The Bowan County Government specially held a banquet to welcome Cui Du that evening.
Cui Du had never held an official position, but his status within the Nanyang Prince Mansion was particularly notable. Even Chen Zhuo, the Chief Historian, was respectful enough to address him as Mr. Cui.
This was naturally due to Cui Du's exceptional talents. Moreover, the Commandery Princess's subtle attitude towards him was noticeable to everyone, causing them to hold Mr. Cui in even higher regard.
Cui Du was not good at drinking; after a round of toasts, his handsome face flushed red.
Jiang Shaohua laughed and said, "Cui Du has a modest capacity for wine, so don't get him drunk."
The nearby Chen Sheren and Ma Sheren both felt a pang of jealousy. Look at how the Commandery Princess favors him; they had been around her daily but never received such consideration.
After the feast dispersed, everyone went to rest, and no more was said.
