Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

Yi Ya had just finished chatting with the Crown Princess and others when the wet nurse in Li Gege's courtyard gently held Hong Pan and slowly walked into the courtyard on the soft carpet.

"Nanny, you and the Second Prince are here." Yinzhen stepped forward with a gentle smile on his face.

The wet nurse bowed respectfully: "Your servant greets the Fourth Master and the Madam." She lowered her head, and there was a hint of awe in her voice.

Lady Yi Ya smiled and nodded. Her eyes fell on Hong Pan, revealing a hint of tenderness: "Hong Pan has grown up a lot too."

Although Hong Pan was small, he could feel the excitement and attention around him, and his eyes scanned everything around him curiously. However, because he was born with a weak constitution, his physical development was not as good as Hong Hui's, and his eyes revealed a hint of fragility.

The guests came forward one after another, praising them endlessly: "What a well-behaved couple! The eldest and second princes are both so cute!"

However, these praises were mostly directed at Honghui, while Hongpan seemed to be ignored and stood quietly aside. Nanny saw this and felt mixed emotions.

After the banquet, Nanny took Hong Pan back to the west courtyard. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Li Gege came up to them eagerly: "Nanny, how was the banquet today? Was Hong Pan liked by everyone?"

The nanny sighed, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face: "Princess, most of the guests today only know how to praise the eldest prince, but our Hong Pan seems to have been forgotten."

Hearing this, Li Gege was filled with anger: "These people are so snobbish! Do they look down on our Hong Pan just because Hong Hui was born to Fu Jin?"

The nanny nodded and continued, "Yes, the Fourth Master only glanced at Hong Pan indifferently and asked me to take him with Fu Jin. He often asked about the eldest prince's situation."

Li Gege was even more furious: "I worked so hard to give birth to Hong Pan, but got nothing in return! I originally thought that I could be canonized as a concubine, but now it seems that everything is just wishful thinking!"

She clenched her hands into fists, with resentment flashing in her eyes: "I can't go on like this! I have to find a way to make Master see Hong Pan's strengths and let him know that our Hong Pan is equally worthy of love!"

Nanny looked at Li Gege's determined eyes and knew that she was determined to fight for favor and status. However, she also knew that this struggle would not be easy, and she had to do her best for Hong Pan's future.

A contest for power and favor quietly unfolds deep in the Fourth Prince's Mansion...

……

The moonlight at night sprinkled on the bluestone road in the main courtyard, reflecting a faint silver light. Today is the day of Honghui's full moon, and the whole mansion is immersed in joy. After a busy day, Yinzhen finally had time to come to the main courtyard to visit Yiya and their children.

Bai Zhu had been waiting for a long time. She knew that tonight was of great significance to Yi Ya. Not only was it her first time to spend intimate time with Yin Zhen after her confinement, but it was also a moment for her as a mother to share the joy of having a child with her husband. Therefore, she dressed Yi Ya up carefully, letting her appear in plain clothes, like a secluded orchid in the valley, elegant and noble.

When Yinzhen stepped into the room, he saw Yi Ya in plain clothes. She sat on the bed, the moonlight shining on her from the window, like an orchid in the valley, fresh and refined. He stared at her in a daze, as if the whole world had stopped.

"Greetings to my master." Upon seeing this, everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted. Yinzhen then came to his senses, coughed lightly, and signaled everyone to stand up.

"Master is here." Yi Ya said softly, with a happy smile on her face.

Yinzhen nodded, walked towards Yiya, and looked at her deeply: "You are very beautiful today."

Yi Ya lowered her head shyly and said softly, "Thank you for the compliment, Master."

After they sat down, they began to talk about what happened at the full moon banquet today. Yiya shared the guests' praise and Honghui's lovely performance, while Yinzhen listened carefully and nodded in agreement from time to time.

As they chatted, Yi Ya suddenly remembered the matter of the eldest wife: "Today, I heard from my third sister-in-law that the eldest wife has not been in good health recently. I want to go visit her."

Yinzhen frowned slightly: "I have also heard about the matter of my sister-in-law. It is right for you to visit her. But... you have to be careful."

Yi Ya nodded: "I will pay attention. But... I am a little worried about her health."

Yinzhen sighed: "Some things are beyond our control. We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate."

The two were silent for a while, and Yi Ya spoke again: "There is something else I want to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?" Yinzhen looked up at Yiya.

"Empress Defei has never met Honghui. I want to bring Honghui to the palace to meet her in a few days." Yi Ya said softly.

Yinzhen pondered for a while after hearing this, and then slowly said: "It is indeed right to go to see the Empress Defei, but... Honghui is still too young, I am afraid he can't adapt to the environment in the palace."

Yiya understood Yinzhen's concerns: "I know you are worried, but Empress Defei is Honghui's grandmother, and she really wants to see her grandson. Moreover, I believe there will be someone in the Empress's Palace who will take care of Honghui."

Yinzhen thought about it and finally nodded: "Okay, then take Honghui to the palace to meet Empress Defei in a few days. Just be careful and don't let yourself and Honghui get hurt."

Yi Ya looked at Yin Zhen gratefully: "Thank you for believing in me and supporting me."

Then, she asked tentatively, "Master, what about the Second Prince? Do you need to bring him to see the Empress Defei as well?"

Yinzhen was silent for a while before he spoke slowly: "Hongpan is still too weak. I am not at ease with Honghui, let alone Hongpan. There are many people in the palace, and if something goes wrong..."

Yi Ya understood Yin Zhen's concerns and stopped insisting: "My Lord is right, less trouble is worse than more. Then I will just take Hong Hui with me."

After the two chatted for a while, Yinzhen saw that it was getting late and said to Yiya, "It's getting late, go to bed early."

Yiya hurriedly asked someone to come in and help Yinzhen wash and rest. However, at this moment, someone suddenly came in hurriedly - it was Yinzhen's personal guard Su Peisheng.

"Master, I have an urgent matter to report." Su Peisheng looked nervous and serious.

Yinzhen frowned: "What's the matter?"

After Su Peisheng whispered a few words in his ear, Yinzhen's face suddenly became solemn. He turned to look at Yi Ya and said, "I have some urgent matters to deal with, so I may not be able to stay overnight."

Although Yi Ya was a little disappointed, she was more worried: "Did something happen? Do you need my help?"

Yinzhen shook his head: "Don't worry, I will take care of it. You just need to take care of yourself and Honghui."

After saying that, Yinzhen hurriedly left the main courtyard. Yi Ya stood at the door and watched his back gradually go away, and a ripple appeared in her heart...
