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

"I was too shallow-minded!" Qiuyue suddenly realized. She thought her master was really too kind-hearted, so she wanted to persuade her master!

"You..." Shen Zhiyao poked her forehead and said with a smile: "Remember this well, your master is not stupid, not a good person, but a sophisticated egoist. I am too lazy to do thankless tasks!"

"master!"

The two were talking when they heard Chu An knocking on the door outside. After all, there are differences between men and women, and he didn't have the courage to push the closed door directly.

"Come in." Shen Zhiyao said gently.

Chu An came in cautiously and bowed, "Master, I have found out some news and I am reporting it to you!"

"Well, Chu'an is becoming more and more capable now. Tell us about it." Shen Zhiyao smiled and peeled another chestnut.

Chu An was praised, rubbed his forehead shyly, and said: "Some people in the palace are very bad. They are talking about the master assisting the queen. They are openly comparing you with Concubine Zhao, but they are actually trying to sow discord between you and Yuquan Palace..."

"These gossipers are so annoying!" Qiuyue said hatefully.

"They are all low-brow tricks that are not worthy of being shown on the stage. I am not afraid of them." Shen Zhiyao put the peeled chestnut into her mouth indifferently, chewed it for a few times, and then said leisurely: "Besides, Concubine Zhao can't take care of me now. Her attention is all on the Second Prince."

"That's right. With the second prince now, the eldest prince is no longer the most special one." Qiuyue nodded.

"Master, there is one more thing. Although it has nothing to do with us, it has been widely spread..." Chu An said with a wink, obviously not like an ordinary

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." Shen Zhiyao's gossiping heart was completely aroused by him.

"The people from Yuquan Palace said that Prince Rui carefully selected a stunning dancer and said that she would be presented to the emperor in the near future!" Chu An spoke vividly and even described how stunning the dancer was.

Qiuyue's face turned red after hearing what he said, and she kept scolding him for being indecent.

"Hmph..." Shen Zhiyao peeled another chestnut and sneered, "This Duke Rui must have done it on purpose... This time, it's really going to be a good show..."

"Master?" Qiuyue was puzzled.

"This matter is not simple. A few days ago, there was no snow in Zhao State, and a fire broke out in the palace. The people were worried about disasters in the coming year, and rumors were also spreading from the previous dynasty. Although the prayer for snow was successful, public opinion has not been completely eliminated." Shen Zhiyao put the chestnut in his mouth and stopped talking.

Prince Rui sent the dancer away with great fanfare at this time, and made the matter known to the whole city.

When the people of Zhao State heard this, they didn't know how to guess the character of the prince, and they couldn't help but suspect that the emperor had always been lustful.

"Interesting..." Shen Zhiyao suddenly smiled, pointed at the chestnuts on the table and said to Chu An, "Go get a plate of freshly fried chestnuts and give it to the emperor."

"Giving chestnuts to the emperor?" Chu An scratched his head: "Master, if the emperor asks why he is giving this, how should I answer?"

"Just say I was eating chestnuts and suddenly thought of him, so I sent a plate over." Shen Zhiyao said with a sweet smile.

Chu An really couldn't figure it out, how could anyone send this to the emperor? But he still went obediently.

Looking at Chu An's back, Shen Zhiyao sneered in her heart. It would be fine if Hu Cairen didn't stop her.

After all, she is now a third-rank lady of honor. If this damn dancer can come in easily again, her name "Shen" will be written backwards!

In Changdeok Palace, Bo Muxi was still dealing with memorials. There were constant wars on the border and the nomadic peoples were not having a good time.

Fortunately, Shen Li was there to keep the situation under control, and the Dazhao Kingdom had sufficient grain reserves. With a wave of his hand, Bo Muxi allocated a lot of grain to the border to solve the urgent problem and avoid internal unrest on the border.

It’s just that public opinion has not yet completely reversed, so we need to be more careful recently.

"Your Majesty, the eunuch from Cuiweixuan has arrived with something, saying that it was specially sent to you by Empress Jin Shuyi." Lin En hurriedly reported it while the emperor had finished reviewing a memorial.

"Oh?" Bo Muxi thought about it. He had already wasted an entire morning for Concubine Zhuang. If someone else had bothered him, he would have just sent them away. But if it was Shen Zhiyao...

Bo Muxi felt that the woman would never do something boring, so he put down the new memorial in his hand and said with a smile: "Call her in."

Lin'en thought, as expected, the emperor treats Jin Shuyi specially.

Not long after, Lin En brought Chu An here. The emperor often went to Cui Wei Xuan, and Chu An had seen it many times, so he was not as frightened as the others.

"Your servant pays homage to His Majesty." Chu An held a snack box and knelt down to salute.

Lin En stepped forward, took the food box from his hand, placed it on the desk in the imperial study, and opened it carefully.

The emperor came forward with great interest to take a look, and saw only a plate of ordinary chestnuts. He was immediately speechless.

"Ahem..." Bo Muxi coughed twice in boredom, sat back, and asked in a tone, "Is this what your master specially sent to me?"

You're going to give this thing to the emperor? What kind of emperor would want this thing?

Bo Muxi just felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Chu An could hear the emperor's displeasure and kowtowed in reply: "My master was eating chestnuts at that time, and suddenly he missed the emperor terribly. He was afraid of disturbing the emperor from handling government affairs, so he specially asked the servant to bring some steaming hot chestnuts for the emperor to taste..."

Chu An lied and complained, what kind of hard job did the master give her? If the emperor got angry, he would be dead!

Bo Muxi raised his eyebrows and picked up a chestnut. It was still warm.

Lin En was very perceptive. He hurried forward and skillfully peeled a chestnut for the emperor.

When the emperor ate it, he felt it was sweet and sandy, but not as sweet as the feeling in his heart.

Shen Zhiyao seldom takes the initiative to express her longing for him like this. Bo Muxi sometimes even wonders if this woman needs him in particular.

"Mm, it's delicious. Your master is thoughtful." Bo Muxi smiled happily: "Lin En, reward him."

Chu An was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a while to come to his senses. He then knelt down to express his gratitude.

When Lin En took Chu An out of the imperial study, he handed Chu An a heavy plain purse and said with a smile: "You are so lucky to be able to serve Empress Jin Shuyi. You are so blessed!"

"Eunuch Lin'en is right. I don't know what kind of blessing I have earned in this life." Chu'an took the red envelope with both hands and bowed.

Lin En patted his shoulder politely, nodded with a smile, and asked the eunuch next to him to take him out of Changdeok Palace personally.

He has to take better care of the servants around Madam Jin Shuyi, because his master is so powerful.

Chuan felt cramps in his calves when he left Changdeok Palace. He sat down in a pavilion to rest and opened his purse to find ten taels of silver inside!

A plate of hairy chestnuts, which Zhe Ni roasted himself, could actually be exchanged for so much money!

Chu An smiled and couldn't help but take back his previous words. The job given to him by his master was really a lucrative one!
