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

Shen Zhiyao bowed her head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"My beloved concubine, please don't be so polite. I have been busy with government affairs these days. How is your health? Have you started to have morning sickness yet?" Bo Muxi still held her hand and refused to let go.

"Except for feeling a little tired occasionally, there is no other reaction. I am an active person and cannot sit still. It is better for me to stay with the Empress and Sister Zhuang to handle affairs. It is just a way to relieve boredom." Shen Zhiyao looked at the emperor's eyes, which were still red.

"My beloved... I have ignored you for a few days. Do you blame me?" Bo Muxi took her to sit down.

"I blame you, but I also don't blame you." Shen Zhiyao frowned and thought.

Bo Muxi was used to her various outrageous remarks, so he simply pulled her over, held her in his arms, and asked with a smile: "What are you saying? Why, I just praised you to the skies in the imperial edict that promoted you, and now my beloved concubine is going to lose her virtue?"

"The emperor has ignored me for several days and didn't even say a word to me. I am still pregnant with your child... How can I not feel resentful? However, I think the emperor went to the queen's place. My sister is pregnant and can't sleep with him, so the emperor went to discuss business."

"It can be seen that the emperor has been too busy these days to take care of the harem. In the midst of his busy schedule, the emperor is still concerned about promoting me. How can I blame the emperor? In this case, not only can I not blame him, but I should also thank the emperor for his favor."

After saying this, Shen Zhiyao actually stood up from the emperor's arms and saluted Bo Muxi again.

Considering that she was still pregnant, Bo Muxi hurriedly took her hand and stood up.

"I love your character the most. You are unreasonable when you should be selfish, but you are broad-minded when you should be sensible. So I know that only my beloved concubine can sit in this position of imperial concubine."

"I'm telling you, the words the emperor used to praise me in the imperial edict make me blush! How can I be so good? Who knows, some sisters might be making fun of me for this right now!" Shen Zhiyao said, her cheeks actually turning red.

Although Shen Zhiyao did not say it explicitly, she was implying that she had done many things that were not considered virtuous, such as chasing Concubine Zhao with a feather duster.

Bo Muxi gently squeezed Shen Zhiyao's white hand, his eyes full of tenderness: "No matter what my beloved concubine has done, in my eyes, you are the best and most suitable. I have been thinking for a while that this position of imperial concubine has been vacant, maybe it was specially left for you, there is no one better than you."

"I and the Queen trust your character and abilities." Bo Muxi patted her hands.

Shen Zhiyao smiled slyly: "I have to say this in advance. Your Majesty knows my temper best. Don't expect that if you make me an imperial concubine, I will immediately become gentle and virtuous, and as quiet as a chrysanthemum... If that happens, I can't bear it."

Lin En was shocked when he heard this. Look, which concubine dared to talk to the emperor like this? And even discussed the conditions...

Bo Muxi had not expected this. He was stunned at first, and then he smiled and tapped her forehead: "When did I force you to be virtuous by promoting your position? You, woman... are really..."

Shen Zhiyao also laughed, and the two of them laughed and joked, feeling more relaxed than ever before.

No matter how many times the emperor tested and tempted her, Shen Zhiyao never took it to heart. A clear-headed person like her would never care about these things.

"Although I am wholeheartedly on your side, I cannot help but put on some pretense, all for the sake of protecting my beloved concubine. My status is special, and if I openly pamper you to the sky, who knows, it might end up hurting you instead." Bo Muxi said.

There was no need for the emperor to explain to Shen Zhiyao, he just wanted this woman to understand him better.

"Your Majesty has made very good considerations. I also read some unofficial history occasionally. There are some innocent concubines who were killed by jealous people because they were too favored. An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. The emperor's favor is the greatest treasure a concubine can have. There are many people in the harem and the previous dynasty who are interested in this." Shen Zhiyao said.

"My beloved concubine still understands me. Every time I communicate with you, I feel like I am bathed in spring breeze." Bo Muxi tightened Shen Zhiyao's hand.

"That's because the emperor said that I and you share the same thoughts. No matter what happens, I trust the emperor..." Shen Zhiyao looked at the emperor with eyes full of trust.

This was of course acted out by Shen Zhiyao. Who else could she trust besides herself?

Bo Muxi pulled her into his arms without saying a word. The silent hug was better than all the sweet words.

It was late at night, but Bo Muxi did not leave. He had not stayed in the harem for several days. That night, he was very angry and made Shen Zhiyao very upset.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Please be gentle with your hands and feet... My waist hurts and my legs are weak..."

The bed was filled with the emperor's heavy breathing and Shen Zhiyao's charming pleas for mercy.

Bo Muxi looked at Shen Zhiyao, who was being forced upon the couch by him, his eyes full of excitement and his interest even stronger.

Because of her pregnancy, Bo Muxi was very restrained in her movements, but the more restrained she was, the more enjoyable it felt. The emperor felt like he had discovered a new world. It turned out that the wilder you were, the more enjoyable it was not necessarily.

The next morning, when Shen Zhiyao opened her eyes, she saw Bo Muxi staring at her with great interest. She couldn't help but shrink back. This guy, couldn't possibly want to do that kind of thing to her again now!

"My beloved, how about I send Lin En to say hello to the Queen? We don't have to go to Fengyi Palace today. What do you think?" Bo Muxi said, as if he really wanted to do something.

Shen Zhiyao would not tolerate him. She raised her foot and gently kicked the emperor, gritting her teeth and said angrily: "I just got promoted and I don't pay my respects. How will others look at me? Besides, I'm pregnant, you should restrain yourself..."

Everyone was gossiping behind her back that she had become so arrogant after her promotion that she didn't even go to pay respects, but if they were to fabricate a story that she could sleep with him even though she was pregnant and couldn't pay respects... this person would be a disaster...

Bo Muxi looked at her with resentful eyes and frowned, saying, "If all the concubines were as diligent and strict as my beloved concubine, how could there be a king who indulges in gentle pleasures and refuses to attend the morning court?"

"Your Majesty, the Empress will certainly not mind, but I am afraid of being criticized and causing trouble for Your Majesty..." Shen Zhiyao acted coquettishly.

Bo Muxi didn't insist, tapping her nose and saying, "You're going to be a mother, but you're still acting like a spoiled brat... Then get up. I'll have dinner with you, and then we'll go to the morning court."

Shen Zhiyao hummed a few times and was then led by Bo Muxi to wash up.

The two of them leisurely enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast, and the emperor left first. After Shen Zhiyao was satisfied with her dressing up, she left Cuiweixuan contentedly and went to pay her respects to the queen.

When they arrived at the front hall, everyone looked at Shen Zhiyao with a look of dissatisfaction, jealousy, and mostly envy.

It had only been two days since Shen Zhiyao beat Concubine Zhao, but not only was she not punished, she was promoted to the rank of first-rank concubine.

On the other hand, although Concubine Zhao and her son were not punished, they obviously suffered a great loss.

what does this mean?

From then on, those ministers and concubines who had been ready to make moves no longer dared to target the Shen family or Shen Zhiyao easily.

There was a group of women gathered in the hall, chattering loudly.

Among them, Concubine Zhao had the darkest face. She was overtaken by Shen Zhiyao and stepped on. Now she felt as uncomfortable as if she was fed with slop.
