After Placing First in the Imperial Exams, I Discovered I'm the Emperor's Younger Uncle

After years of hard study, Ji Yanxing finally made it to the capital at eighteen.

He was the late-born son of Landowner Ji. When his father was fifty, he took an eighteen-year-old wife, who gave birth to Ji Yanxing, ensuring that the Ji family had an heir.

But the old man died before Ji Yanxing could grow up. Fortunately, the Ji family was wealthy enough to pay for his studies and keep him well fed and clothed.

He also lived up to expectations, passing the imperial examinations as the top scholar at eighteen. Then, during the palace examination, he realized the emperor seemed to have a special interest in him.

"No wonder a nephew takes after his uncle. You're my little uncle!"

Ji Yanxing: ??? How are we alike?

So he had an older sister who was now the Empress Dowager, and the emperor sitting on the throne, seven years older than him, was his nephew?

Well, in that case, he could practically do as he pleased in the capital.

Tremble, corrupt officials! The righteous young imperial uncle is here to protect his kids!
