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

Chapter 26 His Majesty is not very good in that area.
Lou Suyi also looked at Murong, wondering what he was up to now.

"Kong Chen, didn't I tell you that you can't wander around in the inner palace?" Murong looked over, his tone reproachful.

Lou Suyi instantly realized that Murong was helping her.

She quickly replied, "Your Majesty is right. This humble nun will never dare to wander around again."

Murong's expression turned cold: "I invited you to the palace to exorcise evil spirits, not to wander around aimlessly. Don't take my words for granted just because you're my savior!"

Lou Suyi felt that Murong's use of the word "running around" was inaccurate. She wasn't a flea, so why use such a vulgar word to describe her?

"This humble nun knows she was wrong." Lou Suyi lowered her posture, and now she felt at ease.

"Get out of here," Murong said impatiently, dismissing them.

Lou Suyi took two steps back, lowered her eyes, and replied, "This humble nun takes her leave."

After Lou Suyi left, Empress Dowager Chen recalled that many years ago, Murong had also given Lou Suyi a cold shoulder, and she realized that she had been overthinking things.

She then advised Murong, "Suyi did save your life after all, so don't be so harsh on her. You used to always give her a hard time, even though she's your benefactor. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was your enemy."

Consort Li was eavesdropping when she heard that His Majesty and Lou Suyi had such a past relationship, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon seeing Lou Suyi's stunning beauty, she initially thought His Majesty was interested in a mere nun. If His Majesty hadn't shown her any kindness before Lou Suyi became a nun, now that she was, he was even less likely to be interested.

“Your son knows his place. I’m afraid she doesn’t know her place and might bother Your Majesty. If possible, Your Majesty, please keep your distance from her in the future,” Murong replied calmly.

Empress Dowager Chen shook her head and chuckled when she saw his dislike for Lou Suyi.

She then brought up the important matter: "You have been on the throne for some time now, and you are usually busy with state affairs. When you have free time, you should visit the inner palace more often."

Murong readily agreed: "Your Majesty is right. I remember I still have official business to attend to, so I will come to pay my respects to Your Majesty another day."

Without waiting for Empress Dowager Chen to speak again, he left unhurriedly.

Empress Dowager Chen sighed helplessly and said to Consort Li, "Look, whenever I ask him to go to the inner palace, he avoids this issue. He is now the ruler of a country, and he is not young anymore. Not having an heir will affect the fate of the Great Xia Dynasty. Why doesn't he understand this? Consort Li, opportunities must be seized. Just now, the Emperor came. Why didn't you seize the opportunity?"

Consort Li felt heartbroken.

The new emperor just entered Shou'an Palace but didn't even glance at her. Under such circumstances, how could she possibly win his favor?

After leaving Shou'an Palace, her close attendant Liuli suggested, "Why don't you visit Xianfu Palace more often, Your Majesty? Perhaps you'll have a chance to meet the Emperor."

Consort Li looked at Liuli, puzzled, and asked, "His Majesty clearly dislikes Abbess Kongchen, so why should I approach that nun?"

For some reason, she just didn't like Lou Suyi. Whenever she saw Lou Suyi's overly charming face, she always felt that she was someone who would not stay at home.

“Has Your Majesty forgotten? Xianfu Palace is also His Majesty’s resting palace. Your Majesty is not going to get close to Abbess Kongchen, but staying at Xianfu Palace may lead to an encounter with His Majesty. That is the most important thing,” Liuli replied.

Consort Li's eyes flickered slightly; upon reflection, she realized that this made sense.

What does it matter whether she likes Lou Suyi or not? That nun is just a stepping stone for her to get closer to His Majesty.

But to her surprise, when she arrived at Xianfu Palace, the other concubines were also there, clearly having the same idea as her.

Lou Suyi is reading Xiao Jieyu's palm.

Unfortunately, she hadn't had a chance to read any books on palmistry, so she could only bite the bullet and spout nonsense: "Your palm is thick and soft, with excellent bone structure. You can tell at a glance that you have a life of wealth and nobility, and good days are yet to come."

Xiao Jieyu was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately gave Lou Suyi her favorite hairpin.

But she quickly remembered that Lou Suying had already become a nun. She smiled awkwardly and was about to explain when Lou Suying accepted the hairpin: "I am very pleased with your gift, thank you very much." Wu Meiren, who was standing nearby, hurriedly said: "Master, please also take a look at my face!"

Lou Suyi pretended to carefully examine Wu Meiren's face and praised her repeatedly: "A full forehead, a nose that gathers wealth, a prominent skull, exceptional intelligence, a promising future for a noble person."

Consort Li listened from a distance and sneered inwardly. According to Lou Suyi, there are no bad nobles in the palace, right?

She suddenly interjected, "Does Abbess Kongchen think His Majesty is handsome?"

As soon as she said this, everyone looked at Lou Suyi.

After Consort Li asked this question, everyone saw Lou Suyi's bright and beautiful face.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lou Suyi said Amitabha: "I am a nun. In my eyes, all beings are equal, and there is no beauty or ugliness in appearance."

Upon seeing Lou Suyi's pure and otherworldly appearance, the initial wariness that had arisen in the crowd vanished instantly.

Wu Meiren was delighted to hear this and immediately gave Lou Suyi a reward.

Upon seeing the lively scene inside, Jili immediately reported Lou Suyi's situation to Murong.

Murong showed no expression after hearing this, and simply said, "Let her be happy for a few days first."

Ji Qing was taken aback, not knowing what his master meant by those words.

Does this mean Lou Suyi can only be happy for a few days, and then she won't be happy anymore?
He didn't dare ask any more questions, but suddenly he was looking forward to seeing how His Majesty would make Miss Lou unhappy in a few days.

Lou Suyi had been welcoming and seeing off guests for several days, and only on the fifth day did she finally have some free time.

While reading, she chatted with Jinshu about the current situation of the concubines in the harem.

Jinshu shared what she knew, and when Lou Suyi heard that the new emperor had not yet favored any of his concubines since his ascension to the throne, she sincerely asked, "Is it possible that His Majesty is not very good in that area?"

Little did she know that Jili had overheard her discussion with Jinshu about this issue. When reporting back to Murong, he didn't dare to hide anything and, gritting his teeth, told the truth.

Murong raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing this, her expression indifferent.

Ji Qing wished he could become invisible.

This guy Lou Si is too audacious! He actually dared to say His Majesty is incapable; he's really courting death.

Just as he was feeling uneasy, His Majesty smiled: "She's been having a good time in the palace for a few days now, it's time for me to have some fun too."

Ji Qing looked at his master and met his chilling smile.

He knew that this time Miss Lou would likely face retribution from His Majesty, possibly even a scandalous one, to prove whether His Majesty was truly capable or not.

If that's the case, it would be a tremendous joy.

That evening, Murong, who had disappeared for several days, suddenly arrived at Xianfu Palace and, unusually, prepared a table of delicacies, but the vegetarian dishes of cabbage and tofu were nowhere to be seen.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, she stared at it for a while, then asked curiously, "Why isn't there any vegetarian food today?"

Hehe, the next chapter will feature him serving the emperor!

The update tomorrow will probably be in the afternoon, so please check back then, my darlings.

Thank you, my lovely fairies, for your tips, monthly tickets, and recommendation votes!
