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

Chapter 175 Extra Story: Big Marriage 2
Firecrackers sounded.

From outside the mansion, the newcomer walks step by step into the mansion with a scarf, stepping over the brazier until they reach the hall.

It was full of guests and extremely lively.

Although the Holy Majesty and the Empress came in person, he did not sit in the main seat, which gave the Pei family a lot of ostentation.

On the contrary, the Pei family and his wife were sitting on top of the main seat, and they were always worried. They always felt that it would be bad for the officials to sit at the bottom, but the officials insisted on doing so, but they couldn't help it.

Now that King Jing has become the Son of Heaven, his majesty is not inferior to that of the previous emperors.

With that martial aura, the whole person looked very energetic, which was completely in contrast to many guests who looked weak.

His eyes fell on the direction of the door until that figure appeared, walking here together with her husband.

Seeing this, he couldn't move his eyes away.

She will marry someone, but the person she is marrying is not herself.

On the golden palace that day, he chose Jiangshan and let her be free. This is a choice, a lifetime choice, and one cannot regret it.

Although at this moment, looking at her in a wedding dress, my heart is moved, but I can't regret it.

Empress Qi on the side looked a little displeased and bored because she got up early and didn't have a meal, but she didn't dare to complain to the officials. She only came here in person because the officials valued the Pei family.

Since entering the palace, all kinds of heavy etiquette and rules weighed her down so much that she couldn't breathe for a moment.

Until the bride turned her attention slightly, in an instant, she glimpsed her true face.

Empress Qi was stunned that it was her.

Someone in the palace once secretly rumored that the Empress Dowager Sheng was not dead at all, but was let out of the palace by the Holy Majesty.

Rumor has it that the Holy Majesty and the First Empress Dowager had a very close relationship as childhood sweethearts, and some even said that they had seen the Holy Majesty and the First Empress Dowager enjoying the New Year's Eve fireworks together in the palace.

How many hidden truths are unknown in this.

When Empress Qi heard it at first, she thought it was a joke. As Empress Dowager Sheng said, she is the mother of the Holy Mother, which is really absurd, but when she heard more and more, she couldn't help feeling flustered.

The officials treated her considerately, but she had never seen that kind of affection between a man and a woman. When they get along, they are like an old couple who respect each other as guests, a little polite and distant.

Empress Qi was inevitably disappointed, and since then she has been inquiring about the First Empress Dowager, becoming more and more curious about her.

Until the palace, when cleaning up the old things, many boxes were moved out. It is said that they were all prepared for the Empress Dowager Sheng when the first emperor was in power. Inside were antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and it looked like a dowry. .

Empress Qi saw a portrait, which was painted by the first emperor himself, and it was a portrait of a daughter of the Sheng family.

The face of the woman in the painting is like a fairy, but it is not enough to describe her feeling of astonishment when she glimpsed it.

After seeing that painting, her heart sank for no reason, but she seemed to see something.

It is said that Empress Dowager Sheng has outstanding talents, and she was a model among boudoirs in Beijing since she was a child.

Therefore, when they entered the palace, there were not a few families in Beijing who regretted it.

And this kind of woman, with such a face, even as a woman, she couldn't be moved, let alone a man with the affection of his childhood sweetheart.

And all of this has become a thing of the past, Empress Qi knew this in her heart.

But her curiosity about Empress Dowager Sheng is growing day by day. She is even thinking that the Holy Majesty is already a dragon and a phoenix among men. Who is it that can make such a wonderful woman like her leave the palace behind and be so sincere? treat.

Until now, looking at the scene in front of her, Pei Xiang, who has always been cold-hearted and cold-hearted, treated his bride with such warmth and caring, and could not hide the tender smile in his eyes, which she had never seen in the eyes of the Holy Majesty. of.

Talented and beautiful, so enviable.

No matter how shocking the portrait is, it is still not as good as seeing the real person.

There are rumors in Beijing that out of ten sentences, six or seven sentences can be matched.

For some reason, the depression in Empress Qi's heart gradually dissipated a lot. She glanced sideways and looked at the official next to her. She saw that he had looked at the bride for a long time, his expression couldn't be seen clearly, but he didn't feel anything. Affection is revealed.

In her heart, she felt a little comforted.

At least, I married the one I love, but the officials can only watch the one I love marry someone else.

Thinking about it this way, it's not that uncomfortable.

I'm relieved.

She said slowly, "Master Pei and this bride look quite right, they are both talented and beautiful."

The official on the side was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he echoed, "That's true."

When the newlyweds made their salute, Pei Ci's gaze never moved away from Sheng Baoling's body for a moment. When the ceremony was completed and the bride was sent into the bridal chamber, he would follow.

But was stopped by Sheng Gong, Shen Cong'an and others who had already defended!
Sheng Gong snorted coldly in his heart, in the past because of Pei Ci's poor health, he spoke softly, but he didn't dare to hit anyone, let alone drink alcohol.

Now, Pei Ci is in good health, and even kidnapped his own sister secretly. As the elder brother, he wants to drink a few jars of good wine with this good brother today!

"Come, come! Xuan Jin, you have never had a drink with us in the past. Today is such a happy day, so don't refuse!"

Sheng Gong's words, sentence after sentence, made it clear that today is not to let Pei Ci have such a good time.

The people on the side all echoed.

Seeing this, Li Sheng, who had already been ordered by Sheng Baoling, quickly brought a pot of "wine" that had been tampered with, and wanted to pour wine for his adults.

But the wine was snatched away before it was poured into the glass.

I saw that the current sage, who was wearing private clothes, snatched the wine jug, poured himself a glass of wine, and signaled the servant next to him to pour wine for Pei Ci with his eyes.

"Pei Qing, today is your day of great joy. Come, let me have a drink with you."

No one understood this operation.

Li Sheng on the side was in a hurry, his eyes were fixed on the pot of wine in Sheng Shang's hand, darling, don't drink it!
Pei Ci's eyes fell on the wine glass handed over by the servant, and he was silent for a while, but he took it and drank it without saying anything.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the monarch and his ministers had a drink.

The Holy Majesty even drank a pot of wine, but his face was neither red nor out of breath, and his steps were as steady as a mountain. Everyone couldn't help sighing in their hearts, the official is really good at drinking!
Li Sheng was stunned, no matter how he looked at the sage, he seemed to know that there was fake wine in it, and after drinking this pot of water, he didn't reveal it at all.

Pei Ci, on the other hand, drank a jug of wine.

Because of his health, he seldom drank alcohol, but after drinking this pot, he felt a little flattered.

Looking at Pei Ci's slightly flushed face, the official looked at Pei Ci's slightly flushed face, and felt a little relieved, but he did not forget to say, "I clearly remember that Pei Aiqing was very good at drinking at the banquet in the palace. How can I look at it today? Has it subsided a little?"
