Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

Emperor Kangxi was filled with joy after returning to the palace from Xiaotangshan. The green fields and the sweet potatoes and potatoes that grew well made him feel that this trip was fruitful. He knew that although the Manchus were famous for their horse riding and archery, the foundation of the country ultimately lay in the common people and the hard work of farming day after day and year after year. So he decided to let the princes experience the hardship of this kind of labor so that they would cherish their current life more.

He summoned Li Dequan and urgently ordered him: "Go to the prince's residence as soon as possible and tell all the princes that they will go to Xiaotangshan with Yinzhen tomorrow to dig sweet potatoes and potatoes together." Li Dequan knew Kangxi's intention very well, so after receiving the order, he hurried to the prince's residence.

In the prince's residence, the news was like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, causing quite a stir. Although the older princes had never worked in the field, they also understood the hardships of farm work. When they thought about following Yinzhen to dig potatoes and sweet potatoes, they felt a little uneasy. After all, Yinzhen's serious face was already well-known in their hearts.

The third prince was stunned when he heard that he had to do farm work. He then asked Li Dequan: "Does everyone have to go? But I am not cut out for farm work!"

Seeing the painful look on Third Prince's face, Li Dequan couldn't help but smile and said, "Third Prince, the Emperor said that all the princes must go. In fact, Third Prince, you don't have to worry so much. It's not that difficult, and there will be special people to guide you."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the Third Prince had no choice but to accept his fate.

The younger brothers were full of curiosity and anticipation. When Little Thirteen heard that he could go with his fourth brother, his eyes sparkled with excitement, as if he was full of energy. He couldn't wait to assure Li Dequan: "I will not be late, I will arrive on time tomorrow!" His words were full of determination and determination, showing his eager anticipation for this trip.

Little Fourteen was so excited that he jumped around in the room, shouting, "Great! Great! I can go out of the palace to play!" He didn't know what farm work to do, he just knew that he could go out of the palace to play.

Li Dequan looked at these young princes and could not help but feel deeply moved. He knew that Kangxi's intention was not just to let the princes experience the hardship of labor, but also to hope that they could understand the true meaning of life and learn to cherish and be grateful.

Afterwards, Li Dequan returned to the Qianqing Palace to report to Emperor Kangxi. At this time, Emperor Kangxi had already finished handling government affairs and sat on the dragon throne tired but satisfied. He looked up and saw Li Dequan, and quickly waved to Li Dequan to come over.

"Li Dequan, you are back." Emperor Kangxi said gently, "How do the princes react to this?"

Li Dequan smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, all the princes know about it."

After that, he described in detail the expressions of the princes he saw. He said that the older princes looked bitter after hearing the news, as if they were worried and anxious. However, the younger princes were very happy and almost jumped up.

After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi asked Li Dequan with a smile: "Is it Little Fourteen?" Li Dequan smiled and nodded and said yes.

Emperor Kangxi continued to ask about Xiao Shisan, and Li Dequan replied that Xiao Shisan was also quite excited and told himself that he would be there on time tomorrow.

Hearing this, Kangxi nodded and felt a little comforted. He hoped that his sons would understand his good intentions and that they also needed to work hard for the future of their country. He was deeply moved and decided to train these brothers well and let them become the future and hope of their country.

……

Kangxi's decree was like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, causing ripples in the prince's residence.

When Li Dequan left Kangxi's presence and brought this order to the ears of the princes, the news quickly spread in the palace and became the focus of private discussions among the concubines and princes in various palaces.

In Huifei's bedroom, when she heard Kangxi asking Yinzhen to take the princes to do farm work tomorrow, her face was solemn. She couldn't help but complain to the nanny beside her: "What does the emperor mean? Why do you want these princes to do the work of ordinary people? If the princes really want to experience life, the eldest prince, as the eldest son, should take the lead. When is it Yinzhen's turn?"

The nanny knew Concubine Hui's temperament very well and was afraid that her words would be heard by someone with ulterior motives and cause unnecessary trouble. She carefully advised: "Your Majesty, this is the Emperor's order, we can't say more. Please calm down and take care of yourself."

Although Concubine Hui was unwilling, she also knew that Nanny was right. She sighed and said nothing more, but the dissatisfaction in her heart was hard to dispel.

In Concubine Yi's bedroom, she was also worried about this matter. Her two sons had to do farm work every day, but they had been spoiled since childhood and had never done such rough work.

"How can their bodies bear it?" Concubine Yi said worriedly to the palace maids around her.

Seeing how worried Concubine Yi was, the palace maids around her spoke out to comfort her, "Don't worry, your majesty. The Fourth Prince is a sensible person. He will definitely take good care of the Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince."

Concubine Yi thought about it and felt that it made sense. Yinzhen had always been steady and handled things in an orderly manner. Her worries were slightly alleviated, but she still couldn't completely let go.

Finally, the news reached Concubine De. Concubine De's reaction was different from others. She was not worried about Yinzhen's trip to farm. In her opinion, Yinzhen was a smart and well-behaved prince, and she believed that he could handle everything. However, Concubine De was extremely worried about her youngest son, the Fourteenth Prince. He was still young and liked to play, so Concubine De was always worried.

She kept telling Aunt Ji about her worries: "Aunt Ji, you said that the Fourteenth Prince is still so young, how can he do such hard farm work? I'm really worried that he can't bear it."

Nanny Ji knew all too well what Concubine De was worried about, so she gently comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam. The Fourth Prince is here. He is the biological brother of the Fourteenth Prince, and he will definitely take good care of him."

"Mammy, what you said makes sense, but I'm still worried. Let Yinzhen come tomorrow so I can tell him a few things." Although Defei felt that what Mammy Ji said made sense, her worries were still hard to dispel. She decided to personally send them off early tomorrow morning and tell Yinzhen a few things to take good care of his brother.

That night, an unusual atmosphere permeated the palace. Mothers were worried about their sons, and the princes were discussing privately. They were all guessing what this farm trip would be like. However, no matter what the result was, this experience would become an unforgettable page in their lives.
