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

Wei Xinyan's face immediately turned red with embarrassment, and she began to stammer:

"Huh? Mother, why, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

Li clapped his hands and said:

"My son, I have seen Princess Xiaoqin. She is beautiful, with red lips, white teeth, and bright eyes."

Moreover, she was polite and poised, and even spoke up for her mother at the time!

If you could marry her, our entire household would be blessed!

Wei Xinyan listened as her mother, Li, praised her to her face.

She felt both awkward and inexplicably happy.

Wei Xinyan couldn't help but blink and ask:

"Then, Mother, which do you think is better, the Fourteenth Princess or Miss Shen?"

Li was stunned for a moment, and then began to make a difficult decision.

For Li, both Wei Xinyan and Shen Shumin were excellent candidates for daughter-in-law.

Shen Shumin was well-educated and reasonable from a young age, and was able to take over the management of the estate as soon as she came of age.

Now she's been assigned to be her son's study companion, and her status and abilities are impeccable.

But the Fourteenth Princess is a princess, not only of noble status and with a title, but also quite capable, and she is willing to speak up for her.

After thinking for a moment, Li nodded and said:

"If you can truly pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official, then it would naturally be best if you could marry the princess."

If we don't pass the exam, then for someone from a humble family like ours, marrying Miss Shen would be more suitable!

Wei Xinyan nodded silently, secretly making up her mind.

She must study hard and pass the imperial examination in Ren Jingxing's stead!

Thinking of this, Wei Xinyan's face turned red again.

She wasn't trying to get Ren Jingxing to marry her; she was trying to make her mother happy!

After returning to her room, Wei Xinyan began writing in her diary.

According to Ren Jingxing, she will be going back tomorrow.

The thought of returning to her home and becoming the Filial Princess filled Wei Xinyan with both nervousness and anticipation.

Wei Xinyan opened the book, thought for a moment, and then picked up his pen to write:

The results of the county examination will be released tomorrow. Although I dare not be certain of being the top scorer, I am almost certain of passing the county examination...

Today, I heard from my mother that the Fourteenth Princess has been bestowed the title of Princess Filial Piety.

I've heard that the Fourteenth Princess is all alone and helpless in the palace, yet she's managed to stand out at the banquet; she must be exceptionally intelligent.

Wei Xinyan blushed again as she wrote these words.

As per Ren Jingxing's previous request, her diary entries had to be exactly the same as those of a normal diary.

So it looks like he's praising himself.

But in reality, Wei Xinyan was praising Ren Jingxing.

Now, her admiration for Ren Jingxing is so strong that she can't help but express it in writing, wanting to show it to him.

As Wei Xinyan finished writing, she recalled her mother Li's words.

So she picked up her pen and added another sentence:

I will definitely pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi!

Ren Jingxing probably saw these words as nothing more than an encouragement to himself.

But for Wei Xinyan, this was no different from a shameful confession.

Wei Xinyan patted her flushed and hot face, took a deep breath, and then fell asleep.

The next morning, Wei Xinyan slowly opened her eyes.

When she realized that the scene before her was neither Ren Jingxing's bedroom nor her own Hanlu Palace, she was shocked.

Wei Xinyan felt a pang of fear.

Where is this?

The rosewood daybed is carved with intricate patterns, and the mattress is covered with a quilt made of autumn-scented colored satin.

Is she sleeping in the bedroom of some imperial concubine?

Wei Xinyan subconsciously reached under her pillow.

When he touched a book, he immediately felt relieved.

Thank goodness, if it weren't for this diary, Wei Xinyan wouldn't even know what had happened.

She quickly opened the diary and began to read, and was so shocked by what Ren Jingxing had done in this time that she couldn't close her mouth.

First of all, the mere fact that he met with the Empress left him completely baffled.

She was just a nobody princess in the palace; how could she possibly be qualified to meet the Empress?

The following section explains how he used the Empress to put pressure on Marquis Anren.

Only then did Wei Xinyan understand that this was the origin of what Marquis Anren had said when he visited Marquis Xuanwei's residence that day.

Wei Xinyan's admiration grew even stronger.

In addition, the fact that Granny Li was beaten to death also deeply moved Wei Xinyan.

She knew that Ren Jingxing was helping her vent her anger.

Lady Li, the wife of the Marquis of Xuanwei, had already told Wei Xinyan what happened next.

The gift presented to the Empress was two salt certificates.

To everyone's surprise, the person who issued the salt tickets received a reward instead!

When she saw Ren Jingxing trying to please Madam Li, Wei Xinyan blushed.

If she were to meet Mr. Li again in the future, how would she conduct herself?

Later, Wei Xinyan noticed changes in her allowance.

One farm, one thousand shi of grain, and two thousand guan of cash!

And there was the relocation of the palace!

Upon reading this, she realized that she was not living in another concubine's palace, but in her own new palace!

Wei Xinyan felt a warm, throbbing feeling in her heart.

She could sense that the Crown Prince was helping her change her difficult situation!

Wei Xinyan held the diary to her chest, as if she could feel Ren Jingxing's warmth in doing so.

After a moment, she opened it again and continued reading:

Starting tomorrow, you can go to the palace school to study. Remember to be assertive and don't let others bully you.

Wei Xinyan pursed her lips.

She could only do her best in this regard, but she would definitely do her best to help the prince pass the imperial examination!

After digesting all the content, Wei Xinyan stuffed the book under her pillow.

"Pearl!"

"They're here!"

A moment later, Zhu'er arrived at the bedroom with four maids to greet the princess and help her get out of bed.

Wei Xinyan had already learned about the origins of these four maids from Ren Jingxing's diary.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but admire Ren Jingxing once again.

She was alone in the palace, and she could not only help herself and Zhu'er, but also help the Marquis's mansion!

How could someone like that be a good-for-nothing playboy?!

"Greetings, Princess!"

The four maids bowed in unison, their hearts filled with unease.

They had heard of this Fourteenth Princess.

He was capricious and had a penchant for beating maids; he also slapped people's faces!

None of the maids who offended her fared well. It's said she even forced them to bark like dogs!

Wei Xinyan smiled and nodded, then slowly said:

"Get up, all of you. Pearl and I are like sisters. Listen to her and don't stand on ceremony."

"Yes!" all the maids replied in unison.

After getting up, Wei Xinyan gave some more instructions.

After spending time together, the maids exchanged glances.

They suddenly realized that this filial princess wasn't so scary after all.

"Princess, your meal is here!"

Xiao Fuzi smiled like a chrysanthemum as she carried the lunchbox into the hall.

As a junior eunuch in the Imperial Kitchen, he naturally knew about what happened at the Empress's birthday banquet.

He felt a surge of pride as he helped Wei Xinyan sell salt coupons!

At the same time, his admiration for Wei Xinyan grew even stronger.

As expected of the Fourteenth Princess, she actually managed to get a title for herself using two unwanted salt coupons!

Wei Xinyan smiled as she took the lunchbox and opened it.

Today's breakfast was worlds apart from the usual one!

Stir-fried mutton, stir-fried pork with yellow vegetables, steamed pig's trotters and tripe, and pan-fried goose with minced meat sauce!

In addition, there is a serving of fragrant rice and a large bowl of tender chicken soup!

As the aroma wafted out, Wei Xinyan's stomach couldn't help but rumble.
