The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

Qiu Yue suddenly looked at Li Anqi: "Your Majesty!"

Li Anqi asked Qiuyue, "You don't want to?"

Qiu Yue hesitated for a second, glanced at Li Anxiu, and finally lowered her head with a red face, saying nothing more.

Li Anxiu said, "I naturally trust the people around Your Majesty. That's good."

"However, I'm afraid my sister-in-law won't agree..."

Li Anqi continued.

"Brother, why don't you ask your sister-in-law first? If she has no objection, then it won't be too late for Qiuyue to return to Jingguo Mansion with you."

Li Anxiu nodded slowly: "Then it is Your Majesty's will. I will ask Siyun when I return."

After Li Anxiu left.

Qiu Yue knelt down in front of Li Anqi with a thud, frowning as she spoke.

"Your Majesty! This servant has sworn an oath that I will serve Your Majesty to the death for the rest of my life!"

"If you manage the Jingguo Mansion for my brother and sister-in-law, it can be considered as you serving me."

Li Anqi said quietly.

"..."

The autumn moon is silent.

Li Anqi continued.

"I'm only giving you this one chance. Whether you can win over your sister-in-law is entirely up to you."

Qiu Yue suddenly looked up, utterly shocked.

Li Anqi remained calm and continued.

Think it through before you answer.

After all, she was a maid who lived with her day and night.

Qiu Yue had feelings for Li Anxiu, and Li Anqi knew it all too well.

Although Qiuyue was very loyal and vowed to stay with her for life.

But Li Anqi still decided to give Qiuyue a chance to leave him.

Qiu Yue's face was full of struggle. She bit her lip, and after a long time, she seemed to finally make up her mind.

“This servant…is willing to return to the Jingguo Mansion.”

After saying this, Qiuyue knelt down with both hands on the ground and kowtowed to Li Anqi.

Li Anqi's eyes relaxed, and he reminded her, "The road ahead is bumpy, so be careful."

Qiuyue shuddered.

"Yes……"

Day two.

Li Anqi, accompanied by Zhilan, arrived at Xiaqing Garden, the residence of Princess Nanxia, ​​also known as Princess Xiao, to pay her respects as usual.

Outside Princess Xiao's courtyard, several eunuchs stood respectfully.

The gates to the houses inside the courtyard remained tightly closed.

"This humble servant has come to pay her respects to the Princess. May Your Highness enjoy boundless blessings and peace."

Even though there was no one around, Li Anqi still bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness, please ask Lady Qi to return."

It was the same voice, the same words.

Li Anqi glanced at the cloisonné enamel hand warmer in Zhilan's hand and spoke again.

"I have heard that the Princess Consort is from Nanxia and is the most favored princess of Nanxia. I recently acquired a treasure that comes from Nanxia."

"I think that Your Highness, Your Highness, has been away from Nanxia for many years and must miss your homeland and family at times."

"Therefore, I wish to give this item to the Princess, hoping that when she is homesick, she will find something to rely on and find comfort in it."

After a while, the door opened.

A woman in her early twenties, carrying the fragrant scent of sandalwood, approached Li Anqi.

"This servant, Xianghui, greets Lady Chess."

Li Anqi gestured to Zhilan and handed the hand warmer to Xianghui.

"This cloisonné enamel hand warmer is from Nanxia. I hope Your Highness will like it."

Xianghui nodded, glanced at Li Anqi's hands which were wrapped in gauze, and took the hand warmer.

"On behalf of Your Highness the Princess, I thank Lady Qi."

"Auntie, you're too kind."

Li Anqi looked at Xiang Hui and continued.

"Now that the Prince is not in the manor, and the New Year is just around the corner, I wonder if Your Highness the Princess will be present to preside over the New Year's Eve sacrificial ceremony?"

Xianghui shook her head.

“The Prince Xiao’s residence is different from other places. No matter how big or small the festival is, it is not celebrated. If Your Highness wants to celebrate the New Year, remember to buy some New Year’s goods before the New Year and cook a few good dishes in your room. That way, the New Year will be celebrated.”

Li Anqi paused for a moment, then slowly nodded: "I understand, thank you, Aunt."

"You're too kind, Lady Chess. Please return."

After saying that, Xianghui took the cloisonné enamel hand warmer back into the room and closed the door again.

Li Anqi fell into deep thought.

Leaving Xiaqingyuan.

Li Anqi asked Zhilan, "How's the matter I asked you to inquire about going?"

"This servant has inquired and found out that the head gardener in the Prince's mansion is surnamed Deng, and is an old servant of the Prince's mansion. After Consort Qin miscarried, the Prince punished her with twenty strokes of the cane, but she is still on duty now."

Zhilan continued.

"I've heard that the princess loves flowers, and her room must have flowers blooming all year round. Besides the storeroom, Aunt Xianghui's most frequented place is the flower cellar, and she is also familiar with Manager Deng."

"Auntie, who do you think buried those musk?" Li Anqi asked.

"This servant does not know either."

Zhilan shook her head, a hint of tension in her brows.

"The only thing this servant knows is that the person who did this behind the scenes either wanted to harm Consort Qin, or the Consort herself, or they wanted to kill two birds with one stone, making things difficult for both of them."

Li Anqi spoke softly, his expression somewhat solemn.

"There's another possibility."
