"Princess Zhining." Suo Ningbing performed a grand salute.
"Please rise, elder sister," Princess Zhining said gently, then gracefully took her seat at the head position.
Suo Ningbing did not sit down; when facing members of the royal family, one cannot sit unless invited to do so.
"Young Master Suo Lun's performance at the Royal City Academy today was truly astonishing," Princess Zhining remarked. "Instructor Xiuyan has already conveyed his viewpoints to the royal family and the cabinet: develop the navy, and let go of Tianshui City."
Suo Ningbing saluted again, "Please grant mercy, Your Highness, and Commandery Princess."
