Attending the Empress Dowager's imperial banquet for the first time, this was also a first for Wufu. Although she had been to some celebrity banquets in her previous life for missions, this was ancient times, with more rules and greater caution needed in behavior and speech. The number of maidservants one could bring into the palace was limited, so Wufu only brought Purple Jade.
Purple Jade was originally a Hidden Guard and had undergone extensive training for placement in high-status households, essentially an all-round training, so she knew a great deal. Bringing her alone was more than enough.
Dressed according to her rank, Wufu wore a luxurious palace outfit suited to a second-rank County Lord and arrived at the palace gate by carriage. As per the rules, noblewomen and ladies must walk inside unless an imperial command arranges for them to be carried in sedan chairs.
