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

Their disgusting true faces are truly exposed.

Wu Qingying couldn't help but get angry when she thought of this.

She even thought more than once that it was a good thing that her family had some influence and her father had a lot of power in the court.

If not...

There are a bunch of snobbish people in the harem. Otherwise, after I fall out of favor, I don’t know how I will be bullied by them in this palace.

Now they only dared to rely on the fact that the emperor would occasionally come to their bedrooms and stay for a night or two, but in her place, the emperor either never came or did come for a few days, but that was always to deliberately provoke Concubine Xia and make her angry.

It’s not because the emperor is still thinking about the affection he had with her in the past.

To be honest, in their eyes, it would be better for the emperor not to come to her Ruyi Palace.

He didn't come here for her, and he didn't favor her so many times for her. It's not like at the beginning, when the emperor really had her in his heart.

What now?

Wu Qingying is a proud person, so she wants to prove herself.

This proves that she still has a place in the emperor's heart, and that the emperor did not favor her in Ruyi Palace just because he was angry with Xia Wanning and wanted to provoke her.

Even during this period of time, she already had the answer in her heart.

but--

People are like this. You may think so. After experiencing countless disappointments, you have completely given up and think so too.

But such words must never come out of other people's mouths, especially from the mouths of those women who are waiting to watch the fun, to ridicule her, and to laugh at and mock her behind her back.

Therefore, Wu Qingying was eager to prove to them that in the emperor's heart, she was not so unbearable, even though she was a former favorite concubine. However, in the emperor's heart, no matter how much she liked Xia Wanning and how much she wanted to provoke Xia Wanning, she, the former favorite concubine, still had a place for her.

If not...

"In short, no matter what you say today, I will definitely go to this Yangxin Palace. I have to go."

Sometimes Wu Qingying's brain is not as quick as Zhang Ying's, nor does she think as comprehensively as Zhang Ying, but she is not a complete fool.

She went there for a reason.

Wu Qingying looked at Zhang Ying and smiled: "This time, I must completely consolidate my position in the emperor's mind."

As she spoke, she called Yingchun to start dressing herself up. Yingchun was a new maid, and she was much better than her previous one in terms of work, conversation and her cleverness in making her happy. Wu Qingying kept her by her side to serve her.

Facts have proved that Yingchun is not only sweet-talking and considerate, but also makes Wu Qingying very satisfied when she is tying her hair and putting makeup on her.

She thought that when she appeared before the emperor later, he would have the illusion that his eyes would light up.

While the emperor is currently disliking Xia Wanning and is indifferent to her, she must seize this opportunity. Maybe this time with the emperor, as long as she can present a completely new and different Wu Zhaoyi, her restoration to the emperor's favor will be just around the corner. She doesn't need to listen to or care about the gossip in the harem.

She wants them to shut their mouths completely!

Thinking of this, Wu Qingying no longer had any anger in her heart or on her face. On the contrary, she felt very calm.

There was even a smug smile on his face.

It is obvious that she is determined to regain the emperor's favor this time!

She also firmly believed that she would regain favor this time!

"Lady Zhang, I will go to the Yangxin Palace to see the emperor later. Will you go with me?"

Although Zhang Ying was also the emperor's concubine and the emperor had favored her several times before, Wu Qingying was not afraid at all that Zhang Ying would steal her limelight.

Plus, Zhang Ying herself had no interest in vying for favor, otherwise she wouldn't have been so confident in keeping her by her side for all these years. It was precisely because she knew that Zhang Ying had no interest in vying for favor that she was so confident in keeping her by her side for so many years. She had never doubted the ideas and methods she came up with for herself!

Hearing this, Zhang Ying bowed respectfully towards Wu Qingying and said, "Lady Zhang, I won't go. Besides, it's not appropriate for me to go to that kind of occasion. In addition, I am always subconsciously timid in front of the emperor..."

This was just Zhang Ying's excuse for refusal. She was also afraid that if she said it too much, it would make Wu Qingying suspicious.

As expected, after hearing Concubine Zhang's refusal, Wu Qingying sneered with disdain: "Look at how useless you are. No wonder you can only stay by my side all these years. Every time the emperor sees you, even though you are his woman, he doesn't even want to look at you."

Hearing the voice, Zhang Ying concealed the strange look in her eyes.

See, this is why I still wanted to betray Wu Qingying and join another wise master even though she was so good to me.

This is the reason.

Although Wu Qingying was good to me, she never treated me as a human being. If Wu Qingying had been a little respectful to me, given that I had received so much favor from her over the years, I would never be an ungrateful person.

Rather...

Zhang Ying closed her eyes and sighed in her heart.

Wu Zhaoyi, you really can't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. You really haven't treated me as a human being over the years.

I am grateful to you in my heart, but I have already repaid my gratitude to you and your kindness to me over the years.

If I hadn't been by your side advising you all these years, maybe with your arrogance, your self-righteousness, and your character that is even no less arrogant than Concubine Xia, you would have been sent to the cold palace long ago, and it would have been impossible for you to stay in Ruyi Palace safely.

and so--

If we really talk about favors, Zhang Ying felt that she had already repaid all the favors she owed Wu Qingying over the years.

I don't owe Wu Qingying anything at all. If I really owe anything, it is Wu Qingying who owes me.

After saying goodbye and leaving Ruyi Palace, Zhang Ying did not rush back to her residence, but changed her position and went directly to Kunning Palace.

Qiu'er and Nanny Yue were obviously surprised by Concubine Zhang's sudden arrival.

But when Yu Huan heard the news that Concubine Zhang wanted to see her, she was not surprised at all, as if she had guessed that Concubine Zhang would come to see her.

"I see you, the Queen."

After Zhang Ying came in, she first bowed respectfully towards Yu Huan.

Although Yu Huan had not been in the palace for long and she had only met Yu Huan a few times, Zhang Ying did not know why, but every time she saw Yu Huan, she always felt that Yu Huan was the master she had been looking for for so many years and whom she truly wanted to seek refuge with.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that she saw a feeling in Yu Huan that belonged to her, a feeling that only Yu Huan could understand.

She thought that if she really followed Yu Huan, Yu Huan would definitely not treat her the same way as Wu Qingying. On the contrary, she knew that Yu Huan would respect her and honor her.

Even though she was the queen and he was just a small noble.

But this means following the right master.

Yu Huan smiled slightly at Zhang Ying's arrival and told Qiu'er to find a seat for her.

"Why did Lady Zhang come here suddenly? This is beyond my expectation."

After all, she and Zhang Ying had no connection.

But hearing Yu Huan say that she was surprised, she never thought that she would come over suddenly. But for Zhang Ying, who was good at observation, she didn't see any surprise on Yu Huan's face at all.

Obviously Yu Huan had guessed my arrival and knew that I would come to find her.

If Qiu'er and Nanny Yue outside the palace were surprised by her sudden arrival, she believed it, because a person's subconscious facial expression and eyes will not lie.

Just like when Qiu'er and Nanny Yue saw her sudden arrival and their gazes fell on her, they obviously didn't expect that she would suddenly come to Kunning Palace. They were surprised and suspicious.

But Yu Huan did not have this expression. From this alone, it can be seen that Yu Huan was not surprised or shocked at his arrival. On the contrary, for Yu Huan, it was more like something that was expected.

Thinking of this, seeing Yu Huan laughing, Zhang Ying also laughed a few times to please him: "It just so happens that I have nothing to do in my own palace, so I thought that since I have nothing to do and I have known the Queen for a long time, I don't know why, from the first time I saw the Queen, I subconsciously felt close to her and wanted to get closer to her. So, after thinking about it, I came here."

At this point, Zhang Ying nodded cautiously to Yu Huan and said, "I know that the Queen has been busy with the affairs of the harem during this period, and has been too busy to spare time, so I should have come to visit the Queen a few days ago to pay my respects to her, but when I thought about how busy and tired the Queen is, and how she would have to divide her attention to deal with me, I thought about it and decided to wait until you are almost done with your work, and then I will come to pay my respects to her."

Zhang Ying's IQ was definitely among the best in the Damu harem in her previous life.

Even someone as arrogant as Yu Baozhu is no match for her, which shows how powerful Zhang Ying is.

Yu Huan felt that with Zhang Ying's means and wisdom, if she wanted to win favor, even if she did not have a noble birth or peerless beauty, as long as she wanted, she could rely on her intelligence and talent to gain a foothold in the harem with the emperor's favor as long as she was willing.

But unfortunately——

Among the women who have entered this harem, is there any one who can truly remain calm and not fight or compete?

Especially for someone like Zhang Ying who has no identity and no status, if she does not fight for favor, then not only will she never have a chance to make a breakthrough in the harem, she may not even be able to save her own life.
