________

Lady Chu brought her daughter-in-law into the palace, and according to the rules, they first went to Fengxi Palace to pay their respects.

Since Ye Yun held a lower rank, even though they were a first-rank title and second-rank title ladies, the Empress did not meet them.

After having a cup of tea served by Ding Momo, they were allowed to leave.

Bai Zhu was still in charge of receiving them.

He led two young palace maids holding umbrellas, who had been waiting early outside the small path of Fengqi Palace.

"Madam, Young Madam, Jieyu has been thinking about you both for a long time. Please follow the servants to Yuxiu Pavilion."

"This one is?" Yin Shi asked with a smile.

Chu Shi introduced her, "This is the steward beside Jieyu, Eunuch Bai."

"Ah, it's Eunuch Bai. It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time. Please accept this small token of appreciation," Yin Shi said, smiling.

She skillfully pulled out a simple silver hairpin from her hair and handed it over.

Bai Zhu hurriedly expressed his gratitude and accepted it with a smile.

If he didn't accept it at this moment, the Young Madam might think that their Jieyu looked down on her.

After all, the Yin family's background was indeed not high.

They walked all the way to Yuxiu Pavilion, taking the time of more than one incense stick.

It was Yin Shi's first time in the palace, and while she felt curious, she also sensed the solemnity of the palace and didn't dare to look around carelessly.

She thought to herself, with such a distance between the two palaces, no wonder her husband said that the ladies in the palace all rode in sedan chairs.

Upon arriving at Yuxiu Pavilion, Huiyue was there to greet them at the door.

Ye Yun treated those around her well, and Huiyue was dressed elegantly, comparable to the daughters of official families outside the palace.

Seeing this, Yin Shi finally understood why her sister-in-law had sent her so much fabric and several sets of ready-made clothes.

Initially, she had felt that the outfits were too extravagant to wear, but now it seemed that the prominent families in the capital dressed this way.

If her sister-in-law hadn't prepared in advance, her few outfits, which she considered decent, would have looked shabby.

She certainly didn't want to embarrass the marquisate.

Thinking back to what her husband and mother-in-law had said about her sister-in-law being delicate, wise, and kind, she felt reassured.

At least from her current experiences and the behavior of the servants around her, she no longer had to worry about her sister-in-law looking down on her lowly background.

Once inside the inner chamber, before she could greet anyone, Nan Zhi and Huiyue supported her.

"We're all family, Mother and Sister-in-law, there's no need to stand on ceremony. Please sit down and rest; it must have been hot on the way here," Ye Yun said cheerfully.
