After being a widow, the empress dowager was favored by the powerful ministers

Chapter 101 Pei Ci is a sick child
Sheng Baoqin hooked her red lips, and raised a smile, "What's good, what's not good?"

"It's good to be the prime minister of the left, but this body... girl, it's spread all over the city of Bianjing." Recently, the marriages of the girls in the mansion are gradually on the agenda, and the servant girl is worried that Sheng Baoqin has taken a fancy to Mr. Pei , I have to tell the truth.

This Mr. Pei is a sick man, and it is said that he will not live for a few years.

Although she is very good-looking and well-behaved, you can't just look at these and eagerly get together to be a widow, right?

There was an inscrutable smile on Sheng Baoqin's face, "Yes, if you can marry him and be the wife of the Prime Minister, how wonderful would it be?"

After hearing Sheng Baoqin's words, the servant girl choked for words, and dared not say what was on her mind, for fear of being angered.

No matter what you say, Mr. Pei is also the left minister of the court. The Pei family is one of the largest families in Bianjing City, and they are ordinary children of officials. Those who marry wives do not marry concubines.

Not to mention this one, even though she is a bit weak, she is not something that Sheng Baoqin, a concubine from the third house of the Sheng family, can get.

But these words, the maid did not dare to say a word at all, for fear of being angered.

Sheng Baoqin has her own plans in her heart, although she is living very well in the Sheng Mansion and the mistress is watching out for the marriage, but she knows it in her heart.

No matter how good the mistress treats her, she is not her own, and the marriage will not be much better.

But for her, Sheng Baoqin, if she wants to do it, she must be the best. If she wants to marry, she must marry as well as anyone else.

Then Pei Ci has a very good status and official position, so what if his body is not good enough, if he gets the title of Mrs. Xiangye, maybe he can earn a royal order and give birth to a son and a half daughter. If Pei Ci dies in the future, The Pei family's such a large family business all fell on his own head.

This is not a bad plan at all.

At this time, Sheng Baoqin was only thinking about how to get a good marriage for herself, she didn't think about the disparity in status at all, and almost forgot that she was actually just a concubine in Sheng's mansion.

The servant girl sighed slightly in her heart, the girl was probably used to living a comfortable life, food and clothing were all according to the prostitute's share, at this moment, she couldn't tell the difference between high and low.

The eldest lady picked out so many good marriages, she said that the family background is not very high, but they are all healthy and enterprising young men, but the girl didn't like any of them.

It seems that the man from Bianjing was allowed to choose at will.

Even Prime Minister Pei, if he hadn't been friends with the eldest son, he might never have had the chance to catch a glimpse of him in this life.

The girl and Pei Xiang can be seen together.

Just let the girl think about it, I don't know what will happen in the future.

Sheng Baoqin thought, this Pei Ci would not live long, and she was still willing to marry him. It would be a big sacrifice to give birth to him a son and a half daughter, which girl in Bianjing would be willing to marry.

As if, she had already attributed Pei Ci's failure to get married for so many years to his frail body, his life was not long, and no one in Beijing was willing to marry him.

...

Back in the palace, news from the Sheng Mansion also came one by one.

Sure enough, Sheng Gong quarreled with Mr. Sheng again, this time the quarrel was even more fierce than that at noon.

It seemed that Sheng Gong kicked the door out, without giving Mr. Sheng any face, walked out of the study with an ugly face, and stomped on the door twice as if discouraged.

The housekeeper at the side was breaking out in a cold sweat. It was clear that it was fine earlier, but yesterday the young master also said that he would try to make some delicious food and give it to others to taste.

But at this moment, it seemed like a different person.

Sheng Baoling frowned while listening to Qiuyi and Jian Jia talking about the past two or three days, including those in Sheng's mansion, but quickly relaxed,

"Madam, Madam Liu Zhaoyi came here this morning. She seemed to ask about the rules of the birthday banquet. Seeing that you were not here, she went back again." Qiuyi suddenly mentioned this matter.

Sheng Baoling stopped flipping through the book at hand, "Come here?"

Qiuyi frowned subconsciously, as if hesitating whether to tell the truth, but finally, under Sheng Baoling's gaze, he told the whole thing.

"The servant girl looked at the several wounds on the face of Mrs. Zhaorong, and her hand seemed to have been pinched green. It seems that this is not the first time..."

While talking, she didn't dare to continue talking.

In this palace, there are only a few people who are higher than that Liu Zhaorong, but the one who made Liu Zhaorong suffer the beating and didn't say a word can only be that one.

Sheng Baoling frowned, and it became clear after thinking about it with his brain.

However, the little emperor is not too old now, but he is already like this...

If you get all the power in the future, will those in the dream be far away?

Those tortures, the mourning of the people, the good officials who were killed unjustly, and the hand that only touched the pen, ink, paper and inkstone all their lives, but raised the sword and gun that was incompatible with him.

Sometimes Sheng Baoling didn't even dare to imagine, afraid that when he thought about it, those bloody scenes would appear in front of his eyes.

Sometimes she couldn't understand at all what had influenced the little emperor to become what he is now.

Although the Empress Dowager Fan was vicious and ruthless, she never beat her concubine, nor did any of the palace servants. Even if she was punished, she would always follow the palace rules.

Let alone the first emperor, who was generous and benevolent, even when walking, he had to pay attention to whether he was stepping on ants or insects.

Even if there was a kitten that broke in from the dog hole in the palace wall outside and disturbed the holy car, the first emperor couldn't bear the harm of the palace people under him, so he ordered the cat to be kept in the imperial garden and provided with delicious food every day.

With such a kind biological father in front of her, she couldn't figure out who influenced the little emperor to become what he is now bit by bit.

"Qiuyi, check the people around the official family in the past." Sheng Baoling said coldly.

Qiu Yi froze for a moment, "Human?"

"Nurse, palace servants, all those who have long contacts will be thoroughly investigated." A pair of beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and Sheng Baoling's thin lips curled into a sneer. She wanted to see who it was who raised this little emperor Such a vicious temper.

Qiu Yi: "Yes."

...

That night, there was a faint sound of painful groaning in Liu Zhaorong's hall.

The candles in the hall were dimly lit, and a figure was holding a red candle, pouring the melted wax drop by drop onto Liu Zhaorong who was lying on the ground, with a smile on his face, that smile was strange, but no one was there can see.

Liu Zhaorong bit her lips tightly, the smell of blood filled her lips and teeth, her back was burning with burning pain, but she didn't dare to cry out in pain, lest she would be punished even more severely by the person in front of her.

"Why are you so disobedient?" the little emperor said to himself.
