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!"

553 Merits (Second Update)

It's not really Gu Jiao's fault.

People have conditional reflexes, and after spending several months with the old Marquis on the frontier and on the way back to the Capital City, Gu Jiao naturally got used to putting on the mask whenever she saw him.

Now, she was wearing it prematurely.

Without it, she could still be Gu Jiao, but with it on... she truly couldn't explain herself properly.

Gu Jiao cast a resentful glance at the Emperor in the room, incompetent at everything but unmasking people first.

Why did he have to call for her?

If he hadn't called, she wouldn't have turned back, and she would have had a bit more time to think.

...How rash!

The Emperor gave Gu Jiao a puzzled look: "Gu... "

"Little brother?"

The old Marquis stood up, walking toward Gu Jiao with a face full of confusion and uncertainty.
