After swapping bodies with the princess, this prince slaughtered his way through the court and becam

Wei Xinyan was led to the school by a servant.

Standing outside the school, Wei Xinyan saw Shen Shumin already sitting inside.

A young girl with her shoulders and back hunched up sat upright in the classroom.

Although the girl was dressed conservatively, Wei Xinyan seemed to be able to see her graceful butterfly shoulders through her clothes.

The occasional glimpses of his wheat-colored skin seemed to exude a sense of power.

A confident and positive aura emanates from him even from behind.

Is this the tutor that Dad specially found for Ren Jingxing?

Wei Xinyan pursed her lips.

For some reason, she felt a sense of inferiority when she was in front of Shen Shumin.

And a trace of jealousy, deeply suppressed and imperceptible.

"Your Highness, you've finally arrived!"

A surprised voice broke the silence.

Mr. Li Zhou was so happy he almost cried.

He even went up to greet him personally, hoping that Wei Xinyan would quickly enter the school, as he was now very worried that the young master would run away.

Li Zhou's fate is now inextricably linked with that of the heir apparent of the Marquis of Xuanwei.

If Ren Jingxing passes the county examination, Li Zhou will become famous.

If Ren Jingxing fails the county examination, Li Zhou's reputation will be ruined!

Wei Xinyan bowed and cupped his hands in greeting to Li Zhou:

"I have met Mr. Li."

"Please sit down! This is your study companion; the Marquis says you two know each other!"

Shen Shumin's eyes lit up when she heard the voice. She quickly stood up and bowed to Wei Xinyan:

"Shumin greets the Crown Prince!"

Shen Shumin was extremely curious about Ren Jingxing now.

A playboy who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun not only knows how to manage the salt administration, but also runs a salt shop that is incredibly profitable!

Was he hiding his abilities all along?

But since the Crown Prince knows how to make salt and do business, why did he choose to take the imperial examination?

The crown prince probably isn't suited for the imperial examinations...

Shen Shumin had a good impression of Ren Jingxing.

But she didn't believe that the prince, who had been a playboy for over a decade, would suddenly master the intricacies of the imperial examinations.

Wei Xinyan also bowed to Shen Shumin:

"I've met Miss Shen."

Wei Xinyan dared not say more, for fear of revealing his secret.

As a result, Wei Xinyan's bow completely baffled Shen Shumin.

When I met the Crown Prince before, he was a spoiled brat, and his words and actions were very rough and unruly.

Why are you suddenly so polite today?

It feels like you've become a completely different person...

Shen Shumin turned her gaze to Marquis Ren and his wife outside the school.

Maybe it's because someone was watching...

The Marquis stepped forward at the opportune moment and said to Li Zhou:

"With the county examination approaching, I hope Mr. Li Zhou will give us a good talking-to!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhou solemnly saluted and bowed.

"Rest assured, my lord, I will ensure that the young master passes the county examination!"

The Marquis nodded and left with his wife.

My good child has returned to normal, and everything is moving in a positive direction!

Shen Shumin frowned as she looked at Li Zhou.

It was common knowledge throughout the capital that the heir of the Marquis of Xuanwei was ignorant and incompetent.

Moreover, there are still five days until the county examination.

This Li Zhou actually dared to shamelessly claim that he would let the crown prince pass the county examination!

Is Li Zhou here specifically to scam money?

After sitting down, Wei Xinyan took out a book and began to ask about the doubts that had accumulated over the past ten days.

"Sir, while I was looking through the essays from previous years' county examinations..."

I found an article titled "Learning and Practicing Regularly".

The opening paragraph begins with: "Learning and practicing regularly will lead to success."

The students thought this approach to the problem was unremarkable, so why did it rank first?

Upon hearing Wei Xinyan ask such a question, Li Zhu's face lit up with ecstatic joy.

Good, good, so the young master outwardly appears to be a playboy, but secretly he's been studying!

He felt that the crown prince was more secure after passing the county examination, and might even have a chance to try for the top spot!

Li Zhou devoted all his knowledge to teaching Wei Xinyan.

The two teachers used a combination of lectures and question-and-answer sessions, which not only accelerated the learning process but also helped students consolidate their knowledge.

Shen Shumin looked at the prince with disbelief, as if she were seeing Ren Jingxing for the first time.

If the young master were truly a playboy, how could he possibly answer questions so fluently with the teacher?

How could anyone study so diligently!

Could it be that the rumored image of a spoiled brat is just a facade, an act of a prince?

As the lecture progressed, Li Zhou raised more and more questions.

Wei Xinyan, on the other hand, answered fluently.

Shen Shumin could hardly believe it.

She was certain the Crown Prince hadn't cheated!

Moreover, these are random test questions, so there is absolutely no possibility of cheating!

Shen Shumin carefully recalled the rumors about the Crown Prince.

He was ignorant and incompetent, indulging in drinking, gambling, and whoring, and frequenting brothels.

No one in the entire capital had any hope for the heir apparent's success in the imperial examinations!

Some gambling dens even closed their betting on the imperial examination for the son of the Marquis of Ren, finding that they couldn't even make money!

Because no one is betting that the heir will pass the exam!

Only a few large casinos are still operating betting odds in order to attract customers.

Shen Shumin felt she needed to place a bet when she had some free time.

They studied until noon when Lady Renhou came to the school and invited Wei Xinyan and Shen Shumin to lunch together.

Shen Shumin naturally had no problem.

Even back in the manor, Shen Shumin had already developed no aversion to the Crown Prince.

Now, coupled with his performance at school, Shen Shumin felt that the young master was worthy of respect!

Endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, conceal your talents and bide your time, and possess a brilliant mind!

Wei Xinyan's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that my parents are trying to match Ren Jingxing and Shen Shumin up?

Wei Xinyan felt a renewed sense of unease and a touch of resentment.

A bittersweet smile touched her lips as she looked at the lady, a thought tugged at her heartstrings:

Mother, is this Shen Shumin really that good?

……

Inside the Hanlu Hall of the Great Wei Imperial Palace.

The moment Ren Jingxing opened his eyes, an ancient scroll floated in the air:

The Making of an Empress

[Owner: Ren Jingxing]

[Raising an Empress: Wei Xinyan, the Fourteenth Princess of the Great Wei Dynasty]

[Currently in a soul swap state, will return to normal in nine days and seven hours.]

Ren Jingxing needs to help Wei Xinyan ascend the throne of the Great Wei Dynasty. During the soul swap, Wei Xinyan's physical body slowly strengthens.

After his soul was restored, Ren Jingxing's physical body became twice as strong.

[You will receive item rewards for achieving progress milestones during the training period!]

The scroll was rolled up, and Ren Jingxing glanced at the familiar curtains. He was back again…

Ren Jingxing propped himself up and reached under the pillow.

Sure enough, there was a diary.

This body is so weak...

Upon opening the book, one is greeted by elegant regular script handwriting.

Unlike Ren Jingxing's rough recording style, Wei Xinyan's diary is meticulous, even recording most of the conversations.

As Ren Jingxing read through the diary, he realized that he seemed to have caused the princess quite a bit of trouble.

The diary vividly portrays the difficulties caused by the female official and the daily exhaustion.

Moreover, Wei Xinyan recorded almost all of his conversations with the female official.

She also instructed Ren Jingxing to follow the instructions in the diary and not to provoke the female official.

Today is the last day of etiquette instruction; once it's over, it'll be finished.

However, Wei Xinyan also expressed her gratitude to Ren Jingxing, and her gratitude far outweighed her resentment.

As a princess, she doesn't have to do backbreaking laundry every day, she's not beaten, and she can eat meat.

This was a life that Wei Xinyan could never have achieved before.

She was grateful to Ren Jingxing.

Ren Jingxing continued reading to the end:

It is unwise for a princess to bathe alone.

I hope that in the coming days I will have Pearl help me take a good bath.

No, no, I must never shower alone again!

Ren Jingxing threw the diary directly onto the bed.

Pshaw, how is that possible!

Don't worry, Princess, I will take good care of your body!

"Pearl! Help me get up!"
