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!"

"Has the snow sealed the mountain again?"

While writing a memorial to the emperor, the Minister Xing asked Xiao Hen, who was sorting through letters by his side.

Xiao Hen put away the letters, his tone as usual: "Mm, there's been a delay in Cang Continent."

The minister furrowed his brows and said, "Cang Continent is at least a seven-eight day journey from here, I'm afraid the army won't make it back before the end of the year."

The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and even if the army marches day and night, they still won't be able to reach the Capital City in time.

Xiao Hen looked out the window at the swirling snowflakes, his expression one of contemplation.

The border pass is bitterly cold, filled with the haze of gunpowder smoke, yet the Capital City remains untouched by war. The avenues are bustling with commoners and shop vendors, a scene of flourishing prosperity.
