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

That day, Shen Zhiyao brought the eldest princess out of Fengyi Palace. Thinking that Huayu Palace was close, she was too lazy to ride in the sedan chair and simply walked back.

Just as I walked out of the garden and onto the main road, by chance, I ran into the eldest prince who was heading to Fengyi Palace with his study companion to pay his respects to the empress.

The eldest prince is now nearly seven years old and has long lived alone in the Yangqin Palace. When other princes are about five years old, they will also bid farewell to their mothers and move into the Yangqin Palace.

He looked like a little adult. Ever since his mother's family was weakened, Concubine Zhao had been in tears all day long. Even though he was young, he understood that his fate would be implicated by his mother's family.

But he really couldn't figure it out. Isn't there the Imperial Grandmother? Isn't the Imperial Grandmother the same bloodline as him? Shouldn't she be the closest to him?

But what he felt was the love that the Empress Dowager had for all the princes and princesses equally.

The eldest prince was a precocious child. After realizing his current situation, he began to take the initiative to pay his respects to the queen and report on his studies every day.

Although the Queen already had the Fourth Prince, which made his chances of becoming the Crown Prince much smaller, it was always beneficial to get closer to him on the surface.

The eldest prince knew that Concubine Jin often went to see the Queen, and he went there this time because he had received a tip-off, just to avoid the powerful Concubine Jin.

But he never expected that Princess Jin happened not to ride in the sedan chair, so he met him.

The eldest prince looked at Shen Zhiyao from afar. Faced with this concubine who dared to chase his mother to Yuquan Palace and beat her with a feather duster, the eldest prince felt a little frightened.

However, he did not hesitate at all, and walked quickly to meet her from a distance, bowing respectfully: "Your son greets Mother Concubine Jin."

The tutors and eunuchs accompanying the eldest prince also knelt down and saluted: "Your servants pay their respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Jin."

"No need to be polite." Shen Zhiyao raised her hand slightly to signal, then raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you going to pay your respects to the Queen?"

"That's right. I have learned new lessons today, and I am going to pay my respects to mother and report some of my lessons to her." The eldest prince said, subconsciously grasping the corner of his clothes with his fingers, looking a little helpless.

Shen Zhiyao noticed it and thought to herself: Humph! After all, he is just a child, his hair hasn't grown yet...

Although she didn't like it, there was no need for her to make things difficult for a child.

As the saying goes: Bully the old and don't bully the young.

Shen Zhiyao looked at the eldest prince and smiled gently, "Well, the eldest prince should talk to the empress about his studies more often. First, the emperor has ordered the empress to supervise your studies; second, the eldest prince is in the enlightenment period and really needs the guidance of the empress. The empress is a man of great talent, and as long as the eldest prince is willing to learn, she will definitely train you into a talent."

"Yes, I will always remember Mother Concubine Jin's teachings. I was young and ignorant, and caused Mother and Concubine Jin to worry." The eldest prince said with his head down.

"It's really nothing to make your mother and me worry..." Shen Zhiyao chuckled and patted the eldest prince's shoulder gently.

The eldest prince looked at her in confusion. When their eyes met, the eldest prince's eyes were full of nervousness and he was obviously very wary of her.

Shen Zhiyao smiled calmly and said, "Your mother is the Empress. As the mistress, she will naturally care for every prince and princess in the palace. As for me, if you are willing, you can still call me mother. If you don't want to, just call me Empress. Naturally, I can't say anything. Maybe you still hate me because of what happened last time. It's still unknown."

"Mother Princess Jin, I absolutely do not have such an idea..." The eldest prince explained haltingly.

"Really? The eldest prince is so precocious, he naturally understands that your mother and I are not on good terms at all." Shen Zhiyao said very frankly.

The eldest prince frowned and thought for a while, but suddenly relaxed.

If Princess Jin really had bad intentions, why would she be so frank? Wouldn't it be better to pretend to be a loving mother?

"I can understand that. Mother... um... she..."

The eldest prince held it in for a long time without saying: My mother has no bad intentions.

Even if I could say it shamelessly, it would seem too fake...

"Let's not talk about her... Let's talk about you. When your mother drowned, she was still pregnant with your fourth brother. If she didn't really want to save you, would she have been pushed into the Taiye Lake so easily? You are the eldest son of the emperor, and you were only five years old at that time. If your mother really had an accident while saving you, have you thought about how you would deal with it?"

Shen Zhiyao looked at the pale-faced eldest prince without any sympathy.

"Even now, the eldest prince is only less than seven years old, so it is inevitable that he will make mistakes. The emperor is the eldest prince's father, and he is also the monarch above all others. If the prince really commits a crime that angers heaven and man, the emperor must consider the overall situation even if he is reluctant."

"That's all I have to say. I hope the eldest prince can truly appreciate your mother's day. In order to save you, she had to endure the cold even though she was pregnant. When you encounter problems in the future, think more about your mother and your mother concubine. Well, I won't waste the eldest prince's time. The weather is hot, and your mother has already prepared iced watermelon for you. Come in and cool down."

At the end of her words, Shen Zhiyao returned to her gentle and loving appearance, as if she had never said those harsh words.

These words not only criticized the eldest prince, but also indirectly revealed her deep friendship with the queen.

"Thank you for your advice, mother. I will remember it." The eldest prince bowed his head and replied. Seeing Shen Zhiyao was about to leave, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Your son will see you off, mother."

Shen Zhiyao turned around, smiled and waved her hand: "I'm leaving, you should leave too, look at your sweaty head."

The eldest prince smiled at Shen Zhiyao with a childish look on his face.

It was not until the backs of Shen Zhiyao and her group completely disappeared from sight that the visiting companion said worriedly, "The eldest prince..."

The eldest prince raised his eyebrows and said, "You are not allowed to tell anyone about the conversation between you and Princess Jin just now! Do you understand? Otherwise, I will cut off your tongues!"

"Yes, yes, we servants will remember it." Several servants were frightened and nodded in response hurriedly.

After receiving the promise, the eldest prince couldn't help but look up at the direction where Shen Zhiyao was going away, and sighed: "What a pity..."

"The eldest prince..." The personal eunuch looked at the eldest prince in confusion.

"What do you know... Concubine Jin is not my biological mother, what a pity..."

The eldest prince muttered this, then snorted unwillingly.

He thought, fortunately, this imperial concubine Jin did not give birth to a prince, otherwise, he would have no chance at all...

As soon as Shen Zhiyao and the others entered the main gate of Huayu Palace, Qiuyue couldn't help asking, "Master, you just suddenly said those words to the eldest prince. Aren't you afraid that he will tell the emperor or Concubine Zhao and the others?"

"Haha, I'm hoping he'll say it. Do you think he dares?" Shen Zhiyao chuckled and said, "I've done my best to say these things to him today. If I didn't see that he still has some strength, I wouldn't bother to say it."

"I hope he will take care of himself. If he dares to murder us next time, or does anything bad to the eldest princess and the fourth prince, I will not be polite. If that happens, I will lose if I say one more word to him..."
