Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

The sky was turning slightly pale, and the morning light fell softly on the Fourth Prince's Mansion like fine sand.

Yinzhen woke up early. He was dressed in simple clothes and stood quietly in front of the window, with a firm and extraordinary temperament between his eyebrows. Today, he had a special task - to lead the young princes to Xiaotangshan to experience the hardships of labor.

Afterwards, Yinzhen went to the palace.

Last night, Yinzhen received a message from Concubine De, asking him to go there today as she had something to tell him.

Entering Yonghe Palace, Yinzhen first bowed to Concubine De and greeted her. Concubine De was sitting on a soft couch with a gentle expression. She waved her hand, indicating that Yinzhen did not need to bow.

Yinzhen walked up, sat next to Concubine De, and asked softly, "Mother, why did you summon me here? What's the important matter?"

De Fei nodded and said softly, "Today you and Little Fourteen are going to work in the fields together. I know you are steady, so I specially called you here to give you some instructions."

"You have always been the child I trust the most. I know you can do well. You are still young at fourteen and have a strong desire to play. As an older brother, you need to take on more responsibilities."

Yinzhen understood, and after thinking for a while, he promised solemnly: "Don't worry, mother, Fourteenth Brother is still young, and as his elder brother, I will take good care of him. If he is naughty, I will discipline him."

After hearing this, Defei's eyes flashed with satisfaction. She knew Yinzhen was a steady and reliable person, and he was also very caring towards his brothers. So she nodded with confidence and said, "That's great. You can go, don't let the other brothers wait too long."

Yinzhen stood up and saluted Defei again. "Take care, your majesty. I'll take my leave." After saying that, he turned and left Yonghe Palace, heading for the prince's residence.

On the way to the prince's residence, Yinzhen had a lot of thoughts. He knew that today's farm work would be a big challenge for the fourteenth prince, but he also believed that under his leadership, the fourteenth prince would be able to complete the task smoothly. He thought about how to arrange the fourteenth prince's work and how to let him learn and grow in practice.

……

Soon, Yinzhen arrived at the prince's residence. He saw that the other princes had already arrived and were waiting for his arrival. He smiled slightly and walked over to greet them. Then, he turned and looked at the fourteenth prince, his eyes full of warmth and love. He knew that from today on, they would face the challenges of life together and write their deep brotherhood together.

"It's getting late, everyone should get up." Yinzhen turned around and spoke gently but firmly to the princes who were still sleeping.

Some of the younger princes could not open their eyes, but after hearing Yinzhen's words, they all struggled to get out of bed. Although they were young, under Yinzhen's encouragement, they all showed rare perseverance and courage.

Everyone came to the courtyard, where a carriage had been waiting for a long time. The sound of the wheels rolling broke the tranquility of the early morning, and the carriage slowly drove towards Xiaotangshan. The sun gradually rose, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on the fields, as if covering the earth with a layer of golden coat.

Yinzhen and the other princes got off the carriage and stepped onto the field full of vitality.

Yinzhen stood in front of the sweet potato field, and the vibrant green in front of him made him happy. He knew that today he and everyone else would experience a different kind of labor together.

"Fourth brother, what is this?" The voice of the third prince Yinzhi broke the silence. He pointed at the sweet potato vines, his face full of curiosity.

Yinzhen turned around and looked at Yinzhi, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that the third prince, who usually lived a life of luxury in the palace, would be so interested in this sweet potato field.

"This is sweet potato, also known as yam." Yinzhen explained patiently, "It is a high-yield crop, easy to plant, and grows quickly. It is a new crop."

Yinzhi stared at the plant in front of him with wide eyes. "I have never seen such a magical crop before." He exclaimed.

Yinzhen smiled and said nothing more. He knew that such crops might be novel to the princes in the palace. But he also understood that this sweet potato field meant a year's livelihood and hope for the local people.

"Today, our mission is to harvest the sweet potatoes in this sweet potato field." Yinzhen pointed at the sweet potato field and said firmly, "However, the sweet potato vines on the ground have not been cut yet, so the first thing we need to do is cut the vines."

He turned around and said to everyone, "I have prepared a sickle for everyone. Be careful when cutting the vines and don't hurt yourself."

"This is your first time working, so don't be too impatient. Take your time." Yinzhen encouraged everyone, his voice full of warm power.

Everyone nodded and took the sickle handed over by Yinzhen. Although they were all princes in the palace, they did not complain or back down at this moment. Everyone was serious and expectant.

Seeing this, Yinzhen nodded with satisfaction. He took the lead and walked into the sweet potato field and began to cut the sweet potato vines. Everyone followed closely behind him, and for a while, the sound of sickles rang out in the sweet potato field.

As the sweet potato vines fell, the sweet potatoes hidden inside gradually revealed their true appearance. They were big or small, in various shapes, but each one was full of vitality.

Then, they took farm tools in their hands and prepared to start digging sweet potatoes.

"Fourth brother, hurry up! I can't wait!" Little Fourteen waved the hoe in his hand excitedly, and the other brothers were also eager to try.

At first, the young princes seemed a little unfamiliar with the farm tools in their hands, and they often bumped against the ground, splashing dust. But they did not get discouraged, but humbly asked Yinzhen for advice, and kept trying and exploring.

As time went by, they gradually mastered the skills of working, and became more and more skilled in using the farm tools. They worked faster and faster, as if they had integrated into the field and were in close contact with nature.

Sweat soaked their clothes and flowed down their faces, but they did not stop to rest. The joy of being close to nature made them forget their fatigue.

"Look, I dug up a big sweet potato!" a little boy shouted excitedly, the sweet potato in his hand was large and plump.

"I dug one too!" Another young prince showed off his achievements, not wanting to be outdone.

However, as time went by, the sun gradually rose and became hotter. Sweat soaked the clothes of the princes and stuck to their faces, making them feel hot and unbearable.

"I'm really tired. My hands are all worn out." The Tenth Prince Yin said while panting.

"Yeah, the sun is too strong. I'm about to get a heat stroke." Little Fourteen also echoed and said to Yinzhen, "Fourth brother, fourth brother, I don't want to do this anymore. This is not fun at all. I want to go back to the palace and find my mother."

Yinzhen noticed that everyone was beginning to look tired, and he thought that if this continued, someone might get hurt. So he stopped what he was doing and said to everyone, "Okay, I see everyone is tired, let's take a break first."

When Xiao Shisi heard this, he immediately put down his hoe, and the other brothers also stopped working. They walked under a big tree, away from the sun, breathing heavily, and enjoying a moment of peace.

"Farm work is extremely hard." Fifth Prince Yinqi sighed.

"Yes, we have never done anything like this before." The Seventh Prince also agreed.

"It's so hot. The sun is killing me." Little Fourteen said, panting.

"Yeah, I thought digging potatoes and sweet potatoes would be fun, but I didn't expect it to be so hard." Xiao Shisan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile.

Everyone was talking and resting like this.
