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

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will never embarrass you!" Shen Zhiyao still smiled brightly.

Shen Zhiyao's words were sincere. After all, she had just joined the Queen's side, and she absolutely could not cause trouble or embarrass her.

Shen Zhiyao was very confident. She had to improve her "achievements" in the team as soon as possible so as to increase her "reputation".

How can I refuse a head that is delivered to my door?

Shijin kept shaking his head and sighed, Jin Wanyi really knows how to cause trouble for her master!

"Is there anything I can help you with? Just tell me." The queen said helplessly.

"I really need your help!" Shen Zhiyao smiled sweetly and asked, "I need a skilled blacksmith, carpenter, and leatherworker to help me make something, but I really don't know where to find them. Can the Queen show me the way?"

"Is there anything else needed for the competition of riding and archery?" the queen asked her suspiciously.

"I really need to make some auxiliary items. Otherwise, I am not a genius. It is impossible for me to beat Zhu Baolin, who has been studying riding and archery since he was a child, in just two days!" Shen Zhiyao said with her peach blossom eyes blinking.

"I am really curious about what you are going to make that can improve your strength so quickly in a short period of time?" The queen's eyes were full of inquiry, as if she was determined to get to the bottom of it.

Shen Zhiyao originally wanted to avoid people, but at the moment, there were many things she couldn't do on her own.

Moreover, there was no need for her to do it behind the queen's back. Since they had become allies, basic trust was still necessary.

"If the Queen is really interested in knowing, I will tell you every detail. But this is not the place to discuss business, so please move away." Shen Zhiyao looked at the Queen sincerely.

The Queen thought for a moment and nodded, "Shijin, move to Fengyi Palace. Tell someone to call Concubine Lu as well! Wan Shurong has been feeling unwell these past two days, and Concubine Zhuang is pregnant and shouldn't worry too much, so don't call them."

Shen Zhiyao bowed and was about to take Qiuyue's hand and go towards Fengyi Palace, but was stopped by the Queen.

"Jin Wanyi, please stay." The Queen turned around and told Shijin, "Go and ask the stable for a sedan chair, and have someone take Jin Wanyi to Fengyi Palace. The journey is long, so don't walk. I think you'll be very tired."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your mercy." Shen Zhiyao thanked her gratefully.

To be honest, the Queen is very considerate. The horse farm is very far away from Fengyi Palace. She has been tossed around for so long that she really can't walk anymore!

After entering the palace for more than a year, this was the first time that Shen Zhiyao enjoyed riding in a sedan chair in the palace. But after enjoying it, she didn't want to walk anymore.

As a result, Shen Zhiyao's desire to improve became even stronger.

After arriving at Fengyi Palace and sitting for a while, the tea cups were prepared with assorted brocade cloth, and then Concubine Lu arrived.

Concubine Lu was not surprised to see Shen Zhiyao present. The Queen had already given her a message yesterday, and she already knew that Shen Zhiyao had also joined the Queen's army.

When Concubine Lu was rushing to Fengyi Palace, she had already heard the eunuch who led the way roughly describe what happened at the horse farm, so when she entered, her face was full of worry.

"Jin Wanyi, can you tell me now?" The Queen leaned comfortably on the chaise longue, less serious than usual, as if she treated them as her own family.

Whether or not they really treated her as one of their own was not important. What was important was that the Queen's attitude made the people under her feel assured and at ease.

Shen Zhiyao couldn't help but sigh: Gu Yunran really knows how to win people's hearts!

"Empress, Sister Lu, this matter is very complicated and may take more effort." Shen Zhiyao said apologetically.

"It's okay. I'm very interested. Just tell me in detail." The queen took a sip of tea leisurely.

Lady Lu looked at her eagerly with her watery almond-shaped eyes, and was obviously more interested.

After Shen Zhiyao traveled through time, he discovered during horse riding and archery practice that the horses of this era did not have practical saddles and stirrups.

Strictly speaking, the saddle at this time can only be called a simple "saddle pad", and the stirrup is just a single-sided buckle, which has little practical significance.

Fortunately, she had filmed a drama about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in her previous life. The director had strict requirements and required a high degree of historical restoration. Horses at that time did not have stirrups, so she had received professional training and had already formed muscle memory, which enabled her to adapt quickly.

She once tactfully asked a palace servant who knew riding and shooting, and he replied that all the war horses were configured in this way, and he had already made plans in his mind.

And today, the duel with Zhu Baolin is a perfect opportunity!

"When I was practicing horse riding and archery, I accidentally discovered two problems, which seriously restricted the improvement speed of novices in horse riding and archery." Shen Zhiyao also took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Oh? What's the problem?" Concubine Lu asked impatiently.

"Empress, may I ask for a pen and ink? Things are a bit complicated, and I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it clearly just with my mouth." Shen Zhiyao asked.

The queen nodded slightly to Shijin, who quickly prepared the pen and paper.

Shen Zhiyao spread out the rice paper and moistened the brush before beginning to explain patiently and carefully.

"First of all, our saddle pads are simply a layer of padding on the horse's back, just for comfort."

As Shen Zhiyao was drawing, she said, "I suddenly had an idea. If we can improve the horse mat, make the front and back ends slightly raised, so that it looks like a 'high bridge', and then use straps to firmly fix it on the horse's back, it will not only make the rider more comfortable, but also help the rider to be more stable when using weapons such as spears."

After Shen Zhiyao finished speaking, he actually drew a saddle draped on a horse's back, which was quite vivid and lifelike.

Upon hearing this, the queen's eyes widened and she immediately stood up, took the painting from Shen Zhiyao's hand and looked at it carefully.

The more the queen looked at it, the more she thought this idea was ingenious, and she secretly sighed in her heart: Shen Zhiyao is truly a talent!

At this time, Noble Lady Lu couldn't help but feel curious and came over to take a look.

After all, she was well-read and not comparable to ordinary women. She understood it at a glance and immediately admired Shen Zhiyao.

"This thing looks simple, but the front and back sides appear to be much higher than the saddle pad, and the texture should be very hard. How is it made?" Concubine Lu asked curiously.

The queen was also worried that things might look simple, but might not be easy to make. The most difficult thing was how to turn ideas into reality.

"Actually, it's not as difficult as you ladies think." Shen Zhiyao said with a smile.

"Oh, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us about it! If it sounds feasible, the Queen will definitely find a way to help you complete the production!" Noble Lady Lu chimed in.

Concubine Lu and Shen Zhiyao get along well and want to help her from the bottom of their hearts.

"Well, just tell me. Unless the material used is too rare, whether you want a person or a thing, I will do my best to find it for you!" The queen shook her sleeves and spoke in a domineering manner.

Shen Zhiyao saw that her initial idea had completely attracted the interest of the Queen and Noble Lady Lu, so she no longer had to worry about it. She no longer hid anything and began to tell her two teammates...
