Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

Life in the Fourth Prince's Mansion went on as usual. On the surface, it seemed peaceful, but behind it lay a turbulent storm. In addition to accompanying the pregnant Yi Ya, Yinzhen would occasionally visit Li Gege and Song Gege. The rest of the time, he would either rest in the front yard or go to the residences of Wu or Geng.

In the early morning of that day, the sun shone in every corner of the palace. Yi Ya, wearing a light and elegant long dress, walked into the Yonghe Palace with light steps to pay her respects to Concubine De. The Yonghe Palace was beautifully decorated, and the palace maids and eunuchs stood respectfully with their heads bowed.

Yi Ya walked up to Concubine De, bowed respectfully, and said softly, "Yiya greets mother."

When Concubine De looked up and saw Yi Ya, a warm light flashed in her eyes. She took Yi Ya's hand, asked her to sit next to her, and asked with concern: "The fourth elder's family is here. How are you these days? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yiya smiled and shook her head, stroking her belly, and said gently: "Mother, Yiya is fine. The child is also very well-behaved and obedient, so Yiya doesn't feel any discomfort."

After hearing this, Concubine De smiled with relief. She gently patted the back of Yi Ya's hand and said, "That's good. You must take good care of yourself, for you and the child."

Afterwards, Concubine De thought of the two new ladies, Wu and Geng, in the Fourth Prince's mansion. She asked Yi Ya, "Father of the Fourth Prince's family, what do you think of the two ladies, Wu and Geng, in your mansion? How have they been behaving lately?"

Yi Ya thought for a moment and replied, "My dear mother, Wu and Geng were chosen by the Emperor to live in the palace. They are naturally excellent. They behaved themselves in the palace and did not do anything out of line."

After hearing this, Concubine De nodded in agreement. She added, "Since they are law-abiding, you don't have to be too harsh on them. But if they make any mistakes, don't be lenient and punish them accordingly."

Yi Ya replied respectfully, "Yes," and then added, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Yi Ya understands."

The two chatted for a while in Yonghe Palace. When Concubine De saw Yi Ya stand up to say goodbye, she asked the maids to take her back. Yi Ya supported her waist and slowly stood up. After bowing to Concubine De, she left Yonghe Palace with the maids.

After Yi Ya left Yonghe Palace, she walked with Bai Zhu on the wide palace road. The sun shone on the palace walls, and the golden light contrasted with the vermilion of the palace. The palace maids and eunuchs lowered their heads to work, and everything seemed so peaceful and orderly.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind: "Fourth brother's sister-in-law, wait for me!" Yi Ya turned around and saw that it was the third wife, Dong E, who was walking towards her quickly with a cute little prince in her arms.

Yi Ya quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Hello, Third Sister-in-law. Little Brother is getting cuter and cuter."

Dong E smiled and helped Yi Ya up, saying, "Today I brought my little prince to the palace to see Concubine Rong. She misses her grandson. What about you? Why did you come out alone?"

Yi Ya touched her belly and said softly, "I just came back from paying my respects to my mother."

Yi Ya looked at the cute little prince in Dong E's arms and reached out to tease him. The little prince immediately giggled, and she couldn't help but laugh along. Seeing this, Dong E smiled and said, "It seems that my sister also likes children. When your child is born, he will definitely be lively and cute."

Yi Ya smiled and said, "Borrow it from Third Sister-in-law. But the child is still too young, I don't know what kind of personality he will have in the future."

Dong E smiled, and suddenly remembered something, and asked in a low voice: "Fourth brother's wife, do you know what happened to my eldest sister-in-law recently?"

Yi Ya was bewildered after hearing this, and shook her head and said, "I don't know, what could have happened to my sister-in-law?"

Seeing that Yi Ya really didn't know, Dong E told her softly, "Sister-in-law is pregnant."

Yi Ya exclaimed after hearing this: "Really? It's only been a short time and she's pregnant again? Can her body handle it?"

Dong E sighed and said, "It happened recently. I heard that she is not feeling well and has been staying in bed to recuperate. She really didn't even want to give up her life to give birth to a son."

After hearing this, Yi Ya was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "In order to give birth to a son, she even gave up her own life. This may be the helplessness of being a concubine."

Dong E nodded and said, "Yes, as concubines, we have no control over many things. But then again, the eldest prince was recently scolded by the emperor for this matter."

Yi Ya asked in surprise: "Why? Didn't the eldest prince take good care of the eldest wife?"

Dong E shook her head and said, "I don't know the details, but I heard that the emperor is very disappointed with the eldest prince and has not been to Concubine Hui's palace recently."

The two chatted and walked out of the palace. Yi Ya looked at the sky in the distance, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart. As concubines, they have helplessness and pressure that others cannot understand, but it is this pressure that makes them cherish every bit of beauty and warmth in life.

……

After Yinzhen finished his tedious government affairs, he came to the main courtyard to have dinner with Yi Ya as usual. He gently pushed open the door, but found Yi Ya sitting in front of the window with a heavy heart, staring at the scenery outside the window, seemingly immersed in her own thoughts.

Yinzhen walked lightly to Yiya and asked gently, "What's wrong, Yiya? You look a little unhappy."

Yi Ya was brought back to reality by Yinzhen's voice. When she came to her senses, she found that Yinzhen was already standing beside her. She quickly stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Fourth Master."

Yinzhen gently helped her up and said softly, "No need, there is no need for these false formalities between us. Tell me, what happened to you?"

Yi Ya hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed her worries: "I heard that the eldest wife is pregnant again, but her health doesn't seem to be very good, and she has been recuperating in bed."

Yinzhen nodded, indicating that he also knew about this matter: "Yes, I heard about it too. But don't worry, I believe she will get better."

Yi Ya looked at Yin Zhen and sighed softly: "I'm not worried about the first wife, I'm worried about myself."

Yinzhen looked at Yiya with some surprise: "Yiya, you won't. I will always be by your side to take care of you and our children. I believe you will be a good mother, and we will watch them grow up healthy and happy together."

Yi Ya looked at Yin Zhen with gratitude. She knew that Yin Zhen's words were sincere. But she knew that Yin Zhen had misunderstood. She did not associate herself with the first wife. In fact, she was thinking about herself in the previous life.

In her previous life, Yi Ya was devastated by the loss of her child Hong Hui. She was desperate to have another child, but neglected her own body. She became emaciated and even looked like a ghost. In the end, she was unable to give birth again and passed away early.

In this life, she saw the physical condition of the first wife, as if she saw herself in the previous life. She hoped that the first wife could take care of her health and not go down the same unfortunate path as her.

She snuggled gently in Yinzhen's arms, feeling his warmth and firmness.

The two hugged each other quietly for a while, then Yinzhen let go of Yiya and said softly: "Okay, don't think about these things anymore. Let's go to dinner together. I specially asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes."

Yiya nodded and let Yinzhen lead her hand to the dining table. She knew that no matter what the future would be like, as long as Honghui was by her side, she would have the courage to face everything. And she also firmly believed that she would be a good mother and spend a happy time with her children.
