Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

The next morning, the sun shone through the fine curtains onto Yi Ya's face. She gently opened her eyes, and the promise she made to Hong Hui last time flashed through her mind - to bring him to the palace to visit Concubine De. Thinking of this, she immediately sat up from the bed and decided not to delay any longer.

"Madame Wang." Yi Ya called softly.

Nanny Wang came over upon hearing the noise and stood respectfully in front of the bed, "I'm here, Madam, you're awake."

"Well, I have decided. I will bring Honghui to the palace to see Concubine De today. Mammy, please ask the wet nurse to prepare." Yi Ya said as she stood up and began to wash and dress.

"Yes, I'll go right away." Upon hearing this, Nanny Wang immediately understood what Yi Ya meant and hurried downstairs to inform the wet nurse to prepare.

After a while, Yi Ya had finished washing up. She walked into Honghui's room and saw Honghui opening his big round eyes, looking at everything around him curiously.

"Honghui, today we are going to the palace together to see Concubine De, are you happy?" Yiya stroked Honghui's head gently.

Honghui seemed to understand Yiya's words and smiled innocently.

Afterwards, Yi Ya took Hong Hui on the carriage. As the carriage drove on the road, Yi Ya looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside the window and felt relieved. She had not left the house for a long time, and now that she was out, it seemed as if the whole world had become fresh and interesting.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the palace gate. Yiya held Honghui's hand and walked on the palace road. Honghui looked around with his big eyes. After all, it was his first time out of the palace, and everything outside was new to him.

Yi Ya walked lightly into the courtyard of Yonghe Palace. The breeze blew by, bringing a faint scent of flowers. She stood in front of the palace gate and asked her personal maid to go in and inform Empress Defei. Yonghe Palace is a quiet and elegant palace in the imperial palace. The palace's flying eaves and painted buildings sparkled in the sun, looking solemn yet warm.

Soon, the voice of a palace maid was heard from inside: "Mrs. Defei, the Fourth Lady and Prince Honghui have arrived."

Empress Defei was drinking tea. When she heard this, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face. She put down the teacup in her hand and said anxiously, "Quick, please invite the Fourth Lady and Prince Honghui in."

Yi Ya brought Hong Hui into the palace. She first performed a standard blessing ceremony to Consort De: "I pay my respects to you, madam. May you be blessed with good health and good health."

Empress Defei helped Yiya up, her eyes full of love: "No need to be polite, please sit down. Let me take a good look at Honghui."

Empress Defei took Honghui from the nurse and held him in her arms. Although Honghui was still young, he seemed to be able to feel the warmth and kindness of Empress Defei. He looked at Empress Defei curiously with his eyes wide open, and an innocent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Concubine De teased Honghui with a happy smile on her face: "Ma'am's dear grandson, you are getting more and more handsome. Ma'am, I miss you so much."

Yi Ya watched the interaction between Concubine De and Hong Hui from the side, and she couldn't help but feel a little relieved. She knew that Concubine De's love for Hong Hui was not only because of blood relationship, but also because Concubine De was a kind and loving person.

The Empress Defei then turned to ask Yiya: "Yiya, how is Honghui these days? Is there anything new to share with me?"

Yi Ya smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, Honghui is doing well these days. His appetite has also increased, and he is full of energy all day long and can't rest for a moment."

After hearing this, Concubine De was even happier: "You are a good mother, taking such good care of Honghui. I feel much more at ease with you by his side."

Yiya smiled modestly and said nothing more. She knew that her efforts and dedication were worth it, and as long as Honghui could grow up healthily and happily, she would be satisfied.

At this moment, Defei looked at Honghui who was laughing in her arms, and thought of another child in Yinzhen's house. She hurriedly asked Yiya, "Yiya, I heard that the health of the second prince Hongpan in the house has not been very good. I wonder how he is now?"

Yi Ya's heart tightened, she knew that Concubine De was asking the truth. Although she herself had not taken care of Hong Pan personally, as a concubine, she knew all the affairs of the mansion.

She quickly adjusted her mindset and replied, "To answer your mother's question, although the Second Prince was born with a weak body, he has improved a lot after the careful care of the court doctor. Although his physical condition is not as good as Honghui's, he has made obvious progress. The court doctor said that as long as he doesn't get sick often, there will be no problem."

After hearing this, Concubine De nodded slightly, with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes. She looked at Yiya and said softly, "Yiya, you have worked hard. Although you are not Hongpan's biological mother, as his legitimate mother, you should still care about him more. After all, his biological mother, Li, is only a princess, and the care she can give him is limited."

After hearing this, Yi Ya felt warm in her heart. She knew that Concubine De was reminding her that as the legitimate mother, she had the responsibility to take good care of Hong Pan. She nodded deeply, indicating that she understood.

Seeing that Yi Ya had listened to her words, Concubine De was very pleased. She then asked about the recent situation in the mansion: "Yiya, is there anything new in the mansion recently? Or is there anything that needs help from an old lady like me?"

Yi Ya's heart moved. She didn't want Concubine De to know about the cold war between her and Yinzhen recently. So, she smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, everything is fine in the mansion. My master and I are busy with the affairs of the mansion and the education of the children. There is nothing special. If there is anything that needs your help, I will definitely come to ask you."

After hearing this, Concubine De nodded with satisfaction. She knew that Yi Ya was a smart and capable woman who could properly handle the affairs of the mansion. She smiled and said, "As long as everything is fine. Yi Ya, you are a good child. I know you can handle the affairs of the mansion in an orderly manner. If you need any help in the future, or if there are people who have committed crimes in the mansion, just come to me. Don't be afraid, I will deal with them as I should."

After hearing this, Yi Ya felt a warm current in her heart. She knew that Concubine De was really doing good for her and was supporting her. She looked at Concubine De with gratitude and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern and support, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your expectations and handle the affairs of the mansion more properly."

Then the two chatted for a while about the recent events in the palace and some trivial matters, while teasing Honghui who was playing nearby. The whole palace was filled with laughter and maternal love.
