Chapter 82: Astonished Li Shimin, Seeing a Ghost!
Picking up the note, it said: ‘My adorable princess, remember to have your meals on time, even when alone! ❤️’ There’s nothing but love on the note, and below, there’s a cute smiling face.
Seeing the note, Li Lizhi couldn’t help but smile happily. It felt great. She looked at the covered bowls on the table, worried about them getting cold. Opening the lids, she smelled the delicious aroma. Bowls and chopsticks were ready nearby. Initially not hungry, she felt an appetite for the well-prepared and enticing meal.
Li Lizhi began eating, enjoying the delicious food, but it felt like someone was missing—the flavor of a shared meal. She couldn’t help but think of Xiao Ran, smiling foolishly…
At the Taiji Palace, Zhang Anan hurried into the palace, “Your Majesty, Noble Consort Wei requests an audience!” Li Shimin frowned, “What does she want now? I’m busy! Tell her to leave! I don’t want to see her now!”
Zhang Anan hesitated, “Your Majesty, you should meet her. Noble Consort Wei seems different today. You might regret it if you don’t see her.”
Li Shimin put down the memorials, curious. “Is that so? What’s going on?”
Zhang Anan insisted, “Your Majesty, I can’t describe it. You should meet her!”
Li Shimin agreed, “Let her in. I want to see what’s happening.”
As Nobel Concert Wei entered, Li Shimin, unable to see clearly from a distance, noticed she seemed unusual well and wearing lighter clothing, more suited for autumn than winter. Intrigued, he wanted to discover what had changed in Noble Consort Wei.
As Nobel Concert Wei approached, Li Shimin sensed that something was amiss. Nobel Concert Wei wore a subtle smile on her face, and as Li Shimin saw her clearly, his eyes widened in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes, questioning if he was seeing things. In broad daylight, a surreal feeling crept over him.
As Nobel Concert Wei slowly approached, Li Shimin’s gaze intensified. Nobel Concert Wei noticed his shocked expression, finding unprecedented satisfaction in her vanity. Determined, she acquired the cosmetics from the Lizheng Hall, regardless of the cost.
Even if it meant ten thousand silver taels, Nobel Concert Wei was willing. She relished her current appearance and the way others looked at her. “Your Majesty, I have seen you,” she saluted Li Shimin.
Li Shimin gestured for her to come closer, acknowledging her allure despite her slightly older age. She looked significantly younger, a delightful surprise. Nobel Concert Wei nodded, “Yes, Your Majesty.”
With a direct approach, she knelt beside Li Shimin, who couldn’t believe her flawless, delicate face. Li Shimin now understood why Zhang Anan had warned him he might regret not seeing her. He realized that, indeed, not seeing her was a missed opportunity.
Pleased with herself, Nobel Concert Wei feigned shyness, asking, “Your Majesty, why do you gaze at me like this?” After a prolonged silence, Li Shimin finally spoke, “Beloved Consort, what is going on?”
Wearing a faint smile, Nobel Concert Wei asked, “Your Majesty, do you like it?”
