At this time, Siyu noticed a person. She was tall, with delicate features. Whether she was saluting or standing, her posture was extremely dignified and elegant. Her temperament also stood out among the other female relatives.

"Cai Die, who is that?"

Caidie looked in the direction Siyu pointed, "That's Duke Shen's most beloved daughter, her maiden name is Minyu."

"Oh, so she is the daughter of a duke. No wonder her temperament is different from others. I went to watch the last polo match. There were many daughters of noble families and noble ladies present, but I had never seen her."

"That's because Duke Shen is very strict in disciplining his children, especially girls, who are not allowed to show their faces in public. Miss Shen is a daughter that Duke Shen loves and values ​​very much. She has been taught by famous teachers since she was a child. She is a role model for young ladies from aristocratic families in terms of literary talent and etiquette. If it weren't for this grand ceremony of meeting the Queen Mother, it would be difficult to even see her on weekdays."

"Since she rarely shows up, how do we know that she has excellent literary talent and etiquette?"

"It's definitely not possible to meet in person, but you can meet behind a screen or a gauze curtain. As long as you don't show your face, your voice will be heard."

“So this is the way to see it.”

It's the same situation I've seen in TV dramas before, Siyu thought.

"Let me see who is here today. The daughter of Duke Shen."

"My daughter Minyu pays respect to the Queen Mother."

"You have always been a role model for young ladies from aristocratic families, and now you have become even more beautiful and elegant."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am overwhelmed."

"You don't have to belittle yourself. I say you can afford it."

"Yes, thank you for your teachings, Queen Mother."

"Let me see who else is there: the wife and eldest daughter of the Minister of Personnel, the wife and second daughter of the Minister of Revenue, and the wife and second daughter of the Vice Minister of Justice."

"I, your humble servant, pay my respects to the Queen Mother." The female member of the family whose name was called bowed again.

"No need to be so polite, everyone, please stand up." Several people stood up and returned to their original positions.

"Is Shaohua here?"

"Your Majesty, I'm here." Siyu stepped out from the crowd.

"It's been half a year since I last saw you."

"Your Majesty, I know that you like quietness. Although I am loved by you, I dare not pay my respects to you rashly."

If you hadn't told me to come, I wouldn't have come, Siyu thought.

"She is a sensible girl. I think your clothes are nice, luxurious and elegant."

"Thank you for the compliment, Queen Mother. This was specially made for me by His Royal Highness Prince Chen. The prince said that meeting the Queen Mother is a great honor and should not be taken lightly, let alone lost in etiquette."

The Queen Mother was very pleased with Siyu's words and nodded slightly: "Prince Chen has always been steady, and you are also a well-educated and good girl. Go back and sit down."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Yin Jiafu had always disliked Siyu, and now that the Queen Mother was praising her, she felt even more uncomfortable. She stood up without waiting for the Queen Mother to call her.

"My daughter Yin Jiafu pays respects to the Queen Mother and wishes her long life and good health."

"Is this the daughter of the Minister of Rites?"

"Replying to Your Majesty, it is my daughter."

"This is becoming more and more painful."

"Thank you for the compliment, Queen Mother. It's a rare occasion for all the ladies and sisters to gather together today. Why don't we invite the dancers to perform a little to liven up the atmosphere?"

"There will be singing and dancing at the palace banquet tomorrow. Why dance at this time? Today I just want to meet you and talk. I just said that I like quietness, how come you forgot it in a blink of an eye?" The Queen Mother seemed a little dissatisfied with Yin Jiafu's sudden proposal to dance. Her tone was cold and slightly scolding.

"Please forgive me, Queen Mother. I just acted on impulse and didn't think too much about it."

"Forget it, go back and sit down."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Yin Jiafu wanted to attract the Queen Mother's attention, but she didn't expect to touch her reverse scale. Not only did she fail to gain attention, but she also embarrassed herself. After Yin Jiafu returned to her seat, she lowered her head and stopped talking.
