Tang Dynasty：Live with princess Changele, Li Er is going crazy - Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Milk Oatmeal Porridge!

Seeing Li Lizi carrying the food box and a large pile of things that Noble Consort Wei didn’t recognize, she decided it was time to leave.

Noble Consort Wei knew that Li Lizhi had something to do with Empress Zhangsun, so it was inconvenient for her to stay here. She said, “Sister, I won’t disturb you and Lizhi as a Consort!”

Li Lizi, hearing that Noble Consort Wei was about to leave, quickly held her arm and said, “Noble Consort, don’t leave. I won’t disturb you, and I’m sure you’ll also like the nice things I brought.”

“Really?” Noble Consort Wei also became interested.

“First, let’s eat something!” Li Lizi urged, and Xiu Niang took the food box from Yushu.

Empress Zhangsun smiled and said, “Lizhi brought some nice things; sister, you’ll like them.”

Noble Consort Wei nodded, and they all sat down. Breakfast was light, usually consisting of porridge and side dishes.

Looking at the milky white porridge, it seemed quite appetizing. Noble Consort Wei sniffed it and said, “It still has a faint milky fragrance!”

Li Lizhi nodded and handed the porridge to Empress Zhangsun and Noble Consort Wei, saying, “This is milk oatmeal porridge, very good! Try it!”

Empress Zhangsun offered the porridge to Noble Consort Wei, saying, “Try it!”

“Good!” Noble Consort Wei thought it was delicious.

Empress Zhangsun, trying this porridge for the first time, nodded in satisfaction. She has eaten Li Lizhi’s food many times recently, and it always met her expectations. As for Noble Consort Wei, she was not calm. The oatmeal and milk aroma fermented in her mouth, and she couldn’t believe porridge could be so delicious.

“This… Who made this?” Noble Consort Wei asked, surprised by the unexpected flavor.

“It’s a mysterious chef,” Li Lizhi said with a smile.

Understanding that Lizhi didn’t want to reveal more, Noble Consort Wei stopped asking. She couldn’t help but nod repeatedly as she carefully tasted the delightful porridge.

Curious about the sweetness, she asked, “What is this sweet flavor?”

“This is made with starch during the porridge cooking process, making it thicker and enhancing the taste,” Li Lizhi explained.

Curiosity satisfied, Noble Consort Wei continued to enjoy the delightful breakfast. The flavor of brown sugar in the porridge disrupted the unique aroma of milk and oatmeal.

Li Lizhi shook her head. She forgot to inquire after sipping the porridge several times.

“I don’t know!” Li Lizhi felt a bit awkward.

Noble Consort Wei also grasped the situation, understanding what Empress Zhangsun had previously mentioned about the taste. Empress Zhangsun used to eat leftovers alone, but this time, it was just enough for her and Noble Consort Wei.

“Unexpectedly, eggs could be so delightful!” Noble Consort Wei commented while savoring the food.

“Glad you like it!”

After finishing, Noble Consort Wei remarked, “Lizhi, did you use something special on your face and lips? It looks different and very appealing.”

Li Lizhi felt delighted at Noble Consort Wei’s words.

“Wait and see, Your Majesty!” Li Lizhi gestured to Yushu, “Bring the items over!”

“Yes, Your Royal Highness!”

All the prepared items were brought over, and the two queens curiously examined the uniquely packaged products.

Li Lizhi picked up the lipstick, saying, “Empress, it’s called lipstick, and that’s what I used.”

“I see!” Noble Consort Wei thought, “This is a good thing, too!”

“After applying it, it looks good, but it also moisturizes and repairs the skin, relieves dry lips, keeping them hydrated and eliminating dryness-induced cracks.”

Noble Consort Wei was surprised and subconsciously touched her slightly chapped lips, especially noticeable in the winter.

“In winter, it’s even more necessary,” Li Lizhi said, approaching Noble Consort Wei, “Your Majesty, don’t move; I’ll apply it for you.”

“In winter, it’s even more necessary,” Li Lizhi said, approaching Noble Consort Wei, “Your Majesty, don’t move. I’ll apply it for you.”

Noble Consort Wei, eager to try, agreed, “Okay!”

Quickly applied, Empress Zhangsun signaled the maid to bring a small bronze mirror. Noble Consort Wei’s lips looked much better than before.

Li Lizhi waved her hand, saying, “Use mine.”

Then she took out a small mirror Xiao Ran had bought at a two-dollar store.
