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

Chapter 393 Deceived by His Majesty

Lou Suyi altered her undergarments and had Jinshu deliver them to the Qianqing Palace.

When Jinshu returned, she immediately asked, "Did His Majesty say anything?"

Jinshu replied truthfully, "His Majesty said nothing."

Lou Suyi asked again, "Did you mention that I altered His Majesty's clothes to be too big?"

“I did mention it, but His Majesty didn’t say anything, he just told me to leave.” Jinshu was worried that her mistress might overthink it, so she added, “Perhaps I went at the wrong time, His Majesty seemed very busy.”

Lou Suyi didn't continue the discussion: "I understand, you go ahead with your work."

Jinshu saw that her master seemed hesitant to speak, but ultimately chose not to say anything more and withdrew.

Inside the Qianqing Palace, Murong was busy for a while before looking at the undergarment placed to the side.

Jinshu said that the inner garment was too big, which shows that Suyi still cares about him.

Ji Qing was a little confused when he saw his master undressing in the imperial study: "What is Your Majesty doing?"

The Empress is not here either.

Murong said calmly, "You may all step back."

Ji Qing quickly dismissed the crowd and walked at the very back. When he saw His Majesty pick up the undergarment that the Empress had sent, he realized that His Majesty wanted to try it on.

When Jinshu brought the inner robe, His Majesty seemed uninterested. Little did he know that His Majesty's aloofness was just an act, and he had been fooled by His Majesty.

After Murong changed into the new clothes, she felt they fit her perfectly.

Ji Qing waited outside for a quarter of an hour, thinking that his master was ready. He entered the imperial study, only to find his master wearing the inner robe made by the Empress, seemingly lost in thought.

This time, Ji Qing learned his lesson and exaggeratedly said, "The inner robe made by Her Majesty the Empress fits you perfectly, making His Majesty look handsome and dashing, like a god descended from heaven!"

Murong replied calmly, "It fits perfectly. The Empress is very thoughtful."

"That's right, that's right. When Her Majesty the Empress saw that the inner garment was too small, she immediately went to great lengths to make it bigger. This shows how much Her Majesty the Empress cares about His Majesty." Ji Qingmeng was trying to sweet-talk Murong.

When Jinli, who was waiting outside, heard Jiqing's words, she felt that her colleague had finally flattered the emperor correctly. Although the words were not true, the emperor liked to hear them.

His Majesty was pleased and ordered her to go to the storeroom to find interesting little trinkets to give to the Empress, in order to please her.

His Majesty also specifically instructed that she should not be too high-profile, for fear that the Empress would arouse the jealousy of the concubines in the harem.

His Majesty wasn't considerate before, but now he's thinking of the Empress in every way.

Because of the task assigned by its master, the koi carp naturally dared not neglect it.

When the warehouse manager saw her, he knew that she had come on the Emperor's orders.

This time, the koi fish was quite skilled. It went to the place where it found the golden car last time and started rummaging through everything, but in the end, it didn't find anything special.

Left with no other choice, she went to the side of expensive jewelry.

As a woman, she naturally loves beautiful jewelry, and I believe the Empress was no exception.

However, since the Empress has received so many rewards, she certainly wouldn't be interested in ordinary jewelry.

She searched around and finally found one that suited her taste.

She was happy to see this, so the Empress must be happy to see it too.

She took the treasure, told the storeroom manager, and then excitedly headed towards Xianfu Palace.

Lou Suyi is making an outer garment for Murong.

She had previously made a set of inner garments, and according to Jinshu's words, Murong seemed unhappy. Considering that she was the one who upset him, she, as his wife, should do something to show her appreciation.

She hadn't expected Jinli to come over, carrying something in her hands. After Jinli greeted Lou Suyi, she presented the treasure she was carrying.

"This is?"

The koi carp lifted the silk cloth, revealing a glittering golden object.

"This is a gold-encrusted flower-patterned box inlaid with gemstones, which His Majesty ordered me to send to Your Highness. Your Highness is pregnant and has been working hard for His Majesty. His Majesty really didn't know what to give Your Highness, so he found this treasure and sent it over. He hopes Your Highness will like it."

Not only Lou Suyi was stunned by the jewel box, but everyone else present was also dazzled by its brilliance.

The gem box is made with a very complex process. It is made on a gold base and inlaid with hundreds of rubies and emeralds of the same size, each one round and with a uniform color.

Such a jewel box is priceless.

Lou Suying had always loved gold. She took the jewel box and looked at it again and again, admiring it: "It's so beautiful."

She really likes this thing.

Jinli was delighted to have received the right gift: "I'm glad Your Highness is pleased. I'll go back and report right away."

Lou Suyi hurriedly had Jinshu give her a reward, and Jinli thanked her before returning to the Emperor to report.

"Does Su Yi really like the gift you picked out?" Murong glanced at the koi fish.

Jinli showed off the rewards she had received: "Her Majesty the Empress seems to like them very much and has given me many rewards."

She had seen them; they were all golden melon seeds, very valuable.

Murong said calmly, "Let me take a look."

The koi fish looked at the money bag that hadn't even warmed its hands yet, and silently presented it to His Majesty the Emperor.

Murong saw that the money bag was full of gold melon seeds, but he wasn't interested. He didn't give back the koi fish either.

Jinli knew this would happen; His Majesty never misses anything given by the Empress.

"You did a good job on this task," Murong said, then looked at Jiqing, "You should learn more from Jinli and reward her."

Ji Qing readily agreed and gave the koi a generous reward, which finally calmed the koi's resentment.

Lou Suying really liked the treasure box; she kept it on her bedside table and would glance at it from time to time. It was valuable and pleasing to the eye, and looking at it made her feel better when she was in a bad mood.

Murong came over after finishing his work that evening. When he entered the bedroom, Lou Suying was making clothes for him.

He immediately noticed the treasure box on the bedside table; it looked rather tacky.

Lou Suyi immediately stepped forward to greet Murong upon seeing him: "Your Majesty has arrived? I really like the treasure box; Your Majesty is very thoughtful."

Murong thought to himself that Jinli understood his empress best. He thought this thing was very vulgar, but the empress seemed to like it very much.

How happy was the Queen? She happily circled around him. If you ask how to please someone, the koi fish did it effortlessly.

Lou Suyi was indeed happy.

She was overjoyed all day after receiving the treasure box. The thought of seeing such a beautiful treasure every morning when she opened her eyes gave her a sense of hope for the future.

"I'm glad you like it." Murong pulled Lou Suyi to sit down and took the fabric from her hand, gently instructing her, "You can make it when you have time. There's no rush. Making clothes at night is bad for your eyes. Don't sew at night in the future."

Lou Suyi met his gentle eyes and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

It has to be said, this man treated her really well. All she could do was help him with some everyday clothes.

When they went to bed, Lou Suyi saw the undergarment on Murong's body, which was the same one she had sent over during the day.

He changed into it so quickly? Shouldn't he at least wash it before wearing it?

Seeing Lou Suyi looking at him with a strange expression, Murong said slowly, "It fits perfectly, I like it very much."
