Concubine, she rises step by step

Concubine Chun tried her best to suppress her emotions and asked, "Suo Shutong? What are you asking her for?"

Tang Yan's eyes lit up, "Brother Chen, I just wanted to inquire."

The pure concubine has always had no reservations about her younger brother, but when it comes to Suo Shutong, she is only in a nutshell: "She is Suo's girl, the queen's distant niece."

Soxhlet girl?That means that she is not married. Although she is the queen's distant niece, being able to enter the palace also means that she is very powerful.

Thinking of this, I have more ideas in my heart.

The concubine Chun didn't know these thoughts of her younger brother, and she was full of satisfaction and wanted him to make contributions and win glory for the Tang family, "You don't have to think too much on weekdays, just focus on doing your own things well. Father is getting older and older. , you are always needed to support this family."

And Tang Yan couldn't listen to such words the most, as if it was his fault that the Tang family's disgrace was his fault, he became a little impatient at the moment, "The elder sister is raised in the deep palace, so don't worry too much about the family, the younger brother will figure it out."

The pure concubine who spoke in a few words was a little hoarse, and she couldn't help but lament that her brother had really grown up and had his own thoughts, maybe, she was really - old...

Seeing his sister lost in thought, Tang Yan realized that his words were a little too much, so he softened his tone and said, "Sister, are you angry?"

The pure concubine shook her head again and again, looked at her brother full of doting, and comforted her: "Eldest sister is not angry, elder sister just thinks that Yan'er has grown up..."

Only then did Tang Yan look relieved, "It's not that I deliberately neglected Elder Sister, maybe I'm used to it. Back then, after you entered the palace, although your father was busy with government affairs every day, he had no real power after all, so I was often treated by the princes of the aristocratic family. Gradually, the younger brother stopped talking, neither would offend people easily, nor did he want to vent his anger with them."

Tang Yan's heart-to-heart made Pure Concubine's tears flow down. She really didn't expect her younger brother to suffer so much grievance, "It's the elder sister who is incompetent. If the elder sister is powerful enough, she can protect you from being bullied."

"Sister, don't think too much, isn't my younger brother also highly regarded by the emperor? One day, my younger brother will stand out!" Tang Yan's eyes gradually deepened as he spoke. He wants to succeed, and must succeed!

The pure concubine looked at the somewhat unfamiliar younger brother with relief, always thinking of making up for his lack of happiness, "You are also leading the army now, and your official career is slowly getting on the right track. If you want something, just ask, elder sister can do it Definitely spare no effort."

Looking at the eldest sister's "swearing", Tang Yan also had some thoughts ready to move, and after thinking about it, he suggested: "Elder sister, I don't want to be just a guard in the central army, can you tell the emperor to let the younger brother enter the palace as a bodyguard?" ah?"

Concubine Chun was puzzled for a while, "A bodyguard? What's so good about being a bodyguard? No matter how good you are, you're just a bodyguard. It can't compare to being a general!"

However, Tang Yan refused to listen and said with determination: "No matter how good the general is, what else can he do to become the Chang family and be jealous of the emperor?"

The pure concubine choked on her younger brother's thoughts for a long time and said nothing, "The Chang family is just—the Chang family—"

Tang Yan said firmly: "Elder Sister, you can see it too? Whether it is a civil servant or a general, if you can't guess the emperor's mind, it is impossible for you to be honored for a long time. The younger brother just wants to be the emperor's personal bodyguard. Only then can we know the emperor's likes and dislikes and thoughts."

The pure concubine didn't want Tang Yan to be too close to the imperial power. After all, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. If he makes a mistake, he will be forever lost. On the contrary, the courtiers who are far away from the emperor, although they are not rich and powerful, can be honored as kings and ministers. Life is not a problem, pure concubine wants to seek stability.

In the eyes of pure concubine, my younger brother is too young to see many things clearly.

"It's not all glory around the emperor." Chunbi tried to make her brother understand.

Obviously, Tang Yan didn't listen, and his face turned serious again.

The pure concubine who always doted on her younger brother subdued and said softly: "You, when did you start being so stubborn?"

Tang Yan's expression became more relaxed, "I knew Eldest Sister could understand me."

The conversation with her younger brother today will make Concubine Chun deeply feel his impetuousness and anxiety. She feels that his younger brother can't go on like this. Why don't you take this opportunity to follow your father's instructions and let him solve life's major issues first? good.

"Yan'er, you are not too young now, it's time to start a family." These words were casually said.

Tang Yan became more energetic upon hearing this, "Eldest sister, do you have any candidates?"

Pure concubine wanted her younger brother to be safe in her dreams, so she said: "I have seen several girls, and some of them are really suitable for you."

Tang Yan wondered, "Suitable for me?"

Concubine Chun nodded, "Well, it suits you best. I even asked Baozi to leave a portrait."

While talking, Baozi took a picture album from the back room.

Tang Yan took the album absent-mindedly, took a few glances at it, and then closed it.

The smile on the pure concubine's face hadn't completely dissipated, and she was a little puzzled immediately, "Are you not satisfied?"

Tang Yan looked at Concubine Chun, "Elder Sister, I think these girls might not be suitable."

The pure concubine was quite puzzled and said: "How about you take a closer look, these are all selected by the palace, family background, character are all acceptable, the most important thing is that they are very docile, and they are quite suitable for you .”

Tang Yan looked at the elder sister who was trying her best to persuade herself to agree with one of them, but felt that the elder sister didn't understand herself very well, "I really don't like it!"

The cold words made Concubine Chun a little astonished. She tried her best to maintain her dignity, and she was full of doubts, "Why don't you like it? You haven't even looked at it yet?"

Tang Yan looked at her eldest sister, her eyes gradually deepening, "Is there anyone here who can help my younger brother in his career? No! Not one!"

The pure concubine didn't speak for a long time, she saw her brother's hysteria and restraint, and her heart was extremely sour.

"Sister, I know you are doing it for my own good, but you also have to see the current situation of our family clearly? Can father and those princes and generals reach it? Not enough! If I work so hard, wait I've survived, and I'm old too. You don't even know when the eldest sister will survive in this palace, don't you think about letting the power of the mother clan help you to a higher level? What will help you? What will help me? I can only connect my marriage with my official career, and I can no longer be willful!" Tang Yan finally yelled out what he had suppressed for a long time, hugged his head, and squatted on the ground.

Pure concubine wanted to appease him, but her brother's heart-wrenching words also made her recognize her glorious appearance, which could be shattered at the touch of a poke. What my brother said was right, she herself was walking on eggshells in the palace, so what could she do to help her brother?The Tang family is weak, what can they do to strengthen their position?

Withdrawing her hand, Chun Concubine only felt that she was sorry for her family. She had struggled for half her life, and nothing seemed to be lost...

"Then who do you want to marry?" Pure Concubine asked in a daze.

Tang Yan, who was holding her head, gradually focused her eyes, "Suo Shutong, she is the daughter of the Suo family, after all, she has been honored by the empress and queen mother. The marriage between the Tang family and the Suo family, no matter how we look at it, we are taking advantage of it."

Concubine Chun frowned, no wonder, he opened his mouth to ask Suo Shutong.But Suo Shutong is not liked by the pure concubine. She thinks that Suo Shutong is too utilitarian, and what makes the pure concubine feel like a thorn in her back is that Suo Shutong was supposed to be the emperor's woman. Become a joke in the capital?

"You can't marry her! She is a woman that the emperor doesn't want, and you will become a joke in the capital." Pure concubine endured the pain in her heart and said in a low voice.

Tang Yan seemed determined, "Do I have a better choice? If that's the case, I should marry her. Isn't it equivalent to solving the urgent need for the emperor? This may also be an opportunity for my younger brother!"

Chance……

Concubine Chun didn't know if it was true, but what she was sure of was that the Tang family had to make another plan from now on.
