Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Not to mention that the reason why Concubine Liu dared to bully the low-ranking concubines in the palace was because she felt that even if these people were bullied by her, they could not turn over, so she was not afraid. She only said that some palace fighting incidents happened in the palace at that time, but they were all in other palaces and did not affect Linlang, so Linlang did not take it seriously.

In fact, there were palace fights happening all the time in the palace. Of the fifty concubines who entered the palace at the same time as her, five have either died or been sent to the cold palace after half a year of tossing around in the palace. Most of them were victims of palace fights, not natural deaths.

In just half a year, 10% of the people were killed, which shows how terrible the palace is.

So although Concubine Liu was a bad person, she was better than those people who plotted murders in secret. Those people would torture people to death, and if they didn't obey, they would frame them and cause them to get into trouble, which would make the empress dowager or the emperor furious and would send them to the cold palace or give them a white silk cloth.

In fact, it’s not that Concubine Liu didn’t want to torture Linlang to death. After all, she was so bad. Then she found that she couldn’t get any money from Linlang, so she had wanted to torture Linlang to death for a long time. It’s just that she didn’t have the brains to think of a clever plan to torture Linlang to death. She only knew how to beat her. I guess in her opinion, what’s the point of thinking of a clever plan, wouldn’t it be enough to just beat someone up? A clever plan might not be realized, but beating someone is real. Wouldn’t it make people feel better after beating them up?
Moreover, why use tricks to kill someone or send him to the cold palace? Wouldn't it be more satisfying to keep him by your side and torture him slowly, and then beat him up from time to time?

——She didn't know that her strategy of beating people was just a superficial effort because Linlang numbed the arm of the nanny next to her. She couldn't do anything to Linlang at all. She just felt relieved that she had beaten Linlang again.

If she knew that she didn't really hit Linlang and didn't feel good at all, she would be so angry that she would die.

As time went by, the emperor finally chose Linlang.

The eunuch in charge of flipping the cards beside the emperor had been waiting for Linlang to give him money, but she never gave him any. Now the emperor said that there were other beauties this year that he had not favored, and that there was only Linlang left. So the eunuch in charge of flipping the cards had to present Linlang's card no matter how reluctant he was.

So the emperor summoned Linlang.

High-ranking concubines had their own palaces, so the emperor could go to see anyone he wanted. Low-ranking concubines did not have their own palaces, so if he wanted to summon them, he would usually just flip a card and notify the person to wash and get ready. Finally, they would be led to the emperor's palace by a female official in charge of the emperor's bedroom to wait. When the emperor was ready to go to bed, the woman would come to serve him.

Linlang already knew the process of sleeping with the emperor in this world from the little bee, so she was not panicked. After washing up, she followed the female official to the emperor's palace.

Soon the emperor came in.

To be honest, the emperor is not actually ugly. After all, this was not the time when the country was founded. The founding emperor might have looked average, but after countless generations of beauties and concubines, the current emperor looks very good.

Moreover, the emperor was not old, probably only ten years older than his original body, and looked to be in his twenties.

If the other party was a one-on-one partner, Linlang would not need to use the dream charm to avoid sleeping together.

However, the other party has too many partners, and Linlang can't stand sharing with so many people, so naturally she doesn't plan to sleep with him.

There’s nothing wrong with ending a relationship and starting a new one. After all, most people today may have more than one relationship in their lifetime.

However, messing around with countless people at the same time was a different nature, and Linlang could not accept this, so she could only avoid sleeping with him. Because he had never met Linlang before, and only met her once among fifty people during the talent show, how could he remember her? Therefore, the emperor had no idea what Linlang looked like, and could not match her to her appearance. Therefore, this kind of summoning was not so much a summoning as it was similar to the nature of modern pampering, where two strangers met and had sex.

Of course, people in ancient times all got married blindly, so it was a common practice for them.

Because the two were not familiar with each other, the emperor just exchanged pleasantries and asked about Linlang's name, family situation, and current position. That was all. After the eunuchs and palace maids retreated outside the hall, Linlang helped the emperor change his clothes and go to bed.

At this time, Linlang used the Dream Magic Talisman. The emperor didn't notice anything and thought he was still undressing with Linlang to go to bed. But in fact, Linlang had already pressed the emperor's sleeping point. He knew nothing and only had a dream made up by the Dream Magic Talisman.

Seeing that the dream woven by the Dream Talisman was almost over, Linlang released the emperor from his sleeping position.

From the emperor's perspective, he and Linlang had spent a very good night - Linlang must have set it up this way so that the emperor would be interested in summoning her next time - and then Linlang helped him put on his casual clothes, and Linlang also put on her clothes and prepared to go back.

Concubines of lower rank were not eligible to stay in the emperor's palace, so Linlang naturally had to go back.

According to the idea that Linlang made up for the emperor in the dream talisman, Linlang served well and her position was promoted to a higher level.

As long as the emperor didn't particularly dislike her, a concubine of lower rank would generally be promoted after her first visit. Linlang was afraid of any accidents, so she deliberately engraved this idea in the emperor's mind.

Sure enough, after the dream spell ended and the eunuchs and palace maids were allowed to come in to serve, the emperor told the chief eunuch that Linlang had made great contributions in serving him and that she should be promoted one level to the rank of a lady of the eighth rank.

This was not a high level, so the chief eunuch was not surprised. He congratulated Linlang immediately, and then Linlang returned to her room under the guidance of the female official in charge of the bedroom.

Hearing that Linlang had been promoted to an eighth-rank lady, Han Gengyi, who had not interacted with Linlang for a long time, came over and talked to her.

Last Mid-Autumn Festival, Linlang was promoted to a higher level, which made Linlang one level higher than her. During this period of time, she had not been summoned by the emperor. Then Linlang was promoted to a higher level again, which made Linlang two levels higher than her. This made Han Gengyi even more unacceptable, so she came over and wanted to ask Linlang how she got promoted so quickly.

After hearing her question, Linlang was surprised and said, "It was because His Majesty summoned me that I was promoted. You were summoned at that time, so you were promoted as well, right? So there is no trick."

That's true.

It's just...how come Sun Linlang's luck is so good? The emperor summoned her only after the empress dowager promoted her two levels. You know, according to the information she has heard now, when a woman is summoned by the emperor for the first time, as long as the emperor doesn't dislike her, he will promote her by one level. But if he favors her again, it is not certain whether he can promote her by one level.

If Sun Linlang had been favored by the emperor earlier, she would have been promoted from the lowest rank of Cheng'en to Gengyi, which is completely different from her current promotion from a palace maid to a good man. (End of this chapter)
