Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

Yi Ya and De Fei were whispering in the Yonghe Palace, their words full of family matters and concern. The two were immersed in this rare quiet time, but were suddenly interrupted by a burst of hurried footsteps.

"Mother, mother!" Yinzhen rushed into the hall breathlessly, breaking the silence.

Defei frowned slightly and said angrily, "Fourteenth, why are you so reckless? Your fourth sister-in-law is also here, how can this be disrespectful!" Although she was reproaching him in her words, she held a handkerchief in her hand and carefully wiped the sweat from Yinzhen's forehead.

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen hurriedly steadied his breath, turned around and saluted Yiya: "Fourth sister-in-law is fine, Fourteenth was reckless."

Yi Ya smiled and helped him up: "Fourteenth brother, there is no need to be polite. We are all family."

Yinzhen straightened up, his expression unable to hide his excitement: "Mother, I heard that Fourth Sister-in-law brought Honghui here, and I... I have never met Honghui, so..." His words revealed his expectation and curiosity about his nephew.

Seeing her son's anxious look, Concubine De felt soft in her heart, but she was still unforgiving in her words: "Honghui won't run away, why are you so anxious? Come, let me show you." As she said that, she carefully handed Honghui in her arms to Yinzhen, motioning him to look.

Yinzhen looked at Honghui with an indescribable affection in his eyes. He gently teased Honghui's little hand, and his tone was full of tenderness and doting: "Honghui, I am your fourteenth uncle, your real uncle. You must grow up well and follow me in the future. I will take you to play."

Yi Ya and De Fei looked at Yin Zhen's funny look and couldn't help but smile at each other. The red tape in the palace seemed to become less important at this moment, replaced by the warmth and sincerity of family affection.

Yinzhen was not annoyed when he saw Yiya and Defei making fun of him. He just patted Honghui's head lovingly and said with a smile: "Honghui, you are such a clever little ghost."

Honghui seemed to feel the warmth and joy, blinking his big eyes and curiously looking at the strange uncle in front of him. His little hands tightly grasped Yinzhen's fingers, as if responding to this strong family affection in his own way.

Yinzhen was immediately surprised and exclaimed: "Mother, Honghui grabbed my hand! His hand is so small and soft, Honghui must like me very much."

Upon hearing this, Yi Ya came over to look and agreed with a smile, "Yes, Fourteenth Brother, look how much Hong Hui likes you. You two are really destined to be together."

Yinzhen was held by Honghui's little hand, and a warm current surged in his heart. He looked at Honghui's tender face, his eyes full of love. He couldn't help but ask Yiya: "Fourth sister-in-law, can I hug Honghui?"

Yi Ya was about to agree, but De Fei said first: "Yinzhen, no! What if you drop Honghui? He is still a child, what if something goes wrong..."

Yinzhen knew that Concubine De was worried about him, but he really wanted to hug Honghui. He tried to persuade Concubine De: "Mother, I will be careful. I really want to hug Honghui and feel his warmth."

Seeing her son's insistence, Concubine De hesitated. She knew Yinzhen's character very well. Once he decided to do something, he would go all out. At this time, Yi Ya said to Concubine De in a soft voice: "It's okay, mother. I believe that the fourteenth brother will be careful. He is a good boy and Honghui's uncle. He will cherish Honghui."

Yinzhen also nodded quickly and assured: "I will be careful, mother. I will be careful to hold Honghui and will not let him get hurt."

Seeing her son's determination, Concubine De had no choice but to nod in agreement. So, under the guidance of Nanny and Yiya, Yinzhen carefully held Honghui in his arms. He felt the warmth of Honghui's small body in his arms, and an indescribable joy surged in his heart.

He looked down at Honghui's young face and smiled gently. Honghui seemed to feel Yinzhen's joy and warmth. He opened his eyes wide and looked at this new world curiously.

Seeing her son and Honghui being so intimate, Concubine De couldn't help but have a better impression of Yi Ya. She knew that Yi Ya was not only a virtuous daughter-in-law, but also a good wife and mother who understood the ways of the world and could resolve conflicts. With such a daughter-in-law by her side, she felt at ease and relieved.

At this moment, Honghui suddenly chuckled, and his little hands gently patted Yinzhen's chest, as if expressing his joy and satisfaction. Seeing this, Yinzhen felt even warmer in his heart.

……

The afternoon sun shone obliquely into Yonghe Palace, warm and bright. Yi Ya looked out the window and felt that it was getting late, so she stood up, bowed to Concubine De, and prepared to say goodbye.

"Mother, it's getting late. I'm afraid I have to say goodbye and prepare to return home." Yi Ya's voice was gentle and humble.

Concubine De smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, it's really getting late, you should go back. There are so many people in the palace and Honghui is still young, so it's really not appropriate for him to stay for long."

At this time, Yinzhen looked up at Yiya with a hint of reluctance in his eyes, then lowered his head to look at Honghui and said softly: "Fourth sister-in-law, can you let Honghui stay in the palace for a while longer? I like him very much and want to play with him more."

Yi Ya frowned slightly. She knew Yinzhen liked children, but Honghui was still young after all, and she didn't want him to be exposed to the tedious affairs of the palace too early. So, she gently refused: "Fourteenth brother, I know you like Honghui, but he is still young, and he may not be able to adapt to the environment in the palace. Let's let him go back to the mansion."

Defei also echoed, "Yinzhen, just listen to your fourth sister-in-law. Honghui is indeed not suitable to stay in the palace for a long time."

Yinzhen was a little disappointed, but he knew it was the best arrangement. He sighed and said, "Okay, since you said so, I won't stop you. But, Sister-in-law, you must bring Honghui to the palace to see me more often in the future!"

Yiya nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, we will. Besides, you can also go out of the palace to visit Honghui at the Fourth Prince's Mansion."

When Yinzhen heard this, his mood immediately improved. He looked at Concubine De and said happily, "Really? Then I will definitely visit Honghui at the Fourth Prince's Mansion often!"

Seeing this, Concubine De nodded in agreement.

Yi Ya also laughed. She bowed to Concubine De again, then left Yonghe Palace with Honghui and Nanny Wang.

On the way out of the palace, Nanny Wang looked at Yi Ya and Hong Hui's backs and said softly, "The Fourteenth Prince is still a child himself, and he likes children so much."

Yi Ya smiled and said, "Yes, although he is a little childish, he is very pure and kind at heart. This is also what makes him attractive."

Nanny Wang nodded in agreement. The two chatted and left the palace with Honghui, embarking on the journey back home.

The sun shines on them, warm and cozy. Yiya's heart is full of expectations and hopes. She knows that no matter how the future changes, she will try her best to protect Honghui and this pure emotion.
