On this day, there were few government affairs, so he returned to Qianyuan Palace in the afternoon. Cai Tianxi asked him diligently if he wanted Concubine Xuan to serve him. He waved his hand, picked up a book to kill time, and watched the sun slowly set. It was still very quiet.
The book in his hand was turned over page by page, the lamps and candles were changed, but still no one came back from Qianyuan Palace.
Yin Ji frowned and closed the book, and his eyes fell on Cai Tianxi. The other person was confused and his tone was very confused: "Your Majesty?"
Yin Ji withdrew his gaze again, and his eyes floated up a little. The third watch passed quietly, and Cai Tianxi whispered: "Your Majesty, it's time to rest."
Rest?
Yin Ji threw the book on the low table and made little movement, but in the dead of night, the movement still made Cai Tianxi's heart skip a beat and he lowered his head with guilt.
However, Yin Ji didn't say anything, only looked at him solemnly.
Cai Tianxi could no longer pretend to be stupid, so she could only say: "Your Majesty, I went to Changxin Palace today, but Miss Xie Yun is indeed very busy..."
Before he finished speaking, Yin Ji interrupted him and said in a very impatient tone: "Who told you to go find her? Is my Qianyuan Palace short of people to take care of me?"
He flicked his sleeves and entered the inner hall. Cai Tianxi breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Yes, the emperor didn't say a word, but what he said in the morning was clearly to let him tell Xie Yun that no matter how important the errand was, she should never forget her master.
It's better now that he's nosy.
But he was a slave and did not dare to argue with his master. He could only shake his head and walked into the inner hall to wait for Yin Ji to rest, but he was kicked out as soon as he entered the door.
Yin Ji had lived in the Xiao family since he was a child, and he handled his personal affairs very well. Cai Tianxi was kicked out not once or twice. He was very happy and relaxed, and soon returned to his yard.
After Qianyuan Palace was completely quiet, Xie Yun returned to Qianyuan Palace tiredly, and went to Changxin Palace before dawn the next day.
The Queen Mother was probably still angry that Yin Ji did not hand over the affairs of the palace to Huipin. She left many matters that should be handled by Changxin Palace to Xie Yun. In addition, there were several more masters this year, and the errands were like a mountain. It was all smashed down, making her quite breathless.
 In addition, she had been locked up for too long some time ago and was in a bad state of mind. In just a few days, Xie Yun was so tired that her head ached.
But she was born with a strong temper, and even if she really felt uncomfortable, she would just grit her teeth and endure it. She couldn't really be useless except in bed.
There was a commotion outside. The maid of Changxin who came to deliver breakfast said that the concubines were here to pay their respects to the Queen Mother, including the sick concubines.
Xie Yun was stunned for a moment before he realized that today was Laba. No wonder all the sick and concubines were here.
But this kind of excitement has nothing to do with her. The closer to the new year, the more pressure she gets.
After eating a hasty breakfast, she started writing a booklet to arrange the staff. The banquet of the previous dynasty was the most complicated. The courtiers' preferences and rankings; the staff to serve, the dishes, utensils, singing and dancing had to be carefully considered, and all the arrangements had to be carefully considered. After it is done, she has to check it with the Ministry of Etiquette.
The family banquet in the harem should be more elaborate, and the queen mother and concubines must be alert to the thoughts. After all, the blessing on the day of the annual banquet is of great significance. Without the queen in the palace, some troubles will inevitably occur.
She frowned and thought hard, and her forehead felt dull pain. She raised her hand and rubbed it, but when she took it off, her forehead was wet.
She grabbed the handkerchief and wiped it, but it turned out to be a bright red color. Only then did she realize that she had held the pen for too long and the wound on her hand had split.
Yao Huang, the palace maid who was waiting for the pen and ink, was also stunned for a moment, and quickly untied the cloth belt for her, and then she was frightened by the rather ferocious injury and ducked away.
She knew Xie Yun's hand was injured before, but she didn't expect it to be so severe. Frostbite and burns, the entire back of the hand was full of ulcerated blood, and blood was oozing out.
"Ah, what's wrong with your hands..."
Xie Yun put the handkerchief on the back of her hand to cover the unbearable wound: "Please go get some clean white cloth."
Yao Huang quickly agreed and hurried out, but as soon as she reached the door, she saw a shadow standing beside the door. She didn't know how long he had been here. His eyes were as deep as the sea, and his dragon robe was so dazzling that it hurt her eyes.
She subconsciously wanted to kneel down, but the words of worship were on her lips but she was blocked by the other party with a wave of her hand. She did not dare to speak and left in a hurry.
Yin Ji's eyes fell on Xie Yun again. Changxin Palace was not Qianyuan Palace, and no one lived in the side hall. The earth dragon was naturally sealed. After Xie Yun came here, there was only an extra charcoal basin, but because of this, if you want to interact with people from the Sixth Palace and the Twenty-Fourth Division, the door is wide open, so the role of the charcoal basin is somewhat pitiful.
Xie Yun's ears are all red.
Lively chatter and laughter came from the main hall, Xiao Baobao was saying that Huipin's powder was delicious, and Zhuang Fei was praising Dou Ankang's clothes for their unique colors.
A peaceful and happy place.
Yin Ji suddenly remembered his previous excuse. Maybe the people who cared about them really wouldn't let them do such a laborious job.
