The Min Family was the real noble family in the capital, and they had officers working for the court for many generations. They even had the token of a death sentence pardon, which was a special authority for only this family. Although the Min Family had no power right now, Mrs. Min was still there, and the Min Family was still influential like before.
And the Min Family was indeed a family that stuck to rules.
There was a screen separating the women and men at the banquet, and the master of the Min Family would receive guests at the gate whenever a banquet took place. Therefore, the rules at the Min Family were very strict.
This was Madame Min's birthday banquet, so the leading role should be Madame Min.
However, at the moment, Madame Min was seated alone with no one greeting her, yet the Crown Prince Consort and the Crown Prince became the leading roles instead.
