Now that the emperor has granted a marriage, Yan Zhigao no longer concealed it, "Two years ago, Yeyang had already proposed to your eldest sister. You know his status is prestigious, and without the emperor or Prince Ping making the decision, our family received his token of engagement, but we couldn't announce the betrothal."
Yan Wenxiu: "You shouldn't have kept this from your son. Just the other day, I was thinking about matchmaking your eldest daughter with Feng Hao."
Yan Zhigao frowned, "I was wondering why your mother has been looking all twisted up these last few days. So, you're the source of it," he said, pausing.
"In the future, don't take such matters into your own hands again. Even if you find someone you approve of outside, you should first come home and discuss it with your mother, in case she has other plans."
Yan Wenxiu nodded, "I've been rash."
