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

Chapter 185 Extra Story: Pei Wan 2
It is said that the past must be the past, and the days to come must be lived well.

The dead cannot be found no matter what, but the living still have to look ahead.

But I can't look forward.

The Sheng family no longer had the slightest human touch of the past. The uncle seemed to wake up, took away the body of the eldest sister, and returned home.

Parents also left together.

In the family, there are only a few juniors left, and the third room has been separated, and they no longer associate with the eldest room and the second room.

Later, I heard that Sheng Baoqin was sold to a family as a concubine. It seemed that the third uncle couldn't bear children at all, and that Sheng Baoqin didn't belong to the third uncle at all.

It's basically the seed left by the little girl Hongxing who went out of the wall.

The third uncle wakes up and treats the third aunt in turn, but the third aunt proposes to divorce.

I didn't pay much attention to the gossip of the servants, because, in private, I have been secretly investigating the matter of the big sister, and I still don't believe that the big sister will rebel.

The Qi family is now deeply trusted by officials.

The girl from the Qi family is now the empress, and Qi Jun is even more popular in court.

Because of his friendship with his elder brother, Qi Jun would come to Sheng Mansion almost every few days.

I used the reason of returning the handkerchief to approach him and ask him about the affairs in the palace and about the elder sister.

Perhaps it was because I was too obvious. In the next two days, he avoided me and walked away. Even when he met, he only greeted me superficially, as if he didn't want to say more to me, and I became even more impatient.

Just when Qi Jun came to Sheng Mansion again, I blocked his way, stopped letting him see his elder brother, and asked him directly about the elder sister.

However, Qi Jun's reaction was beyond my expectation.

He didn't know anything. Those who were in the palace that day were all Prince Jing's people. Although he helped King Jing, he didn't know anything about what happened that night.

Just like ordinary people, they only found out about it the next day.

He persuaded me not to investigate any further, it might cause disaster, and told me to look forward, there is still a long way to go, and I can't just be stuck in one place and stagnate.

But I don't want to listen to persuasion, my eldest sister has treated me well since she was a child, better than my parents treated me, now that she died without knowing it, how can I let it go and not investigate.

Even if everyone thinks that this should just pass like that, I can't.

That is the person who loves me and loves me.

But what I didn't expect was that after Qi Jun hesitated, he said that he was willing to check for me.

In the days that followed, he often came to look for me, always bringing some news about my eldest sister.

I also often meet with him in the restaurant in Beijing, and he took me to visit some old people released from the palace, but we know very little.

The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, several months passed.

It’s winter and it’s snowing. I stand on the tallest tower in Bianjing City, looking at the great mountains and rivers in front of me, watching the people coming and going at the city gate, and thinking, when my eldest sister saw it, what was in her heart? Thought?
What about King Jing who left Beijing back then, what kind of mood did he have?

But at this moment, I only feel cold, the cold wind is biting, and the wind and snow are blowing on my face.

Suddenly, my shoulders were heavy, and my body warmed up, accompanied by a faint scent of sandalwood incense lingering in my ears. After getting along with each other for several months, I knew very well who the person behind me was.

...

"Tell me, when the official family left Beijing, how did you feel when you saw the scene in front of you?"

Qi Jun didn't say anything for a long time, just stood behind Sheng Baodai and looked at her.

At last, Sheng Baodai turned his head and looked at Qi Jun, before he asked, "Why do you ask this?"

Sheng Baodai pursed her thin lips slightly, "A thousand people have a thousand kinds of melancholy, and ten thousand people have a thousand kinds of moods. Looking at this Bianjing city, some people think of their family members, some people think of protecting the people in front of them, and some people I think about the days to come..."

Back then, King Jing thought of his family, or the people of Jiangshan, or everything after returning to Beijing in the future?
Sheng Baodai couldn't figure this out, but even though the official family was no longer the Jing Wang of the past, he was a good emperor who was praised by all officials and people in the court.

She was still unwilling to doubt that such a person would kill Sheng Baoling in order to sit on the throne in a legitimate way.

Qi Jun frowned and didn't answer, his eyes just fell on Sheng Baodai.

The snow was gradually falling, and Qi Jun's heart ached when he saw the little girl in front of him turned pale from the cold.

Thinking back to the first time we met, she cried into tears. At that time, she thought she was a pitiful and weak woman, but now after getting along with her for several months, she saw another side of her.

Many times, it is clear that my heart is hurting, but I still hold back and don't cry.

Such a strong appearance makes people feel even more distressed.

But without knowing where to start, he always pays attention to Sheng Baodai uncontrollably, pays attention to this little girl, loves her, worries about her, and he can't help but care about her every move.

At first, it was because of Sheng Gong's entrustment to take good care of her.

But now, he is clear that there are other thoughts hidden in his heart...

He didn't even know what other people thought of when they saw this scene.

But at this moment, Qi Jun, looking at the scene in front of him, thought of wanting to keep the woman in front of him by his side for the rest of his life.

Love her, love her, take care of her.

The next day, the Qi family came to propose marriage.

No sign.

Seeing Qi Jun coming in such a big battle, Sheng Gong didn't know what his plan was. He thought he was here to celebrate the New Year ahead of time, and his face was beaming with joy.

When Sheng Gong went up to meet him, he carefully looked at the things brought in by the servants in the mansion, "This outsider doesn't know it, and thinks that Brother Qi, you are here to propose marriage!"

Qi Jun's eyes flashed, and he gave a big gift to Sheng Gong, "Brother Sheng! I came today to propose a marriage for myself."

The moment the words were spoken, the entire flower hall fell into a brief silence.

Sheng Gong was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, while laughing, he patted Qi Jun on the shoulder, "Why are you still making such a joke!"

But Qi Jun didn't smile, his expression was serious, as if to tell Sheng Gong that what he said was not a joke.

Sheng Gong's face suddenly changed, he was still smiling just now, but now he clenched his fists tightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Which sister in my mansion does Brother Qi want to propose marriage to?"

The housekeeper next to him looked at it and thought something was wrong.

The young master is holding back, he is afraid that his temper will explode later.

Qi Jun secretly saw the changes in Sheng Gong, and he really wasn't afraid, "I have a crush on the second younger sister in your house, and I want to propose marriage to her."

With a loud noise, it was Sheng Gong who pushed the chair to the ground, his expression completely changed, "Qi Shu'en! I treat you like a brother, but you miss my second sister!"

"See for yourself that you are older than my second sister. You really dare to say such a thing, dear!"

Sheng Gong was so angry that his face turned red and black, he pointed at Qi Jun, it was not easy to swear at others, and it was not good to beat him, he choked out a sentence for a long time, "Are you ashamed!"
