Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

After telling Song Gege's recent situation, Yi Ya and De Fei sat at the stone table in the courtyard, sipping tea and chatting about family matters. The autumn wind blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but it could not take away the warmth in the hearts of the two palace women.

"Speaking of which, when I entered the palace today, I met my third sister-in-law by chance. She looked very happy, obviously because of some good news." Yi Ya smiled slightly, and the topic naturally turned to what was happening in the palace.

De Fei put down the teacup in her hand, leaned forward curiously and asked, "Oh? San Fu Jin? Why is she coming to the palace at this time?"

Yi Ya replied, "My third sister-in-law is pregnant, and she came here specially to tell Empress Rong the good news."

When Concubine De heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she immediately thought of Yi Ya. She remembered that the last time Song was pregnant, she had asked Yi Ya if she had any good news, but Yi Ya shook her head at that time. So Concubine De couldn't help but ask again: "Yiya, you said last time that you were not pregnant, so now...?"

Yi Ya lowered her head slightly and smiled helplessly: "It's still the same, no good news."

Defei sighed, her eyes full of concern and expectation. She gently patted the back of Yiya's hand and said softly, "Don't be too anxious, fate will always come. I just hope that you can give birth to a legitimate son for Yinzhen as soon as possible to continue the royal bloodline."

Yi Ya was touched when she heard what Concubine De said. She knew that Concubine De was really thinking about her, and she also understood that her situation in the palace and her future hopes were pinned on this matter. So, she took a deep breath, tried to suppress the melancholy in her heart, and smiled: "Thank you for your kind words, mother. Yi Ya will keep them in mind."

The two chatted for a while, and when Concubine De saw that Yi Ya's expression was gradually getting better, she knew that she had temporarily put aside her worries. So, she said nothing more, but just patted Yi Ya's hand gently, indicating that she didn't need to worry too much.

Time passed slowly as the two chatted warmly, until it was getting dark, and Yi Ya got up to leave. De Fei watched Yi Ya's back as she left, and silently prayed for her in her heart, hoping that her wish would come true soon.

……

When night fell, Yinzhen finally finished his many days of official duties and returned to his mansion exhausted. His figure seemed even more lonely under the moonlight, but he knew that there was a warm place waiting for him.

Yi Ya had already prepared hot water and soft towels, and washed Yin Zhen carefully. Her movements were gentle and skillful, as if she was expressing her silent love. Yin Zhen looked at her profile, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that no matter how noisy the outside world was, this place would always be his safe haven.

Dinner was ready, and the two sat opposite each other, enjoying this rare quiet time. Yi Ya served dishes to Yin Zhen from time to time, and the two chatted about daily trivialities, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm. After dinner, Yi Ya served Yin Zhen a cup of tea, and he took the teacup and took a sip, dispelling his fatigue.

"Today in the palace, I heard the good news that the Third Lady is pregnant." Yi Ya spoke softly, with a hint of envy in her tone, "I'm sure the Third Prince must be ecstatic at this moment."

Yinzhen put down the teacup and smiled faintly, "It's good news, the third prince is finally going to have his own son." He looked up at Yi Ya, a hint of meaning flashed in his eyes, "Did mother induce labor again today?"

Yi Ya lowered her head and nodded gently: "Mother is worried and confused, I hope I can give birth to a legitimate son for the family as soon as possible."

Yinzhen did not say anything, but just looked at Yiya quietly. Tonight, she was wearing a simple and elegant dress, with long hair like a waterfall, quietly falling on her shoulders. Her face was pretty, and her eyes revealed a hint of determination and expectation. He knew that Yiya had always been looking forward to having a child of her own, and she had put in a lot of effort and hard work for this goal.

With an inexplicable emotion in his heart, Yinzhen stood up and walked to Yiya, hugging her gently: "Don't worry, the matter of having a child will come slowly, and there will be one eventually."

Yi Ya snuggled in Yinzhen's arms, feeling his warmth and firmness. She knew that whether she still loved Yinzhen or not, she hoped that Honghui from her previous life would be with her as soon as possible.

As the night deepened, the two fell asleep in each other's arms. In their dreams, they looked forward to the future days bringing more joy and happiness. And Yi Ya also prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Yinzhen would come to her room more often, so that she would have the opportunity to realize her wish.

……

At this time, in the West Courtyard, at Li Gege's place, she was filled with joy and expectation when she learned that Yinzhen was about to return home, hoping that Yinzhen could come to her courtyard.

"Zitan, is the master back?" Li Gege asked the maid beside her.

"He's back. I heard that he went to Lady Fujin's courtyard as soon as he got back home." Zitan said cautiously while watching Li's increasingly gloomy face.

Li Gege was sitting in a fine room, playing with a jade bracelet in her hand. After hearing Zitan's words, she immediately threw the bracelet to the ground. She was still saying, "Another concubine, another concubine. Not only can she not give birth to a child, but she also monopolizes me all day long."

Hearing that her princess was becoming more and more outspoken, Zitan quickly tried to dissuade her: "Princess, be careful with your words. There are ears on the other side of the wall. If someone with ulterior motives overhears you, you will be blamed by the lady and the master."

"Blame me if you want, isn't what I said the truth?" Li Gege became more and more angry. She was originally the daughter of a wealthy family. Although she was not worthy of the princes like Yinzhen, she was more than qualified to be the wife of an ordinary family. However, she didn't expect that she would be selected as a concubine of the fourth prince Yinzhen. Everything is beyond your control, so you need to be careful in everything.

The more I thought about her, the more aggrieved I felt, and I couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Princess, please calm down and stop crying. After all, it is only natural for me to rest in Fu Jin's room, but I definitely have you in my heart. Princess, think about what good things I usually have. I have asked someone to send them to you."

"And didn't the princess say it? The concubine has not given birth to my eldest son yet. You must try your best to give birth to my eldest son before the concubine gets pregnant. By then, I will ask for a concubine for you, right?" Nanny Liu at the side offered advice.

When Li Gege heard this, she was moved. "Mammy is right. I only have one child, the eldest one. Although Master loves her very much, she is not a son after all. If I had given birth to a son before Master, then the position of Concubine would have been mine."

The more she thought about Li Gege, the happier she became, as if the position of concubine was already in her hands.

"Mammy, forget about it today. You must let me come to my room tomorrow. Then you can tell me that the eldest princess hasn't seen father for a few days and misses him."

"Yes, Princess, I will definitely get it done tomorrow."

In this way, Li Gege spent a long night, looking forward to Yinzhen's arrival tomorrow.
