1892. Chapter 1892 Extra Story: Beasts Without Borders [139]
"When you say that, I feel very sad."
"Haha, between you and me, there is no need to pretend. You are not a kind person, and I am not a good person. Birds of a feather flock together. Although you are dangerous, I admire you very much and am willing to make you a friend!"
"Then I am extremely honored, isn't it?" Song Yunshuang laughed.
Xiao Jin raised his glass to him and said, "This is a toast to you."
"Here's to my confidante," he said.
The two of them laughed and drank it all in one gulp.
Palace
Wei Ziyao was walking on the palace road out of the palace. Many palace people greeted him politely when they saw him. Some officials even took the initiative to talk to him when they saw him.
"Congratulations to the No. 1 Scholar!" Lord Zhu, the Minister of Finance, said with cupped hands.
Wei Ziyao quickly returned the courtesy. The minister's official position was higher than his, and he was a junior, so he should be the one to salute.
"Master Shangshu is joking, why are you so happy?"
"Haha, Wei Da Zhuangyuan, you are too reserved. When the emperor summoned some of our veterans today, he specifically mentioned the marriage between Princess Luojia and you."
Wei Ziyao was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "This, this cannot be true, the emperor must be joking, I already have a fiancée at home..."
"You are not joking, Zhuangyuanlang. How could your wise and virtuous emperor joke about the princess's marriage?" Zhu Shangshu chuckled, "Besides, I have also heard about the fiancée in your family. The identity of that gentleman is not

Wei Ziyao smiled implicitly, lowered his head and said nothing.
Zhu Shangshu said: "It is a good thing that you have the support of that adult, but when it comes to marriage with her, that is impossible. How can she be willing to destroy the bloodline for you?"
"Master Zhu, let's talk about this later." Wei Ziyao had a hard time making his voice sound normal.
He didn't want others to hear his broken emotions. The crumbling emotion in his voice was painful only for him.
Zhu Shangshu patted him on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Wei Ziyao, the emperor values your talent and learning very much, so he wants to marry Princess Luo Jia to you. And that sir is not from our power, but from
, she is indeed not something ordinary people can afford, and wishful thinking will probably make her disgusted."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhu, for the suggestion." Wei Ziyao said respectfully.
Zhu Shangshu then stroked his beard, nodded with a smile, and the two of them left the palace together, got on their own carriage and left.
Wei Ziyao also got on the horse in despair, almost lost his footing when he stepped on the stirrups, and Wei Ding was so frightened that he hurriedly held up his legs.
"Master, master, be careful!"
Wei Ziyao tightened his grip on the reins, but was still distracted.
