Soon, the results of the capital examination were out. Although Gu Chenglin was a scholar, his ranking was on the lower end.

Gu Chengrui, who had accompanied him through the rankings, saw him drooping his little head and looking unhappy. He rubbed his head and said, “Alright, your results are already quite good now.

“It’s best if you take part in the provincial examination six years later. Who knows, you might even be able to pass the examination in one fell swoop.”

“I know, cousin. I was too anxious.”

“Haste makes waste. Take it slow. It’ll get better.”

At the same time, in Shanghe Village, Gu Chengxi also received good news. He was also a lower-ranking scholar.

However, he was overjoyed.

Of course, the happiest one was Mrs. Sun. Her son had an official position, and in the future, the status of the mother and son in the residence would be higher.

The peaceful days passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the little princess’s one-month-old birthday.

Early in the morning, Zhou Ying put on a pair of small gold bracelets that she had prepared. She also brought a pound of tremella and two pounds of pound cake made by Gu Chengrui.

“It seems that the Emperor treats you well.”

“It’s alright.” Gu Wanning was a little embarrassed.

“What’s wrong?” Zhou Ying asked curiously. “What happened?”

“It’s nothing much. It’s just that the ministers are urging the Emperor to choose another concubine. I’m afraid that the inner palace won’t be peaceful in the future.”

“The Emperor agreed?”

“Not yet, but we can’t drag this out. The Emperor can’t always have only the two of us.”

Zhou Ying was speechless for a moment after hearing this. It was useless for anyone to decide as it was mainly up to the Emperor himself.

“Then why don’t you take advantage of the opportunity to spend more time with the Emperor and leave a deep impression on him?”

“A deep impression?” Gu Wanning asked thoughtfully..
