C50 Bad acting

She was afraid that she would wake Xiao You up and lead the black-clothed man to another place. What surprised her was that the black-clothed man was on par with or even stronger than her.

Shui Qinan and the black clothed man fought from midnight until dawn. She had sustained light injuries herself, but was still unable to harm the black clothed man by even a little.

Before she came back, the black clothed man had struck out with his palm, causing a sound to flash across the sky. When the black clothed man heard the sound, he suddenly withdrew his palm and left.

Shui Qinan knew that if not for the sound, she would have been severely injured, because the black clothed man's palm had used up all of his spirit energy.

"Elder sister, the empress has invited the various palace ladies to the palace today, is elder sister going?" Just as Xiao You was about to say something, he heard a woman's gentle voice cut in.

Shui Qinan heard the voice and raised her eyebrows. Shui Qiyu had improved a lot in the past few days, but she became more obedient after being taught by An Lingmin.

"Sister, do you want me to go or not?" Shui Qinan asked.

"What are you saying elder sister? I naturally hope that elder sister will go." Shui Qiyu was already unable to see the malicious intent in her eyes. In this period of time, An Lingmin had taught her very well.

"Then let's go together." Shui Qinan said casually.

"But big sister, the empress has invited all female family members this time, it might not be appropriate for you to bring Xiao You there." Shui Qiyu said again, her eyes filled with sincerity, in her heart, Shui Qinan could not help but praise Shui Qiyu's acting.

"What's wrong with that?" coldly asked. Upon hearing that Shui Qiyu didn't want him to carry Shui Qinan, she immediately hugged Shui Qinan tightly, and said huffily: "Xiao You, don't separate from mother!"

"Xiao You can stay at home for now, the Shui?s Mansion are heavily guarded, so nothing can happen to Xiao You." Shui Qiyu kept on persuading her, when she saw that she was at the side, she had a look at him carefully.

She remembered that this was the Spirit Beast that was with Shui Qinan when they went back to the capital.

Shui Qiyu was struck by inspiration, she pointed and said: "Is Xiao You afraid of staying in the Shui?s Mansion being boring? You can play with this little guy. My Spirit Beast Hairy Ball is the little fox that you saw that day, Xiao You. Don't you like it a lot, I can let it play with you. "

"No, Xiao You wants to be with mother!" Xiao You said angrily, not forgetting to roll his eyes at Shui Qiyu.

"Xiao You is still young, you can't leave me. If you can't bring Xiao You along for this palace feast, you don't need to go." Shui Qinan caressed Xiao You's head and comforted him: "Xiao You is not afraid, mother will not leave."

"This... "Elder sister, how can this empress's orders be ignored?" Shui Qiyu was getting anxious, why did this Shui Qinan not follow common sense? And this Xiao You was not obedient at all.

"Why do I have to listen to her? What does she count for?" Shui Qinan sneered. You want to separate her and Xiao You? It was simply too naive to use such a lowly method against Xiao You.

"Elder sister is right, little sister was inconsiderate. Since that's the case, big sister will bring Xiao You along to the Imperial Palace." Shui Qiyu said gently, a look of unwillingness flashing past her eyes.

Originally, she wanted to separate Shui Qinan from Xiao You. However, when Shui Qinan followed her into the palace, An Lingmin would bring him away for fun reasons.

The Shui?s Mansion had a secret art that could make one forget their past. Although father does not like Shui Qinan, because Xiao You is extremely talented, father wants to take Xiao You in for his own use.

Shui Hongfu and An Lingmin thought very simply, as long as they used a secret technique on Xiao You, Xiao You would not remember Shui Qinan, and would even listen to them.

It was hard to say whether or not they could control Xiao You or not. Although Xiao You was a three year old child, it was not easy to deceive him. Furthermore, Xiao You was still in the Blue Rank.

"Then sister will pack up. Later, I will find sister and ride together in a carriage to the palace. Is that alright?" Shui Qiyu carefully asked, afraid that Shui Qinan would not agree.

Seeing Shui Qinan nod her head, Shui Qiyu heaved a sigh of relief. She stood up slowly and blessed Shui Qinan: "Then little sister will take her leave first."

The further Shui Qiyu went, the more interesting Shui Qinan felt. She clearly hated her to death, yet she 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 that the Empress had given him.

"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 softly as he closed the picture book in his hand. 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 a filial person, but he was unusually stubborn in matters of marriage. He didn't even listen to her words. 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." After Hou Qingyu finished speaking, he left the empress'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 comforted his, "Didn't the empress ask a lady from a noble family today? King Xia only disagrees because they have too little contact with women. Perhaps they might be interested in something today?"

"I hope so." the queen said.

Shui Qinan and Shui Qiyu sat in the carriage and arrived at the entrance of the imperial palace. Xiao You jumped down from the carriage, and said: "Mother, last time we went there, it was too dark, and Xiao You didn't have time to see what the imperial palace looked like."

"Then, when Xiao You saw it now, did he feel that the palace was very grand?" Shui Qiyu pretended to ask gently.

Xiao You turned his head to look at Shui Qiyu, holding her breath. What did this annoying big sister mean when he was talking to his mother? Xiao You said arrogantly: "I don't think so. It's even less beautiful than my mother and I used to be."

"Kids only know how to talk nonsense. You'll know it if you go in without going in." Although Shui Qiyu's tone was very gentle, it was still ridiculing in her eyes, as for what experience she had with people, she only knew how to boast.

"I'm not spouting nonsense." Xiao You said with dissatisfaction. After he finished speaking, he was not willing to talk too much with Shui Qiyu as he ran behind Shui Qinan, acting as if he did not want to be near him.
