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

The hunt lasted for two hours before Bo Muxi felt satisfied and led the way back, and everyone else dared to follow him.

Bo Muxi returned with a full load, having killed a leopard, a lynx, three deer, and several other animals, ranking first in hunting results.

Following closely behind was the Prince of Ying, Zong Zheng Xiujie, who also reaped great rewards.

The queen's harvest was surprisingly not small, she even hunted two lynxes and a roe deer, ranking sixth. Shen Zhiyao unexpectedly followed closely behind, ranking seventh. Her prey also included a lynx and a fox, as well as a variety of other miscellaneous prey.

The Queen and Shen Zhiyao worked together to hunt down the largest stag in the hunting grounds. The story had long been exaggerated by the palace servants and spread into a legend. Naturally, the Emperor also heard about it on his way back.

Princess Chai Linghua of Ying State also performed quite well, ranking eleventh.

There were also many male officials who participated in this hunting trip, including many military generals. Although there is inevitably some "water" in the results, it is not easy for these three women to achieve such impressive results, and they deserve respect.

Some of the concubines who stayed in the pavilion waiting had already started whispering. They stared at Shen Zhiyao with complicated expressions, their eyes full of jealousy and unwillingness. Shen Zhiyao was too prominent today.

Concubine Zhao, Wei Wanyi and Zheng Baolin only shot a few wild rabbits and could not be ranked.

Concubine Qi got nothing, but she was not in a hurry. She didn't come here for hunting, but just to leave a good impression on the emperor.

Bo Muxi stood in the crowd, his black dragon-patterned outfit highlighting his feminine and handsome appearance. He was really eye-catching, and even Shen Zhiyao couldn't help but want to take a few more glances at him.

Putting aside his status and position, the emperor is truly handsome. No wonder the concubines in the palace fought so fiercely. I think in addition to fighting for status and power, they also really wanted to compete for the emperor's favor. After all, who could not love such a handsome guy?

Bo Muxi looked at them with a smile. The Queen and Shen Zhiyao were far superior to the Crown Princess of Ying State and were even better than some of the ministers. This fully satisfied his competitive spirit. It must be said that although Bo Muxi was a man, he also had a desire to admire the strong.

"The Queen is worthy of being the eldest daughter of Marquis Pingxuan. She has outstanding hunting results! It turns out that Cairen Jin is also an expert in riding and shooting. It is true that a good father will have a good daughter! I will definitely reward you handsomely!" Bomuxi laughed loudly.

The Queen and Shen Zhiyao knelt down and thanked the Emperor, saying, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace."

After the queen stood up, she smiled and said to Shen Zhiyao, "I also admire Jin Cairen's riding and archery skills. When we return to the palace, I will give you the "Xue Lan Bow" that I have been collecting. A good bow goes with a beautiful woman, and this bow suits you best!"

The "Xue Lan Bow" was specially made for the empress by someone with a master's help after Marquis Ping Xuan took great pains to make it. The bow was made of carefully selected materials and was tailor-made for women based on the characteristics of women. The bow is strong and swift, matched with a soft arrow, and is good at using clever strength to defeat the enemy. The craftsmanship is sophisticated and complex, making it a top-quality bow.

Bo Muxi was even more surprised when he heard this. The bow was the queen's favorite, and yet she gave it to Shen Zhiyao so easily. It was really a great mercy.

Shen Zhiyao knelt down and thanked her: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will take good care of this bow and live up to your kindness!"

After Shen Zhiyao stood up, she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. The queen always made the most appropriate move at the right time, which showed that her mind was indeed not comparable to that of ordinary women. The queen was really willing to give her beloved things to those she admired.

This bow was awarded to Shen Zhiyao and the Shen family. The Queen actually dared to express her opinion in public at such a sensitive time. How could the Shen family not cherish this honor and be grateful to the Queen?

The Crown Prince of Ying State also stepped forward at the right time and praised: "Your Majesty's riding and archery skills are amazing. The Queen's riding and archery are also amazing. Even the Jincai people are so outstanding. It can be seen that there are talents in Zhao State. It is really a role model for our country! Your Majesty is wise and brave, and I really admire you!"

Zong Zheng Xiujie's flattery was very heartfelt, which made Bo Muxi very satisfied. He immediately rewarded him with many rare items. It can be seen that Zong Zheng Xiujie's diplomatic work this time was extremely successful, and his future path to succession will be much smoother.

Everyone was busy congratulating, but Concubine Zhao was the only one staring at Shen Zhiyao with resentment. She hated the fact that Shen Zhiyao always stole the limelight. It was bad enough that she couldn't compete with the Queen, but now even Concubine Jin was trying to suppress her.

"Anyone who dares to compete with me for my favor must die!" Concubine Zhao sneered in her heart.

The hunting activity ended happily with cheers. Those who had gained something were naturally very happy, and those who had no gain were not disappointed.

Those who can participate in this hunting trip are all important figures, which is of great significance in itself, and they are all truly valued by the emperor.

Shen Zhiyao returned to Mingxin Pavilion and collapsed on the couch to rest.

At dinner, Lin En personally brought the fragrant roasted venison, and specifically emphasized that it was hunted by the emperor himself, and ordered him to send it to Jin Cairen to taste.

Shen Zhiyao acted very happily and rewarded Lin En with ten taels of silver.

Lin'en took the reward and left happily. According to his observation, Concubine Jin's anger towards the emperor should have almost subsided, and he could give an explanation to the emperor later.

Unexpectedly, later in the evening, Lin En suddenly came to Mingxin Pavilion again and conveyed the emperor's order to bring Jin Cairen to the emperor's palace to accompany him.

This is Shen Zhiyao's first time accompanying the emperor, so it is naturally of great significance.

Arriving at the Emperor's Palace, Shen Zhiyao saw the Emperor whom she had not seen for a long time. She was not pretentious and stepped forward to greet him generously, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."

Bo Muxi looked at the young concubine with complicated eyes. His heart, which had been very open just now, couldn't help but feel a little resentful. He didn't know why he cared so much about Shen Zhiyao's rejection of him.

"My beloved concubine, have you had enough of your temper? Are you still blaming me?" Bo Muxi didn't want to beat around the bush with her, so he asked directly, with unpredictable emotions flashing in his deep eyes.

They haven't seen each other for more than a month. Although Bo Muxi missed her a little, he didn't want to spoil her too much and force her to give in. The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.

Shen Zhiyao raised her head and met his gaze generously, with a bitter smile on her lips. She said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I have never...never really blamed Your Majesty...Your Majesty has ignored me for so long, and I miss you very much...I am no longer angry."

When it came to the emotional part, tears seemed to be about to overflow from Shen Zhiyao's eyes, but she seemed to be still trying to hold it back, not wanting to let the tears flow out, not wanting to lose her manners in front of Bo Muxi.

Bo Muxi looked at the little concubine who had always been so proud and bright, and now looked so pitiful, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes.

Bo Muxi raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch Shen Zhiyao, but then stopped in mid-air. He suddenly felt a little angry, angry that Shen Zhiyao could affect his emotions so easily, making him no longer the self-restrained and cold self.

They stared at each other quietly, and time seemed to stand still at this moment...
