Song Wei felt relieved and thought of his other son, "I saw Yuanbao when I entered the palace yesterday. He told me he wants to take the exam this year."
Wen Wan calculated, the autumn exam is only a few months away, "He's only fourteen years old, is he confident?"
"Even if he's not confident, let him gain some experience," Song Wei said. "Having the initial experience means he can avoid many issues in future exams."
He himself had encountered the issue of a leaking roof during the examination due to inexperience, and coincidentally, he was gravely ill at the time. As a result, he muddled through three exams and barely passed, almost failing.
Wen Wan asked, "If he participates in the imperial examination, can he leave the palace?"
Song Wei pondered, "From His Highness' words, it seems Yuanbao must marry before being allowed to leave."
