The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

"..."

The old lady and Li Miao remained silent.

Seeing this, Madam Zhao hesitated and tentatively said, "What Qin'er said makes sense. Master and Madam might as well give her a chance and see how she does."

"Grandma, Father, Qin'er's talent is not limited to this, nor should it be confined to her being a girl. Please grant her wish!"

Li Baoqin knelt down and kowtowed to the two men.

The entire room fell silent; no one dared to utter a sound.

"Miss Li is indeed talented, and today's performance was well-intentioned."

Prince Xiao put down his wine cup and stood up to plead for Li Baoqin.

"If the Dowager and the Duke of Jingguo have any reservations, I, the King, may step forward and take the young lady with me to do business, so as to benefit all the people of Daxin!"

"This……"

Li Miao looked at the old lady, as if he wanted to ask her for instructions.

Since it was Prince Xiao who pleaded for her and was willing to stand up for Li Baoqin, he couldn't very well refuse.

The old lady took a deep breath and said to Li Baoqin.

"...Alright, since Prince Xiao has spoken, then I will grant your request."

"Thank you, Grandma! Thank you, Father!" Li Baoqin quickly expressed her gratitude.

Li Miao smiled and waved to Li Baoqin, telling her to get up and stop kneeling.

The old lady seemed disheartened, her voice weary: "Alright, let's end the birthday banquet here today. Thank you all for coming to celebrate my birthday. You've all worked hard. Please go back now, I'm a little tired."

"Respectfully seeing off the Dowager Madam."

The birthday banquet, which should have been a great success, ended abruptly.

It was obvious to everyone that although the old lady agreed on the surface, she still harbored resentment in her heart.

However, due to the influence of Prince Xiao, it was not appropriate to reject the proposal again.

Li Baoqin didn't care about anything else. She was so happy that she jumped around a few times like Tigger, shouting "yes!"

Xiao Wang approached her, smiling slightly, "Congratulations, Miss Li, your wish has come true."

Li Baoqin excitedly grasped Xiao Wang's left hand and shook it up and down like she was digging a well: "Thank you, thank you!"

Ling Ye chuckled and teased, "Miss Li, you are indeed extraordinary."

Li Baoqin smiled foolishly, not understanding the hidden meaning in Ling Ye's words.

Xiao Wang understood that Ling Ye meant that Li Baoqin's words and actions were crude and unlike those of a well-bred lady.

Xiao Wangchao Lingye shook his head slightly.

Ling Ye rolled his eyes, tilted his head back, turned to the side, and leisurely looked away.

He happened to see Li Anqi leaning against the second-floor railing, and suddenly seemed to be frozen in place.

Li Anqi took off his fan, smiled slightly at Ling Ye, bowed respectfully, and drifted away.

Li Baoqin put her arm around Xiao Wang's arm and said warmly, "From now on, you're my partner! Don't be so reserved, just call me Qin'er!"

Xiao Wang glanced at her hand resting on his forearm and smiled.

"Miss Qin'er, you will be doing business with me from now on, and we will inevitably have many dealings. Take this token. If you need to discuss anything with me, you can send a servant with this token to Prince Xiao's residence to deliver a message."

Li Baoqin put the token away and said with a smile, "No need for servants to send a message, I'll go myself. It'll be more convenient to talk when we meet! Please take care of me in the future!"

“This… is fine,” said the Prince of Xiao.

"OK, I'll go back and get ready. See you then!" Li Baoqin smiled, patted Xiao Wang's arm, and skipped away.

Xiao Wang stopped smiling and turned to look at Ling Ye.

But then they saw Ling Ye staring blankly at an empty corner on the second floor from the right.

Xiao Wang was curious and waved his hand twice in front of his line of sight.

Ling Ye suddenly came to his senses.

"What are you looking at so intently?"

Ling Ye shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing."

After the old lady's birthday banquet ended.

Li Anqi has also resumed his normal life.

She no longer needs to go to the private school.

All you need to do is pay your respects every morning and evening, participate in the family's ancestral worship ceremonies during festivals, and have dinner with everyone at the Fushou Hall in the evening.

Aside from visiting the old lady, she spent her free time reading, playing chess, and painting in her room.

On a hot summer day, the old lady ordered someone to send six watermelons to Li Anqi.

After making inquiries, Li Anqi discovered that the old lady had given him the watermelon alone; none of his other siblings had received one.

So Li Anqi ordered Qiuyue to chill the watermelons and deliver them to the others one by one.

Li Anxiu was busy with the betrothal ceremony and was not at home.

Li Anqi left a watermelon at Li Anxiu's residence and then went to Li Baoqin's place.

As it turned out, Caixia said that Li Baoqin had gone to Prince Xiao's mansion and didn't know when she would return.

Li Anqi had no choice but to leave Li Baoqin's watermelon behind and go to Li An Academy.

"Sister!"

Today is a holiday at the family school, and Li Anshu is practicing the pipa in his room.

Upon seeing Li Anqi arrive, Li Anshu immediately put down his pipa and came over to embrace her.

"Why is my older sister here?"

Li Anshu hugged Li Anqi like a child, rocking him back and forth, grinning from ear to ear.

"It's been so hot these past few days. The old lady gave me a few watermelons, which I chilled and brought over to you to cool you down."

Li Anqi led Li Anshu to sit down and ordered someone to cut the watermelon.

Li Anshu licked his lips, picked up a piece of melon, and took a bite.

“The old lady is so good to my sister, Anshu is a little jealous.”

Li Anshu pouted, looking aggrieved, but then smiled and took Li Anqi's hand.

"But then I thought about it, and I guess my older sister deserves all this love, hehe!"

Li Anqi smiled faintly.

"We share the same mother, so my well-being is your well-being, and your well-being is my well-being. As long as we sisters are of one mind and support each other, many difficulties and troubles will naturally be resolved."

"Sister is right!"

Li Anshu seemed to be thinking of something, and his expression turned slightly disappointed.

"Shu'er has been practicing the pipa diligently lately, hoping to play it for her father. Unfortunately, her father is often away from the inner courtyard due to official business, and even when he is there, he won't come to Shu'er's place."

Li Anqi sensed the sadness in Li Anshu's words and took her hand.

She then noticed that Li Anshu's hands were covered in blisters and broken skin, which looked rather alarming.
