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

"The emperor's ideas are very correct. It's only because what I said is right and it suits the emperor's wishes that he may reluctantly adopt it. On the surface, it seems that I have played some role, but in fact, the emperor has already made up his mind and the decision-making power lies with the emperor! I'm afraid I can't fulfill the empress dowager's instructions, and I have to rely on the queen!" Shen Zhiyao said with her head down.

"Well, what you said... is not entirely unreasonable..." The Queen Mother nodded and smiled, not at all disappointed by Shen Zhiyao's statement.

Next, the three of them chatted for a while about palace anecdotes.

During this time, the Queen sat there contentedly sipping tea. Apart from answering Queen Mother Zhao's questions, she rarely spoke, but she also listened to the conversation between Shen Zhiyao and the Queen Mother with great interest.

Time passed quickly when we were chatting, and before long, it was already the afternoon.

"Okay, I'm an old woman with nothing to do. The Queen's palace has a lot of affairs, so go and get busy first!" Queen Mother Zhao began to send people away.

"Then, mother, please have a good rest. I will take my leave first." After the queen stood up and bowed, she added, "A few days ago, the envoys of Ying State sent some top-quality old mountain ginseng. I will pick out some good ones and send them to mother tomorrow."

"Yun Ran is thoughtful." Queen Dowager Zhao nodded in response.

"It is inconvenient for me to disturb the Queen Mother's rest any longer, so I will take my leave first."

When Shen Zhiyao saw that the Queen was about to leave, she hurriedly stood up and said goodbye before the Queen left Renshou Palace to avoid arousing any concerns.

"You girl have nothing to do, and you have a clever mouth, so why don't you sit with me for a while and chat about family matters!" The Queen Mother said with a smile, but still looked as if she would not accept rejection.

These words sounded like an accusation that the Queen had no eloquence and was not as good as Shen Zhiyao in speaking.

"Yes, then I will chat with the Queen Mother for a while before leaving."

After saying this, Shen Zhiyao turned around and saluted respectfully to the queen: "Your Highness, I respectfully send you off."

"Well, I do have some things to do. Please spend more time talking to my mother on my behalf." The Queen said with a smile.

"Yes, I will definitely accompany your Majesty." Shen Zhiyao said.

After the queen nodded, she took Shijin's hand and walked out of Renshou Palace.

Shen Zhiyao had been secretly observing the Queen's expression, but she never saw that she was unhappy at all.

Shen Zhiyao watched the queen respectfully as she left the hall. Only when she was completely out of sight did she turn around and sit back in her seat, appearing to be very well-behaved.

Queen Mother Zhao has been secretly observing Shen Zhiyao's performance. This little concubine really knows the rules. She is not like some concubines who cannot keep their composure once they are favored and start to commit suicide in various ways.

But in this harem, stability alone is far from enough, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many innocent souls who died tragically.

Shen Zhiyao actually wanted to go with the Queen, so she took this opportunity to coax the Queen on the way.

The Queen Mother deliberately left her alone to talk, and the implication was too obvious.

Shen Zhiyao believed that Queen Mother Zhao wanted to harm people but did not want to do it herself, so she tried to sow discord between them so that she and the Queen would become enemies and suffer losses on both sides.

If she really fights with the Queen, the final winner will only be the Queen Mother. This move is really cruel!

"I heard that General Zhu Cheng's old knee injury recurred after he came back from the horse farm last time. He has been bedridden and has not recovered yet." Queen Mother Zhao took a sip of tea and pretended to be nonchalant.

"General Zhu is indeed capable, but he has too many worries. The emperor actually didn't blame him that day, but the general kept blaming himself and knelt on the ground for a long time. I also tried to persuade him earnestly, but the general was stubborn and didn't return home until his old injury relapsed. His loyalty to the emperor is truly admirable." Shen Zhiyao said regretfully.

Queen Mother Zhao looked at her innocent face and acted like a good person, and sneered in her heart: What a cruel and acting girl! If it weren't for you, Zhu Cheng would not have ended up like this!

Queen Mother Zhao suddenly remembered that after that day, Zhu Baolin had repeatedly asked Eunuch Li for an introduction, and he even knelt in the Buddhist temple for a long time and chanted scriptures every day, just to see her.

Queen Mother Zhao thought it over again and again, and finally agreed to her wish. Although the Zhu family was not as good as the Shen family, they were still useful.

However, it is ironic to think that after the father knelt, the daughter knelt too. This is the unique skill of the Zhu family, that is, they cannot get up from their knees after kneeling for a long time!

"You are a really kind-hearted child. I heard that Zhu Chengdu has questioned you and your father, but you are still willing to persuade him?" Queen Mother Zhao's words were quite meaningful.

"I can't say I'm kind, but my father once taught me that repaying evil with kindness is the basis of benevolence. General Zhu is just being serious. I'm a concubine of the Zhao Kingdom, how could I agree with him?" Shen Zhiyao said with a smile.

"It seems that you have a royal demeanor. The emperor has a very good vision." The queen mother said with a smile.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother is praising me highly, but when it comes to vision, it's you, Your Majesty the Queen Mother, who has the best vision. I still remember that when the selection of concubines was taking place, it was Your Majesty the Queen Mother who strongly recommended me to the Emperor!" Shen Zhiyao joked.

"Ah...it seems to be true. Look...my memory is so bad..."

Talking about this, the Queen Mother's smile was not very sincere. This big "hidden danger" was actually caused by her own recommendation. How could she not be angry?

At this time, the Renshou Palace was able to maintain a peaceful scene, but in the Fengyi Palace, Shijin began to nag again.

"Empress, I saw that Concubine Jin and the Empress Dowager were very close. The Empress Dowager even asked her to stay alone for a talk. Could it be true..." Shijin said worriedly.

"This matter is just hearsay at the moment. The truth is known only to heaven and earth, and those two people know it themselves. How could I know it?" The queen shook her head.

"Hmph! In my opinion, the Empress Dowager is having an affair with Jin Wanyi. Didn't you always teach us that we should rather kill someone by mistake than take it lightly? Why is it that when it comes to her, you're different again?" Shijin said angrily.

"There are only a few people in the harem who are worthy of my attention. She is indeed worthy of my giving her one more chance." The queen stroked the tassels on her belt and smiled gently.

"But... I feel that someone as capable as her must have even greater ambitions. What if she really covets your position as queen?"

Shijin bit his lip, feeling very conflicted inside.

In fact, she also admired Shen Zhiyao very much and really hoped that she could be controlled by her master.

But this kind of person is like a poisonous snake. If used well, it can be a sharp weapon, but if used poorly, it may backfire.

The Queen smiled, stroked the top of Shi Jin's head, and said, "I understand your concerns, but since I want Shen Zhiyao, I naturally have the confidence to control her. If she really does something stupid..."

The queen withdrew her hand and gently stroked a jade gold-eating beast on the desk. Her pale pink lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said, "A fool is not worthy of being by my side. When the time comes, I will send her away myself... It will not be in vain for me to admire her..."

Although these were harsh words, the queen said them calmly, as if she was talking about what to eat.

I think it would be difficult for any disturbance in this world to easily shake her heart.

Seeing her like this, Shijin's irritable heart suddenly calmed down a lot. His master had been very sober and there was no need for him to remind him!
