Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

De Fei sat in front of the carved window, stroking the delicate teacup in her hand, with a trace of gentle worry in her eyes. She thought to herself that her youngest son was getting older and had reached the age to get married. As a mother, she naturally had to worry about his lifelong affairs.

But then she thought again, the reason why she summoned Yi Ya today was not just for this matter, so she shook her head gently, brought her thoughts back to reality, and mentioned another important matter.

"The fourth one's."

De Fei's voice was gentle and loving. "At the banquet last night, Yin Zhen was granted the title of Prince by His Majesty. This is a great joyous event for our palace. According to the rules, the prince should be accompanied by a concubine to show the royal style. After much thought, I think this matter needs to be supervised by you, a virtuous wife. Do you have a suitable candidate in the backyard of your palace?"

When Yi Ya heard this, she was already prepared in her heart. She bowed slightly and answered respectfully.

"Mother, what you said is very true. I talked about this with the prince a few days ago. Currently, Li Gege is the most eye-catching in the backyard. Although she was born in an ordinary family, she gave birth to two sons and a daughter for the palace, and her contribution is outstanding. Both I and the prince think that she should be given the title of concubine to encourage her."

De Fei nodded slightly to show her agreement, and then asked, "Besides Li Gege, are there any other candidates?"

Yi Ya smiled slightly and continued, "Of course there is also Niu Hulu. She comes from a famous family, has dignified manners, and outstanding talents. She is also a suitable candidate for the concubine."

After hearing this, Concubine De looked between the two names and pondered in her heart. After a moment, she looked at Yi Ya again and asked.

"Which one does Yinzhen prefer?"

Yi Ya lowered her eyes slightly, with a barely perceptible tenderness in her tone: "The prince is more inclined to Li Gege. After all, Li Gege has been in the palace for many years, and has gone through thick and thin with the prince. They have a deep relationship, and she has given birth to children. The prince treats her differently."

After hearing this, Concubine De had already made up her mind. She sighed softly and said with emotion: "You are right. Li Gege is indeed an old lady in the palace. We have all seen her efforts and sacrifices. Since Yinzhen has this intention, then let him do it. However, the canonization still needs to be carefully prepared, and it must be done in accordance with the rules and without losing dignity."

Yi Ya nodded in agreement, secretly grateful for Concubine De's understanding and support. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law smiled at each other and continued to drink tea and chat. The topic gradually shifted from the trivial matters of the palace to a more relaxed and pleasant field.

Outside the window, the spring breeze blows and the fragrance of flowers fills the air, as if the air is filled with the scent of happiness and harmony.

De Fei gently stroked the teacup in her hand, her eyes casually swept across Yi Ya, and asked casually, "Old Fourth Family, you and I have talked so much that I almost forgot to ask, are those people in your backyard behaving well recently?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Ya had a gentle smile on her face. She nodded slightly and replied softly, "To answer Mother's question, everyone in the backyard is fine. Everyone is doing their job and there is nothing wrong."

Concubine De nodded slightly, but her eyes seemed to be full of unsatisfied thoughts. She changed the subject and asked directly, "Then why did I hear recently that Wu Ya in the backyard has not appeared for a long time, and it seems that she has been confined?"

Yi Ya's face changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure, knelt down in front of Concubine De, and explained sincerely: "Mother, it is true that Uya was temporarily confined by Yinzhen because of some faults. I wanted to report to you after the matter was properly handled, but I didn't expect you to know it in advance."

"Old Fourth, please tell me in detail what exactly happened?"
