Afraid of being laughed at by foreigners! What are the incredible rules for Cixi to eat?

Empress dowager cixi has a rule of eating, that is, she sits alone and everyone else stands. Princess De Ling has lived abroad for many years and is not used to this rule.

Empress Dowager Cixi seemed to see that Princess De Ling was not used to it and patiently explained to her, saying, "I'm sorry, you have to eat standing up, but these are the rules set by your ancestors. I can't break them. Even the queen can't sit in front of me. If foreigners know how we treat women in the palace, they will certainly laugh at us as barbarians. But you will soon find that my approach in front of them is completely different, and they simply can't see my true colors. "
