The people who posted the list eagerly spread the news, and a crowd had already gathered on the street.
Everyone wanted to see who the top scholar was.
"Princess, the road is a bit crowded, the carriage can't get through, we might be late."
The street was full of people, their carriage could only stop by the roadside.
Yu Nianzhao, not fond of waiting, got off the carriage herself.
"Have you heard? Because of the evil spirits, the examination was delayed, which has upset everyone, but finally, the exam is over."
"What is the background of this new top scholar?"
"I heard he's from Luoshui Town, named Ji Yasheng!"
"Luoshui Town? That's far from Shangjing, and the surname Ji? That's rare! It sounds like... the Ji family that suffered the massacre."
...
A group of commoners were watching, muttering amongst themselves.
"Now that His Majesty is rectifying the court, they need capable people. This top scholar, I hear he is very talented and is sure to be heavily relied upon."
