Chapter 977 The Best Family 104
Fortunately, his two older brothers did not get jobs right from the beginning, but only got jobs when they were in their twenties or thirties. He has not reached that age yet, so there is no need to rush.

If he reached the age of his two older brothers but still had no job, he would start to worry that he might have done something wrong in the past and made his sister unhappy, or that he had not studied well and his sister thought he was incompetent, which led to her being unwilling to find him a job.

Now that he saw that his sister had arranged a job for him, he was naturally happy, thinking that his guess was right. His sister had no problem with him, but she just didn't reach the age, so she didn't arrange a job for him.

However, since the eldest wife was conferred the title of Viscount, she had the opportunity to attend court and palace banquets.

In addition, Madam Sun can also enter the palace to see Linlang.

Of course, this only applies to Madam Sun. Master Sun is a foreigner and still cannot enter the harem to see Linlang.

As for the sisters at home, they were also unable to enter the palace to see Linlang.

According to the rules of this dynasty, only biological parents can enter the palace to meet concubines, and only concubines of a certain status are eligible. After all, there are so many concubines in the harem. If anyone can apply for their mother to enter the palace to meet them, then the imperial palace will become a vegetable market.

Generally speaking, concubines above the rank of imperial concubine can apply to the person in charge of the harem - currently Concubine Li and Linlang - to allow their mothers to come to the palace to see them.

The number of applications per year is limited and linked to the rank. The higher the rank, the more times family members can visit the palace. It is impossible to apply to visit at any time.

So when Linlang was promoted to concubine, Madam Sun should have been able to enter the palace to see her.

However, Linlang knew that applying for Madam Sun to come to the palace to see her would definitely be blocked by Concubine Li or Empress Dowager Wu, which would be a troublesome matter. Besides, she had no such need, so she did not apply for it and let Madam Sun come to the palace to see her.

It was after Linlang was promoted to Imperial Concubine that she became the manager of the harem. She no longer needed to apply to other people. As long as she allowed her mother to visit her in the palace the number of times each year, within the regulations for Imperial Concubine to see her relatives, she was allowed to see her. Only then was Madam Sun allowed to enter the palace to see her.

Of course, at that time, Linlang no longer needed to apply to anyone, but could summon Madam Sun to the palace to see her herself.

Mrs. Sun, who entered the palace for the first time, naturally felt that everything in the palace was amazing. She also discovered that the palace was just as she had imagined, magnificent and with huge palaces.

Although Linlang told her that only the Imperial Noble Consort and the Empress could occupy a palace alone, and that all those below the rank of Noble Consort had to live together with lower-ranking concubines and could not occupy a palace alone, Madam Sun felt that even if she could not occupy a palace alone, being able to occupy the main hall alone was already good enough, after all, there were quite a few rooms in the main hall alone.

Their family hasn't bought a house with a garden yet - Madam Sun came to the palace to visit Linlang when the eldest branch of the Sun family hadn't been conferred a title yet, so although the house of the eldest branch of the Sun family was not small at that time, it wasn't particularly big either - and it was impossible for one person to live in such a large place alone. It was usually her son's family who lived in several houses, which were much more cramped than Linlang's place. So Madam Sun didn't think that Linlang's place was small at that time. After all, Linlang lived in so many rooms by herself, it was not small.

Even when he was later conferred a title and granted a house, it was still a small courtyard for a family of several people. It was impossible for one person to live in many rooms.

So Madam Sun didn't think Linlang lived in too crowded a place.

When he came back and told his family about the palace, he also said that the palace was very large and beautiful. Master Sun had also been to the palace to express his gratitude, so he naturally knew about this situation.

After listening to the description of Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun, the other people in the family were naturally very envious and wanted to see the palace as well.

But at that time, they couldn't enter the palace to take a look.

It was not until the emperor bestowed the title on the eldest branch of the Sun family that they were eligible to attend the palace banquets during festivals and holidays, and they could bring a specified number of family members with them. Only then did other members of the eldest branch of the Sun family become qualified to enter the palace and take a look.

Therefore, every time they went to the palace to attend a palace banquet, Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun would take turns bringing their children to the palace to broaden their horizons.

Therefore, every time a palace banquet was held in the palace, it became something that everyone looked forward to. After all, there were so many people who had never attended a palace banquet, and the number of people that could be brought each time was limited. Everyone had to take turns, and it would take a long time before it was a turn. So isn't it something that everyone looked forward to? After all, being able to enter the palace and look around is something that everyone wants to experience. Ordinary people cannot see what the palace looks like. This way, when you go out, you can also chat about it with relatives and friends.

The eldest branch of the Sun family developed slowly, so the relatives and friends they made were naturally of different levels. Some of the friends they made in the early days were naturally not of high level, so these people had naturally never been to the palace. When they heard the Sun family members talk about how magnificent the palace was, they were naturally curious and yearning for it, which greatly satisfied the eldest branch's desire to brag.

Without mentioning how the eldest wife boasted about the situation in the palace in front of relatives and friends, it was only said that Empress Dowager Wu, who had long been discovered to be in poor health by Linlang, finally fell ill and could not get up.

He didn't fall ill for no reason, he just caught a cold, and his health was not good to begin with, so his condition got worse and worse.

Needless to say, high-ranking concubines such as Linlang naturally had to serve the emperor when he was sick.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Wu was almost dying and could not torment her anymore, so Linlang did not feel any discomfort.

In addition, Empress Dowager Wu's illness this time was severe and she soon fell into a coma. There was no need for Linlang and others to take care of her because there were eunuchs and palace maids to serve her.

After all, concubines like Linlang were not professional servants. If they had to pretend to serve Empress Dowager Wu, it would be bad if they failed to serve her well. On the contrary, their lack of expertise affected Empress Dowager Wu's condition, so when the Empress Dowager Wu fell into a coma, the emperor asked the eunuchs and palace maids to take care of her and the imperial doctors to watch over her, and no longer let Linlang and others serve her.

Of course, the main reason was that the emperor was afraid that the disease would be passed on to Linlang and others, and then he would ask Linlang and others to sleep with him, and the disease would be passed on to him, which would be bad. So soon he stopped letting Linlang and others sleep with him, and asked eunuchs and palace maids to serve him instead.

However, Empress Dowager Wu was already dying, and even with the care of professional personnel, she could not be saved.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Wu died not long after, Linlang couldn't help but think that the series of things she had done recently were really done in a timely manner. Otherwise, with the death of Empress Dowager Wu, not only would she not be able to be promoted to Imperial Concubine, but her natal title and her brother's job would definitely be hopeless for a while.

Now, she was taking advantage of the fact that Empress Dowager Wu had not passed away yet and was rushing to get these things done, but it was not done in a timely manner.

For example, Master Sun Er did it very untimely - the Empress Dowager Wu had passed away, and I was afraid that there would be no selection of concubines the year after next. At least the emperor would have to wait until the end of mourning before holding a selection, which would be three years later.
