Shui Qianyu let out a sigh of relief when she saw Shui Qiannan nod. He then stood up and blessed Shui Qiannan. ”Then little sister will take her leave first.”

Shui Qianyu walked further and further away, but Shui Qiannan found her very interesting. He hated her to death, yet he had no choice but to pretend to be obedient and gentle in front of her.

Within the empress dowager's palace.

”Muhou, what are you doing?” Hou Qingyu frowned as he looked at the picture book the Empress had given him. It was filled with beautiful women.

”Look, these are all the concubines of the court officials. Do you find them pleasing to the eye?” The empress beamed as she spoke. All the women in this book had been meticulously selected by her, and her family was pure and good-natured.

”Mother, your son still doesn't want to get married.” Hou Qingyu said in a gentle voice as he closed the book in his hand. He knew nothing about his mother. The woman chosen would certainly help to consolidate his position.

”Ridiculous!” The empress slapped the table and said angrily, ”What do you mean you don't want to get married? Your royal brother already has several juniors and has already chosen the candidate for the crown prince's consort, what about you? ”

”Wouldn't it be better if all these mothers were chosen for royal brother? Your son doesn't want to marry a girl he doesn't like. Hou Qingyu said calmly.

”You …” Hou Qingyu had always been filial and filial. However, he was unusually stubborn when it came to marriage. Even Hou Qingyu would not listen to her. The empress suppressed her anger and said, ”It's rare for you to come to the palace. Go visit your imperial brother.”

”Yes, your son shall take his leave.” With that, Hou Qingyu left the queen's chamber to look for Hou Ziming.

”Momo, why do you think that Yu'er is so stubborn? How can there be true love in the royal family?” The Queen sighed.

Behind her, the mama consoled her, ”Didn't the empress ask out with a young noble house today? The Xia Emperor has too little contact with women, that's why he disagrees. Perhaps he's interested in something today?”

”I hope so.” the queen said.

Shui Qiannan and Shui Qianyu rode the carriage to the entrance of the palace. Little Right jumped down from the carriage and said, ”Mother, it was too dark last time. Little Right didn't have time to see what the palace looks like.”

”Now that Little Right has seen it, does it feel like the palace is very grand?” Shui Qianyu pretended to ask gently.

Xiao Jin turned his head to look at Shui Qianyu, holding his breath. Why was this annoying elder sister interrupting when he was talking to his mother? Little Right proudly said, ”I don't think so. My mother and I were even more beautiful than we were in the past.”

”Kids only know how to talk nonsense. You'll know it if you go in without going in.” Although Shui Qianyu's tone was very gentle, her eyes were full of mockery. What kind of world could Shui Qiannan have met? He only knew how to boast.

”I'm not spouting nonsense.” He didn't want to talk to Shui Qianyu any longer, so he ran over to Shui Qianyu's side with an expression that said that he didn't want to get too close to her.
