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

This question was asked sincerely, leaving Concubine Lu speechless. Everyone also felt that Shen Zhiyao was a person of character, and they really didn't think that she was deliberately making things difficult for others.

"Okay, Concubine Jin is just like that. We will have a long time to live together in the future, so you should pay less attention to superficial things." The queen had seen enough of the excitement and finally spoke at the right time. She also waved her hand and asked everyone to sit down.

Now that the queen has spoken, it is not convenient for everyone to make trouble for anyone else.

Concubine Zhao glanced at Hu Baolin with pride. Seeing that the two were having a great time fighting, she felt relieved. If the two of them joined forces, it would be troublesome.

After the routine greetings, the Queen said solemnly, "I have been busy with sacrifices and prayers recently, so I will be more or less relaxed about the affairs in the harem. You still need to exercise self-discipline. If anyone causes trouble at this juncture and brings extra trouble to the Emperor and me, I will not forgive him easily."

Everyone responded hurriedly, with a solemn look on everyone's face. It had not snowed in Zhao State yet, and the emperor and empress were under great pressure. No one dared to offend them at this time.

"As the year draws to a close, I have been considering everyone's promotions. Although I cannot take care of everything, I will try my best to consider everything." Seeing that everyone was well-behaved, the queen spoke in a gentle manner.

It is not easy to be in charge of the harem. None of the concubines are easy to deal with, so you can only coax them by using both kindness and force.

Everyone present, except the concubines ranked among the nine imperial concubines, had anticipation in their eyes. According to convention, this promotion during the New Year was probably the only chance for some people.

After a few more pleasantries, the queen waved her hand and asked everyone to disperse, and everyone filed out.

This time, Shen Zhiyao still stood still, looking at the queen with a smile.

Bo Muxi had indeed greeted the Queen in the morning. The Queen was naturally aware of it and looked at her with a smile and amusement in her eyes.

"You are such a troublesome person. You have angered the Emperor, but you have to come to me to receive punishment. This really adds to my work." The Queen pretended to be angry.

Shen Zhiyao knew that the queen was not really angry, so she smiled and said, "I have caused you some trouble, but I have also gained some benefits. The emperor gave me some good things. I will go out and find Qiuyue to get them for you."

"Don't bother." The Queen stopped her and said, "Let's go to the study and ask Shijin to bring Qiuyue in directly. We are all family, so don't be so rigid about etiquette."

"Then I'll trouble you, Shijin." Shen Zhiyao turned around and smiled at Shijin.

Seeing her being so polite, Shijin naturally felt comfortable and said with a smile, "Madam Jin, there is no need to be polite. I will go and get sister Qiuyue right away."

Shen Zhiyao smiled and nodded to Shijin, then followed the queen to the study.

"I haven't heard that you have any conflicts with Hu Baolin. Why do I feel that you dislike her very much?" the Queen asked as they walked.

"To answer your Majesty, let alone the holidays, she and I have never had any contact at all." Shen Zhiyao said, moving closer to the queen: "She seems to be decent in her actions, but somehow, she always makes me feel uncomfortable and I don't like her."

"Hmm..." The Queen smiled and nodded: "It's rare. But I think there's nothing wrong with it. You don't have to get along well with everyone."

It's rare for the queen to say such words, which shows that she truly treats Shen Zhiyao as her own.

As they were talking, the two of them entered the study. Shen Zhiyao took a look and saw that on the desk were some historical records of Zhao Kingdom's sacrifices. It seemed that the Queen had been worrying a lot about Qixue's matter recently.

As they were talking, Shijin also brought Qiuyue in. Shen Zhiyao took the long wooden box and handed it to the queen with both hands, smiling.

The queen opened the box and saw the two pens inside, and her eyes lit up instantly.

The Queen picked up the pen and twirled it lightly with her fingers. "I heard that the Emperor only has six pens of this type, and three of them were awarded to three scholars of the Imperial Academy whom he values ​​very much. Many people coveted this pen, but the Emperor was reluctant to give it to them. This time, he spent a lot of money to punish you."

Shen Zhiyao's heart moved, and she smiled and said, "That's right. Actually, the emperor wanted to give the pen to you, the queen. I happened to catch up, and the punishment was also incidental."

The queen smiled and said, "No matter how good you are at talking, I can't escape your punishment. This time, the emperor sent Lin En to find me early in the morning to settle things down."

Shen Zhiyao pouted: "The Emperor is really... He doesn't care about other things, but he remembers this kind of thing so well!"

"Who told you to provoke me, you..." The queen smiled, and thought in her heart that the emperor should like someone like Shen Zhiyao, who is bold, sensible, and able to stir the emperor's emotions just right.

It seems that Bo Muxi is used to being strong, and it is rare for him to have an opponent who dares to challenge him.

"Don't worry about that for now, Your Majesty. What do you think of this thing I made myself?" Shen Zhiyao said, and then she took the newly developed lipstick from Qiuyue and presented it to the queen like a treasure.

Before the Queen had a closer look, Shijin's eyes lit up and she hurriedly came forward to look at it over and over again. As the Queen's personal "makeup artist", she couldn't put this new thing down.

The lipsticks in the palace were all of a single color, but the ones Shen Zhiyao brought included colors like "Dachunhong", "Xiaochunhong", "Danxinhong", and even a black lip balm.

"Empress Jin, what materials are these lip balms made of? Are they harmful to the body?" Although Shi Jin loved them very much, she was most concerned about safety.

Shen Zhiyao laughed: "They are all made of pure plants, and some oils and beeswax are also used. If you are interested, take some time to come to Cuiweixuan and we can make it together."

"Okay! Then I will really go." Shijin's face suddenly turned red with excitement, and her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at Shen Zhiyao.

"Just come on, how can I hide anything from you? You can keep these things and study them slowly." Shen Zhiyao smiled.

"Then I would like to thank Lady Jin Jieyu!" Shijin happily took the lipstick on the table. She was happier than if she had received any jewelry.

Shen Zhiyao looked at her and smiled secretly.

Finally, I found a breakthrough with this girl. If something like this happens again in the future, I have to call this girl in advance. If I can deal with the queen's personal maid, my relationship with the queen will naturally be able to rise one or two levels!

The queen looked at Shijin's expression and smiled and shook her head.

This little girl has a complicated relationship with Shen Zhiyao. Sometimes she would even chatter and say bad things about her in front of her. But now, she is being coaxed by her and is happy. It's really...

"Shijin, please bring the things I asked you to prepare this morning. I am entrusted by the Emperor!" said the Queen with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Shijin quickly took a copy of "Female Rules" from the bookshelf and placed it respectfully on the tea table.

Although she thought of Shen Zhiyao's kindness in her heart and felt very sympathetic towards this interesting empress, there was nothing she could do because it was the emperor's order.

Shen Zhiyao looked at the "Female Rings" on the tea table, her face suddenly fell, and she looked at the Queen pitifully.

The Queen found her like this very amusing and was about to tease her again, but she saw the Chief Eunuch Qi hurriedly walked in and whispered something in the Queen's ear.

The queen frowned slightly, looked up at Shen Zhiyao, and said without hesitation: "Something important happened with Concubine Zhuang, do you want to go with me?"
