The weather was terribly hot, and Ye Zao, having been excused from the morning greetings, basically stayed in every day.
She only went out when Fourth Master sent someone to invite her to the Qianqing Palace.
Fourth Master was incredibly busy now, bestowing titles on many people inside and outside the court.
He had to prepare for the enthronement ceremony and to send off Emperor Kangxi. Having just ascended to the throne without even a chance to warm up, there were many things he was unfamiliar with. Even getting to know the court officials was not something that could be done quickly.
Fourth Master did have a few trusted followers, but in the past few years, the Late Crown Prince's influence had been severely curtailed, so how could Fourth Master dare to foster his own?
Thus, Fourth Master's trusted followers were only those few people around him.
Prince Rong was assigned to the Ministry of Revenue, taking over the post previously held by Fourth Master.
