Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 926 The Best Family 53
Although the emperor did not visit Linlang as often as he did Concubine Li, there were still many people who visited her compared to those who were not favored. It was no wonder that the other concubines were worried.

Linlang saw that the emperor had called her again without having to flip the cards, and she couldn't help but feel happy. After all, she could save the money from flipping the cards, and that money could be used in other places where money was needed. How great was that?

Linlang was right about her feelings for the emperor. When it was time for her to be promoted in her heart, she fabricated an idea in the Dream Talisman and asked the emperor to promote her. As expected, the emperor promoted her to the fourth-rank beauty.

When Mr. Sun told Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun the good news, they were happy for the First Wife. They also told the Second Wife about it and for the first time suggested that the Second Wife reconcile with the First Wife.

In the past, Old Master Sun and Old Mistress Sun would not dare to mention this, because they were afraid that the people in the second house would be unhappy if they said this.

But now, Linlang from the first wife's house has become a fourth-rank beauty.

They knew that the rank of concubines in the harem was different from that of the ministers outside, but they felt that, no matter what, the fourth rank sounded like a very high rank, and Linlang's status in the palace must be quite good. The emperor must be very good to his granddaughter, otherwise she would not have been promoted so high.

Since he treats his granddaughter well, the second house and the first house are on good terms, and with Linlang's blessing, maybe Master Sun Er's official position can be promoted! After all, it seems that the youngest son is not capable of being an official. For several years, he has been a seventh-rank official and has not moved.

The reason why Linlang is believed to be able to help Master Sun Er to improve his official position is because, thanks to Linlang, the first wife got a job. You know, the eldest son, who did not pass the imperial examination, got a job. What's more, the younger son was a person from the imperial examination background. When he reconciles with the first wife, as long as Linlang mentions it to the emperor, with this background, he will be able to rise to prominence.

The prerequisite for achieving this is to reconcile with the first wife and obtain Linlang's forgiveness, so that Linlang can help the second wife. Otherwise, they have torn their faces before, so how can the first wife and Linlang help the younger son?

What Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun said made everyone in the Second House feel ashamed. After all, they had driven the person away a few years ago, and now they had to kneel down and beg for peace. How embarrassing it was. But Madam Sun Second did not say anything against it, because she also felt that since Linlang was rising so fast, maybe they should reconcile with the First House, which would bring benefits to their own family.

But she couldn't bring herself to do it, so she didn't dare to say it.

Sun Linyun was against reconciling with the first wife because she felt it was too embarrassing, but she was afraid that her parents wanted to reconcile, so she didn't say anything.

That is, Master Sun Er immediately objected, saying, "We have already torn our relationship apart. Even if we try to get close to them, they will probably ignore us. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

Master Sun Er was unwilling to reconcile with the first wife, not only because he couldn't bring himself to do so, but also because he was still thinking about letting his daughter enter the palace for the selection next year. What if his daughter was favored after entering the palace? Would he still need to lose face and reconcile with the first wife? So even if he wanted to reconcile with the first wife, he would wait until his daughter was not favored after entering the palace next year.

He always felt that if someone like Linlang could be favored, his daughter was much more knowledgeable and well-mannered than her, so she would definitely be favored even more. He was confident that just as he was better than Master Sun, his daughter would definitely be better than Sun Linlang.

Old Master Sun and Old Lady Sun saw that their youngest son was unwilling to reconcile, and they could not help but feel disappointed. After all, if their youngest son was unwilling to reconcile with the eldest wife, then their youngest son would not be able to rise step by step with Linlang's blessing, which naturally disappointed the old couple. But since their youngest son was unwilling, they could not force him to reconcile with the eldest wife, so they immediately made a suggestion. Seeing that their youngest son was unwilling, although they were disappointed, they could only let it go.

However, Sun Linyun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Master Sun Er had no intention of reconciling with the first wife. She didn't want her family to be humble to the first wife, otherwise she would not be able to stand this change. After all, she had scolded the people of the first wife before, and now she had to be humble to them and reconcile. How could she bear it?

Sun Linyun agreed with Mr. Sun Er's approach, but Mrs. Sun Er disagreed. However, she knew that her husband would not be able to swallow this humiliation, and it was normal for him to be unwilling, so no matter how much Mrs. Sun Er disagreed, she could only let it go.

Although the reconciliation between the second and first wives ended in nothing, Master Sun Er knew that as Linlang became more and more successful and had a higher position in the future, this matter would definitely be brought up again.

Unless his daughter has a good career after entering the palace, this will not happen, so he has now placed all his hopes on his daughter entering the palace next year.

Without mentioning the debate between the Second House and the First House on whether to reconcile, it was only said that Linlang never spent any money to turn over the card, but the emperor still remembered her and summoned her from time to time. This showed that the emperor's summoning of her had already embarked on a virtuous circle. She didn't need to spend money to summon the emperor for the time being. She just needed to use the dream talisman to strengthen the emperor's good impression of her.

And if the emperor has a good impression of her, he will summon her less and less without spending any money. This is a virtuous cycle.

Because the number of times the emperor summoned her increased, unlike before when Linlang spent money to flip the cards, she would only be summoned once every two months. Now the emperor would summon Linlang once a month, and sometimes more than once a month. With such a frequent frequency, Linlang could naturally use the dream talisman to gradually consolidate the emperor's good impression of her, so that when she wanted to advance, she could almost always succeed. It was far from what others thought, that when the rank was high, it would be difficult for Linlang to advance.

For others, it may be difficult to move up, but it is not a problem for Linlang.

So when the New Year was approaching that year, Linlang was promoted to the fourth rank concubine.

Not to mention how others reacted, the other concubines in the palace could not accept it. They felt that if they allowed Linlang to be promoted any further, they would really have no way out, because the remaining soup of the favored Concubine Li would be drunk by Linlang.

Although many people had caused trouble for Linlang before, and were eventually dealt with by Linlang, there were still people who wanted to cause trouble for Linlang, thinking that if they couldn't deal with Concubine Li, they couldn't deal with Sun Linlang who hadn't been fully favored yet? Concubine Li didn't want to fall for Sun Linlang, so they would deal with her!
Many of these people were dealt with by Linlang for their murderous acts, but there were a few who Linlang did not deal with because she wanted to see the effect.

These people did not directly attack Linlang, but instead followed the Empress Dowager Wu's approach, wanting her to stop the emperor from promoting Linlang.

Among them was Concubine Cai, who had said some ambiguous words in front of Linlang before, trying to provoke her to fight with Concubine Li.

After so much time has passed, Concubine Li was promoted to Noble Concubine Li, but Noble Concubine Cai is still Noble Concubine Cai. This woman is very narrow-minded, her heart is smaller than a needle tip, how can she tolerate it.
