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

Chapter 74 Big Deception

The clear sun shines brightly, and the wind and grace are harmonious.

Cheng Jiuyuan leaned on the chaise longue, looking at the information in her hand.

"Girl, these are the secret forces of the Third Prince that Wuyingtang has investigated."

Looking at the more than ten pages of paper, Wuyingtang is really generous.

Not only did they find out the names and positions of these people, they also almost dug out their eight generations of ancestors.

It seems that Master has done a great favor to Wuyingtang.

"Master He also said that these days, another group of people have been investigating the prince's faction, asking if they are our enemies?"

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at the information in his hand and said, "It seems that He Chen thinks we are the prince's faction. Tell He Chen not to bother with those people."

"Yes, girl."

Cheng Jiuyuan memorized the list in his mind, stood up, walked to the candle and burned it.

After looking at the list reduced to ashes, she turned around.

The tokens given by the master are quite useful. They can be used to check news, kill people and rob goods, make weapons and set up formations. There are all kinds of talents.

Song Lan came in with breakfast: "Miss, it's time for breakfast."

Cheng Jiuyuan was sitting at the table, preparing to eat, when a maid came in hurriedly: "Miss, the Prime Minister asked you to go to the study."

Mu Jin stepped forward and said, "Miss, go ahead. I will simmer it on a low fire."

Cheng Jiuyuan stood up and took Song Lan to the study.

"Dad, are you looking for me?"

Cheng Zongyang raised his head, his face showing no emotion, but Cheng Jiuyuan knew what he was doing.

"I heard that you stole the show at the poetry gathering yesterday?"

Cheng Jiuyuan was full of doubts: "Dad, did my daughter do something wrong?"

Cheng Zongyang's heart sank, she had no idea of his plan.

It was also his fault that he had no idea that she had this ability, so he didn't warn her and let her ruin things.

"You are engaged, but your sister's marriage is not settled yet. Do you understand?"

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded and said crisply: "I have heard that you are a famous talented woman in the capital, but I didn't expect you to be so..." vulnerable.

Looking at his daughter's innocent face, Cheng Zongyang had no place to vent his anger.

"How come Dad doesn't know that you can play the piano and compose poetry? Is there anything about you that Dad doesn't know?"

She has this ability, and if she is a little more scheming, and she is the legitimate daughter, she will be his best helper.

It's a pity that this child has great abilities but a simple mind.

"Dad, you want my sister to marry the Crown Prince or the Third Prince, right?"

Cheng Zongyang jumped up from his chair and growled in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Dad, you have to choose your target when you want to follow the dragon. The Crown Prince and the Third Prince both have powerful grandparents to help them. Even if they succeed, how much benefit can Dad get?"

Cheng Zongyang looked at her with an innocent face as she said such outrageous words, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether she was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.

"you shut up!"

Cheng Jiuyuan didn't shut up, but continued: "After all, how can adding icing on the cake be as memorable as sending charcoal in the snow?"

Cheng Zongyang pointed at her and didn't say anything for a long time.

He sat back in his chair. Actually, if he thought about it calmly, he realized that what she said made sense.

Behind the Crown Prince is General Wei Tiankuang, and the Third Prince's maternal grandfather is Shangguan Huai, Marquis of Guangyi. No matter whether the Crown Prince or the Third Prince ascends the throne, it seems that there is not much room for him beside them.

But apart from these two, there is only one Fifth Prince.

He glanced at Cheng Jiuyuan. He now knew that his daughter was just pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

Not only is she not stupid, she is also very smart.

As the prime minister, he could more or less guess what the emperor was thinking.

But even so, not only did the Fifth Prince have no intention of becoming emperor, but more importantly, he did not have the ability to compete with the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.

However, he also makes mistakes sometimes.

After all, there was one standing in front of him.

Perhaps the Fifth Prince is just like his daughter, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?

After a long silence, Cheng Zongyang asked tentatively: "The Fifth Prince is just an idle prince. What do you expect from him?"

"Dad, it's hard to predict the future. Maybe the result will be beyond your expectations."

In fact, Cheng Jiuyuan also knew that this was impossible, but in order to make Cheng Zongyang hesitate and not stand on Chu Ze's side, she could only say something ambiguous.

A dark light flashed across Cheng Zongyang's eyes. Sure enough, these two people were planning something.

He was wondering why the Fifth Prince suddenly asked the Emperor to grant him a marriage. It turned out that the two of them had a private connection.

He felt that it would be difficult for these two to succeed, but he was also moved by the saying "Adding icing on the cake is less memorable than sending charcoal in the snow".

What if it succeeds?

Behind the Fifth Prince is the Cheng family, which is the most powerful family in the world.

He is like a gambler. Although the risk is high, the reward is high.

The other two actually face quite a bit of risk, since they are equally strong after all.

There is a saying that goes, "When the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits." Does the Fifth Prince want to be the fisherman?

He struggled for a long time and decided to wait and see.

Originally, Yun Ge was only seventeen, so she could wait another two years and make plans when the situation became clearer, but His Majesty's health...

Just give the Fifth Prince a little more time, he will observe.

"You are a girl. Although you are engaged, you still need to be careful. Your coming-of-age ceremony is coming soon. You should go to the main courtyard and ask your mother about the etiquette you should learn."

Cheng Jiuyuan knew that her words had touched Cheng Zongyang's heart.

There are many people in Dongling who want to work for the prince and Chu Ze, but Cheng Zongyang is very ambitious, so it would be good if we can stabilize him temporarily.

"Yes."

"Go."

"My daughter is resigning."

Cheng Jiuyuan returned to the yard and after having breakfast, he saw Chun Xing lingering at the door.

"Haru Apricot."

Chun Xing walked into the house slowly, her walking posture was a little strange. She bowed to Cheng Jiuyuan and said, "Miss."

Cheng Jiuyuan took out a prescription and handed it to her: "This is your mother's prescription."

Chun Xing took it and said with gratitude: "Thank you, young lady!"

"Miss, Aunt Zhou asked me to go to Qiu Shui Garden last night." Chun Xing took the initiative to speak.

"Ask me why I know the zither and poetry?"

Chun Xing nodded: "Yes, I heard that you have been recuperating in the mountains. I didn't go with you, so I don't know. But Aunt Zhou doesn't seem to trust me as much as before."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Chun Xing and asked, "Did she punish you?"

Chun Xing pursed her lips and subconsciously looked at her knees.

Mu Jin walked forward and pulled up Chun Xing's trouser leg, and instantly took a breath of cold air.

I saw that Chun Xing's knees were badly swollen, like two big purple buns.

Cheng Jiuyuan frowned and took out a small porcelain bottle.

"Wipe it once in the morning and evening."

Chun Xing took the porcelain bottle: "Thank you, young lady."

"From now on, you don't need to go to Qiushui Garden without my order!"

Chun Xing looked at Cheng Jiuyuan suspiciously: "Girl?"

"You are mine. How dare she, a concubine, come to my yard to arrest people?"

Chun Xing's eyes were slightly red, the girl finally said that he was hers.

"Thank you, young lady!" Chun Xing was about to kneel down to express her gratitude, but was stopped by Mu Jin.
