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

The Queen thought for a moment and said, "Ms. Zheng has been in the palace for more than a year. She has always been obedient and well-behaved, and has served the Emperor wholeheartedly. Your Majesty, do you think it's time to promote her to the position of Baolin?"

When these words were spoken, all the concubines were greatly surprised. Zheng Yu'nu had been in the palace for a year and had only been favored by the emperor a few times. She herself was aloof and naturally would not depend on others, and she had never been close to the queen. She really did not expect that the queen would propose to promote her.

Bo Muxi couldn't help but nod in agreement. The Queen really understood him. Zheng Yu'nu was the daughter of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Zheng Yi was a key figure. He had had this idea for a long time, but he just lacked a reason.

The emperor smiled and said, "My daughter is both virtuous and talented, and she abides by her duties. Since the queen has proposed it, I will approve it. Zheng Yunu will be promoted to Baolin."

Before coming, no one had ever thought that participating in a flower-viewing party would give them a chance for promotion. Seeing that there was still one spot left for a newcomer, several concubines who had just entered the palace were eagerly looking forward to it, hoping that the queen would promote them.

Especially Concubine Qi, who was so nervous that she tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand. She looked at the Queen and couldn't help but look at Concubine Zhao, hoping that Concubine Zhao could help her at this time. But how could Concubine Zhao say good things for her at this time?

Shen Zhiyao admired in her heart that the queen's demeanor was indeed extraordinary! She had a good overall view and knew how to increase bargaining chips for the emperor. She was indeed the emperor's capable assistant. No wonder she could work hard with the emperor all the way and sit firmly on the throne of queen from princess.

Zheng Baolin was almost overwhelmed by this unexpected good news. She quickly stood up, knelt down, and thanked him, saying, "I thank the emperor and the queen for their grace. From now on, I will do my best to fulfill my duties and will never dare to let down the emperor and the queen's kindness. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and a thousand years and a thousand years and a thousand years for the queen!"

"Your Majesty, there is a newcomer. I am quite optimistic about him. He has been in the palace for more than a year. I think it is time to make some moves." The Queen rested her hand lightly on the back of the chair. Every word she spoke was like a gem, and her whole body exuded a calm and luxurious aura.

Bo Muxi couldn't think of which concubine she wanted to push for a moment, but the queen was always calm and decent in her handling of things. No matter who she wanted to move, it would be okay to give her face. After all, the queen had done enough for him and was a very qualified "ally".

The newcomers who had hopes of promotion were now staring at the queen nervously, their eyes full of hope.

"Shen Baolin has been in the palace for more than a year. He is beautiful, intelligent, and kind. A few days ago, he was framed by servants for no reason. He is such a poor boy. Shouldn't we do something to comfort him?" The queen smiled. The queen, who was always dignified, was playful for once.

Looking at the queen with such a broad mind, Bo Muxi felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, which was extremely complicated.

The queen never seemed to be jealous. She could always guess Bo Muxi's intentions and recommend the most appropriate person at the right time. Bo Muxi should be happy to have such a virtuous wife, but he really couldn't like her. He also had the vanity of a normal man.

The queen's proposal shocked the concubines even more.

Concubine Zhao was so upset that her fingers, which were clenched tightly around the back of the chair, had turned white. Was the Queen crazy? She recommended a new person who the Emperor was obviously interested in so quickly. Did she really not have any sense of crisis?

Concubine Zhao looked at Bo Muxi again. She hoped so much that the emperor would reject the queen's proposal, but even she herself knew that there was no way the emperor would stop the queen.

"The Queen's suggestion is very good. The Queen is kind and has always known how to treat the concubines well." In fact, Bo Muxi had already had feelings for Shen Zhiyao, and the Queen's suggestion of this matter was very much to his liking.

"Then Shen Baolin will be promoted to Lady Shen. Beauty... her appearance is very consistent with Shen's. She is indeed a beauty who can surpass the moon and flowers in shame." Bo Muxi teased in a rare good mood.

Shen Zhiyao smiled shyly, stood up and bowed to express her gratitude: "Thank you very much, Queen. Thank you very much, Queen. I will serve you and Queen wholeheartedly in the future. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and a thousand years and a thousand years for the Queen."

Being promoted to a beauty, on the surface, is just an advancement from the seventh rank to the regular seventh rank, which is only a half-level promotion, but it is a leap in class.

Beauties can receive the emperor in the palace. From now on, Shen Zhiyao will no longer have to be sent to the emperor's palace to sleep with him.

A beauty of the seventh rank also had the opportunity to be taken by the Queen to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. Only at this position could she be considered a concubine officially recognized by the Empress Dowager.

All the concubines congratulated the newly promoted Shen Meiren and Zheng Baolin. Although it was quite reluctant, the scenes were well-made.

Through this promotion, Shen Zhiyao not only felt the emperor's love for her, but also felt the queen's kindness towards her.

Although the emperor likes him quite a bit, he is cold-hearted by nature and never considers the impact his actions will have on Shen Zhiyao. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he always brings hatred to Shen Zhiyao.

On the other hand, the queen, who was usually cold and sullen, knew how to make up an excuse that she was pitiful because she was wrongly accused when she was conferring the title on herself, which invisibly reduced the hatred for herself.

The emperor and the empress, the two masters of the power of life and death in the harem, seem to be in harmony on the surface, but in fact they have very different styles of doing things. How can the harem be peaceful? Some people cannot see the truth until they die.

The Imperial Garden was very lively at this time. After a while, the emperor became even more interested and called several princes and meritorious officials to come to the Imperial Garden with their families to enjoy the music. Soon, the banquet became bigger and bigger, and even the Queen Mother Zhao was invited.

For concubines of low rank like Shen Zhiyao, this was the first time they had the honor of meeting the empress dowager since entering the palace. They were considered very lucky.

Although the emperor was usually cold-hearted, he was very filial when he met the empress dowager. He not only greeted her in person, but also took care of her very attentively.

Zhao Qing, the Grand Secretary of the Palace, also came with his eldest daughter, saying that he wanted his daughter to perform a dance for the emperor.

Zhao Qing's eldest daughter was wearing a golden-red long skirt, her skin was as white as cream and her waist was as thin as a slender waist. When she danced, her eyes were full of longing, and her dance moves were graceful, showing all kinds of charm.

After the song ended, the woman played a piece of music called "High Mountains and Flowing Water" on the piano. Her charm was enhanced by a more extraordinary temperament, which amazed everyone.

After the performance, Zhao Qing could not wait to step forward and greet him, "Your Majesty, I am not talented enough to show my ugliness in front of you. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Zhao Qing's intention was obvious, and Bo Muxi understood it. He laughed loudly and said, "Master Zhao is too modest. Your daughter is very talented and her dancing and piano skills are amazing."

Shen Zhiyao thought that this scholar Zhao came here today specifically to recommend his own daughter. There was a precedent for this in Zhao State. The daughters of the marquises and officials could skip the selection process and be directly recommended to enter the palace.

Therefore, there were more powerful young ladies from official families in the harem, and the struggles became more brutal. Of course, there were also some concubines from grassroots backgrounds who rose to power, such as Concubine Kang of Wei, who was able to thrive thanks to her own abilities.

But today, Zhao Qing took advantage of the opportunity to come to the Imperial Garden to "recommend a girl". His purpose was too obvious. I wonder if this petty-minded emperor will bear a grudge against him?
