As far as Cui Rui was concerned, she was a servant of Yonghe Palace, so she would not refuse the benefits that her master had personally offered.
Moreover, her master's generosity would be of great benefit to her as his personal maid in her future endeavors.
It should be noted that the servants of Yonghe Palace and Cui Rui had a direct superior-subordinate relationship.
If the master treats the servants with more care, then Cui Rui can easily pass on many small matters, including some arrangements, by taking this opportunity.
The palace is a circle, big or small, and if you want to do well in it, you have to make sacrifices.
What's more important than piles of silver? It must be more silver.
Having received her master's approval, Cui Rui immediately spread the news that Yonghe Palace would be rewarded with three months' worth of allowances.
Regardless of what the other palace servants thought, none of the servants in Yonghe Palace were unhappy.
For the first time ever, Cui Rui was fawned over when she went out, receiving unprecedented treatment.
Cui Rui: ...
She was happy, of course, but Cui Rui felt more about the impermanence of life.
After all, he was like this before at Yonghe Temple, and he is like this now.
Yes, I can't recall or compare things, otherwise I'll get angry and won't be able to calm myself down.
Hui Fa Na La Tan Yin let go, thus relinquishing some benefits. The palace was filled with joy and harmony, and the comfortable environment even eased some of the annoyance that Hong Li had caused.
Meanwhile, Chen Yuwei, who had already left the palace, was having a very happy time at the summer palace.
Leaving aside how happy Yongwei and Wuyunzhu were to see Chen Yuwei, their biological mother, the whole affair of choosing a consort between Hezhuo and Fuling'a added a lot of funny moments to Chen Yuwei's daily life.
After his eldest son Yonghu's tireless investigations, Hongli, after personally replacing three batches of personnel lists, finally found a few promising young talents who were still acceptable.
Chen Yuwei felt that these young talents had some skills, and not everyone could withstand Yonghu's torment. In any case, the few that Chen Yuwei favored failed to hold on and withdrew from the election list early on.
The rest, in a sense, are quite shrewd.
In order to select the two most outstanding individuals to become Hongli's sons-in-law.
Hongli immediately decided to hold a talent competition with real names right at the summer palace.
Everyone should come up and try it out for real; whether it works or not will be immediately clear.
Chen Yuwei found this amusing: Hongli was treating the selection of his consort as a personal showcase.
It wasn't about choosing a consort at all; it was about self-aggrandizement.
Chen Yuwei, who was one of the main observers at the hearing, almost laughed herself silly when she returned.
It's hilarious! Hongli doesn't seem stupid, so why does he always do such mindless things?
Those who know him are aware of his relationship with two princesses of marriageable age, Khoja and Fulinga. Those who don't might think that Hongli is publicly praising his own great achievements, which is extremely embarrassing.
Later, the event was inexplicably canceled, and as for the selection of the consorts of Khoja and Fulinga, well, it was still postponed.
Chen Yuwei isn't in a hurry, her two daughters aren't in a hurry, and as for Hongli? He probably isn't in a hurry either.
"Oh dear, Mother, Father, what does this mean? Your daughter and Fuling'a don't quite understand."
"Mother, Father Emperor wouldn't be unwilling to find husbands for me and my sister, would he?"
The two daughters looked at each other in bewilderment. They had been staying at the summer palace for almost two months, but the choice of the prince consort had not yet been finalized.
To say they were in a hurry wouldn't be accurate.
But this matter is very inexplicable. The selection has never been finalized, and the Emperor has repeatedly summoned these talented young people into the palace under the guise of their sisters.
Khoja and Fulinga were not petty people, but the Emperor always did this, which only made their situation awkward and made them seem extremely immature (although neither of them were very immature).
Chen Yuwei patted He Zhuo and Fu Ling'a's wrists helplessly, signaling them to stop acting cute and sit down to talk things out.
Khoja and Fulina: ...
The two sat on the edge of the tatami mat with sullen expressions, their eyes still fixed on Chen Yuwei.
Chen Yuwei smiled reassuringly, "I know you're worried."
Don't worry, no matter what your Emperor thinks, he has to decide on the candidate.
Furthermore, haven't you also met them under some pretext? They do indeed have some admirable qualities.
It means that after you get married, you will most likely live in the area to the south.
They had mentioned before where they planned to go after their marriage, but that was just talk.
The term "south" is a very general term. It can refer to Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, or the areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong.
Most of these young talents are from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong provinces, and there are currently no suitable positions for them in the imperial court.
If the two chosen to marry He Zhuo and Fu Ling'a, the young couple would most likely be exiled back by Hongli after the marriage.
Chen Yuwei frowned. Over the years, Hongli had only made a limited number of southern tours.
In the early part of the fifteenth year of the Qianlong reign, Hongli (Emperor Qianlong) traveled there lightly, but Chen Yuwei did not accompany him due to her position in the palace.
Even now, Hoja and Phu Ling A have no deep impression of the south, because they have never been there.
“The south is prosperous, especially the Jiangnan region.”
"You two going there, your mother isn't worried about your health, but in other aspects," Chen Yuwei sighed, "being far from the capital, your mother and your father will have limitations, and you'll have to rely on yourselves."
If someone were to harm the sisters, Chen Yuwei would most likely be left helpless and anxious.
