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

At this time, in the royal study of Changdeok Palace, Lin En was refilling the incense burner with ambergris, while Bo Muxi was reviewing memorials to the emperor. Every day he had endless memorials to review, endless meetings to attend, and endless troubles to deal with.

"Lin'en, is Zhu Cheng still kneeling?" Bo Muxi moistened his pen and asked while marking the memorials.

"In reply to the emperor, there's news from the horse farm that General Zhu couldn't hold on any longer and was carried away by the eunuchs on duty at the horse farm." Lin En said in a low voice after covering the incense burner with the lid.

"Hmph...useless thing..." Bo Muxi slammed the memorial he had just reviewed on the table, not very satisfied.

Bo Muxi originally wanted him to learn a lesson and change his impulsive temper. The fact that the Duke of Jinfeng Cheng Yuanhua led 5,000 light cavalry to steal the camp had a lot to do with his temper.

Bo Muxi picked up another memorial and sighed: It's still useless after all... If he can survive this time, I will definitely give him some benefits, what a pity...

Bo Muxi sneered, shook his head, opened the memorial and began to review it carefully.

Lin En hesitated for a long time before saying, "Your Majesty..."

"Hmm?" Bo Muxi looked up and glanced at him, then lowered his head to continue reviewing memorials: "When did you start to hesitate in front of me?"

"I dare not. I just fear to upset the emperor. The servants in Zhu Mansion brought news at that time, saying that General Zhu had been kneeling for too long, and his knee injury... I'm afraid it has recurred... He needs to recuperate for a few more days..." Lin En said slowly while observing the emperor's expression.

Upon hearing this, Bo Muxi paused while marking the memorial. The brush accidentally made a black dot on the memorial, but he didn't even notice it. The imperial study fell into silence, and even the sound of Lin En swallowing his saliva could be clearly heard...

"Waste!" Bo Muxi suddenly threw the memorial hard on the desk, scaring Lin En so much that he shuddered.

Bo Muxi summoned Zhu Cheng back this time, firstly, he wanted to analyze the border war from his perspective, and secondly, he wanted to give him more responsibilities, as someone had to check and balance Shen Li.

Unexpectedly, this person was ruined for several months!

Bo Muxi was almost pissed off by Zhu Cheng! Can't he kneel down to please him? Can't he think of another way if he can't kneel anymore? What a reckless man!

No matter if they are concubines or ministers, if they cannot protect themselves, what is the point of being affectionate to the emperor? Useless affection is worse than a dog.

"Lin'en, ask the imperial physician to prepare some of the best ointments and send them to Lord Zhu. Tell him to take good care of himself. I still want to use him!" Bo Muxi said perfunctorily.

Bo Muxi said one thing, but in his heart he was thinking another: Find some more generals, train them first, if Zhu Cheng is good, continue to use him, if not... let him go home and retire...

At the same time, everyone in Cuiweixuan was in high spirits. The palace servants were doing their best to change lanterns and make floral decorations. Their master had given birth to a concubine, who was only half a level above the nine concubines.

The servants of Cuiweixuan feel that their lives are becoming more and more hopeful. Who knows, one day, they will also "take off" with their master!

At this time, Shen Zhiyao was reclining on the couch in the warm room, studying the newly written poetry collections of the emperor and the empress. On the small table next to her, there was even a scripture copied by the empress.

If others saw this, they would think Shen Zhiyao was obsessed with the emperor and the empress! In fact, she was just trying to understand their new ideas through the poetry collection.

"Master, the eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs has brought you a sedan chair!" Qiuyue suddenly ran in and said excitedly.

"Well, give her more silver as a reward. Don't be stingy with it." Shen Zhiyao advised with a smile. This little girl is still very young, so she has to take good care of her. When she can manage the family, she will be much more relaxed.

"I will keep my master's teachings in mind. I plan to reward the eunuch in charge with ten taels of silver, and the other eunuchs with two taels of silver each." Qiuyue said with a smile.

"Yes. That's right. Remember to do things generously like this in the future. Our Cuiweixuan will never be short of money, and we must make a name for ourselves." Shen Zhiyao said with a smile.

"Yes, master, I'll do it right away." Qiuyue got the affirmation and ran out with full confidence.

After Qiuyue left, Zhe Ni was the only one left in the warm room to serve. This girl Zhe Ni was growing very fast and was now almost surpassing Qiu Ling.

Shen Zhiyao really didn't expect that just by making saddles and stirrups, she would be promoted from the fifth-rank Wanyi to the fourth-rank Concubine, skipping the fourth-rank Concubine.

Her promotion speed is among the best even when compared with the concubines of Zhao State throughout history.

"Master, you have been promoted to imperial concubine. The monthly salary will increase from one hundred taels to three hundred taels. We will have more financial resources now." Zhe Ni said with a smile while massaging Shen Zhiyao's calf.

"It doesn't matter, actually. I don't live on the monthly salary. But I can give you more bonus money every month." Shen Zhiyao said with a smile.

The Shen family is indeed not short of money, and they give Shen Zhiyao a lot of silver subsidies every month. If she only lives on the silver given by the emperor, it will not be enough to take care of various things in the palace.

The reason why some concubines are not popular in the harem is because of lack of money.

"Master, you have already rewarded us enough, and we are all very satisfied." Zhe Ni said with a smile.

"Now that I've been promoted, I can promote another first-level palace maid. After thinking about it, I decided to promote Qiu Ling first. There are still two positions for second-level palace maids left, so I will promote you and Qiu Ji." Shen Zhiyao pondered.

"Thank you for your grace, my master!" Zhe Ni was so excited that he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in a row before stopping.

"Get up quickly! Why are you so polite to me? When I summoned you, I said I would treat you as my own as long as you work hard." Shen Zhiyao stood up and helped her.

Zhe Ni was so excited that her eyes were filled with tears. Ever since the death of Concubine Zhang, whom she had served, she had been like a rootless duckweed in the palace, without support, and living a life that was not like a human being.

When choosing servants, almost all the concubines in the harem are "clean freaks" and absolutely do not want "second-hand goods". She thought that this would be the way her life would go on.

The appearance of Shen Zhiyao was like a ray of light that illuminated her entire life. Now this light was becoming brighter and brighter, and her bright future was visible to the naked eye.

Shen Zhiyao first walked to the door, confirmed that there was no one around, and then closed the door and said, "Zhe Ni, I need you to do something for me. This matter, in this world, can only be known by you and me, and you must not tell anyone else, understand?"

"Master, just tell me. Even if I bite off my tongue and swallow it raw, I will never tell anyone!" Zhe Ni looked into Shen Zhiyao's eyes and said firmly.

Shen Zhiyao had also been observing her for a long time, and now that she was sure that she was reliable, she was willing to entrust her with this "important matter."

"Well, of course I believe you." Shen Zhiyao pulled her to the edge of the couch and sat down, then asked in a low voice: "Do you have a way to get the herbs for making contraceptive soup?"

Zhe Ni's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he knelt down and said, "My queen, all the women in the harem are racking their brains to get pregnant, how can you have such an idea?"
