Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

The Emperor looked at the commander in front of him with a stoic expression. He almost looked as if he was searching for something. Then, his serious expression naturally broke into a smile as warm as the summer sun.

“The commander can come over.” He liked the title better than Wen Jinkai. A commander. A hero. He was a man cherished and praised by the whole nation. The emperor was proud as any father would be.

Wen Jinkai walked past the guard at the staircase without saying a word. He walked up the stairs with a confidence that no one could match.

"You look fine," the emperor said when Wen Jinkai was within arm's length of him.

Wen Jinkai did not respond, but the slight curl of his left lip was enough to show that he had heard what the emperor said.

The commander rarely smiled, and no one saw a gentle expression on his face. Having grown up on the battlefield, killing countless people without flinching, his soul was bleak and black.

Despite the royal family's love for him, his face rarely showed a satisfied expression. It was the neglect he suffered in his childhood that made the queen generously extend a helping hand to him.

"How was the battle near Yijing?" the Emperor asked. He didn't really care about the battle, he just wanted to listen to the quiet Wenjin Kaido.

"We won," Wen Jinkai said briefly. His voice was rough and deep, and these two simple words made people hear the majesty and dominance he exuded.

A slow smile spread across the Emperor's face. "That's always nice to hear." He motioned for his advisor to come forward, and the grey-haired man did so immediately. After a few whispers, the advisor disappeared into the shadows at a speed that was unbelievable for his age.

In fact, the emperor had already heard of the magnificent outcome of the battle.

Enemy soldiers were slaughtered. No one stood a chance as the commander swaggered into battle on his fearsome warhorse. It took more than brute force to win this battle. A well-thought-out strategy was in place, and battle formations were unpredictable.

"My dear child, you haven't come to greet me yet," the queen said gently.

Although her tone seemed to be criticizing him, the loving smile on her face showed that it was not the case. Her mood was originally at its lowest point, but it soared to the extreme in front of him.

Since Wen Jinkai had been without a biological mother since childhood, the queen raised him as her own son, and he eventually found a good place in her heart.

He stood on the queen's side more than the emperor did, which made the queen love and pamper him more than anyone else.

Duke Wen Xuan treated all his children with love, except for his eldest son. No one questioned his parenting style, especially when they learned that Wen Jinkai's birth led to the death of his beloved first wife. Rumor has it that twenty years later, he still hasn't gotten over the death.

The Queen took Wen in and treated him like her own son. She was close friends with Wen's mother, the late Duchess Yeh. She will never forget the image of a lonely boy standing by a tree, watching his family interacting happily while he stood outside like an outcast.

Wen Jinkai turned his head and looked at the queen. His cold expression softened a little.

"I saved the best for last." He walked up to the Queen, clasped his fists, and bowed to her, a level lower than he had bowed to the Emperor.

If it were anyone else, the emperor would have felt insulted and angry, but he didn't. On the contrary, he felt a little grateful to Commander Wen Jinkai.

All the concubines were present today, and the queen looked down on them. She always controlled her emotions and ruled the harem with an iron fist, but this could not eliminate the hatred deep in her heart. This morning, when she heard the rumor that the emperor was going to marry again, her mood turned bad.

But after hearing Wen Jinkai's words, the queen's mood improved significantly, and a sincere smile appeared on her lips.

"You've lost your baby face," the Queen said softly, placing a gentle hand on his face.

"I never had a baby face," he said briefly, causing the Emperor and Empress to chuckle.

"Of course not, dear child," the Queen said, a faint smile in her eyes. They were filled with love and admiration for the Commander, and it even began to make her own sons very jealous.

Their mother dotes on them very much but anyone would feel jealous when their mother showers the same love on another son who is not even her biological son.

"Hmm..." A light voice sounded from the right side of the queen.

The Queen turned her head towards the little voice that sounded like a beautiful bell.

That was her second daughter, the famous Second Princess of Wuyi. It was understandable that she was the Queen Mother's favorite granddaughter.

With her peach-like beauty and eyes full of expression and adoration, she is the definition of perfection.

"Welcome, welcome home, Jincai." The princess blushed shyly and said softly. She gently put away her Hanfu and bowed to him. She raised her head hopefully, and her smile bloomed only for him.
