The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

Li Anqi pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Please lead the way, Eunuch Fan."

Liu Yun tied a fox fur cloak around Li Anqi's neck.

Li Anqi raised his hand and placed his forearm on Liuyun's hand, while Yingying followed behind Eunuch Fan.

Upon entering the Hall of Year Emblems, a wave of warm air accompanied by the fragrance of sandalwood greets you.

The eunuchs quickly closed the palace doors to prevent the cold air from outside from getting in.

"Your Highness, Lady Chess has arrived."

Li Anqi took off his fox fur coat, placed it in Liuyun's hands, and knelt down to pay his respects.

"Greetings, Your Highness, and Sister."

Wei Yuan was also there, sitting on the other side of Ling Luo.

Ling Luo pursed her lips: "Come and sit down."

Li Anqi slowly took his seat, still keeping a considerable distance, sitting opposite the three of them.

The dishes on the table were steaming hot, but none of the people showed any interest in touching them.

Li Baoqin clung to Ling Luo's arm, like a piece of nougat stuck to his shoulder, and smiled provocatively at Li Anqi.

It's as if it's saying: See? Even if I admit that the prince cares about you, so what? I am the most important person to the prince!

Ignoring Li Baoqin's smug and provocative gaze, Li Anqi noticed that Wei Yuan seemed somewhat uncomfortable, and a hint of doubt flashed through his mind.

"Your Highness, I've missed you so much these past few months!"

"Has Your Highness missed me?"

Li Baoqin acted coquettishly beside Ling Luo.

Ling Luo frowned almost imperceptibly, then smiled gently, pursing her lips: "Yes, of course I want to."

Li Baoqin didn't see that Ling Luo was looking at Li Anqi when she said those words.

Li Baoqin smiled contentedly, but seemed dissatisfied as she leaned on his shoulder, nuzzling her head inward, wrapping her arms around his waist, and snuggling into his embrace.

Ling Luo's stiff, pursed-lip smile gradually disappeared, and she subconsciously avoided Li Anqi's gaze.

"I have been in the household for over a year, and since that last time... I have not been able to conceive."

Li Baoqin smiled sweetly, almost as if honey was overflowing from her eyes.

"This time when I return to the manor, I will serve Your Highness every night and strive to give birth to a big, healthy son for Your Highness as soon as possible!"

Wei Yuan, who was standing to the side, suddenly turned pale, as if he had been frozen in place.

Li Baoqin's gloomy and resentful gaze swept over Li Anqi, and she continued.

"Your Highness need not seek comfort elsewhere!"

"Your Highness, one concubine is enough. Don't you agree?"

Li Baoqin looked up, seemingly eager for Ling Luo's reply.

Ling Luo smiled and nodded.

Li Baoqin smiled broadly, nestled contentedly in Ling Luo's arms.

Li Anqi glanced at Wei Yuan, then at Li Baoqin, without changing his expression, and said nothing.

Ling Luo poured wine for herself and Wei Yuan.

"This trip to Fengzhou was all thanks to you." Ling Luo raised her glass to Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan snapped out of his daze, his smile stiffening slightly, and quickly raised his glass in return.

"Your Highness is too kind. It is my great honor to serve Your Highness and Consort Qin."

As he spoke, Wei Yuan glanced at Li Baoqin through Ling Luo, a glint of something flashing in his eyes.

Ling Luo patted his shoulder, as if trying to make him relax: "Why have you become so reserved after not seeing you for several months?"

Wei Yuan chuckled softly, "Your Highness is right. I've only been away from the capital for a few months, and I didn't expect the situation there to change so quickly. I haven't quite caught up yet..."

Ling Luo curled her lips into a smile.

"You, like Hao Ge and Zuo Sinian, are my right-hand men."

"Between you and me, there is no need for further discussion."

Wei Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He looked up sharply, staring intently at Ling Luo, a hint of emotion flickering in his eyes.

"Yes!" He raised his cup with both hands with great enthusiasm, tilted his head back, and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Your Highness... I have something I wish to ask Your Highness to uphold justice for." Li Baoqin whimpered in Ling Luo's arms.

Ling Luo finished his drink, slowly put down his glass, and looked down at Li Baoqin.

"What's justice?"

Li Baoqin pouted and looked at Li Anqi with resentment.

"Caixia's face was disfigured by her sister, and she will never be able to face anyone again in this lifetime."

"After all, Caixia was my dowry maid, and she can be considered my younger sister who grew up with me since childhood."

"Sister, by doing this, aren't you slapping me in the face? It truly breaks my heart."

Li Baoqin looked pitiful, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Ling Luo had not yet spoken.

Li Anqi spoke first.

"Who are you to compare yourself to me, Caixia or I?"

"Sister, it's fine if you lower yourself to address the maids as sisters, but please don't drag me into it!"

"Furthermore, as a servant girl, Caixia attempted to spy on me and the Prince. Shouldn't she be punished?!"

Li Anqi's expression remained calm, yet every word he uttered was profound and to the point.
