Why not try a roundabout approach?
If Ertai hadn't suppressed his talents, what would have become of Fu Erkang? During the time she spent with Ertai, she clearly felt that Ertai was more capable than Fu Erkang.
If Ertai hadn't been younger and born later than Kang, and hadn't been so highly valued by the Emperor, there wouldn't be a love-struck fool like Fu Erkang who doesn't distinguish right from wrong.
