Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

However, the palace recruits both palace maids and maids with certain special skills. The former are only those under the age of 18, while the latter are those over the age of 25. Most of them are married people whose husbands have had accidents and are widows.

Although the palace maids can stay in the palace as long as they become female officials and will not leave the palace, logically speaking, there are enough people, but... most of the female officials in the palace are management personnel. There are people with special skills in certain aspects, but not many. So for some things, married people from outside have to be recruited to the palace to do these things. After all, too many unmarried women cannot be left in the palace. Nowadays, men are favored over girls, and there are too many cases of drowning baby girls. If too many unmarried women are detained in the palace, more people outside will not be able to find wives. This is not conducive to population development, and secondly, it is not conducive to social stability. Therefore, the court must not place too many young unmarried women in the palace.

So sometimes when a nanny with certain special skills was needed, the palace would recruit older women who were married and had children to serve in the palace.

Not only could they enter the palace, they also had a certain amount of time outside the palace every month so that they could reunite with their families.

This is why the Wang family can let their own sons enter the palace to participate in the selection. Otherwise, they can only recruit young palace maids into the palace. They are so young and have little experience. How much ability can they have to help Concubine Li?

When Concubine Li received the news, she was naturally relieved. You know, ever since the second nanny was driven away by the emperor, her life has been worse than death, and she needs a helper to help her.

I have to say that the Wang family is quite smart. If Linlang hadn't been keeping an eye on the Wang family's actions, she would not have known that their family had secretly sent someone to participate in the palace's recruitment of a nanny.

Logically, their plan would definitely succeed, because the people they sent were very excellent and would definitely win. Then, they would transfer Concubine Li to their side. Because the person sent by the Wang family was a cook with excellent cooking skills, it would be normal for Concubine Li to be transferred to their small kitchen.

The queen who holds the title of head of a palace in the palace has her own small kitchen. She can ask the palace for a cook herself, or she can bring one in from home.

Most people would hire someone to come in and do the cooking. After all, one has to be careful with food, and no one would dare let someone they don’t trust do it.

But Concubine Li had been ordered by the emperor not to invite anyone from home, so it was normal for her to ask for a cook from the palace.

At that time, Concubine Li said that she was impressed by the cook's cooking skills and wanted to recruit her into her own small kitchen, which would not be a big deal.

Although the Wang family is very smart, sometimes man proposes, God disposes.

Before their people entered the palace, something happened to Concubine Li.

That day, Concubine Li received news that someone was going to harm her son.

Such news was received every now and then, and Concubine Li was almost tired of it.

Although she was tired of hearing the news, Concubine Li could not let her guard down because there was always one true piece of news mixed in with several false news. So every time she received news, she would be on guard as if facing a great enemy.

Now she has learned her lesson. After making several false accusations and making the emperor hate her, she no longer complains. Instead, she takes defensive measures to prevent the enemy from having a chance to attack. That's all.

She would wait until her helpers arrived, and then it would not be too late to take revenge.

Now she is adopting a policy of total retreat.

But, how could the people who secretly wanted to deal with her let her hide? After all, if they succeeded in making Concubine Li hide, how could they deal with her? So, they had to force her out.

How to force? When the enemy repeatedly troubled her, in order to cut off the trouble, she would definitely have to cut off the firewood from the bottom, that is, kill the enemy. And once Concubine Li took action, she would fall into the trap of the secret man.

The person in secret planned well. When Concubine Li received the news that a concubine had repeatedly harmed her son, she defended herself again and again and was exhausted. Finally, she got angry and could not bear it anymore. She ran to the emperor and sued the concubine for harming her son.

In fact, of course not. That concubine did not harm her son. Or, even if she had done it before, at least it was not her who did it this time. It was a smokescreen created by someone who secretly wanted to cause trouble for Concubine Li.

So the emperor checked and found out that the concubine did not do it, which naturally made Concubine Li angry again.

In the past, when Concubine Li was glamorous and beautiful, she falsely accused others, and the emperor could tolerate it because of her beauty. But now, Concubine Li is frequently bombarded with news of those who harmed her son. She is exhausted and haggard, looking old and not pretty at all. Naturally, the emperor no longer has any sympathy for her. Seeing her repeatedly falsely accusing those innocent concubines, he became angry and demoted Concubine Li to Concubine Li, and put her under confinement, making her stay in her own palace to reflect on herself.

During the mourning period for the empress dowager, selection of concubines could not be held, and it was inconvenient to confer high ranks on concubines. But that did not mean that their ranks could not be demoted. So the emperor demoted Concubine Li's rank to Concubine Li, and there was nothing wrong with that.

As the child needed to be kept by her, the emperor allowed her to keep him with her.

When Concubine Li saw that the emperor had demoted her position, she was stunned.

After all, it took her so much effort to be promoted to the position of imperial concubine. Now that she has been beaten back, it will be difficult for her to be promoted again.

Concubine Li really didn't expect that the emperor would demote her.

However, in recent years, the emperor has been increasingly indifferent to her - in fact, it was after this selection that he began to neglect her. She brought in many beautiful concubines from her natal family, and bribed female officials, keeping some of the good-looking concubines in order to use them against Linlang. As a result, these people did attract the emperor's attention, but they took up the share of Concubine Li, causing her to appear to have fallen out of favor.

Of course, that was in the past. Now she has really fallen out of favor.

Not only did the emperor seldom visit her, he even demoted her position. Under such circumstances, it was really difficult for her to get back on her feet, after all, she was old.

There is a rule in this palace that Linlang thinks is a good rule, which is that concubines cannot put up name tags when they are over 35 years old.

In this way, if a person is not favored and cannot put up a name card, he basically cannot see the emperor.

If it wasn't for the purpose of turning her life around and giving the second branch of the Sun family a shock, Linlang would have felt that this rule would be a good thing if it allowed her to be a poor person, because she wouldn't have to see the emperor and could live her own life.

Of course, this rule is not friendly to concubines who want to climb up the social ladder.

Even if a concubine who has climbed to the top of a palace cannot put up a name card, because of her high status, the emperor may still remember her and go find her himself, which is better.

But for those concubines of lower rank, since they could not place a name card, and the emperor could not remember them and would not come to look for them on his own, they were basically widows, which was equivalent to losing their husbands in the common people, which was naturally terrible.
