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!"

Competing for Favor (Part 1)_2

The old lady gazed at the delicate young boy in front of her, unable to articulate why, but she had an inkling that she had encountered him somewhere before.

—Correct, the emperor was quite fond of the twins from the Marquis Dingham Residence, and had the virtuous empress take the twins to pay respects to the empress dowager. Therefore, the old lady had indeed met the young Gu Yan before.

However, she was not particularly fond of children and, after granting them a few gifts, she promptly dismissed them. She didn't retain any memory of this encounter now.

Young Gu Yan had been too small then and could not remember what the empress dowager looked like. As such, when they sat face to face now, neither could recognize the other.

The old lady looked at the syrup in her bowl, then at Gu Yan's syrup, smacking her lips: "I'll swap with you."

The old lady had dietary restrictions, so the syrup Gu Jiao made for her was not sweet enough. Gu Yan's, on the other hand, was perfect.
