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

Chapter 31 Small works please the heart, big works hurt the body

Bo Muxi had a lot of government affairs to deal with. Today, when he thought of Shen Zhiyao, it was already dusk. In fact, he was still worried about Shen Zhiyao in his heart. He thought that with the little concubine's unwillingness to suffer any loss, she might be sulking in Cuiweixuan at this moment.

But what he didn't expect was that Shen Zhiyao was leisurely drinking tea and studying spices in Cuiweixuan at this time. She didn't want to worry about why the emperor didn't severely punish the so-called real murderer for her.

Bo Muxi had punished many palace maids for her, and everyone in the harem knew that Concubine Jin was not someone to be trifled with. That was enough.

The queen also gave her face. In the afternoon, she sent someone to give her some fine eyebrow pencils, spices and other good things as a token of her comfort.

Everyone in the palace has always regarded the Queen's actions as a weather vane, so all concubines, regardless of their status, have sent a lot of things to Cuiwei Palace. This time, Shen Zhiyao turned a disaster into a blessing and made a lot of money.

Even Concubine Zhao, who was extremely jealous of her, had to grit her teeth and reward her with some valuable things to prove her innocence.

Sensing that Bo Muxi might come, Shen Zhiyao did not live in slovenly even when she was recuperating, and even dressed up formally.

As a woman who traveled through time from the modern era, Shen Zhiyao is well versed in male psychology. In the modern era, she had an idol woman who always kept exquisite makeup. It was said that even her husband had never seen her without makeup. No matter how old she got, she would always maintain this habit, so the relationship between the couple never cooled down.

Shen Zhiyao thinks this is an excellent habit. Although it is a bit exaggerated to never remove makeup, women should indeed maintain their charm at all times. This is also an important means to keep love fresh for a long time.

After some women get married, they think that there is no need to dress up seriously since they have a stable relationship. They start to allow themselves to become sloppy and do not improve themselves. They allow themselves to gradually become an ordinary housewife. Ultimately, they lose their feminine charm and often end up in divorce.

Therefore, from the first day she traveled into the harem, Shen Zhiyao set rules for herself. She had to always keep her makeup exquisite and her clothes tasteful, change her style and appearance from time to time, and constantly improve her abilities in all aspects to the extreme, so that she would not be easily imitated or even surpassed by the three thousand beauties in the harem.

Today she wore a new style skirt made of the water-glowing brocade that the emperor had awarded her before. The style was of course designed by her herself. It had silver thread edges and was embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns. It had some playful modern elements and looked very outstanding.

Because the poisoning damaged her vitality, she has lost some weight recently, becoming thinner, with a more morbid beauty and a more fairy-like air.

She had her hair in a simple lily bun, decorated with a gold hairpin and pearl accessories bestowed by the emperor. It was not gorgeous, but very attractive.

She also specifically referred to the "tearful eye makeup" which is quite popular in modern society, and lightly applied red powder around her eye sockets, making her look like she had been wronged and had just finished crying. She was actually super adorable!

Add some blush in the same color to create a sense of brokenness after a beautiful woman cries, like an innocent and cute little rabbit.

In the evening, Bo Muxi remembered that the young concubine loved to eat all kinds of sweets, so he specially ordered the kitchen to make some rare desserts and asked Lin En to bring them. He came to Cuiweixuan with great anticipation, but did not see Shen Zhiyao waiting outside Cuiyunxuan to greet him as usual.

Bo Muxi felt somewhat disappointed, but not angry. After all, Shen Zhiyao was still recuperating, and he could understand that.

At this time, Qiuyue and the others were kneeling outside Cuiweixuan.

"How is Lady Jin's health?" asked Bo Muxi.

Qiuyue was about to answer, but saw Shen Zhiyao walking out slowly, so she stopped talking.

Bo Muxi looked up at Shen Zhiyao and saw that she was thin, with fair skin and a somewhat abnormal beauty. She seemed to have been wronged and cried, and he couldn't help but feel a little more distressed and pity for her.

Bo Muxi looked at Shen Zhiyao carefully, and his eyes lit up. It was a makeup he had never seen before. He felt that such a little concubine had an alternative beauty and was more charming. He looked at her intently, and only Shen Zhiyao's charming and delicate figure flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May the emperor be blessed with good health." Shen Zhiyao bowed politely, seeming a little distant unlike usual.

"My beloved, please get up quickly. You are still sick." Bo Muxi considerately reached out and helped Shen Zhiyao up.

The emperor then discovered that the style of Shen Zhiyao's dress was novel and special, and he seemed to have never seen it before. He knew that this should be a new dress made of the Shuiguang brocade he gave her last time. There was a little more smile in his eyes. He liked to see that the things he gave away were fully utilized.

After Shen Zhiyao stood up, she replied indifferently, "Your Majesty, I am still feeling heavy and I am afraid I cannot serve you for too long. I am afraid I will neglect you. Please stay in Cuiweixuan for a while and then go to other sisters' place."

Shen Zhiyao's tone was so calm that it seemed to be without any emotion or waves, yet it seemed to contain some anger.

The smile on Bo Muxi's face faded a little, and his tone became lower. He asked, "It seems that my beloved concubine is still very unwell?"

Shen Zhiyao looked straight into his eyes, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes revealing a hint of grievance, dissatisfaction and disappointment.

The atmosphere became noticeably tense. Although Bo Muxi's expression seemed calm, dissatisfaction gradually flashed in his eyes. He suddenly withdrew his gaze, as if he didn't want to look Shen Zhiyao in the eye again.

"Your Majesty, I am indeed feeling very unwell and am not fit to serve you in the bedchamber." Shen Zhiyao said softly, and there seemed to be a hint of trembling in her soft voice.

Bo Muxi was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "In that case, my beloved concubine, take good care of your health. Now that I have seen you, I should be relieved. I am leaving now."

Bo Muxi's tone was calm, but revealed his unquestionable determination. He turned around and walked away at the speed of wind.

Lin En was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly handed the food box in his hand to Qiuyue and chased after him.

The emperor left in a huff and even forgot to sit in the imperial sedan. This was the first time in his life that a woman dared to reject him so bluntly!

Bo Muxi thought as he walked, and the more he thought, the angrier he became. He believed that he had spoiled Shen Zhiyao too much, which led to her becoming spoiled. He should be cold to her so that she would cherish his love.

After Shen Zhiyao watched the emperor leave, he sneered and turned back to the hall to continue his dinner.

Of course, she could learn from other concubines, pretending to be sensible and virtuous, not making any noise or making a fuss. At most, she could pretend to be aggrieved and act coquettishly to win the emperor's favor.

But what about the long-term? This time she was poisoned by the Hedinghong, and Concubine Lu took the blame. Who will harm her again next time and push someone else out to take the blame? If this happens every time, how many lives can she have to play with them?

Shen Zhiyao believed that making concessions without any principles would not win her more love from the emperor, but would instead make the emperor label her as weak and ill-tempered.

If the price of being favored is for her to pretend to be gentle and generous all her life, then the value of this favor is too low and it is better not to have it!

She just wants to make her attitude clear! The relationship between men and women is essentially a game, and you can't just compromise and give in.

In the early stages of a relationship, you should take the opportunity to establish a "framework" and rules for the other party, so that the other party knows his or her bottom line. Otherwise, when the heat fades, you will have to suffer forever.

Shen Zhiyao wanted to do it for the emperor to see, for the other concubines to see, and even more so for the mastermind behind the scenes to see.

She insisted on establishing a personality in Bo Muxi's mind that was different from any other concubine in the harem.

Shen Zhiyao thought that she was just playing a development game, slowly cultivating Bo Muxi's unique habits of getting along with her. Although it was quite difficult, it fully aroused her desire for challenge.
