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

The sneer filled with self-mockery made Zhang Ying see everything clearly from that moment on.

Even the little bit of affection she had for the emperor in her heart disappeared completely at that moment!

Because she felt that the emperor was childish. It was unfortunate that he was the ruler of a country, yet he behaved so childishly in front of her.

Moreover, the emperor kept saying that he loved her and would protect her.

But after being rejected by her several times, even she herself was moved. Zhang Ying even reminded herself more than once in her heart not to be moved by men, not to be moved by any man in this world.

man--

Not a single good thing!

They are all cruel and ruthless creatures!

When he loves you, he really loves you. He seems willing to do anything for you. Even when you are facing danger or choice, a man can die for you when he loves you the most.

But after a man has had enough of playing with you, after he has grown tired of liking you, after he has completely changed his mind about you, it is obvious that his love or hate for you is completely revealed at that moment.

In the past, when Zhang Ying heard the emperor's affectionate promise to her, she might not believe it.

She didn't believe it the second time, but after the third, fourth, and countless times, it was no longer Zhang Ying's turn to believe it. Zhang Ying even had all her expectations and longings for the emperor in her heart.

Zhang Ying thought, if the emperor had a little more patience, coaxed her a few more times, and made a few more vows to her in front of her, even if she didn't care much about these things, even if the living examples had been right in front of her since she was a child.

Although she didn't believe in men and didn't believe every word they said, the men's true feelings were all fake to her.

but--

Zhang Ying's crystal clear eyes were filled with hot tears. What if...

There is always that what-if. What if she really meets the man who is devoted to her and wants to treat her well?

Unfortunately, Zhang Ying had originally been looking forward to the emperor's deep affection, but as the emperor's true nature was later exposed, Zhang Ying realized that the emperor's affection was nothing more than that.

If she can't get what she wants, she will turn against him. She would rather not have such deep affection.

Because the emperor treated her like this at the beginning, Zhang Ying could almost imagine that even if that day really came and the emperor became disgusted with her, she would be like a fish on an iron plate, at the mercy of others.

What does the emperor’s affectionate promise look like?

In this world, let alone men, even myself would obviously say such beautiful words.

Although, during these years of following Wu Qingying, Wu Qingying often treated me like a dog.

But to be honest, Zhang Ying did not regret it. She did not regret rejecting the emperor and choosing to follow Wu Qingying.

She really doesn't regret it, not at all.

Even though Wu Qingying was not kind to her, and even during the years she followed her, whenever Wu Qingying encountered something that was not to her liking, she would either beat or scold her.

However, if she had followed the emperor and chosen to betray Wu Qingying at that time, Zhang Ying thought, she would have died long ago.

At least now I am following Wu Qingying, even if she looks down on me, even if she treats me like a dog, at least...

Zhang Ying laughed out loud. At least she saved her life, right?

From the beginning to the end, wasn't her goal to survive in the harem?

Zhang Ying looked up. Her vision was a little blurry at that moment. She just stared at Yu Huan in front of her. She didn't know how long she had been staring at her. Suddenly, Zhang Ying grabbed Yu Huan's hand. At the moment, she didn't care about the difference in status. She just held Yu Huan's hand tightly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. "Empress, what I said to you, every word, every action, everything, every word, is all true."

"My Queen, do you trust me?"

Obviously, Yu Huan believed her.

Zhang Ying has said so much, how could Yu Huan not believe her?

Moreover, when she said these words, every sentence, even every word, was, without exaggeration, a true and real expression of her true feelings.

It is said that what people say can be faked, even the expressions on their faces can be faked, but the look in a person’s eyes cannot be faked, right?

Moreover, Zhang Ying's words were well-founded, which made Yu Huan, who had heard the rumors about her and Wu Qingying in her previous life, suspicious, think like others that she was an ungrateful person who was treacherous and betrayed her master.

At this moment, Yu Huan's thoughts and opinions about her completely disappeared, didn't they?

Although there is indeed a disparity in status between Zhang Ying and Wu Qingying, Zhang Ying and others who want to join Wu Qingying have different goals.

Perhaps there was also an element of exploitation in Zhang Ying's decision to surrender to Wu Qingying and abandon the emperor.

But Zhang Ying's intention of exploiting Wu Qingying was just to hope that Wu Qingying would be better, because only when Wu Qingying was better could she be better, even if she would face more choices in the future, just like when she said that the emperor had feelings for her, liked her, and wanted to confer a title on her, Yu Huan actually believed what she said.

If it were someone else, they would probably not believe what Zhang Ying said. After all, to them, Zhang Ying had no looks and no status, so there was no reason why the emperor would be so obsessed with her.

But Yu Huan believed it, she really believed it.

Because in this world, there really is a kind of people who, even if they don’t have outstanding looks or prominent family backgrounds.

But she has this kind of charm that can attract men's attention, and Zhang Ying herself is smart enough.

This makes it difficult for Ye Ling, who has so many beauties in his harem, to suddenly become interested in a woman like Zhang Ying when he meets her.

However, the emperor's love is destined to be short-lived, and Yu Huan has always known this.

When a man falls in love with a woman, it is first because of her beauty, and then because of her talent and means.

Of course, the means are the most important.

Because of a beautiful face, if you stare at it for a long time, whether you are a man or a woman, sooner or later you will get tired of it.

Therefore, whether a woman can always be loved by a man depends on her talent and means.

Only by being skillful and constantly giving men tricks and surprises can you ensure that he will remain in your favor for a long time.

"Although Concubine Zhang's position is not high, I have always noticed her intelligence and talent."

As he spoke, Yu Huan helped Zhang Ying up from the ground.

But at this moment, Zhang Ying seemed to be arguing with Yu Huan. She knelt on the ground, even though Yu Huan had already walked up to her and supported her.

But Zhang Ying still knelt on the ground and refused to stand up.

Seeing Zhang Ying like this, Yu Huan couldn't help but frown: "What does Concubine Zhang mean?"

Zhang Ying's pale face showed pain and hope. She looked at her with hope in her eyes: "Empress, are you willing to take me as your concubine?"

Hearing this, Yu Huan just remained silent and didn't say anything.

Her eyes fell on Zhang Ying. After staring at her for a while, she said calmly, "Lady Zhang, it's not that I don't want you. You are the one who is close to Wu Zhaoyi. You have been with Wu Zhaoyi for so many years. The relationship between you and Wu Zhaoyi is well known in the entire harem."

"Besides..."

Yu Huan sighed and looked at Zhang Ying in front of him.

In fact, it's not that she is heartless.

She sympathized with Zhang Ying's experience, but everyone in this world has an unknown past, which may be lighter than Zhang Ying's at the moment, or even heavier than Zhang Ying's at the moment.

Even in that unknown corner, not even a single life can be saved.

The world is so big, things like this happen all the time, don’t they?

In her previous life, Yu Huan had always been a loner after following Hua Qingluo back to Da Xiliang. Even the maidservants around her had long been replaced by the suspicious Hua Qingluo and became her own people.

It can be said--

In appearance, she is the queen who is in great glory, loved by Hua Qingluo, and is the mother of the country with a noble status.

In fact, only she herself knows the bitterness involved.

So, whether in this life or the previous life, even in this life, she helped Wu Qingying gain favor and was favored by the emperor for a few days, but this did not mean that she really wanted to form cliques and wanted Wu Qingying to become her own person.

On the contrary, the reason why she was willing to help Wu Qingying and helped her to be favored by the emperor again for a period of time after being neglected by the emperor for so many years was entirely because she felt that Wu Qingying's experience in her previous life was somewhat miserable and she mistakenly trusted a villain.

Secondly, I feel that Wu Qingying is a straightforward person with a cheerful personality and no bad intentions.

She also prefers dealing with such people, that's it.

Originally, if she hadn't heard Zhang Ying say this, she wouldn't have planned to have any interaction with Wu Qingying. In the future in the harem, she would be a queen who was indifferent and didn't interact with anyone.

Now after hearing what Zhang Ying said, she would not have any interaction with Wu Qingying anymore.

"Mrs. Zhang, it's not that I don't want you, but I don't want to get involved in other people's affairs. Just as you can see, I am the head of the harem. I only need to be a good queen and manage my harem, that's all."

"But Queen, you are the head of the harem and the queen of a country. Do you know that if you don't take care of me anymore, one day I will be beaten to death by Concubine Wu?"

"will not."

Yu Huan looked at her with a firm expression, "Zhang Ying, ask yourself, no matter how Wu Zhaoyi treats you, and vents all her hatred on you, you actually know in your heart that Wu Zhaoyi will never beat you to death, right?"
