The Hidden Guard reported that it was unknown whether the Crown Princess was giving birth to a boy or a girl, but the Crown Prince's residence was filled with joy. The Crown Prince ordered a carriage to be prepared to enter the palace and report to the Emperor. He emerged from the residence unable to contain his happiness, seemingly off to deliver good news.
Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinxiu did not pay much attention to the gender of the Crown Princess's child. In the evening, the two sat together discussing the spring examination.
After last year's examination fraud, the chief examiner this year was the highly respected Master Tan, which made everyone feel more at ease. Master Tan had lived to such an old age that he valued his reputation above all else.
"I remember the candidate from last year named Xue Renyi, who knocked on the drum to report the fraud. I wonder if he will get a good result this year," Bai Qingyan recalled.
