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

Chapter 18 Three Wishes Pei Xuanjin Changan Every Year

Walking down from Zhouqiao, after a while, I saw many girls and boys all gathered around to put lanterns.

The lanterns are beautiful and eye-catching, and there are all kinds of styles.

The light projected on the river surface was so beautiful that Sheng Baoling couldn't help but look at it a few more times. Seeing those girls write down their wishes and carefully put the lanterns on the river surface, she couldn't help but also smiled.

Before entering the palace, because of his young age, he had no chance to leave the palace.

Later, she entered the palace, and because of her status, she had no chance to leave the palace.

After careful calculation, this is the first time she has come to this Bianhezhou Bridge to watch the lanterns.

Standing behind her, Pei Ci kept her gaze on Sheng Baoling without moving away. She was always looking at the girls and boys holding lanterns.

Although she couldn't see the expression on her face, she seemed to be able to feel Sheng Baoling's emotions and what she was thinking at the moment.

Pei Ci pinched the corner of the cuff slightly with his fingertips, and stood still for a long time, and glanced at the hawker selling lanterns not far away from his corner of the eye.

The snow was not heavy and light, but the whole city of Bianjing seemed to be covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

Suddenly, a lantern appeared in front of Sheng Baoling.

Lotus style, very beautiful.

She looked along the lantern, and saw that the wrist holding the lantern was thin and thin, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging on it.

Sheng Baoling's eyes lit up, and he lifted up the silk cloth of the veil, and went to pick up the lantern, "It's so beautiful!"

His eyes were immediately attracted by the lantern that Pei Ci handed over, and he even forgot the difference between the monarch and his ministers.

The moment she took over the lantern, her warm fingertips inadvertently touched Pei Ci's hand, and she felt a chill.

She subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Pei Ci, and saw that his face was a little paler than just now, and suddenly thought that the direction Pei Ci was going just now should be to go back to the house, if he hadn't met her.

With such a strong body, how could the cold wind be blowing here.

Although the snow was not heavy, it was carried by the wind and smashed on the body, but the taste was not as good as it looked.

The light from the lantern was transparent, shining on Sheng Baoling's cheeks, making her already beautiful face softer.

Sheng Baoling walked towards the river with the lantern in his hands, and was about to squat down to put the lantern away, when Pei Ci behind him suddenly asked, "Won't you write your wish?"

When the lips were opened, the exhaled white air could be faintly seen, which showed that the day had really cooled down.

The voice was clear and faint, and the people around couldn't tell who he was talking to.

But Sheng Baoling knew that he was talking to himself.

The corner of her mouth curled up, "It's good to say it in your heart, but it won't work if you say it."

As she spoke, she carefully placed the lantern on the river, her gaze fell on the slightly trembling firelight, and the corners of her mouth never sank.

The wind gently blew the silk cloth, Sheng Baoling closed his eyes and made a devout wish, muttering something in his heart.

Faithful girl Sheng Baoling...

I wish that the country will prosper.

Second wish Li Minning.

three wishes
Sheng Baoling paused for a moment, opened his eyes and turned his head away, only to see Pei Ci standing there the whole time, his face pale, but his eyes were always looking at him calmly.

She paused slightly, her red lips pursed.

Three wishes to Pei Xuanjin, be safe and sound, and live in peace every year.

The river is full of lanterns, which are dazzling.

Seeing the lanterns drifting away, Sheng Baoling turned around and looked at Pei Ci. Seeing that he was empty-handed, apparently only one lantern, he asked, "Don't you have any?"

Pei Ci's almost bloodless lips pursed slightly, his eyes were deep, his voice was cold and low, "One cup is enough."

As if in a whisper.

The Pei Ci at this moment is very much like the Pei Ci in her dream.

Sheng Baoling's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous. She immediately stepped up and walked in the direction behind Pei Ci. While she was moving, her tone was a little flustered, "I'll go over there and have a look."

Pei Ci's eyes fell on the crowded lanterns not far away, and he couldn't tell which one was the lantern that Sheng Baoling put in it just now.

May all her wishes come true.

On the way to send Sheng Baoling back to the palace, Pei Ci didn't say a word.

In his hand, Sheng Baoling held an oil-paper umbrella that he had just bought at a high price from the small street vendor who sold lanterns, and held it high above Pei Ci's head to block the wind and snow.

The two share an umbrella, which is really intimate and unreasonable.

Sheng Baoling was fascinated by the night, and felt a little pity for Pei Ci in his heart, so he didn't think of this.

And Pei Ci, who slowed down beside him, always knew these rules in his heart, he should have kept his distance, just like in the palace.

But he just tightly held the bracelet of Buddhist beads hanging on the wrist bone, and kept silent.

Fortunately for him today, he probably agreed to Pei Wan and went to see Shen Cong'an, so that when he returned home, he met Sheng Baoling who had sneaked out of the palace.

There are little emperor's eyeliners everywhere in the palace, but Sheng Baoling also has a lot of eyeliners. Since she dared to go out of the palace so frequently, everything must have been taken care of already.

Send Sheng Baoling to an abandoned palace behind the palace. Sheng Baoling's people have already arranged here.

Pei Ci only knew how Sheng Baoling entered and exited the palace under the eyes of the little emperor on weekdays.

While Pei Ci was in a daze, Sheng Baoling handed the umbrella to Pei Ci, "Be careful all the way back, and take care of yourself."

Pei Ci took the umbrella and saluted respectfully, "I thank the Empress Dowager for your concern."

Sheng Baoling's eyes lingered on Pei Ci's pale face for a moment, and while hesitating, in the astonishment of the people around him, he took off his white handwritten copy and handed it to Pei Ci.

Pei Ci didn't take it.

The last time Mrs. Tang was in the Sheng Mansion, she was already over the line.

At this time, there are still people here, and I don't know if they are credible. If they see this incident, it may damage Sheng Baoling's reputation.

Although Pei Ci's expression was indifferent, Sheng Baoling seemed to be able to guess what Pei Ci was thinking after spending some time together.

She bent her lips and smiled, "Qiu Yi is the person next to me. It will be windy and snowy all the way back, so Prime Minister Pei should wear it."

Pei Ci glanced at Qiuyi standing beside Sheng Baoling, hesitated for a moment, and then took the handwritten copy from Sheng Baoling's hand. Her warmth was still on it, bit by bit wrapped in Pei Ci's cold fingertip.

Only he himself knows that he wants to keep every piece of Sheng Baoling's remaining warmth.

Holding an umbrella, Pei Ci walked alone in the wind and snow, gradually leaving a row of shoe prints on the thin snow.

The figure is lonely, and in the snow, it is even more lonely.

Sheng Baoling couldn't help but take a few more glances, and kept following that figure closely. For some reason, she felt a little sour in her heart.

Seeing Sheng Baoling like this, Qiu Yi on the side frowned slightly, she had never seen him look like this after serving the master for so many years.

I have never seen the master care so much about any son other than the eldest son.

Is it
Associating with certain guesses, Qiu Yi's heart thumped, and his eyes followed Sheng Baoling's sight, and turned to the distance. The figure gradually moved away, almost merging with the wind and rain.

There is a poetic and bookish spirit in his stomach, and Mr. Pei has a good appearance again
But what is Pei Ci's identity? He should be Prime Minister of the Left.

But her mother-in-law is the current empress dowager.
