Time Travel: The actress's acting skills exploded, and she was favored by the harem
Chapter 65: New Palace Maid Arrives
The next day, when Bo Muxi got up, Shen Zhiyao woke up again, so she got up to serve him. She was a very light sleeper and was on guard.
As Shen Zhiyao was fixing Bo Muxi's belt, she pouted and acted like a spoiled child, "Your Majesty only knows how to 'bully' me. I almost couldn't get up this morning!"
Her behavior actually satisfied Bo Muxi's evil taste, and he just wanted to bully her even harder next time.
Bo Muxi couldn't help but pinch Shen Zhiyao's soft cheeks and smiled gently, "I'll keep them in mind, my beloved concubine. I'll definitely save up a big reward for you when the time comes."
"Then I would like to thank the emperor first!" Shen Zhiyao pretended to be very happy on the surface, but there was no ripple in her heart. If you don't have expectations, you won't be disappointed.
After they had packed up, Bo Muxi went to the morning court, and Shen Zhiyao also hurried to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects.
Shen Zhiyao had been accompanying the emperor since the afternoon yesterday, breaking the "length of time sleeping with the emperor" record in the palace. When she paid her respects today, she was naturally targeted by everyone.
But Shen Zhiyao was not at all intimidated. She had a good attitude, quick reactions and eloquence, so she just had to wait for others to "give themselves the head".
"Tsk tsk, Sister Shen is amazing. Now she can go to the imperial study to accompany the emperor! She is said to be accompanying the emperor properly, but she also sleeps with the emperor at night!" Lady Qi was the first to criticize.
This statement is worth pondering. It is meant to satirize Shen Zhiyao, who was summoned to accompany the emperor but used tricks to prolong the time and took up the opportunity of other concubines to sleep with him.
This is really an attempt to bring hatred to Shen Zhiyao.
Shen Zhiyao smiled calmly and said, "Yes, it's a rare opportunity for me to go to Changde Palace, so I naturally don't want to go back to Cuiweixuan easily. I have to thank the emperor for his tolerance and willingness to keep me for a while!"
Shen Zhiyao was even more sarcastic than the beauty, intending to mock her for never having the chance to accompany the emperor to Changdeok Palace.
Concubine Qi was so choked that she was speechless. She was angry but couldn't say anything, so she could only look at Concubine Zhao who was sitting on the side.
Concubine Zhao is not stupid. After all, Shen Zhiyao's "family letter forgery scandal" has not been completely resolved. She does not want to get involved in the fight between them, so as not to get herself into trouble.
It was really not worth it, so Concubine Zhao just drank her tea leisurely without even looking at Concubine Qi. She paid her last respects to the Queen this morning, and from tomorrow on, she would be under house arrest.
After being rejected, Lady Qi could only make a few sarcastic remarks and did not dare to do anything excessive.
But she was completely embarrassed, and Lady Qi gritted her teeth and made up her mind to find an opportunity to make Shen Zhiyao suffer a great loss!
The queen probably didn't sleep well the whole night, and she looked listless when she came. She exchanged a few words with them casually and then sent everyone away.
The Queen's efficiency was indeed high. As soon as Shen Zhiyao returned to Cuiweixuan, she saw the two palace maids she had asked the Queen for before, Liao Rao, who was knowledgeable in pharmacology, and Zhuo Yi, who did odd jobs in the Shang Gong Bureau, were already waiting in the hall.
Both of them were dressed somewhat shabbily. Their clothes looked old and the colors had faded a lot from washing. Their shoes were also badly worn out. Even their eyes revealed a deep sense of timidity and helplessness.
It seems that these two people have suffered a lot in the palace. Without a master to serve them, they are not even as good as a third-class palace maid.
The palace maids of Zhao State had no chance to leave the palace before they were thirty years old. Even if they reached the age of thirty, they had to have their masters show special favor, otherwise they could only grit their teeth and endure in the palace until they died.
"Maid Liao Rao and servant Zhuo Yi, kowtow to Jin Wanyi." Seeing Shen Zhiyao coming, the two of them knelt down hurriedly to pay their respects.
"Get up. I won't beat around the bush. The day before yesterday, I asked the Queen to ask you two to come to Cuiweixuan to serve. Are you willing? If you have other plans, just tell me and I will choose someone else." Shen Zhiyao said gently.
Liao Rao reacted very quickly. Upon hearing this, she knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Jin Wanyi, I am willing to serve you like a cow or a horse. I will serve you wholeheartedly. This is truly the blessing I have earned in my previous life. From now on, I will only be loyal to Jin Wanyi!"
Zhuo Yi also knelt down and kowtowed: "This servant is willing to swear allegiance to Jin Wanyi until death. From now on, this servant will only have Jin Wanyi as her master. I am willing to go through fire and water for Madam Wanyi!"
Both of them come from poor families and do not have much salary. Jing, who is in charge of the filial piety bureau, has been bullied to death by the eunuch in recent days.
But they are only in their early twenties, and they don’t want to endure being bullied in the palace. Who doesn’t want to live a glorious life?
For them, being able to serve the favored Shen Zhiyao was like a blessing from their ancestors, and it was truly a great blessing.
"Okay!" Shen Zhiyao stepped forward to help them up, and asked with a smile: "In this case, you will belong to me from now on. I will promote you to third-class palace maids, give you new names, and completely separate you from the past. How do you think?"
"The maid is willing. Please give her a name, Master." The two said in unison.
"From now on, Liao Rao will be called Zhe Ni, and Zhuo Xi will be called Xin Cai! I wish you could wash away all the worldly things and start anew." Shen Zhiyao said with a smile.
The two of them knelt down again to express their gratitude. Such a great thing had just happened to them. I wonder how many poor maids in the palace must be envious!
Shen Zhiyao rewarded each of them with twenty taels of silver, and ordered Qiuyue to buy some extra fine fabrics to make more new clothes.
Zhe Ni and Xin Cai were naturally grateful. How could they not be attentive when they met such a generous and kind master? Only when Shen Zhiyao rose to prominence could they enjoy the good life.
Zhe Ni immediately checked Cuiweixuan carefully inside and out, but found nothing suspicious.
Xincai was not willing to be left behind, so she started sewing the latest sachet for Shen Zhiyao.
That night, Chu An also began to get active and started to inquire about the news in the palace. When he returned to the pavilion, he brought a message to Shen Zhiyao, saying that the emperor went to stay overnight in the palace of Concubine Zhuang.
Everyone in Cuiweixuan felt a little regretful that they couldn't sleep with Shen Zhiyao continuously, but Shen Zhiyao maintained a very good attitude.
In this harem, the emperor has too many factors to weigh and consider, so how could he only favor her every day?
It's good to cool down from time to time. It's the ups and downs that make life interesting.
In Yongfu Palace, Concubine Zhuang welcomed Bo Muxi with great joy. In the past few days, her pregnancy became more and more obvious, and the child would kick her from time to time, which made her feel very at ease.
When Bo Muxi saw that there were many new faces serving in Yongfu Palace, he knew what was going on. It seemed that the Queen was determined to protect this baby.
Since it was the Queen's intention and Concubine Zhuang had always been very disciplined, it didn't matter to him if he fulfilled their wish.
That night, Bo Muxi did not let Concubine Zhuang sleep with him. The two of them stayed with each other respectfully all night.
However, Shu Ningxuan had a very uneasy night. Concubine Qi had lost face in Fengyi Palace during the day, and he heard that in the afternoon, the Queen personally sent someone to deliver a new maid to Cui Weixuan.
Concubine Qi entered the palace together with Shen Zhiyao, and she started earlier than her. She should have been more favored than her. But now, Shen Zhiyao has surpassed her, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger. How can Concubine Qi accept this!
Concubine Qi pondered for a long time, and suddenly remembered a "funny story" told to her by a maid when she and the other concubines accompanied the emperor on a hunting trip. This story was definitely worth "making a big fuss about".
Lady Qi smiled maliciously and thought to herself, "Ms. Shen, I want to see how long you can be so arrogant."
