Time Travel: The actress's acting skills exploded, and she was favored by the harem
Chapter 21 Dancing on the Edge of a Knife
After nightfall, Shen Zhiyao was woken up by Qiuyue, who said happily, "My Lord, Eunuch Lin En just sent a message that the Emperor will come to Cuiweixuan tonight and will probably stay here. Your Majesty, please get up and dress up!"
Qiuyue was really impressed that even though her master had contradicted the old princess during the day, the emperor was not angry at all. Instead, he turned over Shen Zhiyao's sign.
In the harem, the concubines felt mixed emotions after hearing the news.
Shen Zhiyao argued with the old Queen Dowager Zhang in Changde Palace during the day, and she became famous in one battle! Everyone became her background. From now on, no one in the harem dared to bully her.
Everyone was envious and jealous, but no one dared to imitate Shen Zhiyao's behavior easily.
Shen Zhiyao's success stems from her great courage and bravery, her family background as a general, and her own abilities.
It's like dancing on the edge of a knife, with success or failure hanging on a single thought, and perhaps a bit of metaphysics involved.
Shen Zhiyao immediately got up and prepared. She deliberately put on light makeup, only painting her lips to make them look particularly delicate and tempting. She changed into a lychee-colored skirt and covered herself with a layer of white moon-colored gauze.
A simple and elegant hairpin was pinned on the high bun, and it was embellished with a few pearls.
She was going for a fresh and elegant style at the moment, and she thoughtfully used the most natural and thinnest foundation, which fully revealed the delicate jade-like texture of her young skin. The slight blush on her cheeks made her look more playful and delicate. She looked fresh and natural, completely devoid of the noble look she had during the day.
After cleaning up, she still waited early at the door of Cuiweixuan to welcome the emperor. Bo Muxi felt happy when he looked at her from afar. The little concubine was at the age of a flower. Bo Muxi even felt that she was born to live freely.
"Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you. Long live the Emperor." Shen Zhiyao bowed and greeted him, lowering her brows and looking very well-behaved.
If the emperor had not seen her powerful appearance during the day, he would probably have really thought that she was gentle and well-behaved. This strong contrast made Bo Muxi like her even more, and at this moment, he liked everything about her.
"You are good at pretending to be a good boy, but where is your fierceness this morning? I sent you back to the palace. Have you ever seriously reflected on it?" Bo Muxi pretended to be angry, but the tenderness in his eyes betrayed his true emotions. Perhaps he was unwilling to hide it deliberately.
Shen Zhiyao had slept in the palace for a whole afternoon, so how could she have time to reflect on her mistakes? But she still pretended to be well-behaved, walked briskly to the emperor's side, and said softly: "I have seriously reflected on my mistakes in the palace for an afternoon. I feel that I have done nothing wrong. If the emperor insists that I admit my mistakes, then I only admit one mistake, which is that I shouldn't have angered the emperor. Other than that, I feel that I have done nothing wrong."
Bo Muxi's eyebrows relaxed a little, but he still pretended to be angry and said, "At the family banquet, in front of so many clan members, you contradicted the elders. I couldn't stop you, and you still dared to say that you didn't do anything wrong?"
When Shen Zhiyao heard this, tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She looked at the emperor with eyes full of grievance, like an innocent little deer.
There was a faint tremor in her voice as she explained, "My words were a bit harsh, but I never meant to recklessly contradict my elders. I also don't think it's wrong to defend my husband, who is the emperor. Those royal relatives are too nosy. I feel sorry for the emperor and the queen..."
Shen Zhiyao's tone at this moment was full of sincere emotion, and she seemed to really feel sorry for the emperor's forbearance and helplessness.
"You're making farfetched arguments." Bo Muxi pretended to be angry, but there was no criticism in his tone.
"I have finally got the chance to be alone with Your Majesty, please don't scold me anymore... At most, I will admit my mistake, it's all my fault... Please forgive me, Your Majesty..." Shen Zhiyao actually started to act like a spoiled child by hugging the emperor's arm.
Bo Muxi smiled. On the way to Cuiweixuan just now, he had imagined all kinds of Shen Zhiyao's behaviors, but he really didn't expect that she would act so coquettishly.
The sense of satisfaction in Bo Muxi's heart instantly exploded, and it was even more satisfying than hunting high-quality prey.
It's like a pretty little leopard that would show its fangs and claws in front of others, but would become a well-behaved little cat when it comes to herself in private. This sense of contrast really satisfies the emperor's desire for conquest as an ordinary man.
In comparison, although the queen is also an outstanding woman with both beauty and wisdom, she is different from Shen Zhiyao.
The queen is powerful in front of outsiders, but she is cold-hearted when facing the emperor in private.
Bo Muxi could not deny that he had truly admired the queen, but he also could not stand her being too cold and noble. The existence of Shen Zhiyao made up for the regret hidden deep in Bo Muxi's heart.
Bo Muxi cleared his throat twice, as if to remind himself not to get too carried away. He was always like this. When faced with things that might make him indulge, he would actively avoid them.
"Why do I feel that although you admit your mistake, my beloved concubine, you are not convinced in your heart?" Bo Muxi teased her with a smile.
Shen Zhiyao's pink face fell instantly, and she said angrily: "Your Majesty, please stop making things difficult for me! Your Majesty no longer loves me, I feel so uncomfortable!"
Bo Muxi continued to tease in a rare good mood: "With such great abilities, you also feel uncomfortable?"
Shen Zhiyao said sincerely: "Your Majesty, no matter how brave I am, I am still very afraid of losing you! Your Majesty, what I want has always been very simple. All I want in my life is your favor..."
Bo Muxi couldn't help but look at her carefully for a few times. This expression certainly didn't look like she was acting.
The emperor's ego instantly exploded. In this harem, his favor was indeed the most cherished thing by the concubines, and Shen Zhiyao made him even more satisfied.
Bo Muxi couldn't help but think of the morning in Changde Palace when Shen Zhiyao turned the tide and angrily scolded the old Queen Dowager of Prince Zhang. She looked fierce, but very charming...
Bo Muxi suddenly felt very fortunate that Shen Zhiyao did not give in at that time. If that were the case, he would definitely start to dislike her, just like he had disliked others countless times before.
Although Bo Muxi is an emperor, he is also a normal man and wants to have a soul mate.
But he is picky, mean, and disgusting... Maybe at some moment, he will start to dislike a woman for some inexplicable reasons.
Before this, Bo Muxi had believed that he would never be able to truly experience the taste of love in his life. Even the queen, who once made him very moved, was eventually rejected by him, which made him feel desperate.
But now, Shen Zhiyao seemed to be growing and transforming into his ideal image, and some impossible things seemed to have miraculously become possible from then on.
As Bo Muxi thought about it, he took Shen Zhiyao into his arms and caressed her gently. Shen Zhiyao seemed to understand what he needed very well and tacitly stopped talking.
This was the first time that Bo Muxi felt a sense of empathy, and he subconsciously hugged Shen Zhiyao tighter, thinking to himself, "Shen Zhiyao, the more expectations you give me, the more dangerous it is. I only hope that you can always do the right thing. If you dare to make me despair after having hope, you will be more miserable than any concubine I have ever hated!"
