When she saw Wang Qingyun, she was practicing etiquette with a female official from the palace.
When to stand up, when to bend down, when to raise your hand, there is a science to every gesture.
She stood behind the screen and watched Wang Qingyun walk from one end of the room to the other over and over again, kneeling on the ground, touching the ground with both palms, waist level with the ground, bowing his head, greeting, and standing up. After practicing for about ten times, the female official said, "This solemn worship ceremony is the most important. When offering sacrifices to heaven, earth, and ancestral temples, there must not be the slightest mistake."
Wang Qingyun said, "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Yucai."
So he invited the jade tailor aunt to have some tea and rest for a while.
