Chapter 339 I...I'm about to give birth
"You are about to give birth and it is not convenient for you to return to your hometown. If you want to inform your ancestors, let me offer you a stick of incense for me." Gu Huaizhi brushed the peach petals from her hair, her white cheeks were blushing from the sun, and her eyebrows were gentle. Ru Shui, sleeping softly in the recliner, with a petite and slender figure, and only one belly during the entire pregnancy: "Do your feet cramp during the day?"
"Something has happened in the past few days. The position of the thigh is not painful when lying still, but it will throb after walking for a while." Su Wan grabbed a small piece of clothing lying on the floor and covered it on her belly. She looked down and saw that it was bigger than a palm. Little red clothes: "Do you think it's a boy or a girl?"
The sunlight cast a layer of warm light on his cold eyes, and he said with a smile on his lips: "Girl."
"He's so naughty, maybe he's a boy." Su Wan held his finger and played with it, "Have you thought of a name?"
"Lingxi?"
"You don't have the wings of a colorful phoenix in your body, but you have a clear mind in your heart?" Su Wan chuckled: "It means that the hearts are connected. It's so vulgar."
"Why isn't it the meaning of 'Everything goes as you wish, the two love each other, and you can only believe in a little bit of synergy, and you can be sincere to the God of the Sea'? It means nimbleness, wisdom and agility." Gu Huaizhi glanced at her and said warmly: "It is both vulgar and elegant."
"If you can be more tacky, just call it Gu Jiaojiao." Su Wan complained.
"You can call me Jiaojiao by my nickname."
"Fuck you!" Su Wan couldn't bear it and kicked him directly.
"Be gentle, don't get hurt." Gu Huaizhi didn't hide, kicked her, grabbed her feet, and said sternly: "Gu Huayao."
"Huayao..." Su Wan tasted it carefully, then curled her lips and said, "That's a good name." She asked enthusiastically, "Where's the boy's name?"
Gu Huaizhi fell into silence.
Su Wan's smile faded: "Didn't you take it?"
"..."
Gu Huaizhi really didn't take it.
Su Wan slumped on the recliner and touched her belly. She was really worried about the child, fearing that her father would dislike her if she gave birth to a baby.
Gu Huaizhi tried to save his image as a loving father: "Liu Yuanzhi said it's a girl."
Su Wan rolled her eyes, not believing a single punctuation mark from him.
"Mom said that in the first three months, you secretly started to collect beads and flowers, beautiful hairbands, small bracelets and necklaces. The cloths you bought were all brightly colored, pink and bright yellow. Will you know your gender at that time?"
"..."
"And the pulse count is inaccurate! This is also undesirable!" Su Wan accused him: "Boys and girls are your children, so you can't be too partial."
"..." Gu Huaizhi touched his nose, "If it is a boy, I will naturally love him. He can wear these clothes. I haven't given him a name now because I take him too seriously and must be cautious."
He was silent and said quietly, "My name is Gu Shenzhi."
"????"
Take it seriously!
Su Wan was too lazy to pay attention to him.
——
Gu Huaizhi, apart from going to court every day, would go back to his house to accompany Su Wan. As the day she planned to give birth approached, people in the house were always on standby, and the two stable women and two female doctors who had been invited had already moved into Gu's house.
The due date has passed, but it still hasn't started, but the ceremony of passing on the body has come.
Gu Huaizhi arrived outside Donghua Gate on the fourth watch. All the tributes, all wearing official uniforms and crowns with three branches and nine leaves, were waiting for the door to open.
As the morning bell rang, the thick ink-like sky seemed to open a gap, and dazzling white light seeped out, illuminating the entire sleeping Forbidden Palace.
He looked up at the palace illuminated by golden light, like a giant dragon circling and looking down, with majestic momentum.
This place is a place that thousands of students who study hard in the cold window yearn for. He can't remember the state of mind when he first stepped into the palace wall and stood in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the morning. He was probably as excited and passionate as them.
The Donghua Gate slowly opened, Gu Huaizhi closed his eyes and followed the officials filing in, heading to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
All the tributes, princes and ministers entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony together, and lined up on the left and right. Stand and listen attentively to the announcement of the names and rankings of those who have passed the Jinshi examination.
The official of Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites set up a yellow case next to the inner east of Taihe, and the cabinet bachelor held a yellow list and placed it on top of the yellow case.
After everything was ready, he went to Qinzheng Hall to invite the emperor to wear formal clothes and go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to ascend his throne.
After the princes, ministers and the tributes knelt down and kowtowed three times, the officials of Honglu Temple began to announce the "Zhi": "On the fifth day of the third month of the Xinchou year, we will test the tributes from all over the world. The first one will be awarded the title of Jinshi, and the second one will be awarded the title of Jinshi. He was born as a Jinshi, and the third person was given the same background as a Jinshi."
Next, it’s time to roll call.
The Gongshi held their breaths, their hearts beating violently, and their eyes all glanced at Gu Huaizhi. Except for the top ten Gongshi, the others all thought that there was something shady about this Enke, and the Three Tripod Armor Gu Huaizhi definitely ranks among them.
Wang Xueqin, however, was very worried. If Gu Huaizhi had not entered Sandingjia with his thigh, he might have aroused ridicule.
Gu Huaizhi was very calm. His ranking didn't matter to him, as long as he was a Jinshi.
Xu Hui, the chief minister of the cabinet, dragging his sick body, held the gold medal and called out: "Gu Huaizhi is the first, first, and first."
As expected, everyone still felt unhappy.
In the blink of an eye, what if I got the top prize in the exam?
It’s not like you have to go through qualifications with them, and if you want to climb to a high position, it can take as short as three years or as long as ten years.
Without real talent and learning, even if he has excellent golden thighs, other people are not vegetarians and will never let Gu Huaizhi climb up quickly.
The eyes of the civil and military officials were also a little subtle. There was already a related household in the court who was stuffed into the cabinet by the regent. Now that another well-connected person has been admitted, how does the little emperor plan to reuse him?
Gu Huaizhi calmly walked out of the procession and knelt down on the left side of the royal road under the guidance of the Honglu Temple officials.
Xu Hui continued the roll call: "First, second, Wang Xueqin."
Wang Xueqin came out of the procession excitedly and knelt on the right side of the royal road.
The top three will be called three times, while the second and third place players will only be called once and do not need to stand out.
After the roll call was completed, the music "Qing Ping Zhang" was played in the hall, and Gu Huaizhi led the Jinshi to thank the emperor for his kindness.
The emperor directly gave the No. 1 scholar the title of editor, and the No. 2 scholar and the third flower were the editors. He also gave special permission to leave the palace from the Meridian Gate and go to the left gate of Chang'an to view the gold list.
Jing Yun wanted to congratulate his eldest brother, but now was not the time, so he followed his chamberlain back to Qinzheng Hall.
Gu Huaizhi put on his No. 1 Scholar robe and joined Wang Xueqin, who was second in the list, and Zhou Lang, who was the most beautiful woman. The Minister of Rites held the golden list and presented it on a cloud disk. Together they went out of Taihe Gate and Meridian Gate to Chang'an Gate to post the list.
At this time, the sun was already high in the sky, and the common people stood in the streets, wanting to see the handsome man.
Su Wan was thinking about Gu Huai being the number one winner, but she didn't know what to do. She booked a private room in a restaurant on Chang'an Street early so that she wouldn't have to be squeezed by the people on the street.
"It's coming! It's coming! The Number One Scholar is here!"
"This No. 1 Scholar is so young! Zhilan Yushu, Longzhang's grace, and his demeanor are really worthy of this title!"
There was a roar of people, and Su Wan clearly heard everyone praising the champion. She lay down at the window and looked outside. I saw Gu Huaizhi wearing a golden flower and black gauze hat, a red robe, and a horse with a golden saddle and red mane. The horse's hooves stepped on the scattered apricot flowers on the street and walked slowly towards her.
Su Wan's breath was choked.
He seemed to be aware of it, and looked across the crowd calmly, meeting her eyes.
Su Wan suddenly shortened her body and hugged her belly with both hands: "Mom, my water has broken... my water has broken. I'm going to give birth!"
