Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

The next morning, before the first rays of morning light completely dispelled the loneliness of the night, Yinzhen quietly walked out of Li Gege's courtyard. Although his footsteps were light, they still left a series of subtle echoes in the quiet of the morning. Li Gege leaned against the window, watching his figure disappear around the corner, and an inexplicable complex emotion surged in her heart.

When Yinzhen was no longer visible, Li Gege turned around and said to Madam Liu who was standing by her side, "Madam, please prepare some things and send them to Wu Ya Zhixi and Niu Hulu Qingran."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu showed some confusion on her face: "Princess, what do you mean? I'm afraid the two of them have already harbored a grudge about what happened last night."

Li Gege sighed softly, stroked her slightly bulging belly, and said, "I know. But I am pregnant with the prince's child now, so I have to be careful in everything. Giving them some things is also a gesture of good will. I hope they will not cause any more trouble during my pregnancy."

Although Madam Liu was unhappy after hearing this, she could only nod and agree: "Gege is right, I will prepare it right away."

Soon, Madam Liu came back with two exquisite gift boxes. Li Gege took the gift boxes, checked them carefully, and only after confirming that they were correct did she ask Madam Liu to send them off.

However, what Li Gege didn't know was that her behavior last night had deeply offended Wu Ya Zhixi and Niu Hulu Qingran. No matter how she tried to show her kindness, she couldn't eliminate the resentment in their hearts.

On the other side of the palace, Wu Yazhixi sat alone in her boudoir, the sunlight shining through the half-open window onto her dress. Her heart was full of doubts and uneasiness, and the events of last night were still lingering in her mind.

Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the silence, and the maid Xiao Cui walked in carefully holding a gift box and said softly: "Uya Gege, this is a gift sent by Li Gege."

When Wu Yazhixi heard that it was something sent by Li Gege, her brows knitted tightly, and an inexplicable anger surged in her heart. She snatched the gift box and opened it roughly, and the jewels and silk inside instantly came into her sight. However, these seemed like a glaring mockery to her.

"What does she mean? Does she want to use these things to humiliate me?" Wu Yazhixi complained angrily. She slammed the gift box heavily on the table, and the jewelry and silk scattered all over the floor.

Seeing this, the nanny at the side hurried forward to comfort her: "Gege, calm down. Li Gege sent these things, perhaps just to show her goodwill. You are a newcomer, it is not appropriate to make enemies with others, so you should accept these things."

Wu Yazhixi refused to give up. She continued to complain, "Showing her kindness? I think she wants to laugh at me! I won't be fooled by such a hypocritical person!"

Mammy knew Wu Yazhixi's temper very well, but she didn't want her to offend anyone because of a momentary impulse. She patiently advised: "Princess, please listen to my advice. Princess Li is the prince's favorite concubine, and we can't afford to offend her. Even if you don't consider her face, you should consider the prince's face and accept the gift."

Although Wu Yazhixi was dissatisfied, she knew that the nanny was telling the truth. She took a deep breath and tried to calm her anger. She looked at the nanny's wrinkled but wise face, and a warm current surged in her heart. The nanny was carefully selected by her family and had always taken good care of her. She believed that what the nanny said was for her own good.

So, Wu Yazhixi forced a smile and said to the nanny: "Mammy is right, I should learn to be patient. I accepted these things, but it does not mean that I accept her kindness."

Seeing this, the nanny was relieved. She knew that Wu Yazhixi was a smart and sensible child, but sometimes she was too stubborn. She believed that as time went by, Wu Yazhixi would slowly learn to gain a foothold in this complicated palace.

The two picked up the scattered jewelry and silk and put them back into the gift box. Although Wu Yazhixi still had some grudges in her heart, she was no longer as angry as before. She decided to put aside her dissatisfaction for the time being and shift her attention to other things.

The nanny prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Wu Yazhixi could spend every day safely and smoothly in this unfamiliar environment.
