Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Concubine Yuan was a smart person and it was impossible for her not to understand this truth. However, since she was a smart person, she was a little conceited. She thought that the women in the palace were all stupid and were no match for her, so she would attack anyone she thought would affect her son's ascension to the throne.

She thought what she did was very covert and would not be discovered by anyone, but she didn't expect that there would be a God's perspective like Linlang, who was always watching the palaces. As a result, her little tricks were quickly discovered by Linlang, and then paid special attention to.

If she had known that what she did would be discovered, she probably wouldn't have dared to do it.

Of course, money can’t buy foresight, and as long as she doesn’t know the consequences, her conceited personality will not stop her from harming others. After all, she always conceitedly thinks that others won’t notice her little tricks.

Soon Concubine Yuan died with regret, and it could be considered that Linlang had avenged the concubines she had killed.

When Master Wang saw that Concubine Yuan was beaten to death, he finally felt relieved, so he turned around and wanted to help Concubine Li restore her position.

However, revenge is easy, but it is difficult to improve your status.

After all, to take revenge, one just needs to find the person and kill him, but to improve one's rank, one has to make the emperor happy. Otherwise, if the emperor does not improve Concubine Li's rank, what can Master Wang do?
Master Wang also knew that this was a difficult matter, so he made two preparations, that is, on the one hand, he would help his daughter regain her status, and on the other hand, if he could not restore her status, he would try his best to restore his daughter's favor, and then train his grandson well so that he could please the emperor, so that he might not be unable to become the crown prince in the future. After all, in history, there were cases where the mothers of princes were not very favored, but the princes still made them crown princes.

Of course, the mother of this prince may not be very favored, but she cannot be disliked by the emperor. Otherwise, if the emperor dislikes a concubine too much, he will definitely not make her son the crown prince. Even if he does, he will probably take the concubine away before he dies, to prevent the person he dislikes from becoming the empress dowager in the future and enjoying wealth and glory.

That's why Master Wang said that he must find a way to restore some favor to Concubine Li. Otherwise, if the Emperor continued to dislike his daughter, it would be difficult for his grandson to be made the Crown Prince.

He also wanted his grandson to become emperor in the future, so that his family would become in-laws. In addition, his family would be powerful officials, so they would be extremely powerful in the future.

After all, for his family at this level, it is very difficult to go further. He can only work hard in the royal family and become a royal relative in the future to go further.

At that moment, Master Wang asked Madam Wang to give Concubine Li instructions every time she entered the palace, asking her to do as he said and try to make the Emperor treat her better before the new round of selections. This would prevent her from falling out of favor if new people entered the palace after the new round of selections began.

In fact, it is a bit difficult for Concubine Li to compete for favor now, because Concubine Li is 30 years old now, and she does not look like a young and lively beauty in her twenties. In a few years, she will not even be qualified to put her name on the plate. Then the mourning period will be over, and there will be a talent show, and new people will come in. In this case, isn't it very difficult to compete for favor?

Yes, the mourning period will soon be over, and the palace will welcome a new round of new people.

In the previous selections, the old ladies in the palace were better off, because at that time, they were only in their twenties at most, still young and beautiful, and they didn't have to worry about new people coming in to compete for favor. But now, after so many rounds of selections, the old ladies in the palace are slowly getting older and older, which is considered old and ugly in this era. Many of them will almost never see the emperor again, so now when they see the selection, the old ladies in the palace are actually a little upset, but they don't dare to get angry.

What will happen if they don't dare to get angry and then have a mental breakdown? They will rely on their familiarity with the palace and secretly make trouble for the newcomers, thinking that if I don't have a good life, you won't have an easy life either.

There are many people who have this mentality.

Therefore, the situation faced by those who are selected in the selection and enter the palace now is even worse than when Linlang entered the palace.

When Linlang and the others entered the palace, it was the second selection. The old people in the palace were still very young, and everyone's mentality was not broken. They could still hold on and were willing to compete together. So even though some people came in and were bullied, just like Concubine Liu bullied the lower-ranking concubines in the palace, it was actually considered pretty good.

Nowadays, no matter whether new people are favored or not, there will probably be people who try to trip them up. The people who try to trip them up don't necessarily have conflicts with the newcomers. They simply have the mentality of "If I can't live well, you can't live well either."

After the newcomer entered the palace, not only was the situation she faced worse than when Linlang came in, but even the emperor himself was not as well off as when Linlang came in.

When Linlang came in, the emperor was still a young and handsome man. It was not a disadvantage for a newcomer to do this and that with such an emperor.

But now, after so many rounds of talent shows, the emperor has become a middle-aged man. When young and beautiful newcomers come in, they have to do this and that with a middle-aged man, which makes them completely unable to experience the beauty of a young couple, which is also quite bad.

Therefore, unless there were those who coveted wealth and glory, those who loved their children would no longer send their daughters to the palace for selection. It was not like the beginning of the selection, when the daughters of high-ranking officials were willing to participate in the selection. For example, Concubine Li was the daughter of a fourth-rank official, a high-ranking official. She thought that the emperor was young, and if she was favored, she would not suffer any loss. After all, in ancient times, there were three wives and four concubines. Even if she did not enter the palace and married, she would not have a husband alone. She would share her husband with concubines, or with other women. So, if she entered the palace and married a young, handsome, and powerful emperor, wouldn't it be better if she was favored? Who knows, she could even become the queen mother above millions of people in the future. Wouldn't that be better than marrying an ordinary person? That's why she entered the palace.

I have to say, if her trusted nanny had not gotten into trouble later, and she had acted recklessly, resulting in a drop in status and a fall from favor, she might have actually succeeded.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. Her child was indeed born, and originally he had the potential to become the crown prince. However, she failed in the palace fight, lost her trusted generals, and finally could not handle it on her own. She fell out of favor and was demoted. It was hard to say whether she could still become the empress dowager above millions of people.

Even though her father had taught her mother the ropes, and even though the person her father had arranged had been successfully selected by the nanny and had entered the palace, and she had a confidant to use, she was not sure whether she could gain favor or even restore her position.

But her father's method did seem to work. She used it, and the emperor treated her better recently. Although her position has not been restored, she seems to have regained some favor. (End of this chapter)
