After half an hour, a rustling sound came from beside.

Lou Jingyu put down the book and looked down at him, then he rubbed his face with his fingers and said with a smile, "You're awake, can you still sleep tonight?"

Ying Shiyi was still dazed when he just woke up. He held Lou Jingyu's fingers, pressed his hand under his face, and squinted for a while before he came to his senses.

He recalled Lou Jingyu's question and nodded.

Lou Jingyu smiled and helped him up.

"Even if you can't sleep, I have a way. Just move more and you'll fall asleep." Lou Jingyu said with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Ying Shiyi thought about it for a while before he realized how this movement worked and his face turned red.

He looked around, but didn't look at Lou Jingyu. He leaned forward and reached out to grab his shoes to get out of bed.

However, Lou Jingyu did not let him get off the bed. Instead, he hugged Ying Shiyi around the waist. The two of them laughed and joked for a while before going to have dinner together.

The meals were arranged by Ying Shiyi as soon as he returned to Canglan Palace. They were afraid that Lou Jingyu would suffer from stomach upset if he ate rashly, so they asked the kitchen to prepare the meals with great care.

Lou Jingyu drank a bowl of five-grain porridge, accompanied by some side dishes and stew, and felt his stomach warmed.

He picked up a lot of dishes for Ying Shiyi and asked curiously, "Didn't Mingyue say that you ate well? Why do I think you've lost weight?"

Ying Shiyi pursed his lips, ate the food that Lou Jingyu picked for him, and said, "I haven't lost weight."

Lou Jingyu laughed and said, "It's lovesickness that makes people thin."

Ying Shiyi's ears turned red and she stopped talking, which meant she agreed.

After the two finished their meal, Lou Jingyu went to handle official business, and Ying Shiyi followed him.

As the saying goes, a short absence is better than a new marriage, and now is the time when it is difficult to separate.

Ying Shiyi supported his chin and sat next to Lou Jingyu, watching him deal with the accumulated official business in an orderly manner.

Although he had helped to deal with a lot of things when Lou Jingyu was in seclusion these days, he was still not familiar with some things and needed Lou Jingyu to make the decisions.

Lou Jingyu stuffed a plate of snacks into Ying Shiyi's hands and asked him to eat while he started working.

I approved some church matters, picked out a few letters that had been delivered in recent days and replied to them, and finally read the New Year greetings sent from outside.

New Year's greetings came one after another, year after year. Some were sent by the managers of the departments under my command, some were from outside sects, and some were sent by officials from neighboring areas.

Lou Jingyu flipped through the letters quickly, picked out a few and put them aside, preparing to have his subordinates draft a reply.

As for the gifts sent, some should not be accepted and some should be returned. I asked Uncle Jiang to do all these things.

Finally, I only have the posts from Qishan Sect left.

Lou Jingyu smiled and said to Ying Shiyi beside him, "Although Chen Zhiyan is not from the Central Plains, he is very considerate in terms of etiquette. On the one hand, he gave me gifts and congratulated me, while on the other hand, he was thinking about how to erode Daxia. He is really a two-faced person."

Ying Shiyi brought the snack to Lou Jingyu's mouth, and after watching him eat it, he leaned over to take a look at the New Year greeting card.

"It's just to cover up his evil intentions," he said, "Just like Ying Yi went out on a mission and came back to clear all traces to avoid alerting the enemy, this Master Chen also had the same idea. The Central Plains martial arts world would send him invitations to wish him a happy new year, so he would naturally follow the crowd. This is the only way to be safe. But he probably didn't expect that we have seen through his background."

Lou Jingyu swallowed the sweet snack in his mouth, looked at Ying Shiyi with a gentle and doting look, nodded and said: "Shiyi is right."

Ying Shiyi smiled embarrassedly. He used to be not very good at expressing his opinions, but Lou Jingyu always encouraged him, and slowly he learned to say these things.

Lou Jingyu thought this was great. His son was an extremely intelligent person and should express his opinions more often.

"The Lantern Festival is coming soon, and the weather will get warmer. I estimate that Yin Qinghe will set a time for the talk show soon, and soon all these troubles will be over." Lou Jingyu said.
