Chapter 418 Apology
Upon receiving the chosen bracelet, Jinli immediately delivered it to the Emperor.

Murong took a few extra glances at the bracelet, something that was unusual for him.

A piece of yellow jadeite that is entirely glassy is indeed rare, and yellow jadeite is a perfect match for royal status. Wearing this bracelet with a simple dress and fair skin, one can only imagine how beautiful she would look.

It has to be said that the koi fish got the job done to his liking.

In his delight, he gave away some more koi fish as a reward.

Murong had originally planned to wait two days before going to Xianfu Palace, but on the second day he couldn't sit still any longer and simply headed straight for Xianfu Palace.

Everyone in Xianfu Palace knew that the Emperor and Empress had quarreled, and that His Majesty had been driven away by the Empress.

Given His Majesty's temperament and how busy he is, he won't come to Xianfu Palace again for at least ten days to half a month. Even more likely, he might only show his face again when the Empress is giving birth.

Everyone guessed this way, including Lou Suyi herself.

She thought that if they were going to have a cold war, then so be it; that would be better.

She realized that she had indeed fallen in love with Murong, and it was precisely because of this love that she became truly angry when he didn't trust her.

Now that she's fallen for him, and he already has someone he loves, she can't just live the rest of her life as a resentful woman. She might as well take this opportunity to adjust her mindset and withdraw her feelings for Murong. Even if she can't get those feelings back, she shouldn't fall any deeper.

She was playing with the child when she heard Ji Qing's shrill voice: "His Majesty has arrived!"

Ji Qing rarely sang and shouted so loudly. This time, her loud shouting was clearly a reminder to everyone to welcome the emperor, including herself, the empress.

She didn't want to go, but Jinshu's pleading eyes made her decide to change her attitude.

Therefore, Lou Suyi led everyone from Xianfu Palace to welcome the emperor.

Such a scene was rare at Xianfu Palace. Everyone was curious to know why His Majesty had returned so soon after being driven away by the Empress just yesterday, looking displeased.

His Majesty is not the type to easily show weakness. Could it be that he has come to settle scores with his master later?
Thinking of this possibility, everyone was worried for Lou Suying.

Lou Suying herself was completely open and honest. She bent down to greet Murong, but Murong stepped forward to help her up and stuffed a jewelry box into her arms: "See if you like it."

Lou Suyi noticed that he didn't seem to be holding a grudge about being driven away yesterday. She then looked at the jewelry box in her arms and wondered if he was taking the initiative to make peace with her.

Last time he left in a huff and didn't speak to her for more than half a month. This time, she personally drove him away, and he actually found a way to back down on his own?

Under Murong's gaze, she opened the jewelry box, and gasped when she saw the glittering yellow jade bracelet.

It is said that yellow is the most prestigious color and green is the most precious. While imperial green jadeite bracelets are hard to find, yellow jadeite bracelets of this quality are truly rare.

Since becoming empress, she has seen many treasures, but this is the first time she has seen a yellow jade bracelet like this, which is truly eye-catching.

"Let me help you put it on." Knowing she liked it, Murong helped her put it on immediately.

The size was just right, and it made Lou Suyi's skin look even whiter, making her irresistible.

"It was my fault yesterday, my tone was wrong, I just..." Murong suddenly noticed that there were still quite a few people around, and with a sharp look in his eyes, everyone immediately backed away.

Although everyone retreated far away, they were all secretly astonished, thinking that His Majesty was far too worthless.

He was just driven away by the Empress yesterday, and today he's rushing over to apologize to her. Isn't that because the Empress has him completely under her thumb?

Could this be the infamous henpecked husband syndrome?
Murong had no idea how he was perceived by the servants of Xianfu Palace; he only wanted to reconcile with Lou Suying as soon as possible. Lou Suying looked at the bracelet on her wrist, then at the smiling emperor before her, and was actually a little puzzled. Yesterday, her attitude had been bad, and she had prepared herself for at least half a month of cold war with him.

Moreover, she had challenged the emperor's authority, and he was a man who cared a lot about his reputation, so he probably wouldn't pay any more attention to her. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to seek peace so quickly, which seemed quite sincere.

What puzzled her was why he always gave in to her. Didn't he like other women?
Seeing that Lou Suyi remained silent, Murong cautiously asked, "Do you like it?"

If she doesn't like it, he'll give her other gifts; there's bound to be one that pleases her.

Lou Suying couldn't bring herself to say anything against her conscience, so she nodded truthfully: "I like it, thank you, Your Majesty."

Murong breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you like it. It suits your skin tone very well."

His empress was not only beautiful, but also had fair skin and delicate bones; even the finest treasures would only enhance her beauty.

Lou Suying was a little confused when she saw Murong acting like this. He always acted like he cared about her a lot, and even yesterday when she was in the wrong, he couldn't wait to bow down to her.

He's acting like he likes her...

Seeing Lou Suyi staring at him, Murong asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

It was as if they were sizing him up, or watching him think about something.

"His Majesty is handsome, isn't he?" Lou Suyi pondered how to subtly find out who his beloved was.

Actually, the best way would be to go to the Qianqing Palace again, and when he wasn't looking, she could secretly look at the portrait in the drawer and get the answer.

Instead of guessing, it's better to find the answer yourself.

Murong felt a little uncomfortable after being praised by Lou Suyi, and subconsciously replied, "You're just being glib."

Lou Suyi thought that His Majesty the Emperor was really easily flattered, but she also liked to see him like this.

Perhaps she only likes his face, which is probably quite superficial, isn't it?
"Your Majesty, what brings you here today? Have you finished your official duties?" Lou Suyi asked casually.

Ji Qing secretly grumbled to himself, "It's a joke that it's all over. His Majesty has abandoned his official duties just to come and apologize to the Empress."

His Majesty used to be such a cold and aloof person, but now he's thrown away all pretense of dignity for the sake of His Majesty the Empress.

Before Murong could answer, Lou Suying looked at Jiqing: "Jiqing, tell me, I want to hear the truth."

Ji Qing glanced at his master subconsciously. Lou Suyi noticed his shifty eyes and became displeased: "I asked you a question, why are you looking at His Majesty?"

Ji Qing could only lower his head and reply, "His Majesty came to see the Empress as soon as he finished court."

In other words, the memorial has not yet been reviewed.

"That won't do, Your Majesty. You must hurry back to the Qianqing Palace to attend to important matters."

Lou Suying's words made Murong feel uneasy. He had just arrived, and this woman was already trying to drive him away?
Ji Qing also spoke up for his master.

But then, the Empress said, "How about this, I'll go to the Qianqing Palace to keep His Majesty company."

Ji Qing felt as if his heart had been suspended in mid-air by the Empress, but now it finally settled. This shows that the Empress also values ​​His Majesty.

I think it will be finished this month, but I'm not sure exactly when.
