DOUBLE POINTS+BRAINILIST ANSWER

Looking at the textual evidence below, what character trait would you assign the Empress Meiying? Select all that apply.

In addition to being as beautiful as a lily, the Empress Meiying of China was wise beyond her years. She piously honored her ancestors—burning fragrant incense and offering elaborate feasts up to them—and thereby brought harmony and goodwill upon the Imperial Palace and all of China. When the auguries informed her she was pregnant with an Imperial daughter, she was careful to read only soothing works of poetry, gaze at pleasing colors, and guard herself against outbursts of bad temper so that her child would be sweet-natured and wise. (From “The Tiger Fortune Princess” by Eugie Foster)
