Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character

The eunuchs of the Imperial Household Department are distributing New Year's gifts to the various palaces.

"Hey, send a few more of these Suzhou embroidery pieces to the Second Prince," the eunuch said in a high-pitched voice.

This imperial concubine is currently in the emperor's favor, so naturally we should try to please her.

Seeing that the princes and princesses in the palace had been divided up, the little eunuch suddenly asked.

"My lord, what about that woman from Ruhui Palace?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yanchen's name, a hint of disdain suddenly appeared on the eunuch's face: "Ruhui Palace?"

He frowned, clutching the remaining coarse silk: "These can still be used, can't they? This garment is so impressive. Find someone to deliver it to him, so that no one will gossip about our Imperial Household Department."

The coarse silk that my father-in-law was holding was a refurbished old material from previous years, and its color was somewhat whitish.

The young eunuch beside him nodded, casually picked up the clothes, and prepared to send them to Ruhui Palace.

Although the clothes weren't anything fancy, Xiao Yanchen was still very happy to receive the new clothes.

Xiao Xizi has new clothes, and he has new clothes too.

The eunuch who brought him the clothes looked at the dilapidated and drafty Ruhui Palace, and then at Xiao Yanchen, who was holding the old cotton-padded coat like a treasure, and sneered.

With the Empress gone, the Seventh Prince is living a worse life than a eunuch like him.

Thinking of this, he straightened his back a little.

As the young eunuch left, several rough eunuchs, reeking of sourness, were hiding in a corner near the entrance of Ruhui Palace, each carrying a wooden bucket.

They were eunuchs from the laundry bureau, doing the most tiring and arduous work in the palace. They often came to steal Xiao Yanchen's things.

They discovered that by bullying this so-called seventh prince, they would not only escape punishment but would also receive praise from their masters.

Just as Xiao Yanchen was about to put away his new clothes, the old wooden door was kicked open.

"Seventh Prince, the clothes of one of our esteemed members have gone missing. Could it be that you took them?!"

Several eunuchs walked in with ill intentions, their eyes immediately fixed on the new clothes in Xiao Yanchen's arms.

To be honest, higher-ranking eunuchs wouldn't even look at clothes made of this material, but for them, the lowest-ranking eunuchs, these clothes were considered a luxury.

Xiao Yanchen clutched the clothes tightly, his eyes red as he looked at them: "I didn't take them! These are new clothes that the Imperial Household Department just sent me!"

But these eunuchs wouldn't listen to him; the next second, they revealed fierce expressions.

"Give it to me!"

"The Imperial Household Department gave these to you? Why would the Imperial Household Department send clothes to such an unfavored prince like you!"

They forcefully snatched the clothes from Xiao Yanchen's arms, cursing as they did so.

Xiao Yanchen's eyes were filled with tears. He bit the other person's hand like a madman, and bit down hard.

The eunuch immediately let out a pig-like scream, yelling and cursing, "Ah! You beast! You ill-mannered little bastard!"

The eunuch's face was contorted with rage. Xiao Yanchen tried to rush forward, but the next second, the eunuch grabbed his hair and kicked him to the ground.

"Go to hell, you little beast!"

Several eunuchs grabbed the items and were about to run away when Xiao Yanchen, disregarding his pain, was determined to show Xiao Xizi his new clothes.

He gritted his teeth and scrambled after them, but he was too young and his steps were too small to catch up with the eunuchs.

He chased them all the way to the Imperial Garden, where the eunuchs who had just stolen his clothes were kneeling on the ground, trembling, while his new clothes were placed in front of them.

The Third Prince held a hand warmer in his hand and looked at Xiao Yanchen who was rushing over, his eyes filled with malice.

"Hey, isn't this Seventh Brother?"

The Third Prince's entourage surrounded Xiao Yanchen.

Xiao Yanchen stood silently in the middle, his fists clenched tightly.

The Third Prince laughed and said, "Seventh Brother, what are you doing, arguing with a few eunuchs?"

The kneeling eunuch's eyes darted around, tears welled up in his eyes, and he began to play the victim: "Third Prince, save us! The Seventh Prince stole the clothes of a nobleman from the Laundry Bureau. We went to get them back, and he beat us!"

Xiao Yanchen gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot: "Nonsense! Those clothes were clearly sent to me by the Imperial Household Department!"

The third prince stood to the side, wearing a black fox fur cloak with a tuft of fur around the collar to keep out the cold. His attendants and guards were also dressed warmly, wearing dark blue cotton armor.

Xiao Yanchen stood in the crowd, several buttons of his thin shirt falling off in the tugging. Cold wind blew in through the gaps in the shirt, making his face red with cold and his fingertips pale.

He was being blown about by the wind, but he still insisted on his point: "That's my clothes!"

The Third Prince scoffed at his appearance, kicking the clothes on the ground with disdain: "Seventh Brother, I'm embarrassed to give clothes of this material to a servant, yet you treat it like a treasure."

The eunuch beside him said sarcastically, "Third Prince, this Seventh Prince's backbone is much thicker than his clothes."

The surrounding attendants burst into laughter, and everyone looked at Xiao Yanchen with mockery.

Xiao Yanchen's face flushed red instantly. He was so angry that his whole body trembled, and his fingertips turned white from clenching his fists so tightly.

Just then, a sharp announcement broke the atmosphere.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

The laughter abruptly stopped.

At the end of the plum grove, a figure in bright yellow slowly approached, and the surrounding eunuchs and attendants immediately knelt on the ground.

Xiao Yanchen was stunned when he saw the person who suddenly appeared. A glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes, and his clenched fist loosened a little.

If his father knew that these people were bullying him like this, would he help him...?

"What happened?"

The emperor's voice was very cold, devoid of any emotion.

The Third Prince lowered his head guiltily. Xiao Shunzi, who was next to him, was trembling like a leaf, but still crawled forward on his knees: "Your Majesty, someone in the laundry department lost some clothes. Someone saw that the Seventh Prince took them..."

His voice grew softer and softer.

Xiao Yanchen's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were red as he stared at the Emperor: "I didn't take it!"

The Emperor didn't even glance at Xiao Yanchen beside him. The lie was obvious at a glance, but such a trivial matter wasn't worth his time.

The Emperor frowned: "Alright, this is ridiculous. What kind of behavior is this, pulling and tugging at each other during the New Year?"

Xiao Yanchen looked at the Emperor in disbelief, his face turning pale instantly.

Why...? Didn't the people in the palace say that Father Emperor was the most wise and benevolent ruler? Why isn't he helping him...?

This is clearly the fault of these eunuchs...

The emperor turned away in disgust and left without looking back, surrounded by all his entourage.

The Third Prince lowered his head, grabbed Xiao Shunzi beside him, and quickly followed.

Xiao Yanchen remained frozen in place, still in the posture of explaining to the Emperor.
