Finally, it was the Empress Ceremony. Sun Miaoke became the Empress, and Gu Wanning received the t.i.tle of Consort Xian.

Needless to say, after the two of them dressed up, they looked much more dignified and beautiful.

Perhaps because she was tired, Sun Miaoke’s delivery came early, and she gave birth to a daughter that night.

The next day, Zhou Ying was stunned when she received the news. Sun Miaoke was only eight months pregnant. A premature birth…

Thinking of this, she glanced into the palace. The child was a little thin and weak, and Sun Miaoke had obviously suffered a lot as well; her small face had turned green.

Fortunately, the mother and daughter were safe, and Zhou Ying retreated.

During breakfast, Zhou Ying saw Gu Chengrui smiling from ear to ear. She asked, “What’s up? What’s the good news?”

Gu Chengrui then told her about the Emperor’s decision. Twelve days later, all the officials in the Ming Dynasty would have to pay their respects to the Mother G.o.d.

He said, “This time, Mother G.o.d is completely established in the country. It’ll be difficult to forget her in the future.”

Zhou Ying was not very happy after hearing that, as she would have to give the new Emperor a gift.

“What do you think I should give him?” Zhou Ying asked.

Gu Chengrui paused when he heard that. It was obvious that he had never thought that she would return the gift.

That’s right. The new Emperor had ascended the throne and brought so many people to pay their respects to her. She had to show her grat.i.tude.

After pondering for a moment, he replied, “Why don’t you give corn seeds to the north and rice seeds to the south?

“If we solve the food shortage as soon as possible, people will believe in Mother G.o.d more.”

“That’s a decent idea. But if I give out seeds, your position as the agriculture minister won’t be of much use.”

“It’s okay. I didn’t want to be an official in the first place.” Gu Chengrui said.

“Alright, then it’s settled.”

As the capital examination was the next day, Zhou Ying did not go out again. Instead, she prepared some food for Gu Chenglin.

She prepared meat pies, instant noodles, steamed buns, and braised eggs.

After cooking them, she froze them and gave them to Gu Chenglin, telling him how to cook and eat them later.

“Thank you so much, sister-in-law. With these things, I don’t have to eat only steamed buns anymore.” Gu Chenglin took it and smiled.

“It’s good that you like it. When you leave, bring a few pears with you in case you get heaty.”

“Alright, I’ll do that.” Gu Chenglin nodded.

When he was about to head off to the examination hall the next day, Gu Chengrui personally sent him off and checked whether he had the necessary items, such as brushes, ink, papers, and inkstones.

When they arrived at the entrance of the examination hall, Gu Chengrui saw his nervous expression and patted his head with a smile. “You’re already good for your young age. How old are you? If you can’t get in, just take the exam three years later. Don’t take it too seriously.

“Remember, don’t bother about anyone else after you enter. Don’t be in a hurry, and calm down first.

“Wait until you’ve completely calmed down before you answer the questions.”

Gu Chenglin looked up at him. “I’ll try my best. You can go back. I’ll go in now.”

“Go ahead.” Gu Chengrui smiled and waved at him. After watching Gu Chenglin pa.s.s the inspection, he turned around and walked back.

Over the next three days, the husband and wife went to their two newly bought manors. After making arrangements for them, they immediately rushed back.

Just as they reached the entrance of the examination hall, the examination had completely ended. Gu Chengrui immediately got out of the carriage and walked over.

After a while, Gu Chenglin walked out with his head down.

Gu Chengrui smiled. “Not bad. You didn’t lose weight. You’re in good shape.”

“Cousin, why don’t you ask me how I did?”

“No matter how the exam went, it’s already a foregone conclusion.

“Why don’t we have a good meal and have a good sleep at night? Then, we can happily wait for the results. Didn’t I say it before? You’re still young, so you don’t have to hurry.” Gu Chengrui said..
