Chapter 959 The Best Family 86
Is killing a chicken to scare the monkey useful? Probably not. When the eunuchs and court ladies saw that the emperor looked at the list and really didn't deal with it, but only killed a few who made too much trouble, they probably put their minds at ease and felt that what they were doing was safer. After all, the emperor only dealt with a few people. There were so many people who committed crimes, but only dealt with a few. In other words, they could continue to do their job. Anyway, there were so many people, and the probability of them being dealt with was still relatively small. In this case, what was there to be afraid of?

Of course, there is still some effect at the moment - the rouge and powder distributed this time, the eunuchs and female officials really did not dare to commit crimes against the wind, so the amounts given were all normal.

Because the amount given was normal, there were naturally no concubines who were not favored. They complained about the unacceptable use of rouge and powder, and Concubine Li's plan was aborted.

Not only did she have a miscarriage, but the emperor also dealt with several people, including hers, causing her to lose some power.

Although as long as she was in charge of the harem, she would still have the opportunity to continue to place people, but Sun Linlang had already been promoted to concubine. Once she was promoted to noble concubine, it was uncertain whether she would still be able to hold all the power. The emperor might let her be in charge of palace affairs together with Sun Linlang. In that case, with Sun Linlang watching over her, it would be difficult for her to place people.

Thinking of this, Concubine Li thought that the time for a new beauty pageant would soon come. At that time, she would ask the female officials who had surrendered to her to select a group of particularly beautiful people. If these particularly beautiful concubines were favored, they would be able to suppress Sun Linlang.

There is no need to worry about driving away the wolf and welcoming a tiger, because the wolf is now becoming more and more powerful and will soon infringe on your interests, so there is no need to worry about the tiger that has not yet arrived. Just deal with the wolf first, and then find a way to drive away the tiger after dealing with the wolf.

Thinking of this, Concubine Li mentioned this matter to her trusted nanny and asked her to arrange it.

After Linlang's counterattack last time, she had begun to doubt those confidants around her, but she still did not doubt this confidant nanny, mainly because this confidant nanny was brought by her from her mother's home, and the other party's family members were all in their home, which was equivalent to hostages, so anyone could be bribed, but this confidant nanny could not be bribed.

Therefore, if she had any confidential matters now, she could only tell this confidant of hers. After that, the other party would propose a solution and she would be responsible for whether she agreed or not.

She was now suspicious of other people. She didn't dare to tell them these confidential matters before she had investigated clearly who could be trusted and who could not.

It must be said that Linlang's move really dealt a heavy blow to Concubine Li. Apart from anything else, now that she wants to harm someone, she doesn't know who to turn to. After all, there is only one confidant nanny she can trust, and she needs to do so many things. Although the confidant nanny is trustworthy, she can't do everything by herself.

Therefore, Linlang's actions obviously affected Concubine Li's speed of action. This was also good for Linlang. At least, it would not be so easy for Concubine Li to cause trouble for her.

As for Concubine Li's plan to find a beautiful person in the upcoming talent show to compete with her for favor...

To be honest, Linlang was not worried about this matter at all, because she was not in the same race as those people. She gained favor through illusion, so no matter whether other people were favored or not, it would not affect the emperor's impression of her, unless that person could be the most favored concubine in the harem and the emperor would no longer look for her. However, that was basically impossible. Throughout the dynasties, there were very few people who could be the most favored concubine in the harem and the emperor would no longer look for anyone else except her.

As long as it does not affect the emperor's impression of Linlang, then when that beautiful person comes in, who will be the one who gets the favor? It might even be Concubine Li. After all, she is getting older and older, and the emperor has favored her for many years. She will definitely get tired of her after a long time. It will be very easy for her to be favored by a young and beautiful newcomer, and in the end, her beauty may fade and the emperor's love may fade.

Those who play with fire will get burned. She wanted to get a beautiful woman to share Linlang's favor, but in the end it became a way to share her favor. That would be interesting. Not to mention that Concubine Li tried every means to deal with Linlang to prevent her from taking her favor, but after Linlang was made a concubine, the people in the main house were really happy.

They came from the countryside, and in fact, before coming to Beijing, they didn't know much about the positions below the concubine. But they had heard of positions above the concubine through storytelling. Concubine and imperial concubine were all heard in storytelling, and one could tell that they were high-ranking officials.

In particular, the eunuchs who came out of the palace to announce the good news could clearly feel the difference.

Since his position became higher and higher, it was no longer just ordinary eunuchs who came out to announce the good news, but the chief eunuch who came out to announce the good news.

Like now, Linlang said that she had become one of the three giants in the palace, and because she was favored, the one who came to announce the good news was actually the chief eunuch beside the emperor.

Although he was not the highest-ranking eunuch around the emperor, he was also a eunuch of a relatively high rank.

Not only was his official position not low, but more importantly, when he came to announce the good news, his attitude was not arrogant at all. He congratulated the Sun family with a smile on his face. Naturally, the Sun family would not be stingy with the congratulatory money, after all, the Sun family was not short of money now. But the other party did not take too much, just a little as a token of his appreciation and left.

Afterwards, Master Sun's staff told Master Sun that the eunuch must have wanted to show goodwill to the Sun family and make friends with them. It was probably because Concubine Sun was favored in the palace, and they, the eunuchs, were afraid that Concubine Sun would be promoted in the future. If they did not show goodwill to Concubine Sun and make friends with her in advance, it would be bad if Concubine Sun didn't like them in the future and persuaded the emperor to replace them with eunuchs who Concubine Sun liked and had a good relationship with. That was why their attitude was so good.

The Sun family then understood why the chief eunuch was so kind to them. You know, according to the information they had heard, none of the eunuchs in the palace were easy to deal with. There were often eunuchs who extorted money from the families of the unfavored concubines. If the families of the unfavored concubines didn't give them money, they would bully those concubines in the palace.

The reason why Concubine Liu was not favored at the beginning but was not bullied was because she had been making money from the concubines of lower positions and personally took care of those eunuchs, so she was not bullied.

It was obviously abnormal that the chief eunuch around the emperor could be so kind to their family. It turned out to be this reason.

How could the Sun family be unhappy when they thought about how Linlang was favored to the point that the eunuchs in front of the emperor had to show their goodwill to the Sun family? For the first time, they experienced the happiness of being a favored concubine's family.

However, the happiness of the favored concubine's family can still continue.

When they heard that their daughter had been made a concubine and became one of the three major figures in the palace, countless people, both known and unknown, came to curry favor with them. There was an endless stream of carriages and horses in front of the Sun family's main house.
