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

In Fengyi Palace, Bo Muxi was leisurely drinking tea and chatting with the Queen. Although the Queen was his wife in name, they were currently more like close business partners. Bo Muxi trusted the Queen very much and there were many things that could not be told to outsiders, but he could discuss them with the Queen.

"My queen mother is good at making amends. She found a way out for the old Concubine Zhang Wang on the spot. She made a blatant test and tried to downplay it as someone who said the wrong thing in a hurry. It's hard for me to pursue it any further." Bo Muxi sneered. No matter how hot the tea was at this moment, it couldn't warm his heart that was always being schemed against by his biological mother. After all, Queen Mother Zhao regarded the Zhao family as more important than her own son.

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. Your mother is getting older, and she will figure things out one day." The queen comforted him softly. She understood the emperor's concerns best, and it was not appropriate to comment too much on the entanglement between mother and son. Bo Muxi had always been narrow-minded, and as an outsider, it would be better for her to avoid getting into trouble.

Last year, a concubine who thought she was smart enough put the Queen Mother Zhao in the emperor's favor. Bo Muxi didn't say anything at the time, but just smiled and fooled her. But a month later, this concubine was sent to a nunnery to practice Buddhism on the pretext of something.

As the saying goes, "serving the emperor is like serving a tiger." When serving the emperor, you should avoid using common sense to speculate on his thoughts. Whether you guess wrong or right, you may bring disaster upon yourself.

From this perspective, Shen Cairen is a truly smart person. From beginning to end, she never mentioned Queen Mother Zhao or the Zhao family, but she mentioned everything that should be mentioned.

"Mother, despite all her planning, couldn't guard against Concubine Shen. How dare she disrespect the clan members in public? Even though she was targeting the old concubine, the Zhao family must have been completely embarrassed." Bo Muxi laughed, looking like he was gloating.

The Queen refused to be fooled and changed the subject, saying, "I heard that after the old Concubine Dowager Zhang returned to her mansion, she became ill and bedridden."

The Queen also seemed to be gloating, but she was only targeting the old Queen Mother Zhang and Prince Xiang.

Bo Muxi curled the corners of his lips. After all, the queen was very smart and could always withstand his temptation and probing. Therefore, it was difficult for him to completely dislike the queen. After all, he still had some fantasies about her from time to time.

After this warning, Prince Xiang has become much more low-key. He even submitted a memorial this morning, pleading for mercy for his mother, and at the same time, he has begun to actively show his loyalty to himself.

Bo Muxi still pretended to ignore Prince Xiang. Since he was the chicken to be killed to scare the monkeys, he would naturally bleed for a while. Not all remedies would be appreciated by Bo Muxi. As the saying goes, belated affection is worse than dog's.

Bo Muxi planned to start reducing the power of Prince Xiang in a logical way, and to torture him by putting him on the fire all the time.

“I heard that Zhao Wanyi knelt in Yuquan Palace for an hour this morning. She became more and more dizzy as she walked.” The queen stopped talking halfway.

"It's not the first day that the Queen has known that she is not smart and I don't like her." Bo Muxi said with a smile.

"Empress, in the past two years, certain royal relatives and families have been very rampant. They have been moving step by step, trying to gradually seize fiefdoms and other benefits from us. This time, we must let them know what is right and wrong and know when to advance and retreat." Bo Muxi's words were sonorous and powerful, and every word revealed his disgust for this group of greedy ministers.

Any of the emperor's concubines, even if she is just a beauty, can criticize the clan members' rude behavior at any time. The royal dignity cannot be violated, and they should understand the difference between superiors and inferiors.

"Your Majesty, we have survived those difficult days. It is only a matter of time before we deal with them," the Queen consoled him. Now that some forces are still supported by Queen Mother Zhao, they have to take a long-term view.

"What the queen said is true. I remind myself all the time not to be impatient." The emperor was also worried that impatient behavior might bring disaster. The imperial power was not stable at the moment. They were warning others in order to win more people over, not to make enemies.

"Queen, I always feel lucky to have you by my side. Although I seldom stay at your place, you are always in my heart. You are the only one who understands me the most." Bo Muxi's handsome face is full of tenderness, and his eyes are deep when he expresses his tenderness, which is indeed difficult for ordinary people to resist.

When it came to emotions, Bo Muxi gently held the queen's hands to test her feelings.

The queen, however, felt uninterested. The love she wanted was unparalleled in the world, but what the emperor could give her was just false flattery. Compared to being a fake couple with the emperor, the queen preferred to be his honest partner. Even if they only had sex a few times a month, she only regarded it as a cooperation to produce royal offspring.

The queen withdrew her hand unnoticeably and looked at the emperor with a smile, her eyebrows slightly raised, revealing her noble and proud temperament.

Then he gently advised: "Your Majesty should go and see Shen Cairen. That girl is worthy of important positions."

Although Bo Muxi was turned down by the Queen, he did not feel annoyed at all, and was even surprisingly relaxed. He and the Queen should use each other in such a frank way.

"The Queen is very considerate. I feel relieved to leave the harem to her."

After saying this, Bo Muxi left with a smile.

Shen Zhiyao was studying a new hairstyle when the emperor came to Cuiweixuan without prior notice.

Bo Muxi saw that her hair was spread out beautifully, with long black hair hanging straight down, which had a unique charm.

After Shen Zhiyao paid her respects to Bo Muxi, she looked at him with a reproachful look, as if she was very angry. It was rare for a concubine to dare to lose her temper with the emperor so blatantly, which aroused Bo Muxi's interest.

"Why are you angry, my beloved? I have promoted you according to your idea, but you are unhappy?" Bo Muxi teased her with interest.

"Your Majesty, I am naturally happy that you have promoted me. But you also promoted Concubine Zhao to Wanyi. I was only promoted half a level, but she was promoted directly to one level, surpassing me! Your Majesty knew that she was deliberately targeting me everywhere, but he still thought about her! It can be seen that I am not special in your heart!" Shen Zhiyao's expression was full of grievance, but her tone was sweet and cheerful.

It was the first time that the emperor saw someone who could express two emotions vividly at the same time without any sense of incongruity. He even found it interesting, and the distress in his heart seemed to disappear without a trace in this joke.

Bo Muxi smiled and put his arm around Shen Zhiyao's waist, saying gently, "Then what should I do to satisfy my beloved concubine?"

Naturally, no woman in the palace could tell the emperor what to do. What Bo Muxi said was naturally just a false test. He had set a trap for Shen Zhiyao, just to see whether this little concubine would fall into it and whether she was stupid or not.

Shen Zhiyao naturally didn't understand what he said, she pretended to be angry and said: "Your Majesty, you have to promise me that if Zhao Wanyi still deliberately embarrasses me in the future, Your Majesty will have to make the decision for me. If necessary, Your Majesty will have to punish her seriously!"

"Well, okay, I promise my beloved." Bo Muxi smiled like a cunning fox.

"Hmph, the emperor always deceives me." Shen Zhiyao sighed.

"My beloved concubine is really too angry. You say that others bully you, but in my opinion, the old concubine is so angry with you that she is bedridden, and Zhao Wanyi is so abused by you that she can't even raise her head." Qi Yixiu laughed.

"Some people are angry because they try to steal a chicken but end up losing the rice. They want to frame me, but they don't have the ability, so they are angry. Their intentions are bad. I am angry because I am always framed by others. I have never thought of harming others. This is fundamentally different." Shen looked at Bo Muxi and expressed his dissatisfaction and helplessness in a serious manner.

This is the truth, and Bo Muxi naturally knows it.

Bo Muxi teased him deliberately: "These people are ignorant. So, my beloved concubine, how do you plan to deal with them next?"

Shen Zhiyao only glanced at Bo Muxi and said, "Your Majesty is too bad. I will not be fooled."

Bo Muxi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? What's wrong with me?"

Shen Zhiyao said seriously: "Your Majesty likes to watch me fight with them, but you just watch from the sidelines for fun."

What is said as a joke is often the truth. Bo Muxi laughed, but his eyes were different from his smile, and they flashed with a cold light. Wen Sheng said, "Then my beloved concubine, are you planning to retire and stop entertaining me?"
