The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

Li Anqi lowered his eyes and spoke quietly.

"I am sorry to Ling Ye, but please do not tell him about me yet, Young Master Shan, so as to avoid him being distracted on the battlefield and being injured by the eyeless swords."

“Okay…” Shan Xingwen’s tone softened considerably.

"I have no great ambitions in this life. I only hope that Ling Ye can return to the capital safely, meet a woman who loves him again, and live a life of mutual understanding and companionship with him... As for my family, as long as they are safe and happy, that will be enough."

"What the Chess Goddess said was all about hoping for the best for others, without considering herself."

Li Anqi shook his head.

"My remaining years are no longer my own, so what more could I ask for?"

She paused for a moment at the end.

"..."

Shan Xingwen looked at her quietly, a hint of pity and sympathy suddenly arising in his eyes.

It's getting a bit cold.

Li Anqi is drawing a draft of a velvet hairpin at his desk.

Qiuyue was holding a can of tea in her hand, having just returned from the tea room.

She smiled brightly and hurriedly spoke to Li Anqi.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, guess who I ran into today!"

Li Anqi stared at Qiu Yue's smiling face for about two seconds before lowering his head and placing his paintbrush on the brush holder.

"Is my brother here?" she asked.

"Your Highness is so clever! I ran into the eldest young master on my way back from the tea room!" Qiuyue said with a smile.

"Um……"

Li Anqi continued calmly.

"He's probably here to see Lady Qin."

"Yes, although the eldest young master did not come here, he asked me about the lady's recent situation."

Li Anqi suddenly looked up: "Brother asked me?"

Autumn Moon nodded.

"This servant dares not say more, only that Your Highness is well. After this servant finished speaking, the eldest young master did not say anything more, but he seemed somewhat relieved. It seems that the eldest young master still cares about Your Highness."

Li Anqi quickly packed up his drawing paper and left the room.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?!"

Qiuyue put down the tea canister and quickly followed Li Anqi.

"I'm going to Tianchang Garden to visit my elder sister and also to greet my elder brother. You will come with me."

"Yes!"

The walls of Tianchang Garden are covered with roses.

However, after the flowering season, the rose bushes only had some sparse, unhealthy green leaves left.

The most eye-catching thing is the several pots of roses in full bloom under the porch of the main house.

Perhaps due to its different variety, this rose has an exceptionally pleasant fragrance, quite unlike ordinary roses.

Li Anqi stepped into the room and saw Li Baoqin playing the zither.

The piano playing was intermittent, and it sounded like the player wasn't very skilled yet.

Li Baoqin's expression was like that of a struggling student doing math homework, her brows furrowed in worry.

Li Anqi glanced at Li Baoqin's protruding belly.

"elder sister."

Li Anqi bowed to Li Baoqin, then glanced around the room.

Li Anxiu is not here.

Am I late...?

When Li Baoqin saw Li Anqi arrive, she instinctively protected her stomach, her expression showing some surprise.

"What are you doing here?!"

Li Anqi had already understood this in his heart.

From the moment she married Prince Xiao, she and Li Baoqin could never go back to the days when they used to have snowball fights together.

After all, Li Baoqin was madly in love with Prince Xiao, and from the very beginning she clamored to be with him for life.

She was also the person whom the Prince Xiao had personally requested the Emperor to grant her a marriage.

Li Baoqin could hardly tolerate herself.

Cuihong moved a stool over and placed it behind Li Anqi.

Li Anqi slowly sat down.

Li Baoqin frowned: "Did I tell you to sit down?!"

Li Anqi glanced at her stomach, remained calm, and slowly stood up.

Cuihong, her face pale, hurriedly moved the stool away.

"I heard that my elder brother came today," Li Anqi said calmly.

"What business is it of yours whether your brother comes or not?! Do you expect your brother to come see you? Have you forgotten who caused us siblings to be unable to see our mother?!"

Li Baoqin glared at him, her face full of resentment.

"The younger sister naturally doesn't expect her older brother to come and see her."

Li Anqi said calmly.

“It is only natural for an elder brother to come and visit his elder sister; it shows that he values ​​her. After all, they are blood relatives, and they share joys and sorrows, and are inseparable, whether in times of hardship or good fortune.”

"Ha! At least you have some self-awareness!"

Li Baoqin curled her lips into a sneer.

"The Jingguo Prefecture is currently short of funds, so of course my brother can only come to me! Did you expect him to ask for your help?! What else can you do besides playing tricks!"

Li Anqi lowered his head and looked down.

It turned out that the elder brother had come to borrow money from Li Baoqin.

Has the Jingguo Prefecture really fallen to this state...?

Li Anqi clenched his fists as he recalled the old lady's dying words.

“My sister is merely a woman from the inner court; naturally, she can’t be of much help. After all, my elder sister owns numerous businesses outside the palace, and the profits from a few months are probably enough for the Jingguo Mansion to spend for a year,” Li Anqi said slowly.

Li Baoqin's face flushed red, her expression slightly embarrassed, and she angrily retorted, "What's it to you!"

Li Anqi carefully examined Li Baoqin and noticed the embarrassment in her eyes.

Perhaps, for some reason, Li Baoqin did not borrow money from Li Anxiu.

Sure enough, Li Baoqin continued.

"That restaurant wasn't owned by me alone, so how could I possibly get so many profits?! Besides, I have other places where I need money, so how could I possibly lend it all to my family to provide them with food and drink!"

As Li Baoqin spoke, she grew increasingly agitated.

It's unclear whether she hates the Jingguo Mansion or her own incompetence.

"Although I come from the Jingguo Mansion, I cannot let them sit around and squander their wealth, only dragging me down!"
