There seem no detailed records, but the general ones include the following:
Once seated, no extend arms and legs; Only pick the food in front of her, without getting up for further food; When eating, no obvious chewing sound appears; Turing back if coughing; No leftover should be left.

Moreover, some people said that the princesses should cover their month when eating or drinking at table to avoid others seeing them having/feeding food.
