Chapter 155 The Imperial Advisor of a Female-Dominated Society (Part 1)
If she could hide, Qingyu would have done so long ago.
The further she went, the more she realized that some things were destined, and she simply couldn't escape them.
"Stop dawdling and let's go."
The system solemnly opened the portal—
"Let's go!"
--------------
"Grand Preceptor, His Majesty has sent someone to inquire about the current state of destiny."
The tall man, dressed in blue, waited respectfully for the reply from the person in front of him.
Qingyu looked at the fortune-telling coins in front of her, along with other scattered fortune-telling items, and fell silent for the first time.
She looked at a bronze mirror on the table, through which she could see her current appearance.
Wearing a long robe of black and red, a somber and serious color, her skin appeared even whiter. A silver mask concealed most of her face, her red lips were tightly pursed, and her delicate jawline was like a sculpture.
This was Qingyu's first time dressed like this, and she found it quite novel. At this moment, she hadn't yet processed her memories, but having transmigrated many times, she was used to it.
With a flick of her sleeve, she created a fragrant breeze that made the man before her momentarily freeze in his tracks.
"You may leave now. I will report the results to His Majesty myself."
Her clear and melodious voice was like a spring, soothing the listener's mind and spirit.
The man's ears turned mostly red, and he stammered as he backed away.
After everyone left, Qingyu slowly got up and looked around.
This must be where the original head of the household worked, similar to a study. Qingyu didn't see a bed for resting, but instead saw a shelf of books and all sorts of strangely shaped items.
But every time she picked up something, its name and description would automatically pop into her mind.
Her slender, delicate fingers traced the pages of the book as Qingyu lowered her eyes to absorb the plot.
Upon seeing just the beginning, her brow furrowed and her eyes narrowed slightly; she almost thought she was seeing things.
This is actually a matriarchal world; as the name suggests, women are superior to men.
Women were the ones who did the work, women were the ones who studied, women were the emperors, and even women gave birth...
It was a man!
"That's quite novel," Qingyu murmured with a smile.
If you continue reading, the female protagonist of this world is Feng Yu, the seventh princess of the Feng Kingdom. She is a notorious good-for-nothing princess in the Feng Kingdom, proficient in eating, drinking, gambling and whoring, and is notorious in the Feng Kingdom.
But no one knew that just three days ago, after Feng Yu was tricked into falling into the water, her body had become inhabited by a soul from thousands of years in the future—the time-traveling woman "Feng Yu".
At that time, Feng Yu had modern ideas about life and conduct. After she woke up, she did not act rashly, but instead began to accept everything, slowly plotted, and fought endlessly with several princesses.
During this time, she encountered many outstanding men. However, since the matriarchal world was characterized by polygamy, Feng Yu did not take them all in. Instead, after careful selection, she chose her own "wife".
After experiencing many trials, the two unified the Feng Kingdom and were praised by the people. In the end, they handed over the throne to their youngest son and lived a happy life in seclusion in the mountains.
Actually, Qingyu already had doubts at this point. For example, in this world's upside-down consciousness, men cannot ascend to the throne. Feng Yu clearly had a daughter, but in the end, he gave the throne to his son...
Is this really what she thinks, or was she forced into it?
Qingyu slowly exhaled. The whole story was laid bare, but having experienced so much, she couldn't help but have some conspiracy theories.
She then looked through the books on the bookshelf. Although the pages were yellowed, clearly from being turned many times, there wasn't a single crease, showing how much the original owner valued them.
However, Qingyu's arrival proves that the original owner's experience was not good.
When she received the memories, sure enough—
The original owner was the national advisor of the Phoenix Kingdom. Born at the top of the pyramid, she possessed metaphysical talents, could divine and predict the future, and knew everything under the heavens, from astronomy and geography to the underworld.
She should have lived a life of contentment, serving as the emperor's advisor, but precisely because her power was so great—enough to influence the emperor's thoughts—she became a target of contention among all the princesses.
Even Feng Yu, who transmigrated from another era, had her first target: the original owner of this body.
However, Feng Yu remained calm and did not reveal her ambition at the beginning. Instead, she planned step by step, from acquaintance to friendship. Unfortunately, due to her protagonist aura, the original owner could not foresee her thoughts when she consulted the oracle, and only thought that this person was a true friend.
When the original owner was brought together by her, the original owner, who was originally devoid of feelings, was once again schemed against by her.
She had physical intimacy with the man, which felt like a monk breaking his vows, and her heart wavered.
In this world where men are considered inferior, the original owner couldn't bear to abandon that man, so she agreed to Feng Yu's offer: in return, the latter would take care of him, and she would help him ascend to that position.
It's a pity that those who become emperors are all ruthless and heartless. Feng Yu's mind was inherently deep, and she had only used the original owner of the body. After ascending the throne, she immediately accused the original owner of being a charlatan, thus inciting the anger of the entire nation and bringing the original owner down from her pedestal.
It's down.
“No wonder…” Qingyu rubbed her temples. When she first arrived, she instinctively felt a surge of resentment in her heart, especially after hearing His Majesty’s name.
After all, the original owner already believed that the royal family was too heartless and not worth her effort at all.
But now Qingyu feels that the new problem she needs to face is...
She... apparently failed to inherit the original owner's fortune-telling abilities?
Anyway, seeing all of this gave her a headache.
With a sigh, Qingyu pulled out the system. "Stop hiding. Help me open the time flow space. I want to go in and study."
The system looked at her with surprise and doubt, "When did you start working so hard?"
Qingyu almost laughed out of anger. She glared at it irritably, and finally explained, "I don't want to be an expert. I just want to know the basics. There isn't much spiritual power in this world. I only need to know a little bit to fool these people."
Moreover, the degree of laziness varies depending on one's identity. If Qingyu were to slack off as soon as she arrives in each world, she would be doomed.
Even though she is incredibly beautiful, there is still a risk of problems arising.
The system swallowed hard, somewhat reluctant, and twisted its body. "But activating that requires a lot of points... and we don't have many."
As soon as it finished speaking, it received a cold look from Qingyu. Feeling guilty, it still opened the app with a wronged expression.
The space of time flow was something Qingyu had just learned about. As soon as she entered, she set the time to the slowest setting, intending to learn more about it.
She never expected that once she started learning, she would spend three months in the space, and when she came out, her eyes were sore all over.
Three hours had passed outside, and it was getting dark. The figure standing outside the door was clearly getting anxious.
"National Division?"
Qingyu closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. She sat down directly, saying, "Come in."
The door was gently pushed open, revealing the same man in blue from before.
He carefully placed a plate of food on the table. "Grand Preceptor, you haven't eaten in a long time. This is freshly prepared by the kitchen."
Qingyu glanced at the food and a thought struck her: she could deduce some simple fortunes from the presentation and color of the food.
She calmly picked up a piece of pastry, took a bite, and said, "A major event will occur in the court tomorrow. You should inform His Majesty and make preparations in advance."
The man in blue was slightly taken aback, somewhat dazed. "Grand Preceptor, you... you saw through it already?"
Qingyu glanced at him, her eyes deep. This person's original name was Qingling. He was the original owner's capable assistant, and in the original story, he was the only one who never betrayed the original owner and died with him in the end.
Qingyu was satisfied with such a loyal person, but she calmly said on the surface, "As the Imperial Advisor, I do have this much ability."
Qing Ling nodded with a smile, "The Imperial Advisor is indeed capable. I will go and report to His Majesty immediately."
He then reminded Qingyu to eat before leaving gracefully.
