This day at the end of November was the day Xie Guangling got married.
Since Yan Cheng had previously mentioned to Emperor Jingxi that he and Xie Guangling were friends for many years, he could go to Xie's house to attend the wedding banquet today instead of going to the study room for classes.
Also traveling with him were the fifth prince, the sixth prince, the seventh prince and the ninth prince. In addition, the eldest prince, the second prince and the third prince who lived outside the palace would also go to Xie's mansion.
A group of princes attending the wedding banquet of a minor scholar can be said to be giving face to Prime Minister Xie.
The brothers are very particular about appearances and plan to arrive on time, but Yan Cheng is not so particular. If he has to pay attention to this and that when attending a friend's wedding banquet, then he will not be the same Yan Cheng as before.
Ever since Yan Cheng became a prince again, the Seventh Prince has always stuck with him inside and outside the palace, and today is no exception.
So Yan Cheng and the Seventh Prince came to Xie Mansion together.
Even though they were amazed by the two people who appeared together at the Qianqiu Festival not long ago, when they saw the two people with similar faces again, they still couldn't take their eyes off them.
The appearance of such a character is already very eye-catching, and with two of them appearing at the same time, who can take their eyes off it?
Before the Qianqiu Festival, some people who had never seen the Seventh and Eighth Princes thought it was too hasty for the royal family to suddenly recognize the Eighth Prince.
After the Qianqiu Festival, all doubts about the Eighth Prince's identity disappeared overnight.
If they weren't twins, how could there be two people in the world with the same peerless beauty?
However, even if they look the same, it is not impossible for people to tell them apart. The dignitaries who participated in this year's Qianqiu Festival all know that the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince have completely different personalities.
The seventh prince is taciturn, likes to have a stern face, and hardly smiles. The eighth prince, perhaps because he grew up outside the palace, has a more lively personality and always smiles obediently.
One is a cold beauty, the other is a warm beauty.
In addition to their personalities, there are also slight differences in their appearance.
The seventh prince had a face as handsome as jade and rosy cheeks, while the eighth prince had a pale complexion and lips. It was said that the eighth prince had contracted a strange disease and was very weak.
Looking at the two young men walking into Xie's house, some people recognized who was who by their facial expressions, and after calculating the time, they found that the two had arrived too early.
What are the Seventh and Eighth Princes doing here so early?
Are you planning to welcome the bride together with Young Master Xie?
They looked curiously at the two young men walking side by side, and then, as expected, they saw the groom hurriedly approaching.
The groom seemed a little melancholy, and the Eighth Prince said something to make him smile. Then the Eighth Prince and the groom went to welcome the bride together.
After the groom rode on the tall horse in front, the eighth prince climbed onto the horse gracefully, holding the reins with both hands, squeezing his legs together, and the horse strode forward.
The groom smiled when he saw this scene, with a hint of tenderness between his brows. His lips moved, and those who were close heard him praising the Eighth Prince for his usual skillful and elegant work on the horse.
It sounds like the Eighth Prince and Xie Guangling are old acquaintances. Xie Guangling would praise the Eighth Prince just for riding a horse.
Some people thought that Xie Guangling was too much of a bootlicker.
Yan Cheng and Xie Guangling had no idea what others were thinking. Although they seemed to be getting along very well, the former was actually full of nervousness and vigilance, while the latter was depressed from the inside out.
Yan Cheng was not unaware of Xie Guangling's melancholy, but since the time had come to prepare for the wedding, he couldn't help Xie Guangling even if he wanted to.
If he helps Xie Guangling, it will be the woman who is ruined.
With years of experience of getting along with each other, he could guess what Xie Guangling was worried about, but he was powerless to do anything.
Xie Guangling did not want to marry the niece of Marquis Haining.
Yan Cheng only found out about this today. After he moved into the palace, the two of them had less time to spend together. In the few times they met before, Xie Guangling had never mentioned his marriage, so he didn't know that Xie Guangling didn't want to get married.
If I had known earlier...
Oh, forget it, there is no such thing as knowing it in advance in this world.
Maybe Xie Guangling doesn't want to get married now, but his mind will change after he gets married?
What Yan Cheng was really worried about was not whether Xie Guangling wanted to get married, but whether the wedding would go smoothly.
In the sequel, the son of the time-traveling woman has a good relationship with the eldest grandson of Prime Minister Xie, and the latter plays a huge role in the former's path to power.
The two met at the latter's wedding. There was a mess at the wedding, and the son of the time-traveling girl helped to solve the mess. Since then, the latter's favorability towards the former has increased.
The novel does mention the real and fake young masters of the Xie family, but the real young master had already died by then, and the fake young master was still the eldest grandson of the Xie family, and the one who married the niece of Marquis Haining was also the fake young master.
In reality, with the help of Yan Cheng, Feng Guang did not die in childhood, but grew up to become Xie Guangling. Naturally, he became a real young master after getting married.
The person who got married had changed, and Yan Cheng was not sure whether the Ninth Prince could resolve the unspecified mess at the wedding. If not, Xie Guangling would be in trouble.
In order to help his friend get married smoothly, Yan Cheng decided to do his best to help.
He was accompanying Xie Guangling, and his people were hiding in Xie's mansion and the wedding procession. Any disturbance could not be ignored.
So far everything has been going as planned, except that his friend's unwillingness to this marriage was a little beyond his expectations.
From Xie's Mansion to Haining Marquis' Mansion, the wedding procession banged on the doorstep all the way, copper coins were scattered all over the ground, and outside Haining Marquis' Mansion, poems urging the bride to get ready were chanted one after another. The bride in a bright red dress was carried into the sedan chair by her brother.
No matter what Xie Guangling was thinking, he still put on a happy smile for the sake of the Xie family's reputation.
But a reluctant fake smile is fake after all, awkward and ugly.
Even Yan Cheng felt uncomfortable. If it were another situation, he would directly ask Xie Guangling why he didn't dissolve the marriage earlier if he was so reluctant.
