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

"She also became the most glorious concubine in the harem."

Thinking of the day when Wu Qingying could not sleep with him because of menstrual fluid retention, she was worried that the emperor would go to another concubine's bedroom. After all, during the time when she was in favor, all the women in the harem were eyeing her and waiting for her to fall out of favor. Once there was any inconvenience on her side and she could not sleep with him, it would undoubtedly be an opportunity for those women in the harem, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

A person as arrogant as Wu Qingying certainly knew how great a threat all these beautiful women in the harem posed to her.

Therefore, she would rather give this favor to those around her than give it to outsiders.

At that time, people in the palace were saying that Zhang Ying had the opportunity to sleep with the emperor because she was with Wu Zhaoyi, who was the most favored concubine in the six harems.

Everyone said that she followed the right master. If there hadn't been any Concubine Wu, there wouldn't have been a little noble lady like her who had no looks and no family background serving as the emperor's concubine.

Everyone in the palace believed this and spread the rumor this way.

Apparently some of these words reached Wu Qingying's ears, and even she herself thought so.

Little do people know that those people in the harem know nothing. They only see the surface. What do they understand?

The problem is, they don’t understand. Doesn’t Wu Qingying understand either?

Why was she favored and why did she let me sleep with her? Didn't she know it herself?

She is always like this!

If I had not been by Wu Qingying's side all these years, giving her advice and suggestions, how could she have maintained her former glory and favor?

To be honest, if it weren't for Xia Wanning's sudden entry into the palace, Zhang Ying was absolutely sure that Wu Qingying would continue to be favored.

Not only that, she can also make Wu Qingying the most favored woman in the harem, even though there are so many beautiful women in the harem, and even those who are far superior to her in terms of family background and appearance.

But as long as she is willing, Zhang Ying has the ability to do it, and it is no exaggeration to say that.

Everything impossible can become possible with her!

Looking at Zhang Ying's confident look, if someone else, especially Qiu'er, were present at the moment, after hearing Zhang Ying's shameless words, they might not believe what she said and would only think that she was exaggerating.

But Yu Huan is different.

For Yu Huan, all these years, whether in the previous life or this life, she has always believed in Zhang Ying's cleverness and means, just as Zhang Ying said, they are the same kind of people. It is precisely because they are the same kind of people that she believes every word Zhang Ying says.

"The Queen."

Zhang Ying knelt on the ground, looking at her seriously. Her expression at this moment was indeed very serious. She just stared at Yu Huan without blinking: "Empress, although I don't know why the Empress is so resistant to me. But I really want to surrender to the Empress, and I really want to obey the Empress."

"There are some things that I, not to mention the Queen, may not believe, let alone the Queen. So I can understand the Queen's suspicion of my loyalty to you and her sincerity in wanting to join you."

"The Queen has one more thing to say... I am willing to prove my loyalty to the Queen with what I have done."

"I also know that I have been with Wu Zhaoyi for so many years. Over the years, Wu Zhaoyi has been so good to me that even I myself, not to mention the Queen and you outsiders, know clearly how much favor Wu Zhaoyi has given me over the years. But..."

At this point, Zhang Ying paused, her eyes fell on Yu Huan, she stared at Yu Huan for a while, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Others may not understand, but the Queen is a smart person. Nothing I said just now was false. If there was any, I would be struck by lightning."

"Empress, to be honest, I will never forget the kindness that Concubine Wu Zhaoyi has shown me. I also know that if Concubine Wu Zhaoyi had not promoted and protected me over the years and had not become my backer, I would not have been able to have such a smooth sailing in the harem over the years."

"Everyone in the palace thinks that I am the one who owes Wu Zhaoyi a favor. Little do they know that, Your Majesty, you are a smart person. Over the years, it is not Wu Zhaoyi who has given all her efforts to me. I have given even more to Wu Zhaoyi. If it weren't for me, others might not believe it, but as Your Majesty said, I know that Your Majesty will believe what I say."

"Over the years, if I hadn't been by Wu Zhaoyi's side to give her advice, whether it was when Wu Zhaoyi first entered the palace or now, you know Wu Zhaoyi's personality, Empress. She has been a spoiled girl since she was a child and doesn't take anyone seriously. Although Wu Zhaoyi's family also has a high status in the court and is highly valued by the emperor, it is not as good as Concubine Xia's family after all."

"Besides, the ruler is the ruler and the minister is the minister. Isn't Wu Zhaoyi's family members ministers?"

Since you are a subject, you are even less comparable to the royal family and cannot be compared with the royal family, right?

Perhaps in the court, in front of all the civil and military officials, the Wu family, as second-rank officials in the court, is indeed superior to others. In terms of official positions alone, except for those of the first rank and above, no one in the court can compare to the second-rank Wu family.

But in the eyes of the emperor and the royal family, he was just a second-rank official.

Wu Zhaoyi could do whatever she wanted when she was at home because her parents could protect her, but it was obviously different in the palace.

Yes, that's right, it's obviously different in the palace.

According to Wu Qingying's personality, she made enemies everywhere in the harem, especially when she was favored by the emperor for a period of time. To be honest, if it weren't for Zhang Ying's advice, Wu Qingying would not have been so glorious and been favored by the emperor for such a long time.

"Perhaps others can't understand. When I first entered the palace, although I didn't have an outstanding appearance or family background, I had a promising future because the emperor at that time treated every new woman in the palace well and would give them a period of favor. But I gave up the emperor's mercy and favor and went straight to Wu Zhaoyi."

"That's because all men in the world are heartless, not to mention that the other party is the emperor. I know clearly that if I choose to show my favor to the emperor, I am confident that I can be favored by the emperor for a period of time according to my own wisdom, but I don't know how long. Moreover, with my status and background, even if I am really favored by the emperor and he protects me, I have no status and no peerless beauty, which makes it easier for the women in the harem to compete to murder me."

"Your Majesty certainly dotes on me, but I also know that it is definitely not love."

Yes, it was precisely because of this that Zhang Ying understood it very clearly. This was also the reason why, when she had the opportunity to gain the emperor's favor after entering the palace, she rejected it and went straight to Ruyi Palace to seek refuge with Wu Qingying.

Zhang Ying still clearly remembers Wu Qingying's surprised face when she asked him to surrender.

Because obviously she herself knew that these new women who entered the palace would stay with the emperor for a period of time to be favored, whether the emperor liked them or not.

If they behave well, they might be favored by the emperor for a period of time, and then be given a position, which means they will have a glorious future. Even if they fall out of favor, their position will be raised, and they will be able to gain a firm foothold in the harem in the future.

If their families had some status in the court and the right to speak, it would obviously be even better!

Therefore, Wu Qingying was very surprised at Zhang Ying's initiative to surrender to her. After hearing what Zhang Ying said while kneeling in front of her, this was why, when Zhang Ying surrendered to her, Wu Qingying had no doubt at all about her sincerity towards him, or that she had any other second thoughts.

Although Wu Qingying was not so cunning, she knew clearly that the woman who had just entered the palace was obviously different from the woman who had been in the palace for a long time.

Obviously, Zhang Ying had just entered the palace, and so had Wu Qingying.

There was only a day or two difference between them, just a little bit of time difference.

At that time, Wu Qingying had not yet been favored by the emperor, and was full of expectations and fear.

She was afraid that she would become one of the countless people in the harem who had never even seen the emperor.

More afraid...

But Zhang Ying appeared and Zhang Ying made her promise.

At that time, Wu Qingying had just entered the palace and had no idea what she could do. She did not think she could gain the emperor's favor. Although before entering the palace, she was full of expectations and confidence in herself.

But after entering the palace, Wu Qingying obviously no longer thought so.

Because she discovered that the emperor's harem was filled with beauties of all kinds.

Although her beauty, which she was proud of, still ranked among the best in the harem, she was obviously not the most beautiful one.

The woman who was ranked behind her, although not as beautiful as her, was very talented, so talented that even if that woman did not have a stunning appearance, but looking at her talent, Wu Qingying thought, let alone the emperor, even if she were the emperor, she would probably choose this talented woman without hesitation.

As for beauty——

As an emperor, it is very easy for him to get a beautiful woman. It only takes a word.

But it’s different for talented women. In the harem, there are very few women who are truly talented, and not just a little bit of talent, but a talent that satisfies everyone including the emperor!

Therefore, after entering the palace, Wu Qingying felt that she was useless, especially after meeting so many talented women in the harem!
