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

"Empress, if everything is fine, can't I come to Fengyi Palace to see you?" Shen Zhiyao smiled, took the initiative to step forward, and skillfully served the pen and ink.

Shijin glared at her from behind. Wasn't it enough that he bothered her enough when she came to copy Buddhist scriptures some time ago? Why did he come here again?

"Just sit down. Jin Wanyi is deeply favored by the emperor. How can I let you serve her?" The queen stopped writing and looked at Shen Zhiyao with a look of rejection on her face.

Shen Zhiyao couldn't help but complain in her heart: One by one, they all like to test others. It turns out that if they are not from the same family, they will not enter the same door!

"I must have done something wrong to make the Empress angry. It is an honor I have earned to serve the Empress with her writing. Are you not going to give me this opportunity?" Shen Zhiyao asked with a face full of grievance.

The queen smiled brightly when she heard this, put her pen on the inkstone, stroked the "Chronicle of Zhao State" on the desk, and said with a smile: "From now on, you can come whenever you want. You always test me, which shows that you are not sincere enough."

Shijin was speechless when he heard this. The Queen never promised any concubine to "come whenever she wants". How could Shen Zhiyao be worthy of her? Compared with Concubine Zhuang, she was far inferior!

In comparison, Shijin prefers Concubine Zhuang, who is always thinking about the Queen, while Shen Zhiyao is a little more cunning, so she doesn't like her very much.

"This is something you promised yourself, Your Majesty. I will have to bother you often in the future. By the way, do you like this book "Chronicles of Zhao State"? You are so busy with work, do you still need to copy it yourself?" Shen Zhiyao's face was full of curiosity.

"Before you entered the palace, there was a flood in the palace, causing some rare books in the 'Collection Pavilion' to be burned. This 'Chronicle of Zhao State' was lucky enough to escape the disaster. The emperor ordered the civil officials to copy the rare copy, which was indeed a huge project. I only chose this book." The queen said sadly.

It is not difficult to see that there was another hidden story behind the fire in the collection pavilion, and the queen was indeed feeling sorry for the rare classic books that were burned.

"I am a concubine with limited knowledge. In my opinion, copying a single copy requires a lot of time and energy. During this period, it is also important to be careful to prevent the next accidental mistake." Shen Zhiyao said seriously.

Upon hearing this, the Queen stared at Shen Zhiyao with twinkling eyes and whispered, "I feel that I failed in my duty regarding the fire in the harem, and I am copying books to remind myself from time to time. You are right, but there are so many affairs in the palace that even if I had six arms, it would be difficult for me to handle everything!"

As the queen spoke, she couldn't help but hold her forehead, but her eyes secretly glanced at Shen Zhiyao through the cuffs of Pipa.

"Empress, do you remember what you asked me that night when we met by chance while walking by the Taiye Lake?"

Shen Zhiyao keenly noticed her stealing glances at him and asked with a smile.

"Of course I remember." The Queen raised her eyes and stared at Shen Zhiyao.

She hinted at Shen Zhiyao to join her camp at that time, but so much time has passed and she has never received a positive response. The queen was very patient and never forced her.

"I have observed carefully for a long time and considered a lot. I really admire the Queen's talent and virtue. If I agree to your request at this time, will you think that I have too many concerns and respond too slowly?" Shen Zhiyao asked seriously.

Shijin was shocked when he heard this. Is Jin Wanyi going to surrender to the Queen?

Shijin used to think that Shen Zhiyao was too cunning, always trying to get something for free from their queen by taking advantage of the situation, so she disliked her very much. But now, it seems that she is not so hateful.

Shijin couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. Their queen was of course the most worthy ally to rely on, but the queen was very picky and would not easily accept outsiders.

"Of course not. In my opinion, it would be safer to be more careful. If you were a frivolous person, I would not dare to accept you easily!" The Queen glanced at Shijin and motioned for her to change the tea.

Shijin understood what she meant, removed the two celadon teacups on the coffee table, put on the Empress's favorite Longquan celadon lotus leaf cup, replaced the tea with new one, and then stepped aside.

During this period, the Queen and Shen Zhiyao sat in silence. The Queen saw that she looked relaxed and contented, and was very patient, and was very satisfied.

The Queen tapped the tea table twice with her index and middle fingers, signaling Shen Zhiyao to have a sip of tea.

Then he picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked calmly: "But if you follow me, there will inevitably be more complicated and difficult things. If you can form your own faction, it will also be a good choice. Have you thought about it?"

Shen Zhiyao's eyebrows suddenly jumped when she heard this. Was the Queen hinting to her that she could win over some people and form another force?

However, only a fool would have such thoughts. If you don't become a queen, you will be trapped in trivial matters in the palace and will not be able to accomplish anything big.

"Since I'm here, I've made up my mind. I've made up my mind to risk everything. I hope the Queen will have mercy on me."

There was no extra expression on Shen Zhiyao's face at this moment. She looked at the queen with unusual concentration and seriousness.

"Okay, I understand." The queen smiled, put down the teacup, and gently patted the back of Shen Zhiyao's hand with her slender fingers.

Shen Zhiyao knew that the Queen had expressed her stance and officially accepted her.

Since then, Shen Zhiyao has officially joined the Queen's Team, but this does not mean that she can sit back and relax in the future. On the contrary, the changes and challenges she will face will only increase.

"I have always adhered to the principle of preferring to have nothing than to have someone with something unworthy. As of today, you only have three sisters left: Imperial Concubine Zhuang, Wan Shurong, and Imperial Concubine Lu. I will take you to get to know them more often in the future," said the Queen.

Shen Zhiyao was greatly surprised to hear that Wan Shurong, who always prided herself on being low-key and neutral, was also a member of the Queen's team. She secretly sighed that the Queen's vision in selecting people was indeed unique.

"Yes, I will follow the Queen's arrangements." Shen Zhiyao answered very obediently.

"I heard that the emperor rewarded you with a set of Go. I know that the emperor likes that set very much, so I am quite curious." The queen tapped the back of the chair with her fingers, waiting patiently for Shen Zhiyao's answer.

Shen Zhiyao thought about it for a moment and thought that he only needed to hide the fact that he had hidden the political advice in the chess game from her, and he could confess everything else to her.

So Shen Zhiyao told the Queen in detail about the game of chess with the Emperor yesterday.

When the Queen heard that Bo Muxi had actually figured out the "Enfeoffment Order" from the chess game, she was surprised but relieved.

Since it has solved the emperor's long-standing concern, no matter how valuable the reward is, it would not be excessive.

Through this incident, the Queen became even more convinced that Shen Zhiyao was definitely a rare treasure, and she felt that it was a great thing to accept her.

"Since you are here today, I am very happy. There is no need for you to serve me with writing materials. Just accompany me to copy the 'Chronicle of Zhao State' so that I won't be lonely." The queen smiled and pointed to the scroll on the table.
