”Back then, Qing Yu was inconsiderate.” Hou Qingyu thought to himself, ”Not good. The Queen Mother must have thought that he had taken a fancy to Shui Xin, so she decided to ride in the same carriage with her.”

Shui Xin'er nodded her head and followed the empress. She did not look at Hou Qingyu like the rest of the ladies. She was determined to win against Hou Qingyu. As long as she could please the empress, nothing else would be a problem.

Qin Yan tugged on Shui Qianyu's sleeve and asked, ”Little sister Yu'er, does the empress like little sister Xin'er?”

Shui Qianyu said gently, ”I'm not sure about that, and my sister rarely goes to the palace.”

Qin Yan knew she wouldn't be able to get any answers from Shui Qianyu, so she snorted in dissatisfaction and walked to the other side.

”Mother, when those beautiful older sisters saw that Xia king thing, their eyes lit up!” Little Right excitedly said, ”Just like when Little Right saw delicious food.”

”You only know how to eat other than what you like.” Shui Qiannan said in amusement.

”Little Right loves mother the most. Mother, hug.” Little Right said coquettishly. Shui Qiannan was amused by Little Right. He picked him up, pinched his cheeks and said, ”Little Right has gotten fat. It's time to lose some weight.”

”I'm not. Mom, you're talking nonsense.” Little Right protested. Little Right sat in the pavilion and ate a lot of snacks.

In order to maintain her appearance, the other young mistresses did not even touch the pastries on the plate. This made Little Right feel very happy, because all the delicious food belonged to him. In the end, he was still a child. Once he had eaten his fill, he started to feel sleepy and wanted to sleep.

”Mother, I'm trapped.” Shui Qiannan was lying on his right arm.

Some of the ladies couldn't help but look at the child in Shui Qiannan's arms. They felt that this child was extremely adorable, carved from jade. However, it was a pity that a mother did not know shame. Before a child was married, even a child would grow up to be ashamed.

Shui Qiannan coldly swept his gaze over the people around him and the girl. These ladies were spoiled when they were in the house; he had never seen such a cold gaze before. They were all frightened and no longer dared to look at Shui Qiannan.

Shui Qiannan felt that someone was staring at her. When he raised his head, he saw that it was actually Hou Ziming. When Hou Ziming saw that Shui Qinan had noticed his gaze, he did not avoid him and continued to size Shui Qiannan up in an unbridled manner.

Veins on Shui Qiannan's hands were exposed. He dared to look at her with such a disgusted expression. Was he courting death?

Hou Ziming acted as if he did not feel Shui Qiannan's disgust at all as he lifted his leg and walked towards him. Hou Ziming walked in front of Shui Qiannan and said frivolously, ”The young mistress of the Shui family is really breathtaking today.”

When Shui Qianyu saw Hou Ziming looking for Shui Qiannan, she hurriedly walked up to him and said with a smile, ”Big sister has always been prettier than I am, but big sister doesn't like going out, so very few people know about it.”
