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

"The weather is very stuffy today, and the Queen doesn't seem to be in a very good mood. How about I walk with you first?" Shen Zhiyao looked at the Queen and smiled.

"Well, let's go for a walk." The queen also smiled. She finally understood. This year has been very awkward, but there is no need to worry too much. She has overcome so many difficulties, and there will always be a way to solve them.

The two walked to the outside of the palace. The prayer pavilion where the emperor was staying was right next to them. Looking over there, there was still light, so they thought he hadn't left yet.

The sky was filled with dark clouds. The queen let out a breath and felt much better.

Shen Zhiyao looked at the starless night sky. Others could not see any signs of snowfall, but to her, it seemed like it could snow at any time.

She followed the queen quietly. After they walked a dozen steps, they saw dotted lanterns in the palace, which seemed quite warm.

"I suddenly remembered that the two pens that the emperor rewarded you are still in Fengyi Palace. I will ask Shijin to deliver them to you tomorrow." The queen said in a gentle voice.

Shen Zhiyao glanced at the queen, and saw that her expression was as gentle as her voice, and seemed a little dreamy in the night.

The Queen's mind is truly broad, and she is not being falsely polite to me.

"Your Majesty, I left the pen with you on purpose. It is too valuable and I feel unworthy to accept it. Such a fine piece of calligraphy should belong to Your Majesty alone." Shen Zhiyao looked at the queen and smiled sweetly.

Her eyes, as she looked towards the Queen, were filled with genuine admiration.

"I can only write with one hand. If you really want to keep it, then just keep one." The queen said with a smile.

"The Queen is such a cold-blooded person... I left mine with you on purpose, thinking that I could visit you when I have time and help you copy books! But you insisted on sending it back to me!" Shen Zhiyao pouted.

"I have plenty of pens, how can I be short of one for yours? Why do you keep that one?" The queen was used to her being cheesy, but now she was much calmer.

"Her Majesty, really is..." Shen Zhiyao was about to scold, but when she looked at the Queen's phoenix crown, her eyes froze instantly.

The red lanterns held by the assorted people were shining on the phoenix crown on the queen's head. It was faintly glowing, as if a few crystal snowflakes were stuck on it...

The queen felt a little uneasy at her staring eyes. Just when she was about to ask a question, she noticed something strange!

Snowflakes are falling loosely, and in the dark night, they are hard to detect unless you look at them under the light.

“Empress…” Shen Zhiyao stretched out her hands, caught the snowflakes, and smiled excitedly: “It’s snow! It’s really snowing!”

Even though Shen Zhiyao had expected this, she was still startled by the late arrival of these precious snowflakes and cried out.

Her sweet voice penetrated the darkness and resounded through the empty night sky.

The Queen found it very pleasant to listen to. She could not help being infected by her emotions. She also stretched out a hand to catch the snowflakes and smiled happily.

The sky seemed to be suddenly touched by a switch, and large flakes of snow poured down. It was not difficult to see that this snow was definitely not small!

"It's snowing!" Shijin, Qiuyue and the others also began to laugh in surprise, and the same joyful laughter gradually came from the distance in the palace.

This new year began with this sudden auspiciousness...

The next day, the Queen, out of sympathy for everyone, exempted them from paying respects for three days. However, Shen Zhiyao seriously suspected that the Queen was tired from recent work and wanted to hide away and be lazy.

When it was almost time for lunch, they first received eight dishes from the imperial kitchen selected by Bo Muxi.

"Master, these are dishes from the emperor's exclusive imperial kitchen. They are incomparable to what the harem's kitchen usually cooks." Zhe Ni smiled and served the dishes to Shen Zhiyao.

"The emperor is very generous. It really snowed this time. I guess there are more good things to come." Shen Zhiyao smiled.

Sure enough, just after the meal, Lin En came with people carrying boxes of various sizes.

The emperor was truly magnanimous. He carried the statue all the way here, making everyone in the harem drool with envy.

"Your servant pays his respects to Concubine Jin." Lin En saw Shen Zhiyao from afar, and trotted forward to pay his respects with a smile on his face. He finally realized that this Concubine Jin had great potential.

"You don't have to be so polite, Eunuch Lin En." Shen Zhiyao smiled at Lin En kindly: "It's snowing so heavily, and you have to trouble yourself to make this trip. Come and have some tea and warm yourself up."

"Your Majesty, there is no hurry to drink the tea. I must first show you the good things that the Emperor specially sent!" Lin En bowed respectfully again: "The Emperor is really special to you. These good things were all picked out from the warehouse by the Emperor himself with me!"

Everyone knew that Bo Muxi had his own small storehouse, in which he kept various rare items. Normally, except for the empress dowager and the queen, few concubines could receive rewards picked out from there.

Lin En opened the boxes one by one, and said, "Your Majesty, these fabrics are not simple. There are Huzhou silk, brocade and gold satin, and double-faced brocade. The emperor specifically asked you to make more seasonal clothes."

"And these rouge and powder tributed by Ying State, and the incense and spices tributed by Zhuyu State, are all things that the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not have!"

Shen Zhiyao took a quick look and found that they were indeed valuable things, but the emperor also said that day that he would give her an unexpected great reward, so could these be it?

"I would like to trouble Eunuch Lin'en to thank the emperor for his grace on my behalf." Shen Zhiyao smiled sweetly.

"Of course. However, if Your Majesty has time, it would be better for you to thank the Emperor in person." Lin En said with a smile.

Shen Zhiyao ordered someone to send Lin En a purse full of goods, and even personally accompanied him for tea and snacks.

After Lin En left Cui Wei Xuan, he straightened his crooked collar and said with emotion: No wonder Concubine Jin is favored! This man speaks and acts in a proper manner, even to eunuchs like them, he does not put on airs, and fully takes care of Lin En's self-esteem.

Of course, they are willing to give extra "care" to such a master.

In Cuiweixuan, Shen Zhiyao was taking Qiuyue and the others to carefully select from a pile of items.

She separated out a portion of the items bestowed by the emperor and specifically asked Qiuyue to deliver it to Lu Wanyi. The rest were sorted out by Qiuling and the others for their own use.

Shen Zhiyao has always been generous. Everything she gave to Lu Wanyi were precious and good things, and none of them were perfunctory.

In Changdeok Palace, Bo Muxi, who had solved the hidden danger, was leisurely reviewing memorials when he saw Lin En coming back to report.

"How is it? Is Concubine Jin happy to receive the gift?" Bo Muxi asked while holding the teacup and drinking tea.

Lin En straightened his back and said seriously, "Empress Jin is very grateful to the Emperor and even asked me to bring a message to the Emperor."

After saying that, Lin En imitated Shen Zhiyao's emphasis in a vivid way: "I will thank God for my whole life, allowing me to serve the emperor. The emperor is handsome and tall, a perfect combination of style and appearance. I admire the emperor very much, and I only wish to be with the emperor forever in this life."

Lin En imitated the trick very well and actually made Bo Muxi spit a mouthful of tea on his face. He really couldn't help it and was broken and laughed by Shen Zhiyao's flattery.

This woman is really something that makes people love and hate her...
