Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

In the city of Hangzhou, spring is in full swing, willow catkins are dancing lightly, and it seems that even the air is filled with a mixture of a faint sadness of impending departure and the warmth of returning home.

Emperor Kangxi's southern tour, from being silent at the beginning to being widely known today, is all because he solved several difficult cases in Jinling, Hangzhou and other places along the way, winning the hearts of the people.

Now, when the imperial carriage slowly set out on the road back to Beijing, the people along the way spontaneously saw him off, with gongs and drums beating and colorful flags flying, creating a spectacular scene.

In a carriage with simple yet gorgeous decorations, Yi Ya and her son Honghui sat side by side.

This was the first day back in Beijing, and Yi Ya had specially arranged to travel with Honghui, hoping to take this opportunity to enhance the emotional exchange between mother and son, and also to let Honghui personally feel the enthusiasm and admiration from the people.

Outside the car window, there was a lot of noise. Honghui's little face was pressed against the car window, with curiosity and joy shining in his eyes.

He looked at the people on both sides of the road waving handkerchiefs and shouting "Long live!", and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, revealing an innocent smile.

Seeing this, Yi Ya gently patted Hong Hui's shoulder and asked softly, "Hui Er, what are you laughing at? Is there anything interesting outside?"

Honghui turned to look at Yiya, his clear eyes full of curiosity and yearning for the world. He said excitedly: "Mother, look at those people, they are all seeing us off! I think Huang Mafa must be very, very loved by the people, because they all look so happy, as if Huang Mafa is the hero in their hearts!"

Yi Ya heard this, a gentle light flashed in her eyes, she nodded, and said softly: "Hui Er is right, your Emperor Ma Fa is indeed a wise ruler who is deeply loved by the people. He is diligent in his work and loves the people. He has done many good things for the people, so in the hearts of the people, his status is extremely high."

After hearing this, Honghui's eyes flashed with determination and yearning. He said seriously: "Then I want to be like Huang Mafa, study hard, and become a person who can do things for the people when I grow up, so that they can live a happy life."

When Yi Ya heard this, a warm current surged in her heart. She reached out and gently stroked Hong Hui's head, her eyes full of encouragement and trust: "Hui'er, I am really pleased that you have such an ambition. Remember, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as you care about the people and work hard, you will be able to realize your ideal. Mother believes in you and you will be able to do it."

As the carriage slowly moved forward, the conversation between mother and son gradually blended into the laughter and joy around them.

Yiya knows that the warmth and encouragement at this moment will become a precious driving force in Honghui's life journey, inspiring him to keep moving forward and become a responsible and caring person.

In the spring morning light, the royal convoy slowly moved along the ancient stone road, and each carriage carried its own story and secrets. Among them, the atmosphere in another accompanying carriage was slightly unusual.

Niu Hulu Qingran, this gentle and dignified woman, was now leaning on a soft pillow in the carriage, her face pale, her eyes slightly closed, and a trace of fatigue and discomfort between her brows that was difficult to conceal.

Every breath she took seemed so heavy, as if even the dust in the air could burden her.

The maid Cuiyun stood by, her anxious eyes constantly on Qingran. Ever since her master got on the carriage, her gradually revealed weak state made her extremely anxious.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Do you want me to ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?" Cuiyun's voice was a little tearful, and it was obvious that she was extremely anxious.

However, before she finished her words, Qing Ran slowly opened her eyes, revealing an unquestionable determination in her eyes. "Cui Yun, don't panic. You can't make a sound now."

Qing Ran said softly, with a hint of helplessness and consideration in her tone, "The carriage has just started. If the imperial physician is alerted at this time, my condition will definitely attract attention. And what I least want people to know... is the child in my belly who has not yet seen the world."

Cuiyun was anxious when she heard this, but she immediately understood her master's intention. She quickly stopped and turned to look at Qingran, with a questioning light in her eyes. "Then what are you going to do, master?"

Qing Ran smiled slightly, with a hint of tenderness and strength in her smile. "Go get some of the sour plums I prepared before I left. Maybe they can help ease the discomfort you're feeling these days."

Cuiyun immediately responded and returned to Qingran with a plate of crystal clear plums. She carefully picked up one and handed it to Qingran.

Qing Ran took a light bite, and the sweet and sour taste instantly spread in her mouth, as if a fresh force surged through her body, and the originally uncomfortable feeling of nausea was actually alleviated a lot.

"It really works." Qing Ran said softly, with a hint of relief in her eyes. She looked at Cui Yun and found that the other person's eyes were also full of joy and relief. "Cui Yun, thanks to you."

Cuiyun waved her hands quickly, tears flashing in her eyes. "As long as you are kind, my master, I am not afraid of anything."

The carriage continued to move forward, and the atmosphere inside the carriage gradually became warm and peaceful. Qing Ran leaned on the soft pillow, closed her eyes and rested, occasionally a gentle smile would appear on the corner of her mouth.

Cuiyun waited quietly by the side, her heart filled with longing and hope for the future - she hoped that everything would go well for the soon-to-be mother, and that the little life she had yet to meet would be able to come into this world healthy and safe.
