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

Chapter 154 Fighting for a man who doesn't love her for a lifetime
Murong smiled faintly and remained silent.

Lou Suyi originally wanted to have a reunion dinner with everyone in Xianfu Palace, without distinguishing between master and servant, but Murong's sudden arrival meant that the plan had to be abandoned.

Granny Fan prepared a large table of dishes, and when serving them, she whispered to Lou Suyi, "His Majesty instructed this old servant this morning that he would come over to have New Year's Eve dinner with you tonight, Miss."

Lou Suyi looked at Murong, whose thin lips parted slightly: "You have no relatives or friends in the palace, and it was I who kept you in the palace. On such a reunion day as the New Year, I should be having New Year's Eve dinner with you. Are you so moved that you want to cry?"

Lou Suying, who had been genuinely touched, instantly became expressionless. She replied with a forced smile, "Yes, I'm very touched, but I won't cry."

If she ever feels any emotion towards this man again, she's a dog!
Seeing the little nun's stern face, Murong kept serving her food, asking, "Is the food not to your liking?"

Lou Suyi replied with a fake smile, "No, His Majesty's handsome face is so appealing, how could it not be to your liking?"

Murong Xinran accepted the little nun's praise: "Since my face is so appealing, you might as well take a second look."

Lou Suyi was disgusted. He must have realized she was just joking, but he took advantage of it. How come she never knew he was so shameless?
After having dinner, Murong was about to leave Xianfu Palace. Lou Suyi saw him off briefly before stopping.

To her surprise, Murong turned to her and said, "The banquet may not end for a while, and I may not be back until later. You don't necessarily have to wait for me."

Lou Suyi was completely bewildered. She hadn't intended to wait for him at all, but since he had said that, how could she not wait?

"It's windy outside, don't go out. I know you're reluctant to leave me, I'll try to come back as soon as possible," Murong said to himself.

Lou Suyi repeatedly replied, "Then I won't see Your Majesty off. It's a dark and windy night, Your Majesty, please take care."

When Murong heard the phrase "dark night and high winds" come out of the little nun's mouth, she always felt that it sounded rather jarring.

He said no more and led his imperial entourage away.

Lou Suying took a bath early in the morning and didn't practice calligraphy that evening. Instead, she picked up the postpartum care book that Murong hadn't finished reading and started flipping through it. Luckily, the young emperor was reading it with great interest, but she just kept yawning.

But she cherished her body the most and wanted to recover well during her postpartum period.

She only watched for a while before feeling sleepy.

Because of what Murong said before leaving, she yawned repeatedly but still resisted the urge to crawl into bed.

Just as she was dozing off, Jinshu leaned close to her and said, "Miss, the Star-Picking Tower is setting off fireworks. I'll accompany you to watch them."

Lou Suyi yawned: "It's cold outside, and the fireworks are just so-so, so I guess I won't watch them?"

"Today is the New Year, after all. Miss is waiting for His Majesty to return anyway, so why not go and see him?" Jinshu winked at Yan Hui.

Yan Hui chimed in, "Yes, this servant also wants to see if the fireworks on New Year's Eve are even more beautiful than those for the Mid-Autumn Festival last time."

Lou Suyi saw Yan look back and couldn't bear to refuse.

As soon as they stepped outside, they saw clusters of fireworks blooming in the sky, like stars falling in the rain, a breathtaking sight.

"I never expected to see the entire fireworks display from Xianfu Palace. This year's fireworks are especially beautiful," Yan Hui exclaimed in surprise.

Lou Suyi watched intently for a while, then asked, puzzled, "Don't all fireworks look the same? Are there any that are prettier?"

Yan Hui's face fell, and she looked at Jin Shu for help.

Jinshu coughed lightly twice: "I heard that this year they specially imported new types of fireworks from Southeast Asia, with more and more beautiful colors than in previous years."

Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't have specially ordered them to bring the young lady out to watch the fireworks just because she couldn't attend the banquet.

It was His Majesty who said that what others have, the young lady should also have, but the young lady does not understand His Majesty's good intentions.

"I didn't see it that way. Only young girls like you would find it pretty. I'm not that interested in this stuff," Lou Suying said maturely. Jinshu couldn't help but chuckle: "You look even younger than us servants."

"I'm already twenty-two, getting old." The cold wind had completely banished Lou Suying's sleepiness. "If it were many years ago, I might have liked these unrealistic things."

Having experienced life and death, people become more pragmatic and no longer have these superficial and useless pursuits.

Jinshu and Yanhui exchanged a glance, and the two palace maids said in unison, "Miss is not old at all."

Lou Suyi smiled as she looked at the fireworks in the sky. The beauty of that moment was indeed dazzling and spectacular, but unfortunately, it was too short-lived.

"How did you celebrate the New Year when you were still unmarried, young lady?" Yan Hui asked curiously.

This stumped Lou Suyi.

She thought about it carefully, but couldn't think of anything special.

"Maybe it's because people want a new outfit for themselves during holidays?" That was the only thing Lou Suyi could think of.

She dared not think of anything else.

Yan Hui was extremely surprised: "Miss is a daughter of the Marquis of Suning's family. Isn't it a very common thing for her to make new clothes?"

“Isn’t it because my father doesn’t love me and my mother doesn’t care about me? My aunt values ​​the two legitimate daughters of the Lou family and rarely cares about me. During holidays, my aunt is with the Marquis of Suning and doesn’t have the energy to pay attention to me.” Lou Suyi still can’t understand. “I really can’t understand why my mother would fight for a man who doesn’t love her for a lifetime, and not even want to look at her own child.”

Yan Hui and Jin Shu both fell silent.

Normally, the girl wouldn't talk to them about the Lou family or their affairs. They only knew that the girl hadn't had a good time in the Lou family, but they never imagined that the girl's life in the Lou family was so difficult.

After a long while, Yan Hui hurriedly changed the subject, asking, "Will that girl stay up all night on New Year's Eve?"

Lou Suying shook her head: "I don't have that habit."

Since no one was with her anyway, and she didn't have any particular wishes, family reunion was irrelevant to her, so she didn't need to stay up all night.

Jinshu then smiled and said, "How about I keep you company tonight, Miss?"

Lou Suyi frowned upon hearing this: "Isn't it unnecessary to stay up all night?"

"The young lady is pregnant with the imperial heir, so let's keep vigil for the little imperial heir," Jinshu said hastily.

Lou Suyi finally became interested: "That's right, I also have my own child this year, I want to stay up all night for my child!"

Jinshu and Yanhui both laughed.

Otherwise, by the time His Majesty returns, the young lady will probably be too exhausted to stay awake and will have fallen asleep.

Having made up her mind to stay up all night on New Year's Eve, Lou Suyi immediately became energetic.

As the banquet ended and Murong was about to return to Xianfu Palace, she saw Xie Zhijie and Qi Yan standing together, seemingly arguing.

He immediately changed direction and walked toward his two ministers.

Xie Zhijie and Qi Yan were indeed arguing, and it was all because of Lou Suyi.

Just as they were arguing, Murong suddenly walked towards them, and they all fell silent.

"Both of you ministers have families, why are you still lingering in the palace at this hour?" Murong paused, then said, "Su Yi is waiting for me to celebrate the New Year, you two ministers should also return home as soon as possible."

Oh oh
