The best way to deal with brainless, muscle-bound idiots is to slowly weaken them by gradually weakening them, rather than resorting to force.
After the boat trip on the lake ended, Chen Yuwei was left alone by Empress Fucha Jinyi after a greeting ceremony.
The Empress kept Chen Yuwei with her for a simple purpose: to explain the matter of Mulan Qiumi.
The reason the Empress is not going this time is very simple: her health does not permit it.
Although Hongli promised Chen Yuwei back in May that he would take Mulan Qiumi with him, at that time, Hongli was just talking the talk.
It's not like he hasn't been scolded before. Hongli sometimes does this kind of thing intentionally. At worst, he'll apologize later. Anyway, Hongli's reputation in this regard is terribly low.
Later, when Hongli came to the Yuanmingyuan, he mentioned Mulan Qiumi more and more often, and Chen Yuwei realized that this job was indispensable to her.
Listening to Fucha Jinyi's words of goodwill and instructions, Chen Yuwei understood why this task had fallen to her.
There's nothing more to it than the word "suitable"!
No matter how you look at it, Fucha Jinyi couldn't find a more suitable candidate than Chen Yuwei.
So when Hongli mentioned Chen Yuwei, Fucha Jinyi simply chose to add to the good news.
"...Thank you for your hard work, Consort Shu, over there, Mulan Qiumi."
"I have said everything I needed to say. I am confident that Consort Shu will satisfy His Majesty."
Fucha Jinyi lowered his head and coughed twice in a low voice. At the same time, he waved his hand, signaling Donghan behind him to bring over a tray.
On the tray lay a thin ledger. Fucha Jinyi smiled and said, "These are all kinds of New Year's gifts and return gifts sent by Mongolian tribes every year."
The Imperial Concubine can take this back as a reference; Mulan Qiumi's importance to the royal family is self-evident.
Therefore, when it comes to demonstrating the magnanimity of the Qing Dynasty, it is better to suffer losses than to look bad.
There was nothing that could be done about it; the Qing Dynasty valued its reputation, especially Emperor Qianlong (Hongli).
If Fucha Jinyi were to cause trouble during Chen Yuwei's trip to Mulan Qiumi, it would be easy for her, given the sensitive nature of her interactions with Mongolian tribes.
However, Chen Yuwei poses little threat to Empress Fucha Jinyi, and if used well, she can even help the Empress ward off palace intrigues.
This is why Fucha Jinyi offered help to Chen Yuwei.
"Your Majesty, I thank you."
She had to accept the favor, so Chen Yuwei clutched the account book and turned to leave Changchun Xianguan.
