Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

The night was as dark as water, and the lights of the palace reflected Niu Hulu Qingran's slightly deep face. She sat on the soft couch in front of the window, staring at the bright moon outside the window, with complicated emotions surging in her heart.

The news of Li Gege's pregnancy resurfaced in her mind, making her feel envious and jealous. She sighed softly and whispered, "Li Gege is so lucky to be pregnant with the emperor's child."

Cui'er, the maidservant beside her, heard it clearly and advised carefully: "Master, you don't have to be too envious. You are talented and beautiful, and you will definitely have opportunities."

Niu Hulu Qingran turned her head slightly and looked at Cui'er, with a sly look in her eyes: "You are right, opportunities always come to those who are prepared." She had already figured out that Li Gege's pregnancy might not be a bad thing for her. At least, during the time when Li Gege was giving birth, she had more opportunities to get close to the emperor.

She thought of her observations of Wu Yazhixi over the past few days, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "That Wu Yazhixi is just a fool, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Cui Er didn't understand, so she could only nod and agree: "Yes, Master is wise."

Niu Hulu Qingran said no more. She stood up and said, "Cui'er, help me change my clothes and wash up."

Cui Er stepped forward and carefully took off her outer clothes and changed her into light pajamas. Niu Hulu Qingran stood quietly in front of the bronze mirror, looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, her heart full of determination.

"Master, you should rest early tonight." Cui'er said softly.

Niu Hulu Qingran nodded, walked to the bedside, sat down, and lay down gently. She closed her eyes, but she was thinking about tomorrow's plan in her mind. She wanted to get the opportunity to sleep with Yinzhen before Wu Yazhixi did, and she also wanted to get pregnant with Yinzhen's child before Li Gege gave birth. This was the key to changing her fate, and she had to grasp it.

As the night deepened, the lights in the palace gradually went out. Niu Hulu Qingran lay on the bed, quietly waiting for the arrival of the next day. Her heart was full of expectations and determination. She knew that as long as she was smart enough and worked hard enough, one day she would be able to stand at the top of the harem and control her own destiny.

……

As night fell, the moonlight gently fell on every corner of the Forbidden City, adding a bit of mystery and tranquility to this ancient palace. Yi Ya held Hong Hui's hand and returned to the main courtyard. Originally, according to the rules, Hong Hui should go back to his room to rest, but Yi Ya had other plans.

She thought that Yinzhen would definitely stay in Li Gege's courtyard tonight, which was a well-known secret in the palace. She didn't want Honghui to stay alone in the room, so she asked Honghui's wet nurse to take his things to her room.

"Nanny, please help Honghui bring the things to my room." Yi Ya said softly, with a hint of tenderness and care in her tone.

Upon hearing this, Nanny nodded and quickly walked into Honghui's bedroom to pack up. After hearing what his mother said, Honghui smiled happily.

"Mom, can I sleep with you?" he asked excitedly, with anticipation gleaming in his eyes.

Yi Ya looked at Hong Hui's happy expression and felt warm in her heart. She smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, you can sleep with your mother tonight."

After getting his mother's affirmative answer, Honghui jumped up happily. He ran to the room, urging the nanny to hurry up. After a while, the nanny followed with Honghui's luggage.

After washing up, the mother and son lay down on the bed side by side. Honghui lay in his mother's arms, feeling the long-lost intimacy and warmth. He thought of what happened at the banquet tonight and couldn't help but ask softly, "Mother, is Hongpan going to have a brother or sister?"

Yiya sighed softly. She knew that Honghui was a smart kid and could not hide many things from him. So she decided to be honest and said softly, "Yes, Hongpan will have a brother or sister soon, and they will be your brothers and sisters."

Honghui felt a little disappointed after hearing what his mother said. He hugged Yiya tightly and said, "Mother, I only want a brother or sister born by you."

Yi Ya was moved when she heard Honghui's words. She understood Honghui's reliance on her and his trust in her, and also understood his desire and expectation for a family. She patted Honghui's back silently without saying anything, but told him with her actions that she would always be by his side, protecting him and accompanying him as he grew up.

As the night deepened, the mother and son chatted in bed, enjoying this rare intimate time. In this palace full of intrigues and struggles, they found a piece of peace and warmth that belonged to them.
