Soon, the Top scorer in the Imperial Examination was announced.
Although His Majesty was not in the Capital, everything proceeded as it should, except that the Emperor couldn't personally designate the Top scorer.
While the Top scorer, Bangyan, and Tanhua naturally received boundless glory, Ye Chuanlu, who ranked first in the second-tier list, was also much celebrated.
Moreover, when it became known how the Ye Family related to the Qian Family, Qian Tanhua and Ye Chuanlu quickly became sought-after figures in the Capital.

The bride of the Ye Family was even a Manchu woman.
Any lingering thoughts were thus put to rest.
