Li Xian knew well that Madam could not move, let alone meet anyone. But what Li Bo Hou mentioned was of great importance, involving the Dragon Appreciation Banquet.
Pondering in his heart, he decided to have the two remain, and wait for Madam's decision.
So he said, "Madam is in closed retreat and will likely not emerge easily within three days. Since you've come from afar, why not stay at the manor for a while? You'll certainly be able to see Madam within three days at the latest. Yihetang Manor is vast and beautiful. If you are willing to appreciate it, I can accompany you throughout."
Li Bo Hou saw the wind and snow howling outside, the sky cold and frozen. Not being able to deliver the message directly was indeed not ideal, but waiting a few days was no harm. He said, "Please convey the message first, if Madam does not wish to come out of retreat immediately, my daughter and I will stay in the manor for two days."
