章節 139: A 'Pleasant' Surprise
The grubby piece of parchment slipped from Yan Zheyun's listless fingers and back onto the mahogany top of his study desk.

Queeniecat (1) In certain dynasties, it was the rule that those who were ugly, disabled or behaved without decorum (for example, needing to go to the bathroom for a number 2 during the imperial examination) were not allowed to be officials or ministers.

A/N: Thank you very much for reading, the gifts, comments, golden tickets and power stones! <3 These couple of chapters have been longer than usual and this one today comparatively lighthearted, so I hope that has been some reprieve from the heavy stuff. We're soon heading towards a big important occasion for Yan Zheyun!
