Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

On this day, the sun was shining brightly, the breeze was not dry, the fragrance of flowers floated in the air, and birds were singing. Concubine De sat on a jade chair, playing with an emerald jade bracelet in her hand, chatting with Nanny Gui. The two of them drank fragrant tea and talked about trivial matters in the palace. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed.

"Madam Gui, look, as the days go by, there has been no joy of new life in Yinzhen's mansion since Hongpan was born." Concubine De sighed slightly, with a trace of worry between her brows.

Upon hearing this, Nanny Gui thought for a moment, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Don't worry, Madam. It won't be long before the annual palace selection will be held. We were unable to select people for the Fourth Master's mansion in the previous times due to various reasons. Why don't we take this opportunity to select a few more princesses for the Fourth Master to enter the mansion this time?"

After hearing this, Concubine De's eyes lit up and she nodded, saying, "You are right. It is time to add some new people to Yinzhen's house. Aunt Gui, go and get the list of names for this selection. I want to take a good look at it."

Nanny Gui took the order and left. After a while, she took a list and respectfully presented it to Concubine De. Concubine De took the list and read it carefully, nodding and frowning from time to time.

Aunt Gui stood aside and said softly, "Your Majesty, there is another princess who is quite special in this selection."

"Oh? What's so special about it?" Defei raised her head and asked curiously.

"This princess is the daughter of the Wuya family. Her name is Wuya Zhixi. According to seniority, she should call the queen aunt." Aunt Gui said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, De Fei's eyes flashed with surprise, and she said, "So she is the daughter of the Wu Ya family. This is a good fate. Aunt Gui, what do you think of Zhi Xi?"

"Your Majesty, this Princess Zhixi is the youngest daughter of the Wuya family. She has been spoiled since childhood and has a lively and cheerful personality. She is quite compatible with the calm and introverted character of the Fourth Master, and perhaps she can bring a new atmosphere to the Fourth Master's mansion." Nanny Gui reported truthfully.

After hearing this, Concubine De nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's great. It's settled then. Let Wu Ya Zhixi enter the palace and become a new princess in Yinzhen's palace."

After selecting Uya as the newcomer in Yinzhen's mansion, Concubine De did not stop there. Her eyes once again swept over the thick list of concubines.

She was always concerned about the situation in Yinzhen's mansion. Needless to say, Fujin Yiya was very important to her. However, apart from her, all the concubines in the mansion were from the Han Army Banner. For a royal descendant like Yinzhen, the origin of the women in the mansion was also a symbol of status and should not be underestimated.

So, while looking through the list, Concubine De discussed in a low voice with Nanny Gui, trying to pick out a woman with a prominent family background and good character and appearance.

"Your Majesty, look at this page, there is a Niu Hulu Qingran." Nanny Gui said, pointing to a place on the list.

When Concubine De heard this, her eyes immediately fell on the name. She nodded slightly and said, "Niu Hulu is a famous family name. This girl should have a good family background."

"Your Majesty is right, but I know very little about this Niu Hulu Qingran. Why don't I send someone to find out more about her?" suggested Nanny Gui.

Concubine De nodded and said, "Okay, send someone there quickly. If this woman is really as good as the rumors say, then she should be the second choice."

Nanny Gui took the order and left. The Wuya family had some influence in the palace, so it was no problem for them to get the news. Not long after, Nanny Gui came back with the news.

"Your Majesty, I have found out everything." Nanny Gui presented a secret report to Concubine De.

De Fei took the secret report and read it carefully. It recorded in detail Niu Hulu Qingran's background, character and appearance, all of which were excellent choices.

After reading it, Concubine De nodded with satisfaction and said to Nanny Gui, "This Niu Hulu Qingran is indeed a good girl, let's marry her."

Therefore, Concubine De and Nanny Gui decided to select Nianhulu Qingran into Yinzhen's house. Nanny Gui immediately prepared the relevant matters and told Emperor Kangxi the good news.

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Kangxi sat upright, his red brush gently scratching on the memorials, his brows knitted, concentrating on handling the affairs of state. At this time, the eunuch Li Dequan walked into the palace and whispered, "Your Majesty, someone from the Yonghe Palace wants to see you."

Kangxi raised his head, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, put down the pen in his hand, and said, "Let them in."

After a while, the messenger from Yonghe Palace came in. He performed a standard court salute to Kangxi, and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Empress Defei sent a servant to report to you a matter."

Kangxi nodded slightly, signaling the messenger to continue. The messenger cleared his throat and continued, "This time, the Empress Defei carefully selected two women for the Fourth Prince Yinzhen."

Hearing this, Kangxi's eyes flashed with interest and asked, "Oh? Which two women are they?"

The messenger replied: "One is Wuya clan, and the other is Niuhulu Qingran."

After hearing this, Kangxi nodded and expressed satisfaction with Defei's choice. He knew that Niuhulu's family was prominent, and that their family had served as officials for generations, and that many of the women in the family were talented and beautiful. Defei's vision was always unique, and the person she chose must have outstanding qualities.

"Niu Hulu Qingran... I remember this surname." Kangxi pondered for a moment and continued, "Since Concubine De chose her, she must be a good woman."

After hearing this, the messenger secretly admired Kangxi's wisdom and insight. He bowed his head and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. The Empress Defei is quite satisfied with these two women. I believe they will definitely add luster to the mansion of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen."

Kangxi smiled and nodded, approving the envoy's answer. He knew that Concubine De had always been concerned about Yinzhen's growth and marriage, and that this small selection must have been made after careful consideration.

"Go back and tell Concubine De," Kangxi said, "I am quite satisfied with her choice. Tell Yinzhen to treat them well and not to disappoint Concubine De."

The messenger was delighted when he heard this and quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will definitely pass your words on to the Empress Defei."

After saying this, the envoy respectfully left the Qianqing Palace.

In this way, Yinzhen's mansion is about to welcome two new favorites - Wuya and Niuhulu Qingran. These two women are not only of prominent family backgrounds, but also of good character and appearance. I believe that their arrival will definitely add a lot of vitality to Yinzhen's mansion.
