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

The Weiyang Palace at that time

Xia Wanning is in a good mood today.

As for other women, they would serve the emperor and do everything they could to make him happy and comfortable.

But she is different. She doesn't need to do anything. The emperor has to serve her in return and make her feel comfortable. Only then will she be truly satisfied.

"Your Majesty, have some grapes. These Qingwang grapes were also tributed from the Western Regions. I heard from the servants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that they are as sweet as if they were soaked in a jar of honey. Your Majesty, please try some."

Faner presented the washed grapes respectfully with both hands.

Originally she was planning to peel the grapes for the queen, but who could have imagined that the Qingwang grapes were so strange and completely different from ordinary grapes.

At least ordinary grapes can be peeled, but the Qingwang grapes actually grow with the skin and flesh together. They don’t taste sour or astringent when you eat them, and taste the same as the flesh inside.

They felt firm and green, and at first she thought they were sour grapes.

Until she couldn't help it and secretly tasted one, and was instantly conquered by the sweetness of the grape.

The Western Regions are really rich in all kinds of delicious fruits.

They were all fruits she had never seen before, and some of the fruits looked unpalatable, but the taste was totally beyond her expectation.

Glancing at Fan'er's naive look, she was amazed by just a few bunches of grapes. If this happened in the 21st century, the number of good grape varieties would be so numerous that one could not count them on one's ten fingers. What was so special about just a few Qingwang grapes?

Xia Wanning snorted complacently and casually threw another bunch of Qingwang grapes on the plate to her: "Since you have been running errands for me during this period, I will give you this bunch of grapes."

Fan'er was so excited that she held the grapes that the empress gave her in her hands with a flattered look on her face.

She expressed her loyalty for a long time: "Being able to serve the Majesty is a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes."

Fan'er really felt that she was not only lucky, but also had a good life. Otherwise, how could she have such a perfect and good master like the Empress?

The Empress is different from other masters. She doesn't seem to pay attention to the rules of the palace. If she is in a good mood, she can even let her sit down and have a meal together.

Not to mention the nannies or eunuchs who are the most popular people around the master, no one else would have this treatment.

But she has it.

As the Empress's personal servant, she has been following her for many years, especially since she entered the palace, and she is almost tired of eating all kinds of delicacies.

Sometimes, the jewellery that the Empress doesn’t like is priceless. As long as the Empress doesn’t like it, she will give it to herself.

Just like the Qingwang grapes, the Western Regions didn't send many as tribute anyway, and because the queen was favored, she got a little more grapes, but it was less than seven bunches. One bunch a day was not enough for the queen, so the queen generously rewarded herself with a bunch.

Fan'er was flattered and grateful, and she swore in her heart that she would be more loyal and better to the Empress in the future.

As long as the Queen says a word, she will rush forward without blinking an eye, even if it means facing mountains of swords and seas of fire!

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. You can be bribed by just a bunch of grapes. You know, in our place, there are thumb grapes, queen grapes, which one is not more delicious than these grapes?"

"Ah? At the Empress' place...?"

Fan'er had a puzzled expression on her face. She had grown up with the Empress since she was a child. When she was in the General's Mansion, the Empress was the only daughter in the mansion. Both the General and his wife would respond to the Empress' requests.

Naturally, there was no shortage of delicacies from land and sea, silks and satins. No matter what he ate, wore or used, they were all of the best quality.

But this Sunny King grape...

As a close servant who grew up with the queen, when she was in the general's mansion, she followed the queen wherever she went. The queen really liked to eat grapes when she was in the general's mansion, but these Qingwang grapes were only tributed from the Western Regions this year, and they are the sweetest grape variety in Damu today. Although Damu has strong soldiers and a large country with a large territory, there are really not many varieties of grapes...

The slightly more delicious varieties had already been eaten by the queen when she was in the general's mansion.

Of course she ate some too. After comparing them all, she decided that the Qingwang grapes were the best. They were so sweet that they made your throat choke.

Fan'er was wondering in her heart, she had been following the Empress all these years, and she had never seen the Empress eat a grape variety that tasted better than the Qingwang grapes...

"Your Highness, you are so generous now! I only got six bunches of the rare Qingwang grapes. It's so rare that the women in the harem can't even eat it. But you are so generous that you directly gave a bunch to me as a reward!"

Jiang Rong's sarcastic voice came from outside the hall.

Fan'er, who was holding the grapes in his hand, froze, but it was not because he was afraid of the Queen Mother.

After all, the empress dowager was defeated by her own queen. It was because she had a dispute with her queen that she was completely defeated, and then in a fit of rage, she closed the gate of her own Cining Palace.

Even if the empress dowager came out of the Cining Palace again and was defeated by her own concubine, as long as the emperor stood on her concubine's side, the empress dowager would never be her own concubine's opponent.

Rather, as the Queen Mother said, the Qingwang grapes were rare, and they were tribute from the Western Regions, so there were not many of them. Concubines below the third rank in the harem were not eligible to get a bunch of Qingwang grapes, but her own queen generously rewarded her with one.

If the Queen Mother uses this to hold her accountable...

Xia Wanning never thought that Jiang Rong would come to her Weiyang Palace in person. You have to know that the two of them are sworn enemies in the palace, the kind that will never have anything to do with each other. Just like she would never set foot in her Cining Palace even if she died, Jiang Rong also sneered at her own Weiyang Palace.

"Hey, I was just saying that the wind in Weiyang Palace today is not right. The winds are different from yesterday. They are like a cold wind, which makes me feel uncomfortable."

"It turns out that this cold wind has a warning sign. This is it, it's coming too late!"

Xia Wanning had a very sharp tongue. Even though the other party was the Queen Mother, she did not give her the slightest face.

Ever since Jiang Rong ascended to her current high position, even when the emperor had a conflict with her, he did not dare to speak to her like this. But this Xia Wanning...

This mouth is indeed extremely beautiful, and it makes people's hearts beat faster just by looking at it. Not to mention men, even she herself couldn't help but take a few more glances.

This mouth...
