Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 924 The Best Family 51
One has to be cautious when doing things in the palace. Generally, female officials would not openly go against the concubines unless someone ordered them to do so.

Although generally speaking, if Linlang had recommended Zhang Gongnu in this way, her superiors would definitely make her a female official, but Zhang Gongnu was afraid that the situation might go wrong, so she gave some benefits to the female official in charge of this matter. As a result, Zhang Gongnu successfully became a female historian.

Although she was a female official of the lowest rank, she could live in the palace from then on without worrying about going back and marrying a widower, becoming a stepmother, and serving the whole family.

Even more so, if Linlang's status becomes higher and higher, and her female official's status becomes higher and higher, she will not only live a good life in the palace, but will also be able to have her own maids to serve her, and have others serve her. How wonderful that would be.

Ms. Zhang didn’t dare to dream such a dream before, but seeing Linlang’s rising step by step, she dared to dream such a beautiful dream.

She also hoped that Linlang could become the mistress of a palace. Then not only could she become a female official with someone to serve her, but Linlang could also become the mistress of a palace. They would have their own palace, without anyone putting pressure on them, and could live more comfortably.

Unlike now, although she has become a talented person, there is still the palace mistress Liu Concubine above her. Although Liu Concubine basically dare not do anything to Linlang now, she still feels uncomfortable because there is someone above her.

However, to go from being a talented person, one has to be promoted four levels and then to a concubine, which is extremely difficult. Only the old people who used to follow the emperor could easily get the position of the mistress of a palace when the emperor ascended the throne and conferred titles on his empresses and concubines. After that, it would be much more difficult for those who entered the palace through the selection to become the mistress of a palace.

Moreover, it becomes more difficult with each generation than the previous one, because at the beginning there were not many concubines in the palace, so it was easier to ascend to the throne; later, as there were more and more concubines in the palace, the competitive pressure increased, and it naturally became much more difficult to ascend to the throne.

Therefore, it would be best for her master Linlang to climb to the main position of the first palace within less than a year before next year's draft. Otherwise, if new colors come in next year, it will be a bit difficult for her to climb to the main position of the first palace again.

But now the Dragon Boat Festival has passed. It seems too difficult to climb to the position of the head of a palace before the new beauties enter the palace next April. After all, there are still four levels. Her master could only be promoted four levels a year at the fastest time before, and that was when he was in a low position. Now that he is in such a high position, it is almost impossible to be promoted four levels a year.

And when the newcomer enters the palace next year, it is hard to say whether the master can be promoted to concubine due to the pressure from the newcomer.

You have to know that the previous contestant, Chu Zhaoyi, was at least the daughter of an official, and had a high starting point when entering the palace - as soon as she entered, she was given the position of her master's current talent - but after three years, she was only promoted to Zhaoyi. After that, newcomers came in, and there was even less hope, and she eventually died of illness.

It is really difficult for my master to be promoted to the master of a palace within a year.

For a moment, Ms. Zhang became a little pessimistic.

However, thinking that Linlang was only a Cheng'en of the lowest rank before, and that there had never been a Cheng'en in the palace who could climb to such a high position as a talented person, Ms. Zhang thought again, not necessarily, maybe her master could break this rule?

No matter what, thanks to her master, she has become a lady historian now. This is already good and she should not be too pessimistic.

This time, Linlang's promotion to a talented person did not shock the first and second wives as much as before.

Firstly, the first wife had gotten used to Linlang's promotion from time to time, and so had the second wife; secondly, Master Sun had been unable to get rid of Linlang and the first wife, and had already placed all his chips on his daughter's selection to enter the palace next year, so it didn't matter to him anymore, or he had become numb to it. It was the bigger shock in the palace, after all, after Linlang was promoted to noble lady, she could still be promoted, which made everyone think that it seemed that Linlang had not reached the end yet. They thought that the last time Linlang was favored, she didn't get promoted because the emperor was tired of her and didn't want to continue to promote her to make them happy. Unexpectedly, she was promoted again this time after just failing to get promoted once, which made many people unacceptable.

So, the people who instigated Linlang to fight with Concubine Li also went to instigate Concubine Li to fight with Linlang.

Yes, after such a long period of struggle, Concubine Li has successfully been promoted to Imperial Concubine Li, becoming the first Imperial Concubine in the palace and was the most popular at the time.

Naturally, there are a lot of people who envy her, but because Concubine Li is so brilliant, those people are no match for her, so many people now dare not touch Concubine Li. After all, anyone who touches her will either die or go to the cold palace. Who would dare to touch her?

Not daring to touch Concubine Li does not mean these people dare not touch Linlang, so these people ran to Concubine Li and said bad things about Linlang, trying to provoke Concubine Li to deal with Linlang. They thought that Linlang's rank was so high that Concubine Li could kill her with just one finger if she wanted to. In that way, when Concubine Li's beauty faded and her love waned in the future, and without Linlang, the rising star, they would have a chance to take the position.

As a result, the provocation was brought to Concubine Li, but she retorted with just one sentence.

"No matter what kind of person he is, he is worthy of my dealing with."

The instigator couldn't help but say, "She's rising very fast! What if she becomes favored in the future and harms the queen? What should we do?"

Concubine Li said calmly: "Let's wait until she climbs to the position of the head of the first palace. She hasn't even reached the position of the head of the first palace yet, so how can she be a threat?"

Actually, what Imperial Concubine Li said was right. Although a talented person was considered a middle-level rank, it was not good enough before reaching the high-level rank of Imperial Concubine. So it was normal that Imperial Concubine Li did not care about Linlang's fast promotion.

Seeing Concubine Li say this, those people were at their wits' end and could only look for other people to instigate them and have them deal with Linlang.

However, since Linlang has decided to continue advancing, she is naturally prepared for someone to cause trouble for her, so she is not afraid. She will just fight back against the enemy and block the water with earth.

I am not afraid of conspiracies. What is really difficult to deal with are those who directly find fault. After all, those who directly find fault should be fought back directly. However, most of these people who find fault are of higher rank than Linlang, and it is not easy to fight back directly - the palace is a place where hierarchy is emphasized. People of higher rank teach people of lower rank, and people of lower rank can only listen. What qualifications do they have to fight back? This is not a modern civilized society where everyone is equal.

And if Linlang is asked not to fight back, she naturally can't stand it, so it is often quite troublesome.

Faced with such a person, Linlang couldn't fight back directly, for fear that the other party would accuse her of having no respect for hierarchy. Even if she brought the incident to the leader, the leader wouldn't think what she did was right. In this case, Linlang could only fight back privately.

Although she could fight back in private, Linlang actually wanted to fight back in person, so naturally she didn't like people picking fights in person.
