Chapter 17: The Empress Changsun Suspected!
Li Lizhi left the bedroom, and Yushu quickly approached, “Your Highness Princess!”
“Go to the Lizheng Hall to meet the queen’s mother!” Li Lizhi handed the food box to Yushu.
Yushu took the food box, feeling puzzled. Why didn’t Li Lizhi eat from the imperial dining room today and buy something from the bedroom?
Being clever, Yushu decided not to inquire further and played along with Li Lizhi’s actions.
“Your Highness, it’s getting colder now. Do you need to add more clothes before going?” Yushu reminded in a low voice.
“Is it colder than before?” Li Lizhi didn’t feel it.
“Yes, the other maids said the same thing.” Yushu was shivering.
Li Lizhi, unfazed by the cold, realized the effectiveness of the thermal underwear, much stronger than anticipated.
Li Lizhi looked at the purple thermal underwear in her hand and wanted to send it to Empress Zhangsun as soon as possible.
“Yushu, hurry up!” Li Lizhi urged.
“Yes, Your Highness the Princess!” Yushu trotted after Li Lizhi, carrying the food box.
The two arrived at the Lizheng Hall again. Although it was colder than before, Empress Zhangsun looked much better.
“My son, I have seen my mother!”
Empress Zhangsun smiled and nodded, “Lizhi, come here!”
Li Lizhi walked to the side of the bed, “Mother, how do you feel?”
“It’s much better. It’s very useful if you give it to your mother.” Empress Zhangsun patted the hot water bottle in her arms.
“As long as the queen’s mother likes it!”
After eating something before, Empress Zhangsun didn’t look as weak as before.
“Why did you bring a food box again? The queen’s mother has asked the imperial dining room to prepare it.”
“The queen mother in the imperial dining room has no appetite. Eat this!”
Li Lizhi was about to open the food box.
Empress Zhangsun is still looking forward to it.
“The fish soup and tomato scrambled eggs were deeply amazing to Empress Zhangsun.”
“It’s very cold, so don’t run back and forth. The Princess Mansion is not close to the Lizheng Palace.” Empress Zhangsun knew that it was even colder now.
“Mother, my son is not cold!” Li Lizhi said with a smile.
“You child, how can you not be cold on such a cold day?”
Li Lizhi took Empress Zhangsun’s hand, reaching inside her clothes, and said, “Mother, feel this dress. You won’t be cold after putting it on!”
Empress Zhangsun was somewhat surprised; the thermal underwear felt good. “Lizhi, where did this come from?”
Li Lizhi blinked and said, “Did you meet an expert before? This is what he gave you.”
Empress Zhangsun understood that Li Lizhi didn’t want to reveal too much. “The queen’s mother knows!”
Li Lizhi took out the purple thermal underwear that had been prepared, saying, “Mother, this is for you, the same as mine.”
Empress Zhangsun touched it. Although the material was unfamiliar, she knew it was extraordinary. “It seems that our Lizhi has met an expert,” she said with a smile.
Li Lizhi smiled happily, “I’ll put on the clothes later, but let’s eat something first.”
Li Lizhi took out the ribs prepared by Xiao Ran, and the aroma was even stronger than the previous fish soup. The maids and eunuchs of the Lizheng Hall immediately noticed the enticing smell, causing a chorus of saliva-swallowing sounds. Yushu, puzzled, wondered where Li Lizhi got the food. As for the expert mentioned, Yushu hadn’t seen anyone fitting that description.
“The imperial dining room can’t make this. Girl, who made this?” Empress Zhangsun sensed something was amiss.
