"Mrs. Zhang, you know that no matter your appearance, background, or other conditions, any woman in the harem can easily crush you."

"If it weren't for me, if it weren't for me speaking well of you in front of the Emperor, do you think you would have a chance to be favored? I'm afraid that even if you grow old in the harem, the Emperor won't even look at you, right?"

Wu Qingying is always like this.

Yes, she is always like this. Obviously, she has given me great favors and kindness, and obviously all the wealth and glory she has given me are enough to make me unforgettable, but she always says such things!

Yes, that's what happened, time and time again, Zhang Ying knew clearly that sooner or later it would push her into a dead end.

But Zhang Ying was unaware of this and always spoke to her in that superior and domineering manner.

She told her to stay by her side and do her job well in the future. She even warned the emperor that although she was favored, she should know whose credit it was.

She advised her not to have those shameless thoughts. The reason why the emperor favored her was entirely because she helped her and let her feel the taste of being favored by the emperor, but it did not mean that the emperor was completely in love with her.

Moreover, as if to prove to her that the emperor only had her in his heart, she even said words to slander herself in front of the emperor.

Although the emperor was on her side and his words were biased towards her, he spoke in a nonchalant manner.

But how smart is Zhang Ying?

Because when the emperor said these words, his eyes were on her. Yes, that's right. The more Wu Qingying slandered her, the more she said bad things about her in front of the emperor, although the emperor seemed to be on her side, she could clearly feel that the emperor's eyes on her were distressed and he even looked at her a little more.

It’s a pity that the self-righteous Wu Qingying obviously didn’t think of this at all.

Not only did I not expect...

I don't know if she really didn't expect it, or if she was too confident in herself. She was confident and naively thought that the emperor really had her in his heart and that the emperor really couldn't live without her.

Otherwise, even if she had a hundred courage, she would not dare to speak ill of herself so openly in front of the emperor. What's the point?

Is this to show her magnanimity? She is such a worthless person, yet she still keeps her by her side and uses her?

Or he would speak harshly of her in front of the emperor. In this way, she, who was so terrible, would naturally not be able to enter the emperor's eyes, and the emperor would look down on him even more. It was obvious that he would no longer be her opponent, let alone pose any threat to her.

Wu Qingying is a self-righteous person. Yes, that's right. Wu Qingying has always been a very self-righteous person. She thinks that everyone is born to revolve around her and she thinks she is superior to others.

Even in front of the emperor, knowing clearly that the emperor had three thousand beauties in his harem and countless women, in her heart, Wu Qingying still felt self-righteously that in the emperor's heart, no matter how many women he favored, or how long he stayed with them, or sometimes even did not come to her Ruyi Palace for several nights in a row, for Wu Qingying, her weight in the emperor's heart was still extraordinary, and no woman in the harem could compare to her.

Yes, that's right, she thought so and has always thought so.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ying couldn't help but find it funny, and she actually laughed out loud in front of Yu Huan.

Yu Huan, who was sitting on the high seat, just looked at Zhang Ying indifferently. In just a short while, countless strange expressions flashed across her face.

There is irony, ridicule, and even pity...

A hint of understanding flashed across the depths of Yu Huan's dark eyes. In this situation, the only person who could mobilize all of Zhang Ying's emotions and feelings in an instant was Wu Qingying.

Whether in the previous life or this life, Yu Huan actually didn't know much about Zhang Ying. However, in these two lives, especially this life, she had close contact with Zhang Ying and Wu Qingying, instead of relying entirely on hearing about their affairs from other people as in her previous life.

Besides, she was no longer in Damu at that time, but far away in Daxiliang. As for the things going on in the harem of Emperor Damu, she was too lazy to even ask about or care about her own elder sister, let alone people like Wu Qingying and Zhang Ying who had nothing to do with her?

Therefore, it was only occasionally when the servants in the harem talked about gossip about some place, or when the gossip about Damu spread so widely that it even spread to other countries, that the gossip would be spread with relish by the servants in the harem of Da Xiliang.

After all, this was the land where he had lived for so many years, so when Yu Huan was curious, he would listen to the servants in the harem talking about Damu's gossip.

It was also from that time that she heard everything about Zhang Ying and Wu Qingying.

However, the outside world's evaluation of Zhang Ying at that time was obviously not good. She was selfish and a ungrateful person who could never be tamed.

It is also said that Zhang Ying had purposefully joined Wu Qingying when she first entered the palace, in order to make Wu Qingying her backer and protect her in the harem, so that she would still have a way to survive in the harem.

Poor Wu Qingying, she knew nothing at that time. She was the daughter of a military family and the only daughter in the family. She had no idea how treacherous people were. Plus, she was very well protected by her father and mother.

It is said that Zhang Ying is very scheming, even though she is not good-looking and even though she comes from a humble family. However, Wu Qingying, who is simple-minded and has no bad intentions, is obviously no match for her.

If not——

Although no one knows what exactly happened between Zhang Ying and Wu Qingying over the years, everything Zhang Ying did to Wu Qingying later was despised by the whole world.

Because Zhang Ying has always told the outside world that she had just entered the palace, even though she had not yet served the emperor or met the emperor, she went straight to Wu Qingying to find a good backer for herself. As for the emperor, she did not need to take the initiative to seduce the emperor, because with such a good backer like Wu Qingying, Zhang Ying knew clearly that as long as she gained Wu Qingying's trust, then just looking at how much the emperor valued Ruyi Palace, Zhang Ying knew clearly that Wu Qingying would help her, and when the time came, she would give her a hand and let her gain favor.
