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

Lu Wanyi was about to express her opinion when she heard the eunuch guarding the door singing: "The Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress have arrived!"

The emperor and the empress should have gone to Renshou Palace hand in hand to invite the empress dowager, and then arrived together.

Everyone knelt down to greet them. Bo Muxi was obviously in a good mood today. With a smile on his face, he asked everyone to take a seat.

Queen Dowager Zhao loved opera, but because Bo Muxi had only been on the throne for more than three years, she was afraid of giving people a chance to criticize her, so she resisted the urge to bring opera troupes into the palace.

Bo Muxi naturally understood his mother's thoughts, and had already built a luxurious theater named "Qingyin Pavilion", intending to wait for an opportunity to make his mother happy.

Apart from slightly different political views and positions, the mother and son have a very harmonious relationship.

Today's repertoire was personally selected by Queen Mother Zhao, including "Zheng Dan Beats the Boy" and "Li Sanlang's羯鼓 Urges the Flowers to Blossom". The troupe was formed by famous actors carefully selected by Bo Muxi years ago, and they planned to transfer the performances to the palace and support them from the national treasury.

Hundreds of high-ranking concubines and officials were present at the scene, making it a grand and lively occasion. The Queen Mother Zhao really enjoyed the show and laughed heartily.

"Mother, I have made all the arrangements. You can dispatch this troupe to perform for you at any time." Bo Muxi handed a token that could be used to command the troupe to the empress dowager who was sitting on his left.

Of course, this token is just a gimmick to add a sense of ceremony. Even if it didn't exist, the Queen Mother could still order the troupe.

"The emperor is so thoughtful. I am very happy today." Queen Dowager Zhao took the token and was obviously very moved.

Putting aside his ambitions, her son is a rare filial son.

"As long as my mother is happy, whatever my son does is worth it." Bo Muxi said with a smile.

"Mother, I have specially prepared several costumes for you. I will accompany you to perform and sing a play one day to satisfy your acting craving." The Queen came over and said.

"Good! Good! You are all so filial, I am so blessed!" The Queen Mother laughed.

Bo Muxi looked at the empress dowager who was so relaxed that he wanted to say: Mother, if you can be content to enjoy your life in the harem and not make plans for the Zhao family, your son will make you happy every day...

But these words can only be kept in my heart forever.

Shen Zhiyao ate cakes and snacks while watching the fun. She actually didn't understand the play. In modern times, she had played many kinds of roles, but she had never played a role related to drama. She really hadn't developed any dramatic talent at all.

Occasionally, she would glance at Bo Muxi who was sitting on a high seat, and the latter would often return her a few glances, with ambiguous teasing in them that they could understand.

Shen Zhiyao couldn't help complaining in her heart: The dog emperor is really good at seducing people! And he looks so feminine. If he were in modern times, he would be very suitable for acting in a BL drama!

If Bo Muxi knew that Shen Zhiyao was actually fantasizing about him and another man in her heart, he would definitely skin her alive!

The three-hour play finally ended, and everyone waited tacitly for the next show.

"Prime Minister Hu, I have always heard that you have a daughter who is very knowledgeable in music. Is she here with you today?" Bo Muxi asked with a smile.

Hu Hongfei had naturally reported to the emperor in advance, and the emperor's casual question was nothing more than a formality.

Upon hearing this, Hu Hongfei stepped out of the group, knelt down and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, my daughter has come with me today. I dare to let my daughter play a song in public to entertain the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and the Empress!"

"Well, that's great!" Bo Muxi nodded and smiled.

The State of Zhao has always had this tradition. Before the selection of concubines for the harem begins, if an official with enough weight wants to push his daughter into the palace, he can seize certain opportunities and find a plausible reason.

It's just that when Zhao Qing forced Zhao Jingzi in, the emperor was unwilling, but he had privately agreed to let Hu Hongfei's daughter in.

Hu Feihong's daughter did not come to pay her respects to the emperor as usual. Just when Shen Zhiyao was feeling strange, she heard a melodious piano sound coming from a corner of Qingyin Pavilion.

Everyone looked towards that corner, and saw a row of white gauze as thin as a cicada's wing hanging around a wooden platform, which just covered the woman who was sitting and playing the piano.

Shen Zhiyao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Although both of them were "selling their daughters", this Prime Minister Hu was obviously one step ahead in this and sold it so elegantly. He was indeed quite skilled.

Shen Zhiyao glanced at Bo Muxi, only to see that he seemed to be mesmerized by what he had said. He sat there motionless, but his eyes were darting back and forth between the gauze, and he was obviously very interested in the hazy and pretty figure.

Shen Zhiyao curled her lips in dissatisfaction, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. She glanced at the queen unconsciously, only to see that the queen was still sipping tea, looking contented.

Shen Zhiyao laughed inwardly: Our queen really has no interest in love affairs, she is more like a "straight woman of steel", haha...

Shen Zhiyao had no intention of enjoying the music. Her attention was all on Bo Muxi. However, she saw that Bo Muxi's eyes were gradually shining, and she actually felt like she had met a soulmate.

Shen Zhiyao felt it was a great pity. As an artist who had been working in the entertainment industry for more than a decade, she had many skills, but she couldn't play the guqin. She also knew that learning the guqin was not easy.

The performance of the piano was getting better and better. Hu Feihong winked at the eunuch standing under the platform. The eunuch made a gesture, and two palace maids walked to the edge of the platform. They slightly lifted the white gauze on both sides, and the woman in red was revealed.

Even though they haven't seen her face clearly, everyone can still be sure that this woman is a beauty because of her excellent character.

Shen Zhiyao saw that Bo Muxi's eyes seemed to freeze in an instant, fixed on the red figure in the corner.

Prince Rui naturally also saw Bo Muxi's reaction and was secretly delighted, but he still pretended to be serious on his face, as if he was appreciating music theory.

Bo Muxi felt it was just a fleeting glimpse, and a certain emptiness in his heart seemed to be about to be filled. Somehow, he suddenly thought of Shen Zhiyao. This woman and the little concubine really had two completely different styles!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance in the direction of Shen Zhiyao, but was met with a pair of resentful peach blossom eyes.

Bo Muxi had seen many different kinds of looks from Shen Zhiyao, but he had never seen one so hesitant. Didn't it seem like she was really jealous?

Bo Muxi found it funny and felt a sense of satisfaction. If there weren't so many people around, he would really like to take the opportunity to tease her.

Shen Zhiyao saw the emperor suddenly turn his head and look at her with amusement, but she was not afraid. She met his gaze generously and fully expressed her "dissatisfaction".

If she was a "pea shooter", Bo Muxi's body would have been riddled with holes long ago.

Just when Shen Zhiyao insisted on immersive output, Bo Muxi curled the corners of his lips, smiled evilly, turned his head and continued to face Mu Tai, refusing to look at her again.

Shen Zhiyao felt so annoyed that she turned her head away from him. She just thought that this straight emperor was so annoying!
