My elder sister forced me to change my marriage? I became the favorite in the harem by eating melons

Zhang Ying, who was standing by, also stood up at the right time and bowed to Yu Huan and said, "I greet the Queen."

Yu Huan knew the intentions of these two people very well, so even seeing Wu Qingying coming to Kunning Palace was within Yu Huan's expectations. Yu Huan just smiled and said, "Since Wu Zhaoyi and Zhang Guiren are here, let's go in and sit together. It's hot outside."

"Thank you Queen!"

"Yes, Queen!"

Wu Qingying gave Zhang Ying a look that indicated that you still have some ideas. The last time she came to Kunning Palace, she just stood there waiting in vain. In the end, not only did she not get in as she wished, she didn't even get to see Yu Huan.

As expected, Zhang Ying had the best ideas, and she did not disappoint me. I had only been strolling outside for a short while when I happened to run into Yu Huan coming back.

Zhang Ying was right. Since she couldn't see Yu Huan, she could just arrange for a servant from Kunning Palace to get rid of her.

If we met face to face, no matter how powerful Yu Huan was, he wouldn't be able to get rid of me so easily, right?

……

Kunning Palace

Almost as soon as he sat down, he heard Wu Qingying ask impatiently: "I heard that the Queen went to the Cining Palace?"

The answer was noncommittal. Yu Huan didn't even look at her. She nodded and said with a smile, "Wu Zhaoyi is well-informed."

"Because just now when I was boating with Concubine Zhang, we happened to pass by Kunning Palace. I thought it had been a while since I had come to Kunning Palace to pay my respects to the Queen, so I thought of bringing Concubine Zhang to pay her respects to the Queen. But the servants in your palace told me that the Queen Mother had summoned you early in the morning."

At this point, Wu Qingying paused for a moment, then continued, "Empress, why did the Queen Mother call you over so early in the morning?"

Seeing her pretending to be ignorant, Yu Huan was amused. He took a sip of tea elegantly and then looked at her: "Don't you know what the Queen Mother is doing?"

Moreover, the Wu family still has a lot of power and influence in the court. Although Wu Qingying is a third-rank concubine in the harem, the honors she enjoys are only for second-rank concubines. Moreover, there are many people in the harem who try to please Wu Qingying. If Wu Qingying wants to know something, she only needs to ask. In addition, she is particularly concerned about some things now, so she doesn't need others to tell her. She will take the initiative to ask about these things clearly.

Besides...

The Empress Dowager sent someone to invite her, and it was not something done secretly, but with great fanfare. I'm afraid that now the entire harem has heard that the Empress Dowager found two stunningly beautiful sisters from outside the palace for the Emperor.

Probably she didn't expect Yu Huan to be so unceremonious with her, which made Wu Qingying feel a little embarrassed for a moment.

But she soon calmed down. On the contrary, she quite liked Yu Huan's straightforward words. After all, she didn't like people who beat around the bush.

She hesitated for a moment, and then her eyes sparkled, as if they were about to flash. "Your Majesty, you went to the Cining Palace today. I'm sure you saw those two stunning sisters, right? How was it? Were you impressed, Your Majesty?"

This is undeniable. Yu Huan nodded and said, "It is true that you have astonished me."

"really?"

Hearing this, Wu Qingying was extremely happy. She knew the emperor too well. Although she had served him in the emperor's bed only a few times in the following years, Wu Qingying knew how fickle and amorous the emperor was. The simple beauty of a beautiful woman could not attract the emperor, but if even someone like Yu Huan could praise her beauty, one could see how beautiful she must be.

If these two sisters become the new favorite concubines in the harem, she would like to see how long that bitch Xia Wanning can be happy and proud.

"The Queen Mother suddenly summoned two stunningly beautiful sisters from outside the palace to serve the Emperor. This shows that she is really planning to go against Imperial Concubine Xia this time."

At this moment, Zhang Ying, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

She paused halfway through her words, then continued, "I just wonder if these two stunning sisters can capture the emperor's heart, or if, like the other women in the harem, the emperor's favor towards them is just a flash in the pan..."

Zhang Ying actually pointed out the key to the matter. After all, no matter how beautiful a beauty is, there are countless in the harem. If you release a beauty from the harem, at worst she can be described as a pretty girl next door.

The stunningly beautiful concubines are even more dazzling.

I'm afraid that the higher Wu Qingying's expectations, the greater the disappointment will be. After all...

If we really talk about beauty, Xia Wanning is so stunningly beautiful that even the most beautiful women in the harem would be overshadowed by her, right?

Zhang Ying's words made Wu Qingying a little worried. She looked up at Yu Huan and said, "How beautiful are those sisters? I haven't seen them with my own eyes. But you, the Queen, are so beautiful that it's hard for ordinary women to catch your eye. I wonder how highly you think of those two sisters?"

"In terms of beauty, they are indeed among the best in this harem full of beauties. As for the rest..."

Yu Huan paused for a moment, but didn't say anything else.

This made Wu Qingying very anxious. She thought that her question was not direct enough, so she asked directly on the spot: "Then according to your opinion, Queen... do these two sisters have a chance to be favored?"

"But they are naturally qualified to be favored because of their beauty. Secondly, they are the Queen Mother's people. Just based on the mother-son relationship between the Queen Mother and the Emperor, as long as the Queen Mother is willing, the Emperor should still give her this face, right?"

After hearing what Yu Huan said, Wu Qingying finally felt relieved.

Even if it is true as Zhang Ying said, that the two sisters are favored because of their beauty, it is very likely that their favor is only short-lived.

But they have another layer of relationship, don't they?

They are the people around the Queen Mother. Just based on this relationship, the Emperor's favor towards the two sisters is definitely not a flash in the pan!

After getting the answer she wanted, Wu Qingying was no longer as lifeless and energetic as she had been in the past few days. On the contrary, she was now filled with joy. She was so happy that it seemed as if she was the one who was about to be favored by the emperor.

Yu Huan glanced at her indifferently and just shook his head silently.

Wu Qingying stood up and said goodbye and left, and Yu Huan's gaze fell on Zhang Ying behind her.

"Wu Zhaoyi, I have something to say to Lady Zhang alone, you should go back first."

"The Queen?"

She seemed to not understand what Yu Huan meant by keeping Zhang Ying alone to talk. After all, she was the one who had contact with the Queen during this period. If Yu Huan had anything to say, he could just talk to her. There was no need to keep Zhang Ying alone.

In her impression, Yu Huan and Zhang Ying didn't have much private interaction, right?

With this doubt, Wu Zhaoyi didn't want to leave. No matter what, putting aside other things, Zhang Ying was hers after all!

What did Yu Huan mean by leaving Zhang Ying alone?

and also……

She had put in a lot of thought and tried every possible idea. She had used both soft and hard tactics on Yu Huan, but Yu Huan refused to see her at all. And Zhang Ying just casually gave her an idea, and she was able to meet Yu Huan so easily?

How could he stay in Kunning Palace for such a long time? Yu Huan did not hide anything from me and told me everything?

It’s not that Wu Qingying thought too much, but from this moment, from the moment Yu Huan left Zhang Ying alone, Wu Qingying couldn’t help but think too much!

Why did Yu Huan let Zhang Ying stay alone?

What are these two going to say that I can't listen to?

Or is there some unspeakable secret between Yu Huan and Zhang Ying?

Not to mention Wu Qingying's doubt and suspicion at the moment, even Zhang Ying herself was obviously confused and couldn't believe it when she heard that Yu Huan left her alone.

Indeed, just as Wu Qingying suspected, she and Yu Huan had no private contact or interactions.

Moreover, even when she defected to another wise master and was no longer loyal to Wu Qingying, she never had any thoughts about Yu Huan. After all, she did not consider Yu Huan's background at all.

How can a person who has no support of his own become her supporter?

Being stared at by Wu Qingying with suspicion, Zhang Ying was a little scared. She didn't know why. Even though she hadn't betrayed Wu Qingying or done anything bad to her in front of Yu Huan, she admitted...

This time, she persuaded Wu Qingying to come to Kunning Palace to meet the Queen. It seemed that she had given Wu Qingying a good idea, but in fact, it was because she wanted to rely on Wu Qingying to get some information from Yu Huan.

only……

She didn't feel that she had done anything wrong to Wu Qingying. On the contrary, this was what Wu Qingying herself wanted to know, wasn't it?

and so……

Zhang Ying didn't dare to look at Wu Qingying's suspicious and scrutinizing eyes. She only lowered her head timidly, and her voice trembled at this moment: "Empress... Empress, I wonder why you left me alone?"
