Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

More than a year has passed, and Cui Lanlan has been lucky enough to be promoted from Cainv to Imperial concubine. Like Cainu, Imperial concubine has no quota and is a low-ranking concubine.

These unlimited concubine titles were all designed to satisfy those emperors who had no restraint in their sexual desire for women. After all the titles of high-ranking concubines were used up, it was impossible to give titles to women who had been lucky enough to do so. In fact, it was a dismissal - - Just give it to the women in the harem who have been lucky enough to pass it by.

So it is said that they have been promoted. In fact, compared with Yunv and Cainv, there is not much difference except that the treatment is slightly better. After all, they are both in the category without quota, and they are all sent casually.

After entering Yonghe Palace, An Ran asked people about Cui Lanlan's residence, and finally found Cui Lanlan in a side hall of Yonghe Palace.

This side hall has three main rooms and two side rooms next to it.

Because there were too many concubines in the palace to live in, Cui Lanlan could not exclusively occupy this side palace. Instead, she lived in the west end, with a main room with two side rooms, which was her residence, and a main room at the east end. With two side rooms, it is another residence for the royal maiden.

The two share a hall.

——To be honest, this is too shabby.

Although she only has one room, and they have three rooms to use, she is just a female official, and she is a concubine. The result is this, is this?

That is to say, the conditions of Cui Lanlan's family are not very good, otherwise they may not be able to bear these conditions.

Because the sun was shining outside, Cui Lanlan, who was bored in the room reading a book, heard that someone was looking for her. She couldn't help but wonder who would be looking for her. After all, she didn't do well in the palace, and not many people were willing to make friends with her. , who could be looking for her?

As a result, someone brought her in for a look, only to find that it was my uncle's cousin. I couldn't help being pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly came up to her and said, "Cousin, why are you here?"

Although she knew that her cousin was selected as a palace maid, she didn't go to An Ran because she didn't do well. After all, if An Ran had a good background, she would be able to find a backer, but An Ran couldn't. It was a palace maid - she didn't know that An Ran had been promoted - she went to look for her, but not only could she not find a backer, but people also laughed at her for having a palace maid relative.

Cui Lanlan was a little concerned about face, so she didn't go to An Ran.

But now that An Ran came, she was still very happy. Of course, this was mainly because she saw that An Ran was not wearing ordinary palace maid clothes, but eighth-grade female officer clothes, so she was so happy, otherwise An Ran would have to She is still an ordinary palace maid, and she may not be very happy if she comes to see her. After all, if the bitch opposite sees her and laughs at her cousin for being a palace maid, that would be bad.

But now that An Ran is an eighth-grade female officer, it's different.

You know, a royal concubine like her is only at the seventh level. This is because of her status as a concubine, so she has a high starting point. Otherwise, it would be difficult to upgrade like a palace maid, so she can only be regarded as a female history level now. The palace has only been upgraded by one level, unlike An Ran, who has been upgraded by two levels even after entering the palace.

An Ran didn't know what Cui Lanlan was thinking. After listening to the other party's inquiry, he said: "I was busy with affairs before and didn't have time to come and see you. Now that I have some free time, I came to see you. How are you? I've been doing well for more than a year. ?"

Cui Lanlan secretly thought that it was strange that it was good, not good at all. The emperor was really too old, and it did not fit in with her beautiful fantasy about her husband at all - after all, she was still a beauty in her 28th year, so she naturally had some beautiful fantasy about her future husband. ——It doesn't matter if it doesn't meet her expectations for her future husband. In more than a year, she has been lucky to her twice in total. Now she hasn't been to her for almost half a year. How can she get pregnant? If she can't get pregnant, what else can she do? Give birth to a little prince and become the queen mother in the future?

So even if the emperor is old and ugly, she still wants to fight for his favor so that the emperor can favor her and give her a prince.

As a result, even if she endured her nausea and fought for favor, she still couldn't win it. There were too many women in the harem, and there were too many people competing for favor, and she couldn't get ahead of her.

This was because she was not favored, so she used some means to win favor so that no one would cause trouble for her. Otherwise, not only would it be difficult to fight for favor, but she would also have to face rejection from others. The palace was so scary.

Although her life was not good, Cui Lanlan was saving face and didn't want to show weakness in front of her cousin and make An Ran look down on her, so she deliberately pretended to be nice and said: "Okay, of course, you see, I've been promoted to a level now. , she is a queen, not a favored person, so she cannot be upgraded at all."

It’s weird to be favored. Do you think she doesn’t know? The most favored one right now is Concubine Wang. There are several other concubines who are also favored, but I have never heard of Cui Lanlan’s name. After all, as long as you are favored a little, you will hear the name, and then you can at least be promoted. To those who are talented or above.

However, since Cui Lanlan said this, An Ran would not be stupid enough to question it. After all, Cui Lanlan would probably be unhappy if she heard this slap in the face, so An Ran said immediately: "In that case, I'm relieved. Ask your family Regarding your situation, next time I write a letter, I will write that you are living a good life in the palace, do you think that’s okay?”

Cui Lanlan said: "Of course you can, don't forget to write that I have been promoted to the seventh rank imperial daughter."

An Ran nodded and said, "Yes."

In fact, concubines who are not favored are worse than female officials. After all, female officials have real power. Concubines are like pets raised by the emperor. They can do whatever they want with the power given by their master. If they are not favored, they have no power at all.

Therefore, she is a seventh-grade imperial concubine, which seems to be higher than An Ran, but in terms of true status in the palace, she is worse than An Ran.

After sitting for a while, An Ran went back and wrote a letter to tell his family about Cui Lanlan's situation.

Of course, it was written based on what Cui Lanlan said, not Cui Lanlan's true situation. After all, she can't go against the wishes of the person involved and write back how miserable she was. Then don't hate her to death if she finds out one day. Got her.

Her family members were relieved when they heard that their daughter was doing well in the palace and had been promoted to a seventh-grade imperial daughter.

After seeing Cui Lanlan, An Ran became busy with department affairs.

But she said that now she was in charge, and Wu Nushi, who had a good relationship with her in the past, was also in charge.

The two had a good relationship before, and logically speaking, they should have a good relationship now.

However, the situation is exactly the opposite.

Ever since An Ran became the manager, her relationship with the former Wu daughter Shi Xian Wu became the manager.

The reason is also very simple, because their boss, Li Dianbu, has always had a good impression of An Ran.

And now there are rumors outside that Li Dianbo is likely to be promoted in the three-year selection process in the next year. Who will hold Dianbo's position at that time is not sure, although Zhang Sibo, who is above him, is very interested in Wu Zhangbo. It's fair to say that Li Dianbo is favored, but Li Dianbo is better to An Ran. In the future, Li Dianbo will be promoted, and his position will be similar to that of Zhang Sibo. One of them will be favored. Maybe the one who gets promoted will be An Ran. .
