Chapter 944 The Best Family 71
The 20% off promotion was very strong, and soon many low-ranking concubines in the palace were upgraded.
Empress Dowager Wu didn't care that all the concubines' upgrades would put financial pressure on the emperor. She just wanted to raise money.
She even complained a little about her son. If the emperor hadn't given her more money, she wouldn't have had to do this.
So she got money through this method, so that the emperor’s harem expenses increased every year. What happened? The emperor is his son, so he should give himself money, right?
She would not think about it. In the past, when the emperor had just ascended the throne and the Cheng'en family was not so abstract, the emperor was very generous and gave her and the Wu family a lot of money.
But who made the Cheng'en family become more and more abstract after they became prosperous? The emperor was disgusted with them, but it was difficult to deal with his uncle's family, so he could only reduce the rewards to express his dissatisfaction.
Originally, a lot of money was given to the Queen Mother every year, but didn’t the Queen Mother give all of it to the Chengen Palace, which made the Emperor uncomfortable? Thinking about it, it seems that if he doesn't give the reward to Duke Cheng'en, the reward to Empress Dowager Wu will have to be reduced. Otherwise, he will express his protest by reducing the reward, which will be in vain.
As a result, the filial piety that Empress Dowager Wu received from her sons became less and less every year, which made Empress Dowager Wu very angry.
But her mother-in-law's family was so shameless that she did not dare to protest to the emperor. After all, the emperor gave everything else including monthly money, annual calendar, and things according to ancestral rules. , it was all extra given by the emperor, and it was not up to the emperor to give as much as he wanted. Even if she protested, she would not be able to protest, and the former ministers would not support her.
Of course, even if she could protest, the former ministers would not let the emperor give her too much money. After all, the emperor's money, the former ministers had always felt that it should be used in more needy areas, such as giving her a harem female dependent. What's the matter with too much money? She has her monthly and annual income. How much money does she want? She can't be greedy.
At the moment, Empress Dowager Wu is worried about her daughter and is also busy raising money for her parents' family. She is very busy every day. Not to mention making things difficult for Linlang, she even canceled the rule for the concubines to sleep in the morning and dusk every day, because she There are too many things to be busy with, This morning and evening routine is such a waste of time. How can she waste so much time? After all, she is old and has to rest when she is tired. Therefore, she does not have much time to be really busy, so she naturally does not waste her time with her son and concubines. The devil is involved.
Linlang could not help but feel satisfied now that not only would she not be made difficult by Empress Dowager Wu, but she no longer even had to ask for permission.
Some people are like this. They have to be beaten by others in order to be honest.
If Empress Dowager Wu had not insisted on causing trouble for Linlang, she would not have encountered these things at the moment, including her natal brother not being imprisoned in Dali Temple, and her daughter not being invited to Dali Temple. Go and have tea.
It was obviously something that was harmful to others and not beneficial to herself, but she insisted on doing it, and then she paid a price that she couldn't bear. Who should she blame, but herself for insisting on being a monster.
Nv Guan Zhang beside her didn’t know that this was Lin Lang’s hand. She just saw that Empress Dowager Wu was very busy. Not to mention the trouble with her master, she didn’t even have to go to say hello. She couldn’t help but put up her hands with joy. He said, "Blessed by Bodhisattva".
Cousin Zhang did not know that Linlang was being made things difficult by the Empress Dowager Wu, because she was not qualified to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager Wu, so she naturally did not know that the Empress Dowager Wu was making things difficult for Linlang. Of course, the main reason was that she didn't ask about what happened to Linlang at Queen Mother Wu's place, so naturally she didn't know about it.
So she still longed for Concubine Li, hugged Concubine Li's thigh, and hoped to be promoted to two more levels, from the fifth rank nobleman, to the rank of nobleman after all. , even if you have a good status in the palace, you can temporarily do business for the family. At the same time, you can also block the mouths of Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun, lest they want their family all day long and apologize to the big house.
Yes, Cousin Sun naturally didn't want to apologize to the eldest house. To be precise, none of the second house mates wanted to apologize to the eldest house.
Although they did not scold the big house that stayed in their house after seeing Old Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun off to Beijing as a vampire and a poor man like Sun Linyun did at that time - this was normal, after all, the big house used to be a vampire. The house is for two bedrooms, now there are two bedrooms It is not normal for them to enjoy wealth and wealth when they become prosperous, but they are called vampires and poor people by the people in the second house. But they don't like outsiders living in the home. They also don't like the group of people in the big house, so they agreed to evict them at that time. Go to the big room.
Since they also agreed to drive away Dafang’s group of people, and now that Dafang has become prosperous, they are naturally unwilling to ask them to compensate Dafang.
This includes cousin Sun.
She had been in the palace for a long time and had not been promoted. She was anxious. She had thought about bowing to Linlang so that Linlang could help her and help her advance. But now that she had been promoted, she naturally did not want to bow to Linlang. .
After Cousin Sun showed up in front of Concubine Li, just as Linlang thought, someone soon began to investigate Cousin Sun's identity, and then they found out that Cousin Sun and Linlang were cousins. The two families were still at loggerheads at that time. He thought that it was no wonder that cousin Sun entered the palace but stopped contacting Linlang. It turned out that the relationship between the two was not good.
Those people were jealous of Linlang's upgrade too quickly and had long wanted to cause trouble for her. Now seeing that cousin Sun was Linlang's cousin, they naturally took advantage of her just as Linlang thought, and planned to use cousin Sun to deal with Linlang. .
According to what they knew, the relationship between the second roommate and the eldest roommate of the Sun family was extremely bad. It was estimated that cousin Sun also wanted to cause trouble for Linlang. They could just lend a hand, so that they could cause trouble for Linlang without having to It would be great if they directly deal with Linlang without any risk.
These people use Cousin Sun to clean up Linlang and want to help Cousin Sun. Some of them directly send low-ranking concubines who are of similar rank to Cousin Sun - people who can investigate Cousin Sun's identity will naturally not be low-ranking concubines. How can low-ranking concubines be like this? power, but a high-ranking concubine with certain strength Concubines, so they couldn't be condescending and go to cousin Sun to talk about this matter in person. They only asked the bastards (low-ranking concubines) who flattered them to do this - they went to cousin Sun and said they would deal with Linlang with her; some secretly Provide convenience for cousin Sun who wants to cause trouble for Linlang, so that cousin Sun can successfully deal with Linlang.
So Cousin Sun saw someone looking for her, saying that Linlang was favored. Can we work together to find a way to deal with Linlang's favor, so that if Concubine Li was favored, Sun Linlang would still be favored, and there would be no way for them to survive.
Obviously, this person pretended not to know about the relationship between cousin Sun and Linlang, and just came to discuss with cousin Sun to deal with Linlang together as if they were competing for favor.
Cousin Sun naturally had no objection to the other party's proposal. After all, before she entered the palace, her father had told her that if she had the chance, she would overthrow Linlang. Without Linlang's support, the big house would collapse. Then her grandparents would not be thinking about it every day, asking their family to compensate Dafang and reconcile with Dafang.
So now someone suggested that they deal with Linlang together with her, and she was naturally willing.
