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

Chapter 274 The Empress Has No Ambition

Not only did Consort De feel like she was punching cotton and couldn't exert any force, but everyone else also felt that Lou Suyi was an abnormal woman.

Doesn't Lou Suyi want His Majesty's heart?

His Majesty made this woman Empress simply because of the life-saving grace she received years ago. If Lou Suyi were any normal person, she should have been disappointed or saddened, but this woman was actually very happy and looked proud.

"The Empress is quite self-aware, knowing that His Majesty only issued the imperial decree to make her Empress in gratitude for saving her life. That makes sense, if His Majesty truly valued the Empress, how could he not even give her the most basic investiture ceremony?" Liang Wanying said sarcastically.

"What does it matter if there's no coronation ceremony? I'm still the Empress!" Lou Suyi replied in a good mood.

If Liang is so capable, why doesn't she also save Murong and become empress?

Liang Wanying was rendered speechless by Lou Suyi's scathing remarks.

That's why she said Lou Suyi was an annoying woman, and she had never seen a woman more hateful than Lou Suyi.

Judging from Lou Suyi's tone, it seemed that not having a coronation ceremony was still a remarkable thing.

“I know Consort Hui is standing up for me, but I think it’s good that there’s no empress coronation ceremony. Otherwise, I would have to work hard all day. Consort Hui has never been an empress, so she doesn’t know how tiring it is. Not only does she have to worry about the affairs of the harem, but she also has to take care of the children and look after His Majesty. In short, my position as empress is very secure, so Consort Hui doesn’t need to worry about me.” Lou Suyi continued to stab Liang Wanying in the heart.

Everyone looked at Liang Wanying, and seeing her gloomy face, they couldn't help but feel sorry for this favored concubine.

Liang Wanying had just been released from confinement, yet she insisted on walking right into Lou Suyi's trap. If Lou Suyi were to find another excuse to confine Liang Wanying again, it would be truly laughable.

Consort De originally intended to provoke Lou Suyi, but seeing that Lou Suyi didn't care about Murong's love at all, she suddenly felt it was pointless.

She could tell that Lou Suying wasn't faking it; this woman genuinely didn't care whether Murong loved her or not.

Clearly, Lou Suyi, a woman of power, values ​​the position of empress more than Murong.

Unlike her, who wanted Murong's love, Lou Suyi wasn't a love-struck fool.

On this point alone, she was outshone by Lou Suyi.

Moreover, she is the Empress and has a young prince. This woman seems to be happier without Murong's love.

She suddenly realized that she was like a clown, a transmigrator who was no match for Lou Suyi, a native.

Given that Liang Wanying had been tricked by Lou Suyi, everyone, including Consort De, refrained from causing any more trouble until they all dispersed.

Lou Suyi stretched and relaxed her muscles after all the women had left.

She turned around and saw Yan Hui's dejected expression: "Jin Shu, what's wrong with her?"

Jinshu shook her head, indicating that she did not know.

Yan Hui then walked up to Lou Suyi and said, "His Majesty hasn't visited Your Highness for quite some time. Would Your Highness like to take the young prince to see His Majesty? His Majesty is very busy with state affairs. As His Highness's wife, shouldn't Your Highness show more concern for him?"

The emperor and empress she had her eye on turned out to be a fake relationship. His Majesty was only kind to the empress because she had saved his life, which made her think that His Majesty liked the empress.

However, she felt that if the Empress tried harder, she would still have a chance to win His Majesty's heart. It was a pity that her mistress was too unambitious.

Lou Suyi thought to herself, what's there to care about? After all, there are plenty of people who care about the young emperor, it doesn't matter if she's one more.

However, upon further reflection, she felt she should show the emperor her filial piety. "Our little Yan Hui is right, I should show more concern for His Majesty. Yan Hui, go to the small kitchen and have Granny Fan prepare a pot of stew to send to His Majesty later to nourish his body." Lou Suyi was a woman of action and planned to go to the Qianqing Palace.

Looking at the Empress's enthusiastic expression, Yan Hui suddenly realized that the Empress hadn't really figured it out yet. Perhaps that wasn't so bad; as long as the Empress didn't want His Majesty's heart, she would live happily forever.

But she was still disappointed, because the couple she had her eye on just didn't seem right.

Granny Fan quickly prepared a stew and delivered it to Lou Suyi. Lou Suyi tasted a few bites and found the flavor to her liking.

Despite Yan Hui's disapproving look, she took another sip of soup before serving the soup, taking the child, and heading towards the Qianqing Palace.

Whether it was her imagination or not, when she entered the imperial study, she felt that Ji Qing's gaze was a little strange.

Murong also glanced at her, his expression unreadable.

"I was worried about Your Majesty's health, so I specially asked Granny Fan to stew Your Majesty's favorite soup. Your Majesty, please try it while it's hot." Lou Suyi looked at Jinshu and gestured for Jinshu to bring the soup to the Emperor.

Because she was holding the baby, she simply didn't have her hands free.

"Put it here." Murong said calmly, then buried himself in his work.

Lou Suyi sensed that Murong's mood was not very high, and whispered to Jiqing, "What's wrong with your master?"

Ji Qing shook his head: "This servant does not know."

"If even you, a close attendant, don't know, who would? Isn't it true that men have two or three days a month when they're not in a good mood?" Lou Suyi asked solemnly.

It can't be that seeing her face is what's making me feel bad.

auspicious:……

No wonder His Majesty said it was good that the Empress lived so carefree; in his opinion, it truly was. After all, the one who would suffer would never be the Empress, but others, such as His Majesty…

"By the way, I heard last time that His Majesty went to Xianfu Palace. When I came out to greet him, I couldn't find him. Why did His Majesty leave after arriving at the gate?" Lou Suyi asked curiously.

Ji Qing sighed inwardly, "This servant does not know."

He wasn't a mind reader, so how would he know why His Majesty wouldn't enter Xianfu Palace?
Lou Suyi glanced at Jiqing, then at Murong, who had a stern face: "Why do I feel that you and your servant look sickly? Could you have caught a cold?"

Ji Qing felt this was a huge misunderstanding: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, His Majesty is in good health and there is no problem."

"What's wrong with His Majesty today? He doesn't seem happy at all to see Chen'er." Lou Suyi looked at the baby boy in her arms.

There's no reason not to love such an adorable little Mu Chen, especially since he's his own father.

Ji Qing looked up at His Majesty, who was reviewing memorials with a stern face, and thought that His Majesty had been so lifeless lately, and it wasn't just because the Empress was here.

"Your Majesty should pay more attention to His Majesty," Ji Qing said, stopping short of commenting.

"I'm just showing concern, aren't I? But His Majesty won't even look at me or the child." She paused, then said, "Fine, I'll give it a try."

She carried the child to Murong's side and said to little Muchen, "Chen'er, this is your father, call him Father!"

Little Muchen waved his hands and, sure enough, called out in his childish voice, "Daddy, Daddy!!"
