The Emperor and Empress occasionally came to see Song Yan and the Princess studying diligently together, and they were very relieved.
If Yi Fen ascends the throne in the future, Song Yan will surely become her right-hand person.
The Emperor even went to check Song Yan's exam results. She has already scored the top ranking in four consecutive exams, and if she gets another top score in the upcoming exam, she will achieve five consecutive top ranks.
Since the implementation of the examination system, no one has ever achieved six consecutive top ranks.
Even the Empress only obtained four.
Achieving six consecutive top ranks would be a good omen.
That night, the Emperor and Empress talked extensively, and they both believed that the case of Song Yan being kidnapped could be handled after the exams. If Song Yan indeed scored top in the exam, and then was chosen as the top scorer by royal decree, she would become the first person in history to achieve six consecutive top ranks.
