She has cried countless times since she came into this world. Even when she was surrounded and beaten before, she never shed a single tear. But now that she is being comforted, she can't control her emotions.
In front of his own people, Chen Nian never hides his emotions.
...
"Ertai, let's go see a play."
Regulate your emotions.
She estimated that it was about time, and Little Swallow should be off hanging red ribbons for people.
This is a show you can't miss.
In ancient times, entertainment was scarce, and watching plays was a rare treat.
"Let's go."
"Wait a minute, let me pull Qing'er along with me."
The three of them are a perfect watchdog; no one can be missing. It's only fun watching something like this together.
"Go."
The three of them were used to gossiping together, so adding Qing'er wouldn't hurt, especially since Qing'er was so helpful to them.
Anyway, he's already tied the red ribbon, so he's not worried anymore. The most important thing is to keep her company while she enjoys the show.
"Shhhhhhh-"
With Chen Nian holding Qing'er's left hand and Lartai's right, the three of them quietly hid behind a rockery.
The artificial hill was big enough to accommodate the three of them.
The three of them quietly huddled together. Chen Nian peeked out from the middle, where there was a hole. Qing'er looked out from the left side of the artificial hill, while Ertai peeked out from the right.
Each person also had some pumpkin seeds in their hands, ready to crack them open when the play started.
"Qing'er, I'll tie one for you in a bit. Don't panic, let's finish watching the show first."
Chen Nian patted Qing'er beside him, worried that she was anxious and wanted to comfort her.
"Nian Nian!"
Qing'er stomped her foot.
Since no one has arrived yet, they can relax a bit.
"Oh, Qing'er, don't be shy. We're all family here, so don't be embarrassed. I'll hang it up for you later."
As she spoke, she waved the red ribbons in her hand.
"Niannian, whose are the four sticks you're holding?"
Qing'er did have that plan. Just as Chen Nian said, they were all family. Qing'er wasn't a pretentious person, so she didn't stop Chen Nian from helping her hang it up. Instead, she asked a question that Qing'er cared about.
She counted the red ribbons in Chen Nian's hand; there were only four.
"You, Ertai, Xuan'er, Ying'er—"
He spoke in turn, lost in thought.
Although she knew that Xiao Yanzi would hang one for Ertai, she also wanted to hang one for him, praying that he could meet a sweetheart who would make him stay in the capital.
If he finds a woman from the capital, and she's lucky enough to have a longer relationship, she can watch him be happy from afar without disturbing his life.
Mongolia is too far away, and she doesn't want to miss seeing him in her limited time. She knows she's being selfish, but she truly doesn't want to miss seeing Ertai.
Moreover, that little girl Saiya is not suited for the capital. Saiya's love of freedom would cause her to lose her true nature if she lived in the capital. Such a happy Saiya should live a free and unrestrained life.
Ertai will only live in Mongolia with Saiya for a year, and will eventually settle in the capital.
The capital city has too many high-ranking officials and nobles, with complex and intertwined power structures and the most rules. It is not a place where the Mongols can allow Saiya to act recklessly. One must be careful in every aspect of dealing with matters in the capital city.
Although she believed that Ertai could definitely protect Saiya, this would not only tire Ertai out, but also Saiya.
However, if, in the end, just like in the original drama, Ertai falls in love with Saiya, and Saiya also loves Ertai, then she will send her congratulatory gift and wish them happiness.
"Hey, Qing'er, should we hang one for Shuang'er?"
