Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions

Chapter 92 The First Beauty Who Became a Substitute Bride (8)

The crowd's expressions changed, and they all knelt down, shouting, "Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!" The palace servants lowered their heads, not daring to breathe, for fear of inadvertently angering the Emperor.

Startled, the second and third princes quickly knelt down and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Father Emperor." Their voices were tinged with nervousness, wondering why their father had suddenly appeared.

Xie Yanhuai stared wide-eyed at the man before him; this was his father, the Emperor....

His eyes were filled with doubt and confusion.

The man before them was dressed in a dragon robe and wore a crown, exuding an aura of majesty.

However, Xie Yanhuai could not feel any warmth of kinship from the way this person looked at him. A complex emotion welled up in his heart, including resentment, disappointment, and a trace of longing.

He longed for this man to give him a little care, a little protection, or even just a look of affirmation, but he knew that this might just be wishful thinking.

The Emperor's gaze swept past Xie Yanhuai, then fell upon the Second and Third Princes, and he rebuked them, "Outrageous! How dare you two, as princes, publicly humiliate your servants! What kind of behavior is this!"

Everyone was shocked. Servants? The Emperor didn't even recognize the Fifth Prince. Sure enough, the Fifth Prince was not favored by the Emperor.

Xie Yanhuai stared wide-eyed at the man before him, his fists clenched, a wave of pity rising from the depths of his heart.

Turns out he didn't even know who he was! Haha, what a father!

Xie Yanhuai chuckled self-deprecatingly. The Emperor's gaze shifted to Xie Yanhuai, his brows furrowing in displeasure.

"Why are you laughing?"

Xie Yanhuai looked up at the Emperor, his eyes full of mockery. "I laugh at the fact that there is such a heartless father in this world, who doesn't even recognize his own son." His voice was filled with anger.

The palace servants were so shocked that they all knelt down, not daring to utter a sound.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor was startled. "Could this child be the bastard child born to that lowly palace maid?"

The emperor felt disgusted just thinking about that palace maid, because she was utterly repulsive in appearance, yet she had dared to take advantage of his drunkenness and climb into his bed.

When he opened his eyes the next morning, he was so shocked by the appearance of the palace maid that he almost killed her on the spot.

However, out of consideration for the royal family's reputation, he ultimately held back. But from then on, he was filled with disgust for this unexpected product—Xie Yanhuai—so much so that he never saw him after his birth.

In the Emperor's mind, Xie Yanhuai's existence was a stain, a shameful mark reminding him of the mistakes he had made.

I never expected the child to have grown so big. Looking at his appearance, he doesn't resemble that palace maid at all; on the contrary, he looks exactly like him when he was young.

The emperor felt a moment of tenderness and guilt, but this was quickly replaced by displeasure.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xie Yanhuai's question was a slap in the face to him. Even if he ignored him, so what? He was the emperor and could not tolerate others' opinions.

The emperor's face darkened, and he angrily rebuked, "How dare you! How dare you speak to me like that!"

His voice boomed like thunder, filled with authority and fury. Those around him trembled with fear, not daring to utter a sound.

Xie Yanhuai, however, was not afraid at all. He straightened his back, his eyes still filled with stubbornness and anger.

"Since Your Majesty does not acknowledge me as your son, why should you care about my words?" His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

The second and third princes exchanged a glance and smiled gloatingly. This fool is courting death.

The Emperor trembled with rage at Xie Yanhuai's words. He pointed at Xie Yanhuai and roared, "You unfilial son, I will teach you a lesson today!" With that, he waved his hand, signaling the guards to seize Xie Yanhuai.

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

Everyone turned to look and saw a general in armor walking out.

He knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince is young and ignorant. Please forgive his sins."

The Emperor looked at the general, his expression softening slightly. He remained silent for a moment.

"This brat spoke disrespectfully to me. I can forgive him this time because of his young age, but he has been uneducated since childhood, and his character really needs to be tempered." The Emperor's eyes revealed a hint of sternness.

The general nodded. “Your Majesty is right. I think the Fifth Prince is full of spirit and is suitable for military training. If he can be properly trained, he will surely become a great man in the future.”

The Emperor frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Very well, let him go to the army to gain experience. If he can grow, it will not have been in vain for my expectations of him."

The Emperor looked at Xie Yanhuai and asked for the first time, "What is your name?"

Xie Yanhuai looked directly at the Emperor and slowly said, "Your Majesty, my name is... Xie Yanhuai."

Xie Yanhuai... This name, like the man himself, is truly unpleasant.

The Emperor waved his hand and said, "Very well, Xie Yanhuai. I hope you will train hard in the army and not disappoint my expectations."

The Emperor turned to look at the two princes who were still kneeling on the ground, and snorted coldly, "You two should go and copy the palace rules one hundred times, and you will be fined three months' salary. In addition, you should stay in the palace and reflect on your mistakes. You can come out when you have repented."

"Yes, Father."

After the Emperor left, the two princes stood up, came to Xie Yanhuai, and mocked, "So you have a name, Xie Yanhuai. What a good name, it suits you."

"Don't think that going to the military camp will turn your life around. Be careful, you might go there alive but not come back alive."

"Ugh, I'm so angry!" Tuanzi jumped up and down in the space, furious. "Those two are so wicked! And this Emperor, Xie Yanhuai is his own son, yet he's completely ignored him!"

It was clearly their fault, yet Xie Yanhuai was sent to the military camp, while they only received a minor punishment. That's so unfair!

Shen Chumo crossed his arms and looked at Xie Yanhuai's still bleeding face. There was no fear in his eyes, but rather a raging fire.

Time continued to accelerate, and after Xie Yanhuai went to the army, he quickly adapted to the harsh environment.

They get up before dawn every day to train, enduring hardship without ever complaining.

In the army, he gradually distinguished himself with his tenacious perseverance and extraordinary courage. A year later, he went to the border to fight the enemy.

In battle after battle, he always charged ahead, fearless of powerful enemies, and fought bravely. His performance earned him the respect and admiration of his comrades and also attracted the attention of his superiors.

As time went on, Xie Yanhuai's status in the army rose higher and higher.

He was no longer the prince who was easily bullied, but a formidable soldier. His eyes held a newfound determination and confidence, and he exuded an aura of blood and guts forged through countless battles.

With each victory on the border, the emperor paid more and more attention to Xie Yanhuai, and the other four princes gradually became restless.
