The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

A hint of doubt arose in Li Anqi's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

Because she simply couldn't imagine what kind of power or benefits she, a concubine's daughter with no background, could bring to him.

"Despite the constant stream of invitations, Hao Ge has never actually set foot in the residence of any official in the court. If he does go to Prince Xiao's residence, it means that the Hao family's neutrality will be broken. He will definitely become an important person by Prince Xiao's side," Zuo Sinian continued.

"Which faction is the 'King of Valor'?" Li Anqi herself was unaware that her voice was trembling slightly.

"There were only two powerful forces competing in the court. Now one has fallen, leaving only the other."

The eldest prince was imprisoned for embezzling government funds from the Ministry of Revenue.

As a result, the Jingguo Mansion was implicated by Zuo Zhuran's slander and the Emperor took the opportunity to confiscate its property.

Now, in the imperial court, only the third prince, Ling Yao, remains as the most influential force.

Could it be that the Crown Prince secretly supported by the Prince of Xiao is the Third Prince, Ling Yao?

Li Anqi's whereabouts are unknown.

“Unless…” Zuo Sinian hesitated, his brows furrowed, then decisively shook his head, raised his glass to drink, and said no more.

Li Anqi seemed to be deep in thought, his expression gradually becoming serious.

If these are true.

The Prince of Xiao wanted to win over Hao Ge for political maneuvering and to boost his own power... But what about her...?

Li Anqi suddenly hesitated.

Since ancient times, the victor is king and the loser is a bandit.

If the faction supported by the King of Xiao successfully ascends the throne, that would be fine.

But if they fail, those who have submitted to King Xiao will perish along with him!

If Hao Ge remains neutral, he can still live a comfortable life. But once he's drawn into this treacherous vortex of power struggles, all that awaits him is cunning, backstabbing, and a future shrouded in uncertainty and danger...

Why should I drag him down with me!

Li Anqi suddenly felt somewhat fortunate, as her current dealings with Hao Ge were not yet very deep.

As long as she gives up on trying to win over Hao Ge, Hao Ge will not easily set foot in the Prince Xiao's mansion, and thus will not be recruited into the Prince Xiao's ranks.

Thinking of this, Li Anqi felt a little more at ease.

She smiled slightly, poured wine, and raised her glass.

The night wind swept through the room, carrying a chill that seemed to seep into your bones.

Zuo Siyun brought a cloak and thoughtfully draped it over Li Anqi, saying, "Your body is hot from drinking, and it's not good for you to be exposed to the cold wind. Your Highness, please be careful not to catch a cold."

Li Anqi's cheeks flushed pink as she smiled gently.

She took off her cloak and took Zuo Siyun's hand at the same time.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I'm feeling quite hot, a little breeze won't bother me."

Zuo Siyun paused for a moment, then smiled gently, "Okay."

The three drank and talked for a long time until late at night.

In the end, Li Anqi was completely drunk and unconscious.

Zuo Sinian sighed helplessly, then summoned Zhilan and personally drove the Xiao Prince's carriage to take Li Anqi to the Xiao Prince's residence.

Li Anqi returned to Fuying Garden and slept soundly and deeply.

The next day, Xiao Shunzi came to report that the Prince Xiao wanted to summon her to the Hui Palace last year.

She endured her physical discomfort and slowly got out of bed.

The upper-class bench inside the Hall of Year Emblems.

Li Baoqin stood close to Prince Xiao, feeding him fruit in an affectionate tone.

Xiao Wang stared intently at the invitation Yu Yang presented in his hand, a hint of excitement flickering in his eyes. He absentmindedly opened his mouth and took a grape that Li Baoqin offered.

"Your Majesty."

Supported by Zhilan, Li Anqi arrived at the center of the hall and bowed gently.

The Prince of Xiao raised his eyes, his gaze settling on Li Anqi's pale lips and slightly sickly complexion, his expression darkening.

Upon seeing Li Anqi appear, Li Baoqin frowned slightly, her heart filled with barely concealed irritation.

"Your Highness summoned me here, but what is the purpose of your summons?" Li Anqi asked weakly, her voice hoarse.

Xiao Wang got up from the bench, went down a few steps, and came to Li Anqi. He put one hand behind his back and handed her the invitation with the other.

"Hao Ge invites you to join his poetry society. We'll be attending a banquet at Lanfang Garden tomorrow." He smiled slightly, his eyes showing a hint of appreciation and joy.

Li Anqi stared blankly at the invitation, without reaching out to take it.

She looked away, supporting Zhilan with one hand and gently placing the other on her chest, nodding and coughing twice in a low voice.

"Cough cough."

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Li Anqi's forehead, and his face and lips were pale.

She looked at Xiao Wang again, her expression somewhat regretful.

"I would like to go. However, I caught a cold last night, and I'm afraid my body won't be able to hold up..." She seemed to use all her strength to say these words.

The King of Xiao's expression froze slightly, and the excitement and joy in his eyes vanished.

Seeing this, Li Baoqin smiled and moved closer to Prince Xiao, taking his strong right arm. "Since my sister can't go, why don't you take me with you, Your Highness? It's just a matter of reciting a few poems. I can recite poems too! Dealing with them won't be a problem!"

The Prince of Xiao glanced down at Li Baoqin, a barely perceptible glint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

He smiled slightly, took Li Baoqin's hand, and looked at her with deep affection.

"I can't bear to see you worry about this matter, after all, you've already done enough for me."

Li Baoqin's eyes welled up with tears, her heart overflowing with emotion.

She hugged Xiao Wang tightly, acting coquettishly like a little woman, as if she wanted to stay like this forever.

"It's good that Your Highness knows..."

Li Baoqin hadn't finished speaking.

Out of the corner of his eye, the Prince Xiao caught sight of that delicate and frail figure, and suddenly collapsed...

"Your Majesty!" Zhilan exclaimed in concern.

Xiao Wang suddenly broke free from Li Baoqin's embrace and swiftly caught the ailing Li Anqi in his arms.
