Quickly wear a child, the villain is more favored, who wants the male protagonist?

After the polo match, Zhou Yan rewarded the men who performed well as usual.

At this time, Xia Xizhi's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said

"Your Majesty, Miss Xu just saved my third brother's life. I would like to ask for a reward on her behalf."

Zhou Yan recalled the scene where Xu Liangyu saved Xia Shaoze just now and expressed his agreement.

It is rare to find a woman who is as capable as a man. He admires her and she deserves the appreciation.

"The Queen is right. Miss Xu deserves a reward for her heroic rescue."

"Your Majesty is wise. I thank you on her behalf." Xia Xizhi looked at Xu Liangyu with a smile.

"His Majesty has already said he will reward you. If you have anything you want, please tell him now. Miss Xu saved my brother, so you can also ask me for a reward. Let's have a good start today, and good things come in pairs."

Xu Liangyu stood up and walked to the middle, swept her skirt, and knelt on the ground, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Your humble servant, Xu Liangyu, thanks Your Majesty and Her Majesty for your appreciation. Your humble servant..."

Before he finished speaking, the other members of the Xu family could no longer sit still. The second Xia Xizhi asked Zhou Yan about the reward, they looked at each other excitedly and discussed in a low voice what reward they wanted.

Seeing that she went forward to receive the reward without bringing her family members, the Xu family was very unhappy.

Wen, who was standing next to Xu Liangyu's father, Xu Qi, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, nudged him with her elbow and gave him a look.

Xu Qi nodded and immediately stepped forward to interrupt Xu Liangyu.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the Empress, for your grace. I was able to save the Third Young Master Xia, and it is her great fortune. My filial daughter wishes to give this reward to her mother, Lady Wen, in exchange for the title of Imperial Consort. She also wishes to secure a place in the Imperial Academy for her seven-year-old brother, Xu Rong."

As he spoke, he inadvertently gave Xu Liangyu beside him a threatening look.

A hint of coldness flashed across Xu Liangyu's eyes.

Zhou Yan didn't know that Wen Shi was not Xu Liangyu's biological mother. He thought that she was indeed filial and nodded.

"Who is Wen?"

Fan Shuang immediately stepped forward and knelt beside Xu Qi, unable to suppress her excitement. She was going to become a noble lady!

"Your Majesty, this is your humble servant, Wen."

After replying, Wen Shuang glanced at Xu Liangyu and turned her eyes.

Now that she is threatened by her half-dead mother, she probably dares not resist. It is better to take this opportunity to let her marry Zhao Youcai as soon as possible, otherwise she will always worry that she will take back Liang'er's position as general one day.

Minmin is now of marriageable age, and the money given by the Zhao family as a betrothal gift can be given to Minmin as a dowry.

"Your Majesty, Liangyu is filial, and I, your humble servant, would like to ask for a marriage for him."

"oh?",

Zhou Yan paused. In the past, everyone would ask for the marriage proposal at the end of the dinner, but since this lady had said so, it was not impossible to arrange the marriage in advance. He was also happy to see double happiness.

I just don't know what kind of man the eldest daughter of the Xu family would like...

"Since Miss Xu has someone she likes, I am also happy to see double happiness. I wonder which family this young man is from?"

Wen Shuang smiled and said,

"Liangyu and Lord Zhao, the head of the Imperial Household Department, are in love, but Lord Zhao is unwell today and cannot attend the flower viewing banquet. I, your humble servant, would like to ask for a marriage between her and Lord Zhao. Liangyu, is that right?"

Xu Liangyu sneered and looked at Xu Qi and Wen Shuang as if he was watching a show.

Seeing this, Xia Xizhi did not interrupt immediately. He sneered and continued to watch the show. The more fun this family had, the more miserable they would become... He just wanted to let them make trouble.

Xu Qi looked at Xu Liangyu's sneer and his expression darkened.

"Liangyu, your mother is asking you a question, why don't you answer? When did you become so rude?"

Zhou Yan paused and frowned slightly. He knew that he was the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department.

That man is nearly forty years old, right?

Everyone around was stunned. Someone whispered in disbelief,

"Three people in Zhao Youcai's family have died. They say he's unlucky with wives. Besides, he's already nearly 40 years old. He can be Miss Xu's father, right? And Miss Xu and he are in love? How is that possible..."

"Nonsense! How could Miss Xu, such a heroic, beautiful, and capable woman, possibly like an old man who looks like a pig? Your Majesty, Wen is not Miss Xu's biological mother!"

Xia Shaoze stood up angrily, his face full of anger.

The girl who had mistaken Xu Liangyu for a man before also shouted,

"So it's my stepmother, no wonder! How could a woman like Miss Xu like someone who could be her father? You are such a wicked stepmother!"

"Are you still in love?" The girl made a vomiting gesture.

"Miss Xu is in love with an old man who could be her father. Is her family kidding me? This vicious woman and her vicious father must be threatening Miss Xu!"

The maid beside the girl quickly pulled her clothes.

"Miss! Be careful with your words and actions! Madam will definitely punish you when we get back!"

"Tsk, I'll be punished if I want. The worst that can happen is I'll have to kneel in the ancestral hall. Even if you punish me, I'll tell the truth." The girl disagreed.

When the others heard what the two said, their eyes changed when they looked at Wen.

A woman's marriage is a lifelong event. This Wen is too vicious...

"What's wrong with the Xu family? The stepmother is vicious. Minister Xu is her biological father, so why does he follow his stepmother in doing evil? After all, she is his biological daughter. Isn't this just pushing her into the fire pit..."

Someone suddenly said,

"Stepmother? Why do I remember that this Wen was a concubine before? Did she promote the concubine to wife? Then what about the original Madam Xu?"

"Yes, I seem to remember that she was a concubine..."

Wen's face suddenly darkened. She hated it most when people mentioned that she was once a concubine...

Gritting his teeth, he said quickly,

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my daughter Liangyu is indeed in love with Lord Zhao. I did not lie. Although I am not Liangyu's biological mother, I am better than her. Liangyu's mother was bedridden all year round, and I have taken care of her since she was a child. I and the Xu family have never treated her unfairly. Liangyu, do you agree?"

Wen glanced at Xu Liangyu with a threatening look, and Xu Liangyu's face became even colder.

Thinking of what someone had just told her, Xu Liangyu narrowed her eyes.

Someone just came to tell her that her mother had been rescued, and that she didn't need to worry about her mother's life-saving medicine...

Xu Liangyu raised his eyes and looked at Xia Xizhi, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, his eyes deepened.

She inexplicably felt that it was the queen who did it.

What is her purpose?

Threaten her with her mother?

What's the point of threatening her?

Unless it's not a threat, but a solicitation.

Perhaps she knew that the real major general of the Xu family was not Xu Liang but her, and she was impressed by her ability to lead troops.

Then her ultimate goal can only be...

Xu Liangyu looked at Xia Xizhi with an even deeper look in his eyes.

Everyone said that the eldest daughter of the Xia family was a spoiled fool, but no matter how she looked at her, she didn't look like a fool at all. She was worthy of being a member of the Xia family... None of them were simple.

......

"Sister, please say something! Do you want everyone to misunderstand mother?" Xu Liang stood up and spoke when he saw this.

"Yes, sister, you were supposed to marry Lord Zhao, so just admit it. Besides, Lord Zhao, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, is a good match for you, so you're marrying above your station." Xu Minmin also said, her eyes showing a gloating look.

Anyway, for the sake of her useless mother, she didn't dare to refute whatever they said. A look of satisfaction flashed in Xu Minmin's eyes.

When she was a child, she was a concubine's daughter. She was extremely jealous of Xu Liangyu, the legitimate daughter. Although her mother had long been promoted to a concubine and she also became a legitimate daughter, Xu Liangyu still had the aloof look that kept strangers away.

There is no one left in her mother's family, why is she pretending!

She is about to marry an old man who has been married three times. Let’s see how she can pretend to be noble in the future!
