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

"In my opinion, Concubine Zhao and her group are too impatient and don't think carefully. Concubine Jin has no offspring to compete for and is only a fourth-rank concubine. There is really no need for her to take such a risk. How could the emperor not understand this?" Bao Luan analyzed.

Lu Wanyi glanced at him and said with a smile, "I knew you were enjoying this show. Jin Wanyi's move was cruel enough to use the emperor's heir to frame someone."

Lu Wanyi walked to the table and sat down: "This hat is heavy! It is like a knot in the emperor's heart. Next, Concubine Zhao must protect her pregnancy. If something goes wrong..."

"Based on my understanding of Concubine Zhao, she will definitely let the child slip away, and then make it look like Concubine Jin was angry and her depression led to the miscarriage, then she can kill two birds with one stone..." Bao Luan thought.

Lu Wanyi smiled after hearing this: "We really think alike. When you were not here, I was already thinking about this."

"What does the master mean?" Bao Luan walked forward, squatted in front of Lu Wanyi, and looked up to observe her expression.

Bao Luan has been displaced all along the way. With the death of his mother, his heart has become broken. Now he is barely able to survive, relying on his hatred for Zhao and his complicated feelings for Lu Wanyi.

But he was a eunuch and was not worthy, but he was the only one in the palace who was willing to truly satisfy her.

Just guard and protect it like this, nothing else to ask for.

"Concubine Zhao won't be able to keep the baby in the near future. Instead of letting Zhao Yuhan use it to harm Concubine Jin, it's better to..." Half of Lu Wanyi's face was buried in the shadow again, and her voice became lower and lower.

"Bao Luan, it's time to settle some accounts, but... let's discuss it more and don't be like those fools who made so many loopholes."

As soon as she finished speaking, the corners of Lu Wanyi's lips slowly rose, and her smile was weird and charming.

Bao Luan looked a little dazed, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Master, do you really want to help Concubine Jin?"

Lu Wanyi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "She is one of the few people in the palace who is willing to take care of me. Regardless of whether she is sincere or not, it is already very rare."

"The Queen treats me well, but I know that there is a trade-off. At least, Shen Zhiyao has given me enough respect... Besides, am I not using her?"

"People, in the final analysis, are just using each other..." Lu Wanyi's eyes sank slightly, and her words were filled with deep sadness.

Once upon a time, she had some expectations of the emperor, but a premature birth completely shattered her girlhood dream. She saw no care, only calculations after weighing the pros and cons.

Bao Luan's lips trembled a few times, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"I never thought of using you... I am sincere to you!" Bao Luan would probably only take such words into his coffin...

In Changde Palace, Shen Zhiyao played three games of chess in a row with Bo Muxi, and actually won one by chance. She was looking at the emperor with a smile on her face, showing off like a peacock spreading its tail.

Bo Muxi shook his head and smiled helplessly. There were many women who had played chess with him. Some of them were eager to lose to him in "fancy ways" and begged for mercy, while others acted coquettishly and cutely and begged him to give in, thinking that playing tricks was cute.

A queen who is powerful enough will also be humble and polite when she defeats him.

Shen Zhiyao is the only one. She tried her best to defeat me with her strength and even showed off in front of me.

This man really didn't want to pretend at all, which made Bo Muxi feel fresh. Not to mention women, even men didn't dare to treat him like this.

Lin'en was also convinced. He really couldn't understand why a concubine like Jin Jieyu would let the emperor fall for her tricks.

When Shen Zhiyao had finished showing off, Bo Muxi said with a smile, "It's rare for my beloved concubine to win, so I have to show my appreciation."

Shen Zhiyao's eyes lit up when she heard that. She looked at the emperor with anticipation, waiting for her reward, with her charming peach blossom eyes flashing.

In fact, she didn't care about any reward. Trying her best to win the emperor was just an important part of her strategy to conquer this "awkward and sinister man".

"Lin'en, bring up the 'Chang Chu' offered by the envoys from Ying State and let Jin Wanyi have a taste." Bo Muxi ordered with a smile.

This Chang Chu is so rare in Zhao State that the envoys from Ying State specifically said when they offered it that eating this fruit regularly is very good for the body.

Due to their scarcity, Bo Muxi only gave two each to the empress and the queen mother, and the other concubines had no chance to taste them.

"Yes." Lin En responded, and immediately asked someone to bring it. However, he felt a little strange in his heart, thinking that the emperor wanted to take the opportunity to play a trick on Shen Zhiyao!

Shen Zhiyao, who came from the modern era, had no idea what 'Chang Chu' was. She stared at the plate with curiosity and realized that it was just a kiwi fruit.

The kiwi fruit was peeled and the flesh was green, plump and juicy. Shen Zhiyao hadn't eaten it for a long time and her mouth was watering immediately.

Shen Zhiyao picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. She immediately wrinkled her nose because of the sourness. She wanted to spit it out, but saw Bo Muxi looking at her expectantly.

I think the envoys from Zhao State were afraid that the fruits would go bad, so they intentionally chose those that were not yet ripe, so that they could be eaten after they had softened.

She was almost dying of jealousy and had to close her eyes and endure it.

Seeing her like this, Bo Muxi smiled happily.

Seeing that the emperor was really teasing him, Lin En gently tried to smooth things over by explaining, "The fruit tributed by the neighboring country is indeed rare. I think Empress Jin Wanyi is not used to it. It's also because I was not careful enough. I will dry it and give it to the Empress. It will still be delicious."

Shen Zhiyao narrowed her eyes, secretly watching Bo Muxi's evil smile, secretly scolding him for being mean and mean, but she said one thing and meant another: "Fortunately... This is my first time eating, and I was too timid. I am sorry to make Your Majesty laugh at me."

"My beloved concubine is so capable, but there are times when she feels incompetent." Bo Muxi smiled maliciously.

Shen Zhiyao couldn't help but secretly scold him for being stingy. If a man like this was born in modern times, he deserved to not be able to find a wife! Even if he did find one, he deserved to be cheated on!

"Your Majesty loves to make fun of me. I can't do anything, so I can only rely on the favor of Your Majesty and the Empress!" Shen Zhiyao finally recovered and no longer felt jealous.

"My beloved concubine, your expression changes so quickly." Bo Muxi continued to tease her, obviously still making fun of her previous arrogance.

In fact, Bo Muxi really liked her energy, but the more he liked her, the more he liked to play pranks on her. This was the first time he really played a prank on his concubine.

"I have played chess with Your Majesty so many times, and I have tried my best to win this game. I am so happy that I can't help but want to show off! Your Majesty! Please be magnanimous and don't bother with your concubine..."

Shen Zhiyao didn't care and just shook Bo Muxi's arm and acted coquettishly.

Bo Muxi suddenly felt better, and he had earned enough face and money. He smiled and ordered: "Lin'en, serve the meal! Ask the imperial kitchen to make some more food for her that they don't usually have!"
