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

She is now over fifty years old and half buried in the ground.

There is nothing to be afraid of anymore.

If I were to say something truly scary...

Nothing is more important than the affectionate relationship between her and her son.

The reason why she closed the gate of the Cining Palace over the years was that in the eyes of outsiders, perhaps she was afraid of that little bitch Xia Wanning, so she closed the gate of the Cining Palace to keep her mind at peace.

Actually, it is not the case...

Nanny Liu has been with Jiang Rong for so many years and has long been accustomed to everything about her.

The Queen Mother only needed to frown, or even just say one sentence, and she could understand the meaning of her words.

There is no such thing as being really afraid of Concubine Xia.

The Queen Mother just wanted to test whether she, the biological mother, could be compared with Concubine Xia in the Emperor's heart.

It would be fine if the emperor usually doted on Xia Wanning.

The Queen Mother just wanted to test him. At the last moment, between her biological mother and the woman he loved, who would he choose?

……

Kunning Palace

The Cining Palace gave away many rare things as rewards.

There are jewelry, silks and satins, as well as some priceless and extremely rare treasures.

Just the East China Sea Night Pearl made Qiu'er lie there, looking at it over and over again for who knows how long.

"My lady, I heard that this Night-Shining Pearl of the East China Sea is the treasure of the East China Sea. The light of the East China Sea depends entirely on the Night-Shining Pearl. Without it, the entire East China Sea will never see the sun again."

Yu Huan was playing with the agate hairpin in her hand. After hearing Qiu'er's words, she smiled slightly and said, "These are just some false myths told by storytellers, but you believed them."

"Why don't you believe it, my lady?"

Qiu'er's face was very serious. She pointed at the night-shining pearl in front of her and said, "Look, madam, this night-shining pearl is exactly the same as the rumors say. It really glows at night. Our Kunning Palace is so big that we don't need to light candlesticks at all. Just one night-shining pearl can illuminate the entire palace brighter than during the day, just like a bright day on a sunny day."

What Qiu'er said was indeed true, this night pearl was indeed as bright as daylight.

The entire hall looked as bright as day under the illumination of the night pearl.

Qiu'er couldn't help but sigh, "The Queen Mother really values ​​you. Not only did she reward us Kunning Palace with so many treasures, she also generously gave us the rare and precious East China Sea Night Pearl."

At this point, Qiu'er couldn't help but smile playfully at Yu Huan again: "Your Majesty is really amazing. You've only been in the palace for a few days, but the Queen Mother has already valued our Kunning Palace so much. You should know that the concubines who entered the palace, even those who were highly valued by the Queen Mother in the past, have never been valued by the Queen Mother to this extent."

How could the Queen Mother value herself?

In this huge harem, there is no such thing as importance or disimportance.

To put it bluntly, it is better to say that it depends on who can bring the greatest benefit to whom. Only the party that can bring the greatest benefit to oneself will be willing to give up most of his or her life's efforts.

The Queen Mother has reached her current high position and no longer has any worries.

If I really have to talk about worries, there are only two. One is Xia Wanning in Weiyang Palace.

The other is the mother-son relationship between her and the emperor.

In the eyes of outsiders, those who are a little smarter might think of these two things and then cater to their preferences.

But they will all value the first thing more than the second.

On the surface, she asked the Queen Mother to go to Weiyang Palace to quarrel with Xia Wanning, but in fact her most fundamental purpose was not to let the Queen Mother cause trouble for Weiyang Palace.

Instead, she took this opportunity to ease the mother-son relationship between the emperor and the empress dowager.

Killing two birds with one stone, it just happens to meet the two needs of the Empress Dowager over the years.

Then the Queen Mother would naturally be completely open to him.

"The Queen is in such a good position now."

A sarcastic voice came from outside the hall, coming closer and closer.

Soon, Nanny Yue was seen limping in from outside.

I knelt outside the Kunning Palace all night last night and was drenched in heavy rain all night. I was exhausted and passed out.

When she woke up, it was already dark.

The wounds on her face and the illnesses on her body had not yet healed. After hearing that Kunning Palace had received a lot of rewards sent by the empress dowager, Nanny Yue, feeling embarrassed and powerless, got up from the bed and ran straight to the main hall.

Nanny Yue looked very bad.

The face was extremely pale.

The high fever just subsided, and I haven't eaten for a day. I feel weak and listless.

Only that face, when looking at Yu Huan, was gritting its teeth, and its dark eyes were glowing eerily like a wild beast in the night.

She is not convinced!

I really can't accept it!

Seeing that Nanny Yue was staying in her room to recuperate, and the Empress hadn't even called her to cause trouble for her, she came here on her own accord.

Qiu Er stared at her with a bad face: "Madame Yue, why don't you stay in your room and recuperate? Why are you here again?"

After saying this, Qiu'er did not give Nanny Yue a chance to reply. Instead, she raised her fair chin with a proud look on her face and signaled her with her eyes to go and see the reward that the Queen Mother had given to Kunning Palace.

"Did you see that, Madam Yue? These rewards were given to our queen by the queen mother. And the night-shining pearl from the East China Sea, you've heard of it, right? It's said that the night-shining pearl from the East China Sea is just a myth. Just one night-shining pearl placed in a pitch-black night can instantly light up like daylight. Such a precious and priceless treasure, which is rarely seen in the world, was given to our queen by the queen mother without even blinking an eye. It shows how much the queen mother values ​​Kunning Palace and our queen mother now."

Qiu'er's words made her feel very proud.

Who knew that after hearing Qiu'er's words, Nanny Yue didn't give any face at all, but her face became even uglier. Her eyes, like saws, fell on the proud and complacent Qiu'er, and she just snorted unceremoniously: "The Queen Mother just rewarded Kunning Palace with a little thing, and let the Queen be so proud and complacent. The Queen must not be happy too soon. You must know that this harem is like a dragon's den and a tiger's lair, which is not like when you were in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If the Queen makes any mistakes and offends anyone, the Prime Minister and his wife will naturally cover for you."

"In this harem that is as deep as a quagmire, the Queen Mother may reward you today, but she may turn against you completely and take your life tomorrow!"

After that, Nanny Yue looked down at the rewards sent from the Cining Palace, and said, "The Queen Mother gave things to the Empress, which shows that she values ​​the Kunning Palace. But the Empress, don't accept them all. Take a little and return the rest to the Queen Mother. Don't make our Prime Minister's Mansion look petty and ignorant because of money."

Nanny Yue's tone of voice, which was as reckless as a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, was almost making Qiu'er angry.

She has been kneeling outside for two consecutive nights, but I didn't expect that Nanny Yue still doesn't repent.

Qiu'er was so angry that her face turned red, and she was about to retort.

Yu Huan chuckled, without even looking at Nanny Yue. "It seems that after kneeling outside the Kunning Palace for two consecutive nights, Nanny Yue has become accustomed to the feeling of kneeling outside. It just so happens that I see the weather and it may rain tonight. Since Nanny Yue wants to kneel, then continue to kneel outside tonight."

Aunt Yue: “……?”
