Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

As for cousin Sun, just as Linlang thought, she asked Concubine Li to pray for blessings for her son, and she helped all those who flattered her. Cousin Sun wanted to be promoted, so Concubine Li helped her to speak to the emperor, saying that she wanted to accumulate blessings for her son. The emperor thought that promoting cousin Sun was not a big deal, so he listened to Concubine Li and promoted cousin Sun to the sixth rank of Baolin.

Not only was cousin Sun promoted, but everyone else who tried to curry favor with Concubine Li in order to get a promotion, as long as their rank was not very high, was promoted one level.

Of course, if one's rank is already high, it would be a bit difficult to get promoted to the next level. Concubine Li would generally not help those who are already of high rank and ask the emperor about this matter, lest the emperor is unwilling. Either the emperor would not agree to the promotion, and she would be embarrassed, or the emperor would reluctantly agree, which would give her a bad impression, which would not be worth it.

Even though she is in favor now, that is all maintained by her. She dare not take advantage of the favor and become arrogant. After all, the emperor can favor her, but if she angers the emperor, he can stop favoring her in a minute. So how could she dare to act recklessly?

You know, besides her, there are other favored people who are eyeing her covetously, so she has to act carefully.

Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about Concubine Sun. Before, others instigated her to deal with Concubine Sun. At that time, Concubine Sun's position was still very low. She had been dismissive and wanted to let the other party be promoted to the position of the mistress of the first palace first. Unexpectedly, so soon, the other party was really promoted to the position of the mistress of the first palace, and was still in favor. She really had to be more vigilant.

Although there are still three levels from concubine to noble consort, and each level is extremely difficult to upgrade, one cannot help but be on guard. After all, although the other party is not as favored as he was in the past, every step he takes is extremely steady, so one must be careful with this kind of person.

In addition to Concubine Sun, there are other people who are somewhat favored, and we must also be on guard against them.

So even though she was favored, she didn't dare say that she was very relaxed and had no worries at all.

Fortunately, she now has a son. As long as she raises her son well and relies on her relationship with the emperor, if her son can ascend to the throne in the future, everything will be fine.

She didn't expect her to be favored forever. After all, she would no longer be favored when she got older. But as long as there was still some relationship between her and the emperor, and her relationship with the emperor was better than that of other concubines who had sons, her son would have a greater chance of winning. She only had to guarantee this point. She couldn't guarantee more. After all, who could guarantee the future?

Putting aside other things, logically, since the emperor doted on her so much and was so happy that she gave birth to a son, shouldn't he take this opportunity to raise her status and make her an imperial concubine?
But when she looked at the emperor's attitude, she found that the emperor had no intention of making her a royal concubine. Obviously, although the emperor doted on her, he did not dote on her to a great extent. It could only be said that his doting was limited. So she did not dare to ask the emperor to promote her.

Since the favor is limited, she naturally dare not be too careless.

Without mentioning Concubine Li's thoughts, it is said that Cousin Sun saw that she was indeed promoted to a higher level, and her confidence in Master Sun Er became stronger. At the same time, she also strengthened her idea of ​​clinging to Concubine Li's thigh. After all, it is obvious that currying favor with Concubine Li is much better than currying favor with her cousin.

Those who tried to curry favor with her cousin were definitely those who could not curry favor with Concubine Li. After all, look, those who tried to curry favor with Concubine Li all gained benefits with the help of Concubine Li. Some were promoted, some got the opportunity to sleep with Concubine Li, some female officials got better jobs, and so on.

Those people can get these benefits by currying favor with Concubine Li, and they are not stupid. If they can curry favor with her, they will definitely come to curry favor with her. If they don’t come, it is definitely because they cannot curry favor with her, so they have to settle for the next best thing and curry favor with her cousin.

Did the person who flattered her cousin gain any benefit? It seemed not, at least she didn't see it.

Those people are really fools who try to curry favor with others when there is no benefit in doing so.

Then, are those who flatter Linlang really fools? Of course not fools, they must be profitable, so they keep flattering Linlang, because if there is no profit, just like what Sun's cousin said, they are fools, and they keep flattering Linlang.

In fact, Linlang had never thought about recruiting any younger brothers. After all, she only wanted to move towards her own goal.

However, she also didn't want to make enemies, so she would naturally not offend those who showed goodwill.

In addition to not wanting to offend, if someone is bullied and Linlang finds out it is true and it is not a false accusation, she will lend a helping hand.

Now that she is favored and has a high position, she doesn't have to do anything to help someone who is being bullied. She only needs to say a few words and the other party will give in. Knowing that the person is protected by Linlang, they dare not touch him.

So, how can it be useless to cling to Linlang? Obviously, it still has its benefits.

Without mentioning whether there are any benefits to currying favor with Linlang, it was only said that cousin Sun successfully got promoted to a higher level by currying favor with Concubine Li, which made Master Sun Er breathe a sigh of relief.

You know, ever since Linlang was promoted to concubine and there has been no news about cousin Sun entering the palace, both Old Master Sun and Old Lady Sun seemed to want to say something again.

Now that his daughter has been promoted to a higher level, the old couple shut up. They probably thought that it seemed that their grandson cousin could also be promoted, so they could wait and see about the situation. It was not necessary for their youngest son to reconcile with the eldest wife.

Otherwise, when they saw Linlang being promoted to the position of the head of the first palace, which was said to be a very high rank, and Linlang also got a seventh-rank job for Master Sun, Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun would force him to reconcile with the first wife. After all, Master Sun did not pass the imperial examination, but Linlang was able to help him get a seventh-rank job, not to mention that he was a Jinshi, and Linlang could get him a better job with just a few words? Why did they have to be in a stalemate with the first wife and not reconcile?

This is also the reason why Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun want the Second Master Sun to reconcile with the first wife.

In fact, it is true. With Linlang's current favor and ability to persuade the emperor, it would only take a few minutes for the emperor to promote him. It is estimated that with his Jinshi background and Linlang's persuasive ability, it would not be difficult for him to be promoted to the fifth rank.

However, he did not want to bow to the first wife, so naturally he did not want to reconcile with her. He just wanted to work hard on his own, let his daughter take away Linlang's favor, and then his daughter would promote him.

Therefore, he would not reconcile with the first wife, but would only let his daughter continue to cling to Concubine Li so that she could get more benefits.

He will also try hard to get into the circle of Concubine Li's father to see if he can get his official position promoted.

That is, whether it is to manage Concubine Li's circle or her father's circle, a lot of money is needed. He is a little short of money now. Sometimes he wants to spend money to please Concubine Li's family, but he has no money. This makes him covet the money of the first wife. (End of this chapter)
