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

"Your Majesty, is my massage comfortable?" Hu Cairen asked softly.

"Well, my beloved concubine has an excellent technique. It makes me feel very relaxed." Bo Muxi closed his eyes and the sound that seemed to come out of his nose must be really comfortable.

Hu Cairen continued to massage for a while, then moved her hands from her shoulders to her head. She placed her delicate lips on Bo Muxi's ear and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Sister Shen has been released from her confinement. I am so happy for her."

Upon hearing this, Bo Muxi slowly opened his eyes, but did not react much. He asked with a smile, "Oh? When did the relationship between my beloved concubine and Jin Shuyi become so good?"

"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, ever since I entered the palace, I have always wanted to make friends with Empress Jin Shuyi. However, she seems to have a prejudice against me..." Hu Cairen's voice was full of grievance, and there was even a hint of crying in it.

"Have my beloved concubine been wronged? Tell me in detail." Bo Muxi's tone seemed to imply that he wanted to support Concubine Hu.

Hu Cairen laughed secretly in her heart, turned around, and nestled into Bo Muxi's arms. She told him in a coquettish tone about how she had kindly invited Shen Zhiyao to discuss makeup and dressing techniques that day, but was humiliated in public and ridiculed.

After listening to this, Bo Muxi thought: This is really something that little concubine would do.

He gently touched Hu Cairen's red lips and comforted her softly, "If my beloved concubine wants to learn these, I will find someone to discuss them with you later. Jin Shuyi's methods may not be applicable."

"Your Majesty, of course I don't want to learn those things. I mainly want to be closer to Jin Shuyi... Besides, some rumors have started to arise in the palace recently..." Hu Cairen observed Bo Muxi's expression and whispered.

"What kind of rumor is it? Tell me, my beloved." Bo Muxi was obviously very interested.

"It is said that Empress Jin Shuyi has been in the palace for two years and is favored, but she has not given birth to a child. I'm afraid it's not..." Concubine Hu paused and did not dare to continue.

"What are you afraid of?" Bo Muxi asked with a smile, not showing any anger at all.

"These people insist that Empress Jin Shuyi has health problems and cannot give birth to children, but she is still favored by the emperor and is living up to... the emperor's great favor..." After saying this, Concubine Hu nestled back into the emperor's arms.

Bo Muxi slowly put her back on the couch, stood up with his hands behind his back, frowned and said: "You know, you have your advantages, and she has her strengths..."

The emperor, who was so affectionate just now, seemed to have suddenly changed his expression...

Hu Cairen quickly stood up, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Next time I will never tell you such groundless rumors again."

In fact, Bo Muxi had heard this rumor a long time ago, but he always hated this kind of rumors that were fabricated just for the purpose of framing others.

For a while, Bo Muxi had doubts, so he asked the imperial physician to examine Shen Zhiyao's body in detail under the guise of a routine check-up.

But the result was that the woman didn't even have a cold uterus problem and was in excellent health.

Bo Muxi stared coldly at Hu Cairen who was kneeling on the ground, and after a while he said, "I advise you, it's okay, don't make trouble with Jin Shuyi."

Hu Cairen felt as if cold water had been poured on her heart after hearing this. The chill rushed from her heart to her brain, causing her face to turn pale instantly. She lowered her head and said, "I understand."

Bo Muxi's expression eased a little, and he personally helped her up: "My beloved concubine has just entered the palace not long ago. You know little about the things here, which is understandable. The queen has always respected etiquette and kept a certain distance from everyone. She only likes to get close to a few people, and Jin Shuyi is one of them."

Hu Cairen's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Your Majesty, please just treat me as someone who was ignorant before. All the things that happened before are over. I will never make the same mistake again in the future. Please give me a chance!"

She seemed to understand Bo Muxi's thoughts a little, and was afraid that she would be disliked as well, so she humbled herself and apologized and begged for mercy, knowing that the emperor would be more receptive to this.

Hearing this, Bo Muxi finally felt better. He didn't want this woman who looked so much like Qin Man to be "eliminated" so easily. It would be useful for this woman to erase the regret in his heart.

Moreover, Hu Cairen's attitude of admitting her mistakes frankly and without making excuses really made Bo Muxi look at her with a higher regard.

"Okay, since my beloved concubine has said so, I will pretend that what happened before never happened. Your father has worked hard for my country, and since he entrusted you to me, I should protect you. However, this harem is not like an ordinary family, and there are many etiquettes. It would be best if my beloved concubine could try to avoid some risks on her own."

Bo Muxi almost said, "Don't rely on my favor and always cause trouble for me. I will get annoyed too," and something like that.

In Bo Muxi's mind, he was already treating Concubine Hu very seriously, as he could do so much, personally remind her of the situation in the palace, and easily turn the page on her inappropriate behavior.

"I understand your Majesty's good intentions. Thank you very much." Lady Hu bowed to express her gratitude.

“As for Jin Shuyi…” Bo Muxi chuckled.

"My dear concubine, you might as well ask more about it. How many people who have provoked her have ever gained the upper hand? However, although she is powerful, she is reasonable and moral. She just refuses to suffer any loss. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke her, she won't cause trouble for you." Bo Muxi looked at her and said seriously.

Hu Cairen's heart started beating wildly when she heard this, and she couldn't help but glance at Bo Muxi several times. It seemed that the emperor really treated Jin Shuyi differently, and was not as unloving as she had thought.

"I remember this. I admit that I am indeed jealous of Jin Shuyi's favor from the Emperor. I can also feel that you have a special feeling for her, so I feel jealous... I will be careful in the future and not deliberately cause trouble for Jin Shuyi..."

Upon hearing this, Bo Muxi raised his eyebrows and looked at Hu Cairen, thinking that she could be so frank, which was indeed her strength.

"Okay, my beloved, please stop blaming yourself. I understand you." Bo Muxi thought of Qin Man again. That woman was also so frank.

He helped Hu Cairen to the couch, but he felt sad and lonely.

"Your Majesty, I really love you..." Hu Cairen caught the loneliness that flashed across his eyes, and she hugged the emperor tightly to express her admiration.

"I know..." Bo Muxi gently stroked Hu Cairen's soft long hair with his slender fingers.

Hu Cairen felt very comfortable with the cool fingers. She couldn't help but close her eyes. She felt that the next step would be a natural progression and something passionate would happen...

But Bo Muxi withdrew his hand, stood up and said, "My beloved concubine, I suddenly remembered that I have something important to do tonight, so I will not stay here."

After the emperor finished speaking, he turned and left without even giving Hu Cairen a chance to persuade him to stay.

Only Hu Cairen was left alone on the couch, staring blankly...
