The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 368

Han Xiaoxiao urged all the way, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't wait until the Regent Princess has recruited enough disciples. Otherwise, my trip would be in vain." Her voice was anxious and eager, as if she was afraid of missing out.

The servant drove the carriage quickly all the way and finally arrived near the Regent's Palace.

However, when the carriage stopped, Han Xiaoxiao looked through the window and found that a large crowd had gathered in front of her, a dark mass that stretched as far as the eye could see.

"Miss, there are too many people ahead and the carriage can't pass through," said the servant.

Han Xiaoxiao muttered, "What? So many people? How long will the line end?" There was a hint of impatience in her voice.

Han Xiaoxiao quickly straightened her clothes, lifted her skirt, jumped lightly off the carriage, and ran away.

"Hey, line up!" someone in the crowd shouted.

Han Xiaoxiao was stunned. She looked at the dense crowd in front of her. With so many people, how long would it be her turn?

Han Xiaoxiao looked around and saw that many people were waiting anxiously, so she waited patiently as well.

However, time passed by minute by minute, Han Xiaoxiao was still standing there, and there was no movement at the gate of the Regent's Palace.

She became more and more anxious, sweat dripped down her cheeks, and she began to doubt whether she could really meet the Regent Princess and become her disciple.

Just as Han Xiaoxiao was waiting anxiously, the door of the Regent's Palace suddenly opened.

Xue Zhiyan walked out, and his appearance immediately quieted the originally noisy crowd, with all eyes focused on him.

"Ahem, today the Regent Princess is accepting disciples. I'm sure you all are here for this. If you want to become the Regent Princess's disciple, there are two conditions. One is that your family background must be clean, and the other is that you must pass the assessment." Xue Zhiyan's voice was steady and powerful, and every word was clearly heard by everyone.

His words exploded in the crowd like a bombshell, and everyone began to discuss. Some people were disappointed because they knew they might not pass the test, while others were full of fighting spirit, believing that they could pass the test and become the Regent Princess's disciple.

"The first level of the assessment is to familiarize yourself with the basic medicinal materials." Xue Zhiyan continued, his eyes sweeping over everyone present, as if looking for those who are truly talented.

"Only those who pass the first level can enter the palace, where the princess will set the questions for the exam herself." His words revealed an unquestionable majesty that made everyone feel awe.

There was another uproar among the crowd, and this time the discussion was even more heated.

Some people began to recall what they had learned and prepare for the upcoming test; others were exchanging knowledge about medicinal materials with each other, trying to find some shortcuts.

Han Xiaoxiao instantly became confident after hearing what Xue Zhiyan said. Under the influence of her father since she was a child, she was already familiar with all kinds of basic medicinal materials.

She knew that she had solid knowledge of medicinal materials, so she was full of confidence.

She closed her eyes and began to recall the knowledge about medicinal materials she had learned, trying to build a complete map of medicinal materials in her mind.

The others were also preparing nervously, knowing that this test was not only a test of their knowledge, but also a test of their will. Only those who were truly talented and perseverant could pass this test and become the Regent Princess's apprentice.

There are also many people who have dropped out of the military and are discharged from the army, and these are people who do not have a solid foundation of basic knowledge.

Xue Zhiyan waved his hand, and immediately many guards came out. They moved quickly and brought many tables, chairs and stools from the teahouse. The crowd dispersed and stood on both sides, waiting for the guards of the palace to place the tables and chairs. Another guard took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and placed them on the small table.
