Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

As the sun gradually set, Yi Ya and Hong Hui were chatting happily in Dong E's carriage. As time passed, the mother and son left Dong E's carriage and returned to their own spacious and comfortable carriage.

The carriage moved forward slowly amidst the bumps. Honghui leaned against Yiya, suddenly raised his head, blinked his big eyes and asked, "Mother, how far are we from Jinling?"

Yiya smiled, gently stroked Honghui's head, and replied: "There are still a few days of journey. Is Honghui already eager to see the beautiful scenery of Jinling?"

Honghui nodded, with an expectant look on his face, but then he touched his stomach and said a little embarrassedly: "Mother, I... I'm a little hungry."

Yi Ya felt warm at the sight, and quickly turned to Madam Su and said, "Madam Su, please prepare some appetizers. Hong Hui is hungry, and Yin Zhen will be back soon, so we will have dinner here."

Nanny Su responded respectfully and turned to prepare. She thought that the weather was getting hotter and everyone was on the road, so they needed some refreshing and appetizing food to boost their appetite.

Soon, Nanny Su came back with several exquisite dishes, including cold cucumbers, sweet and sour lotus roots, and a bowl of hot chicken noodle soup.

After Nanny Su left, Yi Ya noticed that Hong Hui was sweating from playing, so she told Fu Liu, "Fu Liu, go get some honeysuckle water. I'll wipe Hong Hui's sweat off."

Fu Liu responded and soon brought a basin of honeysuckle water. Yi Ya carefully dipped a soft cloth in the honeysuckle water and wiped Hong Hui's forehead and neck.

As she wiped the area, she said, "Honghui, you've been traveling all this time, and your skin is so delicate. If you don't take good care of it, it could easily cause a rash."

Honghui nodded obediently and let Yiya wipe him. Yiya's movements were gentle and skillful, and every detail revealed the care and concern of a mother's love.

After wiping the sweat off his face, Honghui felt a cool breeze. He looked up at Yiya, his eyes full of gratitude and dependence. The mother and son smiled at each other, as if all their fatigue had dissipated at this moment.

……

The night gently enveloped the camp, and the stars dotted the night sky, as if they were also waiting for a warm moment. Yinzhen walked out of the imperial sedan chair, wearing a blue shirt, looking more and more calm in the night. Although his steps were steady, it was not difficult to see his eagerness to return home.

"Master, you're back." Yi Ya's voice was accompanied by a gentle smile. She had been waiting on the side. When she saw Yinzhen returning, she immediately went forward to greet him.

She took the coat that Yinzhen took off, carefully boiled hot water for him, and prepared toiletries.

Yinzhen washed up briefly under Yi Ya's care, washing away the dust and fatigue on his body. He walked into the tent and found that the family was already sitting around the dining table, waiting for his return. The table was filled with exquisite dishes, exuding an enticing aroma.

"Father!" When Honghui saw Yinzhen coming in, he immediately jumped up from his seat and ran over.

He threw himself into Yinzhen's arms, hugged Yinzhen's legs tightly, looked up at Yinzhen, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Yinzhen looked at Honghui's lovely face and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He squatted down, touched Honghui's head, and said with a smile: "Hui'er, Ama is indeed a little busy recently and doesn't have much time to accompany you. But when Ama is free, I will take you for a ride on horseback, how about it?"

When Honghui heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. He jumped up excitedly, hugged Yinzhen's arm, shook it and said, "Really? Father, I'm so looking forward to it! I've always wanted to ride a horse!"

Upon seeing this, Yi Ya hurried over, patted Hong Hui on the back, and said gently: "Hui'er, let go of your father and let him eat well." When Hong Hui heard Yi Ya's words, although he was a little reluctant, he still obediently let go of Yinzhen's hand and sat back in his seat.

Yinzhen couldn't help laughing when he saw Honghui's well-behaved appearance. He said to Yiya, "Fujin, you don't have to be so polite when you are outside. It's also good to let the child get closer to me."

Yi Ya nodded and smiled slightly. She understood Yinzhen's thoughts and was happy to see the father and son so close.

The family sat around the table, enjoying this rare reunion time. Yinzhen picked up food for Honghui from time to time and asked about his studies and life. Honghui also enthusiastically shared what he saw and heard, causing everyone to laugh.

Deep in his heart, Yinzhen cherished this close time with his family. He knew that as a prince, his time was mostly occupied by government affairs, and he had few opportunities to spend time with his family. But every time he returned home and saw the smiling faces of Yiya and Honghui, he felt that all the hard work was worth it.

Honghui also felt Yinzhen's love and care for him. He knew that although his father was busy, he never forgot his promise to him. He looked forward to the day when he could ride horses with his father and enjoy the happy time that belonged to them.
