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

Shen Zhiyao looked directly into the emperor's cold eyes, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be too happy too soon. I am not a punching bag, nor am I a white lotus. Whether it's Zhao Wanyi or the old concubine, whoever dares to trick me, I will dig a pit for them. Let them try. If you dare to mess with me, you will only suffer."

"Look how powerful you are!" Bo Muxi really didn't expect her to answer like this. He immediately tapped her nose, and the cold light in his eyes gradually disappeared.

Bo Muxi followed the unfavored Queen Mother Zhao since he was a child. He suffered all kinds of bullying and conspiracy along the way and climbed to his current position with great difficulty. What kind of ugliness in the palace has he not witnessed?

Bo Muxi has always looked down on those concubines who are both powerful and insolent. What noble qualities do they display in front of him? What dirty tricks have they not used in private?

Bo Muxi always treated the self-righteous women in the harem who tried their best to play tricks in front of him as monkey shows. When he was in the mood, he couldn't help but cooperate with them.

This was the first time that Bo Muxi had met such a frank woman, so Shen Zhiyao made Bo Muxi admire her even more.

Of course, Shen Zhiyao only didn't pretend in front of Bo Muxi. She pretended a lot in front of others.

Bo Muxi hated Dodder who only depended on him. Deep down, he hoped that she could walk side by side with him, but she couldn't be as cold and wooden as the queen.

To be honest, there is no shortage of beauties in the harem, but so far, the only one whose personality meets Bo Muxi's expectations is Shen Zhiyao.

Bo Muxi didn't care whether Shen Zhiyao's performance in front of him was real or acting. Even if it was acting, it didn't matter. As long as her acting was good enough, the emperor was willing to accompany her.

"My beloved concubine, your character is deeply pleasing to me. In my opinion, I should grant you a title that matches you. What do you think?" Bo Muxi said with a smile. There was indeed some sincerity in his words.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has not granted any title to any concubine. The first title granted is of great significance to Bo Muxi, and he does not want to give it to a stupid person. Of course, as long as he is the first one to be granted, he can give it to others.

Shen Zhiyao had specialized in studying the emperor's mood and preferences, so she naturally understood him.

"If the emperor could award me a title, I would certainly be happy." She leaned closer to the emperor's arms and whispered coquettishly in his ear.

Shen Zhiyao was delighted on the surface, but she was complaining in her heart. Did this evil-minded emperor think that she was not prominent enough? Was he still trying to attract hatred for her?

It would be fine if she was just the first concubine to be given a title, but the key was that her position was relatively low. A talented person was only a sixth-rank concubine. If she surpassed several high-ranking concubines and became the first to receive the title, all the women in the harem would be jealous of her.

Especially for the petty-minded Concubine Zhao, from now on, they will really have to fight to the death. Shen Zhiyao even feels that the emperor did it on purpose.

In the harem, being favored by the emperor is naturally a great thing, but being favored too much can backfire and may lead to disaster. Shen Zhiyao really doesn't want to be the first to do so.

But if she did not accept the emperor's reward openly, she would be despised by Bo Muxi and would never have the chance to be favored again.

No matter how upset she was inside, she had to pretend to be happy on the surface. She was even bolder and took the initiative to hug Bo Muxi's waist for the first time.

Bo Muxi's eyes flickered in the night. Shen Zhiyao was indeed a rare smart woman. No wonder even the queen cared about her.

"My beloved, tell me, what kind of image do you have of the Queen?" Bo Muxi spoke affectionately and in a calm tone, as if he wanted to chat with her about family matters.

"In my heart, the Empress has an extraordinary temperament, noble character, and is graceful and generous. In short, she is incomparable to most worldly women." Shen Zhiyao answered sincerely. She was not afraid at all that the Emperor would misunderstand that she intended to surrender to the Empress. In fact, judging from the current situation, surrendering to the Empress could also be considered surrendering to the Emperor for the time being.

Bo Muxi's eyes flickered, but his tone remained calm. He asked with a smile, "My beloved concubine seems to respect the queen very much. Don't you think she is a little cold and boring?"

"I think that a woman like the Queen should be like that. Besides, maybe her heart is not cold or boring at all. Maybe the Queen's heart is just hard for people to get close to." Shen Zhiyao answered softly, looking very cautious.

Shen Zhiyao really admired the queen in her heart. If she were born in modern times with a personality like the queen, she would definitely be a heroine who would be sought after by everyone. Even in ancient times, she would be born noble. It can only be said that Bo Muxi had too many psychological problems and poor patience. He had never seriously explored and developed the queen. It was not that the queen was really bad.

"My beloved concubine, what you said does make sense. The Queen is a very competent Queen." Bo Muxi smiled. Shen Zhiyao's answer made him very satisfied. Although the Queen was not a perfect woman in his heart, she was a rare partner. No matter how resentful he was, he would not tolerate other women slandering her.

"Since my beloved concubine has such a keen eye, how about you give us another evaluation of Concubine Zhao?" Bo Muxi asked with a casual smile.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I was too proud just now and made bold comments about the Empress. It is not right for a small concubine like me to comment on the Empresses in high positions. I know I was wrong. Your Majesty, please don't question me anymore." Shen Zhiyao felt that something was wrong, so she immediately played dumb and acted pitiful.

"Okay, I won't ask you these questions anymore." Bo Muxi looked at her for a long time before shaking his head helplessly and smiling.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will personally make tea for you." After escaping the disaster, Shen Zhiyao immediately began to please the emperor again.

Only a fool would be smart in front of the emperor. One needs to be extremely cautious when commenting on other concubines or expressing opinions on state affairs. Even the remarks made in one's own palace will soon reach the ears of the person being commented on. Many people have died here without knowing it.

The emperor naturally stayed in Cuiweixuan again that night. The two of them watched the moon and talked happily.

That night, Bo Muxi and Shen Zhiyao were both extremely satisfied.

The emperor really didn't treat Shen Zhiyao badly. The next morning, after Shen Zhiyao paid her respects at Fengyi Palace and returned to Cuiweixuan, the emperor really gave her a title: Jin. From then on, Shen Zhiyao was a Jincairen.

As expected, the fact that Shen Zhiyao was given a title caused an uproar in the palace. The concubines were all upset. After all, it was the first time that someone in the palace was given a title, and she was a unique one.

Concubine Zhao was so angry that she smashed an antique vase and said, "What's so good about this Shen family? She fooled the emperor around! She is just a little talent with a bad personality, but she suppressed those of us in high positions. How can I tolerate this!"

Seeing how angry she was, other maids didn't dare to persuade her, and only her personal maid Dai Tao dared to coax her.

Concubine Zhao was in a rage for a long time before she calmed down and said angrily, "That talented lady Shen is so good! I will definitely teach her a lesson!"
