Shen Yurong's bachelor's degree should be a bachelor's degree from the Hanlin Academy. Taking the Hanlin Academy in the Qing Dynasty as a reference, the highest grade is the second-grade bachelor's degree from the Hanlin Academy, followed by the fourth-grade bachelor's degree from the Imperial Academy and the bachelor's degree from the lecturer. It is from the Hanlin Academy of the fifth rank to read and lecture, and then from the sixth rank of the Hanlin Academy to the editor and the seventh rank of the Hanlin Academy to compile and so on.
Generally speaking, after the results of an imperial examination are released, the number one, number two, and top picks will be directly selected into the Hanlin Academy. The difference is that the number one pick will be awarded a sixth-rank Hanlin Academy, while the second and top picks will have to be awarded the seventh-rank Hanlin Academy. The academy has been compiled, but other Jinshi are basically not eligible to enter the Hanlin Academy.
Judging from the official uniforms in " Mo Yuyunjian ", which are purple, crimson, dark green, light green, etc., the plot background is somewhat similar to that of the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the third-level and above uniforms were purple, and the fourth- and fifth-level uniforms were purple. The sixth and seventh grades are in green, and the eighth and ninth grades are in green. Shen Yurong was awarded the bachelor's degree of the Hanlin Academy after being the top scholar in high school, and was qualified to wear Fei robe, which means that he is either fourth or fifth grade.
Obviously, Shen Yurong's official position was not in line with historical conventions. Very few champions were ranked as fourth- or fifth-rank officials, and at most they were sixth-rank officials. It would have been much more reasonable if Shen Yurong was wearing a green robe.
