Wu Qingying wouldn't suddenly let herself drink tea for no reason.

Zhang Ying hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to ask, "Wu Zhaoyi, is there something wrong with this tea?"

Wu Qingying shook her head: "That's not a problem. The Japanese imperial family has been drinking this Qishan black tea these days."

"Qishan black tea?"

Zhang Ying was surprised when she heard this.

Seeing her surprise, Wu Qingying looked at her and said, "Why? You also know about Qishan black tea?"

Zhang Ying shook her head: "I have only heard some rumors about Qishan black tea."

"What rumors?"

"Although Qishan black tea is not as expensive as West Lake Longjing, it is very hard to find. Because Qishan black tea has the richest taste among the top ten famous teas, it is more suitable for those who are new to drinking tea and cannot get used to the bitter taste of other teas."

At this point, Zhang Ying looked up at Wu Qingying and said, "That's why Qishan black tea is not as expensive as West Lake Longjing, but it is very rare and not easy to buy. And..."

"Also, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has never had Qishan black tea before. This Qishan black tea should have been delivered to the palace recently."

At this point, Zhang Ying laughed again: "It seems that the Ministry of Internal Affairs still values ​​​​pleasuring you, Wu Zhaoyi. As soon as this Qishan black tea was delivered to the palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs quickly sent it to you, Wu Zhaoyi."

Who knew that Zhang Ying was interrupted by Wu Qingying coldly just after she finished speaking: "It would be great if the Ministry of Internal Affairs really valued me. These dog slaves in the palace who curry favor with the powerful will only go wherever the favor is bestowed on them."

"This Qishan black tea was gifted to me by the Queen."

"Queen?"

Zhang Ying was very surprised.

"That's why I was curious and wanted to ask you, what does the Queen mean by this? You said that after what happened last time, the Queen has indeed become a lot more distant from me. If it had been at the beginning, and I had begged her like that, she would never have refused me. But this time..."

"If you want to say that the Queen is disappointed with me, why did you send someone to bring me Qishan black tea?"

"The Queen knows that I don't like tea and can't stand the bitter taste of tea. She remembers my taste. Otherwise, she wouldn't have sent me this Qishan black tea right after the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent it to her."

"Mrs. Zhang, you always have ideas. Please analyze this for me. What does the Queen mean by this? It's about what happened before. My distrust and suspicion of the Queen made the Queen feel uncomfortable. But the Queen ignored me for a few days, which was considered to be a vent for her anger. She also sent someone to send me this Qishan black tea. Is she actively trying to show her goodwill to me?"

Zhang Ying: “…”

No matter how smart Zhang Ying is, she can never be a worm in Yu Huan's stomach.

and……

She is smart, but how can Yu Huan not be smart?

On the contrary, she felt that Yu Huan's intelligence and means were far superior to hers.

If this were an ordinary situation, she could still say a few words self-righteously in front of Wu Qingying, this pig-brained woman. Anyway, Wu Qingying would believe whatever she said and would never doubt herself at all.

But here is Yu Huan...

It's okay once or twice, but if it happens too many times, she would undoubtedly be shooting herself in the foot.

Although her current master is Xia Wanning, Xia Wanning will naturally protect her no matter what happens.

Moreover, considering how favored Xia Wanning is now, protecting her would only take a matter of words.

only--

For her, joining Xia Wanning was a very risky and terrifying decision. Although she and Xia Wanning had met several times in the harem, she had never been with her day and night like Wu Qingying, and she had no idea about Xia Wanning's character.

To put it nicely, I am hers now, and if anything happens to me, she will definitely find ways to protect me.

But this is just what I think. What if she doesn't want to protect herself?

On the contrary, after something happened to me, she thought I was troublesome and wanted to kick me away?

These are all things that cannot be said for sure.

The second is the Queen...

She didn't take Yu Huan seriously at the beginning, but later on, she discovered that Yu Huan was definitely not as simple as she saw on the surface.

Moreover, ever since Yu Huan entered the palace, things that even the Queen Mother could not accomplish, Yu Huan only needed to talk, not only did things get done, but she was not implicated either.

If a woman like this has no means.

Then, she is probably no longer able to stay in this harem now, right?

For the sake of safety, even though Zhang Ying is now seeking refuge with Xia Wanning, for her own sake, she naturally cannot be completely loyal to Xia Wanning. She has to find a way out for herself, right?

"I'm asking you a question, why are you in a daze?"

Wu Qingying waited for her for a long time, but she didn't say it was natural.

She spoke a little impatiently.

"Wu Zhaoyi."

Zhang Ying came back to her senses, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "I wonder what you, Wu Zhaoyi, think of the Queen's behavior?"

"What else can I think? Didn't I just say it? The Queen has ignored me for a few days. Is she teaching me a lesson? Is she sending me Qishan black tea to show her goodwill to me?"

"But this is just my personal opinion. As for what the Queen thinks, I don't know. So that's why I'm asking you this."

"Wu Zhaoyi, I don't have much time to interact with the Empress. Just as you think, that's just your own idea. I can't tell you what the Empress means at the moment. Maybe it's just like you think, after ignoring Wu Zhaoyi for a few days, the Empress specially sent this Qishan black tea to show her goodwill to you."

"Don't you usually have the most ideas? Why are they so useless now?"

Obviously, Zhang Ying's answer did not satisfy Wu Qingying, but Wu Qingying did not say anything. She just glared at her and said impatiently, "Forget it! Compared to before, you are becoming less and less capable now. Even the ideas you give me are all bad. If it weren't for you, how could the relationship between me and the queen be so awkward and awkward last time!"

In response to Wu Qingying's impolite criticism and disdain for her, Zhang Ying simply gritted her teeth and clenched her fists under her long sleeves, still showing a respectful and humble look of flattery: "Looking at this Qishan black tea, I believe you, Wu Zhaoyi, have been drinking it for a few days. In addition to ordering people to send Qishan black tea to you, Wu Zhaoyi, what else have you done in the past few days? Wu Zhaoyi, have you been to Kunning Palace to see the Queen these two days?"

"This Qishan black tea has been delivered to Kunning Palace a few days ago. When I received the Qishan black tea from the Queen, I immediately picked out a few expensive jewelry that I liked in the palace and personally went to Kunning Palace to deliver it to the Queen. As a result..."

At this point, Wu Qingying herself was a little angry: "When I arrived at Kunning Palace, the servants there told me that the Queen had gone to bed and asked me to come back. The Queen had gone to bed, so I couldn't continue to wait outside the Kunning Palace like I did last time and force the Queen to see me, right? What the hell is going on!"

"From the moment the Queen sent someone to bring me Qishan black tea, to be honest, I have been racking my brains these past few days. If the Queen really did what I thought, and ignored me for a few days before actively showing me good will, how could she refuse to see me on the pretext of resting when I personally went to Kunning Palace to ask for an audience with her?"

If Yu Huan really wanted to see me, then after waking up, he would send someone to tell me.

In the harem, although Wu Qingying's brain is not the smartest, she is not a fool either, and she can still think of such a simple thing.

It has been more than three days since I last went to Kunning Palace to ask to see Yu Huan, but Yu Huan has not shown any intention of seeing me.

Because she was uncertain and also because of the Emperor's affairs, Wu Qingying was now distracted and without energy.

He had been staying in Ruyi Palace these past few days, throwing tantrums and not going anywhere.

"Then Wu Zhaoyi, what are you thinking now?"

"What else can I think?"

I can't help but get angry when I mention Wu Qingying!

She was so angry that her face instantly turned ashen, and she glared at Zhang Ying in front of her: "Isn't it all because of you?! If it weren't for you, the relationship between me and the queen would have become so strained? If it weren't for those bad ideas you came up with, maybe the emperor would still be in my Ruyi Palace now!"

Zhang Ying looked pitiful, frightened and afraid to speak.

She didn't even dare to defend herself, because she knew that Wu Qingying was very angry and saying more would be useless. On the contrary, the more she said, the more mistakes she would make.

Even if what she said was right, Wu Qingying felt that she was just quibbling.
