The current stability made her a little relaxed.
Also considering pregnancy...
In the dark night, Song Guanzhou laughed at herself silently. She leaned against Pei An, feeling very desolate inside. It was the helplessness of knowing the tragic ending but still struggling to move on to the past.
Pei An hugged her and was very close to her, as if he wanted to be her safest fortress.
Is it reliable?
Song Guanzhou leaned against Pei An's warm skin and murmured, "Pei An, you are the closest person to me in this life."
If she could leave Pei An alive, she would never indulge in love between men and women again.

On the day when the results are announced, some are happy while others are sad.
Early in the morning, Alu Linxi and the other man rushed to the east wall outside the Ministry of Rites and stood guard. When they got there, countless people had already gathered there, staring at the wall that had been cleaned yesterday, waiting for the imperial edict to be posted on the wall.
Xu Lingbai was relatively calm before the exam, but on the day of the results announcement, he became restless.
He wanted to go and see it in person, but was stopped by Song Guanzhou.
"Why are you in such a hurry? They didn't say when it would be posted. Why don't you let the others take a look? After it's posted, my two cousins can ride away."
Because of this, Song Guanzhou kept everyone in Shaohua Garden. The private school teacher knew that the results would be announced today, so he also released a few students from school and allowed them to come to Shaohua Garden. They surrounded Song Guanzhou and said, "We will also go up to the east wall to see the results later."
Song Guanzhou pinched Huan Ge'er's little nose and said, "You all should go, so you can see it for yourself."
The older Qin Ge'er was quite calm and said, "I have seen it before!"
Ling Ge'er followed behind him, "Uncle Four was on the list earlier, and it was Grandpa Hai who took my brother and me to see it in person."
Throughout history, both in China and abroad, the announcement of results has always been a lively occasion.
Xu Lingbai couldn't calm down, and even playing a few rounds of hand with Xiao Bei was a bit strenuous. Seeing Xu Lingqiao also panicking, Song Guanzhou finally relaxed and said, "Forget it, you guys go and watch. If you don't mind too many people, my sister-in-law, cousin, and brothers can all go."
"Then Guan Zhou, you——"
Zhang Fanghui and Xu Lingqiao looked at her legs and feet. She waved her hands and said, "It's better for me not to join in the excitement. I'll wait for the good news from my two brothers who have passed the imperial examinations."
Qi Yueniang received the news and brought Pei Qiuyu over, saying, "Let's go out and share in the good cheer." Only then did Song Guanzhou know that Qi Yueniang's half-brother had also taken the exam.
Lin Shan also came in from outside, "Uncle Hai got the order from the prince to prepare the carriage early. If you want to go now, then go to the corner gate to get on the carriage."
As soon as he finished speaking, several children cheered for him.
Wei Linshan went ahead and Qi Yueniang looked at Guan Zhou who was left alone, "Then you should take good care of yourself and wait for my letter."
"it is good."
People come and go, and the courtyard is empty.
Ren Dong rubbed Song Guanzhou's unbound legs and whispered, "I really hope that both of you cousins will be on the list."
Song Guanzhou smiled and shook his head, "With thousands of troops and horses, it's so difficult to only capture two or three hundred people."
Qingfang, Qingfei and Hehua were more active and followed Xu Lingqiao out early, leaving Rendong and the older ones to guard Song Guanzhou. When Zhuanggu heard this, she couldn't help but smack her lips, "Is it so difficult? Tsk tsk, I thought it was a little simple."
Mrs. Meng shook her head. "You saw that our Fourth Young Master easily became a second-class Jinshi without any effort, and you thought it was easy. How could it be possible?"
Zhuang Gu looked at Song Guanzhou with doubt.
"Madam, what is the second list?"
Fortunately, the cannon fodder's original wife still had her memory, and Song Guanzhou was very studious now, so he knew most of it. After taking a sip of warm tea, he began to popularize science, "Today, the imperial edict is released, which is the list of candidates admitted to the imperial examination. Two hundred and twenty candidates were admitted to the last imperial examination. They will take the palace examination at the beginning of the month, and will be divided into three lists according to the final scores. In the past dynasty, it was also called the top three. Since the beginning of Dalong history, it has been changed to three lists."
"I only know about the first place, the second place, and the third place. What is this——"
Song Guanzhou smiled and replied, "This is the first list, which selects the top three candidates in the palace examination. The list is written on the finest golden paper, commonly known as the first class or the golden list."
"My goodness, there were probably tens of thousands of people taking the exam, but in the end only three of them made the list, tsk tsk!"
Zhuanggu and Mengsao's eyes lit up and they were dumbfounded. Rendong knew all this and said, "People only focus on the first three, but they don't know that the people behind them are also very powerful."
"It's natural."
Song Guanzhou smiled brightly, "As for the second list, last year, 17 people were selected. The first place was given the title of Jindian Chuanlu, and the next 16 people were all granted the title of Jinshi. You four young masters happened to be the sixth on this list."
That's it!
Song Guanzhou then talked about the rest of the people, who would be the top three, also known as the three lists, and would be granted the same status as Jinshi.
While they were talking lively, Qin Qingdong staggered in with Chun Ge. He was used to sleeping in, and the sun was shining brightly at this time, so he came to Shaohua Garden with sleepy eyes.
Honeysuckle and the others waited for them to sit down and placed the reserved food on the table.
"Guan Zhou, you know everything, but do you know why Si Lang, who did not pass the imperial examination, was admitted to the Hanlin Academy?"
Song Guanzhou shook his head.
Then he nodded again and pointed his index finger at himself. Qin Qingdong didn't understand and asked in confusion, "You are..."
"Is it because of me?"
Qin Qingdong was a little slow: "Ah?"
"Because I have my eyes on Si Lang, I specifically asked my father to quickly recruit this candidate for the son-in-law to my side, so that I, Song Guanzhou, can get the upper hand."
Qin Qingdong was amazed after hearing this.
After a long time, he put away his tongue and swallowed his saliva. "Guan Zhou, you are so bold. Shi Lang and I both know it, but we didn't know you dare to speculate like this!"
what?
Song Guanzhou held his forehead with his hand, "No? I sincerely mentioned it to my father."
"of course not!"
Qin Qingdong was speechless. Song Guanzhou looked up at Rendong. Rendong shook her head to show that she didn't know. Qin Qingdong held his forehead and said, "You dare to think and say it. Fortunately, it's in front of me. If Silang knew, I'm afraid he would be furious."
Song Guanzhou quickly picked up the pot and poured tea for Qin Qingdong.
"Erlang, tell me quickly, it's not nepotism, it must be our Silang's real ability!"
"That's natural."
Qin Qingdong looked at Song Guanzhou, who looked materialistic but fawning, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "There's no need to say much about the three people on the gold list. It's good for them to enter the Hanlin Academy, but if they don't, they'll go to a good place. The more than ten Jinshi also took part in the imperial examination. After a series of tests, Silang was lucky enough to get the first place and entered the Hanlin Academy."
Song Guanzhou stuck out his tongue lightly, feeling a little shy.
"I almost thought it was my father who was abusing his power for his daughter's benefit."
"You, a woman, should not speak carelessly. If someone else hears this and happens to pass on some information, and it really comes before the emperor, it will be a disaster."
“I didn’t understand in the past.”
Song Guanzhou apologized, "I thought Silang didn't like me before and ignored me for two years. I must have forced him to get married--"
"That's nonsense from outside. Do you think Silang is a poor scholar who failed the imperial examination and can be manipulated at will by you, Miss Song?"
Song Guanzhou held his cheeks with both hands and said with a blushing face, "... Is Silang also interested in me?"
