Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

When Linlang saw what these people were planning, she couldn't help but be speechless. She thought, luckily she saw it, otherwise, if cousin Zhang found out that there were other people targeting her, they might join forces and use the hands of King Yan and his uncles to deal with her. , which will naturally increase the difficulty for herself, which is not what she wants to see. After all, although she can deal with this group of garbage, it is easier to deal with it if it is less difficult.

Ever since she knew about these people's ambitions for Prince Yan's Mansion, and seeing how these so-called relatives came to visit her from time to time and compliment her, Linlang knew that they were not coming to see her to curry favor with her, but were picking things up in advance, so that they could It's time to start.

It is normal for these people to covet the title of Prince Yan.

Because it is difficult to obtain the title of prince in this dynasty.

Since it is hard to get, it is natural that things are rare and valuable.

For example, in the line of King Yan, the first King of Yan, who is the grandfather of the current King of Yan, was able to obtain the title of prince at that time, thanks to the fact that when the emperor's father came to the throne, he was still very young and did not participate in the fight for the right to inherit the throne. , so the late emperor did not deal with King Yan's grandfather. On the contrary, the other brothers of the late emperor died, some were demoted, some were abolished, and there were not many left alive. So the late emperor saw that the grandfather of King Yan was young and posed no threat to him, so he He was given a princely title.

During the same period, other brothers who were lucky could only get a title of county king, while those who were not lucky would end up in the loess.

And becoming a prince is not a one-and-done thing. The prince of this dynasty will not be hereditary forever, and will be demoted after five generations. Of course, if he makes a mistake, the emperor can demote him whenever he wants.

As for county princes and the like, they can be demoted even faster.

This is still the case for the emperor's son, but for the prince's heir, the title is even worse.

Although the legitimate son of the prince of this dynasty can be granted the title of county prince, the concubine can only have other titles of first or even lower rank, and his salary is not much.

For example, in King Yan's father's generation, there was only one legitimate son, King Yan's father, and the others were concubines. Therefore, the titles of these concubines were naturally not very good, and they did not have any title of county prince. It was good to get a duke.

So how could the uncles of King Yan not be covetous of the princely title of King Yan? After all, they are about to get it. Not only will they be upgraded to princes, but the titles of their sons will also be greatly improved in the future. Unlike now, they are originally If the clan title is low, the title of the descendants will be even lower, and some will simply disappear. How pitiful this is.

But as long as you have the title of prince, it is completely different.

Therefore, it is normal for them to covet the title of King Yan.

But Linlang felt that these people were overthinking.

First of all, if King Yan really has no wife or children, it will not be a problem to adopt an heir, but it is not certain whether this heir can get the title of prince.

In this dynasty, only the eldest son can inherit the title of prince, and the adopted son is not the eldest son, but is called the heir. The royal law does not say that the heir can obtain the title of prince.

Of course, it is possible to give someone a Duke title, which is higher than their original title, but it also depends on whether the emperor is happy. If they are not happy to give you a Duke title, you There is nothing we can do. But the title of Duke is completely incomparable with the title of County Prince or even Prince. This is not what they want.

That's why they kept thinking about getting the title of prince from King Yan.

It's just that sometimes they think too beautifully, thinking that they can do whatever they want, but they never consider whether the emperor is willing to let them get it.

Just like Mrs. Liu, the emperor had previously refused to give the title of King Yan to her other grandchildren. She still refused to give up, but she never thought that her hard work might be in vain.

In fact, Prince Yan's other uncles were naturally not happy that Concubine Liu favored one of her grandsons. Therefore, in order to close the relationship with Prince Yan's Mansion, some people would secretly tell her about Concubine Liu's faults when they came to see Linlang. Thinking that the two families were in the same situation, Linlang would empathize with their words, and finally agree with their words, bringing them closer to each other.

The reason why these people are unhappy is not only because of their title, but also because of money.

As mentioned earlier, some of the uncles' families like King Yan did not have high titles and low salaries, which resulted in insufficient money.

But the family that Mrs. Liu likes is much better, because although Mrs. Liu is a little transparent in the palace, because of her age, everyone naturally respects her. During the holidays, the things she gets in the palace, There are more of them.

Although she is not as good as those whose status is more noble than hers, she is the first among those at the same level.

Because there are more things, her consumption in the palace is also smaller. After all, they are all transparent old concubines. Who would consume so much? There is no need to compete for favors, and there is no need to worry about being too small and transparent. The food in the imperial kitchen is given to her. It's too bad. At her age and seniority, the emperor and empress would personally intervene and give her a decent treatment, so that she wouldn't have to worry about being too young and transparent, and what someone could do to her.

In this way, she has less places to spend money and more money to save. If she gets a grandson that she likes, she can get a lot of money from her, so that their family, although their title is not very high, has a lot of money. There is a lot of money and a relatively good life, which makes other companies feel very unhappy.

So she used this as an excuse to drive a wedge between Linlang and them. In this way, even if nothing happened in the future, Zhang Linlang really survived and gave birth to a child, and her child would inherit the title of King Yan. Without them, there would be nothing wrong with her, but with those families The relationship is not good. When Mrs. Liu passes away, even if those families will not be in bad luck, at least they will not be able to get any benefits from Prince Yan's Mansion because of their bad relationship with Prince Yan's Mansion.

It is better than Linlang having a good relationship with them, so that they can still get benefits from Prince Yan's Mansion after Mrs. Liu passes away.

At that moment, I heard King Yan's cousin-in-law say to Linlang: "Your family is the main branch of our family after the direct branch. The existence we rely on, why does the empress never give your family a reward every year, but she gives... It’s not fair to reward the second son’s family.”

The cousin-in-law of King Yan, who is also the uncle of King Yan, was previously granted the title of Duke of Zhen Guo. As the eldest son, her husband can still inherit the title of Duke of Guo in the future. However, if he is the father-in-law, even her husband will inherit the title of Duke of Zhen Guo. If she gets the title of prince, then she will be the princess in the future. This is great, so seeing Linlang get married successfully, she is actually quite uncomfortable, but she still has the family that Mrs. Liu likes that she hates, so this will Er then provoked him like this in front of Linlang.

Wouldn't it be nice if the person you hate faced off against Linlang, the person who made you uncomfortable, and had a life-and-death fight?

As for the second son's family mentioned by this cousin-in-law, it is the grandson's family that Mrs. Liu likes the most, which is also the family of King Yan's second uncle.
