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

Seeing that Yu Huan could still laugh at this time, Xia Wanning frowned unhappily: "What's so funny about this? Is it really that funny?"

"Your Highness is really confused by the situation, but the bystanders can see things more clearly. In your eyes, is the Emperor's feelings for you, as well as his kindness and indulgence towards you over the years, all because of your family?"

"Is not it?"

Xia Wanning asked another rhetorical question. She also admitted that Ye Ling had indeed been very good to her over the years and had always obeyed her and done whatever she said.

However, Xia Wanning always felt that Ye Ling's love for her was not love, because true love is not like that.

In her eyes, love means loyalty and non-betrayal, even if the other party is the emperor, even if the other party is from this world and not her world.

but--

She said that she had talked to Ye Ling about this and expressed her opinion on this ever since they were together.

It's okay to want her to be with him, but the prerequisite is loyalty.

She also gave him enough time, and she was not completely unreasonable and always bullied Ye Ling.

Obviously, Xia Wanning was reasonable and knew that Ye Ling was the emperor, so she gave him enough time.

She just asked Ye Ling to change his behavior slowly during this period of time. At the beginning, he would go to different concubines' harems every night, then go once every two days, then once every three days, and then once every four, five, six, and seven days...

After one month or two months, I was the only one left.

This is how Xia Wanning gave him the chance. Even in the end, she knew that Ye Ling couldn't stand it and secretly went to other women's bedrooms. She knew all of this, but because she knew his identity and the influence he had received here since he was a child, Xia Wanning also gave him enough opportunities and chances to make up for it, didn't she?

Every time she found out that he had secretly sneaked into another concubine's bedroom, she would be very angry and have a big quarrel with him, but as long as he bowed his head and coaxed her, she would immediately reconcile with him and give him another chance, right?

Everyone said that the emperor doted on her like his life, doted on her without limit, obeyed her every word, and even ignored his own mother.

Actually?

The truth is far from as good as the rumors, isn't it?

Did Xia Wanning really not pay anything, but just accept the emperor's kindness to her with a clear conscience?

Obviously that is not the case.

But when other people mentioned the emperor, they all talked about how the emperor treated her, and how she relied on the emperor's favor and her mother's family to dominate the court and the country, wield millions of troops, and was highly regarded by both the late emperor and the current emperor.

In addition, she has a stunning appearance that is unmatched in the world.

Except for the adjectives describing her beauty, which are compliments, the rest are all derogatory.

Doesn’t Xia Wanning feel wronged?

Didn't she pay anything?

Why is it that in the eyes of outsiders, all they see and say is Ye Ling’s dedication to her and his devotion to her.

It seemed as if the emperor's obedience to her and his wholehearted devotion to her were all met with her in indifference, and she acted wildly and did not take the emperor seriously.

What's even more outrageous is that in the eyes of outsiders, the emperor is just a dog in front of her, a dog that will happily wag its tail at her as long as she is happy and willing to talk to him?

Now, Yu Huan really and completely believed the saying that those involved are often confused, while bystanders can see things more clearly.

No matter how powerful Xia Wanning's family background is, the emperor is, after all, the supreme ruler of a country.

Perhaps, the emperor would favor Xia Wanning for a while because of her family's status in the court.

But as an emperor, favor is favor, it is completely different from love.

And what the emperor has for Xia Wanning is obviously love!

Xia Wanning came in with great arrogance and dignity, but left in despair.

Qiu'er was obviously angry and furious with Xia Wanning's arrogant attitude, because Concubine Xia relied on her status and the emperor's favor for her and really didn't take her mother seriously. After all, her mother was the queen, the master of the harem, and the queen who was the mother of the country!

But, for some reason, after hearing the conversation between Xia Wanning and her own mother, the kind and simple Qiu'er was always so easily moved by others' emotions and felt sympathy for them, just like now...

"My lady, I suddenly realized that Concubine Xia is actually quite pitiful."

"What's pitiful?"

Hearing this, Yu Huan found it funny. He looked at her and couldn't help but joked, "Just now I thought she was being too much, but in just a moment I feel sorry for her. You! How can your heart change so quickly?"

Hearing the queen's teasing, Qiu'er stomped her feet at her, her face flushed at this moment: "Oh, queen! You only know how to tease me!"

"It's just that your Majesty..."

"Ok?"

Hearing the voice, Yu Huan looked at her and saw that she was hesitant to speak, "What's wrong?"

Yu Huan asked.

"This time, Imperial Concubine Xia is clearly asking you for help, Your Majesty. Are you planning to help her?"

Hearing this, Yu Huan just shook his head: "How can I help? This is a matter between the emperor and her. Besides, hasn't Wu Zhaoyi already made a move?"

"what?"

After hearing what her own queen said, Qiu Er looked puzzled and looked at her queen in confusion: "Take action?"

She couldn't believe it.

Was Wu Zhaoyi sure she would take action? Or was she just hearing that Concubine Xia had a big fight with the Emperor in the Yangxin Palace today, and then Wu Zhaoyi saw her chance and went to the Yangxin Palace to find the Emperor?

Anyway, Concubine Xia is not afraid of losing face, so it is obvious that Concubine Wu is even less afraid of losing face, right?

"Right now, shouldn't you be more worried about Zhao Di? Why are you still thinking about others at this time?"

Yu Huan stood up, put her white hand on Qiu'er's forehead and tapped it lightly.

Qiu Er felt pain and covered her forehead: "Oh, my lady, you hit my forehead again. I was not smart to begin with, and now you have made me stupid again!"

Qiu'er covered her forehead and complained aggrievedly.

Thanks to her own queen's reminder, she immediately thought of Zhaodi at this moment.

The Queen is right. The person she should worry about now is Zhaodi, not outsiders!

Speaking of which, she hadn't visited Zhaodi for such a long time, and she was a little worried. It just so happened that the Empress mentioned Zhaodi, and seeing that the Empress was about to get up and leave, it was obvious that she was also going to visit Zhaodi.

Thinking of this, Qiu'er said nothing more, but quickly caught up with Yu Huan and said, "My queen, please wait for me. I will go with you!"

……

In the dark room, Zhaodi curled up into a ball, as if she was thinking of some unpleasant past events. She trembled so much that she almost curled herself into a ball.

Her little face was pale and her body was trembling.

From day to night, and from night to day.

She refused to eat or drink and just curled up in the corner.

During this period, some people came to visit her, but she ignored them all.

She just locked herself up in a completely small and cramped space, not talking to anyone, not interacting with anyone, just like this, she was always alone.

Zhaodi was running away, and even she herself didn't know what she was running away from.

until--

Outside the door, I heard someone talking.

"My lady, this is it. This is Zhaodi's room."

"Slave, please see the Queen!"

The palace maids guarding outside probably didn't expect Yu Huan to come over suddenly. They were surprised and happy at once, and quickly knelt down towards Yu Huan.

Yu Huan just nodded slightly at them and said, "Thank you for your hard work these past two days. Go down and collect your reward."

"Yes! Yes! Thank you, Queen!"

Several palace maids were overjoyed and cast grateful glances towards Qiu'er. Then they went downstairs with smiles on their faces to collect their reward money.

To be honest, this was the first time that Yu Huan came to their residence, whether it was Qiu'er, who had followed her since childhood and later entered the palace with her, or Zhaodi, who had been serving her for a short time.

The place they lived in was okay. After all, they were her personal servants. Just because of her status, the servants in the palace didn't dare to treat them badly.

Obviously, just as Qiu'er said, Zhaodi is now completely immersed in her own grief and can't recognize anyone at all. She doesn't remember how good their relationship was in the past and how they could talk about anything. In short, Qiu'er also believes that she has a very good relationship with Zhaodi, but for some reason, when she asked about her past outside the palace, Zhaodi seemed to have been touched and didn't say anything to her. She was also very excited, which Qiu'er couldn't understand.

While feeling sympathy and pity for Zhaodi, Qiu'er even felt that Zhaodi didn't treat her as her own at all. If Zhaodi really treated her as her own, Qiu'er felt that when she asked Zhaodi these questions, she shouldn't have been so secretive.

Besides, she wasn't laughing at her joke.

If she really had some sad past that she didn't want anyone to know, she could tell her. They had such a good relationship. She would even tell Zhaodi about the interesting things that happened between her and the Empress in the Prime Minister's Mansion when she was alone with her.

Zhaodi was so amused that she covered her mouth and laughed.

but now……

"Miss."

Qiu'er glanced at her, then at the tightly closed door, and still spoke from outside to remind her: "Zhao Di, the Queen is here to see you."

After she said this, she reminded Zhaodi inside and then pushed the door open.

He also gave Zhaodi enough respect.

Zhaodi in the room came to her senses instantly after hearing Qiu'er's reminder. Just as Qiu'er said, Zhaodi's attention and importance to Yu Huan were obviously higher than any of them.
