At the top level of Wangyue Pavilion, a purple gauze curtain hung. This place was not usually open to students, but after Nalan Yan'er completed the first round of assessments, she ascended the stairs.

Nalan Yan'er frowned slightly.

It was said that she had once rendered a great service to the late Emperor and was in possession of an imperial pardon, which meant that even Emperor Yongye would show her a measure of deference upon meeting her.
