These days, Han Changyi inquired with the old people who knew the situation in the palace. It was said that if he wanted to promote the female officials around the Queen Mother from dressing gown to palace servant, it would cost 200 taels; to promote from palace servant to husband, it would cost 500 taels. two.
If Sun Linlang had purchased both upgrades before, she would have spent only three hundred taels, plus the emperor's upgrade, she would be promoted to Beloved.
But if Sun Linlang was favored by the emperor from the beginning and was promoted to the dressing room, and she bought two more levels from the dressing room, it would cost 700 taels of silver, which would be an extra 400 taels. I want to come to Sun Linlang Even if she had money, four hundred taels would not be a small sum for her, so Sun Linlang was not lucky. She only spent three hundred taels to be promoted to husband, while she was still changing clothes.
This inevitably made her feel more and more uncomfortable as she thought about it. Thinking about why she was so unlucky, forgetting that she had no money, she was still unlucky. Thinking about this, she became less and less fond of Linlang. They all came in together, but the gap is getting wider and wider. Who can be happy about this?
Linlang could see that Han Changyi was unhappy, but she just pretended not to see it. After all, she had no obligation to comfort someone who was angry for no reason.
She is not afraid that her level is higher than that of Han Gengyi, and what Han Gengyi will do to her. She will only act according to her own plan. If she rises faster and makes others unhappy, she will not dare to upgrade. Unless she It's a fool.
Besides, she actually doesn’t really want to associate with people like Han Changyi.
Just a few days ago, the maid next to Han Gengyi was muttering to her maid, and she overheard her. After all, she practiced martial arts. Although they spoke in a low voice, so did she. Heard it.
Yes, even though they have a low status, they are still served by a maid.
When he reaches the seventh rank, there will be one more palace maid to serve him.
The palace maid complained to Linlang's palace maid, saying that Han Changyi looked soft and weak on the surface, and looked like he was easy to bully, but in fact he was not a thing. In private, he was very strict with her, punishing her at every turn, and the way he punished her was not good. It's simple. Usually she won't be beaten, nor will she be punished by standing or kneeling. She will be fined. If she makes a mistake, she will be fined 50 cents. She is a low-level palace maid who doesn't have much money per month, but she is still treated like this. There is often not much money left after a month.
She said that although food and accommodation were provided in the palace, her money was indeed not needed, but she still wanted to save some money so that she could go out when she was old enough to be used as a dowry or give some money to her parents' family. It would be good if she didn't get married and used it to support her old age. She had to change clothes with Han all the time, and all the money was fined by her. How could she save any money.
After hearing the complaint of the palace maid Han who was changing clothes, Linlang felt a little sympathy for her. She said that her master (that is, Linlang) was a very good person and had never done anything like this. Sometimes she did something wrong. Linlang was just talking about it and wouldn't do anything to her.
Linlang's palace maid was very happy after hearing the complaints from Han's dressing-up palace maid. After that, she became more serious about doing things around Linlang. After all, it is rare to have a kind-hearted master in the palace these days. of.
When Linlang heard this complaint, she immediately understood why Han Changyi wanted to fine the little palace maid. It was simply that her money was robbed by Liu Concubine. She followed suit and robbed the little palace maid. money.
Linlang naturally didn't like such a person. After all, who would want to associate with a person who was wronged and didn't dare to resist, but only dared to vent his anger on the weaker ones and deduct the palace maid's monthly payment. Not to mention that Han Changyi was unhappy and wondered if it would hurt Linlang, but he said that after hearing Linlang's latest promotion news, the second room was completely numb.
When they first heard that Linlang had entered the palace, they were disdainful, thinking that Linlang had no money and did not please the emperor - if he liked it, he would not have done it when he entered the palace. The association only granted the lowest level of Cheng'en - it was impossible to upgrade, so it was okay for Linlang to enter the palace.
After being promoted again and again, their speculations were shattered. They were shocked and anxious at first, but now they are numb. After all, there are too many promotion news, can they not be numb?
People who were losing money were worried that Linlang would not upgrade before the holidays as before, which would make it difficult for them to enjoy the holidays. Then, don’t upgrade before the New Year, which would make people unhappy.
I don’t know if Linlang will be upgraded before the Chinese New Year, but she has been upgraded now.
It is only two months before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Sun Linlang has been upgraded again. At this rate, there will definitely be another upgrade before the Chinese New Year.
How come it upgrades so quickly! According to the information they heard, other low-ranking concubines were not promoted so quickly!
Yes, they have spent money to inquire about the news. It was a family that Mr. Sun Er finally found in the suburbs of Beijing. There was a eunuch in the family. When the eunuch left the palace, they contacted him. Yes, I paid the other party to inquire about it.
The palace maids basically cannot leave the palace, but the eunuchs can leave the palace as long as they have the opportunity and are relatively free. This is why Mr. Sun Er will ask the eunuchs for information.
Although the eunuch is at the bottom of the palace and cannot inquire about any confidential information, he can still find out the public information, such as the promotion status of the lower-ranking concubines in the palace this year, and then the people in the second chamber will find out that those who entered the palace this year Of those fifty people, some were indeed promoted level, but when it comes to being fast, there are very few. For example, Linlang was promoted two levels in a row before, and he was already considered fast when he was promoted from the eighth-grade palace. Now that he has reached the eighth-grade beloved, his promotion speed is definitely considered among the newcomers this year. He is among the best. After all, he has only been in the palace for half a year, and there are not many people who have been promoted to three levels in a row.
No way, folk showgirls have no backstage and no money to give to flop eunuchs. If they get a few more flop opportunities, it is difficult to get ahead. People who get ahead all rely on their good looks to gain popularity. Only if the emperor likes you can you level up. If you want to please the emperor, let the emperor help you. It was not easy for them to be promoted to a higher position, because the emperor knew that they were from civilian backgrounds and felt that they could be dismissed by giving them any position. Unlike the daughters of officials, if the other party's father had a higher official position, in order to show his respect, The official's preferential treatment will usually give him a good position.
For this reason, someone like Linlang, who is not very favored, can be promoted to three levels in a row, which is considered extremely fast. It is no wonder that the second room heard that Linlang was promoted to an eighth-level beloved, and saw Linlang promoted to a level in a while. After a while, I was upgraded to a level, and I was already a little numb.
Of course, I am even more worried.
In the past, they thought that Linlang could not pose a threat to them. Now seeing how quickly Linlang was promoted, they did not dare to say such words anymore, and they felt very uneasy.
What made them even more annoyed was that Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun didn't understand the things in the palace. They only heard the good news from the eldest chamber, saying that Linlang had been promoted to the eighth rank in the palace. They couldn't help being pleasantly surprised, thinking that the palace people His rank was similar to that of the ministers of the previous dynasty. He said some things that made them angry, such as saying that Linlang was as promising as Mr. Sun Er. (End of this chapter)
