Next, Grandma Rong began to teach Jiang Xuening how to make a design for the incense. Jiang Xuening knew that no matter how bad she performed, Grandma Rong could not drive her away, so she simply performed her task seriously and made a plum blossom-shaped with the spices for the incense. Aunt Rong praised her a lot, but Jiang Xuening couldn't help but mutter in her heart, could she be a bad artist? In her last life, she was beaten by Aunt Rong a lot because of this incident.

While waiting for the cultural examination, Jiang Xuening overheard the conversation between Miss Yao and You Fangyin's sister You Yue and others. Miss Yao cried and told everyone that she and Zhang Zhe were engaged, and now Zhang Zhe She offended the emperor and had no future. Zhang Zhe's family was originally born in poverty. As a lady, she did not want to marry such a person. After hearing Miss Yao's complaints, You Yue gave Miss Yao some advice and said, "I heard that Zhang Zhe had already engaged in two marriages, but both of them were called off. In one of them, the woman died in infancy. She thought that if Miss Yao used this to make a fuss and released news to the outside world to thank Wei Ke's wife, for this reason, Even if Miss Yao breaks off the engagement, no one will make fun of her. While everyone is praising You Yue for her good idea, Jiang Xuening suddenly walks in through the door and walks directly in front of You Yue, saying that she wants to talk to her about something.

You Yue followed Jiang Xuening to the courtyard, and was about to ask Jiang Xuening what happened. Jiang Xuening suddenly pressed her head into the water in the fireproof tank at the door. Everyone heard the movement outside, and everyone came out, and they were all shocked by Jiang Xuening's words and action. Jiang Xuening pulled her out of the tank. Everyone accused Jiang Xuening of going too far. Jiang Xuening told them with a sneer that if anyone thinks she has gone too far, just go and tell on her. A grown-up girl - She didn't learn well, and even encouraged others to ruin other's reputations. If this matter was publicized, she wouldn't know who the embarrassing person was, so she would walk away after saying this.

After returning to the house, Jiang Xuening couldn't help but think of her past life with Zhang Zhe. In order to avoid the rebels, Zhang Zhe once risked his life to save her. When Zhou Yin's party was arrested, Jiang Xuening asked Zhang Zhe to save Zhou Yinzhi. Zhe refused to agree, but later asked Zhou Yinzhi to report him. Zhou Yinzhi reported meritoriously and was not only released but also promoted, but Zhang Zhe was imprisoned.

Before the culture class exam, everyone realized that Jiang Xuening seemed to have a backstage pass, so they took the initiative to ask her about Xie Wei's preferences and the books he usually likes to read. Jiang Xuening simply told them what she knew in her previous life. She leaked the questions to them and reminded them that Xie Wei liked neatly written answers. Those ladies were originally unlearned, but after listening to Jiang Xuening's words, they hurriedly looked for relevant information. Only the daughter of the Xue family, Xue Shu, did not believe her because she had the support of her aunt who was the imperial concubine. Her aunt had already paved the way for her. After avoiding everyone, Xue Shu found connections and asked questions for the exam. Xue Shu was surprised Suddenly, she discovered that the test questions she got were the same as Jiang Xuening's.

When the exam began, Jiang Xuening not only scrawled in her writing, but also deliberately made blacked out corrections. After she finished, she also drew a small turtle on the the paper. After everyone finished, Xie Wei put away the test paper. After reading it, he announced the result. What Jiang Xuening did not expect was that Xie Wei rated her test paper as top, and she stood up to question it. Xie Wei let She came to him after a while, and when she saw Xie Wei's abnormal behavior, Jiang Xuening realized that she was self-defeating, so she decided to take a risky move.

After meeting Xie Wei, she asked Xie Wei directly if the purpose of keeping her in the palace was because he was worried that she would tell him about his apathy. After hearing Jiang Xuening's question, Xie Wei recalled, When he was sick, Jiang Xuening used her own blood to save him, so he told her clearly that he did not trust her, but he was not an ungrateful person. The conversation between the two seemed to be an understatement, but in fact, there was a hidden murderous intention. From now on, Jiang Xuening couldn't help but secretly rejoice that although she had no choice but to stay in the palace, at least there was no danger of killing anyone now.
