Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

The next morning, the morning mist in Yonghe Palace had not yet completely dissipated, but Yi Ya had already walked in. Her palace skirt fluttered gently in the breeze, bringing a fresh breath from outside the palace.

"I pay my respects to my mother. May my mother be blessed with good health and good health." Yi Ya lowered her head and performed a standard palace etiquette.

Concubine De nodded slightly, with a faint smile on her face: "No need to be polite, you are from the Fourth Family. You are here."

Yi Ya thanked her softly, and then sat down at the signal of Concubine De. She adjusted her sitting posture slightly, and then said softly: "Mother, Yi Ya came here today to discuss with you about the matter of the little Hesheli."

De Fei was slightly stunned, then sighed: "I have also heard about her experience, it is indeed sympathetic. But there are some things that we cannot easily intervene in."

Yi Ya was a little puzzled: "Mother, are we just going to watch her suffer? If we can lend a helping hand, maybe we can change her fate."

Defei shook her head: "Yiya, you should understand that the affairs of the palace are far more complicated than you think. The affairs of the Tong family are not something we can easily get involved in."

Yi Ya frowned: "Mother, I don't understand. We just want to help little Hesheli, why not?"

De Fei was silent for a moment, then said earnestly: "Yiya, sometimes, helping someone is not as simple as lending a hand. Little Hesheli's affairs involve the power and interests of the Tong family, which is not something we can easily change. If she can't stand up on her own, then no matter how hard we try, it will be in vain."

Yi Ya was silent. She understood that what Concubine De said made sense, but she still felt unwilling in her heart: "Your Majesty, is there really nothing we can do?"

De Fei gently patted Yi Ya's hand and said, "Yiya, we can pray and do our best to help those in need. But sometimes, the wheel of fate cannot be reversed by human power. We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate."

Yi Ya lowered her head. Although she felt a little unwilling, she also understood that Concubine De's admonition was out of concern and protection for her. She took a deep breath, raised her head, and a firm light flashed in her eyes: "Mother, I understand. I will remember your words, do my best, and leave the rest to fate."

Just as the two were chatting, Nanny Gui hurried in from outside the house, looking a little anxious.

She leaned over to Defei's ear and whispered something. When Defei heard it, her face changed slightly and she quickly asked, "What happened to the Third Prince?"

Aunt Gui replied, "It's nothing serious, just a leg injury."

Concubine De breathed a sigh of relief, but she still couldn't hide her worry between her brows: "What's going on?"

Nanny Gui hesitated for a moment before telling the story: "It turned out that after Jingzhao Yin took over Li Si'er's case, he locked Li Si'er up in Jingzhao Yin's jail. After Longkodo found out, he refused to give in and kept making a scene in front of Jingzhao Yin's door all day, asking Zhao Shicheng to release Li Si'er as soon as possible."

De Fei nodded. She was not surprised by Longkodo's behavior. "Zhao Shicheng is a tough man. He is strict in his work and always acts vigorously. Therefore, he has always had a bad reputation among the ministers. His colleagues say that he is a stone in the toilet, smelly and hard. It's no wonder that Longkodo was turned away when he went against him."

Nanny Gui echoed, "Your Majesty is right. After being rejected by Zhao Shicheng, Longkodo was so angry that he rode his horse down the street to ask Kangxi for help. However, he accidentally bumped into the Third Prince who was just leaving the palace. The Third Prince was unable to dodge and injured his leg."

After hearing this, Concubine De sighed softly: "Longkodo is really too impulsive. Now, not only did he fail to help Li Si'er, but he also hurt the Third Prince."

Yi Ya also showed a worried look: "This leg injury can be serious or minor. What if it leaves a permanent disease?"

De Fei pondered for a moment and said, "Madam Gui, please get ready. Yi Ya and I will go to Rong Fei later. Yi Ya, this matter is related to you after all. Let's go together to apologize to Rong Fei for causing Third Prince to be injured in vain."

Yiya and Aunt Gui nodded and agreed: "Yes, my lady. I will do it right away."

Nanny Gui hurried back and forth, her figure leaving a hurried silhouette on the carved window frames and the exquisite palace walls. After a while, she was holding an exquisite gift box in her hands, and the wrinkles on her face were smoothed out, obviously having completed her task.

De Fei gently took Yi Ya's hand, and the two walked briskly and orderly through the long palace corridor and came to Rong Fei's bedroom. The palace door opened slightly, and a breeze blew past, causing the corners of clothes to flutter and hair to dance.

"Sister Rong Fei, sorry to bother you." De Fei's voice was gentle and kind. She bowed slightly and saluted to Rong Fei.

Rong Fei sat on the couch, wearing luxurious clothes and an exquisite phoenix crown on her head, with a look of majesty that could not be ignored. However, her eyes softened when they met Yi Ya.

Yi Ya stepped forward and bowed to Concubine Rong according to the palace rules: "Yiya greets Concubine Rong."

Rong Fei smiled and nodded, indicating that she didn't need to be polite. Then several people sat around on the soft couch, and the palace maids gently poured tea for them. The fragrance of tea filled the air, adding a bit of tranquility to the atmosphere in the palace.

Concubine De sighed softly, with a guilty look on her face: "Sister Rongfei, I came here this time to apologize to you for what happened a few days ago. If it weren't for the misunderstanding between Yiya and the Fourteenth Prince on the street, Longkodo wouldn't have ridden his horse into the palace, and the Third Prince wouldn't have been injured."

Rong Fei picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put it down. Her eyes fell on De Fei's face and she said softly, "Sister De Fei, this matter cannot be blamed entirely on Yi Ya and Fourteenth Prince. It can only be said that Third Prince was unlucky and happened to encounter this kind of thing. Yi Ya, don't blame yourself. Third Prince has received the best medical treatment in the palace. I believe he will recover soon."

Yi Ya felt a warm current in her heart when she heard Rong Fei's words. She looked up at Rong Fei with gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you for your comfort, Rong Fei. Yi Ya is very grateful."

Defei was also relieved. She knew Rongfei's character very well, and it was not easy to get her forgiveness this time. However, when the topic turned to Longkodo, Rongfei's expression became a little serious.

"However, speaking of Longkodo, I am really a little angry." Rong Fei's voice was a little cold, "Because of the relationship between the late Empress Xiaokangzhang and Empress Xiaoyiren, I have always treated the Tong family well. But this time Longkodo's behavior was too arrogant. I must not let the Tong family get carried away because of this incident. I must let them know that even if they are royal relatives, they cannot act recklessly in the palace."

Defei and Yiya looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes. They knew that Rongfei's words meant that the Tong family was about to face a big storm. However, they also understood that Rongfei did this to maintain the order and rules of the palace, and she had to do it.

In the following conversation, the four of them talked about some trivial matters in the palace and the recent weather.
