Qingdai's eyes widened. For her own life and for the sake of having someone to support her in the future, she had to do her best to bring the prince and the princess together.
Looking at Qingdai's eager eyes, Qu Qingxi couldn't bring herself to say that there was actually no possibility of a relationship developing between her and He Liufeng, so she could only say, "Qingdai, I don't believe in this, forget it."
"Your Highness, since you don't believe me, why don't you just tie it? It won't make any difference anyway!" Qingdai was afraid that Qu Qingxi would refuse, so she quickly flew up to the marriage tree with a playful smile and tied two bright red ribbons to it. Qingdai even chose the highest point.
After Qingdai landed, she sincerely closed her eyes and bowed, muttering, "Please bless the prince and princess to be together happily."
Watching Qingdai's actions, Qu Qingxi didn't say much, but looking at the bright red ribbon fluttering in the wind at the highest point, Qu Qingxi felt something was a little strange.
"Your Highness, I just saw Ren Nuanyun and her maid coming this way as well," Qingdai whispered to Qu Qingxi.
“It seems Ren Nuanyun has already found a man she likes.” Qu Qingxi raised an eyebrow slightly. “Let’s go, let’s hide over there and see if she’s trying to find a husband for herself.”
Mentioning Ren Nuanyun, a trace of disgust flashed across Qingdai's face. This Ren Nuanyun wanted to kill the princess for no reason and framed the county princess in public. She was simply an extremely vicious woman.
The two hid behind a tree, concealing themselves, and looked towards the marriage tree.
Ren Nuanyun arrived quickly with her maid. Chunyi took out two silk ribbons and handed them to Ren Nuanyun, then lowered her head and dared not speak.
She really wanted to ask, "Miss is clearly not engaged or married yet, so why is she being asked to prepare a red ribbon and come to the marriage tree? This is so against the rules."
Ren Nuanyun came here today not just to tie this red ribbon, but also specifically to "bump into" someone.
Ren Nuanyun told Chunyi to wait to the side, while she herself clumsily climbed up the ladder placed next to her.
Watching Ren Nuanyun's actions, Chunyi was very puzzled. Why didn't the young lady call her today, but instead went up to tie it herself? She didn't think that Ren Nuanyun was just being kind today. Perhaps, this was another of Ren Nuanyun's schemes.
After all, since she started serving Ren Nuanyun, she had never seen Ren Nuanyun do anything hard herself, unless she had some purpose in not letting her do anything and instead standing aside and watching.
When Qu Qingxi saw the Crown Prince walking over with his guards, she knew what Ren Nuanyun's purpose was.
Ren Nuanyun was dressed in an elegant white dress with large peonies embroidered in silver thread, which shimmered in the sunlight.
The prince didn't know what was going on, but he ended up here. As he turned a corner, he saw a slender figure clumsily climbing up the marriage tree.
The woman was dressed simply, and her long hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, making her look like a pure and flawless white lotus.
The Crown Prince strode to the tree, just as Ren Nuanyun was about to tie her red ribbon. She seemed to only then notice the Crown Prince. "Crown Prince? Nuanyun… Ah!"
Just as Ren Nuanyun was about to greet the Crown Prince, she suddenly slipped, cried out in surprise, and fell straight to the ground.
The Crown Prince was also startled. He quickly leaped towards Ren Nuanyun and caught her steadily in his arms. Ren Nuanyun looked at the Crown Prince with slightly red eyes, just like a frightened little rabbit. She met the Crown Prince's affectionate eyes.
"Your Highness," Ren Nuanyun called out sweetly, then buried her face in the prince's arms as if she were shy.
The Crown Prince felt as if he had been struck hard by something. Looking at Ren Nuanyun's shy face, his heart beat faster.
After the prince landed steadily on the ground, Ren Nuanyun still held tightly to his arms.
Seeing this, Qu Qingxi muttered, "Huh? Why aren't they spinning around?"
"What do you mean, spinning around?" Qingdai turned to look at Qu Qingxi in surprise.
"Uh, well, why didn't the Crown Prince spin Ren Nuanyun around a few times when he carried her down?" Qu Qingxi felt that she had been poisoned by some ancient costume dramas.
"Why do you spin around when you're carrying her down? Does the princess like that?" Qingdai asked curiously. So the princess likes that. Spinning her around in the air while carrying her makes it more romantic.
"Uh, no, I don't like it." Qu Qingxi hesitated, not wanting to continue arguing with Qingdai about this issue, and instead turned to look at the Crown Prince and Ren Nuanyun.
Qingdai seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. It seemed she would have to find an opportunity to tell the prince that the princess liked to be held and spun around in the air.
"Miss Ren, it's alright now, we're safe." The Crown Prince's gentle voice came, and Ren Nuanyun seemed to come to her senses. She glanced at the Crown Prince, then blushed, quickly got out of the Crown Prince's arms, took two steps back, and bowed to the Crown Prince to express her gratitude.
"Nuanyun thanks Your Highness for saving my life." Ren Nuanyun lowered her head, revealing her slender neck and delicate, slightly pale face, which filled the Crown Prince with affection.
"Please rise quickly. I am dressed casually today, so there is no need for such formalities." The Crown Prince hurriedly helped Ren Nuanyun to her feet.
"Your young lady has been frightened, why don't you come and help her up!" Knowing that he was being unreasonable, the Crown Prince quickly looked at the stunned maid beside him.
"Yes, Your Highness." Chunyi quickly came to her senses and hurriedly walked to Ren Nuanyun's side, supporting her. She was shocked. Was what happened today intentional or just a coincidence?
If it was intentional, then Miss is far too cunning. How did she anticipate that the Crown Prince would come here? Miss is always like this, as if she knows everything in advance. Chunyi felt a chill run through her body and dared not think any further.
"If it weren't for the Crown Prince, Nuanyun probably wouldn't have known that the Crown Prince was so skilled." Ren Nuanyun looked at the Crown Prince with admiration, her clear eyes filled with surprise.
The Crown Prince had met women like this before, but he always felt that Ren Nuanyun was different from the others. She was delicate yet dared to face power. At this moment, the admiration in her eyes greatly satisfied the Crown Prince's vanity.
"I've only learned the basics," the prince chuckled softly, then swished open his folding fan.
Noticing that the Crown Prince had changed his self-reference, Ren Nuanyun was even more delighted. "The Crown Prince is so humble, even though he is so capable."
"Is Miss Ren already engaged?" The Crown Prince glanced at the two red silk ribbons in Ren Nuanyun's hand and asked tentatively.
"No, Nuanyun is not engaged yet. This red ribbon is for Father and Mother. Nuanyun hopes that Father and Mother will be happy forever, and that the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion will be peaceful forever." Ren Nuanyun looked at the ribbon in her hand, having already made up her mind.
