Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

After visiting Princess Song, Yi Ya took Nanny Su back to Changchun Garden.

Accompanied by Madam Su, Yi Ya slowly walked towards her bedroom. Her steps were a little heavy, and she was obviously very tired. As soon as she entered the bedroom, she said, "Madam, I am a little tired and want to rest. If anyone comes later, please help me send them away."

"Yes, I'll remember that." Nanny Su nodded in agreement and carefully closed the door for Yi Ya.

The room suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of the breeze blowing the curtains. Yi Ya took off her heavy palace dress, put on light nightgown, and then lay down on the soft bed.

She closed her eyes, trying to calm her inner restlessness and fatigue. However, Song Gege's pale and weak face and the imperial physician shaking his head and sighing kept appearing in her mind. These images were like stones pressing on her heart, making it impossible for her to truly relax.

Despite this, Yiya still tried to take a deep breath and adjust her breathing rhythm. She told herself that the most important thing now was to rest, recover her strength, and take good care of her body.

Gradually, Yi Ya's breathing became steady and deep. A faint smile appeared on her face, as if she had fallen asleep. In this quiet room, she temporarily forgot the disputes and troubles in the world and immersed herself in a beautiful dream.

The sunlight shone through the window onto Yiya's face, casting a layer of golden glow on her.

In the evening, Yinzhen walked into the courtyard, his face showing a trace of fatigue. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window lattice, casting a long shadow on his calm face. He took off his outer robe, handed it to the eunuch who was serving him, and slowly walked into the inner room.

"Master, you're back. How was your day?" Yi Ya, who had already woken up, saw Yinzhen, who looked exhausted, and asked with concern.

"Okay, how are you today?"

"I went back to the mansion today." Yi Ya looked at Yinzhen's face carefully and spoke slowly.

"Go back home! But what happened in the mansion?" Hearing that Yi Ya had returned home, Yinzhen couldn't help but be a little surprised and hurriedly asked the reason.

"Someone came to the mansion today and said that Song Gege had a miscarriage. I thought it was Master's child, so I immediately took Nanny Su back to the mansion."

"How could the fetus be disturbed? What did the people in the palace do?" Yinzhen had lived in the palace since he was a child, so naturally he knew some of the tricks used in the harem.

"No, I have asked carefully. It was today that after Song Gege admired the flowers in the garden, she accidentally sprained her ankle on her way back to the house. She was frightened and had a miscarriage." Yi Ya explained.

"How is he now? Can the child be saved?"

"I checked. Although she is fine, she is still a little frightened. The palace doctor said that she may need to stay in bed and rest until the birth."

"Okay, that's a shame for you. I'm going to have to take so much trouble." Yinzhen knew how much Yi Ya had sacrificed for him, but he couldn't say anything now, so he could only express his gratitude indifferently.

"You are joking, Master. This is what I should do. Master works hard every day, so you should take good care of yourself."

"You too, you must take good care of yourself and try to give birth to a legitimate son for me as soon as possible."

"Master..."

Seeing that Yi Ya was shy, Yinzhen stopped teasing her.

The matter of Princess Song on Yinzhen's side had just come to an end, and Yi Ya learned another thing from the Third Lady.

Ever since the last time the Third Prince brought back some snacks made by Yi Ya from the food party and the Third Lady ate them, the Third Lady has been looking for an opportunity to ask Yi Ya for advice. As she happened to be free today, she brought her maid to see Yi Ya.

"Is my fourth brother's wife at home?" The third wife, Dong E, asked Yi Ya as she entered the yard.

"Yes, third sister-in-law. How come you have time to come here today?" Yi Ya replied when she heard Dong E's question.

"It's the food party you held last time. Third Prince also brought me some food. I don't know what's going on in your brain to make such delicious food. So today I came to learn from you."

"It's not difficult. If you want to learn, I will teach you everything I know. What do you want to learn?"

"The bubble tea, egg tarts, and pumpkin pie your third brother brought back last time were delicious. Why don't you learn how to make them today?"

"Okay, let me get someone down to prepare first."

Seeing that the serious business was over, Dong E remembered a piece of news she had heard and hurriedly said to Yi Ya: "Do you know that my eldest sister-in-law has given birth?"

"Oh! My sister-in-law gave birth. When did it happen? What did she give birth to?" She had been dealing with Song Gege's affairs these days and had forgotten to pay attention to what was happening outside.

"Another daughter was born. This is the fourth one. I heard that Concubine Hui is very dissatisfied and is preparing to choose a concubine for the eldest prince!" Dong E said quietly.

"Speaking of which, my eldest sister-in-law is quite pitiful. She has been giving birth since she got married. I think these births must have done great harm to her body."

Yi Ya couldn't help but feel a little sympathy when she heard what Sanfujin said. In this era, the status of women is often closely related to whether they can give birth to male heirs. Dafujin gave birth to four daughters in a row. Although daughters are also treasures, in the royal family, not giving birth to princes is always unsatisfactory. Concubine Hui's dissatisfaction is also foreseeable.

The Third Lady continued, "The First Lady's plight is truly heartbreaking. I hope she can have a son in the future, so as to appease Concubine Hui's resentment."

Yi Ya nodded in agreement. She knew that in this palace, everyone's fate was full of variables and everyone was trying to find their own foothold.

The Third Lady turned to Yiya again, with a hint of request in her tone: "Yiya, your snacks are so delicious, why don't we make some next time? Send them to my sister-in-law, I think she might like them."

Yi Ya smiled and agreed: "Of course, Third Sister-in-law. I will try my best to make more delicious snacks. When the time comes, we will send them to the eldest sister-in-law together. I hope to bring some joy to her."

After a while, Nanny Su prepared everything and the two of them moved to the kitchen together.

Yi Ya demonstrated the process while explaining each step and precautions in detail. She also told San Fu Jin that making dim sum not only requires the freshness and proportion of ingredients, but also the control of heat and time.

The third wife listened with great interest and nodded from time to time to show her understanding. Her maid also observed carefully and prepared to write down these valuable experiences. After some efforts, the third wife finally made the first batch of snacks made by herself under the guidance of Yi Ya.

After tasting the dim sum, the third wife was full of praise for Yi Ya's craftsmanship. She said gratefully: "Fourth sister-in-law, your craftsmanship is really great! This dim sum is not only delicious, but also very beautifully shaped."

Yi Ya smiled and responded: "Thank you for the compliment, Third Sister-in-law. This is what I should do. I am also very happy to receive your recognition. If you still have any questions, you can always come to me."

The Third Lady nodded with satisfaction, then left Yi Ya's residence with her maid.

Yi Ya stood at the door, watching them go away, praying silently in her heart, hoping that the first wife could have her son soon, and that she could continue to live a peaceful and tranquil life in this palace. At the same time, she also hoped that the third wife would get better and better.
