After the mind-reading and gossip-eating incident, officials in the imperial city were demoted one a

"Ranran, since a benefactor is willing to help us, you should study hard."

Granny Xu, who was able to get out of bed, lay on a recliner basking in the sun. Over the years, she had been finding food for the young master while she was naked, and had forgotten to teach her how to resist. Fortunately, she had the help of the Ye family's benefactor.

Ye Yaoyao could tell that Chen Ranran lacked confidence. It was alright, she could take it slow.

"Ranran, I believe in you too. Just observe how my mother and Aunt Xin handle things."

Ye Xiyao held her hand encouragingly.

"Okay, I will."

Having made up her mind, Chen Ranran grasped Ye Xiyao's hand in return; she wouldn't let them down.

"Over the years, you've all come to know something about Madam Chen, haven't you?"

“When she goes out, she is even more particular than when she is at home, and it takes her half an hour longer to do her makeup.”

In Xu Mama's heart, Chen Ranran's biological mother was the true lady of the Chen family.

[When someone goes out to meet their lover, of course they have to dress up nicely.] Ye Yaoyao silently complained in her heart.

"This old servant heard that Madam Yan likes the tea and snacks at Qingxinzhai, and that's where she goes most often."

The master and servant worked as servants in the Chen household, and all their information came from the maids.

The two talked a lot about Madam Chen, and Ye Yaoyao felt that Qingxinzhai might be the place where Madam Chen met her lover.

"Fu Ling and Fu Ya, starting tomorrow, you two will take turns monitoring Madam Chen. Keep a close eye on Qingxinzhai and report back to me immediately."

“Yes, Miss,” Fu Ling and Fu Ya replied in unison.

"Does the Fourth Miss suspect that something is wrong with her?"

Granny Xu, being older, noticed something.

"Yes." Ye Yaoyao nodded, without revealing that Madam Chen had cheated on her husband.

"Third Miss, Fourth Miss, Madam wants to see you." Dongzhu came over and called them away.

The two sisters arrived at Chunnuan Pavilion, where Ye Mian was also present. His face had fully recovered yesterday, and he had just gone to court this morning before coming here after returning.

"Father!" the two sisters called out in unison.

"Ok!"

Ye Mian replied calmly that he only learned that Zhao Qingrou was responsible for Ye Yaoyao falling into the water after the news of the Zhao family's incident spread yesterday.

This morning, the court officials submitted memorials impeaching the Zhao family. The Emperor, curious about Ye Yaoyao who had returned from the dead, specifically requested that Ye Mian bring her to the palace banquet.

"Yaoyao, the Emperor has specifically requested that you attend the palace banquet. Since you are new to the palace, I'd like to give you some instructions regarding your entry into the palace." Ye Mian frowned slightly, his expression solemn.

Ye Yaoyao has caused quite a bit of trouble lately, and Ye Mian is afraid that she will try to harm him in the palace, so he came over personally after court to give her some instructions.

"Yes, Father," Ye Yaoyao replied obediently.

"When you enter the palace banquet, you must be careful with your words and actions. Do not argue with others casually, and even if you are wronged, you must endure it."

"Okay, Father."

Ye Mian paused, then said:

"When you meet the ladies and princesses, you must perform the proper greetings and never be impolite."

Furthermore, when dining at a banquet, one should maintain an elegant demeanor and not wolf down one's food, lest one lose the grace of a well-bred lady.

[When did I wolf down my food? My scumbag dad is just using this as an excuse to insult me!]

Before Ye Yaoyao could answer, Liu Yunshu spoke up.

"Yaoyao doesn't usually wolf down her food, so my husband can rest assured."

Ye Mian was naturally worried and said earnestly:

"There are many rules in the palace, and people's hearts are complicated. You need to restrain your temper and never act willfully."

Always remain humble and respectful, and never steal the limelight from others.

"understood."

【What kind of personality do I have? I have a very good personality!】

Ye Yaoyao outwardly agreed, but inwardly she thought, "I won't offend others unless they offend me."

Seeing her expression, Ye Mian became somewhat uneasy, raised his voice, and grew even more serious.

"Don't take this lightly. At the palace banquet, under the watchful eyes of everyone, your every word and action represents the Ye family."

"If anything goes wrong, not only you, but the entire Ye family could be implicated."

"I understand. I will be careful and cautious and will not bring shame to the Ye family." Ye Yaoyao raised her head and looked at Ye Mian with a firm gaze.

As long as Mom and the triplets are alright, I can't guarantee you won't lose face.

Seeing that she said this, Ye Mian nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, remember what your father said today."

"Madam, please prepare their attire for entering the palace."

Ye Mian thought that Liu Yunshu was a sensible person and that there shouldn't be any problems at today's palace banquet.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Liu Yunshu nodded slightly.

Ye Mian's gaze lingered on Ye Yaoyao for a moment before he left.

Not long after, Liu Yunshu instructed several maids to come over, carrying several brand-new clothes.

"You two try on the clothes your mother prepared."

Her clothes were simple and plain; Ye Xiyao wore a lotus-root colored Confucian skirt.

The light purple color with a hint of pink complemented her gentle temperament, making her even more beautiful and charming.

Ye Yaoyao changed several outfits, but Liu Yunshu was still not satisfied.

"Mom, just pick any outfit! They all look pretty much the same to me, and my little sister is getting impatient trying them on."

Ye Xiyao watched as Ye Yaoyao changed into several outfits, each one beautiful, and couldn't help but speak up.

"Mom, this is it." Ye Yaoyao really didn't want to go through any more trouble.

Ye Yaoyao found it strange that her mother kept making her change into new clothes all day.

Ye Yaoyao's light blue dress, as clear and vibrant as the sky and water, was fresh and natural.

"Then take this one!"

Liu Yunshu looked helpless. Her daughter was like a natural clothes hanger; no matter what color clothes she wore, they couldn't hide her beauty.

[System, does my mother not want me to be too dazzling in the palace?]

【Yes. 】

My mom's thinking is unnecessary; I'm not even as pretty as my older sister!

[Host, I think you're prettier than your sister.]

The system thought there was something wrong with the host's eyes, but Ye Yaoyao took it as the system praising her.

My face is so generic; I look like several people, and I'll probably run into a few more at the palace.

Ye Yaoyao had met three people who claimed to know her, but she thought she was just average-looking!

A generic face? Several people look alike? Ye Xiyao couldn't believe it; her little sister's almost otherworldly face had similar features.

In her opinion, even if her younger sister wears a country girl's outfit, she can still exude a noble air.

Liu Yunshu frowned. This face was too stunningly beautiful; it was probably going to be impossible to hide.

At the hour of Wei (1-3 PM), the carriage arrived at the palace gate and slowly came to a stop.

"Madam, Miss, we've arrived."

The coachman lifted the curtain, and Ye Yaoyao got off the carriage first.

The towering palace gates stood before us, their vermilion doors adorned with golden studs that gleamed in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The guards at the gate were dressed in gleaming armor, holding long spears, standing tall and solemn, exuding an imposing aura.

Officials and their families were already queuing at the palace gates, waiting to register and enter the palace.

Ye Yaoyao looked at the ladies and ladies dressed in their finest clothes and adorned with exquisite headdresses.

There are also those who dress simply and modestly, yet still exude dignity.

"Whose daughter is this? She's so beautiful," a noblewoman whispered to her companion.

"It seems to be Miss Ye Yaoyao from the Ye family. Look, Madam Ye is coming out in her carriage."

The eunuch at the palace gate shouted loudly, "Ladies and young ladies, please enter the palace in order, and do not make any noise."

After getting out of the car, the family walked towards the palace gate.
