Time Travel: The actress's acting skills exploded, and she was favored by the harem
Chapter 22: Talented Person
The two hugged each other for a long time before Bo Muxi let go of Shen Zhiyao. He looked at her carefully several times and the woman had changed again.
During the day, Bo Muxi always couldn't help but think of Shen Zhiyao's fierce look when she accused the old Concubine Dowager Zhang Wang. She was like a beautiful peacock, beautiful and luxurious, bright and flamboyant.
At night, she turned into a pure and plain look again, standing in front of him pitifully, properly restoring her true girlish nature. Even without a plain face, she was still pretty and beautiful.
Bo Muxi thought about it carefully. It seemed that no matter how Shen Zhiyao dressed, she looked very beautiful. It was as if every detail of her looked just right for his taste, making it hard for him not to like her.
"Okay, I won't blame you or punish you this time, but you must know your limits in the future and not act too recklessly." Bo Muxi gently scratched her nose and said with a smile.
The emperor's words cannot be fully believed. On the surface, Bo Muxi seems to be asking Shen Zhiyao to be more restrained in her words and deeds and to know when to stop. But in fact, if Shen Zhiyao really listens to him and abides by the etiquette like other concubines, Bo Muxi will most likely dislike her.
The emperor's mind is indeed difficult to guess, and it is no wonder that the concubines in the palace are easily disliked. Which of his words should be listened to and which should be listened to oppositely are all quite difficult to understand.
The emperor was afraid that no one would understand his feelings, and also afraid that his feelings would be too easily guessed. Bo Muxi had been abandoned by his father, plotted against by his mother, and persecuted by his brothers and sisters. Now, as the emperor of Zhao State, he ruled the world, but he was still lonely to the point of suffocation.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. You are so kind to me. I feel very happy..." Shen Zhiyao smiled sweetly, making the emperor feel like he was in spring breeze.
Bo Muxi is now very interested in Shen Zhiyao. He doesn't like people who are too cold and wooden, nor does he like people who are too proactive and frivolous. Shen Zhiyao's timing is just right and very much to his liking.
The emperor said that he would not punish Shen Zhiyao, but that night, he "punished" Shen Zhiyao so hard that her back and waist ached. Afterwards, he hugged the concubine's trembling body in satisfaction.
"My beloved, I want to reward you again. What do you want this time?" Bo Muxi ignored Shen Zhiyao who was extremely sleepy and spoke to himself.
Shen Zhiyao couldn't help but complain, what's wrong with this emperor? Why does he always like to reward her at times like this? It must be that this emperor lacks love in his heart and doesn't know how to express his feelings, only gold coins.
Shen Zhiyao was so sleepy, but he disturbed her so much that she couldn't fall asleep. She could only pretend to be happy and perfunctorily said, "Can I have anything you want?"
Bo Muxi kissed her forehead and said softly, "Of course."
Shen Zhiyao said dazedly: "If I want to be promoted, will the emperor agree?"
The emperor had never met a concubine who dared to ask for a promotion in person. He was stunned for a while and just when he wanted to ask for more clarification, Shen Zhiyao fell asleep while hugging the emperor...
The next day, Shen Zhiyao had long forgotten the request for promotion she had made to the emperor the night before. After serving the emperor in court, she rushed to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects. The empress usually did not care about trivial matters, but she did not completely ignore them.
According to Shen Zhiyao's observation, the Queen would remember all those who took advantage of her favor and became arrogant, often asking for leave without reason and failing to pay their respects to the Queen. There would always be a day for them to pay them back, and the Queen had been keeping the blame. Shen Zhiyao did not want to be on the Queen's blacklist.
"Oh, Concubine Shen is young after all, and in good health. She always pays her respects on time after serving the emperor. Concubine Shen was really sharp-tongued yesterday, and she boosted the morale of the concubines in our palace. Unlike someone else, she seemed to be communicating with outsiders." Concubine Lu laughed, obviously teasing Concubine Zhao.
Shen Zhiyao smiled and greeted everyone before saying, "I am a concubine who has received the grace of the Emperor and the Empress, so I will naturally not side with outsiders."
Concubine Zhao sat there, not daring to breathe, her face had turned the color of liver from anger. In fact, she had been ridiculed and mocked by everyone for a long time before Shen Zhiyao came, but Concubine Zhao still had no reaction to it, she just stopped mocking her.
At this point, everyone just thinks that Concubine Zhao is a mere figurehead. She looks fancy but is actually useless. Being labeled like this, everyone is particularly rude to her.
Soon, the greeting process was over and everyone went back in groups of three or four.
In front of Yuquan Palace, Concubine Zhao was sitting in the imperial sedan chair returning from Fengyi Palace after paying respects. She had just chatted with others on the way, and a little later, she saw Concubine Zhao kneeling in front of the palace with a pious look.
She frowned in disdain, without even looking at her, and went in holding Dai Tao's hand, leaving only her back to Concubine Zhao.
Seeing that their masters did not express their opinions, the palace maids and eunuchs pretended not to have seen Concubine Zhao and ignored her.
Although Lady Zhao felt extremely humiliated, she had no choice but to seek refuge with this relative. After a few days, she had a clear understanding of her situation. Although she was a lady, she had no foundation and was bullied everywhere. Now she did not ask for anything else but to live a better life.
The emperor showed his favor to her, but his favor was only superficial, and she couldn't even control the lower-ranking concubines.
Concubine Zhao left her alone for a long time, and finally felt that she had knelt for enough time, so she ordered Dai Tao to call her into the palace.
Only then did Imperial Concubine Zhao officially accept Concubine Zhao into her camp. Although she looked down on Concubine Zhao, she was still a relative after all. Her aunt had also specifically advised her about this. Moreover, there was also the relationship with Zhao Qing. In short, Concubine Zhao was still of some use to her.
To the surprise of the harem, at noon, an imperial decree was suddenly issued, promoting Concubine Zhao to Zhao Wanyi, and Concubine Shen to Shen Cairen. These two were important characters with different positions in yesterday's banquet, and now they were promoted together, which was very intriguing.
Shen Zhiyao's promotion was within everyone's expectations, but Zhao Guiren's promotion left everyone in the harem puzzled.
Originally, in everyone's mind, Concubine Zhao was already a clown-like existence. There were many concubines in the palace who had been in the palace for a long time and had rich experience. It was extremely difficult for them to get promoted. However, Concubine Zhao was conferred the title of Concubine as soon as she entered the palace. Not even a few days later, she was promoted to Wanyi.
Now no one could understand the emperor's thoughts.
When the news reached Cuiweixuan, Qiuyue and the others were very happy at first, but then they became indignant and said, "Master, what virtue and ability does Zhao Wanyi have? Is this how she can please the emperor? How can she be promoted together with the master? It's really unlucky!"
Shen Zhiyao smiled and said, "Even you think she is immoral and incompetent, what will the other concubines in the palace think? Isn't this Zhao Wanyi a beauty?"
Qiuyue curled her lips in disdain and said, "I think she is just average, far inferior to you, my master."
This time, Shen Zhiyao just smiled and said nothing.
Zhao Wanyi was promoted so quickly, and her virtue was not worthy of the position. It seemed that the emperor could not bear to see her have an easy life. It would be a good thing for Shen Zhiyao to be promoted together with him. If she stood in front of him, she would become a living target.
Perhaps, the emperor wanted to appease Queen Mother Zhao. No matter why, Shen Zhiyao did not want to get involved in this matter this time. It would be better if he did not serve as a tool.
