Shen Zhiyao just felt it was strange. She had guessed that the emperor would have lost interest in the novelty of the matter and would not be in the mood to look for her again for the time being. So what was going on?

She had no choice but to ask Chu'an to ask the kitchen to prepare dinner. If the emperor was coming, she would naturally have to add a few more delicious dishes.

After everything was ready, Shen Zhiyao went outside to greet him, and Bo Muxi arrived soon as expected.

"Look at you, your nose is frozen red. Didn't I just tell you that you don't need to go out of your way to welcome him?" Bo Muxi raised his eyebrows.

"The emperor said there is no need to welcome him, which shows his love for me. But if I really did as he said, I would be taking advantage of his favor too much. The emperor is so diligent in handling government affairs every day, it is only right for me to welcome him outside." Shen Zhiyao lowered her head and looked obedient, especially well-behaved.

"Your little mouth is still very lovable when you are not stubborn." Bo Muxi took Shen Zhiyao's hand and walked into the yard.

Normally, Bo Muxi seldom took the initiative to hold the concubine's hand, but for some reason, when he saw Shen Zhiyao, he always liked to hold hands. Every time he held her hand in his palm, he felt addicted as if he had the world in his hands, which made him happy.

"I just like to make sense. I don't really have any bad intentions. Look at what you said about me..." Shen Zhiyao said coquettishly.

After entering the hall, before sitting down, Bo Muxi deliberately glanced at Lin En who was following him, waiting for his understanding, and then hurriedly held the wooden box in both hands and handed it over like offering a treasure.

"Your Majesty, is this a reward for me?" Shen Zhiyao stared at the wooden box, her eyes sparkling.

"Open it and see if you like it." Bo Muxi smiled quite proudly, like a sunny boy.

Shen Zhiyao opened the wooden box and saw a necklace made of pure gold, inlaid with rubies that showed off its wealth. It was obvious at first glance that it was very expensive.

This jewelry can greatly enhance one's status and is easy to match with clothes. It is also a symbol of favor in the palace. How can an ordinary concubine have it?

Shen Zhiyao was wondering in her heart, these two "Emperor and Empress" were really willing to spend a lot of money to get things done to her, they really deserved to be the official "CP".

Bo Muxi leaned in closer, stared at Shen Zhiyao and asked, "My beloved concubine, do you like this? I personally searched the storehouse for a long time this afternoon!"

"Of course I like it!" Shen Zhiyao said, and asked Qiuyue to help her put on the collar: "Your Majesty, do I look good wearing it?"

Bo Muxi examined it carefully and was indeed very satisfied. He had remembered this thing in the afternoon and it suited the little concubine very well. It was worth his effort to dig deep into the ground.

"I heard that the Queen rewarded you with a box of crystals. Is what I have not as good as those?" Bo Muxi asked with a deliberately stern face.

Shen Zhiyao was surprised when she heard this, and secretly complained in her heart: Oh my god, is this a competition with the queen? This shouldn't be the case!

"The crystal is very beautiful, I naturally like it." Shen Zhiyao said, carefully taking off the necklace, and said with a smile: "The necklace given by the emperor is priceless, I can't let it go. Although they are both very precious, they are different objects after all, how can they be compared? I am greedy, I love them all!"

Bo Muxi liked her cleverness. She didn't deliberately belittle the Queen's reward to please him. He tapped her nose and said, "You are really good at talking!"

Shen Zhiyao handed the collar to Qiuyue, motioning her to put it away carefully, then she moved over, hugged Bo Muxi's neck, kissed his cheek, and quickly jumped away.

"I thank Your Majesty for his love. I will wear it well." She looked at Bo Muxi with a flushed face, her peach blossom eyes full of love.

Bo Muxi suddenly felt in a good mood. As expected, anything given to her was worth it.

The meal was quickly served on the table, and they were all Bo Muxi's favorite dishes.

"How can my beloved concubine be so familiar with my appetite?" Bo Muxi was obviously very curious. He seldom talked about his taste with others, and only a few people such as the Empress Dowager, Lin En and Eunuch An knew about it.

"Every time I accompany Your Majesty to dine, I always pay attention to your taste. Although the number of times is not very often, as long as I pay enough attention, I can always figure it out. Of course, some things still require guessing. Maybe I am lucky and guessed it correctly."

Shen Zhiyao explained while personally serving the food to Bo Muxi.

Why does she need to be so attentive? Isn't this a manifestation of extreme love?

Bo Muxi thought self-righteously, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

Shen Zhiyao seemed particularly attentive today and served Bo Muxi a lot of food.

But she was not polite and did not lie at all, and ate a lot.

Bo Muxi watched her eat with great interest. This person had really good table manners. She ate a lot and enjoyed her meal very much, but she didn't seem to be rude. It was really rare.

Sometimes he ate with other concubines, and they all ate very little on purpose, for fear that they would eat too much and he would dislike them.

The stove in Cuiweixuan was burning warmly, and the two of them were not in a hurry to sleep, so they snuggled in the recliners and chatted.

"Did you enjoy the play yesterday?" Bo Muxi originally wanted to ask her, and if she liked it, he would arrange two more performances for her in private in the future.

"I like it, it's a really good show. However, I think the person playing the piano is even better!" Shen Zhiyao pointed out deliberately.

"Are you jealous?" Bo Muxi looked at her with his narrow eyes, which were also sparkling, which was rare.

"No way! It's common for new sisters to come into the palace. How could I handle it?" Shen Zhiyao pouted.

"My beloved, are you sincere in what you said?" Bo Muxi continued to ask.

Shen Zhiyao suddenly smiled charmingly: "Sincerely, but not sincerely."

"Oh? My beloved, please elaborate on it." He was really attracted by this answer.

"For the stability of Zhao State and the continuation of the royal family, it is natural and reasonable for Your Majesty to take more concubines." Shen Zhiyao smiled very officially at this time.

"But..." Shen Zhiyao changed the subject and her smile faded a little: "As a concubine who loves the emperor, I naturally hope that the emperor will love me more and spend more time and energy on me."

Bo Muxi looked at her slightly melancholy but well-behaved appearance, and felt infinite love in his heart. What a good woman! She truly loves him and is very sensible!

But how could he know that in the world of emotions, there is no rationality or reason. If one can really restrain himself, it means he doesn't love her enough. Men just don't understand. They think that since they can be rational enough, excellent women can naturally be as well.

So in Bo Muxi's eyes, Shen Zhiyao is considered a sufficiently good woman.

Thinking about this, Bo Muxi couldn't help but stretch out his clean and slender fingers and gently stroke Shen Zhiyao's small earlobe: "My beloved concubine, there is no need to speak so pitifully. My beloved concubine has such an extraordinary appearance and personality, I will definitely not be willing to neglect her..."

Of course, the emperor had one more thing to say: As long as you don't do anything stupid...
