Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

With the midwife's work over, Yi Ya finally welcomed the day of her little prince's third bath. In the morning of that day, Yin Zhen was busy in the front yard, entertaining the guests who came one after another. Yi Ya lay on the bed in the main yard, watching Wang Ma and several maids busy putting new clothes on the little prince and dressing him up beautifully.

At this time, there was a burst of laughter outside the house, attracting everyone's attention. The third wife, Dong E, came in with her little prince Hongchun. Dong E saw Yi Ya on the bed at a glance, and she walked forward with a smile on her face and said, "Fourth brother's wife, congratulations, you finally got what you wanted."

Yi Ya smiled slightly and responded gratefully: "Thank you, third sister-in-law, for coming to congratulate me. I am also happy for myself." As she spoke, her gaze turned to Hongchun in Dong E's arms, her eyes full of love.

Upon seeing this, Dong E pointed at the little prince in Nanny Wang's arms and said to Hongchun, "Chun'er, look, this is your younger brother. You must protect him well in the future." Although Hongchun was only a few months old and did not understand what a younger brother was, he felt the joy of his mother and everyone else and couldn't help giggling.

Yi Ya looked at Hong Chun's carefree smile, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She hoped that her children would be as happy, innocent, and carefree as Hong Chun in the future.

Just as everyone was immersed in this warm atmosphere, Dong E suddenly remembered something and her expression became serious. She said to Yi Ya, "Fourth sister-in-law, I know something happened during your delivery. I also heard about it. I want to tell you that the people in this mansion still need to be more closely watched, and we can't let those with ulterior motives bully the master."

After hearing this, Yi Ya felt grateful. She knew that Dong E was concerned about her and reminded her to be careful. She nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law, I understand. Now that Yinzhen has dealt with those things, I think other people in the mansion should be more alert."

After hearing this, Dong E nodded in agreement. She knew that Yi Ya was a smart and sensible woman who would handle these matters well. She patted the back of Yi Ya's hand and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, you must be more careful. Things in this mansion are complicated and changeable. But as long as you remain vigilant and firm in your faith, you will be able to protect yourself and your children."

After hearing this, Yi Ya became more resolute in her belief. She knew that in this complicated palace, she needed to be more cautious and not let anyone hurt her children and herself. She looked at Dong E with gratitude and said, "Thank you for your reminder and concern, sister-in-law. I will remember it."

The two smiled at each other, as if all their worries and troubles disappeared at this moment.

……

The sunlight shines through the exquisite lattice windows and onto the front yard of Yinzhen's residence. The golden sunlight adds a bit of warmth to this festive day. Yinzhen, dressed in exquisite casual clothes, is busy shuttling between the guests, with a decent smile on his face, and warmly greeting every guest.

"Fourth Master, today is such a joyous day with so many guests here!" A burly official came forward, bowed and greeted Yinzhen.

Yinzhen smiled back and said modestly, "Thank you very much. It is an honor for me that you gentlemen have come here."

Just as Yinzhen was greeting the guests, the housekeeper of the mansion came hurriedly and whispered in Yinzhen's ear: "Master, everyone is here, we can start now."

Yinzhen nodded, turned to the crowd, and said loudly: "Everyone, today is the day of my son's third bath. Thank you for coming to join us."

Everyone congratulated him with a bow and exclaimed in admiration. At this moment, a nurse appeared in everyone's sight, holding the tightly wrapped eldest prince. The little guy's face was flushed, and his big black eyes looked around curiously, looking very cute.

"Oh, this child is so well-behaved and cute. You can tell at first glance that he has a blessed face!" A noble lady came forward, stretched out her fingers and gently pinched the eldest prince's face, her eyes full of love.

"Yes, yes, the Fourth Master and his wife are so blessed!" another official echoed.

Yinzhen and Yiya's faces were filled with happy smiles, and they humbly accepted everyone's blessings. Just as everyone was immersed in joy, a eunuch from the palace hurried over with an exquisite gift box in his hand.

"Fourth Prince, congratulations! The Emperor learned that today is the young prince's third baptism, so he specially sent me here to deliver a gift." The eunuch saluted respectfully to Yinzhen and presented the gift box.

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen hurried forward to take the gift box, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that this gift not only represented the emperor's favor, but also the affirmation of the entire Yinzhen Mansion. He signaled Su Peisheng to give the eunuch a reward, and then carefully opened the gift box. Inside was a glittering golden necklace inlaid with gems, dazzling and dazzling.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Yinzhen knelt down to express his gratitude, his heart filled with gratitude.

The eunuch smiled and helped Yinzhen up, saying, "The emperor also gave the little prince a name, Honghui."

"Honghui?" Yinzhen repeated the name, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He knew that this name meant brightness and a bright future, and was the emperor's best wishes for the little prince.

At this moment, another palace maid stepped forward and saluted, saying, "May the Fourth Master be healthy and well! The Empress Defei has also prepared a gift for the young prince." As she spoke, she presented an equally exquisite gift box.

Yinzhen expressed his gratitude again and signaled Su Peisheng to accept the gift. He knew that this gift also represented the love and blessing of other ladies in the palace. He would cherish this hard-earned blessing and carefully raise the eldest prince to grow into a talented and virtuous person.

With the end of the three-washing ceremony and the delivery of the palace gifts, the celebration was gradually coming to an end. Yinzhen sent off the last guest with a smile on his face, his heart full of joy and gratitude.

……

The sunlight slanted onto the bluestone floor tiles in the main courtyard, casting mottled light and shadows. Yi Ya was lying on the bed in the main courtyard.

Ever since she learned that Emperor Kangxi had given the little prince the name "Honghui", her heart was filled with gratitude and a firm determination.

"Madame Wang, where is Honghui? I want to see him." Yi Ya asked softly.

Nanny Wang stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Fujin, the little prince has just finished the three-washing ceremony and is now with the nurse. I will go and bring him over to you."

Soon, Nanny Wang came in, holding Honghui, who was wrapped tightly. The little guy's face still showed satisfaction and comfort after the baptism, and his big black eyes looked around curiously.

"Honghui, Honghui." Yiya called softly, her eyes full of maternal love and tenderness. She gently teased Honghui's little hand, with a happy smile on her lips.

"Mammy, what do you think of this name given by the emperor?" Yi Ya looked up and asked Mammy Wang beside her.

Upon hearing this, Nanny Wang immediately agreed, "Fujin, the name the emperor gave is of course excellent. The word Honghui means brightness and hope. The emperor has high hopes for the little prince."

After hearing this, Yi Ya was even more moved. She gently stroked Honghui's little face and said softly: "Honghui, you must grow up healthy and happy. Mother will do her best to protect you and give you a carefree childhood."

Although Honghui couldn't speak yet, his eyes seemed to be shining with joy and dependence. He snuggled in Yiya's arms, his small body exuding a sense of warmth and peace of mind.

Yiya took a deep breath, feeling the happiness and responsibility brought by Honghui. She knew that in this life, she should not only be a good mother, but also pave a bright future for Honghui. No matter how many difficulties and challenges there are ahead, she will go forward firmly, because her Honghui needs her, and her world is complete because of Honghui.
