Shen Zhiyao secretly groaned in her heart. She had just joined the Queen's army and was assigned such a difficult task. Judging from the situation, she would have to come here every day to help her copy...

"I will accompany Your Majesty to copy the book right now. It is my honor to copy the unique copy with Your Majesty..." Shen Zhiyao's eyebrows were squeezed together in pain, and she smiled bitterly.

Seeing her like this, the Queen and Shijin couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The queen saw that she was not pretentious at all, and was willing to express her unhappiness in front of her, so she naturally liked her. However, the more uncomfortable Shen Zhiyao felt, the happier the queen felt.

The queen just likes to mess with the concubines in private.

Shijin also smiled and prepared a piece of paper for Shen Zhiyao, feeling secretly happy as well.

In the next two hours, Shen Zhiyao accompanied the Queen in copying books with a sad face, while secretly absorbing knowledge from the books.

Since she had to copy, she copied with her brain and gained a lot.

"Tomorrow, the emperor will take several ministers to the palace horse farm. At that time, he will select some concubines who are good at riding and shooting to go with them. You performed well in the last hunting, so you can go with them." The queen finished copying the last word of a page of the book and stopped writing.

"Yes, I will make good preparations." Shen Zhiyao also stopped writing and said with a smile.

In the meantime, Shijin also brought them some delicious snacks and iced watermelon. It was quite comfortable for them to eat and write at the same time.

Shen Zhiyao really likes the queen. She is not pretentious, generous, and truly virtuous. In the harem, with a boss like her, why should she worry about having a future?

The Queen was also very satisfied with Shen Zhiyao as her copying partner. She was not noisy and was actually more suitable for companionship than Concubine Zhuang and the others. No wonder the Emperor always liked to ask her to accompany him.

"Queen, the Emperor is here."

In the afternoon, the two were happily copying. Shi Jin, with a happy look on his face, came in to report. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Shen Zhiyao.

"Your Majesty, it's time for me to take my leave." Shen Zhiyao bowed.

The emperor rarely came to Fengyi Palace at this time, which surprised the empress a little.

"Okay, you've worked hard today, you may leave now." The queen waved her hand.

Shen Zhiyao bowed and walked out quickly.

"Your Majesty, your servant pays respect to you." Even though Shen Zhiyao walked carefully, she still ran into him in the courtyard.

"Well, my beloved concubine, there is no need to be polite. Are we going back to the palace?" Bo Muxi asked with a smile.

"I'm here to accompany the Empress to copy books. Now that the Emperor is here, I won't disturb him. I'll take my leave first." Shen Zhiyao said with a gentle smile.

Bo Muxi nodded slightly, thinking that when the little concubine needs to be sensible, she is not vague at all.

As soon as Shen Zhiyao left, the Queen packed up and came out to greet her.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty live long and healthy lives." The Queen paid her respects.

The emperor nodded, then reached out to help the queen up, and the two of them walked into the inner room together.

The queen has never been good at pleasing others, and her every move is full of nobility.

The emperor was used to it. Fortunately, they had always been partners and got along well with each other.

The queen had lofty ambitions and did not want to marry into the palace. She wanted to find a talented husband, run a few businesses of her own, and live a more comfortable life. However, things did not always go as she wished, and life was not something she could choose.

When she married Bo Muxi, she was mentally prepared to live a miserable life, with countless calculations and endless worries.

"Did the Queen ask Jin Wanyi to accompany her to copy books just now?" Bo Muxi asked with a smile.

"Jin Wanyi took the initiative to ask that she want to accompany me more in the future. I thought that Jin Wanyi is the daughter of a general, she is knowledgeable and patient, and she is a good match for me. It would be good for me to have more sisters who can help me. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Bo Muxi was secretly moved. Shen Zhiyao was indeed smart. She chose the most correct route and joined the queen.

Of course, Bo Muxi was also satisfied with the queen. If the queen was not capable, how could a woman with Shen Zhiyao's ability and knowledge be willing to join her.

Bo Muxi smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's fine as long as the Queen thinks she's fine. Then the Queen should give her more advice in the future and ask her to stop making earth-shattering moves that would give me a headache."

"Yes, I'll be looking after her, Your Majesty, please rest assured. Also, when you go to the horse farm tomorrow, take her with you. That girl has a lot of clever ideas, and who knows, she might come up with some surprising tricks and bring us some unexpected gains." The Queen's words obviously had something else in mind.

"Well, the Queen is right. Let's do as you say. I will select the ministers myself, and the concubines will be chosen by the Queen." Bo Muxi said with a smile.

"Also, Your Majesty needs to visit Concubine Zhuang more often. No matter how attentive I am, it cannot be compared to your greetings. After all, she is pregnant with the royal heir. Your Majesty can also visit Concubine Zheng more often. This sister has a good family background and can be used in important positions."

The Queen is quite skilled at selling people.

Bo Muxi secretly admired her virtuousness, but also felt that she was too uncompetitive.

Therefore, qualified emperors and empresses are both people with the world in their hearts, and neither of them is the best choice for lovers!

"Thank you for your concern, Queen. I will pay attention and go out more often." The people recommended by the Queen are generally not bad, so Bo Muxi is happy to consider them.

Bo Muxi was in a rare good mood. He had dinner with the Queen and stayed in Fengyi Palace that night.

When everyone heard about this, they were naturally jealous, but this was not a happy event for the queen.

To her, it was just a procedure to continue her family line.

At this moment, in Yongfu Palace, the scene was quite different.

"Shen Wanyi has been in Fengyi Palace again, accompanying the Empress to copy books for a long time?" After hearing what Cuibai said, Concubine Zhuang asked again unwillingly.

She clenched the corner of the table with her right hand angrily, her fingertips turning white from the force.

"When Shijin was delivering something to us just now, he mentioned to me a few words. Maybe it's not allowed. Don't be excited, Your Majesty. You're still pregnant!" Cuibai hurriedly comforted her.

"Is it fun to coax me?" Concubine Zhuang glared at Cui Bai.

"Your servant... Your servant just wants to make the master feel better..." Cui Bai stammered.

Cuibai was very conflicted. She knew that Concubine Zhuang had always cared about the Queen. After receiving this news, it was very difficult for Cuibai to decide whether to tell the Queen or not.

The friendship between two people will seem crowded with one more person.

Concubine Zhuang had a poor family background and her personality was not liked by the emperor. After marrying into the Fourth Prince's Mansion, she lived a life of walking on thin ice and was often bullied.

Only the queen was willing to help her and promote her in front of the emperor, making her life better day by day.

For Concubine Zhuang, the Queen is the beacon that guides her in this dark harem. She only hopes that she is the most important person in the Queen's heart.

And everything seemed to be slipping away from her fingers. The tighter she held on, the faster she lost it.

A trace of hatred could not help but rise in Concubine Zhuang's heart. Before Shen Zhiyao appeared, everything was obviously excellent, and there was a perfect understanding between her and the Queen.

The queen is cold and aloof, and doesn't like to be disturbed by anyone except herself.

Ever since the chance encounter at Taiye Lake, the Queen has obviously paid more attention to and supported Shen Zhiyao. Ironically, it was Concubine Zhuang herself who proposed the night tour of Taiye Lake that day, otherwise, she would not have met Shen Zhiyao.

Shen Zhiyao can not only easily seize the emperor's favor, but also successfully steal the queen's attention!

"Cuibai, assign a smart eunuch to me... and have him keep a close eye on Cuiweixuan..." Concubine Zhuang ordered through gritting her teeth.

No one can take away what she cherishes in her heart. When necessary, she will take action...
