Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

In the hot summer, the bricks and tiles of the Forbidden City seemed to melt under the scorching sun. In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Emperor Kangxi, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, frowned and stared at the gradually rising temperature outside the window.

"Li Dequan." Emperor Kangxi called softly.

Li Dequan immediately came over from the corner, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Your servant is here, what do you want, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Kangxi sighed and said, "This summer seems to be hotter than ever before. I think it would be better to go to Changchun Garden to escape the heat. You go and inform the palaces to prepare, and we will set off for Changchun Garden in a few days."

Li Dequan nodded and replied, "Yes, I'll do it right away." After that, he turned around and left the Qianqing Palace, and hurried to various palaces to convey Emperor Kangxi's order.

When the Empress Dowager and high-ranking concubines in the palace heard the news, they all got busy packing their bags and prepared to go to Changchun Garden. The princes also began to arrange for the staff in the backyard to accompany them.

In the main courtyard of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, as soon as Nanny Wang heard the news that Emperor Kangxi was going to Changchun Garden, she immediately rushed to tell Lady Yi Ya.

"Fujin, have you heard? The emperor decided to go to Changchun Garden to escape the summer heat." Nanny Wang said anxiously.

Lady Yi Ya was embroidering a handkerchief in her hand. She nodded gently and said calmly, "Yes, I understand."

Nanny Wang looked at Concubine Yi Ya's reaction and couldn't help but feel a little worried. She thought about it and couldn't help but say, "Concubine, I don't know who the prince will take to Changchun Garden this time. Although it may be a bit too much for me to say this, I still hope that you can go."

Lady Yi Ya put down her needlework, looked up at Nanny Wang, and smiled slightly: "Nanny Wang, these things are not for us to decide. The prince has his own considerations, and we just have to follow his orders."

After hearing this, Nanny Wang sighed helplessly and nodded. She knew that Lady Yi Ya was telling the truth. These years of living in the palace had taught her how to deal with various situations. Although she hoped that Lady Yi Ya could accompany Prince Beile to Changchun Garden, she also understood that this was not something she could decide.

It was a hot summer day, and the government affairs in the front yard were piled up like a mountain. Yinzhen was buried in the documents, frowning, concentrating on processing the memorials. At this time, Su Peisheng knocked on the door: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Yinzhen looked up, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, but he still waved his hand to signal Su Peisheng to come in. The door creaked open, and Su Peisheng walked in cautiously, bowed his body, and saluted Yinzhen respectfully: "Sir, someone from the palace said that Emperor Kangxi plans to go to Changchun Garden to escape the summer heat, and asked all the mansions to prepare."

Yinzhen put down the pen in his hand, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I understand." There was no expression on his face, but Su Peisheng could read a hint of depth in his eyes.

Su Peisheng hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Master, who do you plan to take with you on this summer vacation?" This question was not within the scope of his responsibilities, but Yinzhen seldom went to the main courtyard recently, and the atmosphere in the mansion became a little subtle, forcing him to be cautious.

Yinzhen looked at Su Peisheng's slightly embarrassed look and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew that Su Peisheng was testing him and wanted to know his attitude towards Yi Ya. After thinking for a while, he said calmly: "Fujin, Li Gege and Song Gege all have children, so let them all go. Wu is alone, so let her go with her."

After hearing this, Su Peisheng quickly agreed and then went out to convey the news to each academy.

After hearing the news, the women in each courtyard began to get busy and prepare for the upcoming trip to Changchun Garden. After hearing the news, Yi Ya's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. She was not as excited or nervous as other women, but seemed unusually calm, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

Yi Ya sat by the window, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside, feeling peaceful in her heart. She knew her position in Yin Zhen's heart, and understood that his decision was not out of concern for her, but out of the rules and dignity of the palace.

……

On the other hand, Li Gege's eyes lit up when she heard that Yinzhen was going to take her to Changchun Garden for summer vacation. Last time, Yinzhen only brought Yiya with him, which made her feel a little disappointed. Now that she finally has the opportunity to travel with Yinzhen, how can she not be excited?

"Zitan, besides me, is there anyone else going?" Li Gege asked anxiously, with a hint of anticipation in her tone.

Zitan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then replied, "In reply to Gege, besides you, there are also Fu Jin, Song Gege, Wu Shi and others."

After hearing this, Li Gege's face changed slightly. She thought Yinzhen would only bring her, but she didn't expect there would be others. But then, she remembered that Fu Jin was mad at Yinzhen, Song Gege was only interested in Er Gege, and although Wu was also favored, she was no match for her. Thinking of this, her mood improved again.

"Zitan, go down and prepare well." Li Gege ordered, with a confident smile on his face.

At the same time, Song Gege also learned that Yinzhen was going to take her to Changchun Garden. Although she was not the only one chosen, she was already satisfied. For her, being able to leave the heat of the Forbidden City and enjoy the coolness was already a very happy thing.

"Princess, that's great. You can finally have a good summer this year." The maid Chunhua was happy for Princess Song and her tone was full of joy.

Song Gege nodded and smiled gently. She didn't care whether she could get Yinzhen's favor or not. She just hoped that Ergege could grow up healthily. Now that she had this opportunity, she was naturally very happy.

"Yes, this way the Second Princess can avoid getting sick from heatstroke this summer. In fact, it doesn't matter what happens to me, as long as the Second Princess is fine, I will be satisfied." Song Gege said softly, her eyes full of love for the Second Princess.

On the other side, Wu also learned the news. Although everyone went this time, she still hoped to be favored by Yinzhen. Although Yinzhen came to her room several times a month, she hoped to have a child of her own, so that her position would be more stable.

"Master, I will prepare some nice clothes for you. When we get to the garden, you can wear them and show them to me." The maidservant at the side suggested, trying to please her master.

Wu thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so she nodded in agreement. She knew that her appearance was not particularly outstanding, but if she could wear beautiful clothes, maybe she could attract Yinzhen's attention?

The entire Forbidden City was boiling with excitement because of the upcoming trip to Changchun Garden, and everyone was looking forward to spending a pleasant summer there. Li Gege, Song Gege, Wu Shi and others were also praying silently in their hearts, hoping to get what they wanted in this summer.
