Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

The morning light from the Fourth Prince's Mansion shone through the light curtains and fell on Li Gege's study. The sunlight gently caressed the scriptures on the desk and also reflected Li Gege's serious and persistent face.

On this day, Li Gege was sitting in the study again, patiently teaching the second prince Hongpan how to read. Recently, the teacher had taught Honghui and the second prince a lot of new knowledge, and Honghui had already memorized the teacher's teachings, but Hongpan seemed to be struggling.

Li Gege gently stroked the pages of the book, her eyes falling on Hong Pan's furrowed brows: "Second brother, what does this sentence 'When three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher' mean?"

Hong Pan scratched his head, his eyes full of confusion: "Mother, I don't quite understand."

Li Gege was not impatient at all, but explained more gently: "This sentence means that no matter where we go, we can learn something from others. Everyone has their own strengths, and we should learn from others with an open mind."

Hong Pan nodded, not quite understanding, and began to try to recite. However, his recitation was always intermittent and incoherent. Li Gege couldn't help but frown, but she knew that impatience was not the solution to the problem.

"Second Prince, learning requires patience and perseverance. Don't be impatient for success, take your time." Li Gege encouraged.

Hong Pan took a deep breath, nodded, and threw himself into studying again. He read and recited over and over again until the sentences in his mouth gradually became fluent.

Li Gege was both pleased and anxious when she saw Hong Pan's efforts. She hoped that her second prince could surpass Fu Jin's eldest prince and become the emperor's pride. However, the reality always made her feel that things were not going as she wished.

But Li Gege did not give up. She knew that only by strictly requiring Hong Pan could he make continuous progress. So she continued to teach him patiently and corrected Hong Pan's mistakes over and over again.

Finally, after reciting again and again, Hong Pan finally memorized the new knowledge. He raised his head, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "Mother, I remember it!"

Li Gege's face showed a long-lost smile. She patted Hong Pan's head gently and said, "Good boy, you did a great job. As long as you keep working hard, you will definitely be able to surpass the eldest prince."

Hong Pan nodded vigorously, with a determined light in his eyes. He knew that with his mother's guidance and encouragement, he would become even better. And Li Gege also understood that her efforts were not in vain, and Hong Pan was moving steadily towards her expectations.

In the study, the sunlight still shines softly, witnessing the heartwarming picture of the mother and son working together.

……

The sunlight shone through the half-closed window lattice, sprinkling on the floor of the study room, bringing a hint of warmth. Aunt Liu walked into the study room quietly, holding a plate of exquisite cakes in her hand. The cakes exuded an enticing aroma. She had prepared it specially for Hong Pan.

"Second Prince, look, this is the new pastry that Nanny made. Would you like to try it and see how it tastes?" Nanny Liu placed the pastry carefully on the table, her face full of anticipation.

Hong Pan raised his head, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the plate of cakes. He swallowed his saliva, his eyes sparkling, and he was obviously greedy. But he did not reach out to take it immediately, but turned to look at Li Gege beside him, with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Mother, can I have a piece?" Hong Pan asked, with a hint of caution in his voice.

Li Gege looked at her son's eager and well-behaved appearance, and a warm current surged in her heart. She smiled and nodded: "Since Mammy made it specially for you, then have a piece."

After getting Li Gege's permission, Hong Pan was so happy that he almost jumped up. He carefully picked up a piece of cake, but did not put it into his own mouth. Instead, he handed it to Li Gege's mouth: "Mother, you eat first."

Li Gege looked at her son's sensible appearance, and her heart was filled with joy. She took the cake with a smile, and was about to taste it, but suddenly she smelled a familiar smell, and her stomach churned, and she couldn't help but frowned.

Seeing this, Madam Liu immediately realized that something was wrong. She carefully observed Li Gege's expression and a bold guess came to her mind. She thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Gege, are you... pregnant?"

Li Gege was shocked when she heard this. She recalled her recent physical reaction and the situations during her first two pregnancies, and gradually came up with an answer in her mind. She raised her head and looked at Aunt Liu, her eyes flashing with excitement: "Aunt, you are right, I should be pregnant."

When Aunt Liu heard the news, a delighted smile immediately appeared on her face: "That's great! Congratulations, Princess, there's going to be another baby boy!"

However, Li Gege was not too excited. She knew that everything in the palace needed to be done with caution. She looked at Madam Liu and said solemnly, "Madam, don't make this public yet. I have my own plans."

Madam Liu nodded to show her understanding. She knew that Li Gege was a person with her own ideas and would definitely make the wisest decision.

In the study, the sun is still bright, and the air is filled with the aroma of cakes and the breath of joy. Li Gege and Liu Mama sit opposite each other, their hearts full of expectations and hopes for the future. Hong Pan eats cakes quietly on the side, and seems to feel the joy and warmth. In this loving family, no matter how many challenges and difficulties there are in the future, they will work together to welcome every beautiful tomorrow.
