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

Chapter 199 Everyone Watches as She Relinquishes Her Secular Life!
Just as Fangruo was about to go and do this, Empress Dowager Chen stopped her again: "Send someone to the Lotus Nunnery and invite the abbess to the palace to hold a grand ceremony for Suyi to return to secular life."

Fangruo was taken aback, but quickly understood that the Empress Dowager meant to support Miss Lou.

During this trip to Yiyuan Garden, the Empress Dowager truly treated Miss Lou as one of her own.

"Yes, this servant will send someone to invite the abbot to the palace tomorrow."

The next morning, Fangruo sent a lot of gifts to Xianfu Palace.

Lou Suyi is no longer surprised by the rewards she receives. After all, in this harem, apart from the servants in Xianfu Palace, there are no other people she needs to bribe.

If she were to leave the palace, this little rich woman could certainly act all high and mighty.

She assumed Fangruo had come to deliver a reward, but then Fangruo said, "The Empress Dowager has ordered someone to go out of the palace to invite the abbot of the Lotus Nunnery to the palace to prepare a grand ceremony for the young lady's return to secular life. Once she officially returns to secular life, she will no longer be a member of the Buddhist order."

Lou Suyi was momentarily dazed.

It seems like the ordination ceremony just happened yesterday, but now she's officially returning to secular life.

She was actually thinking that it would be fine to just drift through life like this, even if she had a child and broke all her vows.

"Actually, I'm fine as I am. There's no need for me to renounce my vows, is there?" Lou Suyi said hesitantly.

Fang Ruo chuckled: "Now that you are a mother and His Majesty's woman, you should sever this karmic ties with Buddha. The Empress Dowager is doing this for your and the young prince's good. If it were anyone else, she wouldn't be going to such lengths."

Lou Suyi knew she couldn't refuse after hearing her words.

She knew that Fang Ruo's words made sense. If it were anyone else, Empress Dowager Chen would definitely not have taken the initiative to make arrangements. Now, Empress Dowager Chen treated her as one of her own.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Aunt and Empress Dowager." Lou Suying smiled with relief.

It's better for her to return to secular life; otherwise, as the child grows up, she probably won't understand why her clothes are different from others.

After seeing Fang Ruo off, Lou Suyi was still somewhat disheartened.

Seeing Lou Suyi's low spirits, Jinshu asked in confusion, "Isn't returning to secular life a good thing?"

Why does the girl look unhappy?

Lou Suyi gave a slight smile: "It's a good thing. I just feel that time flies by a bit. In the blink of an eye, I'm already a mother."

Moreover, she had just become a nun when she first entered the palace, and broke her vow of celibacy within a few days.

Thinking of this, she chuckled: "It really is a good thing!"

Her life is about to enter a new phase, and she can also cut ties with the bad things of the past. Isn't that wonderful?
Lou Suyi is an optimistic person. When everyone in the Lou family looked down on her before, she felt that she could try to step out of the Lou family and that it would be a completely new world.

However, she encountered misfortune before she could achieve her goal. As it turned out, she was lucky and indeed escaped the control of the Lou family after returning.

Everything is getting better now, and she should be grateful to Empress Dowager Chen for arranging her return to secular life.

News of Lou Suyi's decision to return to secular life quickly spread throughout the palace.

This was originally a matter of course, but Empress Dowager Chen personally arranged this matter, which still caused quite a stir in the inner palace.

People are speculating whether Lou Suyi's first act after leaving the monastic life will be to be made a concubine.

But soon someone received news that this matter was arranged by Empress Dowager Chen, and even Murong was unaware of it.

Murong did receive the news after court, and he was somewhat surprised because his mother had not informed him of it.

Seeing that Murong didn't react, Ji Qing asked, "When Fourth Miss returns to secular life, will she go to Xianfu Palace?"

Murong raised an eyebrow and asked, "When will she return to secular life?" "We need to wait until the abbot enters the palace and then choose an auspicious time. Once the time is set, this servant will report to His Majesty." Jiqing knew that her master was going to watch the Fourth Miss return to secular life.

It was already afternoon when the abbot entered the palace.

She first went to pay her respects to Empress Dowager Chen, and then chose an auspicious time, setting the date as 3:45 AM the next day.

The next day, when Murong arrived at Xianfu Palace, the timing was just right.

Lou Suying was chatting and laughing with the abbot, her demeanor respectful and polite. It was unclear what the abbot said, but she smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling.

After the ceremony of returning to secular life began, Empress Dowager Chen noticed that Murong was watching intently, so she stood beside him and said, "Are plain clothes really that beautiful?"

She had never seen her son look at anyone with such focus.

Murong snapped out of his reverie and turned to look at Empress Dowager Chen: "It's all thanks to Mother for helping Suyi with the arrangements."

"You are busy with state affairs, so it is only right that I handle these matters. You trust me, and I trust you. You must remember what you said," Empress Dowager Chen subtly reminded her.

She didn't explain it very clearly, but the emperor should know that she was referring to giving Su Yi a formal title.

Because many concubines had come to observe Su Yi's return to secular life, she didn't want these women to develop hostility towards Su Yi.

Murong didn't reply. At this moment, Liang Wanying leaned over and asked, "What were His Majesty and the Empress Dowager saying? May I hear them?"

Empress Dowager Chen was unhappy to see Liang Wanying, who was not content with her life at home, but today was the ceremony for Su Yi to return to secular life, and she could not disrupt it, so she refrained from scolding her.

Murong didn't look at Liang Wanying, and calmly said, "The abbot is holding a ceremony to disrobe, so don't say anything."

Liang Wanying curled her lips slightly. It was just a ceremony to return to secular life; it wasn't a big deal.

Lou Suyi, this woman, suddenly returned to secular life. She wanted to ask Murong if he wanted to give this woman a formal status.

Seeing Murong's cold and stern face, she dared not speak again.

Lou Suyi's ceremony to return to secular life was indeed grand, taking a full hour to complete smoothly.

Many concubines were getting impatient, but with Murong and Empress Dowager Chen in charge, no one dared to show it on their faces.

When Lou Suyi came out after changing into a new outfit, her short hair was as black as ink. Because it was too short, she couldn't wear a hairpin and could only tie it with a silk ribbon, which made her look charming with a touch of playfulness.

Previously, Lou Suyi wore monk's robes, which were too plain and easily made people overlook her beauty.

Now, simply by changing into a brightly colored new dress, her beauty is highlighted. Most importantly, despite having given birth to a child, she looks young and innocent.

Moreover, her face looked smaller than all the concubines in the harem present, how could everyone present not be jealous?

Empress Dowager Chen also pulled Lou Suying to look at her, and the more she looked, the more she liked her: "She doesn't look like a woman who has given birth at all. I like her just by looking at her."

As she spoke, she glanced at Murong, thinking that the emperor would surely like him too.

Murong's expression remained indifferent, without any extra emotion.

"Mother, I still have state affairs to attend to, so I'll return to Qianqing Palace first." He said, handing his crying son to Lou Suyi. "Take good care of the child. I'm going back now."

Lou Suying looked at his indifferent face and tactfully said, "Respectfully seeing off Your Majesty."

The emperor is strange; if he's too busy, he shouldn't come. And when he does, he gives her the cold shoulder.

Just then, Murong whispered in her ear, his voice deep and seductive: "Beautiful."
