The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Li Anqi answered politely, glanced at the direction where the man had his hands behind his back, and then asked.

"May I ask what brings Your Highness here?"

Xiao Wang's gaze sharpened, as if he knew that she had discovered his purpose.

He didn't shy away from showing off, taking out the green-headed pair of cards.

"I was afraid you'd be bored, so I came here to give you this card of the housekeeper."

"..."

Li Anqi stared at the pair of cards silently for a long time without saying a word.

"What, you don't want to?"

Li Anqi shook his head.

"Since the old lady passed away, I have been in poor health. Sometimes, even when I eat or talk, I have hallucinations and feel that the old lady is still there... In my condition, I am afraid I am not able to shoulder this heavy responsibility."

Xiao Wang remained expressionless, his hands behind his back, and nodded.

"I have ordered Guo Yuandi to examine your pulse. I am at ease knowing that you are acquainted with him."

Li Anqi opened his mouth, but did not refuse.

Looking at her thin clothes, the Prince of Xiao continued.

"It's getting colder, remember to add an extra blanket at night. I will have someone send over the winter clothes and charcoal as well. You are weak, so please don't get sick again."

Li Anqi looked puzzled, glanced at the Prince of Xiao, and bowed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Prince Xiao continued, "Recently, some of the flowers and potted plants in the manor are being moved to the cellar. If you are bored, you can help me by looking after those gardeners."

Li Anqi was indeed somewhat depressed and bored.

Seeing that the Prince Xiao had said so, she could no longer refuse, so she agreed.

"it is good."

Xiao Wang smiled slightly and nodded.

After Xiao Wang left, Liu Yun couldn't help but sigh.

"I thought the prince was heartless, but I never expected him to be so tender-hearted and treat the empress so well!"

Zhilan glanced at Liuyun.

Liu Yun immediately fell silent, looking regretful for her mistake.

"..."

Li Anqi's brows furrowed with a hint of sorrow, his eyes glazed over, lost in thought.

The next day, Guo Yuandi indeed arrived.

Guo Yuandi said that Li Anqi's health has improved a little compared to before.

So he prescribed her another prescription to regulate her mind and told her to take it on time.

After Guo Yuandi left.

Manager Yang from the yamen personally delivered cotton and charcoal to Li Anqi, and also gave her an extra cloisonné enamel hand warmer.

"These are tributes from Nanxia. The prince said that the empress might like them, so he specially instructed his servants to present them to her."

Looking at the colorful and exquisite hand warmer in front of him, Li Anqi looked puzzled.

"Are you sure the prince is giving this to me, and not to my sister?!"

Steward Yang said respectfully, "Your Highness is referring to Lady Qi. This servant is absolutely certain that I did not mishear."

Li Anqi pondered for a moment and nodded.

After Manager Yang left, Nuanjiao sent someone to summon Li Anqi.

Li Anqi put on a cloak and went to the warm cellar.

The warm cellar in the Prince Xiao's Mansion was larger than that in the Jingguo Mansion, and it also contained more plants, fruits, and vegetables.

Li Anqi sorted out the flowers, plants, and potted plants that were not affected by the frost, categorized them, and had them recorded in a register for regular maintenance.

"Your Highness, the chrysanthemums in Your Highness Qin's courtyard have all withered. Your Highness Qin has asked me to move some other flowers over there."

Li Anqi turned around and saw a little eunuch staring at him expectantly.

"What kind of flowers does she want?" Li Anqi asked.

The young eunuch said, "The Lady Qin didn't say anything, she only said that the flowers should be brightly blooming, not withered ones, because she said they annoy her."

"..."

Li Anqi spotted a few pots of roses in full bloom and said.

"Move these rose bushes over there."

"Yes."

The young eunuch agreed and turned around to ask someone to help him move several pots of fragrant roses to Tianchang Garden, where Li Baoqin lived.

In this era, married women faced slightly fewer restrictions than unmarried girls.

The relationship between Li Anqi and Ling Luo has not yet reached the point where he would care about where she is.

Therefore, Li Anqi is now free to leave the mansion without having to report to anyone.

When Li Anqi saw Shan Xingwen again, he had a different state of mind.

Previously, she eagerly awaited news from Ling Ye sent back from the border.

Now, however, I am filled with trepidation and dare not face it.

"This is the dividend for the past six months, Miss Chess... Lady Chess, please take a look," Shan Xingwen said coldly.

Li Anqi's eyes darkened, and he did not take the account book and banknotes that Shan Xingwen handed over.

She nodded slightly and said, "No need to look at it. I... I trust Young Master Shan. As for the silver notes, leave them with Young Master Shan for now. I don't need them for the time being."

Dan Xingwen took back the ledger and banknotes, and looked out the window expressionlessly.

"Now that you are the concubine of the Prince of Xiao, you have everything you could want in terms of wealth and honor, so you naturally don't need money."

Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, Li Anqi felt as if his heart had been pricked by a needle.

She paused for a moment, then spoke.

“When my elder brother got married, he was depressed and sent me dried lychees.”

"I said at the time: 'The beauty fades, the fragrance remains.' The bitterness in his heart was truly heartbreaking. But the marriage was already arranged, and even if he was unwilling, he could only swallow it alone, and no one could help him."

"I never imagined that this saying would come true for me."

"..."

The warm sunlight shone in through the window and fell on Li Anqi.

She was like a crystal-clear beauty, her eyes filled with a poignant melancholy.

As Shan Xingwen looked at Li Anqi, the coldness on his face gradually faded.
