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

Chapter 4 Meeting Pei Ci Again, Sheng Baoling Feels Guilty
Faced with the words of the second wife of the Sheng family, Sheng Baoling just bent his lips and smiled faintly. Before returning to the Sheng family, he had already guessed that there would be such a remark.

The meaning of the second room is that the little emperor's harem is empty now, and he wants to send his daughter Sheng Baodai into the palace.

Sheng Baoling looked at Mr. Sheng beside him, and seeing that he did not object, he immediately understood that his father had the same intention.

Sheng Baoling was silent, and the eldest lady of the second room was a little embarrassed.

At this moment, an angry voice sounded, with obvious joy, "Your sister is back?"

Sheng Baoling's direct brother, Sheng Gong, quickly stepped into the hall, his steps were hasty, obviously he came in a hurry after getting the news.

Sheng Baoling got up when she heard the sound, caught a glimpse of Sheng Gong, her nose turned sour, and before she could say her brother, she caught a glimpse behind her brother, another figure that she was very familiar with recently.

The feeling of missing my brother came to an abrupt end.

Pei Ci saluted respectfully, his expression was clear, but his face was usually a little pale.

"My minister sees the Empress Dowager."

Sheng Baoling didn't want to put on airs at home, but now Pei Ci can't stand it.

Sheng Gong pulled Pei Ci, "Xuan Jin, my sister has never liked these red tapes, let alone my family is here today, so there is no need to be like this."

The Sheng family knew that Sheng Gong and Pei Ci had been friends for the past few years, as if they were big brothers, they were naturally a family.

But Sheng Baoling didn't know, he just had that dream last night, and now he heard his eldest brother call the person in the dream family, his heart skipped a beat, and he was a little inexplicable when he saw Pei Ci's neither sad nor happy expression flustered.

The Pei Ci in front of him, like the banished fairy who doesn't touch the world, can't be connected with the daring apprentice in Sheng Baoling's dream.

She pursed her lips, "Brother is saying that Mr. Pei doesn't need to care about these empty etiquette."

Unexpectedly, Pei Ci gently pushed the hand held by Sheng Gong, "How can you be rude in front of the Empress Dowager?"

After saying that, he saluted Sheng Baoling respectfully.

The Sheng family was not surprised and laughed twice.

Sheng Gong was helpless, and said to his sister, "Xuan Jin has always been so stubborn about these etiquettes."

Sheng Baoling nodded slightly, but her mood was more complicated.

How can a person who cares so much about etiquette do such things in his dreams.

What a goddamn dream I had.

With Pei Ci here, it's not easy for the elders of Sheng's family to talk too much about Sheng Baoling. They were chatting, but they were talking about business.

The second lady of the Sheng family couldn't stay longer, so she had to leave with Sheng Baodai.

Hearing that cold voice kept ringing in his ears, Sheng Baoling couldn't help but secretly glanced at him from the corner of his eye.

Pei Ci was wearing a plain suit today, which made the aura of unflavored fireworks all the more accentuated.

Sheng Baoling's eyes gradually moved to Pei Ci's face. Unlike Sheng Gong, who looked like his father, who was a little rough, Pei Ci's appearance was more elegant, and even the sickness between his eyebrows and eyes could not hide his outstanding beauty. The appearance, on the contrary, added a bit of abstinence.

Especially those eyes, like a deep pool, seem to be able to pull people into it bit by bit, if they accidentally look at each other, it will make people feel palpitations of sinking into it
While Sheng Baoling was looking at him, Pei Ci seemed to sense something, and turned his eyes to Sheng Baoling.

Those ancient and calm eyes caught Sheng Baoling, who was spying and sizing up, in an instant.

Pei Ci seemed to be unclear, and when he cast his eyes on Sheng Baoling, he didn't move for a moment, as if he was asking.

That kind of serious gaze made Sheng Baoling's face feel hot, and what appeared in his mind was Pei Ci's extremely ambiguous posture of trapping himself in front of the table, asking him word by word how seriously he was executed in the court. look.

Sheng Baoling hurriedly lowered her eyes, but at this moment, the peaceful heart lake was like a puddle of disturbed spring water, with endless ripples.

"too"

As soon as Pei Ci said a word, Sheng Baoling stood up suddenly, and the question suddenly stuck in his throat.

Sheng Baoling's ears were slightly hot, "I haven't come back to the mansion for a long time, my father and elder brother are talking to Mr. Pei, and my daughter is going outside for a walk."

After the words fell, she left the hall in a hurry without waiting for anyone to reply.

Jian Jia, who was waiting outside to talk to the little sister she hadn't seen for a long time, was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly followed.

At this moment, in the living room, Mr. Sheng stroked his beard, thoughtfully, "Why do you think that Baoling's temperament is the same as before when he comes back this time?"

I thought that after a few years in the palace, her temperament would be more stable now, but just now, she still looks a bit like before entering the palace.

Sheng Gong was happy to see it, "Father and sister are like this, it can be seen that life in the palace is not as sad as we guessed before."

Master Shan nodded, "This is a good thing."

It can be seen that the first emperor, as an uncle, still took good care of Baoling, and did not blame Baoling for what the Queen Mother Fan had done in the past.

Sheng Gong laughed twice, and said loudly to Pei Ci who was at the side, "Just to make Xuan Jin laugh."

Pei Ci pursed his lips and smiled lightly.

The autumn wind is cool, and it is almost winter.

A lot of withered and fallen leaves were piled up in the yard and swept to the corner.

Sheng's mansion is frugal, these leaves are the best introduction when lighting a fire in the kitchen.

Sheng Baoling sat in the corridor for a while, looking at the familiar scenery, in a trance, as if returning to five years ago.

At that time, the elder brother hadn't participated in Chunwei, and he often invited some friends to study in the mansion.

Sheng Mansion, don't mention how lively it is.

It's not as deserted as it is today.

Or, it's not the Sheng mansion that is deserted, but his current state of mind.

It is inevitable to feel sad when seeing the old scene.

But at this moment, a voice came from not far away, sharp and ear-piercing, with a tone of complaint and dissatisfaction, "Deliberately pay us out, who doesn't know what the big lady has in mind."

"Don't you just want to send her, Sheng Baodai, into the palace to be the master, and I'm afraid that the rest of us will get close to the empress dowager and steal Sheng Baodai's limelight."

"What are you guarding against? If you ask me, the officials may not necessarily take a fancy to her, Sheng Baodai!"

"That's right, she doesn't look as good-looking as Sister Baoqin."

"The two younger sisters say that, but they are really going to hurt my sister."

Sheng Baoling frowned. Hearing what he said, it should be the concubine girls who had just met talking here.

In the back house, talking about the mistress and elder sister like this is really unreasonable.

A few voices came to this side suddenly without realizing it.

Jian Jia coughed heavily.

The three of them were startled, and hurriedly raised their heads, and saw that the person sitting in the corridor was Sheng Baoling who had just met, and his face suddenly turned pale.

The one with a more stable temper, the daughter of the concubine of the third room, Sheng Baoqin Shi Shiran saluted, "Baoqin and the two younger sisters are talking here, I never thought that I would disturb the empress, please forgive me."

Only now did Sheng Baoling take a few more glances at Sheng Baoqin, and he spoke and behaved politely. It could be seen that Sanfang raised this concubine as a legitimate daughter.

The other two lowered their faces. Because of what they said just now, they felt guilty and dared not look at Sheng Baoling at all.

"I haven't been back to this Sheng Mansion for a few years, I really didn't expect that the atmosphere in the mansion has become like this now."

The three of them didn't dare to say a word at once, you looked at me, I looked at you, and finally lowered their faces, and no one dared to speak lightly, holding a fluke in their hearts, maybe Sheng Baoling didn't hear what they said just now.

Seeing that the three of them didn't have any self-knowledge, Sheng Baoling's eyes were piercing, "It seems that the Ai family has to ask the second aunt and the third aunt how they raise the concubine girls in the mansion."
