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

The academy assessment is actually the same as the imperial examination, including class tests, eight-legged essays, trial poems, policy essays, etc.

If one can pass the academy examination, there is a high probability that one will be on the list when taking the imperial examination.

Cheng Jiuyuan took part in the assessment, and everyone was watching silently. She was the first female student to take the assessment since the reopening of the girls' school. This was related to whether the girls' school was necessary and whether it was correct for girls to learn the six arts.

Not only did the students in the academy set up gambling games based on this, but many gambling houses also followed suit.

As night falls, the stars are sparse, the moon is dim, and broken clouds are passing by.

Charcoal was burning in the room and the cold wind was kept out of the door.

Cheng Jiuyuan sat opposite his master, with only two cups of green tea on the table.

"Master, rest assured. I will do my best tomorrow."

"I'm not worried about that. With your knowledge, you will pass the imperial examination. I just want to ask you about your future plans after leaving the academy."

"Master, it's the end of the year, and Wei Tiankuang should be returning to Beijing. Success or failure depends on this one move."

"What happens after the Wei family collapses?"

Cheng Jiuyuan really wanted to speak up. Even if the Wei family fell, there was still the Chu Ze faction.

Jiang Miaoduan continued: "What happens after revenge?"

Cheng Jiuyuan hasn't thought about this question carefully yet.

Since her rebirth, revenge has been her top priority.

As for revenge...

Could it be that she gets married, has children, and is trapped in a small world?

She felt suffocated just thinking about it.

Her two masters, one was free and easy in the martial arts world, and the other worked for the welfare of women in the court. She really approved of such a life. Only in this way could her life be worthwhile.

"You should think about this carefully."

"I will think about it carefully, but now I have to pass the academy assessment first, and then I can bring down the Wei family."

Jiang Miaoduan nodded and picked up the tea: "I will use tea instead of wine. I wish you a successful start tomorrow."

Cheng Jiuyuan raised his glass and clinked it with hers: "I will never let down your teachings over the years, Master."

"It's getting late. You should go back and rest early so that you can be energetic tomorrow."

Cheng Jiuyuan stood up and said, "I will go back first."

When I opened the door, the cold wind outside made the snowflakes dance all over the place. The snow had just started falling and there was no snow on the ground yet.

Jiang Miaoduan stepped forward to help Cheng Jiuyuan put on the hood of her cloak, "Don't get cold, go back quickly."

"Master, please go in quickly. Don't let the wind blow you."

After saying this, Cheng Jiuyuan left the room and quickly closed the door.

There was also a charcoal fire burning in the school dormitory, and the room was as warm as spring.

Listening to the howling of the cold wind outside the window, Zhu Jin and a few others lay on the bed, eating snacks and reading storybooks, occasionally sticking their heads out to discuss the characters in the storybooks. It was a leisurely and warm feeling.

Cheng Jiuyuan returned to the dormitory, opened the door, and the cold wind blew in. Zhu Jin and the others wrapped themselves tightly in their quilts.

"Sister Cheng, why are there snowflakes on you?"

"Well, it's snowing."

"Wow, it's the first snow!" Zhu Jin threw off the quilt, put on his cloak, and pushed the door open to go out.

Yan Yu looked at Cheng Jiuyuan and said, "Burning charcoal all day long can make your mouth dry. I made you some pear soup. It's on the table. Drink it while it's hot."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at the table and saw the pear soup simmering over low heat.

She walked over, turned off the fire, opened the lid of the earthenware jar, and hot steam hit her face.

Cheng Jiuyuan felt warm in her heart. On this cold night, it was such a blessing to have the snow pear soup made by Sister Yu and the company of a few good friends.

"Thank you, Sister Yu."

"What are you thanking me for? Just drink and wash up and go to bed. You still have to take the academy exam tomorrow, so you need to get enough rest."

Cheng Jiuyuan finished drinking the pear soup, quickly washed up, changed into pajamas and lay down on the bed.

Zhu Jin opened the door and came in, breathing out hot air.

"It's so cold! My ears are almost frozen off. With such heavy snow, it will definitely accumulate tomorrow."

"If snow accumulates, Sister Cheng must be careful when she tests you on horseback riding and archery," Chu Wan warned.

"It's okay, I'll be careful."

The room soon became quiet. In order not to disturb Cheng Jiuyuan's rest, the few people stopped reading books and storybooks and went to bed early.

The next morning, as soon as the door was opened, everyone shuddered.

The cold wind is biting, yet it also has a hint of clear and ethereal beauty.

The entire school building was covered with ice and snow, and the sky was gray and gloomy. It was hard to tell that it was morning, but rather that it seemed as if it was almost dark.

"I really don't want to go out in this weather."

"Let's go, it will be late."

Several girls crowded together and walked out, the snow under their feet making a crunching sound.

"I'll go there first."

"Sister Cheng, you can do it!"

"Be careful, especially when shooting from a horse."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded, turned and left.

There were not many people taking the test, only about twenty.

Cheng Jiuyuan, a woman, stood out among the crowd. She looked straight ahead and sat upright.

After more than an hour of examination, she did not move at all.

In the morning, there are class tests and policy essays, and in the afternoon, there are horse riding and archery tests.

Fortunately, the snow stopped in the afternoon and the snow on the school ground had been cleared.

The training ground was surrounded by students who came to watch the fun.

"Cheng Jiuyuan, you must pass this! I'm going to pledge all my private money to you!"

"Cheng Jiuyuan, you can do it! We women can do it!"

"Sister Cheng!"

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded towards the female students, which immediately caused cheers.

Su Nan, who was standing next to Cheng Jiuyuan, smiled and said, "You are actually more popular than me."

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and said nothing.

"Cheng Jiuyuan, you have indeed broken many people's prejudices against women. Don't be nervous, just show your usual strength."

Cheng Jiuyuan turned her head and saw the sincerity in Su Nan's eyes. She smiled and nodded.

In the archery test, people on both sides kept pulling the rope, and the target moved quickly and irregularly.

This not only tests the accuracy of archery, but also tests the archer's predictive ability.

The students came forward one by one, some retreated dejectedly, and some ran towards the onlookers excitedly.

There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd.

When it was Cheng Jiuyuan's turn to perform, the scene fell silent.

For a moving target, hitting eight out of ten targets is considered passing the test, which is no less difficult than taking the exam for martial arts champion.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at the ten moving targets for a while, and then he moved.

"What is she doing?"

"Three arrows fired at once?"

“This is a moving target!”

“Would that be too arrogant?”

"She is Cheng Jiuyuan. I don't think anything that happened is strange."

After a burst of exclamations, the training ground became quiet again.

"Swish, swish, swish!" Three arrows flew into the air.

Then there was a deafening cheer and exclamation on the parade ground.

Without waiting for everyone to react, Cheng Jiuyuan loaded three more arrows into the bow.

Finally, four arrows were fired at once.

In the blink of an eye, all ten of Cheng Jiuyuan's arrows hit the bull's eye, and the students cheered and ran towards Cheng Jiuyuan.

"Sister Cheng, you are awesome!"

Amid cheers, Su Nan and others walked over.

"Cheng Jiuyuan, you are worthy of being like this. You always impress people."

The people around him also bowed and said, "We are convinced."

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled modestly: "Just good luck."

"You are too modest. We can still tell whether it is luck or strength..."

Looking at Cheng Jiuyuan who was surrounded by students, the teachers standing in the distance also sighed.

"Master Jiang, your disciple is incredible!"

"The teachers in our academy can't compare to her, right?"

"This girl is definitely not a piece of cake."

"The Prime Minister has a good daughter."

Jiang Miaoduan looked satisfied and nodded slightly.

Shangguan Jing had some doubts between her brows. "I remember that you, Master Jiang, are not good at martial arts, and your archery skills are not very good. Who did Cheng Jiuyuan learn from? It will take several years to master such archery skills. Even Wei Pianpian, who comes from a family of military generals, is not as good as her."

"This child is quick-witted and hardworking. I am very pleased to have such a disciple." Jiang Miaoduan did not directly answer Shangguan Jing's words.

Zhu Zhili came back to his senses from his excitement. When he heard this, he said loudly: "If this was my disciple, I would be more than just happy. I would die without regrets!"

When he saw his daughter who was smiling foolishly at Cheng Jiuyuan, Zhu Zhili felt that comparing himself with others was really frustrating.

After the students had finished celebrating, the instructor stepped forward and said loudly, "The next step is the riding test. Don't waste time. Let's go now while the snow has stopped."
