The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality
Chapter 68: Stepping on Cheng Yunge to Become Famous
Cheng Jiuyuan slowly raised his hand.
The veil fell, someone exclaimed, and then there was silence.
Under the veil was a face as smooth as cream. In the sunlight, it looked like dewdrops in the morning light, crystal clear, without any rash at all.
Not only was she not as ugly as imagined, but she had eyebrows like a crescent moon, lips as red as cinnabar, and her hair was half tied up.
She stood in the center with an elegant look, her eyes were cold and clear, and her blue dress was spotless in the sunlight, just like a solitary orchid in a valley, a beautiful color rarely seen in the capital.
Chu Ze looked at this familiar face with deep eyes and clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves.
She is actually Cheng Jiuyuan!
How could she be Cheng Jiuyuan!
He even secretly laughed at the sickly girl and the disabled man. The arranged marriage between Chu Heng and her could be said to be a conspiracy between the prince and him.
If I had known earlier that she was Cheng Jiuyuan...
The prince also widened his eyes and stood up.
"This, this..." He looked at Chu Heng beside him, with shock and envy in his eyes.
If he had known that this sickly girl was so pretty, he would have married her no matter how weak she was!
Now that she has become the fifth prince's, even though he is a bastard, he knows that if he wants to secure his position as the crown prince, he must not provoke Cheng Jiuyuan again, otherwise his father will not let him go.
Besides, Lao Wu is on his side now, and his plan cannot be ruined because of a woman.
What a pity! Why didn’t the Queen Mother tell him that this sickly boy had grown up like this?
Cheng Yunge curled his lips in triumph, thinking that these people were frightened by Cheng Jiuyuan, and immediately helped to plead: "Please forgive me, Your Highness, I didn't mean to..."
She turned her head and met Cheng Jiuyuan's smiling face. Her voice stopped abruptly and her eyes widened.
"You, your face..."
Cheng Jiuyuan touched her smooth face and said with a smile: "I took the medicine and it's fine."
Although she was smiling, that smile did not reach her eyes, which made Cheng Yunge feel a chill in his heart.
How can it be healed? That's 'broken snow'!
But she didn't dare ask, because the poison couldn't be known to anyone.
Chu Wan looked at Chu Heng and said with a smile: "Fifth Brother is so lucky. Your future sister-in-law is so pretty."
Chu Qing pointed at Cheng Jiuyuan and said coldly: "Cheng Jiuyuan, you are so bold that you dare to deceive this princess!"
Cheng Jiuyuan looked innocent: "Princess, where did you get this from?"
"Your face is fine, but you said you had a rash. And aren't you a sickly person? You've been sitting in the sun for so long, and you don't seem to be feeling any discomfort. How dare you lie to my father, the emperor, and my mother? You are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
As soon as Chu Qing finished speaking, a lazy voice sounded behind him.
"What your sister said means that the rash on Miss Cheng's face can't be cured?"
"Also, Miss Cheng has never said that she is weak. It's all rumors. Besides, even if she is weak, she will get better if the medicine is right."
Chu Qing turned around and looked at Chu Heng leaning on the chair, forgetting for a moment that he was engaged to Cheng Jiuyuan.
"Chu Heng, you actually spoke for her?"
Before Chu Heng could speak, Chu Wan beside him said, "Fourth sister, what you said is very strange. My brother should help my future sister-in-law. Your attitude is also very puzzling. My future sister-in-law's face has improved and her illness has also improved. Isn't this a good thing? Do you think my future sister-in-law is a faceless sickly woman?"
Cheng Jiuyuan looked at the Sixth Princess Chu Wan who was speaking for her. Chu Wan's mother, Concubine Chun, was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue.
The Minister of Revenue Mu Zhuo is a neutral person. He does not participate in party disputes. He will be loyal to whoever sits in that position.
It is said that such a loyal minister is the most favored by the legitimate crown prince, but Mu Zhuo died at the hands of the crown prince.
Later, the Sixth Princess injured Chu Qing with a knife for some unknown reason and was confined to her house for a year, gradually fading from everyone's sight.
She didn't have much contact with Chu Wan in her previous life, so this is all she knew.
Now that I think about it, Chu Wan’s fate in her previous life was also miserable.
Seeing Cheng Jiuyuan looking at her, Chu Wan winked at her playfully.
Cheng Jiuyuan suppressed his thoughts and responded with a faint smile.
"Stop talking nonsense, I didn't..." Chu Qing retorted with a dark face.
"Okay." The prince stepped forward to smooth things over and gave Chu Qing a warning look.
This Old Five is from his faction, and Cheng Jiuyuan is Old Five's future wife, so she is also one of his own.
"The poetry reading continues." The prince waved his hand, and Chu Qing returned to his seat unwillingly.
The people below were also discussing in low voices.
"This Second Miss Cheng is really good-looking."
"You can imagine that she can't be ugly. Although her mother is from a merchant family, she is also known as the most beautiful woman in Gusu. The prime minister also has a rare good appearance. How bad can this daughter be?"
"I originally thought that the eldest daughter of the Cheng family was already good-looking, but standing next to the second daughter of the Cheng family..."
As soon as this was said, someone stood up for Cheng Yunge: "What's the use of having good looks? The eldest daughter of the Cheng family is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is also Shangguan Jing's disciple. How can a fool compare to her?"
Zhu Jin was watching with his chin in his hand, he was very interested, this Cheng Jiuyuan was really interesting, he could make the Fourth Princess embarrassed.
Suddenly, he heard someone say that Cheng Jiuyuan was a fool, and he immediately refuted: "Have you forgotten that seven years ago, the seven-year-old Miss Cheng drew a portrait based on the prisoner's description and found out the murderer who killed her mother? Is she a fool?"
This story was widely circulated at the time, and her father often brought it up to lecture her.
When Cheng Jiuyuan returned to Beijing, it was said that she was a sickly person, and her father felt very sorry for her.
As soon as Zhu Jin retorted, everyone shut up.
Cheng Yunge listened to the discussions around him, then looked at Chu Ze and found that he was also looking at Cheng Jiuyuan.
She gritted her teeth secretly. As expected, Cheng Jiuyuan was able to attract Chu Ze with just her face.
She wanted Chu Ze and everyone else to see clearly that Cheng Jiuyuan was indeed just a pretty face.
In his previous life, Chu Ze was also infatuated with Cheng Jiuyuan for a while, but after gradually realizing that Cheng Jiuyuan was just a vase, he slowly transferred his affection to her.
Chu Qing at the top also thought so. She couldn't openly embarrass Cheng Jiuyuan, but she could still embarrass her.
"Cheng Jiuyuan, your sister said you can continue my third brother's song?"
There was a look of gloating in Chu Qing's eyes, while there was curiosity in the eyes of the prince and Chu Wan.
Chu Heng looked at Cheng Jiuyuan. If she showed any sign of embarrassment or resistance, he would speak out to stop her.
Cheng Jiuyuan signaled him to keep quiet, today she was going to use Cheng Yunge to spread the reputation of this talented woman.
Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Chu Ze and said, "I will give it a try."
Her voice was very clear, clean and slightly cold, and it penetrated into Chu Ze's heart.
"Please come in." Chu Ze said, looked at her deeply, turned around and sat back in his seat.
Cheng Jiuyuan walked to the piano table and sat down gracefully.
Behind her, the sunlight sprinkled on the sparkling lake, like a layer of golden gauze.
She was dressed in a simple and elegant green dress and holding a guqin, she looked like a painting.
Cheng Jiuyuan lightly raised her white wrist and first tried the tone of the piano like a dragonfly touching the water.
The slender fingers gently plucked the strings, and beautiful notes poured out like flowing water. Cheng Jiuyuan smiled with satisfaction.
She lowered her eyes slightly, and lightly plucked the white strings with her fingers, and the sound of the piano, as moving as the spring breeze and as smooth as the rain, rang out.
Everyone was surprised at first; they didn't expect that she could really play the piano.
Then I listened carefully, and the more I listened, the more fascinated I became.
Cheng Yunge was shocked to see this scene. Didn't she get sick every three days and every five days in Gusu? How could she still have such a good piano skill?
It takes time to master such piano skills!
She was deceived by Cheng Jiuyuan!
When Cheng Jiuyuan finished playing Chu Ze's piece, the sound of the piano was seamless and integrated.
Chu Ze's eyes were full of joy and excitement.
Chu Heng glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, and a hint of coldness appeared at the corner of his lips. Then he looked at the woman playing the piano, and his expression became gentle again.
Cheng Jiuyuan was immersed in the sound of the piano, as if she had become one with it.
The sound of the piano echoed on the lake, interweaving with the breeze and sunshine, forming a dreamlike picture.
When the song ended, there was no other sound except the sound of the wind and the occasional sound of fish jumping out of the water in the lake, and everyone was still intoxicated.
Cheng Jiuyuan stood up slowly: "Excuse me for showing off."
"it is good!"
"Well continued!"
"Great!"
"I never thought Miss Cheng's piano skills were so high!"
Suddenly, there was thunderous applause.
Cheng Jiuyuan leaned forward slightly and walked towards her seat.
"Wait, move Miss Cheng's seat to the front."
Since she is the prime minister's daughter, why is she sitting there at the back?
As soon as the prince finished speaking, a palace servant brought Cheng Jiuyuan's coffee table over.
Cheng Jiuyuan also bowed generously and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Cheng Jiuyuan had just sat down when she heard someone calling her softly.
"Second Miss Cheng."
Cheng Jiuyuan turned her head and saw a very cute girl. She had curved eyebrows and waved at her gently.
Cheng Jiuyuan knew her. She was Zhu Jin, the daughter of the Grand Tutor and also the Crown Princess in her previous life.
Thinking of the final fate of such a bright and naughty girl, Cheng Jiuyuan felt that the prince deserved to die.
"Second Miss Cheng, you are so amazing!" Isn't this her father's ideal daughter?
Cheng Jiuyuan smiled at her.
Cheng Yunge was sitting in the back, looking very unhappy.
She had to admit that Cheng Jiuyuan's piano skills were better than hers.
No, maybe it wasn’t her piano skills, she just lost in composition. If Chu Heng hadn’t suggested changing the song…
The voice of Chu Qing from the top came again: "Since it is the Chrysanthemum Moon Poetry Gathering, of course we have to write poetry."
Cheng Yunge was delighted.
Even if Cheng Jiuyuan won another round at the piano, she would definitely not lose at writing poetry, after all, she had as many poems as she wanted.
But before she could finish being happy, that damn Chu Heng spoke again.
"Wait a minute."
