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

Ever since the emperor left Cuiweixuan in anger, he has never come to visit Shen Zhiyao again, and he hasn't even asked her a question. It seems that the emperor is very angry this time.

During the month of rest, Shen Zhiyao was happy to relax and concentrate on practicing archery.

After this period of hard training, Shen Zhiyao's archery skills improved by leaps and bounds.

At the beginning, her archery posture was stiff and the arrows often deviated from the target. After daily practice and constant adjustment of posture and strength, now when she shoots arrows, her arms are steady and powerful, and her eyes staring at the center of the bull's eye have become extremely sharp, and her hit rate has improved significantly.

At this moment, she was standing on the makeshift shooting range, with an upright posture and a focused expression. Every arrow she shot hit the target accurately, which made her feel extremely satisfied and confident.

Shen Zhiyao feels that through the study of archery, her mentality and will have also undergone major changes and improvements. She feels calmer and more focused, and she also understands better how to maintain a stable mentality under pressure.

Qiuyue, Qiuling and Qiuji witnessed Shen Zhiyao's efforts and progress. They could not help but marvel at Shen Zhiyao's learning achievements in just one month. They even forgot the feeling of loss that their master had been deliberately ignored by the emperor for a whole month.

Although Shen Zhiyao seemed to have fallen out of favor, the kitchen manager did not dare to neglect her, and the food supply was quite sufficient and varied. The clothing bureau also always delivered the new clothes that were made in time.

Of course, this is also related to Shen Zhiyao's generosity. She has a lot of money and is willing to spend it.

In mid-August, the rest period granted by the emperor to Shen Zhiyao was over, and she had to start paying her respects at Fengyi Palace every day.

As soon as Shen Zhiyao entered Fengyi Palace, she saw everyone staring at her with gloating eyes, as if they were staring at prey.

Everyone has been looking forward to this for a long time, how could they miss such a great opportunity to humiliate Shen Zhiyao?

Lady Qi was the first to speak up, and smiled with her hands covering her lips: "Lady Jin, have you recovered? I heard that you have been staying in Cuiwei Pavilion for the past month, and no one has come to see you. It is so quiet, so you should be recovering very well. If you are still not well, talk to the Queen today and let her allow you to continue to recover for a few more days."

This sarcastic tone was obviously mocking Shen Zhiyao, who had offended the emperor and the emperor was unwilling to pay attention to her anymore.

"My health is naturally well taken care of, so there is no need for Concubine Qi to worry. Cuiweixuan has been quite quiet these days. However, I am recuperating, while your Shu Ningxuan is as quiet as Cuiweixuan all year round. Compared to me, I believe your health should be better taken care of. I naturally cannot compare with you." Shen Zhiyao sneered, openly mocking Concubine Qi for being out of favor.

This made Lady Qi's face change with embarrassment. She seemed to have not expected Shen Zhiyao's thinking to be so quick, and she was speechless for a moment.

"Oh, it seems that Lady Jin has indeed taken good care of herself during this period. Not only has her complexion improved, but her mouth has also become more clever." Zhang Wanyi said with a smile.

"Of course. I have been recuperating for the past month and have gained a lot. If there is a chance, Zhang Wanyi might as well give it a try." Shen Zhiyao said with a faint smile.

Zhang Wanyi rolled her eyes. Who wants to try to fall out of favor with her? How unlucky!

"Talented Lady Jin is becoming more and more unscrupulous. That's right, a mere talented lady, but she even dares to contradict the Emperor, let alone us concubines. We should learn our lesson and stop provoking her." Concubine Zhao sneered.

When everyone saw Concubine Zhao getting angry, they instantly became interested and wanted to see how Shen Zhiyao would respond, but the Queen came out at this moment, and everyone hurriedly stood up to pay their respects.

"Stand up and sit down." The queen waved her hand and sat upright on the high seat.

After everyone stood up, they chatted some more. With the Queen present, it was not easy to attack Shen Zhiyao again. Besides, only a month had passed, so they didn't dare to conclude that Shen Zhiyao had fallen out of favor.

"Okay, everyone is tired, let's go back. Lady Jin, please stay, I have something to ask you." The queen said calmly.

Although everyone was curious about why the Queen left Shen Zhiyao alone, they did not ask too much and they all took their leave.

Before leaving, Concubine Zhao glared at Shen Zhiyao fiercely, then left unwillingly.

"Is Lady Jin feeling better?" the Queen asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Queen. During this period, I have been taking Doctor Zhang's prescriptions on time, and I have recovered a lot. Yesterday, Doctor Zhang took my pulse and said that the toxins in my body have been completely expelled, so there is no need to worry."

"That's good." The queen smiled and motioned Shen Zhiyao to sit down. She looked at Shen Zhiyao with a probing gleam in her eyes.

After a moment of silence, the queen slightly opened her red lips and said in a soft and magnetic voice: "After these days, have you figured things out?"

Shen Zhiyao knew that the Queen was asking her about her and the Emperor's temper. She lowered her head, somewhat unsure why the Queen asked her this question.

"Of course I don't dare to lose my temper with the emperor. I have adjusted my mindset. In the future, I will abide by my duties and serve the emperor wholeheartedly. I won't dare to overstep the mark in any way." Shen Zhiyao said with a smile.

After hearing Shen Zhiyao's answer, the queen smiled and nodded slightly, but her interest in exploring her became stronger.

She looked at Shen Zhiyao, her eyes flashing with a few sharp rays of light, and she chuckled, "I understand your thoughts. Some actions may seem risky, but given the emperor's personality, he will also fall for it."

Shen Zhiyao's heart moved. The queen was indeed quick-witted. She could not hide her actions and little thoughts from her.

She raised her head, looked at the queen, and said softly, "It is I who do not know the general situation."

The Queen didn't respond. After taking a sip of tea, she glanced at Shen Zhiyao and said calmly, "A few days ago, the Emperor of Ying sent a letter to our Emperor. He originally said that he would come to Dadu to pay homage to the Emperor in October, but due to conflicts in work, it was changed to this month. In a few days, he will return to Dadu to pay homage to the Emperor. The Emperor has already approved it."

Shen Zhiyao didn't understand why the queen suddenly changed the subject to this matter. She had heard that in order to make friends with Zhao State and gain the support of the emperor of Zhao State, the neighboring state of Ying State would send envoys with tribute to Zhao State every year as a convention.

A month ago, the palace had already begun preparations for this matter.

Seeing Shen Zhiyao's bewildered look, the Queen was certain that she really didn't know the details of the matter, so she continued, "This tribute is different from previous years. It is somewhat special. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ying will come in person with the envoys to pay tribute to show his sincerity..."

The queen had finished her words here and fell silent again.

However, Shen Zhiyao already understood her intention. Since the Prince of Ying State came in person, Zhao State had to be careful to prevent the Prince of Ying State from being assassinated within the territory of Zhao State. Otherwise, the relationship between the two countries would completely deteriorate, and even lead to war, which would be extremely unfavorable to Zhao State.

Therefore, the emperor would certainly send a capable general to personally escort the Prince of Ying State, and the best candidate would be General Shen Li who was stationed at the border.

This means that Shen Li is going back to Dadu, but this may not be a good thing for the Shen family, and it may even become a disaster.
