“And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,”
When the days of mourning had passed, Joseph said to Pharaoh's court: if I have found favor in your eyes, speak to Pharaoh for me. Tell him. The approach to Pharaoh through his court — not directly — is Joseph's continued deference to the protocols of Egyptian court life even in his personal grief. The application: the covenant person who holds high position continues to honor the protocols of that position even in the midst of personal grief.
