"Okay, isn't it hot to keep pestering me like this?" The Queen smiled and pushed Shen Zhiyao.

"Your Majesty, I have brought you something good!" Shen Zhiyao smiled mysteriously.

The Queen just thought that she had brought something valuable again. Shen Zhiyao was now very wealthy, and the Queen knew this.

However, the Queen had no more need for the previous toys and didn't care that much.

Qiuyue had been able to follow her master in and out of Fengyi Palace for a long time. At Shen Zhiyao's signal, she brought the brocade box she carried with her to the tea table.

Shen Zhiyao opened it personally as if she was presenting a treasure. When the Queen and Lu Wanyi saw it, they were stunned.

What is this? The Queen and Lu Wanyi looked at each other in confusion.

"Empress, Sister Lu, I have been idle for a while, so I stayed in Cuiweixuan and made this tool specifically for cleaning teeth. I specially named it 'toothbrush'." Shen Zhiyao picked up the toothbrush and showed it to the Queen and Lu Wanyi with a smile.

"Sister, how do I use this thing?" Lu Wanyi asked curiously.

"I'd also like to trouble Xiao Shijin to bring the washbasin up. I'll demonstrate it to you myself. It's very easy to use. I guarantee you'll all say it's good after using it." Shen Zhiyao said with great confidence.

Shijin was speechless. It was the first time she encountered such a thing. The concubine came to the Queen's palace to wash.

But she was also curious about this thing, and soon she prepared the washbasin.

Shen Zhiyao demonstrated the most standard teeth brushing procedure for modern people on the spot, and the Queen and others were stunned.

"Oh, you know what, after Sister Shen finished brushing her teeth, they instantly became whiter!" Lu Wanyi observed carefully, almost sticking her lips to Shen Zhiyao's face.

"It's not obvious when I try it. There's a new toothbrush in the box. Sister Lu, try it here too!" Shen Zhiyao took out a new one and handed it to Lu Wanyi.

Lu Wanyi took the toothbrush skeptically, and under the eager gaze of everyone, she became the first "guinea pig" of the experiment.

It was my first time brushing my teeth in my life. Although I felt a little uncomfortable, I felt extremely refreshed after brushing.

While showing off her clean white teeth, Lu Wanyi sighed at Shen Zhiyao's amazing abilities.

Finally, the Queen and Shijin could no longer sit still and took out new toothbrushes to try out Shen Zhiyao's special tooth powder.

Sure enough, there is a magical effect.

"It's really a good thing. I will order the people from the Imperial Household Department to ask for your advice and make more of it and promote it in the harem. Of course, I won't let you teach me in vain. I will go to the Emperor in person to ask for a reward for you." The Queen said with a smile.

The queen naturally knew the precious significance of this toothbrush. If it had been promoted earlier, the nobles of the Huang clan as well as civil officials and military generals would have been able to protect their teeth in advance. Only when the teeth are good can the body be healthy.

This is a key invention that can improve the physical fitness and even life expectancy of the entire population of Zhao State!

"Empress, I don't really want any reward. Being able to create some value for the Emperor and the Empress can be considered my contribution to the State of Zhao." Shen Zhiyao said it in a clever way, but in her heart she was thinking about what reward she should ask for.

"Whether you want to do it or not is up to you, and whether I will fight for it for you or not is up to me." The queen took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

Shen Zhiyao is not a saintly person. She is just a greedy girl. She will only rush to do anything that is profitable.

The Queen was even more generous. She was never stingy with rewards for those who had made contributions, nor did she take all the credit for herself.

Shen Zhiyao is very optimistic about the Queen. The Queen is well versed in the essence of "management". As the mistress of the harem, she must be able to use benefits to drive others to complete tasks for her or achieve results.

Concubine Zhao was far from perfect in this regard.

Qiuyue was watching with great admiration from the side. These days, the servants in Cuiweixuan saw their master being obsessed with this and thought she had completely given up!

But it seems that my master is going to get a big reward again!

After some more commotion, Shen Zhiyao and Lu Wanyi left with a feeling of unfulfilled desire.

Shen Zhiyao had just regained her freedom, so they were naturally in no hurry to go back to the pavilion, so they went to the Imperial Garden together to relax.

"I heard that someone from the previous dynasty was urging the emperor to consider appointing a crown prince." Lu Wanyi said with a smile.

"These people are probably overthinking it. The emperor is not that old yet, yet he is making all these arrangements!" Shen Zhiyao looked at Lu Wanyi and smiled: "I estimate that it will take at least ten years before the queen will consider appointing a crown prince!"

"Who said it wasn't? Our emperor is bound to lose his temper again! There are only two princes in the harem now, and they are so young. Isn't this a disguised way of forcing the emperor to establish an eldest prince?"

Lu Wanyi covered her mouth and smiled, almost saying who was behind it.

"We don't have any children, so let's not worry about this. However, Concubine Wan is also pregnant. If she gives birth to another prince, Concubine Zhao's nose will be crooked on the spot." Shen Zhiyao laughed loudly.

"Oh, you are so mean that you actually hope that the imperial concubine's nose will be crooked! However, her nose is not that high, how crooked can it be?" Lu Wanyi burst out laughing and started to act frivolously as well.

"Okay, sister, your mouth is getting more and more vicious now. Is it because you have been with me for too long?" Shen Zhiyao teased.

The two of them were laughing and enjoying the flowers by the lotus pond, feeling very comfortable.

Shen Zhiyao was in high spirits and specifically asked Chu An to take some money to the kitchen to make a whole roasted leg of lamb for Lu Wanyi to eat together.

When they had enough fun, they hurried back to Cuiweixuan, where the roasted lamb leg and other food were already prepared.

Lu Wanyi even specially ordered someone to fetch aged Huadiao wine from Qingyuexuan, saying that she wanted to have a drink with Shen Zhiyao.

That night, there were constant sounds of laughter and noise coming from Cuiweixuan. Shen Zhiyao was drunk with red cheeks and chased Lu Wanyi all over the yard.

It was also that night that Bo Muxi saw that the Queen had finally ordered someone to put a green card on Concubine Hu again, so he turned over her card and went to Zheng Fuxuan.

Hu Cairen had not served the emperor in bed for a long time, so she dressed up elegantly and played a piece of "High Mountains and Flowing Water" for the emperor.

When the emperor closed his eyes and reveled in it, he suddenly remembered what the queen had said to him in the afternoon. Shen Zhiyao had given them another surprise.

Before coming to Zheng Fuxuan, Bo Muxi specially used the toothbrush sent by the Queen and brushed his teeth carefully. This refreshing feeling is really a blessing for people with mysophobia.

When the song ended, the emperor just opened his eyes, his expression was a little dazed. Through the thin curtain, he could not vaguely tell whether the graceful woman standing behind him was Hu Cairen or Jin Shuyi.

"Your Majesty, let me loosen your bones..." Hu Cairen said, and then she walked behind Bo Muxi and gently kneaded his shoulders.

Only then did Bo Muxi realize that he had stayed in Zhengfu Palace today.

While Hu Cairen was massaging Bo Muxi's shoulders, she was thinking about another thing in her mind. She wanted to use tonight to serve the emperor well and also take the opportunity to give Shen Zhiyao a good "eye drop"!
