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

As soon as Xia Shaoze left the house, he saw Xu Liangyu standing under a big tree not far away, and he suddenly couldn't walk.

Her Royal Guards uniform really suits her...

Just as he was stunned, Xu Liangyu walked towards him.

"Xia Sinong, I apologize for disturbing you. I have limited free time, so I wanted to come to the Xia Mansion to ask someone to inform me about my visit. I didn't expect to run into you at the door. I have something to ask Xia Sinong, so I'll just have to excuse you for a moment."

Xia Shaoze didn't notice what she said at all, his eyes were all on the slap mark on her face.

"What's wrong with your face?"

Xu Liangyu paused.

"Nothing, I came here today because I want to ask Xia Sinong something."

"What?",

Xia Shaoze was puzzled.

"I want to ask, those people in the Xu family have had diarrhea for a few days. Was it Xia Sinong's fault?" Xu Liangyu said directly.

Xia Shaoze quickly denied it.

"No, it's not."

Although he shook his head to deny it, his guilty look betrayed him. Xu Liangyu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Oh, why did Xia Sinong help me? Are you..."

Xia Shaoze answered in one second.

"I'm just repaying you for saving my life. Don't think too much about it."

Xu Liangyu smiled.

"It was you who did it."

This little fool came out as soon as he was tricked.

Xia Shaoze was stunned and immediately blushed in frustration.

This woman is so cunning, damn it.

Xu Liangyu sighed and said,

"You hold an official position. Don't do these things anymore. Making them have diarrhea won't be a fatal blow to them. On the contrary, if someone catches you, it will affect your position. It's not worth doing something with high risks and low rewards. I can handle my own affairs."

This made Xia Shaoze suddenly feel stupid. His ears turned red, like a child being scolded by his parents.

"okay, I get it."

He really is good for nothing except farming... She must dislike him, right?

Xu Liangyu smiled and patted his shoulder.

"But I still want to thank you. I received your kindness. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to contact me."

"By the way, has anyone ever told you that you look very pretty? Especially when you wear red clothes."

.......

Xu Liangyu had been gone for a long time, but Xia Shaoze was still standing there grinning foolishly...

She said red clothes look good?

He still has several red clothes, he can change them in the future...

"Third brother, are you considering whether to kneel?"

Xia Shaoze stumbled and almost fell to the ground when Xia Shaoshi suddenly made a teasing sound. He turned around and complained,

"Second brother! Please stop scaring me!"

At this moment, a small guard came running over to report to Xia Shaoze.

"Master, Miss Xu was slapped by her pedantic mother, who also called her unfilial. And she wants to go back to that den of wolves that is the Xu family! It's so infuriating!"

A trace of heartache flashed across Xia Shaoze's eyes. No wonder there were slap marks on her face.

"There's actually a mother like this! What's her mother thinking? Doesn't she even consider her own daughter? She only cares about the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. Her husband almost married her daughter off to that pervert, and yet she insisted on going back!"

Xia Shaoze frowned.

"No, we have to find a way..."

Xia Shaoshi fanned himself, his eyes turned, and he raised his lips and said,

"I have a plan for dealing with this old pedant."

"What's the plan?"

Xia Shaoshi lowered his voice and whispered a few words in his ear, and Xia Shaoze's eyes gradually brightened...

"Okay, let's do it!"

......

Jiaofang Hall.

"Xizhi, the national treasury is empty these days, and the harem's inner treasury is running low. Even my mother's bedroom is out of ice. I'm truly unfilial and ashamed of my mother. I have no other choice. Xizhi, could you please tell your father and brother that the Xia family is wealthy, and it shouldn't be difficult for them to contribute hundreds of thousands of silver taels..."

Zhou Yan spoke with an embarrassed look on his face.

His life as an emperor was truly frustrating. Disasters of varying magnitude had plagued him since he took office, border harassment was frequent, and tax revenue was completely insufficient. His own industry hadn't developed, and now he worried about money every day.

Zhang Xiuchun went directly to the imperial study to find him today and said that the money in the harem was not enough. Only then did he realize that the inner treasury was also empty.

Xia Xizhi smiled inwardly. He stopped pretending and just asked for it directly.

Fortunately, she was prepared.

Xia Xizhi smiled and said,

"Your Majesty, please don't worry. I have already given all the banknotes I have to my father, and asked him to take out all the money in the mansion to help with the disaster relief."

Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, then frowned and spoke in a somewhat anxious tone.

"When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me?"

Looking at his expression, Xia Xizhi sneered calmly, pretending to be innocent.

"It happened early this morning. Father sent me a message saying that I have already left."

As he spoke, Xia Xizhi suddenly sighed again.

"Alas, the Prime Minister's Mansion may seem wealthy, but when the time comes, it only has a few hundred thousand taels of silver. Fortunately, it should be enough to support the victims of this disaster."

"But the harem can only increase income and reduce expenditure for the time being. Your Majesty, please don't worry too much. Even if the harem is poor, I think it's better than the suffering people outside. We concubines can endure it. It's just that it's a bit hot in this hot weather, and without ice, it's really unbearable. I'm sorry to trouble my mother."

Only then did Zhou Yan realize that Xia Xizhi's room was indeed a little hot, and there was not a single piece of ice in the ice basin in the room.

Having said that, Zhou Yan swallowed back what he wanted to say.

But he always felt it was strange, why didn't Xizhi go through his hands when he asked his family for money...

Zhou Yan's face didn't look very good.

"Donations to disaster victims are best made through the imperial court. If something like this happens again, it would be prudent for Xizhi to discuss it with me first."

"Yes, I understand. I just want to share your worries..."

Xia Xizhi pretended to be stunned for a moment, then bit her lip, pretending to be a little aggrieved and lonely.

"I don't mean to say anything bad about you, but the palace has its own rules. Concubines must get my permission before spreading news to the outside world. I'm afraid that if this rule is broken, it will be difficult to manage the harem with too many people in the future."

As he spoke, Zhou Yan took out an exquisite bracelet from his arms, took Xia Xizhi's hand and put it on her.

"This is the blood jade and gold bracelet that Goryeo sent as tribute this year. It's of excellent quality. I know Xizhi likes it, so I brought it to you."

The moment Xia Xizhi put the bracelet on her hand, she could smell the musky scent inside...

Sneer inwardly.

She is indeed an ungrateful person. One second he asked her to donate money and the next second he made her wear sterilization clothes.

If she couldn't do that right now, she would have wanted to stand up and kick him to death!

Coincidentally, she also prepared something...

Xia Xizhi thanked him shyly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty... I also have something for Your Majesty."

Xia Xizhi took out a sachet and gave it to Zhou Yan, shyly and timidly.

"Your Majesty, this is a sachet I embroidered myself. I hope Your Majesty will not dislike it."

Zhou Yan paused. Xizhi had always been spoiled, and this was the first time she had personally embroidered something for him.

While feeling surprised, he glanced at the bracelet and felt a little guilty.

There was no way he could give her a child.

However, he can pamper her more in the future.

"Your Majesty, don't you like it? If you don't like it, forget it..."

Xia Xizhi pretended to be disappointed and was about to take it back, but Zhou Yan took it away.

He tied it directly on his body and said with a smile,

"I don't mind. This is the first time Xizhi has made something for me personally. I like it very much."

When Zhou Yan touched Xia Xizhi's soft fingertips, his eyes suddenly changed. His body was agitated, causing him to tighten his grip on Xia Xizhi's hand. His voice became slightly hoarse.

"Xizhi, Brother Yan will rest here with you tonight."
