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

"Your Highness, you can let go now."

Chu Heng glanced at the clasped hands.

The back of her hand was cool and smooth, her skin was delicate, like the finest mutton-fat jade, and her fingers were long and beautiful. Her fingertips were not painted with nail polish, but a light pink color, which was soft to the eye and touch.

Instead of letting go, he exerted a little more force.

He has always been gentle and polite, and Cheng Jiuyuan did not expect him to do this.

Hearing a muffled laugh coming from above his head, Cheng Jiuyuan struck out with a palm and quickly retreated.

She knew her strength well and didn't hurt anyone.

"Miss Cheng is really cruel. I arranged the guards for the paddock and came to look for you. But you were here with others, listening to the wind and admiring the flowers..." There was a hint of grievance in his voice.

Cheng Jiuyuan glanced at him, turned around and was about to leave without saying a word.

Chu Heng curled his lips and reluctantly accepted her implicit eye roll.

"You're angry?"

"No." She wanted to go back to find Zhu Jin. The prince was still harboring evil intentions, and she couldn't leave Zhu Jin alone.

"Sister Cheng!" Zhu Jin hurried over with her maid.

"Are you okay?" Cheng Jiuyuan asked.

"It's okay. After you left, the Third Prince also left."

Zhu Jin bowed to Chu Heng and said, "Greetings, Fifth Prince."

Chu Heng had already put away his smile and nodded slightly, looking dignified.

Zhu Jin glanced at the two of them and said tactfully, "I will go back first and will not disturb you, sister and Your Highness."

Without waiting for Cheng Jiuyuan to say anything, he pulled Yun'er over and said, "Yunyun, hurry up and go!"

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Mu Jin and the other two and said, "You should follow Miss Zhu as well."

Mu Jin and Song Lan competed in martial arts. Although they were not experts, it was still early in the morning and there were people everywhere, so it was relatively safe.

"Then you, girl..."

"I will send your daughter off myself."

Mu Jin and the other person felt relieved and followed Zhu Jin and his servant in front.

Cheng Jiuyuan turned and walked forward, and Chu Heng walked side by side with her.

Chu Heng raised his lips, his eyebrows full of smiles.

"Your Highness, are you responsible for the safety of His Majesty during this hunt?"

"The Royal Guards are in charge. I am just coordinating."

"Jinyiwei..."

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Chi Xu, was promoted by the Wei family and is considered the prince's man.

"By the way, I just heard something I shouldn't have heard." Cheng Jiuyuan stopped and looked sideways at her.

"what?"

"There are gold mines in Xilin and Zhaoping."

"Hear what Chu Ze said?"

"Yes."

She didn't mention Cheng Yunge.

In the eyes of outsiders, Cheng Yunge is just an ordinary girl. Naturally, she is not as important as Chu Ze.

She had to block these two roads before Chu Ze's people got there.

She also thought about waiting for Chu Ze's people to swallow the gold mine before exposing it. But she thought again, Chu Ze has always been cautious and would not directly get involved in these things. He has a nest of scapegoats.

Even if he is exposed, he will not be implicated. It will only kill some small followers and easily alert the enemy.

If there are many such coincidences before Chu Ze's people, Chu Ze will suspect that Cheng Yunge is not the only one who has bet on him.

"Your Highness can ask His Royal Highness's men to check it out. This is an opportunity to show off in front of His Majesty. I believe His Royal Highness will be very happy to do so."

The two of them strolled in the wintersweet forest. The surroundings were silent and quiet, as if isolated from the world, with only the crunching sound of their steps on the thin snow.

The fragrance of plum blossoms wafts into the air, it is an elegant and refreshing aroma.

She deliberately lowered her voice, but it was still pleasant to hear.

Chu Heng listened carefully and took the matter to heart.

But there was some helplessness in his eyes.

"Your Highness?" Seeing that the person beside him did not respond for a long time, Cheng Jiuyuan turned his head and looked at him in confusion.

"I'll take care of this matter." Chu Heng casually pushed aside the plum branches that were blocking her way and asked, "Miss Cheng seems to be targeting my third brother?"

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are overthinking. I just think that the national treasury is empty now. If someone else conceals the gold mine for personal gain, that person really shouldn't do that."

Then he added, "I was afraid that the Third Prince would be angry with you because of this matter, so I thought of borrowing the power of the Crown Prince."

"Is that so?"

"Exactly."

She had a gentle smile and certainly didn't look like someone who was rebellious enough to go against the royal family.

Chu Heng turned his head and looked forward. Before they knew it, they had reached the halfway point of the mountain.

On the top of the distant mountain, the sea of ​​clouds is surging, and the mountain peaks are hidden in the clouds, elegant and dreamy.

"It does look a bit like Yunwu Mountain." Cheng Jiuyuan whispered.

I wonder if Master Yan has eaten well, and if he stayed up late to read the storybooks? Is San San okay?

Chu Heng turned his head to look at her. At this moment, he really felt like he was going back in time.

That day, she was also dressed in green, holding an umbrella in the rain. That scene is still clear.

Cheng Jiuyuan turned her head and met a pair of affectionate black eyes, and immediately looked away.

"Let's go, it's time to go back."

……

At the hour of You, things outside become lively.

The torches around the area made the sky appear orange, and the bonfires several meters high were used for defense, making the surroundings bright.

There were rows of patrolling guards coming and going all around, and there would be even more of them at night.

A palace maid entered the tent and said, "Second Miss Cheng, the banquet is about to begin. You can go over first."

"Girl, the nights in the mountains are even colder. Hold this hand warmer." Mu Jin handed her a hollow pine, bamboo and white copper hand warmer and helped her adjust her cloak.

Song Lan came in from outside, rubbing her hands and breathing hard, her face full of excitement: "Girl, it's so lively outside, there are Hu Ji dancing, and the general is roasting mutton himself! It's just too cold, but it's warm next to the fire."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard someone calling her outside.

"Miss Cheng, are you done packing?"

Zhu Jin's voice came again: "Sister Cheng, hurry up."

Cheng Jiuyuan brought the maid out of the tent and saw Chu Heng, Chu Wan and Zhu Jin standing at the door.

Chu Wan and Zhu Jin were also wrapped tightly and holding hand warmers.

Chu Wan was wrapped in a thick flannel cloak embroidered with a cluster of green bamboos, which made her skin look as white as snow. The two shallow dimples on her lips deepened when she saw Cheng Jiuyuan.

She stepped forward and took Cheng Jiuyuan's hand: "You are my future Fifth Sister-in-law, so it would be strange for me to call you Second Miss Cheng, so I will call you Sister Cheng."

She has three brothers, and she likes the fifth brother the most. Only the fifth brother cares about her like an ordinary brother.

Naturally, she also likes the person that the fifth prince likes.

What's more, this person can make Chu Qing lose face.

"Princess, you are praising me. This is against the rules."

"Then I'll shout in private."

After saying that, without waiting for Cheng Jiuyuan to respond, he pulled her to a busy place.

"Let's go, let's not just stand there, it's very lively over there, let's go."

Chu Wan dragged Cheng Jiuyuan, Chu Heng stood beside Cheng Jiuyuan, and Zhu Jin pouting.

She also liked to be next to Sister Cheng, but she didn't dare to compete with the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Princess for position.

So she could only fall to the back in a depressed mood.

Cheng Jiuyuan turned around and winked at her, and Zhu Jin became happy instantly.

Before arriving at the banquet venue, I could hear the bustling noise from afar.

"We've also invited a folk circus troupe for this hunt. Look, they can spit fire from their mouths!" Chu Wan shouted happily, pointing ahead.

Cheng Jiuyuan is a wandering person, and he knows all these tricks, so it's nothing special. But Chu Wan is different.

She was playful by nature, but was trapped in the deep palace and had little chance to leave.

Occasionally, when I had the chance to leave the palace and pass by the market, I could only take a glimpse of it from afar from the carriage.

The flames once again illuminated the reserved and beautiful faces of the ladies, and the crowd immediately cheered and it was very lively.

There were low tables neatly placed around, where civil officials and talented men recited poems and drank together, while military generals competed in an open space nearby.

The aroma of roasted meat fills the air, and even those who don’t like it will be infected by it in such a lively atmosphere.
