The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

“Father and my elder brother are in Ning’an Village. In a few days, sister, why don’t you and your younger sister go back to visit them?” Li Anqi said.

Upon hearing Li Anqi mention Li Miao and Ning Anzhuang, Li Baoqin felt as if her heart was blocked by a wad of cotton, and she was once again reminded of her own incompetence, which instantly made her somewhat angry.

Li Baoqin frowned and said coldly, "We'll talk about it later."

After saying that, he turned and left Fuying Garden without looking back.

"elder sister……"

Just as Li Anqi was about to say something more, Li Baoqin had already vanished without a trace.

Juru carried the brewed medicine back to Fuying Garden.

After feeding Li Anshu his medicine, Li Anqi instructed Juru to take good care of Li Anshu, picked up his fishing rod, and took Xiaoshunzi to Bifang Creek.

Li Anqi sat by the stream, fishing.

The goose nestled at her feet, quietly waiting for its delicious meal to be caught.

"I know you guard the gate for my sake, but the human world is too complicated. It's best not to stick your neck out in the future."

Li Anqi held a fishing rod in one hand and gently stroked the white feathers of a goose with the other, a tender smile playing on her lips.

"You just need to be a free, carefree goose that can eat and sleep well."

Free and carefree, able to eat and sleep well.

This is such a desirable wish for many people in the world. But it is so difficult to achieve.

The goose, with its eyes half-open, lazily stretched its neck and moved a little closer to Li Anqi, gently resting its neck on Li Anqi's knees for a short rest.

Before long, Li Anqi caught several small crucian carp and fed them all to the geese.

At some point, Eunuch Fan, who was serving Prince Xiao, arrived.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Fan has arrived," Xiao Shunzi reminded her.

Eunuch Fan bowed deeply and said, "This servant greets Lady Qi. Your Highness, the Prince has returned to the Prince's Palace and invited you to have dinner together at the Hui Palace last year."

Li Anqi did not turn around: "...I have already eaten and have no appetite now. Please trouble Eunuch Fan to convey to the Prince that I will not be going."

Eunuch Fan remained calm and said, "His Highness said that this is the first family reunion dinner after His Highness returned to the capital, and Lady Qi must come no matter what."

Li Anqi paused, patted the goose's head, and said to the goose, "You go back first."

The goose seemed to understand Li Anqi's words and ran back to Fuying Garden on its own.

Li Anqi calmly reeled in his fishing rod and handed it and the fish basket to Xiao Shunzi.

He then nodded slightly to Eunuch Fan and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

"This servant will lead the way for Your Highness."

Following in the footsteps of Eunuch Fan, Li Anqi passed through several gardens and rock formations, and several pavilions and towers, finally arriving at the Nianhui Hall where Prince Xiao resided.

This was the first time she had set foot in the residence of the Prince of Xiao.

The Hall of Inscriptions is grand and elegant, with bright lighting and a harmonious arrangement of various ornaments.

Li Anqi stepped through the palace gate and had only taken a few steps inside when he saw the Prince of Xiao, dressed in black, and Li Baoqin, dressed in red.

The round table in front of the two was laden with delicious food.

Six eunuchs stood to the side, lined up, each carrying a food tray to serve the two.

"Greetings to Your Highness and Sister." Li Anqi bowed respectfully.

Li Baoqin was taken aback when she saw Li Anqi suddenly appear.

A flicker of panic crossed her eyes: "Why are you here?!"

Prince Xiao did not look at Li Baoqin: "I sent her."

Eunuch Fan smiled and said, "Today is the auspicious day of His Highness's return to the capital, and the whole household should naturally celebrate! Not only the two ladies, but His Highness also sent someone to invite the Princess Consort. I wonder if the Princess Consort will come today."

Upon hearing this, Li Baoqin fell silent, forced to suppress her dissatisfaction.

Xiao Wang raised his eyes and looked at Li Anqi: "What are you standing there for? Come and sit down."

Li Anqi walked slowly to the table, chose an empty seat furthest away from the two of them, and sat down gently.

Li Baoqin grabbed Xiao Wang's arm with both hands, shook it from side to side, frowned and whispered, "Ling Luo, she is the murderer who killed our child. I don't want to eat with her."

Xiao Wang raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Baoqin.

“I have always been fair in my rewards and punishments. She served you in your courtyard for two months, and you have already let her go. So let’s consider this matter over.”

Seeing the indifference deep in Xiao Wang's eyes, Li Baoqin suddenly felt as if her heart was being pierced by needles.

Those are their children! How can he speak of them so lightly?

She paused for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Aren't you sad that our child is dead?"

The Prince of Xiao frowned: "Of course I'm sad, but it's all in the past. Neither you nor I should wallow in our misery."

Li Baoqin fell silent, lost in thought, and slowly lowered her eyes.

The eunuchs arranged the dishes and then stepped aside.

Eunuch Fan announced, "Your Highness, Your Highnesses, the dishes have been laid out. Please begin your meal."

Prince Xiao looked at Li Anqi: "Prince Xiao's residence is different from Jingguo's residence. You don't need to stand on ceremony in front of me."

Li Anqi stood up, knelt down respectfully, and said, "Yes."

The previously gentle expression on Xiao Wang's face suddenly turned cold.

Just then, a young eunuch carrying a bunch of St. John's wort came to the Hall of the Prince of Nianhui and knelt before him.

"Your Highness, Aunt Xianghui said that the Princess Consort is unwell and will not be able to gather at Hui Palace next year. The Princess Consort instructed Aunt Xianghui to give this bouquet of golden chrysanthemums and the poem to me, and to present it to Your Highness."

As he spoke, the young eunuch tucked the St. John's widow into his bosom and presented the poem with both hands.

Li Baoqin suddenly stood up, snatched the poem from the eunuch's hand, and quickly opened it.

"Summer grasses are fragrant with the scent of horseshoes, the setting sun on the southern cliff is heartbreakingly red..."

Seeing the slight change in Xiao Wang's expression, Li Baoqin's face also darkened with a few heavy clouds.

Xia Yixin is the real name of Princess Xiao. And the second half of the poem happens to contain the character "Luo," which is Ling Luo's name.

Li Anqi also noticed it.

This poem may be the princess describing the beautiful memories of riding horses with the prince across the grasslands, watching the sunset from the cliffs, and sharing their feelings for each other.

But if the princess still has feelings for Prince Xiao, why does she keep avoiding him and living like a ghost?

Li Anqi still couldn't figure it out.
