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!"

Meanwhile, Concubine Zhuang managed to gain an audience with Empress Dowager Zhuang of the Renshou Palace.

Excitedly, she said, "Aunt, you did it, didn't you? I knew it! I knew you had the ability to fool the Emperor! This move is called 'surprise and conquer'! Empress Jing thought she could bother you by moving back to the palace, but she didn't expect you to be one step ahead and reconcile with the Emperor just by taking some action! Why didn't you do this sooner, Aunt?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at her expressionlessly.

Concubine Zhuang shrank her neck, feeling a chill in her heart, and mumbled, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? The palace is buzzing with the news that Zhang Xiu was the one who poisoned Xiao Hen. How did you think of framing Zhang Xiu, Aunt? Zhang Xiu is the Emperor's man, and you can't command her. You've washed off the suspicion cleanly!"

"Are you finished?" Empress Dowager Zhuang said indifferently. "I need to read the memorials."
