The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating
Chapter 103 The stars hold the moon
Li Baoqin's expression suddenly changed, and she looked abruptly at Li Anqi, her eyes filled with worry.
After a while of silence.
Li Baoqin called Cuihong over with a complicated expression.
"Go back and prepare a few boxes of things to take to Ning'an Village tomorrow."
"The Li family was recently raided and is now the target of public criticism. They must not be too high-profile," said Prince Xiao.
Li Baoqin paused, nodded, and said to Cuihong, "You only need to take the rosewood box that I use to store my jewelry."
Cuihong nodded and said, "Yes."
The next day.
Li Anqi and Li Baoqin rode in the same carriage and set off for Ning'an Village.
The two sat in the sedan chair in silence.
The day before, Xiao Shunzi went to Ning'an Village early to deliver the message.
When Li Anqi and Li Baoqin's carriage arrived at the stone archway of Ning'an Manor, Li Miao and his entourage had already been waiting there for a long time.
"Father, big brother!"
Li Baoqin lifted her skirt, hurriedly ran down from the carriage, and went forward to hug Li Miao.
Li Miao seemed a little uncomfortable with Li Baoqin's excessive intimacy, his posture appeared somewhat stiff, but he still had a smile on his face.
Li Baoqin frowned and cautiously looked at Li Anxiu, who was sitting in a wheelchair.
He still looks like the same elegant gentleman he always was, but for some reason, he now gives people the impression of being weak and fragile.
Li Anxiu and Li Baoqin smiled slightly.
Li Baoqin glanced at the wheelchair he was sitting in, assuming it was a product of the times, and didn't ask any further questions.
"Qin'er! Father and Xiu'er have always missed you!" Li Miao spoke from the bottom of his heart, and at the end, a few tears welled up in his eyes.
On the other side, Li Anqi slowly lifted the carriage curtain.
Upon seeing Li Anqi appear, the others' eyes lit up, and they crowded around the carriage.
"Your Majesty!" Qiu Yue's sorrowful eyes brightened with a hint of joy.
"Second sister! You've come!" Li Ancai's smile was clean and sweet.
"Mm." Li Anqi smiled and nodded at the two of them.
Zuo Siyun smiled and reached out her hand to help Li Anqi down from the carriage: "Your Highness, please be careful and slow down."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Your Majesty." Aunt Xia embraced Li Anhua and smiled at Li Anqi.
Li Anqi approached Aunt Xia with a gentle and dignified smile. She took Li Anhua's hand, looked him up and down, and exchanged pleasantries.
"I didn't have a chance to take a good look at her a few days ago, but now that I look closely, my fourth sister has grown into a graceful young lady, and she's starting to look like a young lady."
Aunt Xia seemed to realize something, her smile changed slightly, and she nodded in agreement.
Li Anhua blushed and lowered her head, one hand pressed against her cheek, her eyes filled with shyness.
Li Anxiu's gaze unconsciously shifted to Li Anqi.
Li Baoqin could naturally sense the liveliness around Li Anqi and the desolation around her.
She suppressed her displeasure, stared intently at Li Anxiu, squatted down on the right side of the wheelchair, and asked with teary eyes.
"Brother, what happened to your leg?"
A flicker of pain suddenly flashed in Li Anxiu's eyes.
He looked at Li Baoqin again, his gaze unfocused and flickering, his slightly furrowed brows suggesting he was restraining something.
Li Baoqin had a vague feeling that Li Anxiu in front of her seemed different from before.
Finally, Li Anxiu lowered his head slightly, forced a bitter smile, and chose to remain silent.
Seeing Li Anxiu like this.
Li Baoqin finally realized that Li Anqi was probably telling the truth.
Her older brother may spend his entire life in a wheelchair, becoming a disabled person.
Li Baoqin stood up and wiped away her tears: "I'll go find Physician Guo to treat you!"
“No need!” Li Anxiu said.
Li Anqi has already secretly invited Physician Guo to treat him. If Li Baoqin goes to invite him again, it will probably cause trouble for Physician Guo.
“My father has called a doctor, and he is already receiving treatment,” Li Anxiu added.
Surrounded by the crowd, Li Anqi slowly walked up to Li Anxiu.
Li Anxiu looked up and gave Li Anqi a warm smile, which was kind and sincere.
Li Baoqin seemed to be stung by that smile, and her brows suddenly furrowed.
She looked at Li Anqi, who was surrounded by admirers, and felt even more troubled.
"Siyun personally cooked today to entertain the two ladies," Li Anxiu said to Li Anqi.
Li Anqi smiled at Zuo Siyun: "It's rare for my sister-in-law to cook herself, so my sister and I must have a good taste."
"Let's go, Qin'er, the food's getting cold." Li Miao said to Li Baoqin with a smile, then turned to the others and said, "Empress Qin is back, let's have a proper reunion dinner today!"
At Li Miao's signal, a group of people, surrounded by servants, entered the main hall of Ning'an Manor in a grand procession.
Li Anqi stopped in his tracks, watching Li Miao's overjoyed figure as he invited Li Baoqin into the house, a hint of disappointment unconsciously welling up in his eyes.
Although there were no delicacies, the dishes on the round table were still delicious and appealing.
The Jingguo Mansion had already fallen into ruin, but Li Miao still followed the old rules, insisting on not speaking while eating or sleeping.
Only after everyone finished eating did they dare to start talking about everyday things.
"The dishes my sister-in-law made are truly amazing. I didn't realize until today that your cooking skills are so superb," Li Anqi said.
Zuo Siyun smiled and said, "When my mother was alive, she traveled to Jiangnan and learned some skills from a master at Baiqiong Tower. When I was young, I was also a glutton and learned some basic skills from my mother."
Li Anqi smiled slightly: "Baiqionglou is known as the number one restaurant in Jiangnan. It is not only elegant and unique, but also has first-class wines and delicacies. No wonder your cooking is so delicious. You are truly amazing when you make a name for yourself."
Zuo Siyun smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty flatters me."
Li Baoqin was already unhappy, and now she couldn't stand seeing the two of them so intimate.
She glanced at him sideways, her tone sarcastic: "You really know how to flatter. Now you've even won over your sister-in-law, you must be secretly thrilled!"
