The Prime Minister’s Darling

She was supposed to be a lady of the Marquis' mansion but became a farmer's daughter due to a mix-up at birth. After painstakingly growing up into a beautiful and graceful lady, nobody came to propose to her. Many said she was ugly and mentally challenged or a cursed child who brought misfortune to her parents. But her husband, whom she picked up along the way, was actually the future Prime Minister. The little monk she adopted on the mountain was one of the six Divine Generals. Even the old lady she rescued without much thought turned out to be the current Empress. A certain man said fiercely, "Dear, I'll deal with anyone who dares to bully you!" The Divine General said, "Sister, just tell me whichever territory of the six kingdoms you want. I'll conquer it for you!" The Empress said, "The Emperor bullied my darling? Just wait! I'll depose him right away!"

254 Top of the Honor Roll (First Update)

The Emperor was in Jinluan Hall, reviewing the examination papers of the candidates. The Minister of Rites, the Chief Eunuch of the Honglu Temple, and several Grand Scholars of the Cabinet were all present.

Although the papers had been corrected by several people, the Emperor would still question them if he had doubts.

All of them were extremely tense, especially the Chief Eunuch of Honglu Temple.

Of course, the papers presented to His Majesty were not all clean. They had intentionally mixed in papers from candidates they wanted to promote from each faction. These candidates were not necessarily weak, as those who performed poorly could not even make it to the Palace Examination.

They feared the Emperor might not favor the selected candidates and single them out for elimination, reselecting from the papers of those ranked after the 20th. This happened rarely, but it was not unprecedented.
