Qing'er's words amused the Empress Dowager, who continued to tease her.
"He listens to me!"
Upon hearing this, Qing'er straightened up immediately and spoke without any hesitation.
The wife's authority is firmly and unwaveringly established.
Even confessing his feelings required her to do it; for him to propose marriage would be a distant dream.
Over time, she discovered that Yongxuan was only dignified, serious, intelligent, witty, and opinionated towards outsiders; but towards her and Niannian, he was... indescribable.
Even that thing was initiated by her...
Moreover, she wanted to get married soon. She felt that if she got married too late, she would regret it, as if the most important person in her life wouldn't be able to attend...
"Oh wow~"
Empress Dowager: As expected of Qing'er, whom she taught, her position is secure, truly wonderful!
"Oh haha~"
Chen Nian: Her brother's status isn't high enough~
"Your Majesty, please recite it."
Hearing the two teasing each other, Qing'er snapped out of her reverie, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"Alright, alright, let's get back to the main topic. Shall we start early? I'll discuss it with the Emperor and then instruct the Imperial Observatory to choose an auspicious date?"
Having internally praised himself, the Empress Dowager continued to work at lightning speed, and had already reached the point of choosing an auspicious date for Qing'er.
"Um."
Qing'er didn't act coy and responded softly, but this time she blushed completely.
She trusted her intuition.
"Alright, alright, I'll go talk to the emperor tomorrow and set a date as soon as possible."
Upon receiving Qing'er's reply, the Empress Dowager was overjoyed. If it weren't for the late hour, she would have gone to find the Emperor right away to set a date.
"What about Niannian? Niannian and Ertai? Your Majesty, I want to marry Niannian together."
Just as the Empress Dowager said, everyone here is one of our own. Thinking of Ertai's "Waiting-for-Wife Stone," Qing'er also mentioned the one she had been thinking about.
She also wanted to get married together with Niannian.
"..."
After Qing'er said this, the room fell silent for a few seconds.
In a flash, Chen Nian realized what was happening and quickly replied to Qing'er's words.
"Qing'er, I'm not in a hurry. If I get married too, the Empress Dowager will be all alone in Cining Palace. I want to spend more time with her."
When marriage was mentioned, Shen Nian's eyes were not indifferent this time, but rather tinged with sadness. However, he quickly hid it and did not show it at all. He then took Qing'er's arm and smiled coquettishly.
"Yes, Qing'er, now that you're gone, I'm all alone in Cining Palace."
By the way, regarding the Mongolian prince's upcoming visit to the capital, you must make sure to tell Xiao Yanzi to keep it a secret and not tell the Emperor. We'll deal with that after the Mongolian prince's visit. Also, bring Cai Lian in sometime so I can take a look at her.”
The Empress Dowager also joined in the contemplation.
The two of them, in a back-and-forth exchange, managed to steer the conversation away from the main topic.
"good."
When Chen Nian heard the Empress Dowager mention Cai Lian, he responded in agreement.
"Um."
Seeing the obvious embarrassment on the faces of the two people beside her, and their clumsy attempts to change the subject, Qing'er's doubts deepened.
But he still didn't say anything.
...
Amidst the bustling preparations, the time soon arrived for the Mongolian prince to come and pay homage.
During this period, Xiao Yanzi tried to please Consort Yu, just like in the original drama. However, with the help of Shen Nian and Qing'er, Xiao Yanzi did not win Consort Yu's favor, but she also did not make Consort Yu's impression worse, and her attitude remained lukewarm.
Despite several attempts to please Consort Yu, Xiao Yanzi saw no change in her attitude towards her, and she eventually gave up on the idea of ingratiating herself, just like...
