Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

The golden sunlight was like tiny streams of light, sprinkling on the curtains of the slowly moving carriage. The mottled light and shadows danced in the carriage, swaying gently with the breeze.

Dong E sat in the carriage and gently lifted a corner of the curtain. A breeze mixed with a faint floral scent blew into the carriage, sweeping away the dullness and bringing a hint of coolness.

Yi Ya, who was sitting opposite Dong E, was brewing tea in her hands. The aroma of tea filled the carriage with the rising steam. The two sat opposite each other, enjoying this rare leisure time.

Dong E took a sip of tea, looking contented, and said slowly, "Most of the sisters in the palace came for this southern tour, except for the pregnant Eighth Lady, who couldn't go with them. What a pity."

Upon hearing this, Yi Ya took over the conversation with anticipation in her eyes: "Yes, but it's also great to be able to get out and take some fresh air. I think the sisters who came with us are easy to get along with. When we arrive at our destination, we might as well find a chance to get together."

After hearing this, Dong E's eyes flashed with approval: "Fourth brother's wife is absolutely right. When we were in the palace, everyone was busy and it was rare for us to get together. This southern tour is indeed a good opportunity."

The two smiled at each other, as if they had foreseen the happy times in the future.

Dong E put down her teacup, her eyes revealing a trace of yearning. She whispered, "The first stop of this southern tour is Jinling. It's really a great place. I've read about the prosperity of Jinling, the lights on the Qinhuai River, the bustle of Confucius Temple, and the countless delicacies. They are all fascinating."

Yi Ya listened attentively, as if she had already been in the prosperous place. She sighed softly, "I have heard about the beautiful scenery and delicious food in Jinling for a long time. But there are many rules in the palace, so I have never been able to go there. This time on the southern tour, I must take a good look around and taste those legendary delicacies."

Dong E smiled and nodded: "That's right. When we get to Jinling, we must enjoy ourselves. When the time comes, I will take you to taste the authentic Jinling delicacies, which I guarantee will satisfy your appetite."

As the two chatted and laughed, the carriage slowly drove along the official road to Jinling. The carriage was filled with laughter, as if they had already felt the prosperity and bustle of Jinling in advance.

However, when they were chatting excitedly, they suddenly found that the carriage was silent. Turning around, they saw that the two little guys, Honghui and Hongchun, had put down their toys and sat aside to listen to their conversation quietly. Hongchun opened his eyes wide and asked Dong E curiously: "Mother, is Jinling really as good as you said?"

Dong E smiled and nodded, and said gently: "Of course, Jinling is a very beautiful place with many beautiful scenery and delicious food."

When Hongchun heard this, he jumped up excitedly, took Honghui's hand and said, "Honghui, let's go to Jinling too! I want to see the Qinhuai River and eat snacks in Confucius Temple!"

Honghui was also infected by Hongchun's enthusiasm and cheered: "Yes! We want to go to Jinling too!" The two children danced with excitement, obviously looking forward to the trip to Jinling.

Seeing this, Yi Ya smiled and said to the two children, "Since you want to go to Jinling so much, you must be obedient. As long as you behave well, I will take you to Jinling."

Honghui and Hongchun immediately quieted down and promised seriously: "We will be obedient! We will!"

The carriage was once again filled with laughter, and the family's laughter seemed to have infected the carriage and the road, making the entire southern tour full of anticipation and joy.
