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

Chapter 171 The child is still young and needs you as his father.
Lou Suyi felt that apart from his face, his figure, and his status as a diligent and benevolent emperor, Murong was definitely not someone she could entrust her life to.

However, most of the women in this palace entered it for the sake of their families; they didn't want Murong's love. Besides, Murong was handsome and had a good figure, so being able to sleep with this emperor was a win for him.

Seeing how easily Murong moved among the beauties, she truly felt that being an emperor wasn't so bad, being able to enjoy so many beauties' favors.

It's just a mystery why Murong doesn't favor his many young and beautiful concubines. Speaking of which, he's been moving around the harem a lot lately, so why doesn't he choose any of the concubines?

She stared blankly at Murong, pondering this serious question, when Murong looked over and their gazes met.

Lou Suyi was about to take the child's hand and wave to his father when Murong walked through the crowd towards her, attracting everyone's attention.

He quickly walked up to her and took the child away.

The little guy was raised by Lou Suyi to be chubby and fair-skinned, with pink and tender skin, just like a New Year's picture doll.

After Murong took the child in her arms, she joked in a low voice, "If he gets any fatter, Chen'er will turn into a little pig."

"Has Your Majesty ever seen a little pig as cute as Chen'er?" Lou Suyi was unhappy that her child was being disliked by his father like this.

"I've met you before." Murong Dan glanced at Lou Suyi.

Lou Suyi was stunned, and for some reason felt that Murong's look at her was as if he was saying that she was a pig too.

This thought startled her. She looked at herself and felt that there wasn't a single part of her body that resembled a pig.

Although she had just given birth, her figure was no different from before.

As for her face, it's just as beautiful as before.

Seeing Lou Suyi's expression of existential doubt, Murong's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile.

Afterwards, Murong would occasionally tease the child in her arms and chat with Empress Dowager Chen about everyday matters, but Lou Suyi, who stood to the side, did not say a word from beginning to end.

Seeing this scene from afar, Madam Yin couldn't help but sneer.

People say that a mother's status rises with her son's, but Lou Suyi thought that she could rise in status just because she gave birth to a prince. She couldn't wait to sever ties with the Suning Earl's Mansion, but in the end, she couldn't even get a title.

His Majesty just arrived, but only saw the young prince. Lou Suyi was standing in the most conspicuous position, but His Majesty left her aside.

Lou Suya also witnessed this scene and whispered to Madam Yin, "It seems that Suyi's position in the harem is also quite awkward. His Majesty seems to dislike Suyi very much. I heard that His Majesty last went to see Suyi almost a month ago."

Lou Suyue stood listlessly to the side, not particularly happy to hear her elder sister's words.

She felt hopeless in the palace, and only in public places like this could she catch a glimpse of His Majesty. But with so many women, who didn't long for His Majesty? What good would it do even if she saw him? His Majesty wouldn't even notice her.

Before entering the palace, she was ambitious, thinking that with her methods and beauty, it would be easy for her to rise to power. Now she realizes that she was naive.

"At least Fourth Sister has an imperial heir to rely on, but I have nothing," Lou Suyue said in a hoarse voice.

Madam Yin and Lou Suya both looked at Lou Suyue. The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, and Madam Yin pointed at Lou Suyue's forehead and said, "Can't you find a way to serve the emperor? If you don't find a way yourself, with so many beauties in the harem, how will His Majesty notice you?" "Does Mother think I don't want to? His Majesty stays in Qianqing Palace all day long. He occasionally walks around the harem, but he never comes to my palace." Lou Suyue was very resentful.

With her status, she didn't even have the right to enter the Qianqing Palace.

Even in the heavily guarded imperial palace, she dared not wander around carelessly, for fear of losing her life at any moment.

What does it matter how handsome or powerful His Majesty is? She can't touch him or reach him.

On the contrary, Lou Suying, this concubine's daughter, actually obtained His Majesty's body and even gave birth to a prince. This alone was enough to make her extremely jealous.

“Then you can’t just sit and wait for His Majesty to choose you. If His Majesty doesn’t remember you, how will you be chosen? In any case, your mother can’t help you; you have to find a way to rise in rank yourself.” As Madam Yin spoke, her gaze fell on Lou Suyi’s face.

So Lou Suyi had a way with things; she served the emperor soon after entering the palace. At that time, Lou Suyi had clearly only recently become a nun, yet she gained the emperor's favor.

In this respect, Lou Suyi has learned a lot from Aunt Ke's mannerisms.

Aunt Ke was a complete fool, yet she managed to stand out among the other concubines and be the most favored by the Earl, simply because she knew how to seduce men.

"Although Lou Suyi has severed ties with the Lou family, you can still pester her relentlessly. His Majesty will visit the young prince sometime. If you go to Xianfu Palace every day, you'll have no trouble seeing the Emperor's face," Madam Yin whispered to Lou Suyue.

Lou Suyue's eyes lit up. She thought that experience really does pay off. How come she hadn't thought of that?

“Yes, little sister, you must remain calm. No matter how much your fourth sister tries to drive you away, you must stay in Xianfu Palace. Now that you've entered the palace, neither Mother nor your elder sister can help you. You'll need to make your own plans,” Lou Suya echoed.

She looked in Lou Suyi's direction, a cold smile playing on her lips.

Xie Zhijie still had designs on Lou Suyi, but as long as Lou Suyi remained in the palace, Xie Zhijie would never have a chance to win her over.

Recently, Xie Zhijie has been very cold towards her. She had never stepped into her room before, and now it's even difficult for her to see Xie Zhijie.

Back then, he clearly chose her, the legitimate daughter, to climb the social ladder. Now that he has achieved great success, he wants Lou Suyi.

How can everything in this world go as Xie Zhijie wishes?
Lou Suyi stood bored beside Empress Dowager Chen. She glanced up occasionally and saw the Yin family plotting something, glancing at her from time to time. Could it be that they were planning to take advantage of her again?
Lou Suyue is still in the palace. She must be hoping to climb over her to rise to power and get into the emperor's bed, right?
Honestly, whether Lou Suyue rises to power or not is none of her business, but she would absolutely not be happy if someone tried to step on her to get ahead.

Seeing Lou Suying's listless appearance, Empress Dowager Chen said to Murong, "Emperor, you should visit Xianfu Palace when you have time. The child is still young and needs you as his father."

She was just thinking that if Murong wasn't interested in other women, and now that Lou Suying had recovered, she could be favored again.

If Lou Suyi can get pregnant again, that would be a good thing.

Looking at all the women in the harem, she looked down on none of them. She used to hope that Consort De could rival Consort Liang, but now she didn't even like Consort De.

As for the others, they were utterly useless and none of them could catch the emperor's eye.

After looking around, the only option left was the nun in plain clothes. She was obedient and sensible, and she didn't cause any trouble. She stayed in Xianfu Palace to take care of the children and wouldn't use the children to compete for favor. Such a woman was absolutely unique in the harem.
