After a while, Shen Zhiyao was just about to take a nap when Lin En came to Cuiweixuan again.

Lin En bowed and greeted with a smile. Several young eunuchs followed behind him, carrying something covered with yellow cloth.

Shen Zhiyao sneered and joked, "Eunuch Lin En, are you here to deliver the Emperor's reward? It's not something you picked out yourself and just gave to me casually, right?"

Lin En was used to her temper and was not surprised. He smiled and said, "Look at what you said, my lady. These were all carefully selected by the emperor himself! Anyway, they are all excellent. If you don't believe me, my lady, take a look!"

After saying that, he held it in both hands and presented a note.

Shen Zhiyao took the note with a smile and thought, what kind of habit is this, why does Bo Muxi love writing little notes so much!

Opening the note, the powerful handwriting jumped out: I asked someone to find some good things, guaranteed to be good! My beloved concubine, please take a look. If you don’t like it, I will change it for you! In addition, I also specially gave General Shen a yellow jacket to show my appreciation.

In fact, when Shen Zhiyao saw the yellow jacket, she felt that even if the emperor really picked something at random to deal with her, it would not be a loss.

The yellow jacket was not something that a minister could easily obtain. Only those ministers who had made outstanding contributions and were recognized by the emperor could receive this honor.

It represents the emperor's absolute trust and extreme favor.

Shen Zhiyao smiled very gently. In front of Lin En, she carefully folded the note and put it in her arms.

Lin En watched and laughed in his heart, thinking that Empress Jin Wanyi was really hypocritical and she must be very fond of the Emperor!

"You've come a long way. Eunuch Lin En, have some tea and rest before you go."

While inviting Lin En to have tea, Shen Zhiyao walked forward and personally lifted the yellow cloth covering the thing.

Covered underneath is a box of specially made rouge, powder and eyebrow pencil, packed in a huanghuali box inlaid with gold edges, which looks precious.

"When the emperor chose this item, he specifically said that Jin Wanyi is the best at dressing up, and only the most precious eyebrows are worthy of you!" Lin En chased after him and said flatteringly.

Shen Zhiyao smiled and nodded, then opened the box in front of everyone. Instantly, a fresh floral scent wafted over. The texture of her eyebrow pencil and rouge was so delicate, it was rare in the palace.

Qiuyue and other palace maids couldn't help but feel happy when they saw it. Cuiweixuan had received many rewards from the emperor. Now even what the palace maids in the pavilion wore and used were far better than those of other unfavored concubines in the palace.

Therefore, all the palace maids serving in Cuiweixuan are dedicated and loyal. They are already living better than the concubines who are not doing so well, so how dare they betray their master?

Bo Muxi spent a lot of money this time. The rewards included things of all sizes, including cloth, jade bracelets, and gold hairpins, but the most eye-catching one was a set of Go.

When Shen Zhiyao saw it, her eyes lit up and she immediately focused all her attention on them.

Lin En looked at it and secretly sighed that Shen Zhiyao was a connoisseur of value.

"Your Majesty, this Go set is not simple. It was specially given to Your Majesty by the Prince of Ying State when he played against Your Majesty for the last time before he left. I would like to dare to introduce it to you." Lin En said with a flattering smile.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, father-in-law." Shen Zhiyao felt so loved that she kept stroking the chessboard and chess pieces with her hands.

"This Go set has 361 pieces, which symbolize perfection. The black pieces are made of black jade from Hetian jade, and the white pieces are made of mutton-fat white jade. Both are top-quality Hetian jade with fine quality. It took a year just to select the materials! It took another four years to polish them by hand. They are truly precious!"

Lin En held the black and white pieces in his hands and introduced them in a very clear and logical manner, which stunned Chu An and the others.

"As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle, and a good boat deserves a sail. Madam, this chessboard is even more extraordinary. It is made of extremely precious golden nanmu wood inlaid with gold threads, and the sides of the chessboard are all carved with rare and exotic animals, which are lifelike and exquisite."

Lin En held the chessboard carefully and spoke with great excitement.

"I will always remember the kindness your Majesty has shown me. I will cherish and use these things. Thank you, eunuch, for conveying your message to me." Shen Zhiyao said with a smile.

"I will definitely convey your Majesty's wishes." Lin En bowed.

Shen Zhiyao gave Chuan a wink, and the latter understood and took out an exquisite brocade bag.

Shen Zhiyao took it, handed it to Lin En, and said with a smile: "I asked Qiuyue to give silver to the eunuchs who moved the things. This is what I gave to the eunuchs alone. You keep it."

"Oh, my lady, you are so polite, your servant..."

Lin En and Shen Zhiyao pushed and grappled for a while before happily accepting it. The emperor also said that since it was a reward from Jin Wanyi, they could accept it with peace of mind.

Afterwards, Lin En was escorted out of Cuiweixuan by Chu An. On the way, he couldn't help but open the brocade bag and take a look. There were actually several exquisitely carved gold beans.

Lin'en smacked his lips, put it happily in his arms, and went back to Changdeok Palace to report.

In the imperial study, Bo Muxi had already met with several trusted ministers and worked out an implementation plan for the "Enfeoffment Order". At this moment, he was concentrating on reviewing memorials.

"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty. I have completed the matter you asked me to do. Empress Jin Wanyi is very happy!"

Afterwards, Lin En returned the favor by delivering all the words that Shen Zhiyao wanted to convey to the emperor, and even added fuel to the fire by secretly saying a lot of good things about Shen Zhiyao.

The emperor's personal servants have this privilege. Saying one more word, one less word, or deliberately adding some tone when speaking will affect the emperor's judgment.

Shen Zhiyao was well aware of this matter, so she was naturally willing to spend time and money on Lin En.

Bo Muxi listened very seriously and said with a smile: "Among the women in the palace, she is the hardest to fool. If I give her some vulgar things, she will definitely look down on me."

After Bo Muxi finished speaking, he couldn't help but smiled and shook his head, looking quite helpless.

Lin'en also realized that in the harem, the only person who could make the emperor helpless was Jin Wanyi, apart from the queen.

She was able to actually obtain the precious "trophies" that the emperor got from the Prince of Ying State, which shows how important she is in the emperor's heart!

Lin En was very tactful. He took the opportunity to praise Shen Zhiyao a few more words, and then hurriedly reported the reward he had received from Shen Zhiyao to the emperor truthfully.

Lin En remembered vividly the last time Bo Muxi tested Shen Zhiyao, so he dared not hide anything anymore.

Bo Muxi looked at the golden beans carefully and found them to be rare treasures. He suddenly smiled and returned them to Lin En.

I thought to myself that Shen Zhiyao was truly a woman with an extraordinary mind. The things she rewarded her servants were so unique. She was indeed a woman who knew what was good and had a good taste.

Bo Muxi suddenly no longer felt sorry for her set of Go, because she was noble and should be given the most expensive one.

At this time, in Yuquan Palace, Concubine Zhao frowned slightly and slammed the teacup heavily on the table. The teacup rolled several times, and the tea and tea leaves were scattered all over the table, and some even rolled onto her beautiful skirt.

Dai Tao hurried forward to wipe her clean and advised: "My Lady, please calm down!"

Concubine Zhao asked angrily, "Your Majesty actually gave the chess set that the Prince of Ying gave him to Jin Wanyi?"
