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

Chapter 219 So angry he vomited blood!

Consort De deliberately avoided Consort Ning because she knew that Lou Suyi had a habit of sleeping in late.

Furthermore, since Murong stayed overnight at Xianfu Palace, Lou Suyi would inevitably have to serve him in bed, which might have resulted in Lou Suyi being sleep-deprived.

The thought of Lou Suying sleeping in the same bed with Murong and having the opportunity to serve the emperor filled her with jealousy, so she came up with this plan to disgust Lou Suying.

Who knew that her method was good, but Lou Suyi, relying on her status as the Empress, simply left them standing in the palace.

Today was the first time she had to pay her respects to Lou Suyi, and since the Empress had ordered her to wait outside, she couldn't disobey.

They waited until noon before Lou Suyi finally emerged gracefully.

Looking at Lou Suyi, her face glowing with a languid and charming air, Consort De was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder.

"What was Your Majesty doing before, making us sisters wait so long?" Consort De said sarcastically, almost implying that Lou Suying had left them waiting here simply because Lou Suying was sleeping in.

Lou Suyi smiled brightly: "Chen'er kept making a fuss, so I had no choice but to soothe the child first. Speaking of which, you've come too late. Consort Ning has already gone back, and you're only just arriving now."

Wasn't it intentional to annoy her? She could just ignore them.

As the Empress, how could she be allowed to be tormented by them?
Consort De's expression was not good: "Is Your Majesty upset that we arrived too late? Then starting tomorrow, I will come to pay my respects to Your Majesty first thing in the morning?"

Lou Suyi's eyes flickered slightly, knowing what Consort De was thinking.

Presumably, everyone in the harem knows that she usually gets up late, so they want to find a way to get her up early because she doesn't sleep well.

She simply thought the method was naive.

“I am naturally pleased to see Consort De’s filial piety. How about this, starting tomorrow, Consort De and everyone present will come to pay their respects to me at dawn!” Lou Suyi replied with a smile.

Consort De's face was somewhat gloomy, and the other concubines present also looked unwell.

It was still dark at dawn, wasn't Lou Suyi deliberately making things difficult for them?
"This was Consort De's suggestion. I wonder what you all think?" Lou Suyi asked with a smile. "I personally don't care. It's up to you ladies to decide."

Lou Suyue regretted traveling with Consort De today. It was all because Consort De had told her yesterday that she would come to Xianfu Palace later to pay her respects to Lou Suyue.

At this critical juncture, can she sever ties with Consort De?
While she was hesitating, Consort De had already agreed on behalf of all of them: "Since Her Majesty the Empress thinks it is feasible, then let's do it this way."

Since she can't sleep well either way, she'll make sure Lou Suyi can't sleep well either.

“Alright!” Lou Suyi looked at Jinshu, “Write down the names of all the concubines present. Starting tomorrow, all of them must come to Xianfu Palace to pay their respects to me at the hour of Mao (5-7 AM) every day. Not one of them can be missed!”

Jinshu immediately took out a small booklet and wrote down the names of all the concubines present. Everyone who saw this looked rather displeased.

For a moment, everyone looked at Consort De with a hint of resentment.

Although none of them had received the emperor's favor since entering the palace, they did not need to pay their respects to the empress because the new emperor had not established an empress. Therefore, their days in the harem were more leisurely than those in their boudoirs, and many of them developed the habit of sleeping in late.

No one was happy about having to get up so early just to pay their respects to Lou Suyi at Xianfu Palace.

Consort De wanted to annoy Lou Suyi, but ended up dragging them down with her. Who would be happy about that?

When they left Xianfu Palace, no one wanted to travel with Consort De anymore, and they all gave her the cold shoulder.

Consort De was displeased to see the women's expressions change so drastically. However, the thought that Lou Suying would no longer be able to sleep in starting tomorrow made her feel better. So, early the next morning, Consort De and the other concubines rushed to Xianfu Palace before dawn, only to find that Lou Suying did not come out to see them.

As dawn broke, Jinshu came out and said, "The young prince cannot leave Her Majesty the Empress. Her Majesty the Empress is temporarily unable to leave. Please wait a moment, everyone."

Consort De's heart sank. Was Lou Suying deliberately toying with them?
As expected, another half hour passed before Lou Suyi appeared, even after Consort Ning and the other concubines came to pay their respects.

Upon seeing Consort De's dark expression, Consort Ning asked what had happened.

Lou Suyue then recounted everything that had happened the previous day.

After listening, Consort Ning remained silent for a moment before saying, "It's normal that Her Majesty the Empress is busy raising the young prince."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lou Suying came out carrying the exquisitely beautiful little prince.

Upon seeing Lou Suyi, Consort De said resentfully, "Your Majesty the Empress has kept me waiting for so long!"

Lou Suyi looked at Consort De with deep apology: "Consort De, you've never had a child, so you don't know that taking care of a child is a very unpredictable thing. I didn't know when the baby would start crying either. I'm sorry to have kept you and my sisters waiting."

Seeing Lou Suyi's radiant face and energetic appearance, Consort De was so angry that she could hardly breathe.

How could there be such a hateful woman?
She had actually walked into her own trap, and yet she couldn't say anything bad about that bitch Lou Suyi.

She has a little prince; the little prince is her best excuse.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her face darkened.

Lou Suyi observed this and said, "Consort De is so magnanimous, she shouldn't be angry, right? But it was Consort De herself who said she would come to pay her respects to me early, I didn't force her. Consort De, if you didn't know better, people would think I was bullying you."

Consort De clenched her fists to restrain herself from losing her temper on the spot.

She forced a smile: "Your Majesty is too kind. How could I possibly be angry? Nothing is more important than His Highness. I understand."

"It's good that you understand, sister. It's good that you're so magnanimous, otherwise I would feel uneasy." Lou Suyi's smile became even brighter.

Consort Ning watched as Lou Suyi and Consort De went back and forth, and in the end Consort De was completely defeated. So she sat quietly in a corner, not wanting to get involved.

Lou Suying got her wish and infuriated Consort De. She stood up with a smile and said, "Everyone, if there's nothing else, you can all leave. I've received your greetings, and I still need to take the children to Shou'an Palace."

Consort De's face darkened instantly, and she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

She waited from dusk till dawn before Lou Suyi finally arrived, but Lou Suyi left after giving her a piece of her mind. Was she afraid of not angering her enough?

As everyone watched Lou Suyi ride away in her palanquin, Consort Tao burst out laughing: "Your Majesty the Empress is truly a remarkable person!"

Even someone as powerful as Consort De could be so infuriated by Lou Suyi, which shows how skilled Lou Suyi is at provoking people.

Consort De sneered: "Sister Tao, you'd better be careful. Her Majesty the Empress is extremely skilled at tormenting people!"

Tragically, it was the pit she dug herself that didn't harm Lou Suyi at all, but instead buried her in the pit she herself had dug.

I can only blame myself for underestimating my opponent, which led to this calamity.
