The scores for the horse riding and archery classes are very straightforward. Basically, students will know the results themselves after the test and there is no need for comments or explanations.

Master Yang gave Shi Wanwan and Tian Huaijue a complicated look before saying, "Some students in our class have great potential, but they just don't study hard."

"In the future, you should focus more on your studies so as not to waste your youth."

Tian Huaijue pretended not to hear these words which were obviously meant to imply him.

Master Yang added, "A student in our class has a serious imbalance in his academic performance. He got full marks in some subjects but zero marks in others."

"Go back and practice hard for the subjects you got zero points on, and try to get first place on the next test. get out of class dismissed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Huaiyu nudged Shi Wanwan with her elbow and said, "Aunt, I think Master Yang's last words were meant to imply you."

Shi Wanwan asked, "Isn't that the case?"

Tian Huaijue said seriously: "As for that, after all, you are the only one in the class who got zero points in the archery subject."

Shi Wanwan: “…”

She put her hands on her hips and said, "I did shoot the arrow after all, so I should at least give you a symbolic point or two, right?"

Tian Huaijue spread his hands: "The rules of the imperial examination and the Imperial College are that if you miss the target, you get zero points."

Only people like Shi Wanwan, who were taking the monthly exam for the first time, didn't know this.

Shi Wanwan touched her nose and said, "Okay."

After hearing what Tian Huaijue said, she didn't want to check the scores anymore.

Tian Huaijue cared even less about the score than she did and didn't want to look at it either.

So when they arrived at the dining hall, they walked straight inside, bypassing the list. But they hadn't taken a few steps when Jiang Rongrong stopped them: "What? You don't even dare to look at your own scores?"

"You knew you were cheating, and your true colors were exposed during the test. Are you too embarrassed to face others?"

Shi Wanwan thought Jiang Rongrong was mentally ill. She smiled and said, "What score I get on the test is none of your business."

"Wasn't the lesson I taught you last time enough? Or are you itching again?"

Jiang Rongrong's face darkened instantly: "You are just relying on your status as a princess to bully others!"

"You and Qingmei have the same father, but you are inferior to her in every way."

"If you are not a princess, you are nothing!"

Shi Wanwan raised her eyebrows slightly: "In the final analysis, you are just jealous of me."

Jiang Rongrong said coldly, "What are you jealous of?"

Shi Wanwan's lips curled slightly: "If you're jealous, I'll be reincarnated!"

Jiang Rongrong: “…”

She was about to say something else when Meng Yunting came over and said, "Classmate Shi Wanwan, congratulations!"

Shi Wanwan asked in confusion, "What are you congratulating me for?"

Meng Yunting replied: "Congratulations on getting tenth place in Class A despite scoring zero in archery."

"This situation has never happened since the establishment of the Imperial College."

"This means that you are number one in the school in all subjects except shooting."

After hearing this, Tian Huaijue immediately rushed to the front of the list. He domineeringly pushed aside the people in front of the list, took a glance, and shouted: "Auntie, you really are tenth!"

Shi Wanwan: “…”

To be honest, she was also surprised.

Thanks to the original owner, she didn't have to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, and she got full marks on the questions on the meaning of the classics.

As for the policy essay questions, she had learned the format at the Imperial College, and Xie Xuanzhi had taught her the techniques for solving them. The writing style was not difficult for Shi Wanwan, who had been a top test-taker in her previous life.

But she felt that this kind of question was similar to an essay, and beauty was in the eye of the beholder. It was difficult to get a high score if the answer met the examiner's aesthetic standards.

Jiang Rongrong said anxiously: "This is impossible!"

She also rushed to the list to take a look, and sure enough, she saw Shi Wanwan's name at the tenth place on the A list.

She took another look at the scores. Except for shooting, Shi Wanwan scored higher in all subjects than Shi Qingmei, who ranked first!

She thought she had seen it wrong, so she looked at it again, completely unwilling to believe this fact.

At this moment, it was like a slap in her face.

She always thought that Shi Wanwan was a loser who got into the Imperial College by cheating, and her true colors would definitely be revealed in this exam.

After the last scandal, she was too embarrassed to go back to the Imperial College to attend classes. A big part of the reason she came back with such a thick face was that she wanted to see Shi Wanwan make a fool of herself in the monthly exam.

She imagined that Shi Wanwan got a very low score in the exam and was expelled from the Imperial College, but in the end she saw the brilliant Shi Wanwan.

She murmured, "This is impossible! Shi Wanwan must have cheated!"

Tian Huaijue said with disdain: "Cheating? Are you mentally ill?"

"You're such a good cheater, why don't you get first place in every subject except shooting?"

You keep saying Shi Wanwan cheated, but you don't even look at what kind of idiot you are.

Cheating may improve your grades a little, but it will never get you the highest score.

Jiang Rongrong: “…”

She understood the logic, but she could not accept the fact that Shi Wanwan had done so well in the exam.

Tian Huaijue rolled his eyes and said, "The top ten test papers are posted. Go check to see if she cheated!"

Without him saying anything, Jiang Rongrong squeezed over to the list where the test papers were posted.

When she saw Shi Wanwan's handwriting, she was stunned at first, because Shi Wanwan's handwriting was so beautiful. It was not the small regular script with flowers, but the sharp running script, which was unique in its own way.

When she saw the content again, her face turned pale.

Because questions on the meaning of scriptures and mathematics can be considered cheating, as there are standard answers.

However, it is impossible to cheat on policy essays and poetry questions because everyone writes differently.

Even if Jiang Rongrong wanted to slander Shi Wanwan, she couldn't, because her essays and poems were different from those written by others, and they were all extremely well written.

Tian Huaijue stood beside Jiang Rongrong and said proudly, "My aunt is really amazing. Both her essays and poems are excellent!"

"She is simply the God of Literature descended to earth. How can that bastard's beauty compare to her?"

"As expected, the legitimate bloodline of the royal family is far more noble and intelligent than the bloodline of some concubine who climbed into bed with someone else!"

Jiang Rongrong was furious: "What are you so proud of? Her total score is still lower than Qingmei's!"

"And you, you didn't do as well as Qingmei!"

Tian Huaijue ranked fifth in this exam. He smiled and said, "I don't study hard normally, but I feel really good about myself for getting this ranking!"

"Unlike some people, who are said to have hired a teacher to teach them in prison, and they studied until midnight every day."

"My ranking isn't very good, but at least I'm in the top ten. What about you?"

He laughed frivolously at this point, "You got last place on the A list. Are you proud of that?"

There was no trace of blood on Jiang Rongrong's face anymore.

She only paid attention to Shi Wanwan and Shi Qingmei's scores, but didn't look at her own score.

She had been feeling upset recently because of her marriage with Lu Xingzhi. She knew she might do poorly on the exam, but she never expected it to be so bad!
