The Duke Cheng'en Mansion, which had stood empty for over twenty years, finally welcomed its master. No, now it was called the Marquis Mansion.
The lacquered plaque of the Marquis Mansion, said to be personally bestowed by the Emperor, brightly replaced the Duke Cheng'en's plaque, hanging high above the gate, attracting the attention of passersby, and making many people wonder if they should send congratulatory gifts.
But the Marquis only returned to the small ancestral hall in the mansion to worship his ancestors and parents, then returned to the palace, leaving only a few old servants and some guards in the mansion.
It is said that the Marquis would often reside in Cining Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager, study at the Imperial Academy, and only return to the Marquis Mansion for rituals and offerings on the first and fifteenth of the lunar months until he came of age.
