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

After lunch, Cheng Jiuyuan leaned on the couch and read a book.

Although the sun was shining brightly outside and the cicadas were chirping, there was an ice basin inside the house, which was warm but not hot, making people drowsy.

Mu Jin sat aside embroidering flowers, looking up from time to time.

At this time, Song Lan came in from outside with a stern face.

Isatis is more cheerful and lively than hibiscus, and always has a smile on her face.

Cheng Jiuyuan asked curiously: "What's wrong? Who offended you?"

"No one messes with slaves."

"No one has provoked you, but you are so proud of yourself." Cheng Jiuyuan said with a smile.

Song Lan wanted to say something but stopped, and finally couldn't help herself.

"I just passed by the front yard and heard some maids talking about how His Majesty had granted marriage to the young lady and the Fifth Prince, and the Fifth Prince actually knelt for a whole day and night begging His Majesty to withdraw his order!" Now people outside are saying that the young lady is a sickly woman, and everyone is afraid of getting involved with her. It's really infuriating.

In her heart, her girl is the best in the world and worthy of anyone.

Mu Jin put down the needle and thread in her hands and frowned.

The calmest one is Cheng Jiuyuan.

"Girl, you're not angry?"

"Why are you angry? The Fifth Prince and I are strangers to begin with. Your Majesty is just randomly matching us up..."

At this time, Chun Xing hurried in.

"Miss, the Fifth Prince has come down and is heading towards our courtyard now."

Cheng Jiuyuan was stunned. It was really true that one should not talk about people behind their backs.

After a while, Lin's voice was heard from outside the yard.

"Fifth Prince, this is Yuan'er's courtyard, please come in."

"Thank you. If you have something to do, I can go in by myself."

When Lin heard this, she immediately nodded and said, "Then I will take my leave."

Anyway, Cheng Jiuyuan is engaged to the Fifth Prince, and it’s broad daylight, with maids and old women all around the garden, so there’s no need to worry about gossip.

Chu Heng entered the yard, and Cheng Jiuyuan just came out of the room.

Because she had not been out, she was dressed simply, in a plain satin skirt. Anyone who knew the goods could tell at a glance that the material was thin but precious. The hem of the skirt was embroidered with hundreds of butterflies flying through flowers in silver thread. When she moved, the hem of the skirt fluttered, and the butterflies seemed to come alive.

There were no extra hair accessories on her head, only an ancient tassel hairpin tied into a bun, and her extra long hair hung down her back, like a waterfall. When the wind blew, the tassels swayed lightly, making her look elegant and graceful.

"Greetings, Your Highness." This was the first time she had greeted him properly.

Chu Heng raised his hand: "No need to be polite."

Chu Heng looked at her straightly, and when he thought of that dream, he clenched his hands into fists.

"Your Highness, please come in and have tea."

"Thank you."

After entering the house, Cheng Jiuyuan's politeness disappeared a lot.

Hibiscus served the snacks and she and Indigo left the room.

"Your Highness, are you here to arrange a marriage?" Cheng Jiuyuan asked.

Chu Heng nodded: "Yes, it happened suddenly..."

"This is indeed quite sudden, but the emperor has spoken with all his might. If you want him to take back his order, I'm afraid it would be in vain even if your highness kneels down and breaks his legs."

"Who said I want my father to take back his decision?" He asked for this.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at him, somewhat puzzled: "But it is said outside that Your Highness knelt before the Emperor for a whole day and night in order to get His Majesty to withdraw his marriage decree."

"Nonsense! There is no such thing as a day and a night! It's just an hour!"

Cheng Jiuyuan tilted her head and looked at him without saying anything.

Chu Heng immediately explained: "This is not the point. The point is that I knelt for an hour, not to ask the emperor to take back his decision, but to ask him to grant us a marriage!"

How did it spread like this?

Cheng Jiuyuan was even more confused: "You asked for a marriage of blessings?"

Chu Heng nodded: "Yes, I asked for it."

He couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had for her.

She saved him in Yunwu Mountain and helped him get out of trouble in Loudong. He was curious about her, grateful and admired her.

If that dream came true, he would be engulfed by anger and regret.

For the first time, he developed an almost paranoid possessiveness.

"Second Miss Cheng, marrying me will benefit both you and me."

Cheng Jiuyuan asked curiously: "Oh?"

"The young lady is upright and has a strong sense of martial arts. She is not suitable for the disputes in the imperial court. I also know that the young lady has her own abilities and will never be trapped in the imperial court."

"It just so happens that I don't like these either. I will only marry one person in my life, so there won't be any trouble in the backyard."

"Besides, I don't like the intrigues in the officialdom. I will be crowned in a year. Then I can ask for a fiefdom. Once I get there, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and I will never tie you down."

But before leaving, he had to take revenge.

Of course, he would prepare a way out for her, so that even if he failed, she could live a peaceful life.

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded thoughtfully: "It sounds very tempting to me."

Hearing him say that he wanted to stay away from the court and become a salted fish, Cheng Jiuyuan's face was moved, but in fact he was having a heart attack.

What she was going to do was so different from the future he had planned.

Cheng Jiuyuan asked: "But what do you want?" Since he wants to be a salted fish, he wouldn't be attracted by her family background, so is he attracted to her?

Chu Heng was stunned.

What is he planning?

Don't let dreams come true.

I hope she can live a peaceful life.

"My father said that if I want to go to the fiefdom, I must get married first. If it were other women, they might be greedy for the prosperity of the capital, and even if they went to the fiefdom, they would still be resentful of me, but the second young lady will not. Moreover, even if it is just to deal with it, I want to find someone who suits my heart, and the second young lady Cheng is just the right one."

Cheng Jiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his reason.

It's okay if you don't like her.

This marriage sounds more like a transaction.

Things have come to this point, and she can't ask the emperor to take back his imperial edict, so let's just leave it at that for now.

Chu Heng raised his glass: "Will the Second Miss agree?"

She wanted to live a free and easy life, and he would accompany her after he killed the queen and the prince and took revenge.

Cheng Jiuyuan raised his glass: "The imperial decree has been issued and cannot be changed."

He wanted to be a salted fish, and after she killed Chu Ze and Cheng Yunge, she could go with him to the fiefdom.

The two of them clinked their glasses, each with their own thoughts, and drank the tea like they were drinking wine.

Outside the door, Mu Jin covered her lips and yawned.

Song Lan saw the dark circles under her eyes and asked, "Sister, did you not sleep well last night?"

"Last night the cicada on the tree kept chirping. I was afraid it would disturb the young lady, so I took a bamboo pole and chased it away for a long time. I didn't expect it to fly back again today."

Song Lan looked at the cicada that was screaming desperately at the moment and scratched her hair. She slept too soundly last night and didn't hear anything.

It's already autumn, why is it still so hot?

Suddenly, her eyes fell on the person on the treetop.

"Hey, help me."

She just saw him jump lightly and run up the tree, he must be very good at kung fu.

Shan Lan looked around and pointed at himself: "Me?"

"Who else but you? This damn cicada is disturbing my girl, help catch it."

She didn't dare to provoke the black-faced god, but this man looked easier to talk to.

Seeing her sister so confident, Mu Jin pulled her and then smiled embarrassedly at Shan Lan.

"I'm sorry, I was rude."

Isand wrinkled her nose.

Shan Lan also thought the cicada was too noisy, so he jumped up and caught the cicada easily. The cicada stopped chirping, and the garden suddenly became much quieter.

"Wow!" The wicker on the ground tilted its head back and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Shanlan smiled complacently.

Songlan reacted and shut up immediately.

I did take it for granted just now, but my daughter will be the mistress of these two people in the future, so catching a cicada will be a piece of cake for her.

"It's too hot today. You two should go to the side room and have some cold tea." Mu Jin said.

"No need." Chi Zhang leaned against the tree trunk holding the sword and uttered two words.

"My sister's ice cream is better than the ones sold outside. Would you like some?"

Just consider it as a way to thank him for catching cicadas.

“No need.” Chi Zhang still said these two words.

Instead, Shan Lan hurriedly said, "If you don't want it, I will. Thank you, young lady."

"Then you wait." Song Lan turned and went to the small kitchen.

After spending a short time together, Mu Jin also got to know the personalities of these two people.

One is cold, the other is hot. One is still, the other is moving.

If you encounter any problems in the future, it will be more convenient to find Lord Shanlan.
