Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1104 The Murderer in the Dark 15
Soon, Concubine Song arranged for Prince Qingjiang to meet her cousin.

Miss Song was as pretty as Concubine Song, and still young. She also said that she admired Prince Qingjiang, so it was reasonable for Prince Qingjiang not to accept her. After all, beauties were hard to come by in the capital these days. If he didn't want her, the girl could find another noble family to be a concubine. So Miss Song entered the palace smoothly, and as soon as she arrived, Prince Qingjiang gave her the status of a concubine.

This is also normal. Her original appearance was average and she was not very smart, so it was normal that she had been a concubine for many years but had never gained a legitimate status.

But Miss Song was young, pretty, smart, and likable, so it was natural that she would be chosen as a concubine as soon as she arrived.

The Crown Prince's wife knew what Concubine Song was up to, but she was not very worried. She thought that if Concubine Song couldn't do it, could this Concubine Song do it? She didn't think so.

Besides, even if she became a concubine, it would take many years for her to give birth to a son and for him to grow up. What if her father-in-law died before that? She would not be able to wait for him to write a petition to change the crown prince? You know, it is only after the age of ten that a petition is made. After more than ten years, who knows what will happen.

Therefore, the Crown Prince's Consort didn't care about the arrival of Concubine Song at all.

The Crown Prince's Consort didn't care about it, so Linlang naturally wouldn't care about it either, because there was no conflict between them at all - there was no need to worry that she would become the second concubine and then cause trouble for her because of the previous conflict between Concubine Song and herself. After all, she would at least have to wait until she became the second concubine.

Although she didn't take Concubine Song seriously, she probably heard from Concubine Song about the conflict between herself and her cousin, so she felt a little hostile towards Linlang.

It is estimated that in the eyes of Concubine Song, she dared not show hostility towards the Crown Prince's Concubine, lest the Crown Prince's Concubine cause trouble for her. But Linlang was an unfavored Concubine, so what did she have to be afraid of? Of course she dared to show hostility.

Linlang couldn't help but laugh when she saw Concubine Song like this. With Concubine Song's brain, it would be difficult for her to get promoted. After all, this girl didn't seem to be as smart as her cousin.

Even though Concubine Song was fighting with the Crown Prince's Concubine, she had no choice. If the Crown Prince's Concubine hadn't snatched her power, she would never have fought with the Crown Prince's Concubine before. It was because her interests were affected that Concubine Song fought with her.

Now Linlang has not touched Concubine Song's interests at all, and Concubine Song has no capital to go against her, but she dares to show hostility. Based on this point, Linlang doesn't think she can go far, unless Prince Qingjiang is a love-brained person and falls in love with her, then Concubine Song can do whatever she wants, and she has no choice.

But Prince Qingjiang obviously doesn't seem to be a love-brained person and would not do such a stupid thing.

Just like before, Concubine Song didn't like Linlang being close to Concubine Wang, and she dared to deal with her because Concubine Song still had the power at that time. However, Selectwoman Song was different from Concubine Song at that time, and she dared to show hostility towards her. This is nothing but stupidity.

And Concubine Song has not yet realized her own crisis.

In fact, Song Xuanshi's sudden appearance as a concubine made all the concubines without official status angry. At present, in the Qingjiang Palace, the positions of concubines and concubines of the Qingjiang Prince have been filled, except for Concubine Yuan, who is also a concubine because of the old princess and has no children. The other two concubines and three concubines all have children. As for the eight places for concubines, after Linlang got the official status, there is only one vacant position.

There was no other way. Prince Qingjiang had six sons and five daughters. Among these six sons, besides the Crown Prince, there were five sons and five daughters. Except for one who had both a son and a daughter, the other eight children were from different mothers. These nine people occupied the nine places for the selection of concubines and concubines. In addition, the childless Concubine Yuan also occupied one place. So there were only four places left for the selection of concubines and concubines. Three of them were prettier. Although they had no children, Prince Qingjiang also made them concubines. So there was only one vacant seat left, which was the object of everyone's competition.

Now that Concubine Song has suddenly appeared and occupied the last vacant position, those concubines without any status can no longer fight for a status. How can everyone not be dissatisfied with Concubine Song?
——So Linlang also grabs the spots quickly, otherwise as the number of spots decreases, it will become increasingly difficult to grab a spot, and grabbing the last spot will easily make you a target of hostility from others.

Concubine Song did not realize her own crisis. She dared to show hostility towards Linlang and put it into action, but was immediately slapped in the face.

What did Concubine Song do?

But on this day, a merchant wanted to undertake the purchase of the Qingjiang Palace and sent a bushel of pearls to the Qingjiang Palace. After receiving it, Prince Qingjiang asked the Crown Princess to distribute it to the people in the backyard. Because the Crown Princess had a good impression of Linlang, she also gave some to Linlang so that Linlang could make a pearl necklace.

Among the selected concubines, only Linlang received it. No one else received it. Because a hu of pearls sounds like a lot, but there are many masters and concubines in the mansion, including herself, the prince's concubine and concubine, and the concubine and concubine of Prince Qingjiang. There are quite a few people. This one gets some, that one gets some. Those with higher status get more so that they can get a pearl headdress or something like that, and those with lower status get at least enough to string a necklace. Otherwise, the amount given is too little and people can't even string a necklace, which is too embarrassing. As a result, it was quickly distributed all, and there was not enough pearls to be distributed to the concubines below the selected concubines. The reason why some was given to Linlang was because she had a good impression of Linlang.

But this made Concubine Song unhappy, and she immediately ran to question the Crown Prince's wife, asking why all of them were Concubines, but Linlang had one and she didn't.

Naturally, the Crown Prince's Consort could not say that she had a good relationship with Linlang, so she sent it to her. She only told Concubine Song that Linlang had a son, and although her status was that of a Concubine, the situation was different, so she sent it to her.

Naturally, Concubine Song was not satisfied with this answer, because she felt that she was more favored, so why shouldn't she get any of these?

After hearing her words, the Crown Princess felt like laughing.

"I always follow the rules. I can't give things to people based on who is favored. If I do it as you say, I can do it behind the scenes. Do you think this is a good idea? Besides, if you are favored, the prince will definitely give it to you privately, so you don't need to come to me."

The Crown Princess was right. Prince Qingjiang has been more fond of Concubine Song recently, so before giving the things to the Crown Princess, he did leave some pearls for Concubine Song. But of course, the more of these things, the better. After all, who doesn't like gold, silver and jewelry? She was unhappy that the Crown Princess didn't give her the things, so she came to make a fuss.

Now that the Crown Prince's Consort rejected her with such words, Concubine Song was speechless.

The Crown Prince's Consort does favor Linlang, but what she did was to find ways to favor Linlang within the rules. If what Concubine Song said was followed, that whoever is favored should be given things, then that would be a real behind-the-scenes operation. After all, there is no standard for being favored, and the Crown Prince's Consort would have the final say.
