Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

The next morning, just after dawn, Yinzhen and the third prince had already gone to the imperial court to serve, ready to accompany Emperor Kangxi to inspect Nanjing. They set out early, leaving only the family members in the harem to prepare for the day's itinerary.

Yi Ya woke up to the sound of birds singing, she rubbed her eyes and sat up. She turned her head to look out the window, the sunlight came in through the gauze-like curtains, dyeing the room golden.

She called the maid Fuliu and asked, "Fuliu, is Honghui up yet?"

Fu Liu shook her head slightly and replied, "My dear, the young prince hasn't woken up yet. He moved into a new house yesterday and was so happy that he played until very late before going to bed."

Yi Ya smiled slightly, and understood. She stood up and walked to the bronze mirror, and began to wash and dress. After washing, she asked Su Ma to prepare breakfast, and she walked lightly to Honghui's bedroom.

Pushing open the door, Yi Ya saw Hong Hui sleeping soundly, his small body wrapped in the quilt, like a cute cat. She walked gently to the bed, sat down, reached out and gently stroked Hong Hui's face, and called softly: "Hong Hui, it's time to get up."

Honghui heard his mother's voice in his sleep. He opened his eyes dazedly and saw Yiya sitting beside the bed. He rubbed his eyes and called softly, "Mother..."

Yi Ya smiled and nodded, saying, "Little lazy bug, hurry up and get up. Didn't you say you were going out to play today? If you don't get up, I won't wait for you."

When Honghui heard this, he immediately became alert. He suddenly got up from the bed and hurriedly dressed and washed up. Fu Liu, who was beside him, was busy helping him to put his clothes together, and kept urging him: "Little brother, hurry up, Fu Jin is waiting for you outside."

Soon, Honghui came out dressed neatly. He ran to Yiya, looked up at his mother, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. Yiya smiled, took his hand, and said, "Okay, let's go have breakfast."

The mother and son came to the dining table together and enjoyed a hearty breakfast. After the meal, Yi Ya took Hong Hui to the place where she would meet the third wife and others.

Along the way, Honghui excitedly asked about all kinds of things in Jinling, and Yiya patiently answered his son's questions with a happy smile on her face.

Soon, they arrived at the meeting point.

……

The spring breeze was blowing, the sun was rising, and the carriage stopped steadily in front of the mansion. Honghui couldn't wait to get off the carriage, and saw a familiar figure standing next to Dong E from a distance - Hongchun. He hurried over with a warm smile on his face.

"Brother Hongchun, long time no see! The sun is shining today, it's a great day for a trip." Honghui patted Hongchun's shoulder, and they smiled at each other.

"Yes, brother Honghui, I have been waiting for this day for a long time!" Hongchun blinked, with a naughty smile on his face, "Look, I prepared this new outfit specially for today's outing."

Honghui smiled and nodded, and the two began to talk and laugh, playing around, as if they had returned to their carefree childhood days.

At this time, Yi Ya also walked to Dong E's side and greeted softly: "Third sister-in-law, the weather is really good today. We will definitely have a pleasant journey."

Dong E smiled and responded, "Yes, Fourth Sister-in-law, it's rare for us to have such a leisurely time. Fifth Sister-in-law will be here soon, and we can set off when she arrives."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling came from afar. After a while, the figure of the Fifth Lady appeared in everyone's sight.

After she got off the horse, she waved to everyone apologetically and said, "I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Something delayed me on the way."

Seeing this, Honghui and Hongchun hurried forward and said, "Fifth aunt, I'm glad you're here. We just arrived not long ago and were waiting for you to set off together."

Dong E also stepped forward and said gently, "Fifth brother's wife, don't mind. We are here to have fun, so there is no need to be bound by time."

After hearing this, the Fifth Lady's regret disappeared. She smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your understanding, sisters-in-law. Let's set off now and don't let this good weather go to waste."

Everyone nodded and boarded the carriage together. As the carriage slowly started, the wheels made a rhythmic sound on the bluestone road, like the prelude of spring.

Inside the carriage, Honghui and Hongchun continued to play around, Yiya and Dong E were talking quietly, and the Fifth Lady was quietly admiring the scenery outside the window. The carriage, carrying their laughter and joy, drove towards the busiest street market in Jinling.
