I am the spoiled, headstrong, and arrogant daughter of a noble family. My father went off to fight for the country and returned victorious. His Majesty bestowed honors on my entire family and was to host a reception for my father at the palace, ordering my whole family to attend. But I know nothing of etiquette and have no command of poetry or books. My elder sister, a consort in the palace, specially sent a palace governess (played by Teacher Zong Ying) to teach me to read and understand proper conduct, and to keep me from disgracing myself before His Majesty. She is patient and persuasive, poised and graceful, and always composed and proper. I secretly resolve to remember every word of guidance from Teacher Zong Ying, so I won't bring shame on my parents.
