Chapter 118 – Her Most Awaited Entrance Examination

Ye Zhen entered the halls of the medical center. First, she went to her designated place and acquired a palm-sized card. It was brandished with six words, each of which had a square below it. It was where the teachers would write scores based on her performance.

At least three A’s of the six subjects must be earned to ensure entrance in the Women’s College, Ye Zhen kept this in her mind. Sooner or later, this card would be filled.

Everywhere Ye Zhen went, she attracted a lot of attention, which was even more exaggerated than when she was in her previous body as the w.a.n.g Fei. She was much younger back then, only 12 years old when she first entered the proud halls of the Women’s College.

That time, she still didn’t grow in all aspects unlike her current appearance in the body of her twin sister Lu Yaoyao. Her elegance surprised everyone’s eyes.

Many people inquired about her family background and learned that she was the object of a bet recently instigated by the Princess Liu Hua. Her beauty shone among the many, but if one looked at her closely, her eyes could be seen bearing a hint of contempt.

In truth, there were not many people who recognize her resemblance to the late w.a.n.g Fei. When she was still alive in her original body, she returned to the Women’s College after marrying Mo Rongzhan. However, things then became different.

She learned in isolation, most of the time, the teachers taught her separately from others and she often had cla.s.smates. Xu Huiru knew her because they had been friends for a long time. Later on, Xu Huiru didn’t like to be outs.h.i.+ned by her light and immediately stopped communicating with her.

Ye Zhen came to a hall where a dozen girls of her age were waiting. When they saw her, their eyes flashed with astonishment.

She went to the last place and waited. She decided to take the etiquette and archery examinations first, the two subjects she was most sure of pa.s.sing.

“What’s your name?” A girl standing next to Ye Zhen asked quietly, “You look great.”

Ye Zhen looked at the girl with low eyes. The other party was slightly fat, with a round adorable face.

“My name is Lu Yao Yao, and you?” She asked just like other girls, with innocent curiosity on her face.

“My name is Sun Wen.” Sun Wen whispered, “Five people have just taken the exam, but they all left crying.”

Ye Zhen listened to Sun Wen’s tone of nervousness and fear. She then soothed her with a smile. “Don’t be nervous, we will get through this.”

Sun Wen nodded vigorously, “My best skill is arithmetic, and my other skills are not so good. What about you?”

“I’m not very good at anything.” Ye Zhen answered with a shy smile.

“Don’t be afraid!” Sun Wen took Ye Zhen’s hand. “You look so good, you will definitely pa.s.s!”

In an instant, Ye Zhen lost her smile. Does being good-looking has anything to do with pa.s.sing the exam?

Sun Wen covered her mouth and snickered, “I am naturally fond of good-looking people. If I am a teacher, I would definitely give you an A!”

What a straightforward girl! Ye Zhen smiled and nodded humbly, “Thank you very much.”

When the people in front of them heard what they were talking about, they looked back at Sun Wen specifically with severe disgust. “Ugly people make more mischief.”

Sun Wen blushed and glared angrily at the person in front of her. “What’s the matter with you?”

Ye Zhen patted her on the shoulder, “It’s our turn soon, don’t dispute with her.” If you quarrel with people here, then don’t think about pa.s.sing the etiquette exam.

“Mmm!” Sun Wen reluctantly nodded, and she also knew it was not suitable to quarrel here.

Soon it was their turn, and the woman standing in front of Sun Wen advanced into the hall. Before long, she came out with a smile.

It seemed to be a good result.

Sun Wen turned back to Ye Zhen and said, “I’ll wait for you outside for a while, and we’ll go to take other tests together.”

Ye Zhen nodded her head.

Sun Wen did not do very well in the etiquette examination. She only got a C, but her face did not look unhappy. She just blinked with Ye Zhen and went outside to wait for her.

Ye Zhen took a deep breath, lifted her foot and went in.

There were three college teachers in the hall. When Ye Zhen walked in, they all gave her a surprised look.

Ye Zhen had never seen the three teachers before, probably belonging to different schools. She knelt down with her head down and gave them a student salute.

This exam was mainly about etiquette. Don’t look back when you walk, and don’t lift your lips when you speak. Don’t move your knees when sitting or shake your skirt when standing.

None of this was a problem for Ye Zhen. She was born from a n.o.ble family and could execute etiquettes well.

However, she couldn’t do too well, which was not in line with Lu Yao Yao’s image. So, she made some deliberate mistakes in several moves, and finally she got a B grade, which was quite good.

When Ye Zhen came out, he saw Sun Wen waiting for her outside.

“Yao Yao, which subject are you going to take next?” When Sun Wen saw Ye Zhen smiling, she immediately came over and asked.

“I want to take the riding and shooting exams next.” Ye Zhen said.

Looking at Ye Zhen’s delicate appearance, Sun Wen thought she was the least good at these two subjects and said, “Don’t be afraid when you ride a horse. The more you are afraid of it, the more disobedient it will become!”

Despite this, Ye Zhen just smiled from ear to ear and nodded, “Thank you for reminding me. Are you good at riding?”

“I used to live in a Border Town. I grew up riding on horseback when I was a child!Riding a horse is nothing to me.” Sun Wen beamed.

As they spoke, they came to the race course. Ye Zhen was surprised to find that the people here were not good. Even Princess Liu Hua and Xu Huiru were around.

“There is a hunting ground. It is said that the Marquis Tang accompanied the little prince to hunt today and all those people came here.” Sun Wen pointed to the other side of the race course. A little far away from them, Ye Zhen vaguely saw figures of guards.

As for Tang Zhen, she still hadn’t seen him. Anyway, Ye Zhen was not interested in seeing him.

Beyond her notice, the Princess Liu Hua found her and came up to ask sarcastically, “Lu Yaoyao, how many A’s have you got?”

Ye Zhen answered honestly, “None, but I will have soon”

“Will you?” Princess Liu Hua hissed, “Then we shall wait and see!”

“Alright!” Ye Zhen smiled and handed the palm-sized card to the examiner who invigilated the race course.

“Go and pick your horse.” Ye Zhen’s did so without the examiner not looking up at her.

Ye Zhen recognized the examiner, who had taught her equestrian before. However, she did not say anything but silently took the whip and picked a white horse.

Princess Liu Hua gazed at her scornfully from a distance. Beside her, Xu Huiru couldn’t help but stare at Ye Zhen in wonder. Their eyes followed her every move, Ye Zhen neatly turned over and mounted the horse.

The requirements to pa.s.s the exam was very simple. First, run for a lap, then go through five barriers—a piece of cake for Ye Zhen.

She drove the horse and ran slowly then faster and faster. The sunlight fell on her, highlighting her jade-like skin and making people think that she was s.h.i.+ning like brilliance.

The teacher holding Ye Zhen’s exam card squinted at her slightly and pinched the card tightly with her fingers.

Ye Zhen has already completed a fast lap. She loosens one hand, stands up slightly, and drove the horse over the first fence.

“Lingzhi, is that Yao Yao?” In the distant hunting ground, Tang Zhen looked at the race course with burning eyes.

Reigns in his hand, Lu Lingzhi glanced at him. “Where? I can’t really see.”

Fronting them, a shrill small voice suddenly intervened. “That woman on horseback, this little prince remembers her! She was the one who saved me last time!” Mo Rongyi, who was riding on the horse, cried, “It turns out that she is in the college today. Let’s go and have a look! Please! Please!”

The beautiful woman, with her gown fluttering in the wind was comparable to a magnificent flying dragon.

This was the only concrete idea in Tang Zhen’s mind at this moment.
