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

"Your Majesty, you don't think that I gave up my comfortable life and took on the important task of assisting the palace queen just because I coveted the position of a first-rank concubine, right?" Shen Zhiyao looked at the emperor with disappointment in her eyes.

Shen Zhiyao sneered in her heart. Of course, she was aiming for a high position. Otherwise, could it be that she was making selfless contributions to building a harmonious palace?

Since she traveled through time, she has indeed been annoyed by the emperor's temptations.

At first, I just endured it for the sake of gaining favor.

Now that she has become successful, she has to have a bit of temper. Otherwise, she will always be tempted and tricked. How can she live a comfortable life?

We must take advantage of this opportunity to cure the emperor's illness!

"I..." Bo Muxi had just said one word, but before he could continue, he was interrupted by Shen Zhiyao again.

"If I wasn't worried about the Queen's pregnancy, I would be bothered by these trivial matters all day long. Sooner or later, she would suffer from harm to her body and the eldest son in her belly. That's why I don't bother to do these thankless tasks!"

"When my father returned to Dadu this time, I didn't even have a chance to say anything personal before he rushed to the battlefield again. When I wrote home a few days ago, I reminded my father to always remember the emperor's grace and never forget his roots."

Bo Muxi had nothing to say about this, as he had read those family letters with his own eyes.

"Your Majesty... I have always been thinking about you. I have always tried to make arrangements for your great ambition. I never thought that I would only be suspected by your Majesty after I followed the rules and tried to be thorough in every aspect!"

Shen Zhiyao became more and more excited as she spoke, her peach blossom eyes filled with endless sorrow, and the tears that occasionally seeped from the corners of her eyes made Bo Muxi feel heartbroken.

"Okay, it's all my fault. I let my beloved concubine suffer." Bo Muxi said, and took Shen Zhiyao's handkerchief to wipe her tears.

"Don't think that I am the emperor, but I have never tried to coax other women. My mouth is really... a little stupid... My beloved concubine, please don't be angry..."

What Bo Muxi said was half true and half false. He had indeed never tried to coax a woman with all his heart. It could be said that the only woman in the world who was bold enough for him to coax her personally was Shen Zhiyao.

But Bo Muxi is not stupid at all. Not only is he not stupid, he is also a master of brainwashing!

"Your Majesty, please think carefully. Since I entered the palace, how much have I contributed to the harem and the previous dynasty? It is true that my father has military merits, but I did not rely entirely on the Shen family!"

"I can please the emperor and win his favor. I can invent new things and am good at riding and shooting... Even if the emperor doesn't agree with what I said above, I am now assisting the queen in handling the affairs of the six palaces and I have never failed."

"I believe that I am worthy of the title of Shuyi bestowed upon me by the Emperor, and I have no guilty conscience! I have never committed any serious mistakes, nor do I have any ambitions. I really don't know what I have done that has gone too far to make the Emperor so distrustful!"

Shen Zhiyao was so excited at the moment. She was a lady of noble character, but she cried like a cat.

It was the first time that Bo Muxi was thrown into a state of panic by a woman. All the concubines in the harem pretended to be gentle and virtuous. He had never seen such a situation before.

"My beloved, I really didn't mean that, and I never doubted you. My beloved is indeed capable, and she doesn't rely much on the Shen family..." Bo Muxi wiped her tears and coaxed her, showing rare patience.

"If the emperor really doesn't want to believe me, I don't think it's worth it. Why don't you send me to Cheng'en Temple? I will also be accompanied by the green lamp to prove my innocence!"

Shen Zhiyao looked very painful. She immediately snatched the handkerchief from Bo Muxi's hand, covered her eyes, and refused to look at the emperor again.

Qiuyue and Chu'an who were standing aside were dumbfounded and thought: The master is too bold, it is no less than "pulling dragon's whiskers". If the emperor turns against him, that will be disastrous!

But they only dared to watch and didn't dare to step forward to stop it. They were so scared that their legs went weak and they both knelt on the ground.

Not to mention the two of them, even the servants who were originally serving in Changdeok Palace were all frightened and knelt down together...

Lin'en was bolder, so he secretly glanced at the emperor's face, but saw that Bo Muxi was not angry at all. Although he looked embarrassed, he seemed to be in a good mood.

Lin En thought: Wow, this is rare, the emperor is not angry at all...

"You..." Bo Muxi pulled Shen Zhiyao over: "You have a hot temper... I admit that I have occasionally tested you before. But this time, I really want to talk to you about my true feelings, and I do want to promote you..." Bo Muxi was speechless and had to say what was in his heart.

Bo Muxi originally thought that, according to convention, Shen Zhiyao would simply humbly refuse and then act coquettishly and cutely.

Unexpectedly, this woman did not play by the rules and gave him a "combination punch".

"Then, Your Majesty, is implying that I am being unreasonable... or... that I... am becoming too suspicious?" Shen Zhiyao's tears, which had just been held back, were about to flow out again.

Bo Muxi had a headache and could only coax her patiently: "My beloved concubine, what you said is true. You have always done a good job and are a model. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said those words that hurt my beloved concubine. I promise you that you can ask directly if you have any questions in the future. I won't treat my beloved concubine like this anymore. Okay?"

Lin En was shocked when he heard this, and thought: Empress Jin Shuyi is really smart. She is so kind to the Emperor and the Empress with all her heart. Just based on this point, even if she really makes some mistakes or has some bad temper, it won't be a big deal.

"Your Majesty...are you telling the truth? You are not just trying to fool me, are you?" Shen Zhiyao took off the handkerchief covering her eyes and looked at the emperor with her red and swollen eyes. Even the tip of her nose was red. She looked so pitiful.

"Of course it's true. Why should I coax you? Then my beloved concubine is not allowed to cry anymore. I will keep my word." Bo Muxi smiled and tapped her nose.

"Hmph! I will forgive Your Majesty this time. If Your Majesty forgets about it in the future and suspects me without reason again, I will be so sad that I will disappear into hiding!" Shen Zhiyao said with false happiness.

"I've learned a lesson from your 'refusal to see anyone'! I don't want to be rejected by my beloved concubine again." Bo Muxi smiled gently, and after saying this, he hugged Shen Zhiyao into his arms and was very tender with her again.

Now that her goal has been achieved, there is no need for her to overdo it. After all, this man is the emperor, and if she fails to grasp the right measure, she may end up making things worse.

In fact, Shen Zhiyao knew in her heart that she had a father like Shen Li, and she was on good terms with the Queen. Seeing that the Queen was about to give birth, it was understandable that the Emperor would be wary and concerned.

Now that she had expressed her anger openly, this real and fake resentment would actually ease the emperor's concerns.

The emperor was openly asking her if she wanted to be an imperial concubine, but secretly, he was testing her ambition.

Perhaps in the emperor's mind, Shen Zhiyao's sincerity towards the queen may have made him suspect that she is eyeing the queen's position.

But how could he know that Shen Zhiyao was not interested at all. If she really became the queen, wouldn't her life be more comfortable than now? What was she trying to gain?

Isn’t it great that the queen takes care of everything for her?

"My dear, I want to take you to a place, a place I have never taken anyone to." Bo Muxi let go of Shen Zhiyao, looked into her eyes, and said seriously.

"Okay." Shen Zhiyao was not pretentious. She knew that it was not that simple for the emperor to specially call her here in the middle of the night.
