"Hmm? Insomniac? Your description is right. Why are you asking this?”Li Lizhi asked in confusion.
"Here, this is for you. Use it as a pillow and I guarantee that you'll sleep soundly at night!”Li Chongyi threw the sleeping pillow that he had thrown at Li Lizhi.
Li Lizhi caught the two-foot-long and one-foot-wide pillow and was stunned.
Previously, because she had accepted Li Chongyi's gift, she had assumed that Li Chongyi liked her. But today, Li Chongyi had the audacity to barge into her bedroom. However, what made her feel strange was that from Li Chongyi's expression and tone of voice, she ruled out the possibility of him stealing women. Hence, she could not understand why Li Chongyi would take such a huge risk.
However, when she saw the pillow, Li Lizhi felt all kinds of emotions. It turned out that he knew that she had absent-mindedness and came to give her a pillow.
This fool took such a big risk just to give her a pillow. How could he be caught?
If a pillow could cure absent-mindedness, what was the point of having a royal doctor?
Moreover, what was the use of giving him more things, let alone a pillow? She would marry someone sooner or later.
"Hey, actually…actually, although I gave Xia Xi a hint, if the people from the palace come looking for you, I will still cover for you.”After Li Lizhi said this, she felt a little regretful and quickly tried to salvage the situation."I'm a woman, my reputation is important.”
"Alright, alright, don't explain. Hmph, you were the one coughing behind the screen today, right? I haven't settled the score with you yet. You cheated 30% of my perfume workshop. Just wait and see. I'll teach you a lesson.”Li Chongyi pretended to be angry and said,"We'll meet again."”
"It's not me! I didn't even go to Imperial Mother's chambers today…Fine, you're deliberately tricking me!”Li Lizhi only reacted after she finished speaking. Li Chongyi did not mention Empress Zhangsun at all, but she had taken the initiative to tell him. However, after thinking about it, she realized that Li Chongyi should have guessed it because she had recognized Li Chongyi through his voice. Although she had met Li Chongyi before, this was the first time they had spoken.
After Li Chongyi left, Li Lizhi lit the candles again, and the room was lit up again.
"Ah, so beautiful! What exquisite workmanship. She didn't know what was inside. It was so soft and comfortable to touch.”Even if it was just a modern pillow, it was still high-tech in Li Lizhi's eyes.
How could the workmanship not be good? It was smashed by a sewing machine! How could the pillow not be beautiful? It was a flower that was dyed with modern printing and dyeing technology. There was also a fabric made of pure cotton. Although it did not feel as smooth as silk, it was softer. There was also an exquisite zipper. After studying it for a long time, Li Lizhi realized that as long as she pulled it gently, she could open a hole in the pillow. It was simply a masterpiece.
There was also the fragrance emitted by the pillow, which made her feel relaxed and happy.
Li Lizhi, who didn't care much about the pillow before, realized that it was a treasure.
Initially, Li Lizhi was worried that she might not be used to sleeping on such a soft pillow. However, she fell asleep after lying down for a while.
When she woke up, the sky was already bright. She slept for a full four and a half hours.
She remembered that she had a very long dream. In the dream, she was taking a bath and heard footsteps. At first, she thought it was Xia Xi, but she did not expect it to be a man. At that time, she was extremely afraid. However, the moment the man opened his mouth, she could tell that he was Li Chongyi, whom she had met once through the screen today.
At that time, she was scared out of her wits. However, she did not expect that after Li Chongyi came, he would start playing with Xiaobai. It was indeed a dream. Just like in the past, there were always many unreasonable parts in the stories in dreams. For example, there was once when she dreamed that someone was chasing her with a knife. She ran as fast as she could and actually flew up…
The more Li Lizhi thought about it, the more she found the dream interesting. As she thought about it, she couldn't help but laugh. However, as she laughed, Li Lizhi was stunned because she saw the pillow at the head of the bed.
Suddenly, she realized that this was not a dream. This had really happened.
She didn't know if he had escaped.
At this moment, Xia Xi walked in." Princess, you're awake. Ah, Princess, you look so good today." Just nice, the imperial kitchen just sent it over…"
"Xia Xi, you eat first, I'm going to pay my respects to mother.”
After that, Li Lizhi washed up and went to see Empress Zhangsun. However, before she left, she hid the pillow that Li Chongyi had given her in the cupboard.
She was a very careful person. She was worried that if others knew about this pillow, she would not be able to explain its origin.
Li Lizhi didn't need to report to Empress Zhangsun's bedchamber, and her journey was smooth. Li Lizhi was about to knock on the door when she heard a lazy voice from inside."Empress, my silver, you have to compensate me. That is a total of fifty taels of silver.”
"Hmph, it's not like I took your silver. You can go find whoever took it.”Empress Zhangsun said.
"But that was stolen by the people in your palace. The people in the palace are all your subordinates, right? Who knows if you were the one who instigated it."
At this time, Li Shimin shouted,"Li Chongyi, do you want to be beaten again?"”
"Alright, alright, it's my fault. I have a head that needs to be beaten up, okay?”As he spoke, Li Chongyi muttered,"They only know how to gang up on others."”
"Humph, stop being so sarcastic. Don't think that I don't know that you've earned a lot of money from selling Qu Yuanli. You've also obtained more than five hundred mu of Cheng Zong's fertile land and two beautiful courtesans, Ling Wu.”Li Shiming was telling Li Chongyi that everything about him was under his control. Of course, if it wasn't for the gunpowder, Li Shimin wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to Li Chongyi.
" Your Majesty, I'm innocent. I swear I didn't even touch a finger of those two prostitutes. I'm absolutely loyal to the princess…"
