Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

Inside the palace walls, when Wu Gege first entered the palace, she was like a quiet water lily, not fighting with the world. Her eyes were clear, like a mountain stream, and she always kept a slight distance from the complicated world in the palace. At that time, she just wanted to spend her days in peace and did not want to be involved in the endless struggle.

However, as time passed, the situation in the mansion changed, and a series of events followed, forcing Wu Gege to re-examine her position. She witnessed the ups and downs of the people around her and felt the subtlety and complexity of power.

She saw those who were once in the limelight fall into the abyss in an instant because of a momentary negligence or being framed by others. However, those who knew how to fight and use strategies could remain invincible in the turbulent court.

All this caused waves in Wu Gege's heart. She began to reflect on her way of dealing with the world. Was she too conservative and passive? Should she learn to fight for it and learn to protect herself and the people she cared about?

……

As night fell, the Fourth Prince's Mansion was immersed in a peaceful night. The pavilion by the water in the mansion had already been carefully decorated, brightly lit and shining. Tonight, there would be a silent contest here, and the two protagonists, Wu Ya Zhixi and Niu Hulu Qingran, had already arrived one after another.

Wu Yazhixi, wearing a gorgeous palace dress, walked into the pavilion with a light step. Her face was filled with a smug smile, as if she had foreseen that she would become the favorite of the night. She glanced at Niu Hulu Qingran sitting in the pavilion, and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes.

Niu Hulu Qingran was dressed in a simple and elegant outfit, sitting there quietly, with a noble and gentle temperament. When she saw Wu Yazhixi coming, she smiled slightly, stood up and saluted.

"Sister Wuya is here." Niu Hulu Qingran's voice was soft and pleasant.

Wu Yazhixi snorted in response. She did not intend to exchange too much pleasantries with Niu Hulu Qingran, and went straight to the stone bench in the pavilion and sat down, her eyes revealing a kind of disdain and arrogance.

Seeing this, Niu Hulu Qingran didn't take it seriously, just smiled faintly and sat back in her seat. The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became a little awkward.

"Sister Niu Hulu, it will be interesting for us to wait here together tonight." Wu Yazhixi finally spoke, but there was a hint of provocation in her tone.

Niu Hulu Qingran raised her head slightly, met Wu Yazhixi's gaze, and said, "Sister is right. It is indeed rare to be able to be together here with you."

Wu Yazhixi sneered and said, "Sister, you come from a famous family with a distinguished background. I believe your chances of sleeping with me tonight are much greater than mine. But, do you understand the rules of this mansion?"

Upon hearing this, Niu Hulu Qingran shook her head gently and said, "Sister, please don't make fun of me. I'm new here and don't know much about the rules of this mansion. However, I believe that no matter who sleeps with me, it is the favor of the prince, and I dare not have the slightest improper thought."

Wu Yazhixi couldn't help but feel a little angry when she heard this. She thought that Niu Hulu Qingran was pretending to be stupid and trying to cover up her ambitions. So she decided to point it out directly.

Wu Yazhixi snorted lightly, glanced at Niu Hulu Qingran with disdain, and said: "Sister, you come from a famous family with a distinguished family background, so naturally you have no shortage of opportunities. But tonight, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."

Niu Hulu Qingran raised her eyebrows slightly, but was not angry. She just responded calmly: "Why do you say that, sister? I have never thought of arguing for anything. I just let things take their course."

Wu Yazhixi sneered and said, "Sister, you really have a good attitude. However, the person who will sleep with me tonight is probably a done deal."

Niu Hulu Qingran couldn't help but sneer in her heart when she heard this. She didn't think Wu Yazhixi had the right to be so proud, because in this deep palace, who can be favored is not determined by relationships and family background.

But she did not directly refute Wu Yazhixi's words, she just smiled faintly and said: "Sister is right, I am ashamed of myself. But, who can say for sure what happened in this mansion?"

The conversation between the two ended like this, and the pavilion fell into silence again. As the night deepened, in the pavilion by the water in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, the two women had different thoughts, and it was still unknown who would become the prince's favorite tonight.
