Five years after her death, she awoke on the dragon bed.

Chapter 135 Do I look like a beast?

Murong seemed to be thinking: "I wouldn't say I'm disappointed, but someone like you would probably be difficult to teach."

Lou Suying said irritably, "What does Your Majesty mean by this?"

Is she difficult to teach?
She's clearly open-minded and optimistic, so why is she so hard to teach?
"You don't need to worry too much. With me here, even if our daughter is unruly, she will still be a filial child," Murong added.

Lou Suyi sneered inwardly, but showed it on her face.

He meant that he thought she was unruly, yet he still tried to glorify himself. But judging from his tone, he didn't seem like someone who would dislike his daughter.

That put her mind at ease.

She feared that he favored sons over daughters and would not want to look at his daughter after she gave birth to her.

Murong put his arm around Lou Suyi's shoulder: "Are you worried that your daughter is too stupid because she resembles you? Don't worry, you and my daughter are not much different. Even if the worst happens, the child will definitely grow up to be beautiful, and you don't need to worry about her not being able to get married in the future."

"What am I worried about?" Lou Suyi glared at Murong, forgetting his status at this moment, and retorted, "It would be bad if she were like His Majesty. I think if she were a daughter, it would be best if she were like me, with a lively and lovely personality. It would be terrible if she were as dull as His Majesty!"

Murong's eyes darkened: "You think I have a dull personality?"

Lou Suyi inwardly cursed, realizing she had blurted out the truth in a moment of carelessness.

"Well, what I meant was that His Majesty is very aloof, and I like His Majesty's aloofness the most. If His Majesty were as ordinary as other men, I wouldn't even look at him." Lou Suyi smiled and smoothed things over.

Murong said calmly, "Glib talk."

Lou Suying said with a slight embarrassment, "Everything I said is true. How is that being glib? Your Majesty's personality is so charming, I'm absolutely in love with you..."

She blushed as soon as she said that.

On the contrary, the young emperor seemed quite pleased, perhaps because he believed her fabricated story.

Lou Suying felt awkward at this point and quickly changed the subject: "Your Majesty, please go to sleep first. I need to make clothes for Your Majesty."

"Don't be busy tonight, it'll hurt your eyes. Come and rest with me." As Murong spoke, he picked up Lou Suying and carried her in his arms.

Lou Suyi thought that Murong had done the same thing to her as last night. Her face flushed red, and she wanted to persuade His Majesty the Emperor to be more restrained and spare her, the poor pregnant woman.

"Your Majesty..." she found it difficult to say.

Murong looked at her and said, "Speak your mind."

Lou Suying finally mustered up her courage and stammered, "Your Majesty should be more restrained. I...I am pregnant..."

Murong looked at Lou Suyi for a long time before finally understanding the deeper meaning of her words.

He looked at Lou Suyi meaningfully: "What exactly is going on in your head?"

Lou Suyi was taken aback.

"What do you think I would do to you? Do I look like a beast?" Murong pinched her cheek.

Lou Suyi couldn't help but recall what happened last night. His actions were no different from those of a beast. Did he not have any self-awareness at all?

"Isn't His Majesty a beast?" she muttered under her breath.

Murong leaned forward: "What did you just say?"

Lou Suying suddenly felt more confident: "I said Your Majesty has to attend to state affairs tomorrow, so please rest early." As long as he didn't touch her, everything was fine.

To her surprise, Murong seemed to be in a good mood tonight and pulled her aside to discuss naming the child.

Lou Suyi thought to herself that it was not yet certain whether her baby was a boy or a girl, so what was there to discuss?
"His Majesty can decide this matter; I have no objections," Lou Suyi replied dismissively.

Murong felt that the important matter of naming should be discussed and decided by both parents. He quickly thought of a few names and was about to discuss them with the little nun when he found that she had fallen asleep in the blink of an eye.

He stared intently at her sleeping face for a long time, but ultimately did not wake her.

When Lou Suyi woke up the next day, Murong had already left Xianfu Palace.

As soon as she got up, Jinshu came to serve her: "Consort De has arrived, as has Consort Ning, Consort Ling, Consort Tao, and Lady Wu. They are waiting outside for you, young lady."

Lou Suyi probably guessed that it was because Murong had stayed at Xianfu Palace for two consecutive nights, which aroused the jealousy of the concubines in the harem.

"Has Consort Hui arrived?" Lou Suyi asked.

"No, but more than a dozen distinguished guests have come this time." Jinshu stepped forward to help Lou Suyi wash up.

Lou Suyi guessed that there would be another heated debate later, but she was mentally prepared.

"Miss, please have breakfast before you meet these distinguished guests. The young prince is of utmost importance," Jinshu suggested in a low voice.

Lou Suyi thought that made sense.

Anyway, she has already offended everyone, and she and the child in her belly will be the targets of everyone's desire to get rid of her, so she still has to be careful later.

After having breakfast and going out, the group led by Consort Ning was already impatiently waiting.

Upon seeing Lou Suying appear with Jinshu's support, Consort De was the first to speak out: "Master, you really have quite the airs, making so many of us wait for you alone. Is it because you have His Majesty's favor that you dare to treat us so disrespectfully?"

What's most hateful is that she fell in love with two men in succession, but both men's hearts were stolen by Lou Suyi.

Even after all these years, Xie Zhijie still has designs on Lou Suyi, while Murong, with so many concubines in the harem, insists on living in the palace of a pregnant woman.

How could that damned nun be so hateful?

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I was truly unaware that you distinguished guests had arrived," Lou Suying quickly replied.

Jinshu followed up, "His Majesty specifically instructed me before he left to let the nun sleep until she woke up naturally, and that no one should disturb her. I dared not disobey the decree, which is why I did not wake the nun immediately."

Consort Ning, however, spoke gently and kindly, saying, "Since it is His Majesty's decree, it should naturally be obeyed. It is not the nun's fault. Consort De, please don't be so angry so early in the morning."

Consort De was surprised that Consort Ning would go against her. Wasn't this woman jealous of Lou Suyi?
“It’s normal for the nun to be sleepy while she’s pregnant.” Consort Ning looked at Lou Suyi’s big belly as she spoke. “I heard that if the belly is round, it’s likely to be a boy. There’s a high probability that the nun will have a prince this time.”

Consort De laughed sarcastically, "Anyone who didn't know better would think that Consort Ning had been pregnant before."

Wasn't she also an unfavored concubine?
Consort Ning frowned upon hearing this: "Did Consort De eat gunpowder today?"

Consort De looked away, unable to tolerate Consort Ning's hypocrisy. She was clearly jealous, yet pretended not to care.

If Consort Ning truly didn't care, why would she have come to Xianfu Palace so eagerly?

"It was my poor hospitality. Please don't be angry with me, esteemed guests," Lou Suyi quickly replied.

Consort De dropped the pretense and asked directly, "Since you are pregnant, can you please stop clinging to His Majesty? His Majesty is the man of all the sisters in the harem. What is the reason for you to still be clinging to His Majesty even while pregnant? Do you think you are so possessive that you expect His Majesty to remain chaste for you?"
