Chapter 225 Who said I don’t have a woman I like?
The two returned to the banquet, but this time they didn't whisper to each other. Instead, they stayed there obediently, always keeping an eye on Zhou Lingyi's seat.
Xie Nanyuan, who was sitting on the high platform, finally relaxed his frown when he saw the two men returned safely.
Xie Qian'an sat opposite him and saw that Xie Nanyuan had a stern face. He thought that Xie Nanyuan was sad because he had found a wife with a strong family background, and he couldn't help feeling a little proud.
He sneered, picked up his wine glass, stood up, and said to Xie Nanyuan: "Third brother, my second brother has been granted marriage by our father today. Don't you want to congratulate him?"
Xie Qian'an and Xie Nanyuan were the most eye-catching people here besides the emperor. At this moment, Xie Qian'an was going to drink with Xie Nanyuan, and the attention of people nearby was focused on them, even the emperor looked over here.
Under such circumstances, in front of the emperor, Xie Nanyuan naturally could no longer ignore the other party.
He stood up with a cold face, picked up the wine glass without even looking at Xie Qian'an, said congratulations lightly, and drank it all in one gulp.
He stood up, congratulated, drank, and sat down, all in one go, without even glancing at Xie Qian'an. But he had already expressed his stance and drank, so no one could accuse him of being rude.
Xie Qian'an clenched his grip on the wine glass, and the next moment he laughed.
It's good to be angry. Being angry proves that he made the right move and General Lin was indeed afraid of him.
Xie Qian'an drank the wine in his glass, put it down, and said with a smile: "Now that my second brother's marriage is settled, I wonder if my third brother has a woman he likes?"
"My third brother is about the same age as me, and it's time for him to marry a princess."
Upon hearing this, Xie Nanyuan glanced at him calmly and said, "Second brother's marriage is settled, so just prepare for the wedding. You don't need to worry about my marriage."
Xie Qian'an's smile froze, his expression darkening a bit. He looked at Xie Rong, who was sitting in the upper seat, and said, "Father, do you think what I said makes sense?"
Xie Rong might not get involved in other matters, but this matter is also something Xie Rong is particularly concerned about.
There was no woman in the third son's backyard, not even in his room. Xie Rong was afraid that one day he would hear the news that Xie Nanyuan was having an affair.
Xie Rong nodded quickly, looking at Xie Nanyuan with loving eyes and said, "Yuan'er, your second brother is right about this matter. You are not young anymore. Now that your second brother is getting married, it's time for you to settle down."
"If you don't have a woman you like, how about your father arrange a marriage for you?"
"Yes, third brother, now that my second brother is getting married, I also hope that you can get married soon." Xie Qian'an echoed.
Xie Nanyuan said calmly, "Who said I don't have a woman I like?"
Xie Qian'an's heart skipped a beat.
The reason why he mentioned Xie Nanyuan's marriage just now was to take the opportunity to remind his father that Xie Nanyuan was not capable of great use.
How can a crown prince who is not interested in women and doesn't even know if he will have heirs be able to take on such a heavy responsibility?
However, he didn't expect that Xie Nanyuan would outmaneuver him and actually said that he had a woman he liked.
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Xie Qian'an's mind in an instant.
Could it be that Xie Nanyuan, seeing that he had the support of the Lin family, was afraid that he would surpass him, so he also wanted to find a woman with a good family background?
No way! If it was really as he thought, then wouldn't this move of his be in vain?
Which legitimate daughter did Xie Nanyuan fall in love with?
Unlike Xie Qian'an, although Xie Rong was afraid of Xie Nanyuan's ability, he was still happier at the moment because he was his son after all.
He said cheerfully, "Oh? From what Yuan'er said, you have a girl you like? Whose family is she from?"
"Tell me what you think. If it's suitable, I'll grant you the marriage!"
"Is what father said true?" Xie Nanyuan asked.
Xie Rong was very happy, "Of course it's true."
I just hope that woman’s status isn’t too high.
Xie Nanyuan received the guarantee, but did not say anything. He looked in the direction of Shen Qionghua.
Shen Qionghua was startled and immediately looked away in panic.
Although Shen Qionghua and Luo Xiyao were sitting far away, everyone present fell silent when they talked about Xie Nanyuan's marriage.
The conversation between the emperor and Xie Nanyuan was not as whispered as the one between Shen Qionghua and Luo Xiyao. Most people could hear their conversation.
Luo Xiyao opened her eyes wide, her face flushed with excitement. She quietly moved to Shen Qionghua's side, bumped her shoulder against Shen Qionghua's left shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Qionghua, your cousin won't ask the emperor to grant you a marriage with him, will he?"
Shen Qionghua was also extremely panicked at this moment.
Although her status was not worthy of Xie Nanyuan, the emperor, although he was wary of Xie Nanyuan, still had a fatherly heart towards him. Moreover, her status was not high and she was chosen by Xie Nanyuan himself, which was probably exactly what the emperor wanted.
Shen Qionghua pinched her palms tightly and shook her head gently where no one else could see.
Xie Nanyuan's eyes darkened and he said:
