The emperor's wives had different social ranks in different dynasties.
Of course, in a fictional world, the settings are likely to be quite chaotic.
In this world.
The emperor's harem, ranked from top to bottom, consisted of the empress, imperial noblewoman, noblewoman, concubine, and consort.
Jiang Wanyi went directly from Consort Wan to Noble Lady Wan, which is considered a promotion of two ranks.
This is extremely rare in the power struggles of the imperial harem.
Jiang Wanyi also saw Ling Yi in the crowd.
However, Jiang Wanyi's expression wasn't very good at the moment.
If Jiang Wanyi had advanced two levels before meeting Ling Yi, she would definitely have been very happy.
The higher the rank, the greater the power.
Although the risks are higher, with more power comes more opportunities to do things.
But now that Jiang Wanyi has begun her cultivation, she naturally has lost interest in palace intrigue.
Promoting her by two ranks now would probably cause a lot of trouble.
Isn't this interfering with her cultivation?
After sending the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree away, Jiang Wanyi moved to her new residence, Qianxue Palace, surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs.
Throughout this process, Ling Yi stayed close behind Jiang Wanyi.
Even though there was an extra Ling Yi in the group, no one paid any attention to Ling Yi.
In Jiang Wanyi's view, Ling Yi must have used some kind of magic.
I didn't think much of it.
Jiang Wanyi waited until they arrived at the Qianxue Palace and arranged many things before finally dismissing the servants.
"Troublesome!" Jiang Wanyi said helplessly as she sat down opposite Ling Yi.
"So, what are you planning to do next? If nothing unexpected happens, the Emperor should be coming to your place tonight, right?" Ling Yi asked.
At this moment, Jiang Wanyi's delicate face suddenly flushed Yanhong.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he lightly licked his tongue.
Despite having a goddess-like face, Ling Yi saw only the words "perverted" and "female hooligan" in her eyes.
"The way you look at me, you're not thinking about that ' Lao Ai's' enormous size, are you?"
Hearing Ling Yi's words, Jiang Wanyi coughed lightly. "Ahem, I'm just curious. There are quite a few descriptions of this aspect of the emperor in novels!"
Ling Yi was certain that the novel Jiang Wanyi reading was definitely not serious.
"Then you'll know once you experience it for yourself."
Jiang Wanyi shook her head, her expression becoming more serious. " Big Shot, do you have any methods to control other people?"
"You want to control the emperor?" Ling Yi immediately understood what the woman meant.
"Well, for me right now, I have two choices: one is to leave the palace, and the other is to stay in the palace."
Ling Yi nodded indifferently; that was indeed the case.
"Leaving the palace might bring more freedom, but food, clothing, shelter, and transportation will be a huge hassle. This is ancient times; the world inside and outside the imperial city is like two different worlds."
"So, you're more inclined to stay in this imperial city?"
Jiang Wanyi nodded. "To stay in the capital, you need an absolutely safe talisman, a life-saving charm, to live comfortably and well within the palace."
"And within the imperial palace, the greatest talisman is the emperor himself."
At this point, Jiang Wanyi paused, took a deep breath, and said, "But this emperor was a man devoid of emotion. According to the books, he suffered from a condition called emotional deficiency syndrome."
"Rational as a robot."
"Although she was eventually cured by the female lead, she was repeatedly misunderstood, hurt, and abandoned by the emperor like trash during the process; in short, she was subjected to all sorts of torture."
Ling Yi made a stop gesture.
"Wait a minute, you mean the female lead?"
"Right? I'm reading a female-oriented novel, isn't it normal for it to have a female lead?"
Hmm, that makes sense.
Ling Yi had always treated Jiang Wanyi as the female lead, but he forgot that Jiang Wanyi was a transmigrated female lead in a novel.
The book also features a female protagonist.
However, judging from Jiang Wanyi's description, this novel is clearly a tragic story!
"Who is the female lead?" Ling Yi asked.
"He hasn't entered the palace yet. According to the original plot, he should be entering the palace in another month."
She started as a lowly palace maid, and because of her beauty, she was bullied in every way, bearing injuries every day, each one different.
"In short, it's... well, disgusting. It's purely for the sake of torture, and it makes the viewer feel nauseous."
Even if she caught the emperor's eye and became a concubine, she had absolutely no sense of tenderness or compassion.
Jiang Wanyi said indignantly, "That's one thing, after all, the emperor has no heart, but every time he's framed, the male lead, he never stands on the female lead's side."
"Not only did he stand by and watch his woman be beaten and humiliated, but he would even physically assault her, choking her and whipping her—it was all commonplace for him."
"Isn't this a domestic abuser?" Ling Yi said speechlessly.
"Absolutely!" Jiang Wanyi nodded.
"If I ever met a man like that in real life, I'd better go somewhere cool and stay away."
"But the male lead happens to be the emperor, so the female lead can't escape and can only endure it again and again, then struggle and resist."
At this point, Jiang Wanyi said, "So, it's best not to mess with the emperor. I don't want to become the unlucky female lead."
"If we can control this emperor, that would be ideal. If not, we'll just kill him and become empress ourselves."
Ling Yi blinked. "You have this ambition?"
"Ambition begins with strength. Who hasn't dreamed of being an emperor? We've already transmigrated, so what's wrong with being an empress for fun?"
"No problem!" Ling Yi gave Jiang Wanyi a thumbs up.
Ambition begins with strength.
When a person possesses great power, they will naturally develop more ambition.
Previously, Jiang Wanyi only wanted to survive in palace intrigue dramas.
But now, Jiang Wanyi able to cultivate, and will soon possess Transcendent strength.
Naturally, they want more.
Ling Yi didn't have those thoughts.
He and Jiang Wanyi.
Jiang Wanyi cannot leave this world; she is the female protagonist of this world.
Living and dying, both exist only in this world.
To live a better life, you have to climb higher.
But Ling Yi is only a passerby in this world, and will eventually leave it.
Currently, there are only two ways to leave.
One was terminated, the other took three hundred years to complete.
As for whether there are any other methods, Ling Yi is currently unsure.
It's estimated that Zhou Siyao and her group will soon figure out the other functions of the World-Traversal Card.
Ling Yi and Jiang Wanyi have different identities, so their mindsets are naturally different.
"I do have methods for controlling people. I'll teach you when you break through to the second level."
Whether it's magic, immortal arts, or Daoist Arts.
They all have many methods of controlling people.
The simplest and most evil of these is directly controlling Human Spirit.
Ling Yi possesses quite a few of these methods of soul control.
I can just teach Jiang Wanyi later.
As for whether Jiang Wanyi will betray him, or even turn against him and use him against him?
Ling Yi had been worried before.
But now, Ling Yi isn't worried at all.
If Ling Yi desires, he can reclaim all of Jiang Wanyi's power with a mere thought.
I wonder if others who practice his God Ling Method will also experience the same effect.
If that's the case, then Ling Yi could easily cultivate his own group of "leeks" (victims/victims).
By continuously reaping rewards, one can rapidly enhance their strength.
Just then, the voice of a eunuch came from outside the door.
" Your Noble Lady Wan, the Emperor has chosen you for the night at the Qianxue Palace. Please prepare Noble Lady Wan."
Jiang Wanyi glanced at Ling Yi: " Big Shot, you have to help me tonight."
"Help you with what? Control the emperor?"
"Yes!"
"Don't you want to give it a try?" Ling Yi raised an eyebrow and smiled.
Jiang Wanyi rolled her eyes. "Hey, I don't have any masochistic tendencies."
Then, she gave Ling Yi a charming look and said, "Even if it's an attempt, it should be with you, Dai Lao!"
