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

"Your Majesty, I have been a soldier for half my life, and I have devoted myself to the country and the people, and even more to Your Majesty! I have absolutely no selfish motives, please understand my words!"

Zhu Cheng cursed Shen Zhiyao several times in his heart, but she was a concubine after all, and no matter how angry she was, she dared not act rashly. She could only pretend to be very aggrieved and cry to the emperor.

"Okay, General Zhu, how can I not understand you? Jin Wanyi is just like that. After all, you are her uncle, so don't take her words to heart!" Bo Muxi laughed and tried to smooth things over in public.

"Your Majesty, I feel extremely wronged! My horse was frightened, but it was not my fault. General Zhu's overt and covert remarks are all implying that I am not good at riding and shooting. I really don't accept this!" Shen Zhiyao pursed her lips.

"Stop messing around! General Zhu means well." Bo Muxi waved his hand, looking displeased.

"I don't want to lose face for His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress. I am willing to make another appointment to compete with Sister Zhu Baolin!" Shen Zhiyao said in a tender voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Baolin was secretly delighted, and he just hoped that the emperor would agree so that he could deal with Jin Wanyi openly!

When she first went to the hunting ground, she was already feeling unwell due to the fatigue of the journey, and the unfamiliar environment made her even more nervous, which was why she fell behind.

In fact, Zhu Baolin's riding and archery skills are very superb among women. Now that she is competing in the palace horse farm that she is more familiar with, it should be no problem for her to beat Shen Zhiyao!

"This..." Bo Muxi had heard a little about Zhu Baolin's strength and was not optimistic that Shen Zhiyao could win.

He looked at the queen hesitantly, as if he wanted to ask for her opinion.

"I admire your majesty's courage, but I don't know when to make an appointment?" Zhu Cheng said with a smile.

Although he looked kind with a smile on his face, every word he said was meant to deliberately provoke Shen Zhiyao's emotions.

"I once hunted a stag with Jin Wanyi. Jin Wanyi was not only an accurate archer on horseback, but also able to remain calm in critical moments. But I have also heard that Zhu Baolin's riding and archery skills are very superb. I have also seen her play polo several times, and she was very heroic..."

The Queen looked into Shen Zhiyao's eyes and said seriously.

Shen Zhiyao knew that the Queen was telling her not to fight against a strong opponent with an egg and to retreat when necessary.

"Your Majesty, I am not acting out of anger. I also respect and admire General Zhu, who has made great military achievements. I just want to prove to you that the women of Zhao Kingdom are not as weak as those of other countries. Zhu Baolin has been specially trained since childhood and can do it. Although I have never received special training, I can still do it!"

Shen Zhiyao gazed deeply into the Queen's eyes and said with great determination.

Seeing that the queen remained silent, Shen Zhiyao added, "Queen, the people of Zhao have always been open-minded, unlike other countries that are conservative. Some women in the northern border of our country began to share the worries of their country and began to make a living on horseback when they were young. Although General Zhu has seen a lot of this, he still does not agree with it in his heart. If General Zhu is like this, what about other adults? As a concubine, I should restore the reputation of the women of Zhao."

"Your Majesty has misunderstood me. I have no intention of looking down on women. I am deeply terrified." Zhu Cheng bowed and spoke nicely, but there was no fear in his tone.

Shen Zhiyao just looked at Zhu Cheng and smiled without saying a word.

The Queen looked at Shen Zhiyao for a long time, smiled with relief, turned to Bo Muxi, and said, "In my opinion, this is not a bad thing. Since both parties are willing to compete, Your Majesty should just agree! Just give Jin Wanyi and Zhu Baolin a chance!"

Bo Muxi smiled and asked loudly, "Jin Wanyi, Zhu Baolin, have you thought about it carefully? If I agree to this, I will not be able to back down easily."

Shen Zhiyao smiled slyly and bowed, "Your Majesty, I will never regret it. However, I know that my skills are not good enough, so I still need a few more days to prepare."

"It is my great honor to compete with Jin Wanyi. I will never regret it!"

When everyone heard this, they all sneered in their hearts, thinking that Shen Zhiyao was too arrogant. The skills of riding and archery have always been difficult to improve. Even a man with extraordinary talents would not dare to make such a boast, let alone Shen Zhiyao!

In the eyes of everyone, this is obviously nonsense!

"Okay! Then let me ask you, how many days do you want to prepare?" Bo Muxi asked Shen Zhiyao in a serious voice.

"Your Majesty, I only need two days to prepare. If it takes longer, General Zhu will accuse me of cheating!" Shen Zhiyao joked half-seriously.

"Your humble servant is terrified. Your Majesty can postpone it until any time you want. How could I say such treasonous words!" Zhu Cheng bowed and explained.

"Okay, General Zhu, I know what you mean and I will naturally not misunderstand you!" Shen Zhiyao said with a smile.

She stared into Zhu Cheng's eyes, implying that she was telling him: Stop pretending, I already know what's going on in your mind.

"Your Majesty is so generous." Zhu Cheng bowed with a smile.

Zhu Cheng naturally understood the hint, but he was just pretending to be stupid.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, apart from today, I still need two days to prepare. The time of the competition will be entirely arranged by Your Majesty." Shen Zhiyao bowed.

"That will be two days later, still at the Harem Horse Farm." Bo Muxi looked around and said, "Everyone present will participate!"

After Bo Muxi finished speaking, he looked at the Queen and Shen Zhiyao with a complicated expression, thinking: Jin Wanyi is really something! She can always find something to do for me, and the Queen is the same, not only does she not stop it, but she also indulges it!

"Your Majesty, something went wrong today. I'm sure everyone is tired. Why don't you let everyone go back and rest early?" The Queen asked for advice with a smile.

"Well, the Queen is right. My dear ministers and concubines, please go your separate ways!" Bo Muxi waved his hand, called for the imperial sedan chair, and sat on it and left.

"Your servants...your concubines, respectfully send off the emperor..." Everyone knelt down and sent him off respectfully.

After the emperor left, the ministers felt it was inconvenient to stay with the female members of the family, so they hurriedly said goodbye to the empress and concubines and left in a hurry.

"Jin Wanyi is so confident that she thinks she can compete with me in just two days. I guess she has some tricks up her sleeve?" Zhu Baolin asked Shen Zhiyao in a sarcastic tone after he stood up.

Zhu Baolin was quite confident in her riding and archery skills. When she looked at Shen Zhiyao at this moment, she seemed to be looking down on her defeated opponent.

"Zhu Baolin, you're joking. You've practiced riding and archery for many years, but have you ever seen anyone win by cheating? Zhu Baolin, just prepare well and stop thinking about unnecessary things." Shen Zhiyao said bluntly.

"Of course." Zhu Baolin looked at Shen Zhiyao coldly and said through gritted teeth.

"However, Jin Wanyi, you have to do your best. I am a very serious person. I will not deliberately give in to you just because Jin Wanyi is favored!" Zhu Baolin changed his mind and said with a smile.

"Of course I will do my best to deal with it, and Zhu Baolin doesn't have to give in to me. In this world, if there is only one person who is willing to give in, the emperor, I will be satisfied. My sister has practiced riding and shooting for many years and has never been in trouble. How can I have the nerve to ask you to give in to her?" Shen Zhiyao sneered.

What this means is that I am favored by the emperor, and you have finally got such an opportunity to come to the fore. If I ask you to give in, I would be too inhumane!

Zhu Baolin stared at Shen Zhiyao fiercely, sneered a few times, then paid his respects to the Queen, held the hand of the palace maid, and left angrily.

The other concubines also paid their respects and left one after another.

"You, you have to cause these things. If something goes wrong, how will it end?"

After everyone left, the queen shook her head and looked at Shen Zhiyao. It was hard to tell whether her tone was one of worry or blame.
