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

Queen Mother Zhao's words were quite meaningful. She was actually looking for Shen Zhiyao to chat, and even forgot the original appointment with the Queen.

The Queen Mother was also hinting that she cared about Shen Zhiyao more than the Queen, and her seemingly unintentional favoritism was even more heartbreaking.

When these words came out, even Shijin, who was standing aside, raised his eyebrows.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyao hurriedly glanced at the Queen's expression, but saw that she seemed not to have heard it. She still had a decent smile on her face and looked very calm.

Shen Zhiyao understood that the Queen Mother was praising herself and stepping on the Queen at this time, obviously in order to provoke the Queen, increase her sense of crisis, and create a rift between them.

"Mother, you must not say that. You are in good health. It is normal to forget things occasionally. Even I often forget things!" The Queen said sincerely, her eyes full of concern for the Queen Mother.

"I know very well that the Emperor and Yun Ran are both so filial!" Queen Mother Zhao nodded, her face full of satisfaction.

"The Empress Dowager and the Queen have important matters to discuss, so I'd better take my leave first." Shen Zhiyao bowed obediently.

She knew that the Queen Mother would never let her leave now, but she still had to pretend, otherwise she would seem too immature.

"I am just feeling anxious and bored. There is nothing important to do. I am just chatting about family matters. It is rare for us to get together today, so why not just chat together?" Queen Mother Zhao said with a smile.

Shen Zhiyao did not agree immediately, but looked at the queen with a questioning look.

Queen Mother Zhao pretended not to see anything and just picked up the teacup and drank tea.

At this time, Nanny Wang also brought tea cups to the other two young ladies.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is right. We, your servants, have not thought it through. We have been busy with our own affairs all day and neglected your Majesty. In the future, I should spend more time chatting and drinking tea with your Majesty. Today is a good day. Concubine Jin and I will chat with your Majesty together." said the Queen.

"Yes, then I will listen to the Empress Dowager and the Queen and keep it." Shen Zhiyao said very obediently.

"You are now a concubine. According to the palace rules, Cuiweixuan is a little small and old. If you are not used to it, I will ask the queen to find a better place for you to live. Of course, it would be best if it is closer to me so that it is convenient for you to come to my place. I am old and not as good as before. I really need someone to accompany me and talk to me."

When Queen Mother Zhao was speaking, she only looked at Shen Zhiyao the whole time and didn't even look at the Queen.

Shen Zhiyao cursed inwardly, this Old Deng is too mean, he is simply afraid that he won't die fast enough!

The Queen Mother's concern at this time is like a death warrant, so unlucky!

"Thank you for your concern, Her Majesty the Queen Mother! Her Majesty the Queen has always said that she would give me a better place to live. However, I have been living in Cuiweixuan since I entered the palace. It is a little small, but it is quiet and peaceful, and the Emperor has also sent people to renovate it. I am nostalgic and do not want to move for the time being!"

Shen Zhiyao deliberately emphasized that the Queen also wanted to move her to a new place to live, thus preventing the Queen Mother from making a fuss about the matter.

"If the Queen Mother is lonely, I will definitely try to talk to you more often with the Queen. I hope you don't find me annoying!"

Shen Zhiyao's answer was flawless, and every word she said was about the Queen.

Seeing that Shen Zhiyao's answer was quite appropriate, Shijin felt much better although he was still unhappy.

"You can come often. I won't find you annoying at all." Queen Mother Zhao said with a smile.

"I am afraid I haven't thought it through. No matter how busy I am, I will bring my sisters to accompany mother more often in the future," the queen said earnestly.

"Well. You guys are so filial, I am happier than getting any treasure." The Queen Mother Zhao was smiling at this time, and she was really happier than getting any rare treasure.

"I just like to chat about family matters. For example, I heard that a few days ago, many concubines ran to Cuiweixuan with gifts. Why was that?" The empress dowager looked at the queen and Shen Zhiyao with a look of interest.

Shen Zhiyao cursed in her heart, what a joke! She was digging holes for herself everywhere!

The queen also looked at Shen Zhiyao at this time, waiting for her answer, still unable to tell whether she was happy or angry.

Shen Zhiyao knew that she had to be extremely cautious in any answer she gave at this moment. If she was not careful, she might offend the two big bosses in the harem.

"To answer the Empress Dowager's question, when I was making the saddle and stirrups, the Empress and Concubine Lu contributed a lot, but the Emperor didn't know the details and only rewarded me. I didn't dare to take credit for it, so I found an opportunity to explain to the Emperor, and then the Emperor rewarded Lu Wanyi posthumously."

"But some sisters in the palace didn't know the whole story, and they thought that Lu Wanyi got the benefit because she was close to me, so they all came to her house with gifts to make friends with her. I naturally weighed the cost and knew I couldn't afford it, so I refused them all on the pretext of illness, and I didn't dare to accept any gifts either."

When Shen Zhiyao talked about this matter, it was like telling a story, vividly and colorfully, without giving people the feeling of explanation at all, which was very appropriate.

"Well. Concubine Jin is very sensible and handled the situation appropriately. Alas! Nowadays, some concubines in the harem always think of ways to please others! They are not serious at all!" After saying that, the empress dowager picked up the teacup, glanced at the queen and Shen Zhiyao, and then took another sip of tea.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyao couldn't help but sigh: This old lady is really powerful!

Queen Mother Zhao was good at finding fault with the enemy. By saying this, she not only put Shen Zhiyao and other concubines against each other, but also secretly accused the Queen of being negligent in managing the harem and failing to educate and manage the concubines well.

"I can understand these sisters very well. How could any woman in this world not be moved by a monarch as handsome and majestic as His Majesty? They try every possible means just to have more opportunities to be alone with His Majesty!"

Shen Zhiyao spoke sincerely. She tried her best to attribute the concubines' actions to the women's admiration for the men they liked, downplaying the utilitarianism, playing the emotional card for everyone, and preventing the empress dowager from making a big deal out of it.

"Mother, I sometimes feel deeply embarrassed. I can interfere in everything, but I cannot restrain the concubines' love for the emperor." The queen was indeed patient and made favorable remarks at the right time, but refused to explain more.

"You are right. If the queen tries to control her love too much, she will definitely be accused of being a jealous woman. I have been through this myself and have suffered greatly from it!" sighed the queen mother.

"The emperor is my own flesh and blood. I naturally understand that he is a man of his own ideas and rarely listens to the concubines. It seems that it is rare for him to listen to Concubine Jin's explanation. You should make good use of this and whisper more positive words to the emperor, so that I can feel more at ease!"

The Queen Mother picked up the teacup and spoke calmly, but Shen Zhiyao could be heard gritting her teeth!

As the mistress of the harem, it is the Queen's duty to give advice to the Emperor. Queen Mother Zhao is simply trying to please the Queen!

And Shen Zhiyao was treated as the most painful "eye drops" by the Queen Mother...
