The news of the Prince of Yonghuai recuperating at the estate spread, and all the royal relatives and prominent families of Andu stirred, vying with one another in eagerness as they sent their calling cards and gifts.
Feng Yun specifically arranged for Alou to receive guests at the main entrance.
The calling cards were kept, but the gifts were returned unopened.
It was only said, "His Highness is indisposed and wishes to convalesce in peace at the villa. We appreciate the kind thoughts of our esteemed guests. Once His Highness recovers, Changmen will host a banquet in invitation."
Alou had now been trained.
He was no longer the frightened youth who rode out of the city in a little donkey cart, crying.
Having met many important figures, he conducted himself with dignity, humility, and courtesy, no longer behaving in a cringing manner.
