Chapter 27: Lipstick for Princess Changle!
“This is lipstick. Apply it on your lips to prevent dryness and to add a glossy finish for a better look,” Xiao Ran explained.
Li Lizhi also knew that her lips tend to get chapped in winter. Because she trusted Xiao Ran, Li Lizhi cooperated willingly.
After applying the lipstick, Xiao Ran looked at the vibrant lips with satisfaction. “Done!”
Li Lizhi rushed into the bathroom to check herself in the mirror and noticed a significant difference.
Li Lizhi walked out with a smile, “I like it!”
Xiao Ran handed the lipstick to Li Lizhi, “Keep it with you. Use it when your lips feel dry for a little moisture.”
“Okay!” Li Lizhi took the lipstick, “I need to go quickly.”
Xiao Ran nodded, “Alright, Your Highness, take your time!”
Li Lizhi left the bedroom with breakfast in hand. Xiao Ran realized it was time to go shopping.
“Thank you, Your Highness the Princess!”
Yushu, who had been with Li Lizhi since childhood, felt more like a sister than a servant. Though it wasn’t snowing, the wind was still cold.
Li Lizhi felt the benefit of the lipstick more outside Xiao Ran’s home. Li Lizhi also wanted Empress Zhangsun to try it. It seemed like a good product. Soon, they reached the Lizheng Hall. Empress Zhangsun had already gotten up and looked much better.
“Son pays respects to the Queen Mother!”
Li Lizhi could tell Empress Zhangsun had improved.
“The imperial doctor came this morning and said my condition has improved greatly,” Empress Zhangsun informed.
Li Lizhi was delighted and asked, “Mother, do you still feel cold at night?”
Empress Zhangsun shook her head, praising the warmth of the clothes and the hot water bottle Li Lizhi provided.
Li Lizhi took the food box from Yushu and sat next to Empress Zhangsun, embracing her. Empress Zhangsun mentioned how comfortable she felt and how her frostbite was healing.
Li Lizhi was grateful to Xiao Ran for his thoughtful gestures. She took the food box from Yushu.
Empress Zhangsun smiled, “It’s early morning; why bring a food box?”
