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!"

84 Imperial Examination (second revision)

Huang Zhong found Young Master Gu on a large tree a hundred steps away from the courtyard.

Lord Gu had been hauled up by Gu Jiao and hung on a large tree branch, like a soaking wet garment, not a single dry spot on his entire being as water dripped down from him.

Huang Zhong was extremely startled when he saw him; it was lucky it was broad daylight, for he might have mistaken him for a ghost if it had been night!

"My Lord, why have you hung yourself on a tree?"

Did I hang myself? It was that reckless lass!

"And how did your face get swollen?"

Still that lass!

Every encounter with the girl spelled trouble for him, his body was soon going to bear no mark of soundness!

He realized, that lass was his nemesis!

"I refuse to recognize her as family anymore—"

Gu Jiao bid Gu Yan goodbye, and although he was reluctant to see her go, her promise to return soon for a follow-up examination comforted him.

He accompanied Gu Jiao in his palanquin, and then saw her onto the carriage.
