Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

The curtain of the banquet is about to begin. The palace is brightly lit and the music is melodious, foreshadowing the grandeur and nobility of this feast.

The ladies, dressed in gorgeous clothes, like the most gorgeous flowers in spring, returned to their designated seats, their faces filled with anticipation and joy.

At this time, Yinzhen also pulled himself away from the laughter of the group of princes and walked steadily towards his and Yi Ya's seats. The two smiled at each other, exchanging tacit understanding and warmth in their eyes, and then sat down side by side, waiting for the banquet to officially begin.

However, in this tranquility and expectation, an unexpected figure broke the surrounding atmosphere - Nanny Gui, who was beside Concubine De, slowly came to Yi Ya's side. Seeing this, Yinzhen and Yi Ya looked at each other, with a hint of doubt and curiosity in their eyes.

"Madame Gui, why are you here?"

Yi Ya was the first to speak, with a tone of confusion and surprise, "Shouldn't you be serving mother at this time? Did mother have any special instructions?"

Nanny Gui smiled slightly, first performed a standard court greeting towards Yinzhen and Yi Ya, and then spoke slowly.

"Fourth Master, Fourth Lady, I am here on the orders of the Empress Defei. The Empress said that she wants to invite the Fourth Lady to the palace tomorrow to discuss some personal matters."

Upon hearing this, Yi Ya couldn't help but feel a little curious and speculative. She quickly asked, "Madam Gui, do you know why my mother summoned me to the palace? Is there something important?"

Nanny Gui shook her head, still keeping a gentle and mysterious smile on her face: "Fourth Lady, how dare I speculate on your Majesty's thoughts. But please rest assured, you will know everything in due time. Now, let us enjoy this feast first."

Seeing this, Yi Ya knew that it was useless to ask any more questions, so she nodded gently, and a faint smile bloomed on her face again: "Okay, Aunt Gui, I understand. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the palace to pay my respects to my mother."

Yinzhen watched all this quietly from the side, his eyes full of concern and trust for Yi Ya.

He whispered to Yi Ya: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. No matter what mother tells you to do, I'll be there with you to face it."

Yi Ya looked at Yinzhen with gratitude, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She gently held Yinzhen's hand, and they smiled at each other, as if at this moment, all the doubts and uneasiness disappeared. They continued to wait for the banquet to begin, but in their hearts, they were already prepared for the upcoming meeting.

After completing her task and whispering Concubine De's message to Yi Ya, Nanny Gui returned to Concubine De's side quietly like a gentle breeze and continued her duties as a personal nanny.

With the departure of Nanny Gui, the atmosphere before the banquet seemed to have a subtle change. Yinzhen's eyes fell gently on Yi Ya. He noticed a flash of confusion and puzzlement in Yi Ya's eyes, so he reached out and gently held her hand.

"Yiya, mother suddenly summoned you to the palace. Are you wondering what's going on?"

Yinzhen's voice was low and magnetic, full of soothing power.

Yi Ya shook her head slightly, her beautiful face full of doubts: "I don't know either. Mother has never summoned me so suddenly. But I believe she has her own intentions."

Seeing this, Yinzhen smiled slightly. He held Yiya's hand tighter, giving her silent encouragement and support: "Don't worry, Yiya. Mother has always been kind, and it must not be a bad thing for her to look for you. If you are worried, I will pick you up at Yonghe Palace after the court tomorrow, and we can go home together, how about it?"

Yi Ya felt a warm current in her heart when she heard Yin Zhen's words. She looked at Yin Zhen gratefully and nodded gently: "Well, thank you, Master. In fact, I was just about to tell you that I can take this opportunity to give the gifts I brought back from the southern tour to Concubine De as a token of my appreciation."

After hearing this, Yinzhen nodded approvingly, his eyes full of tenderness and appreciation: "You are always so thoughtful and considerate, and the Empress Defei will definitely be very happy. Well, let's not think about it anymore, the banquet is about to begin. Let's enjoy the tranquility and beauty of this moment and wait for the arrival of the Emperor."

As Yinzhen finished speaking, the two smiled at each other, then returned to their seats hand in hand.

In the banquet hall, guests have begun to take their seats one after another. Laughter and melodious music are intertwined, creating a warm and solemn atmosphere.

Yinzhen and Yiya found their own peace and happiness in the excitement and joy, and looked forward to the official start of the banquet.
