Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

The moonlight was like water, and the courtyard was quiet and peaceful. Yi Ya sat in front of the window, the teacup in her hand tilted slightly, the fragrance of tea lingering, as if carrying the charm of time. Her eyes looked into the distance, as if she was in deep thought, or as if she was waiting.

Nanny Wang walked into the room gently with steady steps. She bowed to Yi Ya and said respectfully, "Fujin, the two princesses Wu Ya Zhi Xi and Niu Hulu Qing Ran have been settled. They are tired from the long journey and are resting now."

Yi Ya retracted her gaze and nodded slightly, with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes: "That's great, they just arrived at the mansion and need to adapt well. Nanny Wang, your arrangements are very thoughtful."

Nanny Wang smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Madam. This is what I should do."

Yi Ya gently put down the teacup, as if remembering something, and continued: "The last time Wu Gege and others came to the mansion, our family had a meal together, which strengthened our relationship. With the arrival of the two Geges this time, we should not favor one over the other."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Wang nodded and said, "What Fu Jin said is absolutely right. But, I wonder how Fu Jin plans to arrange it?"

Yi Ya thought for a moment and said, "Go and call Nanny Su and ask her to prepare for tonight's family dinner. Tonight's meal must be carefully prepared, so that it is both decent and warm."

Nanny Wang agreed and left. After a while, Nanny Su came to the main courtyard. She was a middle-aged woman who always had a warm smile on her face, but she was resolute in her actions.

Madam Su bowed to Yi Ya and asked, "Madam Fu called me here, but what do you want me to do?"

Yi Ya informed Nanny Su of her intention to prepare a family dinner. Nanny Su smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, Madam Fu-jin. I will personally select the ingredients and cook them carefully, so that tonight's family dinner will become an unforgettable and wonderful memory."

After hearing this, Yi Ya nodded with satisfaction: "I always trust Nanny Su to do things. You can go now. If you need anything, come back and report to me."

Nanny Su agreed and turned to leave. Her steps were brisk and powerful, as if she carried an unstoppable force.

……

The night was as dark as ink, covering the streets and alleys of the capital. On the other side of the Fourth Prince's residence, Wu Gege's boudoir was brightly lit, but the atmosphere seemed a little solemn. Wu Gege sat on the couch, holding a brocade handkerchief in her hand, her brows furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.

"Princess, there is news." Cui'er, the personal maid, walked over lightly and reported in a low voice.

Wu Gege raised his head, a sharp glint in his eyes: "Oh? Tell me about it."

Cui Er approached cautiously and whispered a few words into Wu Gege's ear. After hearing this, Wu Gege's face changed slightly, and she pursed her lips tightly, seeming a little unwilling.

"The newcomer has entered the mansion, but I still haven't heard any news about him." Wu Gege muttered to herself, with a trace of unwillingness in her eyes, "It seems that I have to steal the limelight from this newcomer at the family dinner tonight."

Seeing this, Yunxiang quickly comforted her, "Princess, why worry? You are outstanding in appearance and talent, which is incomparable to those newcomers. As long as you dress up a little, you will shine at the family dinner tonight."

After hearing this, Wu Gege smiled smugly: "You are right. How can I, Wu Gege, lose to those newcomers? Yunxiang, quickly bring me my new clothes. I want to choose carefully."

Yunxiang responded, turned around and walked to the closet, and soon she took out several gorgeous clothes. Wu Gege looked through them one by one, nodding and shaking her head from time to time, as if she was looking for the one that suited her best.

"Let's take this one." Wu Gege finally pointed to a crimson dress embroidered with delicate patterns and said, "This color is bright and solemn, just right for tonight's family dinner."

Yunxiang quickly unfolded the long skirt and carefully put it on Wu Gege. As the skirt swayed, Wu Gege's temperament seemed to become more noble and elegant. She looked at herself carefully in the bronze mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, I will definitely be the focus of tonight's family dinner." Wu Gege said confidently.

Yunxiang agreed with a smile: "The princess is naturally beautiful, and with this dress as a foil, she will definitely outshine all the other beauties."

The night was already dark as the two of them chatted and laughed. The bell for the family banquet was about to ring. Wu Gege straightened her dress and walked towards the banquet hall with Yunxiang. She had already made a plan in her mind to steal the limelight from the newcomers at the family banquet tonight, so that everyone would know that she, Wu Gege, was the most dazzling pearl in this mansion.
