The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Not only Hua Fuyue was depressed, but Hua Fuying was also very solemn.

I lost to Hua Wu Ke in piano skills this morning, I wonder if I can make up for it with my painting tomorrow.

Taking a deep breath and collecting her thoughts, Hua Fuying sat down at the desk and continued to think about the painting she would create tomorrow.

A night passed and the third day of the entrance examination had begun.

There are no requirements for painting, just paint what you are good at.

At the final presentation, most people drew scenery, either red flowers and green leaves, or green leaves and red flowers.

The gentleman almost vomited when looking at all the colorful flowers and plants.

Suddenly, a painting caught his eye. It was a picture of a peony in full bloom.

Just a few strokes of the pen are enough to depict the grace of the peony, and a touch of cinnabar makes the proudly standing peony show its beauty.

This cluster of lifelike peonies stands out among the peach and pear blossoms.

The teacher in the school stroked his beard with his hand, nodded and praised, "Not bad, not bad."

Unexpectedly, he saw something more attractive in the blink of an eye.

Hua Fuying was happy to see that the usually strict teacher expressed his approval of her paintings, but she didn't expect that he turned around and admired other people's paintings.

Turn your eyes to the painting, it is a picture of mountains, rivers and sunset.

The evening glow dyed the clouds into sunset glow, which sprinkled on the river, making it sparkle. The mountains in the distance separated the sky from the river, trying to hide the setting sun behind them.

The whole painting is not as exquisite as my own, but it is more magnificent and gives people the feeling of traveling on rivers and chasing the sunset.

Hua Fuying didn't expect that the person who painted the picture would have such a state of mind. She raised her eyes and looked at the man.

Hua Wu Ke! It was her!

Hua Fuying pinched her fingers. This was the first time she met an opponent in painting. She wondered who would come out on top between her and her!

In a blink of an eye, the morning was over. Hua Wu Ke and Lin Xizhi had lunch and went to the lecture hall to wait for the results to be announced.

The order of announcement of results is consistent with the order of examinations.

Lin Xizhi took Hua Wuke through the list and saw, not surprisingly, that she was ranked first in arithmetic.

Glancing down, I saw Hua Wuke's name was listed after mine:

"Not bad, Hua Wu Ke."

As the daughter of the Minister of Works, she often helped her father measure river embankments and city walls. Arithmetic was too easy.

She didn't expect Hua Wu Ke could achieve such results, which made her look at him with new eyes.

Hua Wu Ke smiled but said nothing. Lately he had been thinking about the money that the Hua family army needed to spend in various places, so his arithmetic had improved a lot.

The next list is calligraphy, with Hua Wu Ke at the top.

When she was the queen, she tied small stones to her wrists to practice calligraphy so that her handwriting would not be laughed at by the world.

This result was achieved even though the skin on my wrists was rubbed raw by the rope.

In terms of piano skills, Hua Wu Ke is at the top of the list without a doubt.

Lin Xizhi originally thought that without Hua Wuke to fill the last place for her, she would definitely be at the end, but she didn't expect that the one at the end would be Hua Fuyue.

Then came the paintings, with Hua Wuke and Hua Fuying tied for the top spot.

"Third sister draws well."

Hua Fuying came to his side without knowing when.

Seeing the coldness in her eyes, but she was still pretending to be generous and smiling to praise him, Hua Wu Ke curled the corners of his mouth and responded:

"It's all thanks to my sister's good teaching."

After all, it was Hua Fuying who taught her how to paint when she was the Crown Princess in her previous life.

He did guide her a few times, but they were all fake and nonsense. He didn't expect Hua Wu Ke to answer like this. Hua Fuying's face became even uglier.

But he still smiled and followed Hua Wu Ke to look at the overall rankings.

The overall list contains students who have passed the college entrance examination. If you can’t find your name on the list, it means you have failed.

At this time, Wu Yuwen was standing in front of the overall ranking list. When she saw Hua Wuke coming, she looked at her coldly, then turned and walked away.

"What's wrong with this Miss Wu?"

Lin Xizhi couldn't stand the way Wu Yuwen walked around with such arrogance just because her father was the dean.

I really thought I was some kind of trumpet creeper.

Hua Wu Ke had some guesses in his mind.

When he got closer, he saw that his name was at the top of the list, ahead of Wu Yuwen, who was in second place.

“Ahhhhh! Wu Ke, you’ve made it into the first class! And you’re first place! You’re so awesome!”

Lin Xizhi was clinging to Hua Wuke in ecstasy.

Hua Wu Ke curled his lips and didn't say anything, but searched silently on the list. When he saw Lin Xizhi's name, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Just like in her previous life, Hua Fuying also made it into the first class, but because of her inclusion, she moved back one place to third place.

Hua Fuyue, due to feeling unwell after taking laxatives by mistake, almost failed the entrance examination and her name was ranked among the last few.

There was a list of men on the list next to it, with Wu Ze at the top.

After the list was announced, the academy also held a banquet for these students who had achieved academic success.

Sitting on the podium at the banquet were all gentlemen from the academy.

Every year before the banquet begins, six students who ranked first are called to the stage to be commended.

Hua Wu Ke stood on the far right of the six people, and Wu Ze was on his left.

When he stood next to Hua Wuke, Wu Ze gave her a cold look.

That day, his father called him to the study and told him that Hua Wu Ke was engaged to Prince An, and ordered him to clarify the rumor that Hua Wu Ke was infatuated with him.

Oh! The engagement has been going on for a long time, why do you want to avoid suspicion now?

Wu Ze thought that this was just an idea that Hua Wu Ke came up with to attract his attention because he saw that Hua Wu Ke had followed him silently in the past but never got his attention at all.

But this also suits Wu Ze's wishes.

I have long been unwilling to be secretive with Ying'er, and this is a good opportunity for me to express my feelings to Ying'er.

Now that they have passed the college entrance examination, they are old enough to get married. When I marry her home, Hua Wu Ke will never be able to bully her again!

After the commendation was over, Wu Ze took the initiative to speak without Hua Wuke's reminder.

"The student still has something to say today." Wu Ze bowed to the teachers.

As soon as Wu Ze opened his mouth, Hua Fuying had a bad feeling and quickened her pace to leave the platform.

"What's the matter?" asked Dean Wu Feng, who was sitting in the middle.

"Student Wu Ze has long admired the eldest daughter of the Hua family, Hua Fuying, and often makes appointments with her. The third daughter of the Hua family also often accompanies him on outings.

This led to rumors that Miss Hua San was infatuated with me. Now Wu Ze is here to clarify this matter. Wu Ze has no relationship with Hua Wu Ke. "

After a pause, he added:

"And Miss Hua San is already engaged, so please don't spread rumors like this anymore."

Hearing Wu Ze's additional words, Hua Wu Ke sneered in his heart.

This is a disguised reminder to myself that since I am engaged, I should stop bothering him.

Lin Xizhi also understood the deep meaning:

"Tsk, he's quite complacent. This rumor has been around for a while, why didn't he come out to clarify it earlier?

Isn't it just to satisfy himself and talk about love with the woman he likes without caring about other people's situation?

Such a selfish person really thinks he is so popular. "

Hua Wu Ke nodded silently in agreement.

Seeing that Wu Ze did not mention the most crucial point, Hua Wu Ke added:

"Mr. Wu, there is one thing you haven't made clear. Wu Ke didn't take the initiative to accompany you two.

Hua Fuying was afraid that the news of a man and a woman being alone would cause gossip, so she asked me to go with her."

After hearing what Wu Ze said earlier, I thought it was just a misunderstanding.

After Hua Wu Ke's addition, others also understood the twists and turns in this.

"Hua Fuying usually looks weak and gentle, and is always bullied by Hua Fuyue. I didn't expect that she has such an ugly mind."

"That's right, it's fine if you're meeting a man outside of your own, but you're using others as a shield."

"Hua Wu Ke came to the academy only a few times, and even so, I saw Hua Wu Ke protecting Hua Fu Ying who was bullied by Hua Fu Yue several times.

I didn’t expect that Hua Fuying would repay kindness with hatred.”

"How despicable it is to do something that would ruin a girl's reputation!"

……

When Hua Fuying heard people around her commenting on her like this, her face almost turned pale.

She could only pretend to be at a loss and look in Hua Wu Ke's direction with fear, biting her lip, lowering her head and keeping silent.

This caused several girls who were deceived by her and were on good terms with her to comfort her, saying that she definitely did not do it on purpose and it must be some misunderstanding.

Seeing Hua Fuying's reaction.

Wu Ze concluded in his heart that Hua Wu Ke must have slandered Ying'er because he took advantage of Ying'er not daring to refute him!

He became more determined to marry Hua Fuying home as soon as possible.
