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

Chapter 117 What's the use of Xiao Baobao

Yin Ji thought that if Concubine Zhuang couldn't do it, Xiao Baobao would have a hard time doing it.

But he didn't expect that she would come to his door just two days later.

At that time, he was reviewing memorials in Qianyuan Palace, and Xie Yun was embroidering the longevity picture in the corridor outside the window. Her hands were still wrapped in gauze, and her movements were a little clumsy, but her expression was very serious.

He was a little distracted while watching.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside, and before Cai Tianxi came in to report, Xiao Baobao rushed in with people.

Yin Ji's heart suddenly bulged, perhaps because he knew that calling the wrong name on the dragon bed was too much. Although he never apologized, he was very taboo to let Xiao Baobao appear in front of Xie Yun.

Now seeing that someone came without saying hello, he felt guilty and flustered for a while.

He almost instinctively glanced at Xie Yun, but the other party just stood up quietly, knelt down from a distance, didn't say anything, didn't even raise her head.

Yin Ji could not see the other person's expression clearly, but he could imagine that it was probably still that peaceful mask.

But what emerged in his mind was the silent tears she shed that night.

He rubbed his old wounds, and stopped Yuepin before anyone approached: "What kind of person are you? How could you trespass into Qianyuan Palace without my summons?"

Xiao Baobao had just been wronged by the Queen Mother, and wanted to find Yin Ji to complain, but was scolded as soon as she entered the door, and immediately pouted and was about to cry.

"The Queen Mother just scolded me, and Brother Ji, you scolded me too, why is my life so miserable!"

As she said this, she was about to sit on the ground. Yin Ji's forehead was throbbing, and he gave Cai Tianxi a look. The other party immediately understood and stepped forward to help Xiao Baobao up: "Empress Yuepin, please talk nicely, so many palace people are watching."

Yuepin was slightly brought back to her senses by what she said, and stood up sullenly, looking at Yin Ji accusingly.

Yin Ji didn't care about her look at all. He glanced at Xie Yun's position from the corner of his eyes, but saw that she had sat down and quietly resumed embroidery.

He was stunned for a moment. In the past, when he was with Xiao Baobao, Xie Yun would take the initiative to avoid her, hiding as far as possible, and her face was not good.

But she was so calm now.

Yin Ji felt a little depressed, and raised his hand to rub his temple irritably: "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Baobao stamped her feet: "It's not the Queen Mother, she is deliberately picking on me. I just took over the affairs of the palace yesterday, and the nanny in charge hadn't figured it out yet. The Changxin Palace said that the water sent over for tea was not right, saying that I was disrespectful to my elders and perfunctory in doing things. They called me over and scolded me. Can I be blamed for this?"

Yin Ji sighed. He knew very well what the Queen Mother was planning, which was to force Xiao Baobao to resign.

But now it was only ten days away from the Queen Mother's birthday. He thought Xiao Baobao would be able to get through it, but he didn't expect that she couldn't stand this little grievance.

"Just be more careful in the future."

Xiao Baobao was relentless: "It's obviously not me who did it, and you want me to be careful. How can I be careful? It has nothing to do with me. I'm so wronged, and you don't comfort me!"
