It has been raining persistently in Swamp Prefecture these days. Zhao Yao couldn't go out to handle matters, so he had to return to Prince Han Mansion.
Honestly speaking, Zhao Yao was reluctant to return to the Prince Mansion because once he did, a pile of things awaited him. Just as he got back, he was "escorted" by Wen Daoji and others to attend court.
During these times, Zhao Yao had been busy outside, so busy that he hadn't attended court, accumulating many matters. Ordinary issues were typically handled by Wen Daoji and others, but for critical matters, they couldn't make the decisions, and Zhao Yao had to step in.
At the court session, ministers reported a heap of issues, and even after it ended, many tasks awaited Zhao Yao, causing him much headache. Fortunately, the cabinet had preliminarily handled some matters, leaving it to Zhao Yao to approve them. Even so, as Prince Han, Zhao Yao had to review the cabinet's preliminary reports before making final decisions.
