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

[Eight hours until the soul swap occurs]

The inner palace of the Great Wei Dynasty, inside the Hanzhang Hall.

Wei Xinyan was packing her things, planning to go to the palace school to study.

The little maid, Zhu'er, was helping the princess from the side.

She discovered that her princess had reverted to her original form in the past few days.

She became as gentle and submissive as before.

And he's become even more enthusiastic about learning than before!

Sometimes, after returning from the palace school, Wei Xinyan would study by lamplight until late at night.

And her princess stopped teasing her.

Strangely enough, for some reason, the little maid Zhu'er quite enjoyed being teased by the princess.

Sometimes, when things are urgent and pressing, the princess is not worried. Instead, she will put her arm around her waist and say some witty things.

Princesses of that era always gave people a sense of security.

Pearl put the book into her bag, then asked:

"Princess, do the princesses and princes in the palace school still bully you?"

"Why don't we talk to the teacher? I see the students at the palace school are quite afraid of their teachers."

Wei Xinyan shook her head:

"The princess and prince are afraid of the teacher because they are worried that he will tell their father."

They're bullying me, I'll just ignore them.

The purpose of the palace school is for learning, not for doing anything else.

Despite saying that, Wei Xinyan and her maid Zhu'er still felt nervous when they arrived at the palace school.

She looked through the window at the princes and princesses sitting inside and let out a deep breath.

It's fine to just ignore it.

But which of the princes and princesses in the story is easy to mess with?

A slight misstep can bring trouble upon oneself.

At this time of year, Wei Xinyan would reflect on the differences between herself and Ren Jingxing.

Although she had never liked Ren Jingxing's audacity and unconventional thinking.

However, it must be admitted that Ren Jingxing always manages to find better ways to deal with bullying.

Ren Jingxing repeatedly told her in his diary not to be a coward and not to be afraid of others' provocations and bullying.

But when they actually met, Wei Xinyan chickened out.

Because she had no mother and was not valued by her father, the emperor.

If these princes and princesses were truly angered, their mothers could probably kill them without a trace with just a flick of her finger.

Wei Xinyan squeezed her small schoolbag and walked into the Wenhua Hall.

As soon as I entered, several pairs of eyes were cast my way.

The Fourth Prince Wei Mingchen's gaze lingered for only a moment before shifting away.

In the past few days, he has been actively helping Wei Xinyan, hoping to gain Wei Xinyan's support.

This almost offended the Fifteenth Princess.

As a result, Wei Xinyan really did act like a bookworm, and when he came to the palace school, all he knew was to study every day.

Since someone at the palace school was bullying Wei Xinyan, he was no longer willing to stand up and help.

He's not a really good person!

At this moment, Princess Wei Yunshang, the fifteenth princess, walked over.

"Oh, the Fourteenth Princess is here!"

The Fourteenth Princess's insights into the Eight-Legged Essay were truly profound.

But guess what? I actually saw the original text in someone else's article yesterday.

Does our Fourteenth Princess also enjoy plagiarizing other people's work?

Wei Xinyan remained silent, after all, her understanding of the eight-legged essay came from reading other excellent examples of it.

Wei Yunshang was the fifteenth princess and the daughter of Consort Ming.

Influenced by her mother, Wei Yunshang also liked to bully Wei Xinyan in the palace school.

At first, the fourth prince would try to persuade him.

After some time, the fourth prince also chose to ignore it.

Seeing that Wei Xinyan chose to remain silent, a hint of pleasure flashed in the eyes of the Fifteenth Princess, Wei Yunshang.

Since Wei Xinyan came to the palace school, all the teachers have regarded him as a role model for all the princes and princesses.

In addition, at the instigation of her mother, Consort Ming, Wei Yunshang bullied Wei Xinyan almost every day.

"Forget it, I won't argue with you about those things."

Yesterday, another batch of Huizhou ink arrived at the palace. I noticed that the ink stick that the Fifteenth Princess had was already worn down.

Tsk tsk tsk, how pathetic.

As Wei Yunshang spoke, she took out a stick of ink and made a gesture as if she were to bestow it upon Wei Xinyan.

Wei Xinyan pursed her lips slightly and did not reach out to take it.

Because she was certain that Wei Yunshang wouldn't have such good intentions.

Sure enough, before Wei Xinyan could even reach out, Wei Yunshang "accidentally" dropped the ink stick on the ground.

"Oh dear, Sister Xinyan, why didn't you catch it?"

"But you can still use that inkstone. If it doesn't work, just keep using it!"

After saying this, Wei Yunshang let out a triumphant laugh and returned to her seat.

The broken pieces of debris were so conspicuously scattered on Wei Xinyan's skirt.

But she still chose to remain silent.

Only by remaining silent can one dignifiedly endure the humiliation from Wei Yunshang.

The other princes and princesses cast their glances or pointed and whispered, but none of them came to help.

The maid behind her, Zhu'er, was so angry that her face turned red, but she dared not show any expression.

Because in the Wenhua Hall, even showing an angry expression could bring disaster upon her princess.

However, the maid Zhu'er secretly fantasized about what would happen if the princess returned to her irritable state.

When the time comes, one slap from her will be enough to make that damn Wei Yunshang lose her bearings!

Even Wei Xinyan couldn't help but fantasize about being bullied to this extent.

Ren Jingxing will come tomorrow.

Let's see how you deal with him!

This was the first time Wei Xinyan had hoped that Ren Jingxing would do something outrageous with her.

After a brief commotion, a middle-aged official in a blue robe arrived in front of the palace school.

The entire Wenhua Hall immediately fell silent, and all the maids hid in the side hall, waiting to come out and serve their masters when get out of class was over.

The teachers at the Wenhua Hall Academy were all graduates of the Hanlin Academy.

These people were either top-ranking officials in the imperial examinations or high-ranking officials who already held important positions in the court.

It can be said that the teachers here are either high-ranking officials or will become high-ranking officials in the future.

Even the fourth prince wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

Looking at the gentleman in front of the hall, Wei Xinyan couldn't help but think of something else.

If she succeeds in the imperial examination in Ren Jingxing's place, will there be a chance for them to meet here?

Thinking of this, Wei Xinyan actually felt a faint sense of anticipation.

Today's gentleman is named Cheng Yizhi, who was the runner-up in the previous competition.

Although he had only been an official for two years, he had already become an imperial censor, standing in the last row every day at court to supervise the other officials.

Besides explaining the Four Books and profound principles to the princes and princesses, this gentleman also enjoyed telling stories.

All the princes and princesses in the palace school liked him very much.

Some princesses even subtly expressed their admiration for Cheng Yizhi.

Cheng Yizhi walked to the podium, placed the book on the desk, and without opening it, said:

"Today, I will not talk about books, but tell you about the things that have happened in the court in the past few days."

After Cheng Yizhi finished speaking, all the princes and princesses immediately straightened up.

Even the fourth prince was staring intently at him.

This was one of the few opportunities he could obtain information from the imperial court and simulate political participation.

"Recently, something has caused quite a bit of controversy in the court."

Regarding the issue of Xun Guizhuang and Huangzhuang encroaching on farmland, occupying fertile land on both sides of the river, and preventing the people from fetching water.

May I ask what the princes and princesses' opinions are?
