Seeing Xia Wanning being so ruthless to him.

The word "running dog" brought a gloomy look to Zhang Ying's pretty face, but soon the gloom disappeared, replaced by a good-tempered smile.

These rich girls who have been spoiled by their families since childhood are more arrogant than each other.

Just taking Wu Qingying as an example, after following Wu Qingying for all these years, Zhang Ying has already understood Wu Qingying's temper thoroughly.

What’s more, it’s Xia Wanning.

Knowing that Xia Wanning was angry, Zhang Ying said that she could understand whatever she said and would not get angry.

The Xia Wanning in the past looked down on me, and the current Xia Wanning is even more so!

"The Emperor stayed in Ruyi Palace tonight. I'm sure the Imperial Concubine has heard about the fact that he called for water three times during the night, right?"

It would have been fine if she didn't mention this, but this is what Xia Wanning hates the most right now.

Especially when she heard these words coming from her mouth, Xia Wanning's expression immediately turned extremely ugly. She strode to Zhang Ying with a sullen face and slapped her beautiful face hard with a "pa--".

"You bastard, don't you consider your status? How dare you come to laugh at me? You can't sit still and laugh at me so soon? Aren't you afraid that you will come here alive but not leave tonight!"

Zhang Ying had long guessed that if she challenged Xia Wanning's bottom line at this time, Xia Wanning would definitely not let her off easily.

In Xia Wanning's eyes, she is just a dog beside Wu Qingying.

Wu Qingying is enjoying her love tonight. As the most valued dog around Wu Qingying, Xia Wanning came to Weiyang Palace so late at night and in the heavy rain. Naturally, she came to laugh at her.

How could Xia Wanning, who has always been proud and arrogant, be laughed at by someone like her?

So even after being slapped by Xia Wanning, Zhang Ying didn't show any fear on her face. On the contrary, she still had that kind and harmless smile on her face: "Since the Imperial Concubine entered the palace, the Emperor has been favoring Weiyang Palace all these years. Only when the Empress comes to menstruation will Huang Shangge go to the bedrooms of other concubines. Now that you see that the Emperor favors the person you despise the most, Imperial Concubine, are you really willing to accept this?"

Although Xia Wanning was not a real ancient person, she did not understand why the ancients' every action, look, or word was full of intrigue.

But Zhang Ying made her words so clearly that Xia Wanning still understood the meaning of her words.

Xia Wanning immediately calmed down and looked at Zhang Ying coldly, "What do you mean? Why? Your master is favored, and maybe he can help you up and let the emperor favor you as well. You are not happy for your master, so why do you come to me and say these things?"

"Your Highness is a smart woman. You must know why Wu Zhaoyi served the Emperor tonight. Even if the Emperor really favored Wu Zhaoyi tonight, what would happen? In front of your Highness, Wu Zhaoyi's favor is just a flash in the pan. How can it compare to you, the evergreen tree that stands tall and unshakable?"

Although Xia Wanning doesn't like Zhang Ying, there is no one who doesn't like to hear compliments.

At least Xia Wanning was quite satisfied with Zhang Ying's compliments.

Xia Wanning snorted coldly, and then she found a place to sit down, with an arrogant look on her face: "Keep talking!"

"It is true that I am a person close to Wu Zhaoyi, but the Imperial Concubine does not know that I have long wanted to find another wise master. It's just that my status is humble and I can never be in the eyes of the Imperial Concubine. That's why I have been reluctantly staying by Wu Zhaoyi's side and doing things for her all these years..."

At this point, Zhang Ying changed her tone and quickly explained herself, "But don't worry, Madam Concubine. Although Concubine Wu often ordered me to do things related to your interests, I didn't obey Concubine Wu's orders and messed things up every time! The purpose was not to make you unhappy. If you still remember what happened before, you might as well think about it. Did Concubine Wu suffer a lot of losses every time at your hands, whether in words or actions?"

If you think about it carefully, is it really true?

Thinking of this, Xia Wanning's eyes when looking at Zhang Ying were not as hostile as before, but the gaze on her was still domineering.

She, Xia Wanning, comes from the 21st century. She has a modern mind and modern wisdom. This alone is enough for her to display her talents in this harem without having to form cliques.

What Xia Wanning disdains the most is forming cliques and factions. Among ancient people, especially in the harem, there was no true sisterhood.

They are all very selfish!

For a man, even biological sisters can become enemies, let alone those who are not related by blood.

When Xia Wanning first entered the palace, many women in the harem gave her precious gifts and expressed their desire to join her.

In the end, Xia Wanning rejected them all rudely.

As a result, Xia Wanning has been living alone in the harem all these years, without even a single friend.

Of course, she doesn't need friends!

If someone else had come tonight, Xia Wanning would still like to be alone as before.

But the person who came was Zhang Ying, and the lackeys around Wu Qingying were different.

Just when Zhang Ying was about to continue talking until her lips were worn out, she heard Xia Wanning looking at her with a half-smile: "So, is there any use for me keeping you by my side as my spy?"

Zhang Ying was instantly overjoyed when she heard the voice.

She knelt down in front of Xia Wanning and said, "My Lady, it would be my honor to be yours. Even if you want me to die, I would be willing to do it!"

Zhang Ying looked at Xia Wanning with eyes of idol worship.

Such a look gave Xia Wanning a great sense of vanity and satisfaction.

"If you want to become my person, my standards are very high. Not just any random person can become my person!"

Zhang Ying had a flattering expression on her face: "No one in the entire harem can compare to you in terms of beauty and distinguished family background. I have done nothing to deserve your attention. Rest assured, I will never let you down!"

Xia Wanning glanced at her and said calmly, "Alright, get up! Anyway, you just need to remember that since you have chosen to join me, you must be absolutely loyal to me. Otherwise..."
