Throughout the entire month of September, Fourth Master was as busy as a spinning top.
He had only seen the newly born Fourth Prince three times. Even that was quite a lot.
As for Ye Zao, he inquired about her every day, only bringing her over for dinner one day and staying with her for one night.
This busyness lasted until the Jinfen Festival.
On the twelfth of October, the day before the Jinfen Festival, he could finally put his work to rest tomorrow. This time, he would rest for seven days no matter what.
Fourth Master was not one to ignore the hardship of his officials; recently, as tired as he was, the senior officials were even more so.
"During the Jinfen Festival, our own people can just come to the palace for a meal. Since it's still the Late Emperor's mourning period, there's no need for grand preparations. All of you should go back to your residences to celebrate the festival," Fourth Master dismissed with a wave of his hand during the morning court session.
