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

If it was Nanny Yue before, after hearing what Yu Huan said, she would probably have yelled like before, saying that Yu Huan didn't take her seriously.

But the situation is different now, and it is obvious that Yu Huan took what he said to heart.

Nanny Yue was also very tactful: "Yes, Madam. Then I will withdraw first."

……

Not long after Nanny Yue left, Qiu'er came in to serve.

Looking at Qiu'er's equally bad expression, it was obvious that she had experienced something on the way to send Zhaodi back.

Yu Huan did not ask, but waited for Qiu'er to tell her in person.

"Miss."

Qiu'er first called Yu Huan with a serious face.

Yu Huan's eyes fell on her: "Hmm? How is it? Is Zhaodi in better condition?"

Qiu Er nodded: "My lady, you are much better now. You just look very sad. I am afraid you will be sad all night."

Because she was the empress's personal servant, she had to take care of the empress's food, clothing and daily life.

Originally, she and Zhaodi were the ones who took care of the empress's food, clothing and daily life, but now Zhaodi suddenly became like that.

She helped Zhaodi go back to rest. It was obviously not going to work for the empress without someone to serve her, so after she settled Zhaodi down, she hurried over.

"My lady, Zhaodi's father and mother don't seem to treat her well."

When she said this, Qiu'er seemed to be recalling something.

Thinking back to when she sent Zhao Di back just now, she originally wanted to accompany Zhao Di for a while longer, after all, Zhao Di looked very helpless and pitiful now, and she was a little worried. But the Empress couldn't leave someone to serve her, so she asked a palace maid who had a good relationship with her to help look after her.

But when she was about to leave, Zhaodi grabbed her hand as if she was suddenly frightened by something.

At first, she just thought that Zhaodi was frightened, or remembered something she dared not recall, so she pulled her back and wanted her to stay with her more.

At least that's what Qiu'er thought at that time. In her heart, Zhaodi just behaved a little out of control at that moment, but she was still able to distinguish the reality and obviously recognized herself.

but--

until--

Until the moment Zhaodi grabbed him, until the words came out of Zhaodi's mouth: "Dad, Mom, I was wrong, don't hit me! I beg you, don't hit me! I really know I was wrong! Zhaodi was wrong! Zhaodi was wrong, Zhaodi shouldn't have snatched the grain of rice that her brother dropped on the ground! Zhaodi shouldn't have sobbed..."

God knows, when he heard Zhaodi hugging him, pulling his sleeves, and crying and saying these words, and the look in her eyes when he looked at her, it was obvious that he could not tell the difference between reality and falsehood.

She regards herself as her relative, as her parents?

Seeing Zhaodi being so scared of him, it was as if he was looking back on her past that was too painful or scary to recall?

Although Qiu'er and Zhaodi had not known each other for long, when she saw Zhaodi like this, it was obvious that Qiu'er felt distressed.

She wanted to comfort Zhaodi and bring her back to reality.

But as she got closer, it was obvious that Zhaodi was extremely afraid of her. Before she got close, she curled up like a hedgehog and didn't dare to look at her.

Just like her next move, he was obviously trying to comfort her, hold her in his arms, calm her down, and let her take a good look at who he was, but she thought she wanted to hit her. She subconsciously hugged her head and shouted at her, crying: "Wuwu Dad and Mom, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please don't hit me, don't wuwu! I was really wrong! I kowtow to you, please forgive me this time, I really won't dare to do it again! Please forgive me wuwu!"

At that moment, when Qiu'er saw Zhaodi like this, she wondered what Zhaodi had experienced in the past that had left such a huge shadow on her.

Later, Zhaodi's emotions seemed to gradually stabilize, but she was in a daze, as if she recognized herself, but also as if she didn't recognize herself. When she was talking to her, she didn't even look at herself.

This made Qiu'er a little worried, but she also knew that Zhaodi had locked herself in her own world, because in this way she was protecting herself.

While finding someone to keep an eye on Zhaodi and watch over her every step of the way, Qiu'er made sure that everything was given and that Zhaodi would not be harmed in any way or even commit self-harm. Only then did Qiu'er hurry back and tell her mother about this matter.

Qiu'er was panting, but she didn't dare to pause: "My queen, Zhaodi was very emotional when she mentioned her parents. Before she entered the palace, she must have lived with her parents, and her parents seemed to beat her often because of her brother."

She heard this from Zhaodi's terrified screams just now.

"Zhao Di seems to have three older sisters. But when I helped Zhao Di out just now, I seemed to hear Zhao Di say that two of her three sisters had died, and only one was still alive. The living one also lay in bed all day and could not move. It was her father and mother who took care of her..."

But when it comes to this, Qiu'er hesitated again: "But my queen, if Zhaodi's father and mother really don't like Zhaodi, don't like their daughter, and only care about her only brother, and don't take care of her sister who has been lying in bed for so many years, is there some hidden reason behind this?"

"Hidden secret?"

This made Yu Huan doubt what Zhaodi said just now when she didn't show any unusual emotions.

In this world, are there any parents who don’t truly love their children?

I don’t know if it was my illusion, but when I heard Zhaodi say this, Yu Huan felt that something was wrong.

But she couldn't tell what was wrong. Now after hearing Qiu'er say this, Yu Huan seemed to understand it instantly.

That is--

There is obviously something else behind Zhaodi's words.

Indeed, in this world, there is no parent who does not truly love their children. After all, they are their own flesh and blood that they have carried for ten months and given birth to with great difficulty.

But in Zhaodi's case, she is obviously an exception, and her parents are also exceptions.

In her world, in this world, there really are parents who do not love their daughter. These parents, these existences, are her biological father and mother.

"How is Zhaodi now?"

"I have someone guarding her closely, so she should be fine."

Hearing this, Yu Huan nodded: "Well, don't disturb her during this period of time, let her have a good rest, and let her come to Kunning Palace to take up her post after she has calmed down."

"Yes, ma'am."

"It's just that your Majesty..."

Qiu'er looked hesitant, and the words that were on the tip of her tongue seemed to stop at this moment.

Seeing her expression, Yu Huan looked at her: "What's wrong? Just say whatever you want to say."

"But Madam, Zhaodi is ours now anyway. If Zhaodi had been beaten and abused frequently when she was with her parents, and if there was also Zhaodi's sister lying in the hospital bed..."

"When I heard Zhaodi mention her sister, her eyes lit up. Should we help Zhaodi?"

"If Zhaodi doesn't ask us, how can we help? Besides, this is Zhaodi's own family affair, isn't it?"

"Your Highness, you are the Queen, high above us. Zhaodi is just a lowly maid in the palace. Just like when we were in the Prime Minister's Mansion, sometimes we wanted to help, but we always thought of the disparity in status and didn't want to trouble others, and we were also worried about being rejected..."

All in all, Yu Huan could understand what Qiu'er wanted to express.

That is, Zhaodi and they are obviously not from the same world.

For Zhaodi, being able to stay in the Weiyang Palace and become a close and trusted servant of Yu Huan was already a great honor for her. She would never dare to have any other thoughts, let alone mention them.

Hearing Qiu'er say this, it does make sense.

Yu Huan nodded. She had been too busy with the affairs of the harem recently and had forgotten about Zhaodi.

After all, in her previous life, Zhaodi didn’t live long before she was tortured to death by Yu Baozhu and Nanny Yue.

Not to mention that in this life, Zhaodi still has relatives outside the palace.

"Wait for two days, Zhao Di will be in a better mood. You have the best relationship with her. If I ask her, she may not tell me the truth. But you are different. When the time comes, you can ask her, and maybe she will tell you."

Hearing this, Qiu'er's face lit up and she said happily, "Yes, Madam!"

……

During this period, there were not many incidents in the harem.

Except for the period when Yu Huan was very busy at the beginning after entering the palace, she was too busy to spare time in order to check the account books of the harem. But in the following period of time, after all the work was done and the account books were completely checked, Yu Huan finally had free time.

Occasionally, a few concubines from the harem would come to her Kunning Palace to sit, but they would just chat and gossip about her daily life. Some of them would hint at something and try to find out what she was thinking.

It turned out that Yu Huan was just like the smiling fox, with a smile on his face but knowing nothing when asked. As a result, those women came with hope but left with disappointment.

The only two sisters Qingluan and Qingnu who are in the limelight in the harem now are the empress dowager.

Because the emperor had been staying with them during this period, on the night that the sisters Qingluan and Qingnu slept with him, Ye Ling gave them a palace the next day.

In just a few days, she went from having no official status to becoming a third-rank Zhaoyi on par with Wu Qingying.
