Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

On the other side, in a quiet corner of the mansion, the courtyard of Li Gege was filled with the faint aroma of porridge and laughter. Li Gege, dressed in simple and elegant clothes, was gently accompanying several children to enjoy a sumptuous breakfast.

The table was filled with a variety of snacks and hot porridge. The children's hands were busy and their faces were filled with happy smiles.

Just at this moment, there was a sound of brisk footsteps outside the door, accompanied by a maid's soft announcement.

"Princess, Nanny Wang from the main courtyard wants to see you."

Hearing this, Li Gege couldn't help but smile, thinking that there must be something important. She gently put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, and said softly to the children, "You eat first, mother will go to greet Wang Ma." After that, she stood up and signaled the maid to invite Wang Ma in.

Nanny Wang walked into the room with steady and solemn steps. She first performed a standard court ceremony to Li Gege, and then slowly spoke: "Gege, good luck. I am Nanny Wang from the main courtyard, and I have come to convey the wife's wishes."

Li Gege quickly stood up and returned the greeting, and asked softly, "Please tell me, Nanny Wang, is there anything important?"

Nanny Wang nodded, her voice gentle and clear: "There is a banquet in the palace tonight. The concubine has specifically instructed that although the people in the backyard do not have to attend, the older children should still be brought to see the party. Therefore, please make some preparations for the children."

After hearing this, Li Gege's eyes flashed with surprise, and she quickly nodded and said, "Thank you, Nanny Wang, for the message. I will definitely prepare well for the children."

After saying that, she turned to her personal maid Zitan and instructed, "Zitan, see Nanny Wang off. Remember to prepare some gifts in return."

Zitan responded and respectfully led Nanny Wang out of the room. The door closed gently, and the warm atmosphere in the room returned again.

When Hong Pan heard the news that he could go to the palace for a banquet tonight, his eyes immediately sparkled with excitement and his little face was full of anticipation.

The eldest princess seemed more calm, but the barely perceptible smile at the corner of her mouth revealed her joy.

She thought to herself that as she was getting older and would soon reach the age of marriage, attending more banquets like this would really help her broaden her horizons and pave the way for her future.

Li Gege looked at her children's happy faces, and her heart was filled with warmth and satisfaction. She gently patted Zitan's shoulder and whispered, "Zitan, go and help Hongpan and Da Gege prepare some decent clothes and jewelry, as well as items that may be used at the dinner. Remember to pick the best ones so that they can look radiant tonight."

Zitan responded immediately, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She knew that tonight's banquet was of great significance to the two young masters, and she must do her best to prepare for them.

So she hurriedly left and started to get busy. In the house, the innocent laughter of the children continued to echo, adding a bit of warmth and beauty to this morning.

……

Li Gege sat by the carved window, surrounded by two playful children. Their laughter was like the sound of nature, which made Li Gege's face show a gentle smile. However, this warmth was mixed with a subtle worry.

"Children, do you know the pain in your mother's heart?"

Li Gege whispered to herself, her eyes passing through the children's figures and falling into the distance. Just now, Nanny Wang came to deliver a message, and her words were all about the arrangements for other affairs in the mansion, but she didn't mention her name, which made her feel a little disappointed.

"Master, why do you always ignore me?"

Li Gege sighed inwardly, but she quickly calmed down. She knew that as Yinzhen's favorite concubine, although she was favored, her status limited it to make it a luxury for her to enter the palace.

Now, her only hope is to use the newly born little prince to let Yinzhen see her efforts and sacrifices, so that he will grant her the position of concubine.

"Concubine... that's a position many people dream of."

Li Gege muttered in her heart, with desire and determination in her eyes. She knew that this position not only represented an improvement in status, but also a recognition of her efforts over the years. Therefore, she would never allow anyone to block her path to becoming a concubine.

Just as Li Gege was immersed in her thoughts, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind - the news that Niuhulu was pregnant. That was the news that Wu Gege accidentally revealed to her when she visited last time.

Recalling that moment, there seemed to be a deep meaning in Wu Gege's eyes. Li Gege couldn't help but speculate secretly: "Is she testing me? Or does she want to borrow my hand..."

"Wu Gege, Wu Gege, you are indeed very scheming."

Li Gege sighed softly, feeling mixed emotions. She had not originally intended to get involved in those intrigues, but reality forced her to make a choice.

If Nianhulu really gave birth to a prince, her position in Yinzhen's heart would undoubtedly be more stable, and her hope of becoming a concubine would be even slimmer.

"Forget it. For the sake of my children and myself, I can't just sit there and wait for death any longer."

Li Gege made up her mind, and her eyes were shining with determination. She knew that once she set foot on this road, she could not turn back, but she was ready. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, she would overcome them one by one, just to reach the position she dreamed of - concubine.
