Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

Chapter 172 Before the Southern Tour

It was March again, the spring was in full bloom, and the flowers were in full bloom. Yiya stood quietly in front of the window, her eyes gently following Honghui playing in the yard. The child's smile was so bright, like the brightest sunshine in this spring, shining into Yiya's heart, making her feel unprecedented satisfaction and comfort.

Since her rebirth, she has been carefully arranging everything, just to protect this hard-earned happiness. She witnessed Honghui's departure in the previous life, and the pain of losing a loved one still scares her. Therefore, she takes extra care of Honghui, fearing that any negligence will lead to unpredictable consequences.

However, happy times are always accompanied by some hidden worries. Yi Ya could not let go of the stone in her heart. She was afraid that she could not change her fate and was afraid of losing the child she loved so much again. Every time she saw Honghui's lively and lovely appearance, she felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.

At the same time, Li Gege's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and the day of delivery was approaching. She was full of anticipation and nervousness, and prayed every day that she could give birth to a healthy little prince. She knew very well that in this era, a mother's status was determined by her son, and only by giving birth to a healthy son could she have the opportunity to fight for a higher status.

On this day, the sky was blue and the sun was shining. Yinzhen returned from court with an unusually solemn look on his face. He stepped into the inner room and saw Yi Ya teaching Honghui to read and write. The warm scene eased his mood a little.

"Master, you're back." Yi Ya raised her head and showed a gentle smile. Her voice was soft and pleasant.

Yinzhen nodded, walked over to the two of them and sat down, taking a deep breath, as if he was a little embarrassed to speak. Yi Ya noticed his abnormality and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Is there something in the court that is bothering you again?" she asked softly, her tone full of concern.

Yinzhen hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "The Emperor has decided to start a southern tour in a month, and the princes must accompany him."

After hearing this, Yi Ya's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't believe her ears. Southern Tour? That was a grand event where the emperor personally inspected the south of the Yangtze River. You can imagine how big the event was. She hurriedly asked, "Who will go?"

Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "Except for the crown prince who will stay in the capital, the rest of the princes will go together."

Yi Ya suddenly felt uneasy. The southern tour meant that the palace would be in turmoil and busyness for a long time, and she was also worried about Honghui's safety. She tentatively asked Yinzhen: "Who should the palace choose to follow the southern tour?"

Yinzhen pondered for a moment and said, "This matter requires careful consideration. Make a list of servants, doctors, and guards that you think you can trust. I will review it and make a decision."

Yi Ya nodded, and her worries were slightly relieved. She knew that Yinzhen was a man of his own ideas, and since he had been asked to make a decision, he would definitely consider it seriously.

She ordered Baizhi to prepare the meal and then serve Yinzhen.

Although the two did not mention the southern tour at the dinner table, Yi Ya's worries were hard to calm down. She looked up at Yinzhen from time to time, trying to read something from his expression, but Yinzhen always kept a calm expression, as if he did not take the matter too seriously.
