Chapter 933 The Best Family 60
Although she has been in the capital for so many years, cousin Sun has already understood that a favored concubine in the palace will benefit her natal family. So since Linlang is favored, it is normal for Master Sun to follow behind and benefit from it.

For example, Concubine Li. Since she was promoted to Imperial Concubine Li, her father was also promoted from the fourth rank to the third rank thanks to her. Not only that, the emperor also showed great favor by giving her family a title. Although it was only a viscount title, it was still a title after all. Although it was not hereditary, it could be passed down to the son in the future by one level. In other words, Concubine Li's brother would not need to take the imperial examination, and would no longer be a commoner in the future. This shows how much the emperor cared for Concubine Li's family.

In addition to Concubine Li, some of the other favored concubines also benefited their natal families.

Therefore, it is normal for a concubine to be favored in the palace and benefit her natal family.

People in the capital could accept that a favored concubine could benefit her family. After all, it was not easy to please the emperor. If it was easy, why did some ministers in the previous dynasty never get promoted? This shows that pleasing the emperor was never an easy thing.

Being able to please the emperor and get him to give her a high rank, and also benefit her family, that shows that the girl is very capable. It is natural for everyone to think it is normal for such a capable person to benefit her family.

But even if she knew it was normal, I guess her father wouldn't be able to accept it.

Cousin Sun had a good idea. When Master Sun came to tell Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun the good news, saying that thanks to Linlang, he was promoted to the seventh rank, Master Sun II couldn't bear it.

He did know that it was normal for favored concubines to benefit their natal families, but he really could not accept such normality.

Speaking of which, Master Sun Er doesn't like Master Sun Da coming to announce the good news at all.

At first, when the people from the first wife came to announce the good news, he could have ignored it. After all, Linlang was not doing very well at that time, so he did not take it to heart.

On the contrary, he had not found anyone to find out the situation in the palace at that time. It was a good thing for him that Master Sun came to announce the good news, allowing him to understand the situation in the first house.

But now, not to mention that he has already found someone to understand the situation in the palace, even his own daughter is in the palace. He knows the situation of the first wife and Linlang very clearly, and there is no need for him to listen to Master Sun coming to report the good news.

On the contrary, Master Sun's announcement of good news brought him pain, causing him to not like the first wife's announcement of good news at all.

However, they were not telling the good news to him, but to Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun, and he couldn't stop them.

If it were in the past, he might have been able to stop it, but now, the eldest branch was doing better and better, and he didn't even dare to stop it, for fear that Master Sun would tell others that he had stopped him from telling his parents the good news. If others knew about it, it would be bad for his reputation.

After all, if Master Sun wanted to say bad things about him to others in the past, since Master Sun had no status, no one would listen to what he said, so he didn't have to worry.

But now, Master Sun is of the same rank as him, both are of the seventh rank, and Linlang is already a Zhaoyi in the palace. With Master Sun's official position and Linlang's status, no matter what he says to the outside world, others will listen to him.

If he knew what he had done in the past, his reputation would be ruined. So even if he didn't like Master Sun coming to announce the good news, he wouldn't dare to stop Master Sun from coming.

Fortunately, he had already sent his daughter to the palace, so even though Linlang from the first wife was promoted to a high position as the third-rank Zhaoyi, and Master Sun was promoted to a seventh-rank official, Old Master Sun and Old Lady Sun never mentioned reconciliation with the first wife again. They probably thought that once his daughter was favored, he would be able to enjoy all of this, so they didn't mention it.

But Master Sun Er knew that this was only temporary. If his daughter continued to be out of favor for a year or two, while Sun Linlang was still in favor, or even continued to be promoted, Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun would definitely bring up this matter again.

If he didn't want to hear the annoying words from Old Master Sun and Old Lady Sun asking him to reconcile with the first wife, he had to order his daughter to quickly advance in the palace and bring benefits to himself. At that moment, Master Sun II began to act.

The reason why he didn't take action before was because his method was a bit risky, and he was afraid that it would cause trouble in the future, so he never took action.

This method is also simple, which is to let the daughter find a way to seek refuge with Concubine Li.

Concubine Li is so favored, if you can get close to her, it would be much better than getting close to Linlang.

As for Ba Shang Linlang, he didn't know whether Linlang would reconcile with his daughter or whether she was willing to help. Even if she was willing to help, Sun Linlang was not particularly favored, so God knew whether it would be useful.

But Concubine Li is different.

Concubine Li is so favored, if you can curry favor with her, you will definitely be able to rise to a high position.

Not only can her daughter rise high in the palace, but she herself can also rise high outside with the help of Concubine Li's family.

Besides, there was no conflict between his own daughter and Concubine Li, so it would be easier to curry favor with her than with Linlang.

Since it is difficult to win the emperor's favor, pleasing the emperor's favorite concubine is a shortcut.

It’s just that… Concubine Li is so favored, it might not be easy to curry favor with her.

There is another risk. That is, once his daughter is marked as Concubine Li's person, if Concubine Li falls out of favor in the future, or even fails in the palace fight and something happens, then his daughter will also be in trouble.

It was precisely because of this shortcoming that Master Sun Er had not planned to take action before. If there were no shortcomings, he would have taken action long ago.

If she couldn't even get close to Concubine Li, as a last resort, she would have to let her daughter tell the emperor that she was Sun Zhaoyi's cousin and see if she could be promoted.

Without mentioning this final trick, let's just talk about the present moment. After Master Sun Er asked Cousin Sun to take action, Cousin Sun began to think of ways to contact Concubine Li to see if she could get on Concubine Li's big ship.

Outside the palace, Master Sun Er also began to contact Concubine Li's family to see if he could get in touch with them.

Once the connection can be established, the matter will be easy to handle - even if the daughter fails to curry favor with Concubine Li in the palace, she can get in touch with Concubine Li's family outside the palace. Then Concubine Li's family will mention their daughter to Concubine Li, and Concubine Li will probably listen to her family and help her daughter.

It must be said that Master Sun Er had a pretty good plan, but whether it was him or his cousin Sun, trying to curry favor with Concubine Li or Concubine Li's family, their actions were not very smooth.

This is also normal, because Concubine Li is so favored, and her family is a third-rank official, and now it is also a viscount's mansion, a noble family, and there are countless people trying to curry favor with them. Whether it is cousin Sun or Master Sun, if they want to curry favor with them, they have to wait in line because they can't get in.
