Time Travel: The actress's acting skills exploded, and she was favored by the harem

Chapter 106 Help the team fight for benefits

"Your Majesty...I'm already like this, and you still want to tease me..." Shen Zhiyao pouted.

"I'm not teasing you at all. I'm clearly praising you. How can a little concubine like you be so smart? Invisibly, you have helped me solve a big problem." Bo Muxi said, and couldn't help but hug her tighter.

Even Bo Muxi felt that his temperament was quite strange. He longed to have a woman who was worthy of walking side by side with him, but he did not want this woman to be too cold and intelligent, like the queen.

At present, the appearance of Shen Zhiyao seems to be able to satisfy his fantasy.

"Your Majesty, please don't think too highly of me. I just had some small ideas by chance. It was all thanks to the Empress who helped me arrange craftsmen, and to Concubine Lu who also did her best to help me. Otherwise, how could it have been so smooth!" Shen Zhiyao said.

Bo Muxi could feel that Shen Zhiyao's words were completely sincere, which made it even more rare. Among the women in the harem, except the queen, it was rare to have such a broad mind to praise her "rival in love" to the emperor.

"Oh? Concubine Lu also contributed?" Bo Muxi was quite surprised.

Since the loss of her child, Concubine Lu has become a different person. She adheres to the principle of "mind your own business and not worry about other people's problems" and is rarely so enthusiastic.

"My beloved concubine is quite honorable." Bo Muxi chuckled, and there seemed to be a deep meaning in his words.

Yes, in this harem, anyone who knew that he could get help from the Queen and Lu Cainu would sigh like this.

"Where does I get the face? All my face was given by the emperor. Everything I have is thanks to the emperor!" Shen Zhiyao hugged the emperor's arm and said coquettishly.

"Your little mouth is really powerful when it's powerful, and it can also bewitch people when it's sweet!" Bo Muxi couldn't help but kiss her forehead and said lovingly.

Shen Zhiyao is very smart. She never becomes arrogant because of the emperor's favor, nor does she become proud of her achievements. She always hides herself at the right time and then highlights the emperor and the empress.

It can be seen that Bo Muxi enjoys this very much.

“However, although my face was given by the Emperor, I cannot use it for nothing. After getting help from my sisters, I profited alone and became famous. Which sister will be willing to sincerely help me in the future?” Shen Zhiyao changed the subject and said thoughtfully.

Shen Zhiyao's words were obviously talking about herself, but in fact she was hinting to Bo Muxi that since the saddle and stirrup were not made by the same person, he, as the emperor, could not favor one over the other and only give it to her.

"My beloved concubine, are there hidden meanings in your words? It sounds like you are pointing at me!" Bo Muxi obviously understood the meaning of her words, but he was not annoyed and still smiled gently.

It looks like there's hope! Shen Zhiyao decided to add a little more fuel.

"Sister Lu is also a pitiful person. She was attacked out of nowhere and lost her child. I heard that she will most likely not be able to have another child in the future. After all, she tried her best to protect the heir to the throne. Although she did not make any contribution, she did work hard."

Shen Zhiyao paused, and seeing that Bo Muxi was listening attentively, she continued, "The acquaintance between me and Sister Lu was quite dramatic. Now that she has helped me, it can be regarded as a contribution to our Zhao Kingdom."

After saying that, Shen Zhiyao didn't say any more, as saying too much would seem excessive.

"Well...my beloved concubine is absolutely right. I understand." Bo Muxi said without comment.

"Your Majesty, I am so sleepy." After Shen Zhiyao said this, she yawned and felt drowsy.

Since he had no intention of leaving anyway, Bo Muxi simply asked someone to come and serve the imperial edict.

When I lay back on the couch, clean and refreshed, Shen Zhiyao had already fallen asleep.

He lay on his side on the couch, propped up his head and looked at the sleeping face of the concubine, which still looked very beautiful.

In his entire life, he had never observed a person's sleeping posture so carefully, and a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

Bo Muxi couldn't help but stretch out his finger and poke her pink cheek. Shen Zhiyao was obviously annoyed and actually frowned and hit his hand.

As the Son of Heaven, this was the first time that someone dared to hit him, except for his deceased father. He felt his fingers were numb from being hit, and the feeling seemed to spread to his heart, making it itchy and numb.

Shen Zhiyao seemed to have regained consciousness after being disturbed by him, and said weakly, "Your Majesty, please have mercy on me and let me sleep."

Although she spoke in a coquettish tone, there was a hint of disgust in her voice.

Bo Muxi had never been despised like this before, and he pinched her face with a mixture of anger and amusement: "Okay, I'm tired too, let's go to sleep."

After saying this, he held the little concubine comfortably in his arms, feeling full and at ease in his heart.

Shen Zhili took the opportunity to curl herself up in his arms, humming and moaning, occasionally mumbling: "It's so hard to be a woman..."

Seeing that she was in pain, Bo Muxi thought for a moment and then gently placed his warm big hand on her lower abdomen, kissed her cheek, and fell asleep.

The next morning, when Bo Muxi got up, Shen Zhiyao was still dizzy and couldn't wake up.

This was also the first time she stayed in bed in front of the emperor.

Shen Zhiyao was still somewhat unwilling and tried to struggle to get up.

"My dear, please take good care of yourself. You don't have to help me wash and dress. I will ask the Queen for a few days off for you. When I'm done with my work, I will find time to come and see you." Bo Muxi put his lips close to her ear and whispered softly, doting and gentle.

"I thank your Majesty for your mercy, but I really can't get up! Your Majesty, please don't say this while blaming me for being rude in your heart!" Although she was weak, Shen Zhili was still unforgiving in her words.

"You...what do you think I am...can I be as shameless as you..." Bo Muxi was speechless.

Bo Muxi's work efficiency was indeed high. When Shen Zhiyao woke up, she heard two pieces of good news.

The emperor asked for a week's leave for her, so she didn't have to pay her respects as usual.

Concubine Lu was promoted to Lu Wanyi.

Everyone was in an uproar. In their eyes, Concubine Lu had been disliked by the Emperor ever since she had a miscarriage. She was even worse than a grasshopper in autumn. She had not been seen in the Emperor's bedchamber recently, yet she was able to skip a rank and be promoted after Shen Zhiyao. How could they not be angry!

Shen Zhiyao's "deeds" at the horse farm have become known to everyone in the palace, and everyone is convinced of her promotion. After all, she is so capable.

But Lu Wanyi has been criticized a lot.

Everyone in the harem is a shrewd person, and someone soon figured out what was going on: Lu Wanyi has been getting close to Jin Wanyi recently!

Shen Zhiyao had just finished her lunch when the threshold of Cuiweixuan was almost broken down by the concubines who came to visit!

Those who came to visit were all low-ranking concubines who were not very favored and had no backing. They wanted to advance but had no way to do so. Now they all wanted to join forces with Shen Zhiyao, the rising star.

They acted quickly. They sold their valuable belongings early in the morning, prepared some presentable items, and sent them to Cuiweixuan.

"Qiuyue, you must always excuse yourself from seeing anyone and be as polite as possible, but you must not accept anything sent to you. You must also warn the other girls to be low-key when they go out these days and not get carried away, otherwise, you will be punished by the family rules!"

Shen Zhiyao drank the palace-warming tea while giving instructions in a lazy voice.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Qiuyue secretly admired her master's foresight. She also learned a lot from him and hurried out to do the work.

"Master, Lu Wanyi is here. Do you want to see her?" Not long after, Qiuyue ran back and asked.
