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

Chapter 37
After coming out of the restaurant, the two got into the carriage respectively.

The carriage drove through the long street, and Pei Ci's fingertips slightly touched his forehead, feeling a little dizzy.

I didn't feel much when I drank that little wine just now, but now the spirit of the wine is getting stronger, I just feel the stuffy heat in the carriage, and I opened a corner of the window curtain with my fingertips.

The street market was busy at the moment, the pedestrians were crowded, the carriage had to stop.

The cool wind blew in through the window, and Pei Ci finally regained consciousness, and caught a glimpse of a white figure standing in front of the candied haws seller, with a veil on his face, so he couldn't see his face clearly.

At this moment, the passers-by in front dispersed a little, the carriage drove again, and the figure gradually receded...

Pei Ci subconsciously shouted, "Stop!"

The groom was startled, stopped hurriedly, turned his head to look, "Master?"

Pei Ci who was in the carriage opened the curtain, walked out from the carriage, and looked not far away. He also followed his gaze, but he could only look at the candied haws vendor.

Pei Ci's gaze stayed on the white figure for a while, and then he said in a deep voice, "I still have some things to do, you go back home first."

The groom didn't know why, so he had to leave first.

When the carriage was far away, Pei Ci slowly stepped up and walked towards the figure.

Sheng Baoling was holding a candied haws in her hand, and the corners of her eyes were reddened by the wind. It was sweet and sour, and tasted very good. She sneaked out at night just to take a bite.

Just as she was carefully lifting a corner of the veil and biting off half of the candied haws, suddenly someone hurried forward and bumped into her.

Sheng Baoling suddenly staggered and swayed, and fell backwards!

Suddenly, a wide but slightly cool palm grabbed Sheng Baoling's hand and brought her back forward.

The surrounding wind and noise seemed to quiet down at this moment.

With his cheek against his clothes, Sheng Baoling could faintly hear a loud heartbeat, beating faster and faster.

With the familiar cool and faint fragrance, she didn't even need to raise her head, her body already knew who it was.

That familiar breath, with the slight aroma of wine, wrapped her whole body into his arms.

It was so similar to the intimacy in several dreams, but it was different. Sheng Baoling's face suddenly became hot to the base of his neck, and the rapid "bang bang bang" sound could no longer tell whether it was his own or Pei Ci's.

Different from Sheng Baoling's panic, Pei Ci's whole body was tense the moment she pressed her into his arms, and the palm of her hand seemed to be scorched in half, but he was reluctant to let go.

He had never thought of being so close, so when this moment really happened, his brain, which had always been rational and sober, was indeed blank, and the tight string seemed to be broken.

Pei Ci's ears were slightly red.

Before Sheng Baoling could react in the future, Pei Ci let go of her first.

The veil had already slipped and fell to the ground.

Sheng Baoling took a deep breath, and then looked up. The man who was a head taller than her in front of her had a clear face. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she noticed that Pei Ci's ears were red.

Noticing the faint smell of alcohol, Sheng Baoling was a little surprised, did Pei Ci go to drink?
Immortals can drink mortal wine?

The corner of her mouth curled up slightly, "Pei Ci, why are you here?"

Pei Ci's eyes fell on the ground, and he bent slightly. Under Sheng Baoling's gaze, his cold white fingertips gently picked up the veil on the ground. The white silk looked softer against the backdrop of his wide palm.

He shook the veil in his hands lightly, and then handed it to Sheng Baoling, his voice was clear and warm, "This question should be asked by the humble minister."

"Of course I'm bored in the palace, come out for a walk." The corners of Sheng Baoling's mouth curled up, and he took the veil from Pei Ci and put it on.

At this time, she realized that the candied haws in her hand had touched Pei Ci's waist after the bump just now, leaving a piece of sugar stains.

Sheng Baoling blushed, quickly took out a handkerchief, and handed it to Pei Ci, "Sorry, just wipe it off."

Pei Ci's eyes were blank, not knowing why.

Sheng Baoling pointed to his waist. The original white and clean robe was now stained with sugar, which was very obvious.

"It's okay."

Pei Ci glanced at the clean and soft handkerchief in Sheng Baoling's hand, but he didn't take it. He just took out his own handkerchief and wiped it a few times. Seeing that it wasn't clean, he didn't continue.

It's just that right now, the candy-stained handkerchief is inappropriate to put away, and it's also inappropriate to throw it away.

Pei Ci frowned.

Seeing Pei Ci's rare awkward look, Sheng Baoling couldn't restrain the corners of his mouth from rising, and reached out to take the handkerchief from his hand, wrapped it in his own clean handkerchief, and then put it away.

Facing Pei Ci's puzzled gaze, she explained, "After all, I did the dirty work. After I wash it, I'll return it to you next time."

Pei Ci was slightly taken aback, and nodded slightly.

Sheng Baoling smiled even more. The spies once said that Pei Ci loves to be clean, and would never touch dirty things again.

She thought it was just a joke, but she didn't expect it to be true. Today she saw it for real.

Pei Ci like this, with such a hint of alcohol, seemed to have some fireworks, more like a mortal.

The two walked on the side with fewer people, and neither of them spoke.

Pei Ci's face seemed calm, but his ears were still slightly red.

Only he himself knew how excited he was when he saw Sheng Baoling put the two handkerchiefs together.

Putting such close-fitting things together... how not to think too much.

Sheng Baoling didn't notice Pei Ci's mood swings at all, lifted a corner of the veil, and bit off the candied haws. Pei Ci who was next to him was about to stop him, but it was too late.

He could only look at her, bit off the candied haws, chewed and swallowed.

His lips moved, trying to say something, but he didn't say anything.

It was Sheng Baoling who saw this scene, blinked, and said softly, shaking the candied haws in his hand, "You want to eat too?"

There seemed to be light in her eyes, like the shining stars in the night sky at this time.

Pei Ci was almost distracted, he never ate these things, but the candied haws she was holding in her hand now looked brightly colored and very attractive.

His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he asked without answering, "You came out so late to eat these?"

Sheng Baoling paused slightly while holding the hand of the candied haws, his eyes dodged, "It's not... come out to inspect the people's sentiments, and try it by the way."

Obviously, even a three-year-old child would not believe these words, let alone Pei Ci in front of him.

But Pei Ci didn't expose her, but quietly followed her side, blocking passers-by on the other side for her.

Sheng Baoling bit her lip, stopped, turned her head to look at Pei Ci, and asked in a deep voice, "I just want to taste it, and I haven't tasted it for many years."

Hearing the gloomy emotions of the people next to him, Pei Ci's heart seemed to be pulled into a ball.

　I wish you all a wonderful and relaxing holiday. For those who have recommended tickets, move your fingers and hit my bald head~
