The Imperial College implements a system of gender-segregated education, ostensibly under the guise of adhering to gender proprieties, but in reality, the subjects taught to males and females are different.
The Emperor and Empress are aware of this, so for Shen Jingxian's dreams, they directly tossed Shen Jingxian into Yinghua Hall at the Imperial College.
The reason they gave was that the Princess is still young and doesn't need to overly consider gender proprieties, and as a Princess, she should interact more with future talents.
Thanks to Shen Jingxian, Song Yan also entered Yinghua Hall. The hall, which had only hosted males for years, now welcomed two females, creating quite a sensation.
In the original book, Song Yan also entered Yinghua Hall, but the reason she could enter was because the teachers appreciated her talent, making an exception for her.
