Chief Eunuch Ma Rui is the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree to the Hou Mansion. He is confident and authoritative, striding into the main hall with his chest puffed out. He admired the cleverness of Prince Chu for directly obtaining an imperial decree for marriage. He arrived first to prevent any confusion with the Jin Prince's proposal. He is perceptive and graceful in handling situations, noting that Wei Linglong is truly perceptive in handling matters gracefully. He discreetly received a pouch likely containing silver from Wei Linglong and recognized her as the future Princess of Prince Chu, not to be trifled with.
