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

Chapter 47 Brother and Empress Dowager?
Sheng Baodai was nervous, listening to King Jing's voice, her heart was disturbed, she didn't even dare to raise her face to take a look.

I just felt that sound, like a penetrating power, penetrated the body and resounded in the heart, "bang" and "bang" followed.

Sheng Baoling looked at Sheng Baodai from the corner of her eye, and saw that Sheng Baodai, who had always been bold, straightforward and a little wayward, lowered her face at this moment, and her hands under the sleeves were still clenched on the cuffs, obviously a little nervous.

The delicate state of the daughter's family was revealed at this moment.

King Jing looked at Sheng Baoling, and saw that there were people beside him, one of whom belonged to the Pei family, he had some impressions, and the other looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

The aristocratic ladies who originally lived in the palace had left the palace to go back to various mansions one after another on the day of the banquet, and these two people were still in the palace, so Sheng Baoling could only stay.

The girl next to her is probably from the Sheng family, she may have met her before, so she feels familiar now.

But there was another person, the eldest daughter of the Pei family, Pei Ci's direct sister.

Prince Jing knew that Pei Wan had a marriage contract with Shen Cong'an from the Marquis of Weiyuan, why did he enter the palace this time?
If it's just going to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, there are so many ministers' daughters, and the Sheng family, why come to the Pei family.

When did Sheng Baoling get so close to the Pei family?

Jian Jia at the side served tea, and Hou was at the side, seeing King Jing's gaze lingering on the girl of the Pei family for a moment, he felt a little flustered in his heart,

To tell the truth, it's really nothing, but if you have too much heart, besides, this girl from the Pei family is Pei Ci's younger sister, and the two brothers and sisters look alike.

It's not good for the empress to keep anyone by her side, but she keeps someone who is engaged to be married, and she is Mrs. Pei's younger sister.

No matter how you look at it, it seems a little selfish.

But what Jian Jia didn't know was that no matter how much Jing Wang noticed, he would never think of what she thought.

The most he could think of was that Sheng Baoling got close to Pei Ci because of Pei Ci's power in the court.

Sheng Baoling's eyes were deep, and she fell on King Jing, "You are not young anymore. These days in Beijing, which girl do you have a crush on?"

King Jing was slightly startled, he had heard such words from the emperor and the concubine, but in the Hall of Compassion, he never expected to hear it again from Sheng Baoling.

For a moment, he looked as usual, and replied, "Thanks to the care of the empress dowager, I have no intention of getting married yet."

Pei Wan on the side listened strangely, why did King Jing only call the Empress Dowager, but not the Empress Dowager like a little emperor?
Somewhat strange.

Sheng Baodai was quite calm at first, but now when she heard Sheng Baoling ask King Jing about the marriage, her heart was raised, hanging in the air, unable to move up or down.

Fortunately, Jing Wang said that he did not intend to start a family.

Sheng Baodai breathed a sigh of relief, but her reaction was so obvious that even Pei Wan next to her could detect it.

Pei Wan is not stupid, her mind is even more sensitive, Sheng Baodai's reaction can only show one point, she is happy with King Jing.

...

After a day, it will be time to return to Pei's mansion.

That evening, after talking with Sheng Baoling, Pei Wan, who just got up and was about to leave, saw Jian Jia took out a wooden box from nowhere, took out the incense pills from it, and put it in the incense burner.

She stared blankly, her eyes were tightly locked on the wooden box.

She can't remember wrongly, she has seen this wooden box at her brother's place, and there will only be one box of this style, because it was made by her brother himself.

Because of this, when it was lost later, everyone in the mansion was looking for it, but they couldn't find it in the end.

But why did things that disappeared back then appear in the palace like this, in the Hall of Compassion and Ning, in the hands of this maid.

What does this have to do with Sheng Baoling?
It's unbelievable how things from Pei's mansion spread to the palace.

At this time, Pei Wan had a bold guess in her heart, she was afraid that the thing had never been lost, but was given away by her elder brother, and why she pretended to be lost might be because of the identity of the other party.

Thinking about it this way, her whole body seemed to have been struck by lightning, and she lost all consciousness.

Thinking of entering the palace again, having received so much care from Sheng Baoling, and Sheng Baoling's beautiful eyes...

In the past, at home, what she heard the most was that her own eyes looked very much like Pei Ci.

If at that time, Sheng Baoling saw not Pei Wan but his elder brother through his own eyes, then the person who praised him would not be himself at all, but his elder brother.

She took so much care of herself, probably because of her brother.

When the empress dowager, why should she care so much about the body of a courtier, and why should she take care of the courtier's younger sister?
Pei Wan's hand unconsciously scratched at the palm, her nails made her palm hurt, but she didn't feel it.

My head is full of questions.

Could it be that...the elder brother and the empress dowager have a personal... relationship?

With this conjecture in mind, Pei Wan returned to Pei's mansion, and was stopped by the groom as soon as she entered the gate of Pei's mansion.

Che Fu explained everything that he saw that day, everything in detail. When the lord entered the palace, he clearly had nothing in his hands, but when he left the palace, he had a stove in his hand, and his hands were burned red A large piece was made, but no one was allowed to touch it.

Pei Wan's expression became even more strange.

It's the palace again.

and many more……

Didn't the box of incense pills that elder brother took out from the incense room last time be given to Sheng Lang?
At that time, she could see clearly.

And the elder brother has not been married for so many years, and he has a son and a half daughter, could it be that he and Sheng Lang?

At this moment, Pei Wan suddenly felt that if she was the empress dowager, she would be able to accept it.

In fact, no matter who it is, that face looks the same.

She sighed, feeling as if she was carrying something that she didn't need to carry, she took heavy steps and walked towards the backyard.

At this time, when Pei Ci came out of the courtyard, he saw Pei Wan and called out in a deep voice, "Wan'er."

Pei Wan was about to run when she heard the footsteps, but she took a step too late. When Pei Ci's voice rang in her ears, she had to stop. She took a deep breath, adjusted the smile on her face, and turned around. Turning around, facing Pei Ci, "Brother is also in the mansion today?"

Pei Ci walked to her side, with his elder brother's frame on his body, his voice was low, "If I'm not here, where should I be?"

Pei Wan suddenly smiled awkwardly, and wanted to pass by him and return to her yard.

But just as you took a step, that cold voice sounded again, but this time, the words she said, the words she asked, and the meaning were shocking.

Pei Ci: "The Queen Mother was ill the day before yesterday?"

When he asked this question, his eyes fixed on Pei Wan in front of him, and when his eyes met, his expression was calm, but only the heart hidden in his chest knew who his words and deeds were for.

So calm and self-sufficient, who is it for?
