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

Chapter 161 Production
Lou Suyi never expected to receive another reward.

She lacks nothing now; the recent rewards she has received are enough for her to live a life of luxury for the rest of her days.

"Your Majesty is too kind. It has troubled you to make this trip, Aunt. Xianfu Palace has everything you need, so please rest assured, Your Majesty," Lou Suying replied with a smile.

Fangruo felt that Lou Suyi was getting better and better, radiant and beautiful, and even with her pregnant belly, her outstanding figure was still undeniable.

After chatting with Lou Suyi for a few minutes, she returned to Shou'an Palace to report back.

Lou Suyi distributed some rewards to everyone, and then had all the rewards moved to the storeroom, where they were sorted and stored. She then handed the storeroom key to Granny Fan for safekeeping.

Looking at the room full of treasures, she couldn't help but sigh, "Making money in the harem is so easy."

How wonderful it would be if I could take these treasures out of the palace and live a carefree life!
Unfortunately, after the baby in her womb was born, she could only make a living in the harem with her child, and seeking freedom outside the palace was something she could only dream of.

After the Lantern Festival, the harem suddenly became quiet, simply because Murong was busy with state affairs and had no time to move around in the harem.

Before we knew it, it was the first day of the second lunar month, the day before the Dragon Raises its Head.

Fearing that Lou Suyi might suddenly give birth, they chose a large room as the delivery room and divided it into two suites.

Granny Fan was also ready to deliver the baby.

Lou Suyi was very tired that day and went to bed early.

As a result, she started having contractions in the middle of the night, which alarmed everyone in Xianfu Palace.

Seeing that Lou Suyi had suddenly gone into labor, Jili dared not delay and immediately went to Qianqing Palace to report to Murong that Lou Suyi was about to give birth.

Murong hurriedly dressed and left Hanzhang Room without saying a word.

Seeing this, Jili said, "The young lady is currently doing well. With Granny Fan here, she will surely give birth to the imperial heir smoothly. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Ji Qing chimed in, "Yes, Fourth Miss is blessed with great fortune and will surely give birth to an imperial heir smoothly."

Murong remained silent.

The imperial procession quickly arrived at Xianfu Palace, and Murong strode inside, heading straight for the delivery room.

Granny Qiao was guarding the delivery room door. When she saw Murong arrive, she was about to bow when she saw His Majesty about to enter the delivery room. She hurriedly tried to stop him, but she was not as fast as His Majesty.

She had no choice but to follow him into the delivery room and whispered a reminder: "The delivery room is a place of uncleanliness. Your Majesty is of noble birth. Why don't you wait outside? Miss Lou's delivery won't be quick; it may take several hours."

"It's alright, I'll stay with her." Murong glanced at Granny Qiao.

Granny Qiao's heart skipped a beat, and she dared not stop her anymore. In the end, she waited outside the delivery room.

Lou Suying had just recovered from labor pains and was somewhat surprised to see Murong arrive: "Why has Your Majesty come?"

Murong sat down on the edge of the bed and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Bear with it, it will pass soon."

Lou Suyi felt that the emperor made it sound so easy. She knew that she could just endure it and it would pass, but childbirth was just too painful.

Before long, the familiar contractions returned. She gritted her teeth and endured it, thinking that childbirth was truly not something a human being could do.

When Empress Dowager Chen learned that Lou Suying was about to give birth, she rushed over.

"This child certainly knows how to pick a day to be born," Empress Dowager Chen remarked.

Fangruo was taken aback, remembering that today was the day the dragon raised its head, a truly auspicious day. For the children of the imperial family, the second day of the second lunar month was indeed a very lucky day.

"Has the Emperor not arrived yet?" Empress Dowager Chen asked Granny Qiao, who was standing nearby, when she couldn't find Murong.

Granny Qiao pointed to the room and whispered, "His Majesty is in the delivery room, and this old servant couldn't stop him." Empress Dowager Chen thought to herself that the Emperor had been indifferent to Su Yi a few days ago, and he probably felt guilty towards Su Yi, which was why he went into the delivery room to accompany her during childbirth.

She wanted to stop him, but considering the emperor's stubborn temper, she eventually gave up trying to persuade him.

Furthermore, this was Su Yi's first child, and the emperor had not paid any attention to her before the birth. At this critical juncture, Su Yi should indeed be given some encouragement.

The birthing room was such a filthy place, it might not be good for the emperor.

"Miss Lou's delivery won't be so quick. Your Majesty, why don't you rest at Xianfu Palace first? I'll come and call you after the delivery, okay?" Fangru suggested, worried about Empress Dowager Chen's health.

Empress Dowager Chen shook her head: "Never mind, I can't sleep in bed anyway, I'll just wait here."

As a result, they waited until dawn, but there was still no movement in the delivery room.

Not only was Empress Dowager Chen anxious, but all the concubines in the harem received news that Lou Suying was about to give birth. Everyone hoped that Lou Suying would give birth to a princess, or that something unexpected would happen to Lou Suying during childbirth, resulting in the death of both mother and child.

Liang Wanying didn't sleep for the rest of the night, waiting for news from Xianfu Palace.

Seeing Yulan return from gathering information, she greeted her and asked, "Has any news spread?"

"Not yet. No news is good news. Maybe Abbess Kongchen is having a difficult childbirth?" Mo Lan chimed in from the side.

Liang Wanying hoped that Lou Suyi would have a difficult childbirth, but she also knew that the chances were slim.

"Go and gather more information. Report back to me immediately if you find anything," Liang Wanying waved her hand.

Just as Yulan was about to go and find out more information, Liang Wanying changed her mind: "Never mind, I will go to Xianfu Palace myself."

Things are different now. Lou Suying is about to give birth, so it's perfectly normal for her to visit Xianfu Palace.

Having made her decision, she hurriedly went to Xianfu Palace.

As it turned out, she was the last one to arrive. Not only did Consort De arrive, but Consort Ning also came, as did other concubines whose names were known, including Lou Suyue and Consort Tao.

Everyone eagerly awaited the news, wondering if Lou Suyi would be able to give birth smoothly, and if so, whether the baby would be a princess or a prince.

Empress Dowager Chen was initially very anxious, but as more and more concubines arrived, although she didn't show it on her face, even a fool could tell what these people were planning.

Fangruo was worried about Empress Dowager Chen's health and wanted to persuade her to rest for a while. Just as Empress Dowager Chen was about to refuse, she heard the loud crying of a baby coming from inside.

Upon hearing the sound, Empress Dowager Chen suddenly grabbed Fang Ruo's hand tightly.

Inside the delivery room, Granny Fan examined the child immediately, then, beaming with joy, handed the baby to Murong: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a prince!!"

Murong was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly took the child. He held the child in his arms and handed him to Lou Suyi: "Suyi, this is our child, he is very handsome."

Lou Suyi was exhausted. She had heard that the child was beautiful and believed it to be true, but when she saw the wrinkled little baby, her expression changed: "Is Your Majesty sure this child is beautiful?"

Why does it look so ugly?

Murong looked at the child and thought the child was indeed beautiful: "Of course your child with me is beautiful."

Lou Suying wondered if he was blind, but that didn't matter. She immediately looked at the child, and the moment she saw the little penis, she grinned and said, "Not bad!"

She guessed it would be a prince, and her intuition proved correct.

Just as Empress Dowager Chen was about to enter the delivery room to see what was happening, Granny Shen came out and congratulated her: "Miss Lou has given birth to a prince! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

His Majesty has an heir!
