Chapter Seventy-Four: Family Interests (I)
In the morning, the Imperial Prime Minister's Palace.
"Smack!"
A crisp slap came out clearly from Prime Minister Rongte's study.
"You...... Are you trying to me off?Xue Ya!" Chancellor Rong Te stood at his desk and scolded his granddaughter loudly, and it was the first time he was so excited and angry.
And covering her slightly red cheeks, Xue Ya stubbornly lowered her head at this time, but the tears still kept flowing.
At this time, the atmosphere in this room full of wine was extremely depressing.
And all this is because Prime Minister Rongte wants Xue Yaxia to marry Hua Long, the eldest son of Count Aonno, originally Prime Minister Rongte wanted to wait for Xue Ya to graduate later and then tell her about it, but now it can't be, because the rise of the Xilie family where Aonno is located has been unstoppable, especially today in the court, when His Majesty the Emperor appointed Na Huayun as the commander of ten thousand masters, his eyes turned to him and Marshal Ron from time to time, the meaning is completely self-evident, that is declaring war on their two forces, if he is still sitting still at this time, then what awaits him in the Prime Minister's Mansion is likely to be a catastrophe。
Therefore, he must take precautions! And the fastest and best way is undoubtedly to announce the marriage of Xue Ya and Hua Long, even if it is just the engagement first, it can make the wind of Count Onno deflect.
At this time, outside the room, the Marquis of Kefer who was waiting there and Xueya's mother, Countess Qiusiya, also showed a helpless expression.
"By the way, is that Hualong really the same as the rumors?" When Xueya's mother learned that her father was going to marry Xueya to that Hualong, she was also so surprised that she couldn't speak for a long time. She couldn't understand why so many noble fathers didn't choose, but chose to marry Xue Ya to the useless Hualong.
It is not difficult to see from the face of Countess Qiu Siya that it is better to let Xue Ya marry that Hua Long than to marry a nobleman without a title, at least she will be less ridiculed.
"Rumors?" the Marquis of Kefer was stunned for a moment, he did not hear the countess clearly. Because of the matter of the Moon Spirit Grand Canal, Kefer has no heart to think about anything else at the moment.
"Yes, it's that Hua Long!" Countess Tyusia looked around, and then whispered, "I've heard that he looks like a pig, and that he is stupid, and some people even say that he is congenitally retarded, and likes to play with flowers and plants." ”
Listening to the Countess's tone, it seems that she has a deep misunderstanding of Hua Long, but the strange thing is, where did these rumors come from?
The Marquis of Kefer was also cautious, after all, it was not a good thing to secretly investigate the son of the Earl of Auno, and after a while, he took out a pencil sketch of the character and handed it to the countess, "I think you may only be right, that is, he does like to play with flowers and plants, but he is not mentally retarded, and he is not ugly!"
When the sketch unfolded in front of the countess, her eyes lit up.
"Is this Hua Long?" the countess couldn't believe it, because the man in the sketchbook was handsome, but his eyes were a little glazed. This is completely different from the countess's impression of Hualong, so it was difficult for her to accept it for a while.
"Yes, I asked someone to ask someone from the Imperial Women's Academy to draw it!" Marquis Kefer nodded solemnly, "His appearance is much more handsome than Hua Yun, and he is also very honest, he has no bad habits, he just likes to raise flowers and plants!"
The Marquis of Kefer was convinced of the information he had discovered, after all, the person he had entrusted was very reliable, and he had confirmed it with the old lady of the dean of the Imperial Women's College afterwards.
"So?" looked at the sketch in her hand again, even the countess's cheeks were a little red, and her tone suddenly softened a lot: "It's actually not bad to be able to marry such a person!"
"Huh?" Seeing the Countess's somewhat 'complaining' appearance of this, the Marquis of Kefer was suddenly a little dumbfounded, he had never seen the Countess have such a side.
And noticing the gaze of the Marquis of Kefel, the countess suddenly chuckled a little embarrassed, "Don't get me wrong, I mean it's actually good for Xue Ya to marry such a person, what do you say?"
"Yes, yes!" replied the Marquis of Kefer.
In the study.
"I know you don't like that Hua Long, but you have to understand your identity!" Prime Minister Rong Te said earnestly: "You are the eldest granddaughter of our Nicholas family, and you will inherit the family in the future!"
"Yes...... But why is it him?" Xue Ya still kept her head down and kept crying, although she also understood the sorrow of aristocratic marriage, but she never thought that she would marry the person she hated the most, the guy who was called an idiot by everyone.
At this moment, Xue Ya could even imagine those young ladies laughing at her faces.
Prime Minister Rongte sighed slightly, and said, "I have three good reasons for you to marry Hua Long, if you can refute me, then I will never mention this matter again, and vice versa, you are the same, how about it?"
"Really?" asked Xue Ya hurriedly.
"Really!" Looking at the glimmer of hope on his granddaughter's tear-stained face, Prime Minister Rongte recalled his own marriage back then.
There has always been no love in the marriage of the aristocracy, there is only interest and power.
"Okay, I promise!" Xue Ya couldn't wait to agree.
"Okay, listen up, my first reason is that looking at the entire Cold Moon Empire, the only nobles with power and wealth are the Xilie family, you-want to refute?"
Xue Ya was stunned for a moment, did not speak, and shook her head slightly after a while.
She couldn't argue with it!
There is no other family in the current wealthy empire of the Xilie family that can be compared to it, not to mention that they are still relatives of the imperial family.
"Well, my second reason is that Count Aurno's family has two sons, namely Hua Long and Hua Yun!"
Speaking of this, Prime Minister Rongte suddenly paused, because he saw Xue Ya's face with an expectant look, Rongte immediately knew that Xue Ya was interested in Hua Yun, but Rong Te had to break her illusion and continued: "Among them, Hua Yun has already had a marriage contract with Princess Liuli in advance, and your marriage to him is nothing more than a concubine, do you think he will abandon the family name and interests and be willing to be driven and manipulated by you?"
Xue Ya was slightly stunned again, and after a moment, she could only shake her head.
She also has no way to refute this question!
After getting along with Hua Yun for so long, Xue Ya still knows Hua Yun a little, don't talk about going to influence him, even if she speaks loudly to Hua Yun, Xue Ya doesn't dare.
But she really likes Huayun!
At least that's what she thinks herself!
