NOVEL WEB Chapter 81: Shocked! The four noble Nobel Consorts gathered together! “Ma’am, those are summer clothes. Isn’t it a bit chilly to wear them now?” Wei Yao whispered.
Although the sky looks clear, it’s winter, and the wind can still make one shiver.
Noble Consort Wei smiled, “We have thermal underwear now. I’m not cold. Go get it!”
With thermal underwear, the winter beauty is no longer freezing.
After assisting Noble Consort Wei in changing, Wei Yao adjusted her hairstyle and checked her makeup.
With a smile, Wei Yao remarked, “Ma’am, I think these clothes are unsuitable.”
“Oh? How so?”
“Previously, these were just right, but now, ma’am looks much younger, and these don’t seem fitting.”
Noble Consort Wei chuckled, pleased with Wei Yao acknowledging her youthfulness.
“Well said. It seems I need a new set of clothes. These are no longer suitable!” Noble Consort Wei said with a smile.
With a low status in the Wei family of Chang’an, Wei Yao was fortunate to catch Noble Consort Wei’s attention. Leaving Qianxiang Palace, Noble Consort Wei displayed a confident smile.
She said, “The nearest is Consort Yang’s palace. Let’s go there…”
Noble Consort Wei, Consort Yang, Consort Yin, and Consort Yan constituted the four principal consorts. Noble Consort Wei, from the Wei family of Changan, held the top position.
Consort Yang, originally from the Sui Dynasty’s royal family, now found little benefit in her lineage. The other three couldn’t compete with Noble Consort Wei, second only to Empress Changsun in the harem.
Approaching Consort Yang’s palace, voices from inside indicated a lively atmosphere. Entering Noble Consort, Wei discovered the other three consorts present.
Noble Consort Wei’s lips curved slightly, a hint of smugness. Consort Yang, Consort Yin, and Consort Yan’s smiles stiffened upon seeing Noble Consort Wei’s face. Their attempts at greeting got stuck in their throats.
Noble Consort Wei’s expression left them dumbfounded, a look of disbelief on their faces. Noble Consort Wei enjoyed their shocked reactions, not minding that Li Lizhi and Empress Changsun had used her in the past.
The Consort Wei did not care. She liked seeing the other three’s astonished expressions.
“All three sisters are here!” Noble Consort Wei smiled.
She entered the palace with a smile, leaving the three momentarily stunned.
Regaining their composure, Consort Yang smiled, “What a coincidence! Sister was just about to invite you to sit!”
Nobel Consort Yangshu pulled Noble Consort Wei Gui to sit down. Consort Yin and Consort Yan remained silent, staring fixedly at Noble Consort Wei’s face. There was a feeling of living in a surreal situation. Nobel Consort Wei was very pleased.
“Sister, how did you do it…” Nobel Consort Yin couldn’t help but ask.
Noble Consort Yangshu also chimed in, “Yes! Sister, you suddenly look ten years younger! As sisters, don’t keep it to yourself. Teach us a few things, too!”
Consort Yin nodded, “Sister, how did you do it?”
Noble Consort Wei smiled, “It’s nothing. It’s from the empress’s side.”
This matter couldn’t be kept a secret, and Nobel Consort Wei didn’t see the need to hide it.
“The empress?” Consort Yin asked eagerly.
Noble Consort Wei nodded, “Exactly, it’s from the empress. Princess Changle even did my makeup…”
Upon hearing this, Nobel Consort Yang Shu and the others became unsettled and wanted to see for themselves. Nobel Consort Wei’s transformation was astounding, akin to seeing her from ten years ago.
The display of the miraculous change reached its peak, and Noble Consort Wei saw no point in lingering. The others, too preoccupied, had their minds set on the Lizheng Hall.
Having flaunted enough, Noble Consort Wei didn’t linger. The others were too absorbed in their thoughts and fixed their minds on the Lizheng Hall. Leaving Consort Yangshu’s palace, Noble Consort Wei prepared to visit Taiji Palace to see Li Shimin. Her face bore an undisguised smile.
Back in the bedroom, Li Lizhi found it empty. Tentatively called out for Xiao Ran, but there was no response. Checking the bedroom and finding nothing, she moved to the living room. Noticing things on the table and a note, Li Lizhi felt a warm flow in her heart…
