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

Inside Prince Rui's mansion, Prince Rui, Prince Xiang and Prime Minister Hu were sitting in the hall, listening to the eunuch Qiu Cang reporting the news he had gathered in vivid detail.

"Master, after Lord Chen Ang came out of the palace, he got drunk every night with some old acquaintances, and talked nonsense when drunk. Yesterday, Lord Yang pretended to chat with him, and Lord Chen's words implied that he had some leverage in his hands and wanted to get close to us..."

"Do you think Chen Ang is reliable?" Prince Rui turned and asked Prince Xiang.

"Hehe, brother prince, you are aware of the temper of the current emperor. He will ignore everything when he gets angry. I heard that Jin Shuyi added fuel to the fire in court, and the emperor was so angry that he dismissed Chen Ang from his post. Chen Ang was a man who served the late emperor wholeheartedly! He should know some incredible things!" Prince Xiang smiled flatteringly.

"Hmph! The fourth brother has always been stubborn and self-righteous, and the women around him are also immoral!" Prince Rui's face was full of contempt.

"I think it's better to be careful. Is Chen Ang really coming to us for surrender? Or... we should not take it lightly." Prime Minister Hu said worriedly.

“Well, of course we have to be careful. In the next few days, I will send more people to test him. If he is sincere in surrendering, we will accept him in. He will be of great use in the future... If it is a trick, hehe..." Prince Rui smiled viciously.

I guess what was not said couldn't be anything good, and it made the two of them feel cold all over.

"Master, there is one more thing. The spies in the palace have sent a message that there is indeed something wrong with Lu Wanyi..." Qiu Cang bowed and said.

"Oh? Tell me about it quickly!" Prince Rui's eyes flashed with a fierce light like a hungry wolf.

"Bao Luan, the eunuch in charge of Concubine Zhao's Yuquan Palace, would occasionally sneak into Lu Wanyi's Qingyuexuan in the middle of the night. There must be something going on here..." Qiu Cang said.

“Hahahahahaha…” Prince Rui laughed wildly when he heard that, his triangular eyes were full of obscenity.

"Brother Prince, could it be that a eunuch and a concubine are having an affair? This would be a huge scandal in the palace..." The Prince of Xiang laughed with glee.

"I wonder what could possibly happen between a eunuch and a concubine? After all, Lu Wanyi is the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, and her family tradition is very strict. I'm afraid there must be something else going on here..."

Prime Minister Hu couldn't stand their obscene appearance and suggested in a cold voice.

"It's none of our business! Qiu Cang!" Prince Rui turned around and said, "Go to the palace in person and tell Concubine Hu the news. Tell her it's a gift from me. It's up to her what she wants to do!"

After Prince Rui finished speaking, he looked at Prime Minister Hu with a sly smile, and the latter had no choice but to shut up...

The next afternoon, as usual, Bo Muxi was reviewing memorials in the imperial study, with Lin En serving him.

Eunuch An came in with small backward steps and bowed, "Your Majesty, Lady Hu is here."

Bo Muxi paused while writing, frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Eunuch An knew that the emperor did not like others to disturb him without reason, but Lady Hu was also a favored lady, so he could only try to explain: "I saw her servants holding food boxes in their hands, so they must be here to deliver food."

Of course, it was just an excuse. Bo Muxi hadn't been to Zhengfu Palace for many days. This guy must have come to ask for favor.

Bo Muxi thought for a long time and said coldly, "Bring him in."

"Yes..." Eunuch An responded, then turned around and went out to lead the people. Along the way, he was still thinking that the emperor really favored Jin Shuyi more, but he had never seen the emperor be so impatient when Jin Shuyi came.

Bo Muxi wanted to lower his head and continue reviewing the memorials, but after thinking for a while, he frowned and said, "Lin'en, collect the memorials on the table and bring me the book 'Political Commentary'."

"Yes." Lin En hurriedly asked someone to collect the memorials. He thought to himself, if Jin Shuyi had come, the emperor might have asked her to serve him with writing materials. But Hu Cairen came and asked him to collect the memorials. It was really...

Bo Muxi treated the favored concubines all the same, but the rules in his heart were very clear and distinct.

A fragrant breeze blew over, and Lady Hu walked leisurely into the imperial study. Eunuch An followed behind her with his head down, carrying an exquisite food box.

Lin En stared at the emperor's face. From the moment Hu Cairen came in, his face instantly changed into a gentle smile, without any sign of impatience.

"My beloved concubine, have you come to see me specially? Is there something wrong?" Bo Muxi asked with a smile, holding a book in his hand.

"Can't you come to see the emperor if you have nothing to do?" Hu Cairen raised her head and smiled: "I have been learning to make cakes these days. The hawthorn cake I made this time has a unique taste. I specially brought it to the emperor to taste, so that you can change your mind and don't work too hard."

Eunuch An tactfully placed the food box on the table and opened it carefully. Immediately, the unique sweet and sour aroma of hawthorn wafted out.

"Well, my beloved concubine, your cooking skills have really improved. I still remember how embarrassed you were when you tried it for the first time..." Bo Muxi said with a smile.

"Your Majesty...you really are, why do you always remember this matter..." Hu Cairen was extremely embarrassed.

"I was just joking with you. My beloved concubine has become even more powerful now. I have to taste her."

As Bo Muxi spoke, he gestured to Lin'en to serve him some pastries.

Hu Cairen quickly took the item from Lin En's hand and said with a smile: "Since I am here, I should serve the emperor well, so I won't bother you, Eunuch Lin En."

As he spoke, he carefully divided a piece and fed it into Bo Muxi's mouth.

The emperor looked happy with the meal, but he was thinking in his heart that this woman was usually a patient person, and that she had come all the way to Changdeok Palace specifically for her was not just a bid for his favor.

"Is it delicious?" Hu Cairen looked at Bo Muxi hopefully, and her shy daughter's attitude was pleasing to the eye.

"It's delicious. Your cooking skills are better than those of the imperial chef in my imperial kitchen." Bo Muxi praised politely.

Lin En brought the tea over, and the two of them ate and joked, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

"If my beloved concubine is really alright, then I will be busy with official duties."

Seeing that she was still not getting to the point, Bo Muxi pretended to push her harder and acted as if he was sending her away.

"It's not that I'm completely fine, it's just... it's hard to explain..." Hu Cairen looked embarrassed, and it was obvious that it was really difficult for him to speak.

"My beloved, just tell me. Nothing is difficult for me. But has anyone bullied you?" Bo Muxi asked softly.

"Thank you very much for your concern, Your Majesty." Lady Hu seemed very touched. She looked at Bo Muxi with touched eyes and said, "The sisters in the palace are very kind to me. This is not my own business. Logically, I should not interfere. But... I can't bear to see the emperor being kept in the dark. I am even more afraid..."

Only then did Bo Muxi realize the seriousness of the problem and said sternly, "My beloved concubine, please feel free to speak."

"But... no matter what, please believe me, Your Majesty, I have no selfish motives. My sincerity is all for Your Majesty's consideration..." When Lady Hu was moved, her eyes were full of tears.

"Of course I understand my beloved concubine's intentions. Didn't I say that my beloved concubine and I are in tune with each other? If there is anything, you should tell me."

Bo Muxi coaxed her patiently. It seemed that what Concubine Hu wanted to say was really a big deal!
