Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the path in the front yard of the palace, paving a golden road. Yuanbao walked briskly along the path, and his footsteps echoed in the empty main courtyard, breaking the tranquility of the afternoon.

He walked through the winding corridors with a joy in his heart, which was the relief and satisfaction after completing the task.

After pushing the door open, Yuanbao saw Yiya sitting by the window quietly embroidering. The sunlight shone through the window lattice, shining on her exquisite embroidery, making her look even more gentle and lovely.

He hurried forward, bowed respectfully and said, "Fujin, I am back."

Upon hearing this, Yi Ya stopped sewing, looked up at Yuan Bao, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes.

She asked softly, "Yuanbao, how is it going?"

Yuanbao's face was immediately filled with pride, and he replied excitedly: "Madam, I have handed the list to the Fourth Master. The Fourth Master said that he would come to get it in the evening."

"Master is coming tonight?" Yi Ya raised her eyebrows in surprise, and the needlework in her hands stopped temporarily.

An inexplicable emotion surged in her heart, including confusion about Yinzhen's sudden decision, as well as a hint of anticipation and nervousness.

Yuan Bao nodded and continued, "Yes, Fu Jin. The Fourth Master also specifically told me to ask you to prepare well."

After hearing this, Yi Ya was even more confused. Although she didn't know Yinzhen's intention, she still tried to remain calm.

She nodded gently and said to Yuanbao: "I know, you did a good job."

After she finished speaking, she turned to Nanny Wang who was standing by the side and said, "Nanny Wang, show Yuan Bao the reward."

Nanny Wang responded, took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and handed it to Yuanbao, who happily took it with a satisfied smile on his face.

He quickly bowed and said gratefully, "Thank you, Madam Wang!"

Yuanbao happily turned around and left the room, leaving Yiya and Nanny Wang alone. Yiya looked at Yuanbao's cheerful back and shook her head helplessly, but she couldn't help but wonder why Yinzhen came tonight.

……

Yi Ya sat at the table, playing with a warm jade pendant in her hand, but her thoughts drifted to the coming night. She remembered Yuan Bao's words that Yin Zhen would come over tonight, and she couldn't help but feel a slight headache.

"Madame Wang." Yi Ya called softly, her voice mixed with a hint of anxiety and uneasiness.

"Fujin, what do you want?" Nanny Wang's voice came immediately, her footsteps were brisk and steady, and she soon walked in front of Yi Ya. Nanny Wang had a concerned smile on her face, she knew her own Fujin's delicate thoughts very well.

Yi Ya took a deep breath, trying to suppress the irritation in her heart. She slowly said, "Mammy, Yuan Bao just said that Master will come over tonight."

After hearing this, Nanny Wang's smile remained unchanged, as if she had expected this. She nodded gently and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I will make proper arrangements."

Yi Ya looked at Nanny Wang's calm appearance, and the tension in her heart eased a little.

She nodded gently and continued, "You know my master's temper. He likes quietness and doesn't like complicated etiquette. You can do whatever you want and try to make him feel comfortable."

Nanny Wang smiled and responded, "Don't worry, Fu Jin, I will do as you command."

After saying that, she turned around and walked out, and began to prepare busily. She knew that although the task tonight was heavy, as long as it was carried out in an orderly manner, it would surely satisfy Yinzhen.

Yi Ya watched Nanny Wang leave, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. This old Nanny who had been with her for many years was always able to give her support and help at critical moments.

She sighed softly, put down the jade pendant in her hand, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the moonlight outside, silently praying for peace and success tonight.

As the night deepened, the lights in the palace gradually lit up. Nanny Wang's busy figure shuttled through the night. She ordered the maids to prepare tea and snacks, and personally checked every corner of the room to make sure everything was in order. She knew that although Yinzhen liked quietness, he had extremely high requirements for details.
