The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

After three days of examination, there are another three days of rest.

The students left the academy and returned home, while the teacher of the academy took advantage of these two days to compile all the results of the exam.

The once bustling academy suddenly became quiet as the students left.

Inside the room, several teachers were concentrating on reading the essays written by their students, sometimes looking amazed, sometimes looking unhappy.

When we see an excellent article or one that is particularly unique, we will pass it around.

And so it went on from dawn to dusk.

The room was dimly lit. Oil lamps were lit on the table, with a faint wisp of smoke rising from the flames.

A teacher put down his pen and rubbed his shoulders.

"Let's stop here for today, and continue with the rest tomorrow."

The teachers put down their pens one after another, stood up and stretched their bodies.

"My old waist can't take it after sitting for so long."

"My eyes are blurry."

The teachers walked out while talking. The headmaster, who walked last, locked the door and confirmed it several times before leaving.

Not long after, a figure came back stealthily.

She looked around, took out the key, opened the door, and quickly slipped into the house.

He easily found the articles that had not been reviewed and quickly searched through them.

After finding the target, he took out a few articles from his sleeve pocket and replaced them.

Then he left the room quickly without anyone noticing.

Two days later, when seeing the ranking of the final exam, although the girls' school was generally good and the teaching content of the girls' school would be the same as that of the boys' school in the future, Jiang Miaoduan still frowned.

Wei Pianpian actually ranked before her disciple.

It's not that she is conceited. She knows very well that the apprentice she taught is no less talented in writing than this year's top scholar Pei Xuan.

Is Wei Pianpian more powerful than Pei Xuan?

When marking the papers, the names of the candidates are sealed and all the teachers mark the papers together, so there is no possibility of misjudgment.

She found the article written by Cheng Jiuyuan, read it carefully, and discovered the problem.

There are several inappropriate words used in several articles. This kind of mistake should not be made. Could it be a typo?

Yan Yu's essay was quite good, but she was a little weak in chariot driving and archery, so Wei Pianpian ranked first in the women's exam this time.

Shangguan Jing came in, smiling triumphantly.

A teacher joked: "Master Shangguan, oh, no, I think we should call him Master Shangguan."

"No, no, it's all because of the students' efforts."

Shangguan Jing looked at Jiang Miaoduan and said, "I thought it was your disciple who won the first prize this time. I didn't expect that."

Jiang Miaoduan didn't say much. If she couldn't be the head of the hall, then so be it. At least the content of the girls' school was determined, and it would be fine for her to be a teacher.

On the same day, the list of students' overall rankings was sent back to the capital.

During the morning court session, Emperor Zhaolie personally decided that the content of what girls learn in schools should be the same as that of boys.

Although it did not specify that women could take part in the imperial examinations, it did say that the academy would have an assessment, and if one could pass the assessment after three years, one could obtain the Baichuan Academy token.

This token represents the recognition of Dongling’s highest institution of learning and represents supreme honor.

Of course, if you are confident, you can also participate in the assessment within the three-year deadline.

Those who excel can enter the court and serve as officials, just like the women in previous schools.

Emperor Zhaolie praised the top winner of the female examination in public. Wei Xiangming raised her chin, looking very proud.

Pei Xuan, who had only returned to work after one month, looked puzzled.

His cousin actually lost to someone else? Was she hiding her strength?

……

The next day, Zhu Jin had to return to the academy and made an appointment with a few young ladies to go shopping.

Because Pei Xuan was coming back from the academy, Yan Yu also came back with him to stay for a few days.

Tired of shopping, the four of them headed straight for Ruyi Tower, where they happened to run into Pei Xuan who was about to leave after talking with his colleagues.

"Cousin." Cheng Jiuyuan called out to him.

Pei Xuan greeted his colleagues with a smile, then turned and walked towards them.

"Come for lunch?" Pei Xuan asked softly.

"Yeah, did my cousin use it?"

"I have only had some snacks, but not yet my meal."

"Let's go together then."

The folk customs of Dongling are relatively open-minded. On ordinary days, scholars and elegant people compete in poetry without distinction between men and women. Such small gatherings of friends are also common. What's more, it is broad daylight now, and they are not alone, so it doesn't matter much.

Besides, everyone knew about Pei Xuan and Yan Yu's affair.

Wei Pianpian took her maid to visit Chu Yu, and was buying some things on the street to bring back to the academy.

She lowered her head and thought about Chu Yu's strange illness. It had been almost three months, and Chu Yu's strange illness had not yet been cured.

This strange disease came very unexpectedly, she had never heard of such a disease.

She lowered her head and thought about something, looking a little unhappy. The maid said softly, "Miss, you got first place in the exam this time, why are you still unhappy?"

"In the previous exams, the second young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion stole the show. This time, the young lady can finally hold her head high."

Wei Pianpian curled her lips, but before she could speak, the girl looked over and said, "You really can't talk about people in broad daylight. Isn't that Miss Cheng and the others?"

Wei Pianpian looked up and saw Cheng Jiuyuan and others walking towards the second floor in Ruyi Tower.

Her eyes fell on Pei Xuan, who was walking at the end, and suddenly the corners of her mouth curled up.

"Come closer and listen." Wei Pianpian looked at the girl.

The girl came closer and Wei Pianpian whispered something to her.

After hearing this, the girl looked shocked, and nodded slowly under Wei Pianpian's slightly cold gaze.

In the private room, delicious food was served, and Cheng Jiuyuan and his friends ate and chatted.

Pei Xuan suddenly asked, "Cousin, since you want to help Madam Ling'an take the position of hall leader, why do you hide your strength?"

"I haven't concealed my strength. Perhaps Wei Pianpian's literary talent is indeed better than mine."

Zhu Jin said indifferently: "She wins, so what? Didn't Sister Cheng always win in the previous quizzes? We can just win back next time."

Chu Wan raised her wine glass and said, "That's right, let's not talk about this boring topic. Come, let's drink. I have been thinking about Luo Fuchun from Ruyi Tower for a long time."

At this time, a waiter from Ruyilou hurriedly found the shopkeeper.

He handed over a few banknotes and a packet of medicine powder, and whispered, "Boss, this was given to me just now. Someone asked me to put this medicine into the wine of Miss Cheng Er and the others."

The shopkeeper stood up from his chair.

"Who did you drug? Second Miss Cheng?"

The second Miss Cheng is their future mistress. Even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to do it.

"We at Ruyi Tower won't do such things! Send someone to inform the boss."

"Yes."

……

Ministry of official affairs

Chi Zhang hurried in and reported, "Your Highness, Miss Cheng and Princess Yongle are dining at Ruyi Tower. Someone wants to bribe the waiter to drug Miss Cheng and the others."

Chu Heng immediately stood up and walked out.

"Find out who's behind this!"

"Should we tell Miss Cheng Er?"

"Don't disturb her interest yet, just deal with the matter."

"Yes."
