Part 1 - Yu Nu Jiao / Jade Slave / Enslaved By Love

Chapter 003 Come to the Door

Perhaps it was because Yin Ji had been keeping her these two days, or perhaps she was worried about how she would live in the future. In short, Xie Yun tossed and turned and couldn't sleep well that night. When she opened her eyes the next day, her head started to ache.

She forced herself to sit up, but when she looked up, she saw that it was bright outside the window. The time for the morning court had probably passed.

She hurriedly got off the ground, ran out in her slippers, and put on her clothes while running, calling the little palace maid who served her: "Xiu Xiu? Where is she? Why didn't you call me? Who served the emperor in the morning? Did he go to the morning court? He..."

Her voice suddenly stopped, because a familiar, tall figure was standing in the outer hall, flipping through the books on the shelf in a leisurely and casual manner.

He had obviously finished the morning court, wearing a black and gold-embroidered casual dress. The emperor's majesty was less, but he became more sharp and cold.

"Your Majesty?"

She came back to her senses and bowed quickly: "I am too lazy, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Yin Ji let her squat, and waited until he finished reading the page in his hand before he casually said: "Come here."

Xie Yun did not dare to hesitate, and walked slowly to his side with her head down, but a hot big hand was pressed against her forehead.

She was startled and could not help but look up.

"Who allowed you not to look directly at me?"

Yin Ji suddenly spoke, and his hand was taken away from her forehead, his face cold and irritable.

Xie Yun lowered her eyes, and she despised herself in her heart. She knew that Yin Ji's temperament had changed drastically since he was recognized by the royal family, but she would still lose her composure because of his occasional gentleness.

"It is my fault that I have overstepped my bounds."

Yin Ji snorted indifferently and handed the book in his hand over: "Although you are a noble lady from an aristocratic family, the rules in the palace are different after all. Miss Xie Yun should do more work if she is capable, so please teach the concubines well."

Xie Yun froze, holding the palace rules in her hand as if it were a hot potato.

Yesterday's sleeping with the emperor had already made her the target of public criticism. Now she was doing something that only the master of the harem could do. She’s afraid that she would become mortal enemies with these four masters.

Her scalp was numb: "Your Majesty, after the decree of conferring the title of concubine was issued, each mansion sent a nanny to teach her. The masters are kind and gentle, so there is no need to..."

"Don't you understand what I said?" Yin Ji interrupted her lightly. Although his voice was still gentle, Xie Yun knew that if she refused again, he would definitely turn hostile.

She had no choice but to sigh and agree: "Yes, I'll go right away."

Before she finished speaking, Yin Ji had already turned around and left without even looking back.

Xie Yun sat down on the chair, rubbing her aching head, staring at the palace rules and sighing. The little palace maid Xiu Xiu, who had disappeared for the whole morning, sneaked in and froze when she saw Xie Yun getting up.

Xie Yun frowned: "What have you been doing? Why didn't you call me this morning?"

The little girl shrank her neck and dared not look up: "Someone in the main hall was looking for something, and I was called over to help."
