Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

In the quiet of Qingxi Book House, Emperor Kangxi sat at his desk, flipping through memorials, frowning, thinking about state affairs. Suddenly, Li Dequan hurried in, breaking the silence.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yi Ya and the third Concubine Dong E went out of the city yesterday to distribute porridge and help many people." Li Dequan's tone revealed his admiration for the two concubines.

Hearing this, Kangxi stopped what he was doing, looked up at Li Dequan, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. "The women from the third and fourth wives are both kind-hearted and righteous women. It is rare that they can sympathize with the people and personally distribute porridge." Kangxi nodded in praise, expressing his affirmation of the good deeds of the two wives.

Li Dequan stood aside, feeling happy for the two wives' kindness. He knew very well that Emperor Kangxi cared for the people, and his admiration for the two wives was from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, another thought flashed through Kangxi's mind. He remembered the high-yield crops planted by Yiya's second brother Fuchang, which once brought hope of a good harvest to the capital. He immediately turned to Li Dequan and asked, "Li Dequan, have you ever asked Fuchang how his high-yield crops are growing now? How much has he harvested?"

When Li Dequan heard Kangxi mention high-yield crops, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the high-yield crops that Master Fuchang planted are growing well, and he has already harvested a good batch of grain. Moreover, he has distributed those crops as grain seeds to farmers in the capital, and now he has harvested another batch."

Kangxi was overjoyed when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face. "That's great! This way, our food reserves will be more abundant. Li Dequan, you immediately tell the third prince Yinzhi to collect the food and send it to Shengjing as soon as possible to relieve the urgent need there." Kangxi gave the order decisively, his tone full of care and responsibility for the people.

Li Dequan took the order and left, while Kangxi continued to sit at his desk, full of expectations. He knew that these grains would bring hope and vitality to the people of Shengjing, and behind this was the selfless dedication and responsibility of Yi Ya and his family.

The third prince Yinzhi was sitting in the study, holding the imperial edict of Emperor Kangxi in his hand. A flash of surprise flashed across his face, and then turned into joy. He stood up, patted the table lightly, and decided to go to the residence of the third wife immediately.

"Fujin." Yinzhi walked into the room and saw Dong E embroidering, so he called softly.

Dong E looked up and saw that it was Yinzhi, so she put down her needlework and asked, "Master, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Yinzhi walked up to Dong E and whispered, "I just received an order from the Emperor, asking me to go to Shengjing immediately."

Dong E frowned slightly when she heard this: "Shengjing? Why do you want to go there suddenly?"

Yinzhi nodded, his expression somewhat solemn: "I don't know the reason either. The Emperor's decree did not specify it."

Dong E pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Is it because the emperor found out that Yi Ya and I went to give out porridge to save people yesterday, so he sent you to Shengjing to assist the fourth prince?"

Yinzhi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "It's very likely. The Emperor has always valued our good deeds."

Dong E stood up, walked to Yinzhi, held his hand, and said softly: "Master, no matter where you go, I will support you. Don't worry, I will prepare everything you need."

Yinzhi looked at Dong E with gratitude, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that having such a wife who understood and supported him was the greatest luck in his life.

"Thank you, Fu Jin." Yinzhi gently held Dong E's hand, his eyes full of gratitude.

Dong E smiled slightly and said softly, "You and I are husband and wife, so why bother thanking me. Please go and come back soon. The children and I will be waiting for you at home."

Yinzhi nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination: "I will be back as soon as possible. You should also take good care of yourself and the children at home."

After saying this, Yinzhi turned and left the room, embarking on a journey to Shengjing. He knew that although this journey was full of unknowns and challenges, with the support of Dong E and the trust of Emperor Kangxi, he would be able to complete his mission and live up to the trust.

……

At lightning speed, the third prince Yinzhi rode at full speed and finally arrived in Shengjing. He met Yinzhen in a chaotic and anxious atmosphere, both of them were covered in dust and looked nervous.

Yinzhi pulled the reins, jumped off the horse, and said to Yinzhen breathlessly: "Fourth brother, I am here to help you on the orders of the Emperor."

A trace of relief flashed in Yinzhen's eyes. He patted Yinzhi on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, your arrival is really a timely help. The situation in Shengjing... is far worse than I imagined."

Yinzhi nodded, motioning for Yinzhen to continue. Yinzhen took a deep breath, his voice heavy, "I thought the supplies I brought were enough, but now it seems that they are far from enough. The people have not harvested any crops, many elderly people and children are starving, and many people have fallen ill due to hunger and disease."

After hearing this, Yinzhi frowned and said, "I came here this time with the high-yield crops grown in Fuchang and some medicinal herbs, which I think can help solve the crisis in Shengjing."

He looked around and saw that the streets and alleys were full of tired and haggard people. He couldn't help but feel a strong sense of responsibility. He turned to Yinzhen and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Fourth brother, you should go and have a rest first. Looking at your appearance, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on if you continue like this. Let me take care of things here."

Yinzhen looked at Yinzhi's determined eyes and knew that he really needed to rest. He nodded, his voice a little hoarse: "Okay, Third Brother, I'll leave it to you."

Later, accompanied by Su Peisheng, Yinzhen returned to his residence and fell exhausted on the bed. He knew that he had to recover his strength as soon as possible so that he could continue to work for the people.

Yinzhi took over Yinzhen's burden and started to get busy. He quickly organized manpower and allocated materials to ensure that every piece of food and medicine could be delivered to the people who needed it most in time. Under his leadership, order in Shengjing was gradually restored and the disaster was effectively controlled.

A few days later, when Yinzhen walked out of the room again, Shengjing was no longer the chaotic and panic-stricken city. People in the streets and alleys began to smile, and life gradually returned to normal.

Yinzhen looked at all this with gratitude in his heart. He knew that all this was inseparable from Yinzhi's hard work and selfless dedication. He walked to Yinzhi and bowed deeply: "Third brother, thank you."

Yinzhi smiled and patted Yinzhen on the shoulder: "We are brothers, this is what I should do."

The two smiled at each other. They fought side by side, faced difficulties together, and became each other's strongest support.
