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

"Your Majesty, please don't bother with me. I will play chess with you seriously!" Shen Zhiyao blinked her peach blossom eyes, looking very lovable.

Bo Muxi smiled, let her go, straightened his clothes and said, "Since my beloved concubine asks me so much, I will definitely satisfy you."

Shen Zhiyao cursed him in her heart, but on the surface she just pretended to be shy and asked Qiuyue and Zheni to put the chess pieces on the board.

Shen Zhiyao asked them to bring out the precious Go set that the emperor had given them last time and place it on the table.

"My beloved concubine is so generous. She uses such a precious thing right away." Bo Muxi joked, and his emotions could not be seen for a moment.

Qiuyue, who was serving on the side, was startled when she heard the words, fearing that the emperor would blame her master for not knowing how to cherish it. If such items were obtained by other concubines, she would want to burn incense and offer them as sacrifices, and would not be willing to use them!

"I will naturally make good use of what the emperor has given me as a reward. It's a rare opportunity for the emperor to accompany me. If I don't use this set of Go, it would be an injustice to the emperor of the Great Zhao Kingdom." Shen Zhiyao said with a sly smile.

Bo Muxi was very pleased to hear this. He liked Shen Zhiyao's generous personality. No matter how precious something is, it should be used by others. Some concubines just served after receiving a huge reward, which made Bo Muxi sneer. Only people who felt they were not worthy of the person would do this.

For someone like Shen Zhiyao, Bo Muxi felt that she deserved to own any precious thing in the world.

"My beloved concubine, you are absolutely right. Let's use this set of Go more often in the future!" Bo Muxi laughed heartily.

The emperor's behavior did not seem to be polite at all, so Qiuyue and Zheni breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were secretly amazed that their master was different from others in every way. His seemingly unreliable actions always managed to please the emperor unexpectedly!

Shen Zhiyao sat at the desk with full confidence, her fighting spirit ignited, and she felt the room getting hot.

She actually followed her heart and took off her cloak, even rolled up the sleeves of her robe, and took off the jade bracelet on her wrist, looking like she was ready to "kill everyone in her way".

Seeing her like this, Bo Muxi found it both funny and cute. Only then did he realize that the charcoal burning in the little concubine's room was also natural charcoal.

"On the way here, I asked Lin'en to send you some charcoal, but I didn't expect that my beloved concubine had used it before me." Bo Muxi teased.

"The Emperor is busy with state affairs all day and rarely thinks of me. The Empress has already ordered someone to send me some of this charcoal. I can finally live a more comfortable winter!" Shen Zhiyao said coquettishly.

There is a hint of anger in these words.

"Well, I was a little negligent. However, with your cleverness, you will not suffer any loss. You will find ways to earn what you deserve." Bo Muxi said with a smile.

Shen Zhiyao glared at Bo Muxi in reproach, then snatched the black piece away angrily.

Bo Muxi hadn't played chess for a long time and was very greedy, so he stopped teasing him and concentrated on playing chess.

Shen Zhiyao was different from other concubines. She was very quiet when playing chess, never spoke, and moved very lightly, which made Bo Muxi very happy.

Shen Zhiyao has been studying a lot of chess books recently, and has improved a lot. However, she still lost the first game.

So, Shen Zhiyao was very unwilling to accept the defeat and fought fiercely, but she still lost the second game.

When Bo Muxi saw her frustrated look, he immediately smiled like a cunning fox. He had been very competitive since he was a child, and would be stimulated to become even stronger when he met a strong person. It was also because Shen Zhiyao was really good at chess that he could take it so seriously.

"Your Majesty is truly amazing. I have studied chess manuals for such a long time, yet I still lost so easily! I will play one last game with you. If I still lose, Your Majesty, please give me some more time and I will practice hard again." Shen Zhiyao said in a tender voice.

Bo Muxi smiled upon hearing this and said, "My beloved concubine has made such rapid progress. If you continue to practice, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with you!"

"Your Majesty is so mean. You have only just figured out the moves you made today. You have been improving quietly. If I don't work hard, how can I catch up?"

Shen Zhiyao was truly impressed by the emperor. In order not to lose to his concubine, he must have done a lot of private research. He was just like the top student in the class who openly declared that he was having fun, but was actually studying secretly!

"Okay, I'll play another game with you. This time, I'll give you more leeway." Bo Muxi laughed.

When playing chess with him, everyone wanted to lose to him in various ways. This was the first time that Bo Muxi saw someone who was so determined to beat him.

Bo Muxi couldn't help but think of the Queen again. Gu Yunran's chess skills were even better than Shen Zhiyao's. Sometimes even he would lose!

Bo Muxi felt that it was very interesting to play chess with these two. The queen's style of play was quite leisurely and carefree, while Shen Zhiyao's style of play was fierce and aggressive.

In comparison, the Queen's chess style is more like her personality, elegant and calm, while Shen Zhiyao's is more varied. Bo Muxi naturally prefers to play chess with Shen Zhiyao because he can get more enlightenment and inspiration.

"To be honest, my beloved concubine, I have been troubled by some things that happened in the previous dynasty."

In the third game, Bo Muxi was obviously enjoying the game very much and even wanted to chat with Shen Zhiyao about the affairs of the court.

"Since I entered the palace, I have not seen Your Majesty live a carefree life. You are responsible and diligent. Sometimes you fall asleep with a frown on your face. I am just a woman and can only stay by Your Majesty's side and try my best to relieve his stress." Shen Zhiyao said obediently.

Shen Zhiyao didn't ask at all why the emperor had a headache. It was not her business. She knew very well that one should not cross the line in anything.

Bo Muxi glanced at her, feeling very satisfied, and said with a smile: "My beloved concubine has done very well. For example, today, I enjoyed playing chess so much that I felt relieved."

Lin En stood aside with his head bowed, but he was also frightened when he heard it. He understood better than anyone that the emperor's seemingly sincere complaint just now was actually a test for Concubine Jin!

Once upon a time, there was a queen who was extremely talented and loved by the emperor. However, she was disliked by the emperor because she pointed out the problems between the emperor and the empress dowager too clearly.

Today, this concubine who was once the most favored in the harem is still imprisoned in the cold palace!

Lin'en was used to seeing women in the palace committing suicide in various ways, so it was rare for him to see someone as insightful as Shen Zhiyao, and he wanted to make friends with her.

Bo Muxi had just vowed that he would let her win the third set, but Shen Zhiyao still lost.

However, it was not easy for Bo Muxi to win. Shen Zhiyao fought tenaciously to the end, forcing him to put in all his energy to deal with it.

The evenly matched game made Bo Muxi physically and mentally satisfied. Without waiting for Shen Zhiyao to protest, he carried her into the inner room.

Bo Muxi was busy with government affairs and had not been intimate with other concubines for a long time. He seemed to be very "hungry" and had a "violent outburst" on Shen Zhiyao.
