knife?"

"You mean Lao Wu?"

"Yes, the fifth brother has no power behind him, so I think he is very suitable. Take today for example, didn't Chu Heng let Chu Jing suffer a loss?"

"Moreover, if someone who knows the death of the late queen and the late crown prince tells him anything, he and Chu Jing will fight to the death."

Concubine Xian disagreed and said, "What if raising a tiger becomes a threat..."

"Mother, you worry too much. You forget that he will never be able to hold that position."

The virtuous concubine then curled her lips.

"It's been too long. If you hadn't mentioned it, Mother would have almost forgotten it."

How can a prince who cannot carry on the family line sit on the throne?

"You haven't openly taken advantage of him over the years. I think you can try this knife."

Chu Ze also smiled happily.

He didn't take advantage of the situation because he knew that the fifth brother could not sit on the throne and was not qualified to be his opponent.

As long as he shows a little favor, he can make Lao Wu grateful.

The mother and son were laughing happily in the hall when a majestic voice was heard.

"What are you talking about? You're laughing so happily."

Xian Fei immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"My son, I will meet my father."

"What were you laughing at just now? Tell me, and I will be happy too."

"Nothing much, I just told you a little story."

"Well, you should come and spend more time with your mother. Look how happy she is." Emperor Zhaolie took Concubine Xian's hand and patted it, with a faint smile on his face.

Chu Ze cupped his hands and said, "I will not disturb you any more, Father and Mother. I will take my leave now."

"Stay and have lunch together?" asked the virtuous concubine.

"No, I'm afraid my teeth will get sour." Chu Ze joked.

After saying that, he smiled and turned and left.

"This child..."

"Only in your palace can I enjoy the ordinary family happiness..."

After leaving the Yunguang Palace, Chu Ze put away his smile, his eyes full of ambition.

Why does Chu Jing sit in that position? He is just relying on his maternal grandfather Wei Tiankuang.

And he, Chu Ze, is better than him in every way.

He did not return to his own Jiuhua Palace, but went to Zichen Palace.

When he entered, Chu Heng was lying in a rocking chair, holding a book in one hand and throwing beans into the air with the other, then catching them with his mouth without even looking at them.

"You are so leisurely. I am really envious of you."

Chu Heng did not stand up, but just glanced at him: "Third brother? What a rare guest."

Chu Ze looked around the house. It was too simple to be a prince's residence. He sighed and said, "You have suffered a lot over the years."

"Oh, I'm used to it."

"Fifth brother, you are not a child anymore, it's time for you to get married and start a family. Why don't you let your elder brother talk to father and ask him to give you a position so that you can stop wasting your time." Chu Ze spoke earnestly, and it seemed that he was really thinking about his younger brother.

"Brother, I don't know anything. It's good for me to be an idle person."

"So do you have a girl you like?"

When Chu Heng heard this question, a beautiful green figure appeared in his mind.

Soon he waved his hands repeatedly: "Royal brother, stop. I'm fine like this."

The two chatted in the house for a while, and a light drizzle began to fall outside the window.

"I just came to see you. If you have made up your mind, come and tell me. I am leaving first."

"Brother, please walk slowly. Be careful of the slippery road."

After Chu Ze left, Shan Lan and Chi Zhang came in.

"Your Highness, what is he doing here?"

"Probing, trying to win over."

Chi Zhang snorted coldly: "You are trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife."

Chu Heng stood up, stretched his muscles, and walked to the window.

Gusu is also a rainy place.

"Bring me an umbrella."

"Your Highness, are you going out? You are under house arrest."

“Just walk around the yard.”

Shan Lan handed over the umbrella and asked curiously, "Don't you dislike rainy days, Your Highness?"

"Nonsense, who said I don't like rainy days?"

After saying that, he held up an umbrella and strolled in the yard.

Shan Lan's eyes lit up: "Oh~ I guess, I know the reason."

He called out to the man in the rain, "Your Highness, how is it? Is the rain beautiful?"

Chu Heng's lips curled slightly.
