"Master is the benefactor of my rebirth. I, Chu'an, will never betray you in my life!"

Chuan kowtowed several more times before he stood up, wiping his tears and following Qiuyue out.

"Master, this man seems to be honest and reliable. He values ​​feelings and knows how to be grateful." Qiu Ling said.

"You have been watching him for such a long time. As long as he is loyal, I don't expect him to have much ability." Shen Zhiyao stood up and said.

Not long after, the "Snow Orchid Bow" that the Queen had promised to reward her with during the hunting trip also arrived. It was delivered personally by Chang Qi, the eunuch in charge of the Queen's affairs.

This shows how much the Queen values ​​Shen Zhiyao, and no one in the harem is not jealous.

Shen Zhiyao liked this thin and exquisite bow so much that she couldn't help but try shooting it twice. It was indeed a top-quality bow.

She wiped the statue clean carefully and placed it in the side hall.

This is Shen Zhiyao's favorite item she has received since she entered the palace. Such a rare item is also the glory of the Shen family.

Soon, other concubines also sent a lot of good things to express their congratulations.

That's how the harem is. It's full of people who take advantage of others. When they are down and out, they are bound to be the ones to be stabbed.

When one is favored, gifts of flattery are inevitable.

The most frightening thing about being in the harem is an unbalanced mentality. If you can't remain calm in the face of praise or criticism, it will be easy to get depression.

Shen Zhiyao selected some items from these gifts and gave them to the three maids Qiuyue, Qiuling and Qiuji.

After staying with her for such a long time, Shen Zhiyao treated them like her own family and naturally would not treat them unfairly.

Seeing that the weather was good, she decided to touch up her makeup and then go to Fengyi Palace to express her gratitude in person.

By the way, ask the Queen to bring the two palace maids over. After all, adding people to the pavilion requires the Queen's consent.

In Renshou Palace, Queen Mother Zhao closed her eyes and turned her Buddhist beads, shaking her head and saying, "The Shen family is indeed difficult to deal with! I used such a meticulous method, coupled with the emperor's suspicious character, but I still couldn't bring them down..."

"Empress Dowager, please don't be too angry..."

Nanny Wang wanted to give some advice, but she kept her mouth shut.

At this time, the Queen Mother did not know that her good niece had done something stupid again and had been caught by the Emperor and the Queen.

Otherwise, I would be even more angry now.

"It seems that Yu Han is useless. The eldest prince is three years old and could have been saved, but his mother is not good enough. I have to think of other ways!" Queen Mother Zhao sighed.

"Empress Dowager, it's still early. There's still time for everything." Nanny Wang comforted.

"Right now, the situation is at the center of controversy. For my part, it would be inappropriate for me to take any action against the Shen family in the short term. In another year, I will have to arrange new people to enter the harem. The emperor is becoming more and more opinionated and is unwilling to listen to me..." Queen Mother Zhao sighed.

Queen Mother Zhao thought that since she couldn't confront the emperor head-on, in order not to destroy the relationship between them mother and son, she still had to place some "hidden" concubines in the harem.

It would be nice if I had the opportunity to whisper in the emperor's ear more often.

"Empress, let's let them be proud for a while. Our emperor is a romantic and dashing emperor. It is impossible for him to favor only one person. It is not uncommon for him to fall out of favor in a blink of an eye. When the newcomer enters the palace, there will always be someone who will be favored. By then, it will be time for Shen to cry!" Nanny Wang said with a smile.

"The queen's pregnancy has not shown any signs of movement yet. Our Concubine Zhao may not have no chance to compete for the queen in the future. Even if Concubine Zhao fails, the Queen Mother can still arrange for someone who can."

When Nanny Wang saw that the empress dowager's expression had eased, she comforted her again.

Queen Mother Zhao nodded. The Zhao family had given so much to them and their son, so she had to do more for them.

The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh!

"Alas! Now that things have come to this, I still have to sigh. It's a pity that Jin Wanyi cannot be used by me!" Queen Dowager Zhao sighed.

Originally, when Queen Mother Zhao, who was of such high status, extended an olive branch to Shen Zhiyao, the little concubine should have obediently accepted it and stood on her side, but she refused.

If he doesn't want to, then don't worry. According to Queen Dowager Zhao's idea, it would be fine if she could just get rid of him, but she can't get rid of him in a short time, and she has to keep it in front of her and worry about it.

This made Queen Mother Zhao really angry.

But what she didn't know was that the emperor didn't want to keep things quiet this time as usual, and there was going to be another disturbance in the harem...

Here, Shen Zhiyao has already arrived at Fengyi Palace.

After the palace maid informed her, the queen was quite considerate and sent Shijin to meet her at the door in person.

He said that the queen was practicing calligraphy in the study, so he took her to the study.

Generally speaking, it was difficult for lower-ranking concubines to see the queen, except to greet her good morning.

Shen Zhiyao is obviously the most special one. Just for this reason, she has surpassed many people in one fell swoop.

When I entered the study, I saw the queen sitting at the desk practicing calligraphy. The sunlight shone on her through the window, making her figure look particularly elegant.

The tip of the pen moving on the rice paper is more vigorous and powerful.

Seeing how focused she was, Shen Zhiyao felt embarrassed to disturb her.

Just when she didn't know what to do, she saw that the queen had stopped writing and was looking at her with a smile, without any airs at all.

Shen Zhiyao did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly greeted him.

"You've been traveling a lot these past few days, and you had a lot of trouble this morning. How is Jin Wanyi? Can she still handle it?" the Queen asked gently.

"Thank you for your concern, Queen. I am a little tired, but fortunately I am young and can withstand the hardship."

Shen Zhiyao stood up and answered, his attitude as respectful as ever.

The queen smiled and teased her in a good mood, "You look really good. I wanted to give you a day off tomorrow morning, but it seems that there is no need."

Shen Zhiyao felt so regretful when she heard this. If she had known earlier, she would have pretended to be pitiful so that she could have a late sleep tomorrow morning!

Although he was upset, it didn't show on his face.

The queen, who always had an icy face, rarely had the interest to tease her, so Shen Zhiyao also intended to say a few words in return.

"I can't wait to pay my respects to the Queen Mother every day! To be honest, I would feel guilty if I didn't take a glance at a woman as beautiful and dignified as the Queen Mother!" Shen Zhiyao said with a smile.

The assorted dishes on the side are too much to look at!

It seems that Jin Wanyi is acting indecently again. How can a good person say such things?

Shijin couldn't help but look up at the ceiling, his eyes rolling up to the sky!

The queen blushed at her teasing and couldn't help feeling annoyed.

The queen still remembered the last time she met Shen Zhiyao by the Taiye Lake and was teased by her until her face turned red.

I wanted to take revenge this time, but I didn't expect to be teased by her again...

Shen Zhiyao couldn't help but think of the time when she teased the Queen by the Taiye Lake, and couldn't help but secretly complain: "The Queen has a good memory, but she is also very narrow-minded!"

How could the Queen know that Shen Zhiyao, as a modern person who traveled through time, was very wild. How could she be his match?

Seeing the Queen's secretly regretful look, Shen Zhiyao didn't dare to tease her too much.

After all, she didn't know the queen's temper well enough. What if she really made her angry? What's more, she came here today to ask the queen for a favor!
