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

Chapter 043 Slap and Sweet Dates

Xiao Baobao was probably angry, and she didn't go to see Yin Ji for a long time. Yin Ji was not disturbed, and even handled government affairs very smoothly.

One day before the New Year, his subordinates had no serious work, so he simply stopped writing in advance, and let the court officials relax for a day.

But this sudden relaxation made him a little overwhelmed.

He sat in the imperial study, looking at the empty desk, and an inexplicable confusion and fatigue suddenly surged up. He relaxed his body and leaned back on the chair, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and did not move for a long time.

Cai Tianxi looked at him in confusion. Recently, Yin Ji was busy until three o'clock every day before returning to Qianyuan Palace. Now he finally had some free time, and he should go back to rest. Why did he sit here instead?

But he didn't dare to ask, so he could only make a cup of ginseng tea and come in.

Yin Ji picked up the teacup but didn't drink it. He stared at the tea and began to be dazed. Cai Tianxi tried to ask: "Is the emperor tired? Let me give you a massage?"

Yin Ji didn't say anything, but suddenly looked up through the door of the imperial study to the palace wall. As the year was coming to an end, the palace had been completely renewed, with big red lanterns with the word "Fu" written everywhere, which looked very festive.

"It's the New Year, and it should be lively."

Cai Tianxi chatted with him for a few words: "Isn't it? Just now, I saw that the Shangfu Bureau was sending gold melon seeds and gold and silver nude seeds to each palace according to regulations."

Those things were given to palace servants on the first day of the New Year. Not only the concubines would give rewards to palace servants, but Yin Ji would also do so. However, he didn't bother with these things. They were all handled by Xie Yun. However, she personally packed so many red envelopes, but there was nothing for her.

He didn't know what she was thinking at that time...

"Your Majesty?"

Cai Tianxi suddenly spoke, interrupting Yin Ji's somewhat messy thoughts. He frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

"It's time for breakfast. How about I ask Lady Liangpin to serve?"

Yin Ji often went to Changnian Palace recently. Dou Ankang would not get close to him, let alone pester him to talk, play chess, or walk around. It was very quiet there, which allowed him to relax a little.

But today he was too lazy to move and didn't want to see anyone.

"Forget it, just eat here."

Cai Tianxi hurried to pass the message, and soon he came back with a food box, followed by Xiao Chi, the Minister of State Affairs.

Thinking that he was the elder of the Xiao family and had taught him when he was young, Yin Ji politely gave him a seat, but Xiao Chi talked about it left and right, not mentioning a word about government affairs, but instead mentioned the affairs of the harem in a roundabout way.

"It's better to know the whole story of the person who is with you, Your Majesty, don't you think so?"

Yin Ji understood that he was talking about his neglect of Xiao Baobao. No wonder the girl was so quiet recently. He thought that she had understood some truths, but it turned out that she had complained to her family.

Xiao Chi is the second branch of the Xiao family and Xiao Baobao's uncle. At present, the head of the Xiao family has taken the position of Grand Master and is living in Lanling. All the children of the Xiao family in the capital are headed by Xiao Chi. It was also he who started the previous opposition to the cold disaster regulations.
