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

Chapter 427 The Empress is a vengeful woman

"I didn't mean to disturb you, but His Majesty insisted that I come to keep him company." Lou Suying said, then tried to get up. "Perhaps I should go out?"

Upon hearing this, Murong pressed her down: "Don't move, stay right here."

Lou Suying found it amusing. His Majesty the Emperor was clearly focused on handling state affairs, yet he insisted on having her accompany him. Didn't he think her presence significantly reduced his efficiency?

Just as she was internally complaining, Murong took a deep breath on her neck.

She felt a tingling sensation all over her body, and her legs went weak.

In addition, Murong's hands were wandering improperly over her body, and she couldn't sit still for a while: "I'm too heavy, Your Majesty must be very tired, why don't I sit next to you?"

"I told you not to move," Murong said softly.

Lou Suyi was speechless. Anyway, he was the one who suffered, and she didn't lose anything, so she could do whatever he wanted.

But even though he was handling official business, he soon started touching her inappropriately, and somehow the two ended up kissing.

This kiss was quite something; it almost set off a major conflict.

Seeing Murong's sexy appearance controlled by desire, Lou Suyi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She gave Murong a push and said seriously, "I'm serious, I think I'd better go out."

She hasn't finished her postpartum confinement and can't satisfy His Majesty the Emperor. Why should he keep her by his side, able to touch her but not have her?

Murong knew that Lou Suyi's words made sense, but his empress was so fragrant and soft, and holding her in his arms made him very satisfied.

"Alright, go out." Murong finally reluctantly gave up, otherwise his attention would be on the Empress and he wouldn't be able to focus on handling state affairs.

Lou Suying quickly bit his lip, and seeing his dark eyes, she suppressed a laugh and hurriedly left the study.

Seeing her master's beaming smile, Yan Hui was a little bewildered. What had His Majesty done to make the Empress laugh like that?

After the Empress had walked a little further away, Yan Hui asked in a low voice, "Have you noticed that Her Majesty is becoming more and more...?"

"Which one is that?" Jinshu didn't understand.

Yan Hui frowned, and it took her a while to find a suitable adjective: "radiant with joy?"

Jinshu couldn't help but chuckle: "That's because His Majesty and the Empress have a good relationship. Just do your job well, and don't worry about your master's love life."

Yan Hui knew this principle, but she was worried that the Empress would fall into it, while His Majesty was fickle.

Although she had her doubts, she still believed in her master's abilities and that he would surely be able to capture His Majesty in the future.

Think back to the day the Empress gave birth. His Majesty stayed by her side the whole time, and even cleaned up the mess himself. This shows that the Empress holds a very important place in His Majesty's heart.

Time flies, and soon it's Lunar New Year's Eve again, marking the end of another year.

The royal family banquet also had many tables set up. All the princes and dukes brought their families into the palace. Murong Ze sat at a table with Lou Suyi, Empress Dowager Chen, and several noble ladies of the rank of concubine or above.

As for the other concubines of lower rank, two separate tables were set up, while those of lower rank had no opportunity to attend the royal family banquet.

Consort De has been keeping a low profile lately; to be precise, she has reached a state of detachment from worldly desires. She glanced at Lou Suying, who sat beside Murong, and thought to herself that Lou Suying certainly knew how to choose her birth date. She had completed her postpartum confinement just in time for the New Year, and this woman had given birth to a prince. As Empress, Lou Suying was undoubtedly very successful.

Lou Suyi, who hadn't been seen in a long time, looked plump and radiant, and seemed even more beautiful than when she was last seen.

Last time, the civil and military officials impeached Lou Suyi but failed to suppress her. In addition, this woman gave birth to the second prince, making her position as empress even more secure. As a result, the princes and princesses who used to look down on Lou Suyi all came to toast and congratulate her.

But Murong protected Lou Suyi, so Lou Suyi didn't drink a drop of wine; most of the wine ended up in Murong's mouth.

People were also adept at reading people's expressions, so they eventually started offering tea instead of wine to Lou Suyi. The emperor was even more pleased with this gesture.

Princess Nan'an was also among the people offering toasts.

I still remember that year on the Emperor's birthday, she specially brought her child into the palace. At that time, Murong had no heir. Her and the Prince of Nan'an's actions were nothing more than trying to destroy Murong's heart. She even dreamed that her child would be adopted by Murong and become the crown prince.

How could the couple have imagined that Lou Suying was already pregnant with the Crown Prince?

Now look what's happened. With Lou Suyi giving birth to one prince after another, it only makes their original plans seem ridiculous.

Now they have no choice but to keep a low profile and hope that the emperor and empress will not hold a grudge.

Seeing the Princess of Nan'an's cautious manner, Lou Suyi smiled and asked, "Does Your Highness wish to hold Xiao'er?"

The second prince is still a day away from his full moon, but his features have already developed. He is a fair-skinned, chubby little boy, just as handsome as the crown prince.

"It is my honor to hold Your Highness in my arms," ​​said the Princess of Nan'an, respectfully accepting the Second Prince.

But she dared not hold him for too long, fearing that something might happen to the Second Prince and she would not be able to bear the responsibility, so she hurriedly handed the Second Prince back to Lou Suyi.

Lou Suyi took the child with a loving expression, her smile enigmatic: "Thinking back to His Majesty's birthday celebration that year, the Princess Consort brought the child into the palace that day, and she even reminded His Majesty that he did not yet have any children."

Princess Nan'an never expected that Lou Suyi would settle scores at this time.

Not only the Princess of Nan'an, but others were also somewhat surprised that Lou Suyi would bring up this matter again.

Lou Suying knew all along that the Princess Consort of Nan'an harbored ulterior motives. It didn't bother her then, but now that she cared about Murong, she suddenly wanted to seek justice for him. Murong was the man she loved, and she couldn't bear to see anyone embarrass him.

Princess Nan'an was a little unsteady on her feet. Fearing that the Empress would continue to hold her accountable, she quickly admitted her mistake: "That day, I was not good at speaking and displeased Your Majesty. I am guilty."

"To err is human, to forgive divine. But I must remind the Princess Consort that loose tongues can bring disaster. It would be best to be careful with your words and actions in the future." Lou Suying's smile faded, and she instantly adopted the dignified demeanor of an empress.

Princess Nan'an felt a chill and repeatedly agreed.

The atmosphere at the family dinner improved only after Lou Suyi smiled and changed the subject.

But after this battle, everyone looked at Lou Suying with awe. Previously, they had only toasted Lou Suying because Murong doted on her.

Clearly, Empress Lou Suying is not someone to be trifled with, and she holds grudges. Even though it happened three years ago, Lou Suying still remembers it.

Thinking back to how the Lou family treated Lou Suyi in the past, Lou Suyi didn't indulge her at all. She directly severed ties with the entire Lou family and even abandoned her own father.

Murong was worried that Lou Suyi would get tired of holding the baby, so he took Xiao Muxiao from her arms. Lou Suyi was a little unhappy about this, saying, "I've only been holding him for a little while."

She had gone through so much to give birth to her child, but she didn't even have the chance to hold him for a little while.
