Yue Lin looked embarrassed, "Mother, what are you talking about? My fifth brother's marriage has always been your concern. If I care too much about it, I'm afraid he may not agree. It seems that you like the Xie family. But the most important thing for two families to get married is that they are willing. Since the Xie family is unwilling, forcing the marriage is no different from making an enemy."

Yue Lin paused and said slowly, "Duke Xie's grandfather was a founding hero! He had made great military achievements! If you force me like this for a marriage, how will the world see me? How about... you?"

The Empress Dowager's face changed slightly, and she couldn't help saying, "The Emperor is using the world to pressure me!"

Yue Lin smiled bitterly, "No matter what I do, it's wrong in my eyes. But this time, even if you want to blame me, I hope you won't insist on your own way and make me feel cold."

The Empress Dowager's face changed.

She glanced coldly at Mrs. Xie and Xie Qiu who were kneeling on the ground. This marriage was carefully selected by her.

The grandfather of Duke Xie was a founding hero and had great prestige in the army.

In this generation, Duke Xie had only one daughter, Xie Qiu. Although he retired from the army early, the influence of Duke Xie was everywhere in the army.

Originally, the late emperor was always very wary of this.

But Duke Xie and Mrs. Xie had a deep relationship. Mrs. Xie was injured after giving birth to Xie Qiu and could not give birth again.

Duke Xie did not care. He still stayed with his first wife as always, and had no concubines or maids.

He had only one daughter, Xie Qiu, and the late emperor was relieved that there would be no one to support the Xie family in the future.

Speaking of which, when the late emperor was alive, he wanted to match Xie Qiu and Yue Hua for marriage.

Yue Hua had been famous for his literary talent since he was young, and Xie Qiu loved poetry the most. Whenever Yue Hua wrote a new poem, the late emperor would send someone to deliver it to her immediately.

If this marriage could be accomplished, the wife would follow her husband, and the power of the Xie family would all belong to the royal family!

That's why, the Empress Dowager once thought that the late emperor actually wanted Yue Hua to ascend the throne, but for some reason, he finally pointed to Yue Lin to ascend the throne.

The Empress Dowager looked at the back of Mrs. Xie and Xie Qiu's heads for a long time, and then she slowly said, "Xie Qiu, raise your head."

Xie Qiu pursed her lips and raised her head carefully.

The Empress Dowager's expression was subtle, "I have expressed my intention to get married before, and I have never heard you say no. Why did you suddenly refuse the marriage today?"

The Emperor and the Empress were here.

It seemed that this marriage could not be forced.

But the Empress Dowager was still unwilling to miss this marriage. The crux of this matter was actually Xie Qiu.

As long as she was willing, Duke Xie and Mrs. Xie, who value their daughter as their life, would naturally change their words, and everything could go on as planned.

Xie Qiu hesitated.

The Empress Dowager tried to make herself look kind, and she said gently, "It's okay, just say it directly."

Could you really say it directly?

Xie Qiu subconsciously glanced at Jiang Zhimiao.

Jiang Zhimiao smiled slightly, "If Mother asks you to say it directly, just say it directly."

"The Empress Dowager said so, just say it directly." Mrs. Xie said.

Xie Qiu gritted her teeth and said directly, "I have always admired talented people. I thought that Prince An He was talented and might be a good man. But now..."

The Empress Dowager frowned, "Are you affected by the Lotus Appreciation Banquet? They are jealous of Hua'er and are talking nonsense."

Xie Qiu said without hesitation, "Whether it is nonsense or not, I will judge it myself. In this life, I do not seek glory or wealth, but only someone who can speak. I think Prince An He is not that person."

Xie Qiu said, and kowtowed heavily.

She was once shocked by Yue Hua's talent and secretly admired him.
