Ye Zao's pinch hurt a bit, and she frowned in grievance.
Fourth Master quickly loosened his grip and tenderly massaged the spot for her.
"Such a handful," said Fourth Master as he watched her turn over and fall asleep again, without even a hint of snoring.
After some thought, since she was still not fully rested, he decided to let her sleep.
He summoned someone to dress him first, then half coaxed and half carried Yeye Zao, dressing her in her undergarments and wrapping her in a blanket before directly calling for the carriage and helping her onto it.
Fourth Master took only a moment to finish his morning meal before he went to see Emperor Kangxi.
Indeed, a quarter hour later, the carriage started moving.
The carriage swayed, and the four maids all sat with their eyes closed, resting.
Ye Zao felt the movement and knew they were on their way, so she peacefully continued to sleep.
This sleep lasted until midday, when she was finally woken up.
