The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

Ling Ye went to visit the god for a while.

Seeing that the reins had been loosened, the horse under his crotch lifted its hooves and took two steps forward.

Ling Ye then came to his senses, pulled on the reins to turn the horse around, and returned it to the starting line.

Li Anqi raised a round fan to cover his slightly flushed face.

"Miss, look, that's Young Master Wei from the Imperial Censor's residence. He's on very good terms with Prince Xiao. And that one is the second son of the Left Prime Minister..."

Zhilan wanted to introduce other young noblemen who were participating in the horse racing competition to Li Anqi, but Li Anqi had no interest in listening anymore.

"Alright, Auntie, just relax and watch Big Brother's game."

Zhilan, composed and gentle, replied, "Yes."

Upon hearing Li Anqi's voice, Li Baoqin frowned and turned around.

Seeing that she looked wary of him, Li Anqi said, "Sister, there's no need to be so formal. I'm here to cheer on my brother."

"Tch, I don't need your pretense. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were here to choose a husband!"

Upon hearing Li Baoqin's words, Bao Qiao closed her eyes and slapped her forehead, unable to express her bitterness.

"Your younger sister doesn't understand what your older sister is saying. You must be careful with your words and actions, and don't tarnish your reputation in public," Li Anqi said.

It seems that Li Baoqin doesn't understand how important a woman's reputation is in this era.

Bao Qiao cast a fair glance at Li Anqi.

"So what if it's tainted? I don't care! And I'm not going to live my life according to other people's opinions!"

Li Baoqin continued aggressively.

"How I am is my own business, and it's none of anyone else's business! You have even less right to interfere!"

Li Anqi shook his head inwardly.

It seems that everything I said to her in the back garden last time was for nothing.

"It was my sister who was too talkative. Sister, just relax and watch the game. It's about to start," Li Anqi said dismissively.

The expected malicious attacks did not materialize.

Li Baoqin, who was about to let out a sigh of relief, swallowed it back down.

The horn sounded.

On the racetrack, a dozen or so powerful horses, fully prepared, galloped forward simultaneously.

In an instant, hooves flew, riders moved with graceful style, and cheers erupted from the stands, bringing the entire racetrack to a fever pitch of excitement.

Xiao Wang's black steed galloped ahead of the pack, while Ling Ye's white steed and Li Anxiu's Wumei Treading Snow were neck and neck, closely following behind.

After a fierce competition.

Xiao Wang undoubtedly won first place, while Ling Ye and Li Anxiu took second and third place respectively.

Cheers erupted from the crowd.

Ling Ye smiled and clapped his fists with Li Anxiu, then walked towards Ling Luo, the Prince of Xiao, who was waiting ahead. After the two met, they walked out of the arena side by side.

"Miss, the time has come."

Zhilan reminded Li Anqi.

Li Anqi nodded, got up and left.

"It seems that my elder brother has a very good relationship with the Ninth Prince," Li Anqi said to Zhilan in the sedan chair on the way back.

"Ninth Prince is a charming and carefree man, and is known throughout the capital for his good relationships. When the palace was on fire, it was Ninth Prince's birth mother, Consort Hui, who risked her life to save the eight-year-old Prince Xiao from the flames. Prince Xiao remembers this kindness and has always been on good terms with Ninth Prince. The two are as close as can be."

Li Anqi lowered his head and didn't ask any more questions.

After the ritual at Qingyun Temple, the New Year celebrations were finally over.

With the old lady's sixtieth birthday approaching, Li Miao began making arrangements six months in advance, planning to build a new stage at Xiangyu Building in the northeast corner of Jingguo Mansion.

The servants in the mansion were either removing couplets or putting away lanterns.

Li Anqi has also resumed his normal life.

That day, Song, the old nanny from Madam Zhao's room, suddenly came to Li Anqi's courtyard.

Zhilan hurriedly greeted her politely, "Granny Song, what brings you here?"

"This old servant has come to deliver the second young lady's monthly allowance." Granny Song said with a gentle smile as she stepped across the threshold.

"Please sit down, Granny, and have some tea to quench your thirst."

After Li An finished speaking, Liu Yun brought a stool for Granny Song, and Qiu Yue served the tea she had brewed to Granny Song.

"Thank you, Miss Second."

Granny Song handed the monthly allowance to Zhilan, took the tea tray from Qiuyue, skimmed off the tea foam with the lid, and took a sip.

"Isn't Pei'er usually the one who does these errands? Why did Granny Song come in person today?" Li Anqi asked.

Pei'er was a maidservant by Madam Zhao's side, and in the past, Pei'er was the only one who delivered the monthly allowance.

Granny Song put down her teacup and said with regret, "Ever since the Second Miss fell into the water last time, Madam has realized that all her good intentions have backfired, and she has developed some estrangement with the Second Miss. The mother and daughter are not as close as before."

Li Anqi disagreed.

Madam Zhao treated the Li Anqi and Li Anshu sisters very casually, so there was no question of any closeness between them.

"That's why Madam instructed me to give the Second Miss an extra two taels of silver per month from now on, and I will deliver it to her myself, in the hope of making up for the Second Miss's loss."

Li Anqi hesitated.

Originally, the young masters and ladies of the Jingguo Mansion all received two taels of silver per month, but now only I have received four taels. I'm afraid...

"I hope the Second Miss will not refuse. Madam's love for her daughter is pure and simple. If the Second Miss does not accept, this old servant will have no face to go back to see Madam. I might as well just kill myself!"

Song Mama's eyes were filled with tears.

"Please don't say that, Granny... Thank you very much, Madam."

After Li Anqi finished speaking, he instructed Qiuyue to fetch three hundred coins.

"Thank you for your hard work, Granny. Take this money and buy some wine," Li Anqi said, and Qiuyue handed over the copper coins.

A hint of surprise flashed in Granny Song's eyes, then she smiled and accepted the copper coins.

"Thank you, Miss Second."

After seeing Granny Song off, Zhilan suddenly noticed that Granny Song's personal handkerchief had fallen to the ground.

Zhilan informed Li Anqi and went to find Granny Song to return the handkerchief.

After the outsiders left, Liu Yun couldn't help but sigh, "From now on, the monthly allowance will be doubled! It seems that Madam truly dotes on the Second Miss!"

Qiuyue disagreed and cautiously said, "Perhaps... this may not be a good thing."

Li Anqi looked at Qiuyue, smiled but did not speak.
