Chapter 546 The Abandoned First Wife 15
Linlang understands the pain of a person who likes another person but the other person is with someone else, but Linlang doesn’t think it is necessary. If you are heartless, I will let you go.
If the person you like gets together with someone else, and it is Linlang, Linlang will definitely let go immediately, stop talking to the other person, and be jealous of the other person for being with someone else. That is impossible.
Of course, maybe she is too callous, but she is indeed such a person.
Empress Sun was not happy, and Concubine Liu who received the blessing was also unhappy, because after the emperor summoned her once, he stopped calling her. How could she be happy?
God knows that when she first started summoning luck, she was so proud that she showed off in front of other concubines and even Empress Sun.
What was the result? She was immediately slapped hard by the emperor - the emperor summoned her once, but never again. This made Concubine Liu, who was showing off, feel that others were behind her back. She must have laughed to death. After all, she was not favored, so she just got lucky once. What's there to be proud of?
But... She had already asked her father to urge the emperor to favor her once. After urging, the emperor looked for her once, and now the emperor is not looking for her again. Should she still ask her father to urge her? Needless to say, Concubine Liu also knew what it was like. How could a son-in-law not sleep with his daughter, and his father-in-law would follow behind every day to urge her.
But if her father didn't push her, Concubine Liu was afraid of new people entering the palace, which would have nothing to do with her, so she was quite anxious at the moment, thinking about how to solve it.
Obviously she was favored by the emperor, and she should be the most proud among the concubines. However, she is now the most anxious among the concubines. The other concubines who are not favored are not as good as She is so anxious that people really don't know what to say about her.
While Linlang was eating melon, she received the news from Fang Shanggong.
This Fang Shanggong was the one who originally found her a position. She used her surname to make Queen Mother Fang feel that they were a family, so she caught the attention of Queen Mother Fang. She is currently with Queen Mother Fang. The most noble palace in the palace was naturally one of the talkers in the Sixth Bureau. After all, who among the Shang Gong beside Queen Mother Fang dared not to give her the power to talk about the issues.
Now Fang Shanggong handed her a message, saying that there was a vacancy in the Shangyi Bureau and asked her if she was interested.
Linlang is currently working as the head of the Department of Planning and Design under the Shang Dormitory Bureau, responsible for setting up beds, curtains and mats, as well as cleaning and cleaning—actually, this is what Linlang did before, the cleaning department of the higher-level organization.
The master is the eighth rank, the lowest level is a female official with a rank, and the next level is a female official with no rank.
She is in charge of two female historians, and under the female historian, she is also responsible for some palace maids.
Fang Shanggong told her that the Shangyi Bureau was in charge of the etiquette and daily life of the harem, and the classics belonged to the Shangyi Bureau's Jigshu Department, which was the seventh rank, which meant that the rank had been upgraded.
The main task of this department is to teach classics and history, take care of desk supplies, teach concubines and maids etiquette, etc.
This job does not seem to be easy for cannon fodder - although it may happen that when teaching etiquette to newcomers, there will be pressure from higher-ranking concubines to make things difficult for the newcomers, and then the newcomers will be favored and kill them. But the good thing is that at present The most arrogant concubine in the palace is Concubine Liu. Concubine Fang was ordered by the emperor to stay quiet and probably didn't dare to let them do anything. As for Concubine Liu... although she is arrogant, even though Liu Shoufu has a strong background, However, she was also someone who could not command Queen Mother Fang.
Concubine Fang, who could command Queen Mother Fang's people, did not dare to do anything.
In other words, this seat is quite safe for the time being. Linlang feels that she can take it; if it becomes unsafe in the future, it will not be too late to transfer her away.
So Linlang gave Fang Shanggong a small mirror, saying that it was purchased from overseas. The mirrors in this era are all bronze mirrors. Glass like this can reflect people very clearly, but there is no such thing. Such things can be said to be priceless in this era, but for Linlang, in this modern era, The things were not valuable, so Linlang gave them to Fang Shanggong because she didn't want to give valuable things such as silver or gold. The two previous times she gave them were things that were not worth much in modern times but were very valuable in this era.
Obviously, the value of this mirror was conveyed to Fang Shanggong’s heart. After staying in the palace for a long time, she could tell at a glance that this mirror was of great value, so Immediately, he worked hard to provide activities for Linlang, and Linlang was soon promoted to an official position and became the secretary of the Shangyi Bureau.
The residence of a female official of the seventh rank is larger. It is no longer a single room, but has two large rooms. These two large rooms are divided into four small rooms at the front and back. In front of one is a study room. The back is the bedroom, the front of the other is the living room, and the back is the storage room, connected to the bedroom.
Classics not only has a larger residence, but also has a palace maid to serve him.
In fact, before the Palm Garden, there was only one maid in attendance, but now there are two.
Most female officials would set up a couch in the study and let the serving maids sleep in the study and serve them at any time. However, Linlang did not need them to serve her at any time, so she usually asked them to wait on her after her evening bath. , let them go back, so that they can have their own time at least, instead of having to wait for 12 hours a day.
She herself started as a palace maid, and she knew that everyone didn’t like round-the-clock servants.
Not only do I have a bigger place to live, better food, but I also have more salary.
Of course, many female officials who have reached this position have a small salary, but a big salary requires filial piety from all parties.
Some people are greedy and extremely exploitative, but Linlang will naturally not do such a thing. At most, he will accept something like three festivals and two lives of ice and charcoal as filial piety, something that everyone will accept, and he will not ask for anything else from below, so Linlang is still a good person in the hearts of lower-level female officials and palace maids, and her popularity is still good.
I have to say that in the palace, female officials with a certain status may have a better life than those concubines who have fallen out of favor.
Although the concubines are of high rank - like Jieyu, who has a third rank, if they are not favored, the treatment they deserve is often withheld.
As for female officials, even the lowest-ranking female officials, there is no such thing as being favored or not, because once they have a rank, they have the corresponding power, and the treatment they should enjoy can only increase, not the same. Cases of withholding.
Therefore, although her rank is low, her life is much happier than that of a concubine without favor.
Linlang is very happy now.
This is not only due to her popularity, but also because others know that she is the one being protected by Fang Shanggong, and Fang Shanggong is the most popular person around Empress Dowager Fang, so who dares to offend her? Woolen cloth.
Not to mention those two little transparent Jieyu, even Concubine Qian was polite when meeting Linlang, fearing to offend them and bring trouble to herself.
