Given their family's status, he couldn't hold a high-ranking official position. She liked freedom, so he would accompany her to play, eat delicious food, and travel.
He was not a good match for her in terms of status, but he wasn't without any leverage. What was wrong with using it for her?
Nothing can compare to her.
He also had leverage to persuade the Empress Dowager.
She was destined to be his; there was no escaping it, unless he took the initiative to soften and let her go.
"Qing'er, why don't we tie it now?"
The people haven't arrived yet, so they can tie their clothes first. This way, they don't have to wait until after the show to tie them, and they can leave right after the show.
Chen Nian turned his head to look at Qing'er not far away, seeking her opinion.
"Sure, but can you tie it?"
The lower areas were mostly tied up, so we could only tie them up higher up.
"It should be fine, just stand on your tiptoes."
Chen Nian looked at the tree in front of him covered with red ribbons, gestured, and responded to Qing'er.
"Ertai, go."
"Um."
And so, Qing'er watched as Ertai walked up to her Niannian. The two of them said something, and then Niannian, half-heartedly, stepped onto Ertai's shoulders and tied red ribbons to them.
"Ertai, should I tie a few more for you?"
He was worried that if he couldn't find the woman in the capital and actually went to Mongolia, she would never see him again.
Having more options means having more choices; maybe I can find a woman living in Beijing.
Xiao Yanzi arranged for Ertai to find many marriage partners, while she arranged for him to find a good woman in the capital. The two are different.
"Sink! Think!"
Ertai deliberately shook the person standing on his shoulder. He really wanted to cut open this person's brain to see what she was thinking. Even if she was clueless, couldn't she feel his feelings at all?
"Hey, hey, hey, no, no, no, don't panic, the little fairy is going to fall."
Ertai's actions startled Shennian so much that she clung to the tree trunk above her head.
Although she knew Ertai wouldn't let her fall, she was still afraid she might lose her balance.
Haha~
Ertai couldn't help but laugh when he heard Shen Nian blurt out "little fairy." He looked up at Shen Nian's clinging to the tree trunk and his smile deepened.
"Little fairies don't hug tree trunks, you know~"
Ertai didn't think there was anything wrong with calling her Chen Nian; Chen Nian was originally a delicate and lovely little fairy.
Especially today, she was wearing a white tulle dress, her waist was slender and delicate...
A ray of moonlight shone down on her flawless white face.
Her eyes were slightly lowered, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, like a painting, beautiful as a dream, breathtaking, isn't she a fairy?
"You're trying to shake me, aren't you? It's all your fault, you've ruined my fairy image."
Chen Nian slowly released the tree trunk and glared at Ertai.
She glared at him fiercely, thinking she looked intimidating, but little did she know, the two shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth were incredibly cute! In his eyes, she was like a fluffy little kitten, both adorable and fiercely endearing.
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. Little fairy, hurry up and tie it, okay? When someone comes, aren't you going to watch the show? It won't look good if you get caught."
Ertai smiled and nodded, agreeing with whatever she said and not arguing with her.
"Okay, you're not allowed to shake me anymore."
He bowed his head and gave instructions.
Qing'er and Ertai have finished tying their clothes; Xuan'er, Ying'er, and Shuang'er are still missing theirs.
"Okay, hurry up and tie it."
He carefully tied Xuan'er, Ying'er, and Shuang'er's clothes, then closed his eyes.
