Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

Yinzhen returned from the palace, his steps slightly tired, but the determination and sharpness in his eyes had not diminished. Following behind him was his loyal attendant Su Peisheng.

"Su Peisheng, go and call Gao Wuyong." Yinzhen stopped and called out lightly.

"Yes." Then Su Peisheng turned around and looked for Gao Wuyong.

After a while, Yinzhen sat at the desk in the study in the front yard.

Gao Wuyong stepped forward, lowered his head and said, "I pay my respects to you, my Lord. I wonder what you want me to do for you."

"What happened in the mansion recently?" Yinzhen asked. Although his voice was calm, it revealed a majesty that could not be ignored.

Gao Wuyong's heart tightened. He knew his master's sharpness and wisdom very well, so he didn't dare to hide anything. "My lord, everything is fine in the mansion. It's just that the second prince caught a cold a few days ago, but he has recovered now."

Yinzhen frowned slightly, and his voice revealed a subtle worry: "Second Prince has always been in poor health, is there anything serious?"

"Fortunately, Li Gege reported it to Nanny Wang in time, and Nanny Wang has invited the imperial physician to treat him. Li Gege has also been guarding the Second Prince day and night, and now the Second Prince is fine." Gao Wuyong answered cautiously.

Yinzhen nodded, and his worries were slightly relieved. He knew that although Li Gege was confused about her family's affairs, she was a careful and responsible mother, and she had put more effort into the second prince than ordinary people.

"Is Li Gege still under house arrest?" Yinzhen asked suddenly.

Gao Wuyong replied, "Yes, Master. Because of her father's incident, Li Gege voluntarily requested to be confined to her residence and is still in the palace."

Yinzhen was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved. In his impression, although Li Gege was sometimes spoiled, she chose to sacrifice her freedom for the sake of family affairs. Therefore, he did not punish her too much.

"Prepare the sedan chair and go to Li Gege's courtyard." Yinzhen ordered.

Gao Wuyong retreated in response, and soon, an exquisite sedan stopped in the front yard. Yinzhen stepped into the sedan, followed by Su Peisheng. The sedan was slowly lifted up and moved towards Li Gege's yard.

Soon, Yinzhen arrived at Li Gege's courtyard. After getting off the sedan chair, he did not go in immediately, but stood in the courtyard, quietly looking around. The flowers and plants in the courtyard were still there, but the people were no longer there.

In the courtyard, the fragrance of flowers filled the air and the chirping of birds filled the air. Yinzhen felt an inexplicable joy and anticipation.

They walked into the yard and saw Li Gege playing with Da Gege in the yard, and the second prince lying in a rocking bed beside them. Da Gege's laughter was crisp and pleasant, and Li Gege's face was filled with tenderness and kindness.

Yinzhen watched this scene quietly, feeling extremely relieved. He walked to Li Gege and asked softly, "Are the children all right?"

Li Gege looked up and saw Yinzhen, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Master, you are here. The children are all fine, especially the second prince, his illness is completely cured." Li Gege did not expect that Yinzhen would come to see her and the children first after returning home. She thought Yinzhen should stay with Fu Jin now.

Yinzhen nodded, his eyes full of concern: "You have worked hard, taking care of them all the time."

Li Gege smiled calmly: "For the sake of the children, I don't feel anything is hard."

The eldest princess ran over and took Yinzhen's hand: "Father, Father, you haven't come to see me for a long time."

Yinzhen squatted down and gently stroked the eldest princess' head: "Father has been very busy recently, but I have been missing you."

Then Yinzhen held the eldest princess in his arms and asked gently, "What are you playing recently? Why are you having so much fun?"

The eldest princess raised the doll in her hand and said excitedly: "Ama, look, this is my new doll."

Yinzhen smiled as he listened to the eldest princess talk about her new toy. Looking at her innocent smile, the fatigue in his heart seemed to be blown away by a breeze. He played with the eldest princess for a while, and seeing her happy face, he also felt the long-lost relaxation and comfort.

However, happiness is always short-lived. Soon, the eldest princess suddenly raised her head and looked at Yinzhen with her crystal clear eyes, with a little childish expectation in her voice: "Father, can you stay and play with me?"

Yinzhen looked at the expectant eyes of the eldest princess, and his heart softened. He turned to look at Li Gege standing beside him, and saw a glimmer of hope in her eyes. He knew that the eldest princess and Li Gege both hoped that he could stay and spend this wonderful night with them.

However, Li Gege also knew that Yinzhen should visit his wife in the main courtyard on the first night after returning from his tour. So she just stayed quietly aside and didn't say anything.

Yinzhen saw that although Li Gege wanted to stay, she didn't let him stay, thinking that this confinement was still useful. So he said to Su Peisheng, "Go to the main courtyard and tell them that I won't be coming over tonight."

Su Peisheng was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and bowed and replied, "Yes, Master."

In this way, Yinzhen stayed in Li Gege's yard and played with the eldest princess until nightfall.

The night was dim, and Su Peisheng came hurriedly, breaking the quiet atmosphere. He came to the front of Yi Ya Fu Jin, bowed his head and reported: "Fu Jin, the master will not come tonight."

Yi Ya raised her head slightly, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She said calmly, "I know." There was a hint of helplessness and acceptance in her voice.

Seeing this, Su Peisheng said no more and bowed and left. His footsteps echoed in the empty courtyard and gradually faded away.

As soon as Su Peisheng left, Nanny Wang came up to him, her face full of indignation. She whispered, "Fujin, look, this Li Gege is really a seductress. I thought this confinement would make her more restrained, but I never thought that she would seduce me as soon as I came back."

Yi Ya frowned slightly and interrupted Nanny Wang: "Mammy, these things cannot be discussed casually. What happens to Li Gege is all my decision." Although her voice was calm, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Nanny Wang bit her lip unwillingly, but still replied in a low voice: "Yes, Fu Jin." She paused and continued: "But, Fu Jin, you are the master of this mansion, and I should come to you first."

Yi Ya smiled gently and shook her head: "Mammy, the master is the master, he can do whatever he wants. I won't interfere and I won't care." There was a sense of calmness and magnanimity in her words.

Nanny Wang sighed, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything in the end. She knew Lady Yi Ya's temper very well, and knew that it would be useless to say more.

At this moment, Yi Ya suddenly changed the subject: "Mammy, is Honghui awake? If he is, please bring him here." There was a hint of expectation and tenderness in her tone.

Upon hearing this, Nanny Wang quickly responded, "Yes, Madam." Then she turned around and left in a hurry.

Yi Ya looked at Nanny Wang's back, and a complex emotion flashed through her heart. She no longer thought about what Yinzhen was doing at Li Gege's place at this time, but focused all her thoughts on the upcoming parent-child time.

As the night deepened, the main courtyard was brightly lit. Yiya held Honghui in her arms and coaxed him to sleep with soft words. The mother and son enjoyed the rare peace and happiness in this warm night.
