He said helplessly.
"Why?"
Yan Cheng was confused now.
The Marquis of Haining's Mansion has already fallen into decline, and the girl from the Ying family is not even of the Marquis of Haining's bloodline. Why does Prime Minister Xie insist that Xie Guangling marry her?
"Grandfather said," Xie Guangling avoided Yan Cheng's clear black eyes and looked down at Yan Cheng's collar, "It was the emperor's request."
"Um?"
This was an unexpected answer.
An emperor actually wants to interfere in the marriage of his minister's grandson. It would be fine if he just wanted to interfere, but why did he do it so secretly?
If you really want to promote friendship between the two families, wouldn't it be enough to just issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage?
If Xie Guangling hadn't told him, he wouldn't even know that the marriage between the Xie and Ying families was ordered by Emperor Jingxi, and it would be even less likely for anyone else to know.
Why did Emperor Jingxi insist on letting Xie Guangling marry the girl from the Ying family?
Is there a problem with the Ying family, or is there a problem with the girl from the Ying family?
"My grandfather and I suggested that Xie Mingyun marry her, but he disagreed, saying that marrying her would benefit me and that it wouldn't work at home. So I went to meet the Ying family girl privately.
I told her directly that I didn't want to marry her. I knew that this was irresponsible of me, but I really didn't want to get married. She said it didn't matter. She didn't care whether I accepted her or not. She just wanted to get married as soon as possible and leave that family."
Yan Cheng raised his eyebrows, his tone rising slightly: "And then you agreed to get married?"
Isn’t this a typical marriage-first, love-later routine?
"Hmm? Marriage by agreement?"
Xie Guangling thought for a moment and nodded: "You could say that, she doesn't mind me not accepting her. She said that after we get married, we should each do our own things and not disturb each other. It would be best if we live in peace."
Then they gradually fell in love with each other as they got along.
This is more like a story of marriage first and love later.
Yan Cheng thought to himself, if the story really develops in this way, then the script his friend has got is quite rich. First there is the plot of the real and fake young master, then there is the plot of marriage first and love later, and the next thing should be the escalation of the court, right?
Xie Guangling continued, "I think this is pretty good."
He felt a little depressed about being forced to marry someone he didn't want to marry.
Xie Guangling raised his eyes and glanced at Yan Cheng secretly, but found that Yan Cheng was also looking at him, so he quickly looked away.
Just then I saw a few people walking towards this side, and the hint of embarrassment that had just risen in my heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Yan Cheng also heard footsteps belatedly amid the noisy noise. He turned around and saw that those people were very close to them.
When Yan Cheng saw one of them, his eyelids twitched violently, and a desire to escape surged in his heart.
But someone didn't give him a chance to escape.
"Eighth brother, so you're here. Oh, Xie Guangling is here too. Hmm~ What are you two talking about? You're leaning quite close to each other. So are you sworn brothers?"
Someone stared at them meaningfully, made a hollow circle with one hand, and moved the index finger of the other hand in the hollow circle, speaking in a very loud voice, pretending to be asking casually.
