Looking up at Yonghu, who still didn't know what he had done wrong, Chen Yuwei stroked her chin with one hand and called him over to sit down obediently beside her.
It's best to tell Yonghu everything you can in a soft, gentle voice.
Chen Yuwei was genuinely afraid that Yonghu, like his name, would be reckless and dare to say anything.
The point is, you can say whatever you want, but you can't completely disregard the Emperor's feelings.
You should know that Hongli values his reputation the most. Yonghu presenting the above record to Hongli was a direct slap in the face to Hongli's old face.
Hongli didn't turn against Yonghu on the spot because of their long-standing father-son relationship. Otherwise, if it were someone else, Hongli certainly wouldn't have let it go so easily and even let Yonghu bring him a memorial that hadn't been changed at all to show off his merits.
"What can I say about you?"
Chen Yuwei was extremely worried, especially when she saw Yonghu's silly and honest smiling face, she became even more devastated.
Some things shouldn't be thought about too much, otherwise Chen Yuwei would have no choice but to give up.
"Mother~"
Yonghu clung to Chen Yuwei's shoulder, a grown man putting on a pitiful act, trying to soften his mother's heart and get her to help him.
Chen Yuwei reached out and lightly tapped Yonghu's forehead, then sighed, "Well, things have already come to this point, there's nothing more to say."
"Now, according to what's written above, go ahead and tell everyone about it openly."
If you don't want Hongli to lose face, then you should cause trouble for these people's relatives.
Considering the political situation at court, the emperor refrained from saying much, but he couldn't afford to be ignorant.
Those who are obedient should simply find an excuse to quickly subdue the person; those who are disobedient should just wait to be made a laughing stock and ridiculed.
Anyway, the Qing Dynasty currently belongs to the Aisin Gioro family, so the Emperor certainly won't hear any negative comments about him.
Where will these statements be used? Hmm, it's really not worth thinking about too much.
When Yonghu heard that his mother not only didn't want to salvage the situation but also planned to escalate it, he naturally didn't understand why.
But Yonghu has one advantage: if he doesn't understand something, he doesn't bother to figure it out. Anyway, his mother won't harm him, so he can just listen and do it himself.
With a grin, Yonghu made sure everyone knew about the little things he had memorized after leaving Yikun Palace.
Yonghu didn't publicize it in public, but found an excuse to meet with those young people and their families and exchange a few ambiguous remarks.
Everyone here is a seasoned veteran in officialdom, able to understand the unspoken meaning behind the words, so there's no need for Yonghu to spell it out too clearly.
With a smile, he saw Yonghu off, then turned around and had his own child dragged out for questioning.
They were all observing the master's unclear thoughts, and had high expectations for their own children.
Now, upon further questioning, and finding that everything Yonghu said was true, he was even more furious.
Foolish!
Knowing he was going to be the emperor's son-in-law, he still did such a shameful thing.
If only I had known then what I know now!
Countless officials held this view, and it didn't take long for them to find a plausible excuse to remove their children's names from the shortlist.
Of course, not everyone does this. Some are truly innocent and have no fear at all, while others are too thick-skinned to decide to take a gamble and pretend they don't know anything unless the emperor names them.
Hongli: ...
Emperor Hongli was disgusted by the officials with faces as big as basins, and he tried every means to reprimand them.
I thought I could hold on, but I didn't last long and eventually gave up.
After venting his anger, Hongli turned to Chen Yuwei and discussed the matter, resulting in a completely new personnel list.
Anyway, there are many officials in the imperial court, and most families have sons and nephews everywhere.
If Hongli felt that the previous batch of people was not good enough, then he would conduct a thorough investigation and replace them with a new batch.
Even when the list was handed to Chen Yuwei, Hongli clapped his hands and told Chen Yuwei to check it carefully.
Chen Yuwei: ...
Chen Yuwei smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty, rest assured, Hezhuo and Fuling'a are my daughters. For their future marriage, I will do my best to oversee their selection."
It's just a survey, just give it to Yonghu. This kid has already mastered communication skills without any instruction.
Although the incident that happened some time ago was a bit excessive, it was understandable from both a moral and logical standpoint.
Since Yikun Palace doesn't care now, and Hezhuo and Fuling'a aren't afraid either, then Yonghu has even less to worry about.
Since that's the case, what's there to worry about? Just as she finished speaking with Hongli, Chen Yuwei turned around and called Yonghu over to give him instructions.
Yonghu was eager to try again; what he had done last time had given him enough confidence.
This time, Yonghu believed he could do a better job.
It was all for the sake of his two younger sisters. Besides, he lived alone outside and had nothing to do on weekdays. By doing a good job of inviting people to horse racing and drinking, he could also get some satisfaction.
"Mother, don't worry, your son will handle things properly."
"But if what happened before happens again," Yonghu stroked his chin with a profound expression, feeling that the marriage between Hezhuo and Fulinga would not be successful.
Chen Yuwei didn't care, "Then it just means they're not a good match."
"Those who are unsuitable should be removed. The Emperor has many candidates. Go back and work hard. Your mother is waiting for your good news in the palace."
Upon hearing this, Yonghu exclaimed "Oh!" and quickly nodded in agreement.
...
"I heard the Emperor say a few days ago that he was going to choose husbands for Princesses Khoja and Princess Fulinga."
How could so much time have passed? Has there been a mistake in the selection of the imperial son-in-law?
Finally able to go out on a nice day, Hui Fa Na La Tan Yin, seven or eight months pregnant, strolled around leisurely with Cui Rui by her side.
