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

Who knew that before Zhang Ying could finish her words, Yu Huan interrupted her: "Zhang Ying, although I have just entered the palace, it does not mean that I know nothing."

"I just told you that I have been looking at the harem account books and the names of the concubines. This includes when you entered the palace, what happened in the palace, and what you did. Although the records here cannot fully summarize it, I can probably guess some of it."

At this point, Yu Huan's eyes fell on Zhang Ying for who knows how many times. Yu Huan first stared at Zhang Ying for a while, then smiled and said, "At least, from the records in the harem, I know that Wu Zhaoyi has treated you well over the years."

"Empress, I believe that we are the same kind of people. Perhaps when I say this, the Empress will sneer at my words. I know that my status is humble, so I can't be compared with the Empress."

"But Queen, I believe that with your intelligence, you will be able to guess that this is not what I meant."

Obviously, Qiu'er might not understand what Zhang Ying said.

Yes, Qiu'er really didn't understand, but when Zhang Ying said the first sentence, Yu Huan understood what she meant by the phrase "a kind of people".

only--

It might be because she had been wholeheartedly by Wu Qingying's side over the years, and no matter when, she really cared about her and gave her advice.

She just hoped that Wu Qingying would treat her like a queen. Although she had not yet followed Yu Huan and had not known Yu Huan for long, for some reason, in her heart, Zhang Ying felt that the master she wanted to follow was a master like Yu Huan.

But just by looking at Yu Huan's attitude towards her at this moment, Zhang Ying knew that Yu Huan did not want her.

But Zhang Ying did not give up: "Perhaps, in the heart of the Queen, she feels that Concubine Wu has been so good to her over the years, which makes me, a person of humble origin and low status, not be able to stand out in front of so many beauties in the harem. But the Queen..."

Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, Yu Huan shook her head again and interrupted her: "Noble Lady Zhang, I think that in your heart, you understand me. Otherwise, you would not have risked betraying Concubine Wu and being discovered by her, and specially ran to my Kunning Palace."

"Wu Zhaoyi is a person who cannot tolerate even the slightest bit of sand in her eyes. If she knew that you were not loyal to her, I'm afraid Wu Zhaoyi would no longer be merciful to you."

Having said that, Yu Huan stared at Zhang Ying in front of him for a while.

The woman in front of you may be feeling wronged.

There are grievances now and in the past.

At this moment, at least in this instant, Yu Huan began to have some changes in his usual views of her.

After all, in the previous life, I only heard that Zhang Ying was an untameable dog around Wu Qingying.

At least in the eyes of outsiders like them, she didn't know everything at that time. She just heard that Zhang Ying had been with Wu Qingying for many years. If Wu Qingying had any good things over the years, even the opportunity to serve the emperor, because Zhang Ying was already someone by her side, as long as she could give it to Zhang Ying, she would try to find ways to benefit Zhang Ying.

That is why……

Emperor Damu had so many concubines in his harem, but the name of a small noble lady, Zhang Ying, was so widely known in other countries. Obviously, it was because of this.

At least, Yu Huan's previous perception was the same as theirs. He simply thought that Zhang Ying was a ruthless character. Even though she had no identity or background, perhaps her looks, in their eyes, could be considered that of a beautiful girl from a small family.

But we also have to see where the comparison is made. Obviously, compared with the harem and the emperor's many beauties, there is really no comparison.

but--

Yu Huan never thought that no matter whether it was a man or a woman, when they liked each other, it was definitely not just because of that person's beautiful looks.

If this is really the case—

She also admitted that in this world, whether it is a man or a woman, as long as they are good-looking, they obviously have an advantage no matter what time it is.

Just like Hua Qingluo in the previous life, if it weren’t for Hua Qingluo’s stunning face, even if I didn’t fall in love with him at first sight, I would have definitely felt what it was like to have a heart-pounding feeling, right?

"So, Queen, you also know that even if Wu Zhaoyi treats me well, if she knows that I betrayed her, even if I didn't betray her and I never said anything to her, I just found another wise master, but in Wu Zhaoyi's eyes, I will still not be tolerated, right?"

Indeed, there was one thing Zhang Ying said that was true. After she arrived at Kunning Palace and knelt in front of Yu Huan, everything she said was true.

Not a single lie.

Including the fact that she was about to speak but tears were flowing before she could cry, which was different from the crying look of ordinary women. Obviously, Zhang Ying did not cry like this.

I don’t know why, but in fact, the person Qiu’er liked at the beginning was Wu Zhaoyi. At the beginning, Qiu’er did like Wu Zhaoyi because the Queen helped Wu Zhaoyi.

She served Duo Niang beside the Empress and knew very well that the Empress would never help someone without a reason, but in this case, the Empress did help Wu Zhaoyi.

Therefore, Qiu'er couldn't help but wonder how much the Queen valued Wu Zhaoyi.

On the contrary, it was Concubine Zhang who repeatedly sowed discord between the Empress and Concubine Wu, causing Concubine Wu, who was originally so sincere about the Empress and truly wanted to join her, to gradually become alienated from her Empress just because of Concubine Zhang's few words of provocation.

So how can Qiu'er value Zhang Ying?

Normally, whenever she saw Qiu'er, or if Concubine Wu's attitude towards her own queen changed again, she would know that it must be Concubine Zhang who was saying bad things about her queen in front of Concubine Wu again.

and also--

Wu Zhaoyi trusted her so much and made great use of her.

If there was no Concubine Wu, there would not be Concubine Zhang today.

Perhaps, in this ruthless harem, no matter how smart Zhang Ying is, it is impossible for her to survive safely until now.

It is precisely because of Concubine Wu's protection and support that Concubine Zhang enjoys her current wealth and glory.

The results of it?

Speaking of this, Qiu Er didn't know how much she was mocking Zhang Ying in front of her, pretending to be innocent...

At least, originally, this was Qiu'er's perception of Zhang Ying, but for some reason, when she saw Zhang Ying like this, she was quickly moved by her attitude.

Just like what Zhang Ying said just now, over the years, Wu Zhaoyi did treat her very well on the surface, but in fact, Wu Zhaoyi did not treat her as a human being?

Judging from what Concubine Zhang said, she just wants to find a master who treats her as a human being?

Zhang Ying's words made Qiu'er instantly think of a lot of things.

At the beginning, it was because Zhang Ying always tried to sow discord between Wu Zhaoyi and her own queen in front of her, and Concubine Zhang secretly went to the Weiyang Palace to seek refuge with Concubine Xia.

Concubine Xia is the most favored concubine in the harem. Everyone in the harem knows that if you surrender to the concubine and become someone close to her, you will have a life of luxury.

But anyone else in the palace can go and seek refuge with Concubine Xia.

The only exception is Concubine Zhang, because everyone knows who her loyal master is.

But she is the third-rank Zhaoyi Wu Zhaoyi.

Concubine Zhang has been with Concubine Wu for so many years, and with Concubine Wu's protection over the years, Concubine Zhang has achieved her current wealth and glory.

As a result, it would have been fine if Concubine Zhang was ungrateful, but before Concubine Wu fell, she secretly attached herself to Concubine Wu and wanted to take refuge with her.

Not to mention that Concubine Wu would be furious after knowing this. Even if Concubine Zhang was executed, it was her own fault and she could not blame anyone else.

Just these bystanders, even Qiu'er, almost died of anger when they learned that Concubine Zhang had secretly gone to Weiyang Palace.

She is straightforward, but she is not stupid or without intelligence, so she can think of some things.

It was obvious that Concubine Zhang had secretly run to the Weiyang Palace while no one was noticing, in order to seek refuge with the Imperial Concubine.

Thinking of this——

After thinking about these things, Qiu'er's original sympathy for Zhang Ying disappeared, and she realized that Zhang Ying was a traitor. Suddenly, she no longer had a good attitude towards Zhang Ying.

She immediately snorted coldly and glared at Zhang Ying in front of her. Before her madam could speak, she crossed her arms over her chest and breathed out of her nostrils. She accused Zhang Ying of wrongdoings first: "Mrs. Zhang, why are you pretending in front of my madam? How long has it been since you went to Weiyang Palace to sell out your master for fame? Mrs. Zhang, have you forgotten everything so quickly?"

If it were someone else, the old things would have been brought up again and they would have turned pale and panicked.

But Zhang Ying did not. Even after hearing Qiu'er's contemptuous and sarcastic words implying her, she just raised her head and looked at Yu Huan. She saw that Yu Huan still had the same nonchalant expression as before, as if everything about her didn't matter, even though the words "selling out for fame and fortune" were mentioned countless times by the maids around her.

But she acted as if she didn't hear those four words, and her gaze at her was as calm as usual, as if she was looking at a complete stranger.

Yu Huan's expression made Zhang Ying even more determined. Yu Huan was the master she had been looking for all these years and the one she truly wanted to serve all her life!
