The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

"Mm." Zhilan nodded.

After finishing her makeup, Li Anqi arrived at the main hall of Ning'an Manor.

Apart from Li Anxiu, Qiuyue, and Aunt Gao, everyone from the Jingguo Mansion was gathered here.

The group, dressed in coarse new clothes, looked at Li Anqi with tears in their eyes and smiles in their eyes.

"Qi'er, are you feeling better?" Li Miao asked.

Li Anqi nodded slightly and pursed his lips.

"I'm much better, thank you for your concern, Father."

Aunt Xia whispered to Li Miao, "Master has forgotten, Her Highness is now a concubine of Prince Xiao's mansion."

Li Miao hesitated for a second, then quickly patted his forehead.

Zuo Siyun helped Li Anqi to sit down at the round table and said kindly, "Your Majesty has just woken up and must be hungry. Please sit down, Your Majesty."

Li Anqi looked at the table full of home-style dishes, glanced at everyone, and gestured.

"Everyone sit down."

With smiles on their faces, everyone took their seats.

Li Ancai swung his legs back and forth and said in a soft voice, "It's been so long since Cai'er has eaten at the same table with Second Sister, this is wonderful!"

Li Miao lightly tapped him on the head, feigning annoyance, and said, "You should call her 'Your Majesty,' you have no manners!"

Ang Lee scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

Li Anqi smiled slightly: "There are no outsiders here, so it's alright."

Ang Lee grinned, his eyes curving into crescent moons.

Aunt Xia couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I originally thought Ning'an Manor was a desolate and barren place! I never imagined that before Lady Qi got married, she would have put in so much thought and left everyone a way out!"

Zuo Siyun said, "Who says otherwise! There are hundreds of acres of fertile land and dozens of farming households outside. Even if we have a dozen more mouths to feed, we will be set for life!"

Whether it was Li Anqi's imagination or not, she always felt that Zuo Siyun seemed like a different person.

The current Zuo Siyun no longer shows any trace of her harshness and arrogance; instead, she is kind and friendly.

“It’s easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Although I have left a way out for everyone, the Jingguo Mansion’s previous life was too luxurious. If you want to get used to the current life, I’m afraid you will have to suffer a bit,” Li Anqi said.

With red eyes and tears in her eyes, Li Miao said, "We've all suffered the hardships of imprisonment, beheading, and being sold into slavery! What's a little bit of suffering compared to that!"

Aunt Xia nodded and raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

"What's past is past. Now that we've survived, let's not dwell on the sadness," Zuo Siyun said.

Aunt Xia went from crying to laughing: "What the young mistress says is true."

"By the way, how did Your Highness injure your hand?"

Li Miao looked at Li Anqi's hands, which were wrapped in gauze, with worry in her eyes.

“I wanted to ask the other day, is Your Majesty’s hand injured? It pained me to see it,” Li Ancai said.

Li Anqi smiled easily: "I accidentally burned myself with the hand warmer earlier, but it's nothing serious, I'm almost fully recovered now."

"It must have been Liu Yun who messed up the job. You need to have a good talk with her when we get back," Li Miao said.

Liu Yun pouted, not daring to speak.

Li Anqi smiled and shook her head: "It was my own carelessness, it has nothing to do with Liuyun."

"Thanks to Her Majesty for spending a large sum of money at the human market that day to buy everyone back, preventing them from being scattered to various places. Speaking of which, how did Her Majesty come to have so much money?" Zuo Siyun asked.

Li Anqi paused.

"Oh... Before Prince Xiao left the capital, I borrowed some silver from him."

Li Miao nodded: "It seems that Prince Xiao dotes on the Empress... In that case, I can rest assured."

"Was the money for acquiring fertile land in Ning'an Village also borrowed from Prince Xiao by Your Highness?" Zuo Siyun continued to ask.

Li Anqi shook her head: "At that time, I had not yet entered the Prince Xiao's mansion, so how could the Prince have lent me money? I borrowed some money from Consort Qin and made a deal with the owner of Shanji Cloth Shop to earn it."

Just as Zuo Siyun was about to ask another question, Li Anqi spoke up.

"To save the Jingguo Mansion, Consort Qin went to Lord Zhang's residence to plead for mercy, but Lord Zhang imprisoned her in the prison for disobeying the imperial edict. After this matter is settled, I will go to the palace to plead with the Emperor to release Consort Qin."

A glint flashed in Zuo Siyun's eyes as she gently lifted Li Anqi's arm: "Thanks to Your Majesty."

Li Miao nodded and sighed, "If it weren't for Your Majesty, my Li family would probably be either dead or scattered long ago! How could we be sitting here together eating safely?"

Li Miao poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

He was overcome with grief and his eyes welled up with tears.

"I wonder how Shu'er is doing at the Wu family's house..."

Li Anqi remained silent for a moment.

"...After a while, I will visit An Shu at the Wu residence, and then we will return to Ning'an Manor together to reunite with everyone."

"it is good!"

"By the way, the eldest young master injured his leg somehow. The master asked him, but the eldest young master wouldn't say. Several doctors we've consulted all said that he's probably unable to..." Aunt Xia hesitated, wanting to continue but stopping herself.

When Li Anxiu was mentioned, everyone fell silent.

Especially Zuo Siyun, whose face was as white as a sheet of paper, her grief almost overflowing.

"Xiu'er is a child who always keeps his troubles to himself and never lets others worry."

Li Miao then spoke with Li Anqi.

"Xiu'er and Your Highness are very close. Your Highness should go and see him in a little while."

Li Anqi nodded, a hint of worry between his brows.

After dinner, it was already night.

Li Anqi arrived at Li Anxiu's room.

Hearing the door open, Li Anxiu slowly opened his eyes.

In just a few days, he visibly lost even more weight.

That dashing young man who once shone brightly on the racetrack is no more.

Li Anxiu lay weakly on the bed, his face and eyes revealing a sickly dejection.
