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!"

Frowning slightly, he said, "Although Mother is a devout Buddhist, her lifestyle is far too austere. She doesn't even possess a decent hairpin. Unlike the Empress Dowager, who is heavily adorned with a headdress and encircled by pearls and jade, the epitome of extravagance!"

The serene Empress Dowager's lips parted as though she wanted to say something but thought better of it.

She continued to drink her medicine.

The Emperor glanced at the sparse table and asked the handmaiden Cai, who was standing by, "Isn't there any preserved fruit in the house?"

Cai chuckled, "The Empress Dowager does not partake of such."

The Emperor huffed, "Mother is just too used to hardship. In Renshou Palace, they have at least eight kinds of preserved fruit!"
