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

Chapter 153 Is it meaningful for Your Majesty to humiliate me like this?

Lou Suyi stared at it for a while, thinking that the emperor's calligraphy was beautiful and his heart was more magnanimous than hers, a mere woman.

She was thinking of her own benefit, while he was thinking of the world and the people.

It must be said that such an emperor deserves respect.

"Your Majesty's handwriting is truly beautiful," Lou Suyi exclaimed sincerely.

Murong raised an eyebrow and looked at the little nun: "Write a few words for me to see."

Upon hearing this, Lou Suyi immediately waved her hand: "I can't do it. I can only recognize a few characters at most. My handwriting would be too ugly."

While she was still unmarried in the Lou family, she wanted to go to school, but Aunt Ke forbade it. Aunt Ke looked down on her, thinking that as a concubine's daughter, she would be destined to be someone else's concubine anyway, so learning to read and write would be useless, and there was no point in bothering her.
She learned some characters by peeking through the window.

Murong stepped aside, leaving no room for argument: "You come."

Lou Suyi blushed and said, "I...I can't."

She suspected that Murong was humiliating her in this way.

Murong insisted that she write it down, so under Murong's watchful gaze, she reluctantly wrote down her name.

She learned to read by herself, but she never had the chance to practice. Aunt Ke's room didn't even have the Four Treasures of the Study. Sometimes she would write her name on the ground with a twig.

Murong chuckled as he looked at Lou Suyi's crooked handwriting.

Lou Suying felt ridiculed and immediately became furious: "I've already said I don't know how, Your Majesty, is it meaningful to humiliate me like this?!"

Murong looked at the bristling little nun and said, "I did not humiliate you. It's not a big deal if you can't write. I will teach you myself in the future."

Lou Suying looked at the emperor, who was speaking gently and with a hint of doubt: "Is Your Majesty serious?"

Doesn't he feel like he's wasting his talents?

"I happen to have some free time recently. Since you're going to learn, let's start now."

Murong was a man of action. He corrected Lou Suyi's posture in holding the brush and then earnestly taught her to write.

It was only then that Lou Suying realized she wasn't cut out for studying. Murong taught her for a full hour, but her handwriting was still atrocious.

"Maybe I shouldn't learn it?" Lou Suyi asked cautiously, worried that Murong would be angry.

Murong's expression was serious: "Learning will be useful to you, so you can't give up halfway."

Lou Suyi touched her nose. Wasn't she worried that her teacher couldn't stand such a stupid student as her?

She was extremely fortunate to have the emperor as her teacher.

She stopped being coy and started practicing calligraphy seriously, and time flew by.

She spent the entire day practicing calligraphy, except for mealtimes. By evening, her arms ached, and her handwriting was barely legible.

Murong massaged her sore wrists: "You've made great progress today, and you're quite talented. Let's continue tomorrow."

Lou Suyi felt a warmth in her heart as she watched him carefully massage her wrist.

In her life, there were very few people who treated her well. One was Qi Yan, and the abbess of Lianhua Temple also treated her well. Empress Dowager Chen was kind to her because she had value to her.

The last person to treat her well was Murong.

This was the first time someone had massaged her when she was unwell; Aunt Ke had always left her to fend for herself when she was sick. "What's wrong? Did I use too much force and hurt you?" Murong asked, seeing the little nun suddenly quiet down, and lightened the pressure on her hands.

Su Yi shook off her complicated emotions and withdrew her hand: "No, the pressure was just right. His Majesty massaged it a few times, and my hand stopped hurting."

She actually hoped he wouldn't be so nice to her; she was the kind of person who hated it when others were nice to her.

Murong was unaware of Lou Suying's complicated feelings.

The next morning, he woke Lou Suyi up and continued to teach her to write.

Once he had taught her enough, he let her practice on her own, occasionally offering a few pointers while he read a book to pass the time.

Lou Suyi got tired of writing and turned to look at Murong.

Seeing him engrossed in his book, I curiously peeked over, assuming he was reading a military strategy book or something similar, only to discover it was a book about postpartum care for women.

She was a little surprised and couldn't help but glance at Murong a few more times.

At this moment, Murong looked over and said, "Don't be lazy, keep practicing."

Lou Suyi looked at his serious expression and then thought of the books he was reading; her expression was indescribable.

Inside Shou'an Palace, Empress Dowager Chen learned that the Emperor had stayed at Xianfu Palace for two consecutive nights after the sealing of the imperial seal, but she was not used to it.

“After His Majesty takes a break, he stays at Xianfu Palace for all his needs. This shows that His Majesty does not stay away from the inner palace, but rather he is looking for someone who can win His Majesty’s heart and soul,” Fang Ruo said with a smile.

Empress Dowager Chen was a little worried: "Su Yi is pregnant now, the emperor should visit the other concubines in the harem."

“His Majesty is a man of his own mind and is unwilling to favor other concubines. No one can persuade him otherwise.” Fangruo felt that only Miss Lou in the harem could make His Majesty take the initiative to approach her.

Empress Dowager Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Since the Emperor will listen to what Su Yi says, let Su Yi go and persuade the Emperor."

Fang Ru was speechless for a moment: "It was fine before we didn't know about the relationship between Miss Lou and His Majesty, but now that we know Miss Lou is also His Majesty's woman, asking Miss Lou to talk to His Majesty about this kind of thing might make Miss Lou feel uncomfortable."

No woman wants to share her man with other women. Even if Miss Lou is magnanimous, she couldn't calmly advise His Majesty to favor other concubines, could she?
"Although I do like plain clothes, she can't possibly have the emperor all to herself. Now that she's entered the harem, she should know that the emperor can't belong to her alone," Empress Dowager Chen said dismissively.

Fangruo thought for a moment and then advised, "Even if you want Miss Lou to persuade His Majesty to bestow his favors equally, it should be done after Miss Lou gives birth to the imperial heir, so as not to cause her to give birth prematurely due to the stress."

Empress Dowager Chen nodded, deciding to bring up the matter with Lou Suyi after the New Year.

On New Year's Eve, Murong finally left Xianfu Palace.

He originally wanted to have the reunion dinner with Lou Suyi on New Year's Eve, but Lou Suyi felt that she would give birth in two months and would rather stay in Xianfu Palace. She thought that the child was the most important thing and that missing a reunion dinner would not have any impact.

Xie Zhijie and Qi Yan both wanted to take this opportunity to see Lou Suyi, but when they learned that Lou Suyi did not show up, they felt a little empty.

Lou Suyi was unaware of the situation elsewhere. She busied herself ordering people to put up the couplet written by Murong in front of Xianfu Palace, feeling that this was the only way to create a New Year's atmosphere.

She practiced calligraphy all day as usual until dinner time, when Murong arrived.

"Isn't Your Majesty supposed to have a banquet? Why are you back?" Lou Suyi was a little surprised.

Murong replied calmly, "I've returned to have a reunion dinner with you. We'll attend the banquet after dinner."

He stepped forward to help Lou Suyi to a seat, and seeing her staring intently at him, he couldn't help but smile: "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty is so kind," Lou Suyi said, quickly giving him a kiss on the cheek.
