Zhu Sujin wrote a letter to each of the following: Old woman Qian, Qian Sangui’s couple, Cheng Yue, Qian Yixiu, and Qian Manxia.
The gist of them all was that he was doing very well in Capital City, where every day, he enjoyed the favor of his parents, dutifully attending to his father and offering comfort to his gravely ill mother. The Emperor was very fond of him, praising his knowledge and understanding of the common people’s hardships and even appointed him Prince Ning’s Heir. The Imperial Great Grandmother was also very kind to him, holding him while they both wept for quite some time, and she had rewarded him with many fine things.

Due to the merit of offering the cannon designs, and partly thanks to Yueyue and the Princely Heir’s influence, he was returned to the Imperial Army and promoted up three ranks, now serving as a fourth-rank Left General inside the palace. He also specifically mentioned that since the Empress Dowager doted on Yueyue, she didn’t want her son-in-law going to a military camp outside the city where the work was tough and the time at home limited. Thus, the Emperor granted him this office so he could spend more time with Yueyue, and the Empress Dowager herself could see them more often...
