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

After being silent for a while, Xia Wanning suddenly looked up and looked at Yu Huan.

He said this in a self-deprecating tone.

Qiu'er was dumbfounded again at her words. What's so funny?

Although Qiu'er disliked Xia Wanning because of what happened just now and because of Concubine Xia's disrespect to her own queen, there was one thing that even Qiu'er herself could not deny.

That is--

Whether in terms of birth or beauty, Concubine Xia is a favorite of God among thousands.

After entering the palace, she was favored by the emperor.

When she was in the General's Mansion, she was pampered by the people there and was treated like a star in the capital.

Even after entering the palace, she was spoiled by the emperor and became the crab in the harem, walking sideways. When she was unhappy, she even dared to scold the emperor and the empress dowager.

In short, no matter how excessive Xia Wanning's actions were, the emperor liked her and doted on her. No matter what she did, the emperor would not be willing to punish her. He would only indulge her and protect her.

So, how could the word "ridiculous" come out of the mouth of someone like Xia Wanning?

If it was to be said, it should have come from someone else's mouth, even if it was from Concubine Wu Zhaoyi's mouth, and it should not have come from Concubine Xia's mouth.

But these words happened to come from the mouth of Concubine Xia.

Because he couldn't believe it, or maybe it was because Xia Wanning's expression at the moment was obviously different from the arrogant and domineering attitude when she came just now, not taking her mother seriously.

Xia Wanning didn't say anything, and Yu Huan didn't say anything either.

Although Qiu'er was very curious, seeing that her two masters didn't say anything, she tactfully lowered her head and said nothing.

Just out of curiosity, he would look at Xia Wanning from time to time, then turn around to look at his queen. He didn't know how many times he had done this.

Qiu'er herself didn't know how many times she had looked at it back and forth. She roughly estimated that it was at least dozens of times.

what's up?

Why are the two ladies silent?

Finally, it was Xia Wanning. After being silent for a while, perhaps she thought of something funny. She laughed out loud. There seemed to be tears in her eyes, but she was stubborn and refused to let her tears flow. She just raised her head and looked at Yu Huan in front of her.

It seemed as if he wanted to see even a trace of the emotion or expression he wanted to see on Yu Huan's face, but...

No.

Yes, not at all, because Yu Huan just looked at himself so calmly.

"Don't you think I'm ridiculous, Queen?"

she asked again.

This time, Yu Huan answered her, but asked her in return: "Why do you think it's funny? Miss Xia, you are a child of heaven, and you have been raised with a silver spoon in your mouth since you were born. You are also beautiful, the most beautiful woman in the world, and you are deeply favored by all men in the world."

"Whether it's family background or beauty, is there any other woman in this world who can compare to you, Miss Xia? So why do you think you are ridiculous?"

Be careful, maybe others won’t notice it.

But Xia Wanning immediately recognized the way she addressed herself.

Yu Huan no longer addressed herself as Imperial Concubine, nor as Imperial Concubine Xia, but simply as her name.

In her answer, there was not a single word about the Emperor, nor was there a single word about anything that had happened since she entered the palace.

She mentioned her background, her stunning appearance, and why she was called the most beautiful woman in the world!

Yes--

Xia Wanning looked at Yu Huan in front of her. No one could match her in terms of family background or beauty, so why did she feel ridiculous?

The cleverness of Yu Huan lies in that, clearly she hasn't said anything yet, and clearly she has only spoken one sentence, which is just a question about her ridiculousness.

But Yu Huan obviously said out loud what she wanted to say and what she wanted to express.

Yeah, what's so funny about her?

She has her own pride. With such a background and such beauty, not to mention men, even she herself, as a woman, cannot stop herself when seeing her stunningly beautiful face. So why does she feel ridiculous?

Do you think you are ridiculous because of being a man?

"Concubine."

Seeing Xia Wanning sitting there in a daze with her head down, Yu Huan couldn't help but call her.

Hearing the voice, Xia Wanning raised her head and her eyes fell on Yu Huan. She just stared at her, no longer looking superior and not taking her seriously as she did just now.

At this moment, she admired and valued Yu Huan.

"Queen, please speak."

"I am very curious about what you said to the emperor during the argument that day that made him so angry that he left your Weiyang Palace and ignored you, favoring the two sisters Qingluan and Qingnu for several days in a row."

Hearing Yu Huan say this, it was like being reminded of some sad past events.

Even though Xia Wanning said harshly that she wanted to break off all ties with Ye Ling, she did have real feelings for him after all. After all these years of living together day and night, Ye Ling had long become a part of her life.

How could she really do as she said and break off all ties with him?

How could she bear to do that!

Looking at Xia Wanning's expression, Yu Huan added, "I am just curious. I have no other intentions, nor do I mean to make fun of you. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

"Actually, I didn't say anything. When the emperor and I quarrel, I like to use words to provoke him. I have said much more nasty things in the past, but I have never seen how angry the emperor is. Occasionally, when I really make him angry, he will just sigh helplessly, touch my head with a helpless look, and say that he must have done something wrong in his previous life, otherwise how could he meet a demon like me in this life who is easy to provoke."

When talking about this, Xia Wanning seemed to be referring to some happy, cheerful, and joyful past events that were worth mentioning.

I am really happy. Really happy.

Even her face was filled with a happy smile at this moment.

But this happiness on her face obviously didn't last long. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Yu Huan: "Queen, you know, I just said a few words to him saying that he didn't really care about me. He kept saying that he loved me, but he kept hiding it from me and favored those women in his harem. I said he cheated on me."

"But I wasn't wrong. He lied to me and betrayed me time and time again!"

"And I didn't betray him once! Shouldn't these things be mutual? He betrayed me, should I betray him too? But I didn't betray her!"

"Empress Xia, what are you talking about?!"

Qiu'er finally couldn't listen any longer, because for some reason, the words Xia Wanning said next seemed more and more outrageous the more she listened. It was simply outrageous to the extreme.

What does it mean that the emperor favoring another woman is a betrayal to Concubine Xia?

Putting aside other things, just the fact that the emperor is the emperor, which man in history didn't have three wives and four concubines?

What’s more, he is the emperor?

With an emperor of his status and three palaces and six courtyards, how normal is it for him to favor other women?

What kind of betrayal is that?

Could it be that Concubine Xia is still wishful thinking that the Emperor, as the supreme ruler, would ignore the three thousand beauties in the harem and only favor her and stay with only her?

How can this be?

If this gets out, everyone will laugh at it.

Even though Imperial Concubine Xia was born into a noble family, she has been the center of attention since she was born.

Even if she has a stunning beauty, with the passage of time, there will be a moment when her face will age.

Until then...

Not to mention that Qiu'er disagreed with Xia Wanning's words and ideas, it was obvious that Yu Huan also subconsciously frowned after hearing Xia Wanning's words.

She knew that Xia Wanning was a person who would not tolerate even the slightest grain of sand in her eyes.

Ever since she entered the palace, she has been the only one favored by the emperor. Even on the days when she was in labor and could not serve him in the emperor's bedchamber, she did not want the emperor to go to other concubines' bedrooms to favor other concubines.

Whenever Xia Wanning found out that the emperor had secretly visited one of the concubines' bedrooms, she would yell at him whenever the emperor came back. She would smash anything she could on the emperor's head without any hesitation.

Obviously, in her heart, the man she loved must only have her as his woman, even in ancient times, when men were considered to have three wives and four concubines.

Even if the other party is the emperor.

Xia Wanning is not an unreasonable person. It is precisely because she knows that she has traveled through time to the ancient times, in such a feudal place, that she definitely cannot let Ye Ling change all at once. She wants him to change slowly and gives him a chance. She only hopes that he can change slowly. It is that simple, that simple.

Even when he betrayed and cheated on her countless times, she, a modern person, a modern person who traveled from the 21st century, could actually forgive him many times.

Doesn't this prove that I want to give him a chance and that I can think from his perspective?

But how did he do it?

When mentioning this, Xia Wanning didn't know how ridiculous it was.

Even after coming to Kunning Palace for so long, even after entering the palace for so many years, even in front of Ye Ling, she had never cried, let alone shed a tear.

For her, she didn't want her tears and her cowardice to be seen by anyone, not even Ye Ling, the man she loved deeply.

She would never show her vulnerable side in front of him.

She was not at all like those women in the harem who would show their most vulnerable side in front of Ye Ling and make him feel distressed.

She wouldn’t. She is not as scheming and cunning as those women.

Besides, she didn't bother to do that!
