"Lili, you are to join us at the palace tomorrow," Madam Jiang the Elder began, "If there's anything you lack or need, just tell your mother, and she will prepare it for you."
Jiang Li nodded in agreement.
"This will be your first time entering Yanjing City's palace; you mustn't break any rules. If you don't understand something, just ask. When in doubt, follow Youyao's lead," Madam Jiang the Elder instructed carefully, "Your clothes and jewelry are all ready. Tomorrow, you will represent the honor of the Jiang Family—I trust you will do very well."
To Jiang Li's surprise, Madam Jiang the Elder actually praised her for once. She smiled and nodded, without showing excessive excitement.
