C8

If Zhao Lingyi had brought up this matter, Lady Gongsun would have surely ridiculed him with sarcasm and mockery. But it was Heir Cheng who had brought up this matter. Madame Gongsun's words were choked in her throat, unable to be swallowed or spat out.

Yunqi was quite smart and understood the situation she was in. Although the Crown Prince ignored the burning on her face, she still smiled and leaned over to hold Zhao Lingyi's hand, saying affectionately, "I didn't think that little sister would also be participating in the children's test. I also happen to be going. We're also going together."

His attitude had turned 860 degrees, and his face needed a certain amount of thickness to be able to scold Ye Xiao before, but now, he had become intimate with him. Those who didn't know this would think that the two of them were real sisters.

Zhao Lingyi did not hate people like Yun Qi at all. Everyone had to live on, to survive, to be ruthless and to have a thick face. However, he did not hate people, but that did not mean he liked them. She smiled faintly and looked at him with a sharp gaze. "Can I go back to my room to rest now?"

"Since sister is tired, of course she needs to rest." Yun Qi was always dignified and handsome, she could also act like a virtuous person. Naturally, she had a different kind of charm. Out of the corner of her eyes, she noticed the crown prince and said in a soft voice, "But if little sister goes to rest, I'm afraid that no one in the crown prince will send you off."

Zhao Lingyi smiled but didn't say anything. He just looked at the crown prince.

The latter had been reborn as a mature person and wasn't a little kid, so how could she be attracted to the beauty of a little girl? It was unknown how many times a girl like Yun Qi had met him. She had lost her interest in him a long time ago. He reached out his hand and grabbed her by the collar, then pulled her away. As he walked, he said, "Why are you so tired? Send me, let's go.

Zhao Lingyi didn't expect this person to suddenly make a move. He couldn't struggle and didn't need to fiercely glare at his opponent. However, he could only be dragged out to send him off.

Yun Qi, who had once again been disregarded, stood there as his face turned red and white.

It was really a miscalculation.

In this world, no one could accurately calculate everything, not even the best Yin Master.

The Heavenly Dao was like an invisible thread attached to a human body. Even though it appeared as if the Heavenly Dao was trying its best to overpower the human world, in reality, it was still the Heavenly Dao's fate.

The trajectory of each person's fate might change, but these changes would always remain the same. Everyone had to walk towards a predetermined destiny.

Perhaps you have seen the blue sky, then you have also seen the darkness filled with dark clouds. However, in the same place, there is a completely different display.

When all things alternated, a car drove towards the unknown. In that case, was it life or death, life or change?

One night before the exam, Zhao Lingyi had a dream. This dream was neither good nor bad, and it was not scary at all. She was standing alone in the white fog. There was only one person, from the time she had this dream to the moment she woke up.

It was almost three in the morning when he came to, and sat alone in the drapes for a long time. Layers upon layers of curtains were like the slowly rolling waves. Perhaps he himself was in the sea, incomparably cold.

Now, he was faced with a chance to change himself, and that was the Imperial examinations. In his previous life, he did not have the ability to read and write. He only had a beautiful face and was put into the Crown Prince's room. His days were pretty good, but he still died in the end.

In this life, he didn't want to die, so he understood that it was useless to just make a beautiful vase. Fortunately, the vase from his previous life was not made for nothing, and was well-liked by the crown prince. At that time, in order to gain favor and not decline, he had even specially read a lot of books. After all, men initially sought the beauty of women. After getting the beauty, they started to pursue the spiritual harmony, which would require them to read more books. And the books in the palace were usually the most complete.

Cheng Boyan could have given him a great opportunity, he didn't even expect him to say such words so casually.

Since the other party was a reincarnated person, why would he allow a demoness like her to participate in the Imperial Examinations? Was he not afraid of bringing chaos upon himself? Or did he think that he didn't know how to write?

Zhao Lingyi licked his lips. In any case, he didn't have many choices in the first place. If he walked down this path then he wouldn't know, but if he didn't, how would he know?

He didn't have a choice anyway.

When she woke up, it was still early in the morning, but it was never too early for her to wake up. When she saw where her young mistress was sitting, she was surprised. She quickly opened the curtain and asked, "When did you wake up?"

Zhao Lingyi didn't answer because he was worried that the other person would be worried. Instead, he went down to the ground and slowly revealed a smile, "If you don't give me some makeup, I'll take the Imperial Examinations. I'll make it a joke later."

The best thing about her was that she could easily be changed. She hurriedly went out to fetch water, then came back to wash her face and eat breakfast.

These breakfasts were all cooked by the public kitchen. Cheng Boyan wanted Zhao Linyi to take the exam, so he wasn't afraid of their tricks. Since today was the day of the exam, it was exceptionally good.

He had long prepared a horse carriage for the two misses in the mansion. Gongsun Yunqi left a bit earlier in the morning and Zhao Lingyi left with only him.

The other party's early departure was not unexpected. Perhaps he had taught some useful person to go? On the other hand, he didn't know many people at the moment, so he was able to get there on time. He didn't pray that he would meet anyone and end up being free.

There was no servant girl to follow in this exam, so Feather couldn't follow. She felt even more uneasy. She looked at her young miss with a pitiful expression and asked worriedly, "Miss, can you pass the exam?"

As the saying goes, "everything is good or bad", only books are good. In this dynasty where people ate as long as they were willing to work and dressed warmly, they hoped to be able to study properly and become a cultured and useful person. This also meant that many people were studying, whether they were men or women. Even though it was just an ordinary child's test, and if one were to look back, there were still many other tests. Even so, right now, it was still very difficult.

Fei Yan knew her Miss, and had never read any books since she was young. She really didn't want to take the Imperial Examinations for no reason, as long as she didn't get too low and call others for a joke, her Miss would feel uncomfortable.

He used a voice that was neither too high nor too low, but was just loud enough for the other party to hear him. He said slowly, "Rest assured, Your Highness did not suddenly ask me to participate in the Imperial Examinations all of a sudden. He had already taught me how to read and write."

If he were to suddenly learn how to read, he would definitely arouse Gongsun's suspicions. Thus, he might as well use the mouths of others to let her know where he learned how to read from, sparing himself from having to be suspicious again.

After calming her down, she got into the carriage. The carriage made a loud thumping sound along the way. It sounded like someone was pounding on her heart, causing her to feel uneasy. He couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Although this carriage did look good on the outside, it definitely didn't give off any shock absorbing spring when sitting inside. Lady Gongsun had really put in a lot of effort in harming him.

Fortunately, he was not far from the exam grounds. As soon as the carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted and he jumped out.

These days, Zhao Lingyi had already nurtured her body well and paid great attention to her body. She had to stay at noon for the children's test. There was no food provided, so she prepared food and water beforehand. This child's test was still alright, as the Elementary Scholar examination required three consecutive days. He had heard from others that eating, drinking, and sleeping were all done in that narrow barbecue, leaving him with a weak body. If they were to take the entrance examination, it would take more than ten days. People would immediately faint after leaving the exam room, and quite a few would carry people out.

So the body is the capital of the revolution.

It was late in the morning, and the morning light was not dazzling. It was also very bright. The garden was covered by red walls and blue tiles, and was covered by green trees. Layers of trees made this place more and more beautiful.

There were already a lot of people standing outside the yard. Basically, they were thirteen or fourteen years old like Zhao Linyi. Moreover, they looked like a black mass of people. There should be at least a thousand of them.

It was truly worthy of being under the feet of the Son of Heaven. Even a child's test could result in such intense competition.

It was no wonder that even though a single person was willing to study, the treatment they received after becoming a scholar was different.

All previous dynasties respected the Confucianism, and only after the Emperor of Ming did the other clans that were more or less suppressed emerge. Normally, even if the sky didn't rain, there would be officials from all over the world who would hold a party and make a poem to pray for the rain. If the poem was good, it was said to attract the rain. Whether or not poetry could really attract rain, it was easy to see how important literature was to the dynasty.

While she was deep in thought, there were actually many people who were looking at her. There was no other way but to become a concubine, there was one thing that needed to be done, and that was face.

Zhao Lingyi's face was not bad at all. It was creamy, snow-white, and there was a palm-sized face with a pair of bright eyes blinking. Her eyelashes were long and slender like a small fan. This figure was thin and frail. He wore a moon-white dress embroidered with hundreds of beautiful flowers and butterflies dancing around him. He was like a fairy surrounded by butterflies and flowers.

However, no matter how beautiful she was, it wasn't the traditional kind of beauty. In other girls' words, she looked just like a fox.
