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

Her pride and beauty were gone in an instant.

Later, Zhang Ying appeared. It was obvious that to Wu Qingying, Zhang Ying was the kind of person who had no beauty or family background, but was very talented.

Moreover, just from a few words of conversation with Zhang Ying, she could clearly feel that if Zhang Ying helped her, she would definitely become her right-hand man.

In fact, Wu Qingying herself is not stupid, she is indeed not stupid.

Because she knew that although Zhang Ying was very talented, her talent could not be fully utilized in the harem. On the contrary, it would only arouse hatred and frame-up from countless women in the harem.

Because if women without any identity or background are favored or preferred by the emperor in the harem, they will die miserably or be framed miserably.

Obviously, it would be different if the woman’s family had some status and power in the court.

Just like her, although she is not as smart as Zhang Ying, Wu Qingying knows clearly how much help her parents' home has brought to her.

It was just like when she first entered the palace, she was also afraid and worried.

but--

Her mother's family is her support, and her parents are her support.

Even though she had just entered the palace and had not yet received the emperor's favor, let alone been favored, she had not even seen the emperor. However, there were already so many new women in the harem who were in the same batch as her. It is no exaggeration to say that even those old people who had been in the palace for some time, after learning the news of her entering the palace, came to her Ruyi Palace to visit her. Even if Wu Qingying was a fool, she could obviously hear the meaning of their words, which was to join her.

Want to go to her.

Yes, that's right, they just wanted to come to me, even though I was not favored and hadn't even seen the emperor. But because of her family's status and position in the court, they set their sights on me. It was also because they themselves had no confidence, just like those who had been in the palace for many years. In all these years, let alone being favored by the emperor, they hadn't even seen the emperor. It was precisely because of this that if they wanted to live a better life in the harem, they could only find another backer.

Obviously, the emperor was no longer able to do so, so they set their sights on Wu Qingying, who had just entered the palace. Anyway, they could no longer receive the emperor's favor. In addition, Wu Qingying had just entered the palace at that time, and her family had a lot of influence in the court, so she was highly valued by the emperor.

and so……

In addition, when Wu Qingying entered the palace, the positions of the four second-rank concubines in the harem were already filled. Otherwise, based on Wu Qingying's identity alone, she would definitely be a second-rank concubine.

In the harem, concubines of the second rank are eligible to sleep with the emperor, and according to the rules, the emperor will visit their bedrooms once in a while.

Because the positions of the four concubines of the second rank were full, Wu Qingying could only be canonized as a third rank Zhaoyi by the emperor after entering the palace. Obviously, in order to appease Wu Qingying, or more accurately, to appease Wu Qingying's family, the emperor would definitely come to Wu Qingying's bedroom.

Apparently, the emperor still favored other women at that time. Even when he came to Wu Qingying's bedroom, he only came to comfort her for her position as a third-rank imperial concubine, which was unfair to her. At the same time, he also came to give an explanation to Wu Qingying's family.

The reason why those women in the harem, no matter whether they were old or new, took the initiative to please Wu Qingying was obviously because they valued this point. As long as Wu Qingying was chosen by the emperor and went to sleep with him one day, they could use their relationship with Wu Qingying to curry favor with the emperor.

Maybe the emperor didn't notice them when they first entered the palace, but when they were next to Wu Qingying and showed off their looks again, at such a close distance, maybe the emperor noticed them?

They had made a wishful calculation and really thought that Wu Qingying knew nothing and was a rich girl spoiled by her family. It was obvious that their purpose of coming to please her was so obvious that they almost showed it on their faces, not to mention saying it out loud.

Wu Qingying obviously knew about their plans, which was why, like Xia Wanning, they liked to do their own thing in the palace over the years and did not like to take anyone in the palace seriously.

He would not take the initiative to form cliques with anyone in the palace.

This is the reason, because even if Wu Qingying is not very smart, she knows that they approach her with a purpose.

Instead of being like Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying is the one Wu Qingying has been with for so long since she entered the palace, including until now, and she couldn't help but feel fortunate that she did not reject Zhang Ying's surrender to her many years ago.

If not——

If Zhang Ying had not been by her side all these years, Wu Qingying would definitely not have been able to enjoy such a glorious life in the harem after losing the emperor's favor.

Obviously, this is all thanks to Zhang Ying.

If Zhang Ying hadn't been by her side to give her advice over the years...

In fact, when Zhang Ying first entered the palace, she went to Wu Qingying and got close to Wu Qingying with a purpose. However, her purpose was different from those of the women in the harem. It was obviously very different.

Because the words and expressions of the women in the harem when they were trying to please Wuqing left Wu Qingying no doubt that they could not provide anything for her, but on the contrary, wanted to use her to get to the top.

Yes, apparently that's the case.

But Zhang Ying is different. Zhang Ying is different from those women. Zhang Ying has never hidden her intentions in front of me. She even explained them to me directly in front of me.

She said she didn't want favor. On the contrary, she could help her get the emperor's favor, so that she would always be honored and favored in the harem and the emperor would always favor her.

However, Zhang Ying had a condition, that is, she could give up the favor, the premise was that Wu Qingying had to protect her in the harem and become her backer. She could give up the emperor's favor, and she could give up the position given to her by the emperor, but she would help Wu Qingying to get all these, but there was a condition, that was...

She could follow Wu Qingying, but there was only one condition, that is, Wu Qingying must ensure her wealth and glory in the harem.

A lifetime of wealth and glory!

For Wu Qingying, it was not a difficult task to ensure that Zhang Ying would enjoy a life of wealth and glory. Even if she did not receive the emperor's favor, relying solely on the influence of her mother's family in the court, she could be guaranteed to have no worries about food and clothing in the harem for the rest of her life.

Of course, the premise is...

The premise is that Wu Qingying does not cause trouble for the women in the harem, and they do not cause trouble for her.

A harem is like this. You want to spend your life in peace in the harem, but even if you have no grudge against others, others just can't bear to see you live a life of wealth and glory in the harem.

Therefore, it can be said that the appearance of Zhang Ying made Wu Qingying very satisfied at that time.

In addition, Zhang Ying likes to tell the truth in front of Wu Qingying, and everything she says is true.

She was obviously different from those women in the harem who wanted to please Wu Qingying and plot against her, so Wu Qingying was very satisfied with Zhang Ying. As a result, Zhang Ying had gained a lot of benefits in the harem over the years by relying on Wu Qingying.

Although she was only a sixth-rank noble lady, all those below the third rank, including the four concubines of the second rank, had to give Zhang Ying enough face for Wu Qingying's sake.

Although Zhang Ying was not of high status and her family had no background, she had never received the emperor's favor since she entered the palace for many years.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Ying has been in the palace for many years. To the women in the harem, she is just a dog kept by Wu Zhaoyi and the most loyal dog by Wu Qingying.

Although the people in the harem, no matter they were women or those slaves who fawned on the powerful, all described and evaluated Zhang Ying in this way, it was obvious that Zhang Ying did not take their comments or descriptions of herself to heart, because she did not care about these at all.

All she cared about was herself, her own interests, and being a dog by Wu Qingying's side. She thought about how she had promised Wu Qingying and how Wu Qingying had repaid her. The two of them were in a mutually beneficial relationship, it was that simple.

Of course, the premise is that -

Zhang Ying was so magnanimous that no matter how the people in the harem described her, looked down on her, called her a dog kept by Wu Qingying, ridiculed and belittled her to the dust, Zhang Ying didn't care. She really didn't care.

The person she really cares about is Wu Qingying.

She really didn't care what others said to her. The only person she really cared about was Wu Qingying. She wanted to know if Wu Qingying thought the same way in her heart, and if she thought the same way as those people in the harem.

Others think that she is just a dog that she keeps by her side, and in Wu Qingying's heart, she thinks that she is also a dog that she keeps by her side.

Obviously, Zhang Ying didn't want Wu Qingying to think that way.

Because, although she is not as good as Wu Qingying in terms of background or appearance, she wants Wu Qingying to treat her as someone who can support each other from the bottom of her heart.

She was her military advisor, and although she could not be on equal footing with Wu Qingying, she knew that she would never be on equal footing with her in her lifetime, because just because of her mother's family support, she was completely inferior to her in this aspect.

What she wanted was Wu Qingying's respect, respect from the heart.

Unfortunately--

No.

Zhang Ying thought that she had planned so much for Wu Qingying behind the scenes and helped her so much.

She thought that Wu Qingying would be grateful to her to some extent, treat her as his own military advisor, and respect her. Although he could give her anything he could think of, it would not be a condescending charity, but a gift of respect.
