Rest days indeed served a purpose. Yesterday, I attended a family banquet at the Song family's residence and spent the better part of the day playing with Song Mu'er. As a result, the fatigue that had accumulated over many days had dissipated significantly, and I felt much lighter.
Had I learned the principle of "relaxation and tension" earlier in life, I definitely wouldn't have struggled so much and wouldn't have ended up here.
Throughout the day, I, as usual, presided over cases at the Chang'an County Government.
It was not until the end of work today that my lifespan increased by three days.
The number of cases I dealt with each day was gradually decreasing. After all, being under the Emperor's nose, there weren't that many cases to begin with. The bustling scene from the previous days was merely the result of accumulated cases. I estimated that in a few days, gaining two additional days of lifespan for each day's judgements would be quite good.
