Chapter 364 Let His Majesty taste the bitterness of love
Chapter 364 Let His Majesty taste the bitterness of love
Lou Suyi was bored and watched the koi being tended to. The more she watched, the more she felt that this palace maid was a meticulous person.
On the way back to Xianfu Palace, Jinli kept Lou Suyi company and chatted to relieve her boredom, but every time she mentioned Murong.
As they approached Xianfu Palace, Jinli spoke of His Majesty again: "Before leaving today, His Majesty repeatedly instructed me to take good care of the Empress and to ensure her safe return to Xianfu Palace without any mishaps. His Majesty truly values the Empress. I have never seen His Majesty value anyone so much. The Empress is truly unique."
Lou Suyi recalled the delicious food at the Qianqing Palace and agreed with Jinli's words; there was no doubt that Murong was good to her.
When they returned to Xianfu Palace, Jinshu was about to help Lou Suyi down from the palanquin, but Jinli beat her to it and carefully helped Lou Suyi down to the ground.
Jinshu had no choice but to withdraw her outstretched hand. Looking at Jinli's eager appearance, anyone who didn't know better would think that Jinli was a servant of Xianfu Palace.
She shook her head and chuckled, following behind, watching Jinli help Lou Suyi into the palace gate.
Lou Suyi was safely escorted back to Xianfu Palace by Jinli. Seeing that Jinli had completed its mission and was about to leave, she asked Jinshu to give Jinli a reward.
Jinli quickly declined, saying, "This servant is ordered to serve Your Highness, which is my honor. However, I have a thought, but I don't know if I should say it."
Lou Suyi smiled and said, "What can't be said?"
"This servant hopes... that Your Highness can treat His Majesty better, and like him a little more." Jinli's voice grew softer and softer.
She knew she had overstepped her bounds, but since she was now serving His Majesty, she naturally hoped that His Majesty could win the heart of the beauty.
His Majesty may have realized that the Empress did not like him much.
The Empress seems easy to talk to, but feelings aren't something you can just have whenever you want.
His Majesty's personality destined him to be a man who wouldn't take the initiative, and he was too oblivious to realize his feelings for the Empress. She was afraid that in the end, if the relationship between the two masters wasn't handled well, they would become resentful lovers, which would be such a pity.
Lou Suyi was surprised that Jinli would say such a thing, and she stared at Jinli intently.
Jinli panicked and immediately knelt down: "This servant has overstepped her bounds, please forgive me, Your Majesty. This servant only felt that His Majesty was not good with words and often failed to express himself, but His Majesty treats Your Majesty very well, so this servant also hopes that Your Majesty can like His Majesty more."
Lou Suyi smiled slightly: "I know, you can go back now."
Jinli thought to herself that the Empress knew nothing. She didn't know that His Majesty was oblivious, that he had clearly fallen for her but was unaware of it, and that his sleep was easily disturbed by her, yet he was still worried about disturbing her rest.
She worried that if His Majesty continued like this, he would never win the Empress's heart.
Her face fell: "This servant takes her leave."
Lou Suyi watched the koi fish swim away, shaking her head and chuckling.
As expected, like master, like servant.
Last night, Murong told her that he should ask her frequently if she liked him, and today the palace maid beside him was telling her to like Murong more.
But how can she control her emotions so easily?
She is an emotionally barren person. She has never been loved by anyone since childhood, so where would she get the ability to like people?
But after giving birth to Xiao Muchen, she suddenly understood the word "love." It was a responsibility, an obligation, and above all, a deep and inseparable bond of blood.
If Murong only wants that superficial affection, she should have no problem with it.
But if it's love... she lacks confidence.
"That's ridiculous. His Majesty doesn't even like the Empress, so why should the Empress like His Majesty more?" As soon as Jinli left, Yan Hui couldn't wait to say.
His Majesty hasn't even gone through the ordeal of trying to win back his wife, so Your Majesty can't possibly fall for him. He should experience the bitterness of love first; otherwise, what a loss for Your Majesty!
Lou Suyi, unusually, agreed with Yan Hui: "That's right, if His Majesty doesn't like me, why should I like His Majesty?"
Yan Hui's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty cannot fall in love with His Majesty first. His Majesty must bow down to Your Majesty first!"
Upon hearing this, Jinshu pushed Yan Hui away, saying, "Here we go again. Don't try to corrupt the Empress with your old storytelling."
If the words "Your Majesty must bow down and submit to the Empress" were to reach His Majesty's ears, it would be a capital offense punishable by death!
Lou Suying knew that Yan Hui was easily pleased, so she warned him, "Don't talk nonsense. What kind of status does His Majesty have? You can't have such unacceptable thoughts!"
Yan Hui knew that her mouth had caused trouble again, and repeatedly agreed.
Lou Suyi herself did not take Jinli's words to heart.
She felt that a man like Murong had too many lovers; he didn't need her. His Majesty the Emperor loved no one, so why should she make things difficult for herself?
She wouldn't do something that wasn't worth it.
But sometimes, when she thought about Murong, she realized it would be easy to fall for a man like him. Especially for a superficial woman like her who was attracted to good looks, it would be easy to be captivated by Murong's face…
For the next two days, Lou Suyi did not think of Murong again and focused on resting and recuperating in Xianfu Palace.
That evening, Murong arrived. She greeted him warmly, but as she got closer, she noticed his tired expression.
"Is Your Majesty not getting enough rest?" Lou Suyi asked, noticing the dark circles under Murong's eyes.
Murong looked at the radiant empress before him, his feelings complicated.
He really hadn't been sleeping well; for the past two nights, whenever he wanted to sleep, the Empress's face would appear in front of him.
Jinli said that since he couldn't rest well in Qianqing Palace, he should come to Xianfu Palace instead, saying that Xianfu Palace was his lucky place and he would definitely be able to rest well there.
Seeing the Empress's appearance, he felt that Xianfu Palace was the Empress's blessed place.
Seeing that Murong was staring at her intently, Lou Suying teased, "Has Your Majesty noticed that I've become more beautiful?"
So beautiful that he couldn't bear to look away?
Murong pinched Lou Suyi's face; it was smooth to the touch. The Empress had indeed taken good care of herself.
But why is it that he can't sleep because of her, while she sleeps like a log?
"Doesn't the Empress have any worries at all?" Murong asked in a low voice, his eyes revealing his weariness.
The officials responsible for suppressing the bandits have not yet been appointed. This matter is of utmost urgency, yet he is unable to sleep well because of the Empress. When did he become like this?
"Yes, I have a lot on my mind. I'm thinking about how to take good care of Chen'er, and how to ensure a safe pregnancy so that I can give birth to a healthy child. I also have to worry about His Majesty's daily life, whether he's eating well or staying warm, and there are many other matters in the harem that I need to oversee..."
Lou Suyi spoke eloquently, her eyebrows dancing with excitement.
When Murong heard her say that she wanted to take care of his daily life, he knew that she was being insincere.
If she truly cared about him, how could she not know that he hadn't slept well for several nights in a row?
Just then, Lou Suyi instructed Jinshu: "His Majesty is not sleeping well at night. Go to the small kitchen and ask Granny Fan to prepare some calming medicinal food."
Does the book "Baby" have a screenwriter?
