Soon, the results of the government examination came out on the list. Although Gu Chenglin was selected as a scholar, his ranking was behind.

Gu Chengrui, who accompanied him to finish reading the list, saw his drooping head, looking unhappy, rubbed his head and said, "Okay, your grades are pretty good now.

After a good period of precipitation, and then hard work, it is best to take the provincial examination six years later, maybe you can win in one fell swoop by then. "

"I see, cousin, I'm impatient."

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, take your time, it will be fine."

At the same time in Shanghe Village, Gu Chengxi also received the good news, and he is also a talented scholar.

But he couldn't be happier.

Of course, Sun's is the happiest one. With his son's fame, the status of the two of them in the mansion will be higher in the future.

The peaceful days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day when the little princess was full moon.

Early in the morning, Zhou Ying brought a pair of small gold bracelets that she had prepared, a catty of white fungus, and two catties of donkey-hide gelatin cake made by Gu Chengrui, which contained black sesame, red dates, goji berries, and walnuts. Sun Miaoke's coming is definitely a good thing.

Finally, there is a big three-tiered cake that Gu Chengrui is carrying.

After getting ready, the two entered the palace in a carriage.

Gu Chengrui went directly to the emperor, and Zhou Ying took Shi Zhu to Fengqi Palace after learning that the queen mother was with the queen.

After entering the room, I found that not only the Queen Mother was here, but Gu Wanning was also here.

After going forward to salute, he directly gave the gift to Qingtao and said, "Inside this biggest box is a cake, a birthday gift specially prepared for the little princess.

It has to be placed in an open place, if it is pressed, it will be deformed and ugly. "

"Cake, what is it? Is it a dessert made of eggs?" The Empress Dowager asked curiously after hearing this.

"Almost, it's eggs, made of flour, it's equivalent to birthday peaches.

But the little princess is still young, so she changed it to a cake, which is also a little thought of the women. "

"You are interested." The Empress Dowager nodded with a smile, and then asked: "I heard that the business of your newly opened restaurant is also very good. Do you have any new dishes?"

"It's still the same as the original restaurant, with a slightly spicy taste."

"It's also very good. It's warm in winter." Tai Huang Tai Huang said.

As soon as the words fell, Lao Anfei and other members of the royal family walked in one after another.

After Zhou Ying spoke politely to everyone, she sat next to Gu Wanning and asked, "How is your life in the palace recently?"

"Very good, how about you?"

"We are now the celebrities in front of the emperor, so we have a smooth life." Zhou Ying asked here: "By the way, Cheng Lin has become a scholar, do you know?"

"Understood, as soon as the results came out, the emperor told me personally."

"It seems that the emperor treats you well."

"It's okay." Gu Wanning was a little embarrassed when she said this.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying asked curiously: "What's the matter, what happened?"

"It's nothing. It's just that the ministers are urging the emperor to choose a concubine. I'm afraid there will be no peace in this palace in the future."

"The emperor agrees?"

"Not yet, but this hurdle cannot be dragged on, and the emperor can't just keep us two women forever."

Zhou Ying was speechless for a while after hearing this. It is useless for anyone to say this kind of thing. It mainly depends on the emperor's own opinion.

Then he said: "Then you still have the opportunity to spend more time with the emperor to impress him and show that you are different?"

"Different?" Gu Wanning asked thoughtfully.
