Quick Wear: The host is both a dog and ruthless

Chapter 312 A powerful official dressed as a man 1

Qingguo Wenyuan Pavilion

Yu Yan, a seventh-rank editor of the Hanlin Academy, is drafting an imperial edict.

This imperial edict had been drafted more than a dozen times, but Zhao Shidu was still not satisfied with it. And because it would be used tomorrow, he had to keep comparing and revising it.

The person who was writing quickly suddenly paused, and a drop of thick ink fell from the tip of the pen.

"pat..."

The edict, which was almost completed, was destroyed in an instant.

Yu Yan, who had just entered the world, was at a loss for a moment, then she glanced around and saw that there was no one around. She looked at the pile of drafted edicts beside her and sighed that the original owner was a fool.

This was obviously a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for him, yet he was acting like an idiot, stubbornly groping in the dark and still making changes.

Yuyan threw the pen away, rubbed her sore wrist, and reviewed the original owner's life which was dominated by family and relatives.

The original owner was from a prominent family, but the family gradually declined after her grandfather's generation. In fact, by her generation, there was only one child left in the family, a girl.

But to outsiders, he is the only male in the family, and no one else knows this secret except her mother.

It is also because of this secret that the original owner can only walk on thin ice in this life path that does not belong to him.

When the original owner's mother gave birth to her, she was afraid that she would be divorced by her husband, who had been the only son in three generations, so she bribed the midwife to tell this huge lie.

She originally wanted to wait until she successfully gave birth to a boy before confessing the lie.

However, she never got pregnant again in the following seventeen years, and the original owner was forced to be raised as a man since childhood.

As she is the only son in the family, her grandfather and father have high hopes for her, hoping that she can rise to a high position, bring honor to the family, and restore the family to its former glory.

In order to conceal the original owner's identity as a woman, the original owner's mother specially found a medicine at a high price. This medicine can not only make the original owner's voice become very low, but also prevent her from having menstruation in her life.

In this way, under the protection and disguise of his mother, and also in order to fulfill the wishes of his grandfather and father, the original owner had to bite the bullet and disguise himself as a man and study hard every day for many years.

Later, he even went to take the exam with the earnest expectations of his elders at home, hoping that he would be named on the list of successful candidates, bring honor to the family, and fulfill their wishes.

At this time, the exam was not as strict as it was in the later stages, and there was no physical examination, so the original owner successfully took the exam without any surprise.

But in fact, women in this period were absolutely not allowed to serve as officials. If they were discovered, it would be considered deceiving the emperor and the only way out would be death.

Therefore, although the original owner graduated from high school, he had to hide all the time for fear that his true identity would be discovered. He lived cautiously all the time, but he did not expect that he would eventually die in the civil strife for the throne.

The original owner's wish was to try to live a good life for herself. She had been playing the role of a man all her life, and she also wanted to live like a normal girl, with her hair tied up in a bun and pearl hairpins inserted, looking at herself in the mirror every day, and having a husband who respected and loved her, and supporting each other through thick and thin.

But at the same time, she didn't want to disappoint her elderly grandfather and frail father, and wanted to fulfill their wishes and bring honor to the Yu family.

???this???

Tell me, how can these two opposing wishes be carried out at the same time and completed perfectly?

Do you really think that the turtle in the wishing well has three heads and six arms and can do everything?

At this stage, the original owner has passed the palace examination and has become an official in the court. It is too late to say anything. If he does not want to die, he has to be a good man temporarily. As for other things, we will talk about it later!

With her talent, the original owner was sure to be the top scholar. However, due to her status, she felt guilty and afraid, which led to her poor performance in front of the palace, so she only got the third place.

Because she won two first prizes in a row, the emperor was very impressed with her and directly appointed her as an editor in the Hanlin Academy.

However, this position only involves editing classics, drafting imperial edicts, compiling historical books, giving lectures at imperial lectures, and other miscellaneous tasks. Although they are not very important, one is still busy all day long.

Moreover, this official position has no real power at all. Although it is an important place for training cabinet ministers, in the early stages it all depends on gaining seniority.

Therefore, he was of little influence in the Hanlin Academy and was often bullied.

The entire Hanlin Academy is very large and is located at the outermost part of the imperial palace. She is just an editor of the seventh rank. She is located in the Wenyuan Pavilion, and her office only occupies a small corner of it.

Yu Yan stood up and walked around the small office. The largest area was filled with books and there was a gloomy and musty smell, while the space where she could move around was only about two or three square meters.

Yuyan looked around and cursed in her heart, what a crappy place! Whoever falls in love with this crappy class can join it!

Then she raised her feet and prepared to go home.

At this time, the Hanlin Academy was empty, with only a few scattered lights illuminating the blurry road.

Yuyan was about to leave, but after taking a step forward, she discovered that the original owner had poor eyesight, was nearsighted and had night blindness.

At this moment, the road was dimly lit and blurry, and she couldn't see clearly at all.

Helpless, Yuyan had to turn back and picked up a lantern from the corridor to light herself.

As she walked, Yuyan kept complaining about the original owner's stubbornness.

You have really become stupid from reading too much. If you are asked to be a man, you act like a man. If you are asked to take an exam, you take it. How could a good kid read so much that he became nearsighted?

In ancient times, there were no glasses or anything like that. How could life be convenient? Could you tell a man from a woman within one meter? Really...

Yuyan was walking slowly and carefully along the road towards the palace gate. Just after turning a corner, she unexpectedly bumped into someone's arms.

She was startled and wanted to scream, but then she remembered that this was the palace, so she swallowed the scream back.

It was late at night, and she was just short-sighted, so she felt insecure. After being startled, she quickly withdrew from the man's arms, distanced herself from him, and then looked up.

The person who came was a man. Although his face was a little blurry, he clearly had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He had an extraordinary bearing, and his status seemed to be very noble. He had the powerful aura of a superior.

Yuyan knew this man, Prime Minister Gu Heng, the number one person in the dynasty, with profound knowledge and natural talent. Although his personality seemed gentle and refined, he was actually decisive and ruthless.

At the age of fifteen, Gu Heng won the top three places in the imperial examinations and entered the Hanlin Academy. Later, when the State of Chu invaded, at the age of seventeen, he rushed to the border to serve as a military advisor. He turned the tide with his own strength, causing the State of Chu to lose hundreds of thousands of people and saving the State of Xia from disaster.

In the later period, he also killed many people in the fight for the throne and ensured that the prince would succeed to the throne smoothly.

"…Sorry, Prime Minister Gu, for disturbing you!"

Seeing that she couldn't afford to offend, Yuyan quickly apologized. This was a powerful weapon. She had just arrived and didn't want to be sent away in a minute.

"You are……"

"Your humble servant is the editor of Yu Yan from the Hanlin Academy."

"Yeah." Gu Heng glanced at him, said nothing more, and just walked away.
