Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

In the deep courtyard of the palace, the autumn sunlight has gradually become soft, covering this ancient mansion with a faint golden glow.

Yi Ya was dressed in elegant clothes and followed Yinzhen with light steps. There was an unspoken tacit understanding and harmony between the two.

"Su Peisheng just came back to report that the man has been safely delivered to the manor."

Yinzhen's voice was low and steady, like an old tree in the autumn wind, giving people a sense of security. After hearing this, Yi Ya's tension and anxiety were finally relieved. She exhaled gently and looked at Yinzhen with gratitude.

"My Lord, now that you have been promoted to a prince, everyone in the palace is looking forward to taking this opportunity to celebrate."

Yi Ya's voice was as gentle as water, with a hint of anticipation and joy. She knew very well that since returning from the southern tour, the family had been busy with Li Gege's birth, and there had indeed been no real time for them to get together.

Yinzhen stopped and looked at Yiya with gentle eyes, as if he was recalling every detail of this period of time.

After a moment, he smiled and said, "You are right. The mansion really needs some festive atmosphere during this period. In this case, let's do as you say and celebrate as a family."

Upon hearing this, Yi Ya's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she thought of something and suggested, "Your Highness, although tomorrow is your day off, the moon is bright tonight, so why not hold a family dinner tonight? Let everyone feel the joy in advance."

Yinzhen looked up at the sky and saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky, casting a thousand rays of silver light. He nodded and said in agreement: "Good idea, let's do it tonight."

So, Yi Ya turned around and called Nanny Wang and Nanny Su. Both Nannies were elders in the palace, experienced and deeply trusted by Yi Ya.

She smiled and said to them, "Mammies, we are going to hold a family dinner at home tonight to celebrate His Highness's promotion. Mammy Wang, please notify everyone in the mansion and ask them to make preparations. Mammy Su, please personally supervise the preparation of the dinner and make sure that every dish suits His Highness and everyone else's taste."

After hearing this, the two maids smiled with joy, quickly agreed, and turned around to go about their business. Yi Ya looked at their departing backs, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that with these two maids, tonight's banquet would be a complete success.

However, when Yi Ya stood alone in the courtyard, looking at the gradually darkening sky, she began to worry about the location of the banquet. The autumn night had brought a bit of coolness, and although the water pavilion was beautiful, it was no longer suitable for this time.

Just as she was hesitating, Yinzhen's voice sounded again.

"Why not just go to the main courtyard? It's spacious and bright there, and it's convenient for everyone to gather there without too much trouble."

Yi Ya's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she thought Yinzhen's proposal was very good. She nodded in agreement, and immediately called Bai Zhu, telling him to go to the main courtyard to make arrangements immediately, making sure that tonight's banquet was both warm and solemn.

As Bai Zhu took the order and left, the palace became busy again, while Yinzhen and Yi Ya stood side by side in the courtyard, looking at the main courtyard in the distance where the lights were gradually lighting up, their hearts filled with anticipation and joy for the upcoming gathering.

……

Deep inside the palace, Li Gege's residence was surrounded by a well-kept garden, which looked both quiet and elegant. At this time, the sun shone through the sparse clouds and sprinkled on the bluestone slabs in the courtyard, adding a bit of warmth to this small world.

Li Gege was sitting on the couch by the window, holding a book in her hands, enjoying this rare tranquility.

Suddenly, there was the sound of Nanny Wang's hurried footsteps outside the door, as well as her familiar and kind voice.

"Gege, good news!"

Hearing this, Li Gege put down the book in her hand, with a hint of curiosity and expectation in her eyes. She stood up and greeted Nanny Wang who came into the room, and asked softly, "Mammy, why are you in such a hurry?"

Nanny Wang smiled from ear to ear, bowed respectfully and said, "Princess, the prince is hosting a banquet in the main courtyard tonight to celebrate his promotion to prince. He has specifically ordered that everyone in the palace must attend, and you, princess, are naturally among the invited guests."

Hearing this, Li Gege's face lit up with a brilliant smile. She nodded with joy and then ordered the servant beside her: "Quick, send Wang Ma back and express my joy to the prince on my behalf."

After the servants respectfully sent Nanny Wang away, Zitan walked in from outside with the same joy on her face.

She walked over to Li Gege, bowed, and said sincerely, "Congratulations, Gege. Tonight will definitely be a lively night."

Although Li Gege was happy in her heart, she still maintained a reserved attitude. She looked at Zitan with a smile and asked softly, "What are you happy about? Is there any other happy event besides the prince's promotion?"

Zi Tan smiled slyly and lowered her voice to say, "Princess, think about it, the prince has been promoted to a prince, and the rules in the palace will naturally have to be adjusted. Logically, there should be a few more concubines to show the nobility. Now in the palace, in terms of talent, appearance, and virtue, the one who is qualified for promotion is none other than you, Princess. At the party tonight, I guess the prince is going to announce this matter."

When Li Gege heard this, she couldn't help but feel excited and expectant. She looked at Zitan with a gleam in her eyes, as if she had seen herself wearing gorgeous clothes and standing in front of everyone to receive congratulations.

So, she couldn't wait to say to Zitan: "In that case, please help me get ready quickly. I want to appear beautiful tonight and I can't embarrass the prince."

When Zitan heard Li Gege's instructions, she immediately took action. She first carefully selected a well-cut and colorful dress from the wardrobe. The embroidery on the dress was so delicate that it seemed to sway gently with her movements.

Afterwards, Zitan personally dressed up Li Gege. She skillfully tied her hair into a bun, inserted various pearls and jades, and then lightly applied makeup, making Li Gege's already beautiful face even more charming.

After a while, a beautiful woman appeared in the mirror. Her skin was as white as cream, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were full of autumn water. She looked like a fairy walking out of a painting. Li Gege looked at herself in the mirror, nodded with satisfaction, and praised Zitan's craftsmanship.

She stood up and turned around gently, her skirt fluttering in the air, as if she couldn't wait to step into the glorious night that was about to belong to her.
