The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

“What’s possible?” Zhilan asked.

Li Anqi shook his head to himself, seemingly relieved, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Never mind, perhaps I've been thinking too badly of people..."

Zhilan sighed helplessly, her eyes filled with pity as she looked at Li Anqi.

In addition to maids and old women, several eunuchs were also stationed in the courtyard where Li Anqi and Li Baoqin lived.

While at the Jingguo Mansion, Li Anqi was usually surrounded by female maids.

Having spent a long time at the Prince Xiao's residence, Li Anqi gradually came to understand the differences between the Prince Xiao's residence and the Jingguo residence.

The Prince Xiao's Mansion is a royal mansion, and its splendor surpasses that of the Duke's Mansion.

But Princess Nanxia stayed indoors all day, and Prince Xiao was all alone.

The vast Xiaowang Mansion was deserted and quiet, unlike the bustling Jingguo Mansion.

The valiant king was once a general and hero who won a great victory over the Southern Xia, and he exuded a chilling aura.

The servants of Prince Xiao's mansion were all terrified of him.

They were all law-abiding, strict, and dedicated to their duties, never daring to make the slightest mistake in their words or actions.

It's cold and lifeless here, like a stagnant pool, just like Lingluo, making people feel heartless.

This is also what Li Anqi feels most deeply.

After all, the Jingguo Mansion was known for its lenient and benevolent family tradition, and rarely punished its servants severely.

The Prince Xiao's Mansion is different.

Whether or not to punish him severely depends entirely on Ling Luo's mood at the time.

The eunuch in Li Anqi's courtyard said that someone had been beaten to death for breaking a teacup in front of Prince Xiao, and someone had accidentally burned down a house but was unharmed.

This kind of unpredictability is even more frightening than a strict and rigorous family style.

Zhilan is changing Li Anqi's dressing.

A young eunuch, about seventeen or eighteen years old, hurriedly presented a letter to Li Anqi.

"Your Majesty, Madam Wu has sent you a letter."

Li Anqi scratched his itchy hands, but Zhilan stopped him with a frown.

"Your Majesty's hands have already scabbed over and are growing new flesh; you must not scratch them."

Li Anqi glanced at Zhilan and remained obediently still.

He then turned to Xiao Shunzi and said, "Read it to me."

"Yes."

Xiao Shunzi was ordered to open the letter and read Li Anshu's letter.

He stammered and made many spelling mistakes, which made him look somewhat comical.

"...Sister, the goose is very well-liked in the Wu family, pretending to be the Queen Mother of the Wu family. No one in the Wu family dares to disobey the goose. Please be careful, sister..."

Li Anqi suppressed a laugh, having roughly understood what Li An had said in his letter.

Li Anshu came to let him know he was safe.

For the past few months, she has been confined to Tianchangyuan by Li Baoqin and has not seen Li Anshu for a long time.

Li Anqi looked down at his two hands, which were wrapped up like rice dumplings.

"Zhilan, how long will it take for my hand to recover?"

"A few days ago, the eldest young master sent someone to deliver a scar-repairing ointment. It can only be applied after the wound has healed. To fully recover, it will be at least after the Lantern Festival."

Li Anqi nodded.

She decided to visit Anshu only after her hand was fully healed, so as not to worry Anshu.

"Write a letter for me to Anshu in a little while, and tell her that I will go to the Wu residence to see her after the Lantern Festival."

Zhilan nodded in agreement.

After applying medicine and bandaging Li Anqi, Zhilan immediately wrote a letter and asked Xiaoshunzi to deliver it to him.

After injuring his hand, Li Anqi was incredibly bored.

Unable to draw, write, or turn the pages of a book, she ordered Xiao Shunzi to lead several eunuchs to dig a large hole in the ice of the pond in the Prince's mansion.

A fishing rod was set up on the bank, baited on the hook and attached to the fishing line, sinking to the bottom of the pond through a large hole in the ice.

Li Anqi sat on a bamboo chair on the shore, staring blankly at the large hole.

Liu Yun couldn't help but yawn.

"Your Majesty, the ice in the pond is so thick, are there really fish underneath?"

"Just because there's ice on the surface of the pool doesn't mean the bottom is also ice. Don't worry, as long as there's water, they can survive."

Besides, she even made a hole to let the fish breathe fresh oxygen, so it was only a matter of time before some fish took the bait.

Xiao Shunzi rushed over, bowed to Li Anqi, and took out a letter.

"Your Majesty, a letter has arrived from Madam Wu."

"You read it."

Xiao Shunzi opened the envelope and struggled to read the letter.

"...Sister, I have many things to attend to at the Wu residence, and I'm afraid Uncle won't have time to attend to you. Please don't come to the Wu residence yet. When you have time, I'll come to Prince Xiao's residence to find you, and then we sisters can get together..."

I listened to the contents of Ang Lee's letter.

Li Anqi's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a strange sensation.

This vague unease made her even more determined to visit Li Anshu after the Lantern Festival.

Seeing the fishing line move, Xiao Shunzi quickly put away the letter and went forward to pull up the fishing rod.

Seeing the fish take the bait, Li Anqi showed a slight joy and said to Liu Yun.

"Quick, go and get the grill and seasonings."

"Yes." Liu Yun replied with a smile and hurriedly returned to Fuying Garden.

Li Anqi stood up and watched as Xiao Shunzi pulled a silver carp ashore.

“You may be small in stature, but you’re quite capable,” Li Anqi said.

Xiao Shunzi chuckled and scratched the back of his head: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"

After saying that, Xiao Shunzi took out a dagger from the basket and began to remove the scales and internal organs from the silver carp.

Xiao Shunzi was working hard, completely unaware that someone had quietly walked up behind Li Anqi.

Li Anqi's vision suddenly went black.

Someone suddenly covered her eyes from behind.

The man behind him was burly and had strong, powerful arms.

Li Anqi could clearly sense that the other person was a man.

"Who?!"

Li Anqi asked, flustered.

Xiao Shunzi looked up, hurriedly put down the dagger in his hand, and stammered, "Young Master Zuo, Second Young Master Zuo!"

It's that madman Zuo Sinian again!

Li Anqi was furious.

She gritted her teeth and used all her strength to nudge his side with her elbow.

"hiss!"

Zuo Sinian took a step back in pain.

Li Anqi frowned and turned around.

Seeing Zuo Sinian clutching his side with one hand, his expression one of enduring pain, a roguish smile appeared on his face.

"Long time no see, Li Anqi!"
