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

Hu Baolin was wearing a silver-purple palace robe with a white rabbit fur collar. He looked really warm. It must have been newly sent by the Queen.

She wore a silver belt around her slender waist with a warm jade inlaid in the middle, making her figure even more graceful.

Her steps were very calm, and the hem of her dress swayed gently with her steps. Although it was her first time to pay respects in Fengyi Palace, it was obvious that she was not at all stage-frightened and acted like someone who had seen the world.

Everyone looked at her face carefully again, and saw a pair of extremely deep eyes on that slightly charming face. Her whole body exuded elegance and charm. She was truly a rare beauty.

Shen Zhiyao also admired her carefully and felt that this person was extremely feminine in her every frown and smile. With Shen Zhiyao's broad mind and temperament, when she met such a beautiful woman with superb piano skills, she would want to get closer to her.

But Shen Zhiyao subconsciously felt that this person was being pretentious, and subconsciously, she didn't like Hu Baolin very much.

Sure enough, it was Li Xiaoyi who started the trouble first.

"Tsk tsk, look at Hu Baolin's appearance. He stands out among us sisters. He is just like a plum blossom with an unworldly temperament. He also has superb musical skills. I think he will soon become famous..."

Shen Zhiyao's eyebrows flew up when she heard this. Li Xiaoyi was really mean. "Flying onto a tree branch and becoming a phoenix", is this a random metaphor? Where does this put the queen?

Looking at Hu Baolin again, he seemed very calm, as if he didn't understand at all.

She smiled sweetly and said, "Although this sister is sincerely praising me, she accidentally used the wrong metaphor. In this harem, the only one who can fly to the top is the Empress. We sisters are just a foil, but we dare not have any other thoughts."

Shen Zhiyao laughed secretly in her heart, this guy was no pushover either, Li Xiaoyi had kicked the wall again.

Everyone was extremely jealous at this moment, and no one wanted to speak for Hu Baolin.

"Sister, you are such a fresh and refined person, and you can even recite such an obscure piano score by heart. Don't you have any other thoughts? It sounds fake." Li Xiaoyi pressed on.

"Sister, you are joking. I am just a piano fanatic. Apart from playing the piano, I don't have any other skills. I can't compare to your delicate heart."

Hu Baolin deliberately prolonged the tone of his voice, as if hinting at something, and did not let Li Xiaoyi gain any advantage.

"I dare not compare myself with Hu Baolin. You have Prime Minister Hu behind you. Naturally, you are different from us." Li Xiaoyi said sarcastically.

These words were clearly meant to create hatred for Hu Baolin. In terms of family background, those present were not much different, but apart from the Queen and Concubine Zhao, there was indeed no one who could compare to Hu Baolin.

Even if Shen Zhiyao's father was a great general, he was not as good as the prime minister of the dynasty. The Zhao Kingdom also advocated controlling the military with civil power, and the status of the prime minister was indeed higher.

Concubine Lu Shu smiled and said, "Now that you mention it, it's true. Hu Baolin has a distinguished family background and looks blessed. I think he should sleep with me tonight. If he is lucky enough to give birth to a prince, it will be a blessing for the harem."

Shen Zhiyao thought that Concubine Lu Shu was even more capable. With just a few words, she raised Hu Baolin's hatred by two levels.

All the women in the palace who can stand their ground have been tempered in the swords and storms, and can taste the taste of life.

Zhang Wanyi also came over with a smile, as if she suddenly remembered something: "Hearing Concubine Lu Shu mention this, I suddenly remembered that Concubine Lu Shu mentioned it the other day. She specially sent someone to send a gift to Sister Hu, but Sister Hu didn't respond well! I guess it's because of her great family background!"

Concubine Lu Shufei, the rumor-monger, did not feel embarrassed at all. She could even look at Hu Baolin calmly, acting like a victim.

Hu Baolin was in no hurry to explain the whole time, and just watched their "performance" with a smile.

Seeing that no one else was interrupting, she smiled and said, "I have just entered the palace, how dare I turn my face away from the people sent by Concubine Lu Shufei? I think it's because I'm not used to the palace and didn't sleep well, so my face is not good. I've made the Concubine worry too much. I will come to your house to apologize in person later."

Hu Baolin neither exposed Concubine Lu's lies in public nor hurried to explain. Instead, he generously found an excuse so that both parties could temporarily save their lives. This move was a smart one.

Shen Zhiyao felt that although Hu Baolin was of a low rank, he was indeed an opponent that should not be underestimated.

Li Xiaoyi was not polite anymore and rolled her eyes at Hu Baolin, which made Shen Zhiyao laugh.

"Okay then, I'll wait for my sister to come over." Although Concubine Lu Shu said this with a smile, it still sounded creepy.

"Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting for long." Hu Baolin was not afraid at all and bowed with a smile.

After Zhu Baolin lost to Shen Zhiyao in the last horseback archery competition, his father was humiliated by Shen Zhiyao again, and he has always hated Shen Zhiyao in his heart.

Seeing Shen Zhiyao enjoying herself, she rolled her eyes and said, "Oh, I think Hu Baolin is very kind and amiable. He is very sharp-tongued and very similar to Concubine Jin. Even their looks are equally stunning!"

After she said this, everyone turned their eyes to Shen Zhiyao, as if they were watching a show.

"Zhu Baolin is quite interesting. Today is the first time that Hu Baolin comes to Fengyi Palace to pay his respects. The sisters find it interesting and want to talk about him. But why are you bringing this up with me?" Shen Zhiyao stared at Zhu Baolin sharply with her peach blossom eyes.

Zhu Baolin knew how powerful she was, so she could only say hesitantly, "I think Hu Baolin is somewhat similar to you, sister."

Shen Zhiyao curled her lips and smiled, saying contemptuously, "Similar? I advise Zhu Baolin to stop being so clever. If you want to watch a play, why not go to the Qingyin Pavilion and listen to it?"

"Oh... I forgot." Shen Zhiyao pretended to be surprised: "You may not be able to order the troupe around, why don't you go and ask the emperor for help!"

"You! You..." Zhu Baolin was stunned by Shen Zhiyao's attack. She never thought that she just wanted to draw the focus to Shen Zhiyao, but as soon as she showed her head, she was "headshot" by Shen Zhiyao.

"Oh, Concubine Jin's talking skills are getting better and better. Maybe she is stimulated by Hu Baolin's extraordinary character. You may not be able to compete with him in the future!" Concubine Zhao is worthy of being a high-ranking concubine. She dares to make sarcastic remarks with real swords and guns.

"I admire Hu Baolin's character. However, I am young, so if you compare me with him, I still have some competitiveness... But, Concubine Zhao has to pay special attention, because there will be one more person in the palace who can attract the Emperor!" Shen Zhiyao smiled like a powerful little fox.
