The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

Ling Xiao frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and his expression gradually changed from complete confusion to a silly grin:

"Haha, I think I understand what you mean... Don't worry, my third brother and I are brothers, he won't do anything to me!"

"..." Li Anqi lowered his head silently, the smile on his lips gradually fading.

She didn't know why Ling Zhao was so certain.

But she knew that although Ling Zhao might be gluttonous and lecherous, he was kind-hearted and had no bad intentions.

However, his overly straightforward and reckless nature may cause him trouble in the future...

"It's getting late, I'll take my leave," Li Anqi said softly.

"Haha, I had a very pleasant chat with you today. I don't have anything else to do, so I'll see you to Donghua Gate," Ling Xiao said warmly.

Li Anqi did not refuse and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

Throughout the journey, Ling Zhao was like a warm, fluffy bun, radiating enthusiasm.

She is unusually concerned about the relationship between Li Anqi and Ling Luo.

His words were full of praise for Li Anqi.

Li Anqi mostly listened silently, occasionally offering a few polite replies, without discussing his relationship with Ling Luo in detail.

Ling Zhao didn't mind at all and remained as enthusiastic as ever.

Until Li Anqi's carriage gradually drove away.

Ling Xiao remained standing there, her eyes shining as she watched the distance go by.

……

Prince Xiao's Mansion, Hall of the Years' Emblem.

Liu Yun helped Li Anqi to the door of the study.

"Oh, Your Highness has arrived." Eunuch Fan stepped forward with a smile and whispered, "The Prince and Lord Hao are discussing matters in their room. Your Highness may come later."

Li Anqi glanced at the tightly closed study door.

Eunuch Fan nodded slowly, about to leave.

"No need." Hao Ge opened the study door, a gentle smile on his face. "His Highness invites the Empress in."

Li Anqi bowed gently to Hao Ge, a slight smile playing on her lips, her tone polite yet slightly distant, "Thank you, Lord Hao."

Li Anqi walked gracefully into the study, while Liu Yun waited outside the door.

Her gaze swept lightly across the study, finally settling on Ling Luo.

Ling Luo was still dressed in a gilded black robe, sitting at his desk writing something with a calm and composed expression, revealing no emotion.

Li Anqi pursed his lips slightly, took a deep breath, slowly bowed, and said softly:

"Your Highness, I entered the palace today and Her Majesty the Empress summoned me."

Upon hearing this, Ling Luo paused for a moment, her pen still in her hand.

He raised his head, looking at Li Anqi with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, but he didn't speak, as if waiting for her to continue.

Li Anqi took the jade pendant from his sleeve, stepped forward, and presented it to Ling Luo:

"Your Majesty, please allow me to pass this jade pendant on to the Prince."

Ling Luo's gaze fell on the jade pendant, her pupils contracted slightly, and a complex and unreadable emotion flashed in her originally calm eyes.

"This is... a relic of General Zhenyuan."

He slowly reached out and took the jade pendant, gently stroking its texture with his fingers, remaining silent for a long time.

The Zhenyuan Army followed General Zhenyuan through thick and thin for decades, making great contributions to Daxin.

After General Zhenyuan passed away, he gave this jade pendant to the Empress, and the Zhenyuan Army then followed the Empress's lead.

Lingluo naturally knew how important this jade pendant was to the Empress.

Now the Empress is giving this jade pendant to him.

The meaning is self-evident.

“Yes,” Li Anqi replied softly.

The study fell into a deathly silence; the air seemed to freeze.

Li Anqi stood quietly to the side. She could sense the subtle emotional fluctuations in Ling Luo at this moment, but she also saw that he remained completely unmoved.
