The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

Li Anqi's gaze fell on the osmanthus honey-fried glutinous rice cake in front of him.

At that time, Li Anshu had not yet shut himself in his room. He was always smiling, optimistic and lively, and often visited her room.

This osmanthus honey-fried glutinous rice cake is Li Anshu's favorite food.

Li Anqi often ordered food from the kitchen back then, all because Li Anshu was there.

Li Anqi looked up and met Ling Luo's dark eyes. He saw that Ling Luo was looking at him with certainty, his eyes sparkling.

"Your Highness is so kind..."

After she finished speaking, Ling Luo's lips curled up almost imperceptibly again.

Just now.

Outside the Hall of Reign Emblems, a sharp rebuke shattered the tranquility.

"You audacious lowly servant, how dare you use the same rouge as me!"

It was Li Baoqin's voice.

Li Anqi suddenly felt a jolt of surprise as he recalled something.

Sure enough, Liu Yun's panicked and trembling voice rang out immediately afterward.

"Reporting to Lady Qin, this is a reward from Lady Qi to this servant..."

"Your Majesty, I shall take my leave now." Li Anqi quickly rose, bowed, and hurried out of the Nianhui Palace.

"reward?!"

Li Baoqin's face contorted with rage. She stepped forward and grabbed Liu Yun's collar tightly, almost screaming.

"How could she so easily bestow such a precious gift upon a lowly servant like you?!"

"She knew perfectly well that the Prince had given both her and me a share of this rouge. Was she simply ignorant of her own limitations, or were you deliberately using her to intimidate me?!"

The maids and eunuchs around them trembled and dared not even breathe.

Liu Yun was so frightened that her face turned pale, tears welled up in her eyes, but she dared not struggle and could only keep kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Please, Lady Qin, spare my life! Please, Lady Qin, spare my life... This servant truly knows nothing!"

"Sister Qin, what's wrong?" Li Anqi stepped forward, her tone gentle and neither humble nor arrogant.

Li Baoqin was not surprised at all when she heard Li Anqi's voice.

She sneered, grabbed Liu Yun's chin, and stared down at Liu Yun's beautiful face with an arrogant expression:

"What's wrong? My dear sister is quite generous, even giving away the gold-threaded jade rouge bestowed by the Prince to the servants. What, do you think this is not good enough for you, or are you deliberately humiliating me?"

Li Baoqin emphasized the word "deliberately" with extreme force, as if she wanted to vent her anger.

At the same time, the hand gripping Liu Yun's chin gradually tightened, leaving several bright red marks on Liu Yun's face.

Li Anqi's heart tightened, but his face remained calm:

“Sister, you misunderstand. Although this rouge was a gift from the prince, I don’t usually like heavy makeup. I thought that Liuyun has served me for many years, so I gave it to her. I had no other intention.”

"No other intention?"

Li Baoqin's voice suddenly rose, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes, her gaze sweeping over Li Anqi like a sharp blade.

"Sister, you certainly know how to talk! But the Golden Jade Rouge is priceless, and everyone in the manor knows that it's a rare treasure that the Prince specially sought out. Yet you casually bestow it upon a mere maid. Doesn't that tell everyone that you don't take the Prince's gift seriously, and that you clearly don't respect me? Even a servant can use the same things as me?!"

Li Anqi frowned slightly, understanding that Li Baoqin's anger was not only due to a box of rouge, but also because Ling Luo had given her the same rouge, causing her jealousy and dissatisfaction.

She did feel a little uneasy when she gave the rouge to Liuyun.

Seeing that Liu Yun really liked it, and since he disliked the gold-threaded jade rouge that Ling Luo had given him, he gave the rouge to Liu Yun and warned him not to be ostentatious.

To everyone's surprise, this still happened.
