Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

However, Cui Erniang did not completely give up asking the Xinxiang Marquis' Mansion for money. She planned to continue asking them for money after the funeral was over, and see if they had any reason not to give her money.

You know, as far as she knew, the families of other concubines in the palace gave them money to spend, so why didn't her family give them money?

Let’s not talk about how Cui Erniang couldn’t do anything about the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang and others, but let’s talk about Aunt Han.

As she expected, her life became difficult after the death of Xinxiang Hou.

In fact, there is no need for the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang to target her. The people in the mansion will spontaneously treat her badly because of the relationship of flattering the powerful and bullying the weak.

The people in the mansion knew that Han Yi Niang's backer, the Marquis of Xinxiang, had passed away, leaving her without a backer. She also had a bad relationship with the Marquis's wife, which was enough to make people no longer flatter her as before. Some people even made trouble for her in order to show their loyalty to the Marquis's wife, which made her very angry.

It is normal for people to react like this.

I flattered her before because she was the favorite concubine of Marquis Xinxiang and there were benefits in flattering her, so I flattered her.

Now that the Marquis of Xinxiang is gone, there is no benefit in flattering her. Who would flatter her? It would be bad for her.

Aunt Han was angry when she saw these people treating her badly, but she no longer had any status in the mansion, so even if she was angry, she couldn't do anything to them. This was obviously not what Aunt Han wanted to see, so she sent a message to Cui Yuanniang, telling her about it and hoping that she would come back to support her.

He thought that since Cui Yuanniang had married into a good family, and she would come back to support him, no one in the mansion would dare to do anything to him.

Unfortunately, Cui Yuanniang refused to come back, saying that she was pregnant and not feeling well and should not run around, so she couldn't get Cui Yuanniang's support even if she wanted it.

Because Aunt Han only wanted Cui Yuanniang to come back to support her and did not ask for too much, Cui Yuanniang was just using this as an excuse and did not say that she already knew that she was not her daughter.

Without the consent of the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang, Cui Yuanniang would not easily confront Aunt Han about this matter.

Therefore, even if Aunt Han continued to pester her, when Cui Yuanniang could no longer bear it, she would only use the excuse that Aunt Han had treated her badly in the past as an excuse not to go back, and would not talk about the issue of her background.

Aunt Han knew that she couldn't rely on Cui Yuanniang, so she had to behave herself in the mansion.

Naturally, her life was much worse than before. After all, without the money provided by the Marquis of Xinxiang, she only had two taels of silver a month, which was not enough. After all, she was used to spending lavishly, so she couldn't stand the sudden thriftiness. Secondly, there were a lot of people bullying her. How could her life not be miserable? Unfortunately, even if she was sad, she couldn't say anything.

Unlike before, if she was wronged, she would definitely dare to speak out because she knew that the Marquis of Xinxiang would support her.

Not to mention that Han Yi Niang's life would definitely not be easy in the future, but now Linlang learned about Cui Er Niang's situation in the palace and looked at where to get help to deal with her. This was not too difficult, because, just as Han Yi Niang thought, it was easy to get killed in the palace.

The reason why Cui Erniang has been able to live to this day is not because she is smart, but because she is a nobody and no one wants to pay attention to her. Otherwise, with her brain, she would not have lived long.

—— Cui Erniang’s brain is indeed not good, otherwise in her original world, she would not have harmed her original self and would have been discovered quickly. Compared with those people whose original selves failed to find the murderer, Cui Erniang is naturally not smart.

Therefore, as long as Linlang affects the interests of others, someone will take the initiative to deal with her, and she won't have to do anything.

It is not difficult to let her affect other people's interests. After all, there are many interests in the palace.

Taking sides among the princes, gaining the emperor's favor, or even becoming pregnant, etc., would affect the interests of others and easily lead to fatal disaster.

But now that Imperial Concubine Wang—yes, Imperial Concubine Wang has been promoted to Imperial Concubine Wang—is in favor, it will be difficult for Cui Erniang to be in favor, let alone get pregnant. Therefore, the most easily violated taboo is to take sides among the princes.

Although there was an empress and a son in this dynasty, not only was the empress out of favor, but the empress's son was also out of favor. The emperor had always wanted to make Concubine Qing's son the crown prince, but later there was a plot against Prince Anjiang in the palace, and the emperor had opinions about Concubine Qing, so the matter of making Concubine Qing's son the crown prince was left unresolved.

Although the emperor did not make Concubine Qing's son the crown prince, he also did not make the queen's son the crown prince. Therefore, the situation in the court is very complicated. Everyone is eyeing the position of crown prince. If you take sides at this time, it will easily bring trouble.

And at this moment, Cui Erniang really seems to be on the side of the prince, because she has been getting closer and closer to the queen recently. Although many people in the palace have gathered around the queen to fight against Concubine Wang, most people would not think that she is on the side of the prince because of this.

But in order to gain more benefits, Cui Erniang could not help but talk about her own background, implying in words and deeds that if the Queen gave her more benefits, she would persuade the Xinxiang Marquisate to stand on the side of the Queen's son.

There was no way. There were too many people gathered around the queen in the palace. If she didn't stand out, she would get very little benefit from the queen, and this was obviously not what she wanted to see.

Although Cui Erniang said these words to the Queen in private - Cui Erniang was also afraid that if others knew about her taking sides, it would cause trouble for her. After all, now was the time when the competition for the throne among the princes was fierce, so she naturally chose to talk about this matter in private. For the time being, others did not know about it, but after a long time, it would definitely spread. After all, it was difficult to keep things secret in the palace.

Of course, if someone spreads this news, others will know it even faster.

By then, when others see that she is on the queen's side, some people will definitely be unhappy and kill her.

In fact, Cui Erniang had no interest in standing on the side of the queen, because in the plot of this world, the person who would become emperor in the end would not be the queen's son at all, so how could she stand on the side of the loser? It's just that the things in the plot haven't happened yet, and she still has to live a good life for the time being, so she planned to stand on the side temporarily in exchange for a better life.

However, even if Cui Erniang was cautious, her conversation with the Queen would eventually get out. After all, the Queen had a son, the Empress's legitimate son, who was the strongest contender for the throne. In this case, she had too many spies in the palace and it was difficult for her to keep any secrets. Even if no one heard her taking sides for a while, it would be discovered sooner or later, and then she would be in trouble. After all, if those people couldn't deal with the Queen, could they not deal with someone like Cui Erniang who had no roots in the palace?
What Linlang needs to do is to spread the news earlier so that Cui Erniang can get on the road as soon as possible. After all, waiting is always anxious, and she wants to see Cui Erniang's result as soon as possible. (End of this chapter)
