It was not known whether Wen Chao really did not understand or was pretending not to understand, but he kept saying that he would give it to Xia Zhi.
Seeing that he was still chattering, Xia Zhiliao had made up her mind that she absolutely did not want it.
If you don't want it, can he force it on you?
Wen Yan did not take the lead, but his performance also surprised everyone.
Xia Zhiliao knew that he no longer intended to hide his incompetence.
Apart from Emperor Shunde, the person who hunted the most was the second prince Wen Chun, and naturally he received the best reward. He said he would take the animals back for his wife and children, acting like a good husband and a good father.
Moreover, ever since the last incident with Su Qinjun, he has not had any candidate for a concubine. Today, he was praised by Emperor Shunde in front of everyone, and many young ladies looked at him differently.
Lu Ruoyan was eager to try, and Mrs. Lu also hoped that her daughter could have a good home.
Lu Seyan was unmoved, not to mention Su Qinjun's incident, which showed how cold-hearted she was.
The person second only to Wen Chun was Wen Yan, which no one had expected. He was usually quiet and even a little weak, and he always came last in previous hunting trips.
Many people are skeptical about his achievements today.
Xia Zhi knew what was going on, but it was not her turn to speak here.
"Third brother, Eighth brother must have practiced hard. I believe in his character. How could he cheat?"
Wen Chun stepped forward to help Wen Yan out.
He seemed to be a gentle and kind brother, protecting his younger brother, but Xia Zhiliao didn't dare to imagine what kind of thoughts were hidden under the mask.
Wen Ting was a person who loved to stand out, so he accepted being ranked behind Wen Chun. After all, if his second brother had not been born a few months later than the crown prince, the position of crown prince might have been his from the beginning.
However, he was not as good as Wen Yan, and he was not convinced.
"Second brother is right. How about we brothers have another competition? It's rare for father to have such a refined interest, even if we don't just hunt."
Wen Chun smiled faintly, taking it calmly, "Eighth brother, what do you think?"
It seemed that he was asking for Wen Yan's opinion, but if he really wanted to help Wen Yan, he could have simply refused. It was clear that he actually had doubts in his heart.
Wen Yan looked at his brothers and asked, "Why don't you ask our father what he thinks?"
"Father won't object!" Wen Ting said.
Wen Yan smiled and said, "If the emperor agrees, then I have no objection, but can you wait for me to give the reward to someone first?"
"Who is it for?" Wen Chun asked curiously, "Which lady are you planning to give it to, Eighth Brother?"
However, when Wen Yan took the reward and walked towards Xia Zhiliao, who was still looking at the sun to determine the time, not only the princes but even the young ladies had strange expressions.
Wen Chun's eyes flashed a few times, and a feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart.
This kid actually came to sneakily attack me.
Xia Zhiliao didn't notice the person walking towards her at all. She was really hungry and wanted to eat hot rice. After eating the beef jerky, her jaw was sore from the pain.
It was only when Xia Hai pushed her that she saw Wen Yan standing in front of her holding the reward he had just received.
No matter how stupid she was, she knew what it meant. Wen Yan was not an unreliable person, and he definitely wasn't showing off the reward to her.
There is absolutely no need for that.
"Cicada, I'll give it to you."
Even though she knew what he meant, Xia Zhiliao couldn't help but stare at him after hearing him say it in person.
"Take it quickly, there are so many people watching. If you don't take it, I will lose face!"
Xia Zhiliao looked at Wen Yan, thinking that this was a form of moral kidnapping.
"I...I want..."
She wanted to say what do I want it for.
But Wen Yan is a very cunning guy. He looks honest, but if you think about it, in the novel, he is just a black-bellied guy who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger, and knows how to hide his incompetence.
"I'll give them all to you if you want them." Wen Yan said and handed them all to her.
Seeing this, how could Wen Chao show weakness? "I'll give you mine too. See, I'm not the only one who knows that you're greedy for money."
Although Wen Chao was a little silly, it must be said that he still saved the situation.
Xia Zhiliao smiled awkwardly, and then she really kept it.
If you accept one person, people will think too much about you, but if you accept two people, it will be different.
It’s even more different if you take in three people.
Xia Zhiliao noticed that Wen Chun's eyes were always on him, and knew that he was not holding his fart well, so he thought of outwitting him first.
"Second Prince, are you going to give me some too? You have a lot. If you give it to me, I will be rich."
Xia Zhiliao is just a little girl. No one would laugh at her for openly talking about her love for money. Instead, everyone would think she is cute.
Wen Chun didn't care about rewards or not. What he wanted was to be better than his brothers.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Xia Zhiliao smiled and said, "You are joking. You are going to give it to Princess Rui and the little princess. I dare not take it."
Seeing this, the other princes who had received rewards came to Xia Zhile without her naming them.
Xia Zhiliao was in high spirits. Compared to those people, she was the one who had returned with a full load.
Since Concubine Liang was pregnant, she was replaced by Concubine Li. She was indeed beautiful, with a charming figure, especially when she walked, her breasts were full of waves.
Not to mention men, even Xia Zhiliao is envious.
I don’t know whether my body will be shriveled or plump when I grow up.
Lady Li chuckled and said, "Your Majesty."
When she said this, not only Emperor Shunde, but even Xia Zhiliao felt half of her body go limp.
"If you ask me, the biggest winner today should be the county lady. Look at her, she has gained a lot without firing a single arrow. I am really envious of her."
Xia Zhiliao smiled at her, and Concubine Li smiled back.
Maybe she didn't feel threatened, after all, Xia Zhiliao was still a child.
"What are you envious of? Isn't the reward I gave you enough?"
"How can they be the same?" said Lady Li in a tender voice.
Emperor Shunde smiled and said, "Those were obtained by the princes. They can give them to whoever they want. This also shows that Zhiliao is popular."
"Who says it's not true? The young county lady is smart and lovely. If I have any reward, I will give it to her."
Emperor Shunde laughed, "Are you asking me for a reward?"
"Your Majesty, what's the point of asking? I also want to win."
"Win? Do you want to go hunting in the mountains too?"
"Is it okay?" Lady Li smiled brightly.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let the women go hunting as well and have a competition?"
Among the crowd, Lu Ruoyan's voice was particularly loud.
Mrs. Lu glanced at her, but Lu Ruoyan didn't take it seriously. She had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Some were excited about her proposal, while others despised it.
The excited ones were the daughters of military commanders, who were also proficient in riding and shooting, and naturally wanted to show off their skills. Those who looked down on them were the young ladies in the boudoir, who thought it was not good enough.
Lu Ruoyan doesn't care what others think. No one can stop her from being in the limelight.
