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

Chapter 29 He is actually a gentle person

Even though the snow had stopped, the sound of the wind outside was still pouring into the ears.

The two looked at each other, and when Sheng Baoling asked if they knew each other before, time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Pei Ci didn't say a word, but just looked at Sheng Baoling silently. In those eyes, there was a faint light in the darkness, clear and warm, not glaring, and there was no smell of fireworks on his body.

Just looking at it like this, Sheng Baoling was still holding the roll of paper with Pei Ci's words in his hand, and suddenly felt that he was actually a gentle person, but that kindness was hidden in his bones, and many people couldn't see it.

Pei Ci didn't answer, and Sheng Baoling probably had a guess in his heart, so he pursed his lips and smiled without asking any more.

The housekeeper took a few steps forward, "Young Master Sheng, this way please."

The housekeeper's words interrupted the two people's gaze.

Sheng Baoling nodded slightly and followed.

In the study, Pei Ci thought of something, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and he gave a low laugh, but quickly curbed the corners of his lips.

When he turned around, he caught a glimpse of the box of fragrant pills on the table, and Sheng Baoling had already walked out of the courtyard. He reached out to pick up the box of fragrant pills, stepped out of the study door, and wanted to send it there, but he thought of the box next to him. Yes, the footsteps stopped again, and finally only found a servant who cleaned the courtyard, and sent the incense pills.

Pei Wan came out from the backyard and was going to the front hall when she ran into the butler leading Sheng Baoling outside.

The butler smiled and called out, "Miss."

Holding the small heater in her hand, Pei Wan caught a glimpse of the familiar cloak on Sheng Baoling's body. It was the one that Pei Ci usually wore at home, so she couldn't help but glance at Sheng Baoling a few more times.

Seeing a delicate and beautiful face that was more delicate than ordinary girls, she couldn't help sighing in her heart: What a handsome young master.

"Who is this young master?" Pei Wan asked with her eyes on Sheng Baoling.

It was also the first time for Sheng Baoling to see the eldest daughter of the Pei family, Pei Wan, Pei Ci's direct sister.

Usually, through two screens, I only hear his voice but not see his person. I thought he was a heroic figure, but this time I was a little surprised.

From the appearance, she should be a very gentle and quiet girl.

You really shouldn't judge people by their cover.

Sheng Baoling nodded slightly, "I'm Sheng Lang."

Pei Wan was surprised, "So you are Brother Sheng's younger brother."

The young man of the Sheng family who attended the class with them a few days ago.

She had seen Sheng Gong, and Sheng Gong had been to Pei's residence several times, but she didn't expect that Sheng Lang didn't look like Sheng Gong, Sheng Lang was too good-looking.

Pei Wan had never been to the palace before, so she had never seen Sheng Baoling. Based on this calculation, whether it was Sheng Baoling or Sheng Lang, this was the first time she had seen her.

Sheng Baoling smiled slightly with curved lips, "Miss Pei, you're being polite."

Everyone has a love of beauty, even Pei Wan couldn't help but look at Sheng Baoling a few more times, if this Sheng Lang was a woman, how stunning she would be.

Thinking about it this way, Pei Wan thought of the little queen dowager in the palace, and because the little queen dowager sent things to Pei's residence several times, she couldn't help being curious, and asked, "Mr. Sheng, is your sister as good-looking as you?" ?”

The two siblings of the Sheng family are twins, so they probably look alike, Pei Wan thought.

Sheng Baoling didn't expect Pei Wan to ask such a question suddenly, she was stunned, and smiled, "I haven't seen my sister for several years."

Pei Wan nodded thoughtfully, yes, I heard that Sheng Lang had been in poor health since he was a child, he was sent to a temple outside for repairs, and Sheng Baoling entered the palace again, so it was normal for him not to see him for a few years.

It would be great if I could have a chance to meet the little queen mother in this palace.

The housekeeper led Sheng Baoling away, and the servants from Pei Ciyuan rushed to him with the box of incense pills, and when they saw the two figures in front, they wanted to chase after them.

Pei Wan's eyes were sharp, and she saw at a glance that what was in this person's hand was not the box of incense pills that her elder brother had found from the incense room earlier.

"and many more!"

The servant stopped and looked at Pei Wan, not knowing why, "What do you want to tell Miss?"

Pei Wan walked up to the servant, pointed at the wooden box in his hand, "Where are you going to take this?"

She let the gatekeeper and the groom in the mansion stare at her, but they didn't notice anything.

This almost made people take this thing and slip out of their noses, brother is really cunning.

The servant lowered his eyes and glanced at the box in his hand, remembering that the Eldest Young Master never ordered not to inform the Eldest Young Lady, so he immediately replied, "Respond to the young lady, the Eldest Young Master ordered the younger one to deliver the things to Little Young Master Sheng."

Pei Wan was startled, Sheng Lang?

Until the servant left with her things in her arms, Pei Wan still stood there, unable to digest what she had just heard for a long time.

Brother, took a box of incense pills that he made himself, and gave it to Sheng Lang?

She clearly guessed which girl her brother would give this thing to, her sweetheart, but now she gave it to Sheng Lang, what did she think?
...

Before getting into the carriage, the servant finally delivered the things to Sheng Baoling.

Sheng Baoling was curious, what did Pei Ci suddenly send over?
It wasn't until she got into the carriage that she opened the box carefully. When she saw what was inside, she was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head slightly and smelled it. The familiar fragrance lingered at the tip of her nose. It was the incense she was using.

Many people searched for it, but they couldn't find it, but now, Pei Ci sent it over.

Sheng Baoling suddenly thought that the box of incense in the pavilion was originally sent by the late emperor. She asked the late emperor at that time, and the late emperor only said that it was made and given by a friend.

He searched almost all over Bianjing city for the incense in the pavilion, but now Pei Ci has it.

It can be seen that Pei Ci is a good friend in the mouth of the first emperor.

That's why Pei Ci asked himself about the incense when he was in the Hall of Compassion and Ning last time.

Because these two boxes of incense are from him.

Sheng Baoling couldn't help but hooked the corners of his lips, and closed the box back.

The carriage swayed, and the wind outside was still there. For some reason, her mood was unprecedentedly good, unlike when she left the palace earlier.

Maybe it's not snowing anymore, or maybe, New Year's Eve is coming, or maybe, today I discovered something that I didn't find before.

Before the age of 12, she was trapped in the Sheng's mansion, and she had no one to talk to except Sheng Baodai.

She is the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, the daughter of the princess, she must be dignified and respectful, and she must not embarrass the Sheng family.

After entering the palace, the only one who can rely on trust is the first emperor.

The days in the palace were difficult, and there was an entire Sheng family behind them.

She is always alone and helpless, and she must be careful in every step, making no mistakes.

It's been too long to live alone like this, so long that she is almost numb, and she can't have any expectations for the days to come.

But the things in her hands at this moment brought her a little comfort in her heart. After all, someone is thinking about it, even if it's just a copybook or a box of incense.

Although she knew that all these were based on her being the daughter of the Sheng family in the past, and now they are based on her being the empress dowager.

Sheng Baoling rubbed her fingertips on the box consciously...

Pei Ci, Pei Xuanjin.
