Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 932 The Best Family 59
Cousin Sun only knew that she did not advance as her father had expected after serving the emperor, which created enough pressure for her, because this was the first time since she entered the palace that something happened that was beyond her father's expectations.

When she thought about some things in the palace that did not develop as her father had expected, she began to doubt whether her father could help her get promoted to a high position in the future. Once she doubted, would she be free of pressure? After all, she was going to the palace to enjoy wealth and glory, not to sit on the bench and sacrifice her whole life.

So she immediately told her father about this change.

Only then did Master Sun Er realize that there was one thing that was beyond his control, that is, whether the emperor would allow his daughter to be promoted was not something he could control.

He used to think that he could control this matter. The reason he had this confidence was that he heard that in the palace, everyone would be promoted after serving the emperor for the first time. So when his daughter entered the palace, he bought her the position of a seventh-rank lady. He then planned to use this 100% promotion to get promoted again, and then think of other ways to get promoted.

I originally thought this would be 100% feasible, but now it seems that it may not be so.

My daughter told me that she also found out that a few people did not get promoted after serving the emperor in bed, and they were generally people with higher positions. It was probably because she had a higher position when she entered the palace, so she did not get promoted after serving the emperor in bed.

However, he had a backup plan - that is, if she could not be promoted, he would let his daughter tell the emperor that she was the current favored concubine and the cousin of Sun Zhaoyi, and perhaps she could be promoted.

But this was a tactic that would not be used unless it was absolutely necessary, for she was afraid that after her daughter said this, Sun Linlang would not give her face and would directly tell the emperor that she had broken off relations with the second house and that she did not have such a sister. In that case, let alone promotion, the emperor doted on Sun Linlang and might be furious and send his daughter to the cold palace.

Right now, he still has other ways to help his daughter upgrade, so there's no need to be so anxious.

After entering the palace, cousin Sun did not go to find Linlang as instructed by Master Sun Er, because they had a falling out with the first wife. She was afraid that if she went to find Linlang, not only would Linlang not help her, but she would also trip her up, which would be bad.

Even if you don't trip her up, it would be bad to embarrass her in public, so it's better to stay away from her.

Now that Cousin Sun sees that Linlang has been promoted to Zhaoyi, such a high position and is so favored, she has an impulse in her heart. That is, she wants to contact Linlang and see if she can help her.

Although she knew that the second and first wives had already fallen out, and logically, Linlang would not help her, but she was envious of Linlang's favor and had unrealistic fantasies, thinking that after all, they were all sisters from the same family, and maybe her cousin would help her. Unlike what her father said, not only would she not help her, but she would also cause trouble for her.

Yes, although Master Sun Er repeatedly told Cousin Sun not to look for Linlang before being sure of her attitude towards her, Cousin Sun was not doing well in the palace, so she couldn't help but have such unrealistic ideas. She wanted Linlang to help her. She felt that given Linlang's favor, as long as Linlang was willing to help her, it would only take a few minutes for her to become a noble lady or above.

If it was Master Sun Er who was here now, he would never have such unrealistic thoughts, because the relationship with the first wife was so tense in the past. Every time the first wife came to announce the good news to Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun, they basically acted as if they had never seen the second wife and did not talk to them at all. Sun Linlang was even more desperate and entered the palace just to take a chance. After doing such a tragic move, they still expected her to reconcile with the second wife and then help her. How is that possible? You have to know that she entered the palace just to counterattack the second wife and climb over her in the future. How could she help the second wife to gain wealth and glory?

But it was not Master Sun Er who was in the palace. Although Master Sun Er felt that he was controlling his obedient daughter in the palace, it was almost the same as if he were in the palace. His daughter was just a puppet in his hands, but in fact, it was still different. No matter how much she was a puppet, she was still a living person. How could she do everything Master Sun Er said? Especially when she did not advance in the first bed, which was beyond Master Sun Er's design, Cousin Sun had no confidence in whether Master Sun Er could lead her to advance step by step.

On the contrary, seeing Linlang's rapid advancement, he always felt that his cousin was more capable. He should rely on her and ask her for help, or at least give her some pointers on how she could be promoted. After all, there must be some tricks behind his cousin's rapid advancement.

Besides, cousin Sun felt that Master Sun, as a man, had no idea how women competed for favor. His methods might not necessarily impress the emperor. On the contrary, her cousin really impressed the emperor, who promoted her repeatedly and gave her benefits from her family. It was obvious that her cousin was much better at competing for favor than her father. She should listen to Linlang instead of her father.

It was because she had lost confidence in the advice of Master Sun Er that Cousin Sun wanted to ask Linlang for help.

Little did she know that some of the tips that Master Sun Er gave her were actually quite good in Linlang's opinion. After all, men understand men, so the methods that Master Sun Er told his cousin Sun to do were actually useful.

It’s just that Linlang has the Dream Talisman plug-in, so it seems that Master Sun Er’s method is not as powerful as hers.

Cousin Sun was actually wrong.

Although cousin Sun was wrong and thought that she was more powerful and that Master Sun was not as good as her and wanted to learn from her, Linlang would definitely not meet her, let alone help her advance.

Fortunately, although cousin Sun wanted to ask Linlang for help, she had kept Master Sun's instructions in mind for the time being. She was also afraid that Linlang would not only not help her but would also deal with her. So although she wanted to ask Linlang for help, she had not taken any action for the time being.

Seeing that her cousin Sun did not take any action, Linlang nodded, thinking that it was a good thing that the girl did not take any action, otherwise, if she scolded her back, she would not say that she was too mean to her. After all, that was how their second branch treated the people in the first branch.

Cousin Sun didn’t dare to ask Linlang for help for the time being, so she continued to spend money flipping the cards.

Although she was turned over by the emperor once or twice afterwards, and Cousin Sun's performance was still quite good, at least she did not lose her composure due to her eagerness for quick success and did not make any foolish moves that displeased the emperor, but no matter how well she performed, she did not succeed in advancing, which made Cousin Sun more and more anxious.

In particular, the emperor kept summoning Linlang, and soon after, he promoted Master Sun to the seventh rank, the same rank as Master Sun II, which made cousin Sun even more anxious.

She believed that her father, Master Sun Er, would be anxious upon hearing the news. After all, if his rank continued like this, one day her uncle, Master Sun Da, might have a higher rank than her father.

She couldn't bear the thought that her father, a distinguished Jinshi who had worked hard to pass the imperial examination, was not even as high in rank as Master Sun, who was granted a higher rank by the emperor because his daughter was favored in the palace. She probably couldn't bear it either.
