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

Chapter 173 Finale: He never looked sideways
Seeing that Sheng Baoling was held back by Pei Ci, the two of them didn't know what to say, Sheng Baoling's face was slightly flushed, and Pei Ci's thin lips were tightly pursed, as if he was a little nervous.

Sheng Baodai didn't notice this, and when she was about to go forward, she was about to call out "Sister", but Qi Jun grabbed her, "Don't go over."

Sheng Baodai looked at Qi Jun in bewilderment, then turned to look at the two people over there, and asked in bewilderment, "Why?"

Qi Jun looked over there, it was obvious that the two were talking to each other, and then met Sheng Baodai with a pair of eyes full of confusion, as if they were still in love, and for a while, he didn't know how to explain.

Qi Shangshu, who has always been able to put his colleagues in the officialdom to the ground, stuttered now, unable to utter a smooth word.

Seeing that Sheng Baoling was about to rush forward at last, he said, "Do they look like you and me at this moment?"

Sheng Baodai was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand the meaning of Qi Jun's words.

At this moment, Sheng Baoling didn't know what to say, Pei Ci, who had always been calm and self-sufficient, actually took Sheng Baoling in front of him into his arms, as if his eyes were a little red, but he didn't know if it was an illusion.

Even if the observation is not subtle, no matter how inexperienced in this area, now I know what's going on, and she almost messed up Sister's good business just now.

As the saying goes, it is better to demolish a temple than ruin a marriage.

And because of Qi Jun's words just now, Sheng Baodai blushed, turned around, stopped looking at Qi Jun, bit her lips, "Who looks like you?"

"It's shameless to talk about it before you even get engaged."

Sheng Baodai hummed twice, but Qi Jun who was at the side was happy.

He put both hands on Sheng Baodai's shoulders, with joy in his eyes, "Have you agreed to my marriage proposal?"

Sheng Baodai's cheeks were flushed, she just felt how she could do such things in the street, she patted Qi Jun's hand with one hand, trying to slap his hand off, but Qi Jun grasped it firmly, and she was not easy to hit. Too strong.

I felt my face was red and hot, as if people around me were looking at me, "If you don't let go, what I said just now won't count!"

When Qi Jun heard this, it was okay, he quickly let go, overjoyed, he laughed twice, he looked like a kid, but he was not much older than Sheng Baodai at all.

"Girl!" The maid hurriedly searched for her, and finally found Sheng Baodai, and the heavy stone on her heart finally fell to the ground.

"Master Qi?"

Why is Master Qi with the girl?
The servant girl was puzzled, why was she talking and laughing while looking at it, and seeing Master Qi smiling, as if filled with honey, could this girl talk to Master Qi?
But why did you just say it all of a sudden?
The servant girl couldn't figure it out, but when she thought about it, the girl had talked with Mr. Qi. Doesn't this mean that the girl's marriage is over?

With this thought, he immediately became cheerful.

But after Sheng Baodai was over shy, she looked in the direction of Sheng Baoling, but she didn't see anyone at all.

Qi Jun patted Sheng Baodai's shoulder reassuringly, "Don't panic, I will go to Pei's mansion with you tomorrow."

Whether Sheng Baoling is in Pei's residence or not can be known at a glance.

Sheng Baodai nodded slightly, feeling at ease.

At this time, on the other side, Sheng Baoling dragged Pei Ci to a lake surrounded by a crowd, and saw people holding river lanterns everywhere, full of joy.

Sheng Baoling recalled the last time he and Pei Ci set off the river lantern, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

Pei Ci did not let go of Sheng Baoling's hand, and asked softly, "Want to release the river lantern?"

Sheng Baoling didn't answer, but instead asked, "Does the few words you just dragged me to say count?"

Pei Ci: "One word from a gentleman is hard to follow."

Sheng Baoling: "Will you go back on your word?"

Pei Ci: "No."

Sheng Baoling smiled immediately, his eyes crooked, and the hand holding Pei Ci tightened slightly.

"But you are not afraid of being reprimanded by your brother?"

Pei Ci was silent, but really thought for a while, the corners of his lips curved slightly, "Why are you afraid?"

Just now, he got anxious and pulled Sheng Baoling to ask what she wanted these days, but she was happy with herself.

The question was too direct, and when the words came out, he felt a little regretful, so he should speak more tactfully, so that it sounds nicer and easier to answer.

But I didn't expect that Sheng Baoling was also straightforward. Hearing Pei Ci ask so bluntly, he was not ambiguous and shy at all. He said bluntly, if he really liked him, what would he want?

Pei Ci didn't hesitate for a moment, and said bluntly, "I want to propose marriage with Ziyang, and marry you in the door, you are willing."

Sheng Baoling laughed immediately, "If you really propose marriage to your elder brother, I will marry naturally."

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and under the cover of night, the light of the lanterns is warm and eye-catching, as if covering the two with a hazy veil.

The night wind blew gently, and immediately lifted the layer of veil again, allowing both of them to see each other.

Pei Ci's words had been kept in his heart for a lifetime, and he finally asked them at this moment.

As for Sheng Baoling's words, Pei Ci had waited his whole life and never got them.

However, at this time, the past that was regrettable in the past seemed to be gradually coming to fruition.

Pei Ci's eyes turned red uncontrollably, and he pulled Sheng Baoling into his arms. He was nearly thirty years old, but at this moment he was so excited that he couldn't say a word.

There are too many complicated emotions, too many things to say, too many things entwined, but at this moment, only this hug makes everything seem real.

The mutual temptation in the previous life, the heart that has never been able to get close, the heart that has not been expressed to each other until death, finally conveyed to the other party at this time.

For some reason, Sheng Baoling suddenly thought of those in the dream, her heart felt sour, and she tightly wrapped her arms around Pei Ci's waist. Although she didn't know what happened to him, why did she come from a previous life that she had never experienced? to here.

But she understands how important it is to cherish the four words of the moment.

How many people missed each other in the mutual temptation, even in their previous life.

And this time, maybe it was a chance given by the kindness of God.

She can't let go, and she can't miss it.

At this moment, she finally understood what the late emperor meant when he said that if he had someone he liked, he could just do what he wanted to do.

I'm afraid that he has already seen everything and made arrangements later.

Sheng Baoling's tears rolled down, dripping on the fabric of Pei Ci's shoulder.

At this moment, the two hearts are firmly tied together.

The river lanterns were gently blown by the wind, and some clustered together.

The two figures stood close together, their eyes fell on the river, their hands were hidden under their sleeves, and the fireworks burst out suddenly!

The two subconsciously raised their heads and looked towards the direction of the imperial city. The fireworks tonight were extraordinarily dazzling. Just like back then.

Sheng Baoling looked sideways at Pei Ci, but didn't think about it, and met Pei Ci's gaze looking at her, where there was wanton tenderness.

Pei Ci was dressed in white, tinged with joy under the rendering of the fireworks, and the white sleeves were slowly entwined with Sheng Baoling's red sleeves.

Sheng Baoling was slightly taken aback, then smiled suddenly.

For so many years, he never looked sideways.
