Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

Chapter 260 Prepare for surprise

In the capital, spring is in full swing. In Yinzhen's study, a secret letter from afar lies quietly on the desk, which clearly states that "Emperor Kangxi will soon return to Beijing." He gently unfolds the letter, and after reading it, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rise, and a complex emotion surges in his heart.

Yinzhen returned early for some reason. After returning to Beijing, he was either buried in the government affairs in the front yard or occasionally walked into the back yard. Although he had a pleasant conversation with Li Gege's talent or enjoyed the spring flowers and autumn moon with Song Gege, he always thought of the figure far away in Hangzhou - Yiya.

"Yiya is about to come back. What should I do for her?" Yinzhen thought to himself and finally decided to give her an unexpected surprise.

So, he chose a sunny afternoon and went to the main courtyard with his personal eunuch Su Peisheng.

In the main courtyard, everything remained the same, except that without the presence of the owner, it seemed particularly peaceful.

Nanny Wang was meticulously sweeping the yard. When she saw Yinzhen suddenly appear, she was surprised and quickly put down the broom in her hand, walked forward quickly, and bowed deeply: "This servant greets Lord Beile, and I wish Lord Beile good luck!"

Yinzhen smiled slightly and said gently, "Wang Ma, get up. You have worked hard. During the days when Yi Ya was away, it was all up to you to keep the main courtyard in order."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Wang waved her hands and replied respectfully, "My Lord, you are too kind. This is my duty, so how can I deserve the word 'hard work'? But, my Lord, why did you have time to come to the main courtyard today? The wife hasn't returned yet."

Yinzhen's eyes flashed with cunning, and he chuckled and said, "I came here specially because I knew Yi Ya hadn't returned. I wanted to give her a surprise. Madam, please don't reveal my whereabouts."

Nanny Wang suddenly understood what was going on when she heard this. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes. She nodded quickly and said, "I understand. I will keep my mouth shut. Lord Beile, please feel free to do as you please. If you need anything, just tell me."

Yinzhen nodded gently, and then, under the guidance of Nanny Wang, he slowly walked into the main house. Everything in the house was kept spotless by Nanny Wang, as if waiting for the master's return at any time.

Yinzhen looked around and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He knew that every detail here contained Yi Ya's attachment to and expectation for home.

So Yinzhen began to decorate it himself. He picked a bunch of Yiya's favorite spring flowers and put them in a porcelain vase on the desk. He also wrote a heartfelt letter and placed it on Yiya's dressing table, looking forward to the moment when she returned and felt his sincere love.

Nanny Wang stood quietly by the side, watching Yinzhen busying around, secretly happy for the couple. She knew that today's main courtyard would usher in a warm and romantic reunion.

On a gentle spring afternoon, Yinzhen walked briskly through every corner of the main courtyard, as if he was silently preparing for the upcoming reunion.

He stood in the yard, surrounded by the spring scenery, but his heart was already filled with Yi Ya who was about to return.

Turning to look at Nanny Wang beside him, Yinzhen's voice was filled with tenderness and expectation: "Nanny, I have good news to tell you. Yi Ya will be returning to the capital with the Emperor soon."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Wang's face instantly lit up with a warm smile, and she responded repeatedly, "Oh, that's great! Lord Beile, don't worry, I will definitely keep the main courtyard in good order, so that Fu Jin can feel the warmth of home as soon as she returns."

Yinzhen knew very well how much Nanny Wang loved Yiya, and he was very pleased with the understanding and tacit understanding that did not require much words. He did not say any more words of gratitude, but cast his eyes on the green plants in the courtyard that were slightly out of tune with the surrounding scenery.

These trees were planted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs before Yi Ya entered the palace. Although they are valuable, they are not her favorites.

Yinzhen sighed softly, and then instructed Su Peisheng who was standing beside him: "Peisheng, go and arrange some people to move these trees and replace them with the golden osmanthus and crabapple trees that Yi Ya prefers. Remember, pick the best varieties and make sure to complete it before she comes back."

Su Peisheng immediately understood Yinzhen's intention when he heard this. He bowed and said, "Yes, sir. I will do it right away. I guarantee that when Fu Jin returns, she will see the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard."

Yinzhen nodded with satisfaction, his eyes sparkling with longing and expectation for the future. He reminded again: "Be careful when transplanting. These flowers and trees, like Yi Ya, need our careful care. You must find reliable hands to ensure that they can thrive until Yi Ya returns."

Su Peisheng listened to Yinzhen's repeated exhortations, and a warm current surged in his heart. Although he didn't know what kind of surprise Yinzhen was going to give Yi Ya, he was deeply moved by his deep affection for the princess.

So, he secretly swore in his heart that he must help his master express this kindness perfectly.

"Don't worry, sir. I will do my best and will not let you and the princess down." After Su Peisheng said this, he hurried away and began to prepare for the transplanting.

Yinzhen stood there, looking at the courtyard that was about to be renovated, his heart filled with longing and anticipation for Yi Ya's return.

He knew that when Yi Ya stepped into this sea of ​​flowers and saw the beautiful scenery of the trees intertwined with golden, pink and white, all the waiting and longing would turn into endless happiness and sweetness.
