The prefecture government office was quieter than usual.
Strictly speaking, not only were the officials idle, but even the nominal Lord Pei was just sitting under a tree drinking tea, watching the sky darkening and the sunset fading into the west.
A few maidens were serving the "lord," secretly pouting, unable to stop their legs from turning inward, occasionally glancing towards the back hall.
After a busy day, they were hungry as well, thinking to themselves that this man posing as the prefect seemed addicted to the act, strutting around all day as if there were many important matters waiting for his attention.
In reality, however?
In this Xingqing Prefecture, there was practically nothing for the government office to handle.
