Chapter 23: Trial Products, Royal Approval!
Now that the weather is so cold, everyone needs thermal underwear. Li Lizhi also wants to give them to others like her father, Li Shimin, and elder brother Li Chengqian. Xiao Ran is naturally not at a loss and considers it an early advertisement. It could be a lucrative venture if even the Datang royal family approves.
In feudal society, royal recognition is like a golden endorsement, even more influential than the reputation of a century-old store. It’s a trial run for the product. “Xiao Ran, if there’s anything I can do for you, feel free to ask. I won’t refuse within my capabilities. If I can’t handle it, I’ll seek help from my mother and father,” Li Lizhi offered.
Li Lizhi felt compelled to express her gratitude for Xiao Ran’s help.
This is precisely what Xiao Ran wanted – not asking directly but having Princess Changle volunteer to help.
“Don’t feel distant, Your Highness. Helping each other is natural in our relationship, and these are just small matters,” Xiao Ran reassures Li Lizhi.
Li Lizhi, feeling unsure how to respond, nodded in agreement.
“When can I receive them?” Li Lizhi asked eagerly, wanting to get the thermal underwear for others as soon as possible.
“Who are they for?” Xiao Ran inquired.
Li Lizhi hesitated, “Do I need to specify?”
“Because of differences in gender and sizes, it might be necessary,” Xiao Ran explained.
Li Lizhi agreed and provided details about her father and elder brother and even described the figures of her brothers.
Xiao Ran took notes with a pen, ensuring all details were recorded accurately.
“Is there anyone else?” Xiao Ran asked.
Li Lizhi wanted more, but it felt awkward to ask for too much. She settled for what she had already mentioned.
“That’s all!” Li Lizhi confirmed.
“Your Highness, should we also prepare for the Supreme Emperor?” Xiao Ran remembered Li Yuan’s presence.
Li Lizhi realized she had forgotten the Grand Emperor and added, “Grand Emperor’s size should be slightly smaller than my father’s.”
Xiao Ran nodded, put away his pen, and agreed to buy the items the next day. Li Lizhi didn’t mention payment to avoid making things awkward.
Li Lizhi bid goodnight and headed to her bedroom. Xiao Ran waited in the living room to avoid awkwardness and freshen up in the bathroom. Thinking about sharing a bed with Princess Changle, Xiao Ran decided it was time to rest.
“Early to bed, early to rise is good for health,” Xiao Ran muttered and returned to the bedroom.
Li Lizhi was already in bed, feeling warmer in the thermal underwear.
Xiao Ran got into bed and looked at Li Lizhi, saying, “Your Highness, good night!”
Li Lizhi responded, “I know!”
