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

Chapter 152 Sewing the Emperor's Mouth shut
Consort De was surprised that Jiqing would send gifts. She watched Jiqing walk away and stared blankly at the several large boxes of gifts.

Seeing her listless appearance, Blueberry pretended to be relaxed and said, "Your Majesty only sent a bowl of stew, yet you received several boxes of rewards. This is a good thing, so why are you not happy, Your Majesty?"

Consort De sighed softly, "What I want is His Majesty's person and heart. What use are these inanimate objects? Do you think His Majesty likes Lou Suyi?"

This stumped Blueberry.

"This servant believes that a man like His Majesty has no interest in romantic love. Perhaps His Majesty has feelings for Abbess Kongchen, but that is only because of the life-saving grace. In this respect, Abbess Kongchen has the upper hand," Blueberry analyzed rationally.

Consort De held a different view: "I have served His Majesty for several years and know his temperament well. If he didn't have feelings for Lou Suyi, it's unlikely that he would still favor her after she became a nun. I think he does like Lou Suyi."

Although she was very reluctant to admit the truth, after Lou Suyi was framed and the evidence pointed to her, Murong came to confront her immediately.

Even though he knew she wasn't the murderer, he still dragged her into it, just to help Lou Suyi find the real culprit.

All he cared about was Lou Suyi, disregarding the years of affection she had shared with him.

Right now, he's just using these cold, hard coins to appease her.

Seeing that Consort De seemed to have entered a dead end, Blueberry advised, "His Majesty is the ruler of the world, and there are so many concubines in the harem. It is normal for him to be concerned about one or two of them. Your Highness, please don't take it to heart. Your Highness, please don't be discouraged and boost the morale of others while diminishing your own prestige."

Consort De chuckled helplessly: "I also hope that I am overthinking things, but all signs indicate that His Majesty cares about Lou Suyi."

Previously, Murong would try to conceal it, but ever since he revealed that Lou Suyi was pregnant with the imperial heir, Murong has been staying overnight at Xianfu Palace every now and then.

He clearly didn't like to move around in the harem before, so why did Lou Suyi stay in Xianfu Palace every night after she became pregnant with the imperial heir?
This clearly shows that his heart is biased towards Lou Suyi.

"Even if His Majesty is currently more concerned about Master Kongchen, what is there to fear? In terms of beauty, Your Highness is no less capable. In terms of talent, Your Highness is even more so. A man like His Majesty needs a capable and virtuous wife, and no mistress in the harem is more suitable to stand by His Majesty's side than Your Highness. In the end, the one who laughs last laughs best. Master Kongchen is currently in the lead, but she is merely a target for everyone in the harem." Blueberry said dismissively.

Consort De thought to herself that this made sense.

Since the news of Lou Suyi's pregnancy spread, she has been framed twice. Although she escaped both times, it's impossible for her to get away unscathed every time.

Lou Suyi's luck will eventually run out.

Yunmei then said, "This servant always felt that Master Kongchen was a bit strange. Back then, everyone said that Master Kongchen fell into a sea of ​​fire, and there were so many eyewitnesses. Since it was a situation where death was certain, why did Master Kongchen reappear five years later, completely unharmed? Could Master Kongchen be an evil spirit?"

Blueberry's eyes flickered slightly, and she lowered her voice, saying, "Has Your Highness ever considered using this to spread rumors that are detrimental to Abbess Kongchen?"

Consort De's expression was indifferent, because she was a modern person who had traveled from the past. If she could travel from the modern era to ancient times, it was not surprising that Lou Suying could be resurrected.

However, in ancient times, people like Lou Suyi were considered evil spirits.

"No rush. There are plenty of people who hate Lou Suyi, so why should I be in such a hurry to make a move? I'd rather wait until Lou Suyi falls from grace before I kick her while she's down. Right now, she's in the Emperor's favor and has His Majesty protecting her. Doing too much would only be detrimental to me. Who knows if there won't be another impatient Qiao Shi who's eager to harm Lou Suyi and the imperial heir in her womb?" Consort De said with a burning gaze.

Cloudberry and blueberry exchanged a glance, both agreeing with their master's idea.

If someone like Qiao Shi is caught red-handed, the entire Qiao family will be raided. Unless you have absolute certainty, you shouldn't act rashly, or you'll end up with your family being wiped out.

After Lady Qiao was executed, the harem suddenly became quiet.

The day quickly came to the 26th, the day the emperor conferred the imperial seal, and Murong finally had some free time. He went to Xianfu Palace and saw Lou Suying warmly greeting him.

He raised an eyebrow: "You knew I would come?"

"His Majesty will surely come to visit the child today after bestowing the imperial seal." Lou Suyi knew how much he loved the child in her womb, so she replied matter-of-factly.

Murong Shen glanced at her and said, "I can also come and see you while I'm at it."

Lou Suyi thought the emperor was bad at speaking, and it would be better if he didn't have that mouth.

She muttered a few complaints to herself, then took Murong's arm and went to the study.

"Why did you bring me to the study? You don't look like a studious person."

As soon as Murong opened his mouth, Lou Suyi wanted to sew his mouth shut again.

Just as she was hesitating whether to tell him to shut up, she saw the young emperor look at her pregnant belly: "Could it be that you want to cultivate your child's love of learning through prenatal education?"

Lou Suyi said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty, please don't make wild guesses. I would like to ask Your Majesty to write a couplet."

Murong was somewhat surprised: "There is no custom of putting up couplets in the palace."

“The New Year should always have a festive atmosphere. I think putting up couplets is a way to express our good wishes for the coming year. Since Your Majesty is here, could you please write a couplet for me? It would be very festive.” Lou Suyi said, diligently grinding ink on the side.

"You certainly know how to think. Do you know how many people want my calligraphy?" Murong looked at the little nun with a half-smile.

Lou Suyi hadn't thought about this issue before. It was only because Yan Hui said that Murong's calligraphy was good that she wanted Murong to write a couplet to put up.

Suddenly an idea came to her: "Well then, since Your Majesty is here, why don't you write a few more couplets for me?"

She might be able to resell a few of them at a high price. If she put them outside the palace to sell, who knows how much silver the emperor's calligraphy could fetch.

Murong had no idea what the little nun was planning, but since she had spoken up, he couldn't bear to see her disappointed, so he decided to write a few pictures for her.

"What should the couplet say?" Murong asked the little nun.

"Write one for promotion, another for wealth, and yet another for a house full of children and grandchildren. Your Majesty is idle anyway, so why not write ten couplets for me?" Lou Suyi pressed her advantage.

Murong looked over and asked suspiciously, "What do you need so many couplets for?"

"Of course, I'll write as many couplets as possible while I'm still favored because of my son. Who knows, maybe next year I'll fall out of favor and His Majesty won't visit Xianfu Palace anymore. If I prepare more, I won't have to worry about couplets next year," Lou Suyi replied without any shame.

Murong scoffed and quickly wrote down a couplet.

Lou Suyi stepped forward to take a look and saw that the first line of the couplet read "Welcoming the New Year, the land is beautiful and splendid," the second line read "Farewell to the old year, the people are at peace and tranquil," and the horizontal scroll read "Universal celebration."
