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

"Your Majesty, shall I have someone come in to help you wash and change your clothes?"

Emperor Zhaolie waved his hand and sat on the edge of the bed in his pajamas.

In less than an incense stick of time, he said impatiently, "Let him get in."

Eunuch Quan had a smile on his face, he knew that His Majesty was reluctant to let His Highness kneel for too long.

Soon Chu Heng came in with Eunuch Quan.

Emperor Zhaolie frowned instantly when he saw it.

"How did you end up like this?"

In the past, whether Chu Heng smiled with contempt or sarcasm, he was always smiling.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, with a hint of violence in them, and there was no trace of a smile on his face.

Chu Heng knelt on the ground without saying a word, shocking Emperor Zhaolie so much that his eyes flashed.

"Father, please grant me and Miss Cheng a marriage!"

"Yesterday you swore that you would never marry, but today you slap yourself in the face?"

Emperor Zhaolie's eyes were full of curiosity. What had happened to make him change suddenly?

Chu Heng was flexible and kowtowed to admit his mistake.

"Yesterday, I was ungrateful. Second Miss Cheng has a noble character and is both virtuous and talented. I have deep feelings for her. She is the only one who can be my wife. I beg Father to grant my wish!"

Emperor Zhaolie looked at Eunuch Quan, who also had a bewildered look on his face.

Your Highness and the Second Miss of the Cheng family have no connection at all, so how come they are so deeply in love?

Emperor Zhaolie originally wanted to find an assistant for him, but he had not yet found out the girl's condition, so he could not issue an order rashly.

He also wanted to dampen his son's enthusiasm. He dared to challenge him, which was really ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.

"You go down first. Let me think about this matter."

"Father! If you don't agree, I will kneel here!"

Emperor Zhaolie was angry.

Yesterday he wanted to arrange a marriage, but this guy turned his face away. Today he was not in a hurry, but this guy was crazy again and insisted that he make an order.

He is the king of a country, how can he let others control him!

"Kneel if you want!" Then he looked at Eunuch Quan and said, "Change your clothes and go to court!"

The palace servants came in to help Emperor Zhaolie wash and dress, but no one dared to look up at the Fifth Prince who was kneeling in the hall.

After washing up, Emperor Zhaolie snorted coldly and left the Yangxin Palace with a flick of his sleeves.

Eunuch Quan looked at the father and son who were quarreling again and sighed.

"Your Highness, why do you change your mind so suddenly? You agreed yesterday. Isn't that a great joy to everyone?"

Chu Heng pursed his thin lips.

He was so afraid that the dream would come true, and he had to eliminate all possibilities between Chu Ze and her.

If he and she were engaged, no matter what happened, even if he died, he would not break off the engagement and let her marry Northern Qi!

"Your Highness, look how much His Majesty loves you. Even though he was so angry, he didn't ask you to kneel outside. This was to save your face. Just give in and say something nice..."

"Little Quanzi! Where have you been?" Emperor Zhaolie's angry roar came from outside the palace.

"Your Highness, please kneel down first. I will take my leave." Eunuch Quan bowed and hurried out of the hall.

Emperor Zhaolie went to the morning court, and the harem was very lively.

The Queen and Concubine Xian heard that Chu Heng went to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity before dawn and never came out.

The two of them guessed that the emperor was going to grant a marriage, but Chu Heng didn't want to marry and was making trouble with the emperor.

The virtuous concubine was taking care of the freshly cut flowers while listening to the palace maid's report.

"My Lady, what do you think the Fifth Prince is making a fuss about? Although Miss Cheng is weak, her appearance and family background are outstanding among the noble ladies."

The virtuous concubine curled her lips, "I hope Chu Heng makes a big fuss and angers the emperor. It would be best if he is thrown to his fiefdom in anger."

But she had no idea what Chu Heng was doing in the Yangxin Palace.

Her people were spread all over the imperial palace, except for one place, which was the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Those who can serve in the Yangxin Palace are all the emperor's confidants. No one can bribe them, let alone place their own people in.

Everyone who came to the palace said that the emperor's favorite was her, but the emperor only came to have lunch and seldom rested in her palace.

Fortunately, he did not rest in the palace of other concubines.

……

After the morning court session, Emperor Zhaolie walked back.

"That bastard is still in the Yangxin Palace?"

"Yes, Your Highness has been kneeling for almost an hour."

"Who does this stubborn temper come from? Tell me."

Eunuch Quan smiled, and his meaning was self-evident.

"Your Majesty, today's scene reminds me of the past. At that time, Your Majesty also knelt before the late emperor and begged him to grant us marriage."

Recalling the past, the anger on Emperor Zhaolie's face dissipated a lot.

"I knelt for three days and three nights at that time."

After a while, he said again: "So, this bastard looks like me."

"Your Majesty, if we really get serious, is there any parent in this world who can defeat their child?"

Emperor Zhaolie was about to go to the Imperial Study, but after struggling for a long time, he said, "Return to the Yangxin Palace!"

Eunuch Quan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Your Highness, I have risked offending His Majesty by bringing up the late Queen. Please do not make His Majesty angry again.

……

The emperor decreed a marriage between the fifth prince and the prime minister's daughter, shocking the entire court.

I heard that the fifth prince begged for a whole day and night but failed to get the emperor to rescind his order.

Some people say that the Fifth Prince is ungrateful. Even though the Prime Minister's daughter is a sickly girl, she is a good match for an unpopular prince like you. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?

Some people also said that the prime minister's plan had failed. Everyone was secretly guessing who the prime minister's daughter would end up with. It was probably the crown prince or the third prince, but unexpectedly the fifth prince appeared halfway through.

No matter what everyone said, during the morning court session that day, Emperor Zhaolie granted the marriage and all the officials congratulated him, shocking Cheng Zongyang so much that his head was buzzing.

"Congratulations, Prime Minister!"

"It's a match made in heaven. Congratulations!"

Cheng Zongyang was unwilling in his heart, but since Emperor Zhaolie was staring at him, he had to put on a happy face.

When the imperial decree granting marriage reached the Prime Minister's residence, some were happy while others were shocked.

"Accept my order, Miss Cheng Er."

Cheng Jiuyuan suppressed her shock and said, "Your Highness, long live the emperor."

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was full of joy: "Congratulations, Second Miss Cheng."

The maid next to Lin stuffed a purse into the father-in-law's pocket, and Lin smiled and said, "Please come to the inner hall for tea, father-in-law."

"No, we have to go back to the palace now."

"Father-in-law, walk slowly."

After her father-in-law left, Cheng Yunge stepped forward with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, sister."

She was really happy.

Although she didn't know why this life was different from her previous life, when she left this world in her previous life, the Fifth Prince went to the most remote fiefdom.

Since Cheng Jiuyuan is engaged to him, she will have nothing to do with Chu Ze, and there will be fewer obstacles for her to conquer Chu Ze.

Cheng Jiuyuan took Mu Jin and Song Lan back to her own yard.

"Miss, why would His Majesty grant you and His Highness the marriage?"

Cheng Jiuyuan couldn't figure it out either.

Didn't the emperor see how seriously ill she was? And he still granted her marriage to his own son?

No wonder people say Chu Heng is unpopular, it’s true.

As for the arranged marriage, Cheng Jiuyuan didn't have many thoughts except for the initial shock.

The arranged marriage did have some benefits. She no longer had to worry about the Crown Prince and Chu Ze, and could slowly "recover".

But, would what she was about to do implicate Chu Heng?

The mother and daughter in Qiu Shui Garden were also truly happy.

"Yun Ge, your chance has come!" Zhou didn't expect that Cheng Jiuyuan didn't marry the Crown Prince or the Third Prince, but the powerless Fifth Prince.

"Your father can't count on Cheng Jiuyuan, so he will definitely focus on you. If you can attract the attention of the Crown Prince or the Third Prince, your status as his co-wife will be secure!" Thinking of this, Zhou couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Cheng Yunge also thought so, but her target has always been Chu Ze.

Thinking about the Ju Yue Poetry Banquet in half a month, where Chu Ze would definitely show up, she had to perform well.

When the mother and daughter were happy, the maid came in and reported: "Aunt, Li is here again."

Cheng Yunge frowned: "Aunt, my aunt comes to ask for money every now and then, this is not a solution!"

Zhou also thought so, but who could blame her for having the leverage over him?
