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

In the restaurant next door, the Seventh Prince's hand had already reached under Liu Ruyin's skirt.

Liu Ruyin nestled beside the Seventh Prince, her nose and eyes trembling.

"Oh, so someone actually wants to marry Miss Liu."

If Ren Jingxing fails the county examination, that would be a real problem.

After the inspection, Wei Xinyan entered the examination room.

Fortunately, her spot was in a corner away from the toilet.

This allows her to confidently unleash her full potential.

Wei Xinyan put down the bundle and took out a brush and ink.

After a short wait, a click sounded, and the examination room was locked.

"Everyone, answer calmly. No whispering or talking!"

The officials carried the exam questions while surveying the surrounding area.

Wei Xinyan glanced at it:

The water plants grow unevenly, flowing to the left and right.

Wei Xinyan blinked, her brows furrowing slightly.

This title comes from the poem "Guan Ju" in the Book of Songs.

This question is very simple, but precisely because it is too simple, it is difficult to answer.

Since everyone knows how to write, to win, you have to compete on who writes the most outstandingly.

After a moment of contemplation, Wei Xinyan had a sudden inspiration.

"Guanju" is a poem in the Book of Songs about courtship between men and women.

Wei Xinyan realized that it was the Empress's birthday recently.

So, how about she directly uses it to praise the relationship between the Empress and His Majesty?

After all, the matter of the Empress forcing Marquis Anren to withdraw from the private salt trade was causing quite a stir in the capital.

The people of the capital mostly praised the Empress for her selflessness.

Amidst the surrounding noise and gasps, Wei Xinyan picked up her pen and began to write on the draft paper…

Outside the examination hall, Ren Hou and his teacher Li Zhou were still being pointed at and gossiped about.

Ren Bing looked around at the people, but there was nothing he could do.

"Mr. Li Zhou, aren't you angry when they say that about you?"

Li Zhou's face remained calm and composed, revealing a mysterious smile:

"Lord Ren, the less optimistic people are about the heir apparent, the higher the odds will be, and the greater the impact after he passes the exam!"

The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!

Ren Bing was stunned for a moment:

"Odds?"

"Yes, I bet all my savings of fifty taels of silver, with odds of one to ten!"

I urged Ren Hou to place a bet as soon as possible, otherwise the betting market would close soon!

……

[Currently in a soul swap state, with one day and five hours remaining before returning to normal.]

Ren Jingxing glanced at the Empress's Development Record when he had a moment, and then led Zhu'er toward the Imperial Kitchen.

Counting the days, the county exam results will be released tomorrow. I wonder how Wei Xinyan did.

Zhu'er's little hand was held by Ren Jingxing, who would occasionally pinch and rub her fingers.

Pearl blushed and asked:

"Princess, what did you have Xiao Fuzi buy outside? Why can only the Imperial Kitchen purchase it?"

You'll find out then.

Ren Jingxing went to great lengths to come up with a gift for the Empress.

The Fourteenth Princess had no power or influence in the palace, and no one could help her.

Moreover, I had no money in my pocket, so I couldn't ask someone to buy me a nice gift.

Moreover, Ren Jingxing has never made a significant breakthrough in his status, and even the Goddess Record does not offer any item rewards.

In this situation, the goal was to attract the emperor's attention on the empress's birthday.

The only thing we can do is be creative with the gifts!

After a while, Xiao Fuzi appeared sneakily ahead, and I jogged towards Ren Jingxing.

"Fourteenth Princess, this is really hard to find."

Although the goods were basically free, they were so rare that no salt merchant would keep them.

Ren Jingxing took the red paper handed to him by Xiao Fuzi, opened it, and found two salt coupons wrapped inside!

The little maid, Zhu'er, had never seen salt coupons before.

"Princess, what is this?"

Ren Jingxing put away the salt coupons and gave Xiao Fuzi a small piece of silver as a reward.

This piece of silver was part of Wei Xinyan's accumulated wealth.

Xiao Fuzi is now considered a reliable connection for him in the palace.

Although it hurts a little, I still have to give a tip.

As a result, Xiao Fuzi didn't even bother to accept it; she simply knelt on the ground.

"This humble servant dares not accept the princess's reward."

The princess had a hard time living in the palace, and she even rescued Xiao Fuzi from Granny Li's clutches.

Moreover, salt coupons didn't cost any money; they were just hard to find.

"The princess's generous reward is truly too much for Little Fuzi!"

Ren Jingxing didn't put it away, but forcibly stuffed it into Xiao Fuzi's hand.

"Just take it when I tell you to."

If you really want to repay me, next time you bring me food, just scoop out two extra spoonfuls of meat!

Xiao Fuzi accepted the silver coins, deeply moved.

"Princess, rest assured, Xiao Fuzi will serve you with utmost loyalty, even unto death!"

"Get up, and remember what you said today." Ren Jingxing patted Xiao Fuzi's head, then turned and left.

The maid, Zhu'er, still didn't understand.

Salt coupons are now invalid, so what's the point of having them?

"Princess, if the gift presented at the Queen's birthday celebration is too meager, you might be punished..."

"Stingy? No way."

Your Majesty is the ruler of the country, and the Empress is the mother of the country.

What expensive gift haven't you seen?

Their favorite things must be meaningful!

Salt coupons were a symbol of the emperor's victory over his court officials, and also one of the reasons for the reconciliation of the empress and the emperor's relationship.

Moreover, when the national treasury is full in the future, salt certificates will also be one of the proofs of His Majesty's merits.

So both His Majesty and the Empress must really like this!

And most importantly, the Queen is currently on her side!

The next morning, Ren Jingxing took Zhu'er to Changqiu Palace.

As a princess invited by the Empress, Ren Jingxing could bring a maid to serve her at any time.

However, Zhu'er was not allowed to enter the palace to offer congratulations or take her seat.

The two had changed into elegant and simple formal attire.

Along the way, the little maid Zhu'er couldn't help but remind her princess:

"Princess, many female officials will come to correct your posture."

You absolutely mustn't hit anyone then!

Pearl has developed a considerable psychological trauma from the princess's penchant for slapping people in the face.

Hitting someone on the Empress's birthday could really kill you!

Ren Jingxing naturally nodded in agreement.

The Empress's birthday is no small matter, and everyone present is either rich or noble, so it's really not appropriate to hit anyone.

And his mother will probably attend the meeting too.

It would be bad to make a bad impression if you suddenly start hitting someone.

Besides, if you really want to hit someone, you can always wait until the banquet is over!

The Empress's birthday celebrations were marked by extremely elaborate rituals.

The process, from the initial roll call to lining up, observing the ceremony, and bowing, was incredibly complex.

The process took nearly two hours, and some of the concubines or princesses were so exhausted that they looked pale.

However, after being continuously nourished by the Empress's Training Manual, Wei Xinyan's physique became much stronger.

Although she was still covered in sweat, she wasn't trembling with exhaustion like the other weaker princesses.

Just then, the climax of the birthday celebration finally began!

A eunuch walked to the palace gate and loudly proclaimed:

"All concubines, princesses, and ladies of noble birth, come to pay homage and present your gifts—"

The positions of Ren Jingxing's team were all carefully planned.

Arranged from front to back according to rank, Ren Jingxing naturally stayed in the last column.

"Consort Hua presents a fiery red coral tree from the East Sea!"

"Consort Yun presents a pair of luminous pearls!"

"Consort De presents..."

Listening to the congratulatory gifts from the noble concubines in front.

The princesses and concubines in the back row, who were not favored, couldn't help but gossip among themselves.

Female officials from the Imperial Wardrobe Bureau were on patrol. They dared not say much, but overall, they could only sigh at the wealth and power of the wealthy.

As the queue moved forward, they got closer and closer to Wei Xinyan.

"Princess Wei Xinyan, the Fourteenth Princess, enters the palace to offer her congratulatory gifts!"
