All knelt down and saluted, saying, "Your servants dare not."
Li Xianyun paused, then said, "If you want to stay in the Imperial Palace for a long time, you need to do the following things."
"First, be loyal and upright, and do not betray your master for glory. Second, be cautious in what you say and do, do not speak of things that are not your place to speak of, do not see things that are not your place to see, and never stir up trouble in front of your master; third, fulfill your duties responsibly; fourth, be steady and diligent, follow the arrangements of the Chief, do not form cliques or favor some over others. Can you do it?"
All said in unison, "Replying to the Princess Consort, your servants can do it."
They had always perceived Li Xianyun to be a favored concubine of the Khan, extremely beautiful, and also kind and gentle towards the servants.
