Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

With Li Gege's house arrest, the palace life in Shengjing returned to its former tranquility. Yinzhen was rewarded by Kangxi for his outstanding performance in growing high-yield crops in Shengjing, and was granted a few days of rest. So Yinzhen took the opportunity to stay in Yiya's room during these days of free time, and accompanied Yiya and their son Honghui wholeheartedly.

On this day, the sun shines through the window onto the bed, Yinzhen and Yiya sit side by side, accompanying young Honghui. The air is filled with the fragrance of angelica, and Yinzhen holds a tiger-headed doll made of angelica in his hand. The doll's eyes are inlaid with obsidian, and its nose is carved from the finest Hetian jade. It is lifelike and very cute.

"Ahhh!" Honghui pointed at the tiger-head doll in Yinzhen's hand, his eyes flashing with curiosity and desire.

Yinzhen deliberately shook the doll even more happily, and then quickly retracted his hand when Honghui reached out to grab it. Honghui's little hand was empty, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he giggled and reached out to grab it again.

"Ahhh!" Honghui yelled as if to say "Father is bad, Father is bad"

Yi Ya couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene. She had never seen Yin Zhen so childish before. This scene of interaction with his son made her feel both novel and warm. She took a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat off Hong Hui's forehead, and said gently, "Master, don't tease him anymore. Look how anxious this child is."

At the moment when Yi Ya wiped the sweat off Honghui's face, Honghui actually struggled to sit up and crawled towards Yinzhen. He used his small hands and feet, and although his movements were still a little clumsy, his perseverance was touching.

"Fujin, look! Honghui, Honghui can crawl!" Yinzhen exclaimed in surprise, his face filled with a smile of pride and joy.

Yi Ya also saw this scene, and her eyes sparkled with excitement and pride. She quickly praised: "Hong Hui is really great!"

The two of them sat quietly on the bed, watching Honghui crawling around on the bed. Their hearts were filled with happiness and satisfaction, enjoying this warm and beautiful parent-child time.

"Fujin, you have taken good care of Honghui. Thank you for your hard work." Yinzhen said to Yiya affectionately.

Yi Ya responded tactfully: "My Lord, it's not hard, it's what I should do." Her eyes met Yin Zhen's, and she felt the deep affection in his eyes. At this moment, she seemed to see the fruit of their love, Hong Hui, growing up healthily under their joint efforts and care.

Honghui crawled to Yinzhen and grabbed the tiger-head doll. He chuckled, with a satisfied light in his eyes. Seeing Honghui so energetic, Yinzhen and Yiya smiled at each other, their hearts full of expectations and blessings for the future.

At this moment, they seemed to feel the tranquility and beauty of the world, as if the whole world was immersed in this warmth and joy.

……

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in the courtyard, and the golden light coated every corner with a layer of warm color. Yiya and Yinzhen played with Honghui all day, and the children's laughter filled the whole space. As the sun gradually set, the day passed quietly without noticing.

Bai Zhu quietly came to Yi Ya and asked softly, "Fu Jin, it's getting late, are you going to prepare dinner?" Yi Ya came back to her senses, nodded slightly, and signaled Bai Zhu to prepare it. Bai Zhu immediately understood, and withdrew with Nanny Su and began to get busy.

Yi Ya originally wanted Yin Zhen to stay for dinner just out of politeness. "It's getting late, why don't you stay for dinner?" She thought Yin Zhen would go back to his room to rest at night, so she didn't care too much.

However, Yinzhen unexpectedly agreed. "Okay! Then I have to see what delicious food Fu Jin will prepare tonight." Seeing Yi Ya's surprised expression, Yinzhen couldn't help but smile in his heart, with a gentle light flashing in his eyes.

After dinner, the two played with Honghui for a while. The child gradually became sleepy, and Yiya said to the nanny softly, "Take Honghui down to rest."

Then, she turned to Yinzhen and smiled, "Master, I will go wash up first."

Yinzhen nodded in agreement, and then called Su Peisheng to prepare toiletries for him.

"Yes, I'll prepare it right away." Under Su Peisheng's service, Yinzhen finished washing up first, and then sat beside the bed, waiting quietly for Yiya.

Yi Ya came in accompanied by Nanny Wang, with a trace of fatigue on her face, but satisfaction and happiness in her eyes. She walked to Yin Zhen, and the two smiled at each other, and all the words turned into the tacit understanding and warmth of this moment.

"Honghui had a really good time today, and I was very happy too." Yi Ya said softly.

"Yes, I am also very happy to have you and Honghui around me." Yinzhen looked at Yiya affectionately, his eyes full of tenderness.

The two chatted for a while, and then lay down to rest together. The moonlight shone through the window lattice, adding a bit of romance to this wonderful night. Under the witness of the moonlight, the two fell asleep in each other's arms, spending a warm and beautiful night.

That night, their hearts were closely connected, and their emotions intertwined and sublimated in the night.

……

On Yi Ya's side, there was constant laughter and joy, just like the warm spring sun, warm and full of vitality. However, in another corner of the palace, the confined Li Gege was like a fallen leaf in autumn, gloomy and lonely.

Although she was the one who proposed the house arrest, the people in the palace were not aware of it, so the servants all thought that Li Gege had fallen out of favor. They looked at Li Gege coldly, even with a hint of disdain.

"These people are so snobbish that they think I'm in such an attitude just because I've fallen out of favor." Li Gege sat in front of the window of her boudoir, looking at the gloomy sky outside, and sneered coldly. Her voice was full of bitterness and helplessness.

Zitan is Li Gege's personal maid, and she has been silently accompanying Li Gege. She knows that Li Gege's heart is full of anger and dissatisfaction, but she also knows that at this moment, any words are superfluous.

"Princess, don't be angry." Zitan comforted softly, "This is only temporary. After a while, everything will be fine."

However, Li Gege did not answer. She just sat there in silence, with a determined light in her eyes. She knew that her confinement was not for escape, but for a bigger plan. However, she also understood that this plan would require patience and time.

As time went by, Li Gege's life did not get better. On the contrary, she found that the attitudes of the servants towards her became colder, and sometimes they even used some sarcastic words to provoke her.

"Look, this is the once favored Li Gege, but now she is just an abandoned woman who has fallen out of favor." A maid deliberately said loudly when passing by Li Gege's door.

"That's right. I don't know if the master will still remember it after the house arrest is lifted." Another maid also agreed.

When Li Gege heard this, she was furious, but she did not lose her temper. She just looked at the maid coldly and then turned back to the house.

"Gege, don't listen to their nonsense." Seeing Li Gege's reaction, Zi Tan said worriedly, "They are just ignorant people, not worth your anger."

"I know." Li Gege said calmly, "I won't be angry about what they said. I know what I am doing and what my goal is. I won't give up because of their sarcasm."

After hearing this, Zitan was moved. She knew that although Li Gege looked indifferent on the surface, she was full of determination and resolve in her heart. She decided to work harder to support Li Gege and help her through this difficult time.

In this way, Li Gege silently waited for the opportunity to come during the days of house arrest. She knew that only by becoming stronger could she better protect herself and achieve her goals.
